Dr. John C. 'Carman. With mere than 7E per cent of the population of Anderson in the Sunday eenoola and church, any man or woman should'' be proud to any that "Anderson is My Town." THE "UNEMPLOYED" Jacob S. Coxey, of Masslllon, O., announccH that he is going to rulsc this spring a new "Coxey's army," to march on Washington and impress the government ollictnls with the need of better legislation! May 1 will be the anniverHary of tlie Coxey army march 20 years ago. These periodical parade? of tlio "unemployed" bav? serio-comic ele ments characteristic of our pictures que American Ufa, Yet there lu noth ing funny about the general questfon of unemployment. While the num ber of "out of works" is constantly aggravated by unwise legislation and needless business fears, there seems to be a steadily increasing inability of our idustrial system to provide regular work. Itecent statistics /from New York state show that 87 per cent of the manufacturers get help by sticking curds in the wlndowH. Tin* ability to attract labor In this way Indicates u constant Idle reserve drifting about the streets. The ?maller type of factories for merly so common were much more steady In operation. Turning off an I industrious mechanic was regarded I as almost an disgraceful as bankrupt-1 cy. To confess thgfyuu had no work for him was Interpreted by the com munity us showing mismanagement, or lack of hustling for orders. Today a manufacturing firm fluct uates-; in number of help employed. ,The fellow who is dropped begins [search for work with grim determi nation- After rebuffs",, he iosec his nerve. Lack of nourishing food, constant worry about Iiis family, give his face a wild look of strain. With frowsy clothes he looks like a tramp to the man who h if es help. Many states have established em ployment agencies. Too often, man aged by politicians, <Vaey have been iuofectent. There Is a valuable sug gestion in the fact that the labor ex changes recently established in En gland filled 1,500 jobs daily during their secoud year. * jCESSOBIWO TjpEyHKATBE When they trled^p New York to atops "Mrs. Warren's Profession," alleged to b e Immoral, a mob of would-be spectators blocked Broad way Prices as "nigh as $50 each, were paid for rear balcony seats. Condemnation of unclean plays fre quently producea a result eprclsely opposite to- that which was desired. A certain company was closed out at Trenton, N. J.

A problem of nj|ch difficulty is resented by a group of dramas which apeak openly of vice and lta sordid honor apparently from desire to warn the publie against danger. But the audience may not-eeo the perfor mance' from this vwW-poInt It may be the same crowd that gloat* over so-called "aplcej* salad with very Uttl6 dressing."

The results are physically nauseating and mentally depressing. In the year 1910 there waa a gen eral clean-up of graft In a number of cities and states. The r?sulta were widely accepted as rather permanent. The house o* poiitfes, after ablutlona of disinfectant* and purifiers, seemed In fairly wholesome and sweet condi tion. The New York Nation, remark ing on the improvement, said at that time: "It will be long before things can get aa bad at Albarr at Colum bus, and at Plttaburgh, as they were before the work of hou??*cl*?alng waa undertaken. i Perhaps the editorial prophet who wrote that forecast hv not as confi dent of 'thin regulation aa he waa This recurrence over and over again, of the black trail of graft, through public departments, legialaturea and feature of American life. Even if it were possible to put a lot city councils, is the most depressing of the grafters In jaU, the tempera mental-good nature m the American people would cense As-their relief. The opinion wo?tjr jfb widely enter telnet, that disgrace of uni thing had "punished them enough." The shock ?f s?paration from com fortable or 'even faftaed homes would awaken widesprei?t/aympathy. The distress of their fan^Ues would create ia p'ty. The "plucky wuj iu which they accepted the Inevitable" would give rise utmost to admiration. Petitions for their release would be freely <! in utmost any business com munity. Graft will go on und on in politics, until the grafters ure put on the sauie planen au burgluru, and are Hen tented accordingly and the sentence executed. ?x?gai involutions ueed to be ubhreviated, ho that final justice can he meted out while the memory of such acts is ?tili fresh. MENACE OF THE TIMES We think that the State Sunday School convention might well petl tlon congress to pans some constitu tional act to prevent obucene litera ture from being circulated in the mails. We have heretofore called attention to the fact that the Cosmopolitan has contained some stories that are abso lutely foul. ThlH has been more than a stundurd magazine. It lias been a leader. And other magazines have followed its lead?not quite so bra zenly, but none the less subtly pub lishing articles that are so cleverly written liiut the smut is giazed over, but the harm done. Colliers and oth ers have slipped over the line. There should be a national board of mugazine censorship, just as there Is for moving pictures. We can reach each and suve the youth of South Carolina cheaper than we can prosecute those who would otherwise become criminals. You have gut to pay the taxes.

AULL SAID LETTERS WERE RAD And Would Beat Blease for A Seat in the United States Senate Columbia, Feb. 12.?Not a biuale new fact was brought out at the in vestigation into the affairs at the asylum Thursday afternoon. Col. B. H. Aull went back on the stand and aaid that he did not tell Dr. J. W. Babcock that the two letters written by the governor attacking character of Dr. Eleanor Saunders would beat Blease for the senate, lie also said that he told Dr. Babcock that a certain newspaper would pny a biK sum for the letters. At a previous session Col. Aull said that lie did not remember these state ments. He aaid that he considered one of the letters written by the gov ernor a reflection on Dr. Saunders, a young woman. Dr. W. L. Settlemeyer, of Caffney, a member of the board of r?genta, was on the stand for several hours Ills memory was vague on many mat ters. He could not call one specific instance to-substantiate his attitude toward Dr. Saunders. lie based his opinions on hereaay evidence. Dr. Saunders cross examined him and he paid a high tribute to her work and character. The sessions will be continued Friday. MORNING SESSION The Sunday school conver. .'on re sumed its work this morning at 9:40. The song service formed a delightful introdcutlqn to the day's work. The devotional ..exercises were conducted by Dr. T. : H. Law. Almost every denominational publishing house has on exhibition a full line of Sunday school literature, and Mr. Fitzgerald, of Nashville. Tenu.,, is In charge of the exhibit. Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner address ed the convention upon the topic "Graded Instruction in th? Klemen tary Division." She used the im provements in facilities for biuldlngs as a type of improvements in Sun day school Instruction. The chief re sponsibility for Bible knowledge rests upon the parents, rattier than upon Sunday school teachers. The generation preceding curs hadi no songs nor literature especially prepared for' little children. Just aa have been five, steps nl the advance vance of lighting facilities, so there havo been fivg stepp in the advance of intellectual 'and moral Illumina tion, in th^lmethoda, of Sunday school instruction! ?

The strongest reason for this ef I fort is found in the Master's words tu 'ni? disciples when they under took to hinder devoted mothers from i troubling him with their little onee ! "Suffer the little ones to come unto \ me, for theirs is the kingdom ol heaven." Mr. Roper rendered an improvisa tion of "Safe in the arms of Jesus," I words by Miss Fannie Crosby, melody by W. H. Donne. It will be interest in? inform*.: !on to many to know : without any idea of the melodr iu ; which they would be sung and Mr ! that Miss Crosby wrote those wordB Doane oimiliarly wrote the melody. He went to Miss Crosby and played the melody and asked her to write the words suitable for it. She pro duced the words previously written and they were found to be Just what he desired. '.'The Challenge of Adolescence," was presented by Prof. J. W. Thom son, of Winthrop College. More than half a million of young people in the "teen age" drop out of our Sunday schools every year. This fact places the problem clearly before the Chris tians workers. The period of ad* oleucence is the age of hero worship; the time for dveelopment of social and religious instincts. William Pitt and younger, and James Pox are famous instances ol the effects to be secured by training which begins in Infancy and is care fully continued htrougb all the years of chilhood and youth. The biography of the Bible appeals to the youthful Instinct of hero wor ship. Pay personal attention to your pu* pils., This must be done doling the week and opportunity for It should be diligently sought. Dr. Williamson gave the second ot his expositions of Philippines. Pan! declares -."For me to live is Christ." What a marvelous transformation of mind occurred between the time when he hated Christ wi' h all th? force of is nature and the time when he wrote these words. "For me to die is gain." Death bad no gloom for Paul. He does not call it "death." He says "to be absent from the body is to be at home.with the Lord." ? Paul is anxious for all the members of his church to be in harmony with each other. He is opposed to discords and appeals for accord.
