And tho King shall- answer and say unto them, "Verily I say unto you. inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my breth ren, ye'have done it unto me.'" The brethron of tho lng are hun gry and cold and harassed. The shad ow of. a titanic death strugglo Mea heavy over an innocent land. Men and women for no fault, nor for tho fail ure to do well their work, aro thrown unprovided and helpless out of em ployment.

Tho birthday of tho Prince of Peace, whom we call our Savior and our Lord, is drawing near. Shall we, oh people of Anderson ! ?an we, reck lessly*, foolishly spend money on use less ' Christmas giving? Can you on Christmas morning dare to offer with a smile and a prettily worded wish, 'a supcrnods gift to your brother or friend, when people around you are looking into the eyes of Want? Will you not, you whom the Lord has prospered, you who receive your steady wage, you who with the wis dom of the ant, nave stored up some* thing for this rainy day. share now with the brethren of tho King? . There is hunger and privation at pur doora. It begins flret of course, wi iii the least efficient, but remember you who by. your own wisdom, hard work and foresight, havo accumulat ed something as the years have pass ed over your heads, you who have made your property yourselves, but who gavo you the brain and the cap acity? To v.-hom do you owe the hap py fact that you are not an imbecile or an incompetent? AU things come of Thee, Oh Lord, and of thine own havo wo given Thee." n . In the stringency of the Umes, many people have begun to econom ize by dismissing their servants, and doing their honsehold work themsel ves. That should be tho last step; taken only when one finds it actual ly imposible longer to pay even the moderate wages ot a poor negro. These people are among us. if wo do not give them work,. then how are they to live? Following the negro worker, comes.the laboring class ot whites. They *oo have many ot them bejn "laid oft'."

Tho J president telephoned Secretary Dan iels several times during tho day and also discussed the situation with? Act-1 lng Secertary Lansing. Two suggea-. tiens were vouchsafed by high offi cials, although they admitted ?hair views were purely speculative. Th? "iring, they thought, probably waa a friendly act giving the1 customary warning by a single shot signifying to. the Tennessee's li-unch that the port of Smyrna waa mined and clos ed, or else the boat waa turned back because It attempted to enter with out previous arrangement, with the Turkish authorities. Officials declined to believe the .fir ing waa an unfriendly of hostile act Assurances given by the porte have repeatedly pledged orotection and thc closest friendship for American c!ti sens. However, when the American warships first went to the Mediter ranean Turkey waa at. peace. Since then the United State? has taken over the diplomatic interests ot Great Britain and France, with whom the porte la at war, a circumstance fraught with delicate responsibilities. Efforts on the part of some Mo hammedan leaders in Tarli ey to start a "hoi? war** have made Americans aa well as British and French sub-' Jects apprehensive. The American consul at Smyrna reported his fears to Ambassador Morgcnthatj, under whose instructions the two warships, have been moving about In Turki Sb waters. Too the Ottoman government has Warned the United States that the port of Smyrna waa mined, and the Tennessee, .it is understood, baa stood off at Vouriah. ton miles away, while her laAnch started for the shore to investigate conditions at the con-; sulate.. . /.> Regardless of whether or not Smyrna, is a closed port, under the regulations ot the UnUed States navy.

That more hogs will be raised in Anderson County next year than ever before in tbe h ir tor y of the county is the statement made by country people coming- to Anderson every day. The farmers have come to r?al it? thai meat is growing scarcer year by year, that less, meat ls now being produced than wac ever before, and a majority of the far-sighted fermera In the county are going to lake stops to see to lt that they will not 1>e per sonally affected next yoar. In this connection, the following will be road with Interest: "With regard to meat animal-", our estimates Indicate an accumulated shortage since tho census year of ap proximately 19.2 por nant., or 8."36, 000 head of cattle; 11.6 per cent, or 6,009,000 head of sheep; and .">.2 nor cent, or 3,214.000 head of swine. Tho Indicated total shortage nf meat an imals since the census ot 1910 ts therefore approximately 18,209.000 head, or nearly nine beef cattle, soven sheep and over three hogs for each one hundred of tho total estimated population of January, 1914." It must bo understood that in ar riving at this ' conduelen the depart ment takes into consider.'.ion the in crease In population lb four years; Therefore the figure sdo not repre sent the actual, but the relative, shortage of -meat animals. A tre mendous reduction in actual num bers is accompanied by an Increase of 1395.487,000 In the farm value of the raw material cf one of our most imnortant food supplies. In such, circumstances lt seems as If any section of the country where crass will grow should highly prize it The South especially should ap preciate the grass which lt so labor iously tries , to eradicate. This part of the country, ls well calculated for the breeding ct livestock-a mild cli mate, opportunity for pasturage, wat er, and a leng growing season for corn. More than that, every yoir lt nuts millions ot dollars tn commer cial fertilisers, which never can sup ply, the humus for which the j soil cri?s. It is common experience that bet ter ?O?O yields come irom tue farms that carry Hvetlock. This ia a fa^i that can riot be refuted. Th?? farm era of tbe South would find their yields of cot to n increased if they de-: voted some, bf their acres to livestock, and marketed their cotton seed In this way. The shortage sbown by the department's estimate of rf-at ani mals should assure them of thc cer tainty of a market for all they can raise. ? And Just aa Important, if not more so, is to plant good aeed cora. . Corn planting is now under way tn Louisiana and Texas. Fro ra now on lt will follow tbe season north ward until approximately 110,000.000 acres of corn have been planted. The department 6t agriculture ls alive to the Importance ot aood seed, and is now iasuing valuable instructions in regard to preparing seed corn for planting. ' This ls a matter et vital import ance* to the farmer. For fifteen years the department has been experiment ing. Some two year? ago, aa a re sult, Secretary Wilson reported that, by seed selection alone, the farmer could i, crease MB yield of corn from 25 to 50 per cent . Seed solectlon is inexpensive. It only takes a little time and tron?le. Cultivating ona hundred acres of corn, lt by this simple method o? planting good, seed he can increase his yield 25 per. cant, the farmer is Tiitw practically throwing away 25 acres, i'ow can be afford to do that? Tbe .average yield of corn returns all too little profit as it is. With such a gain in view, no man can hon estly plant aeed shoveled from the crib to the com sheller. The method is simplicity Itself. Bat t'?.e consequences of a 60 per ceat, or even 25 per cent. Increase In tho corn crop, with resultant increase in the farmers' purchasing power,' and decrease in .Important food prices, with no nat loee to the farmer, can not be over-estimated. \resentatlves ni houses in terested in tho manufacture ot fire ftghtlng apparatus, want to Spartan burg for the pur4M-.se of inspecting the type ot pump being used by the Spartanburg department The. salesman representing the 8eagrave Company-had everything in real) In eui for .council ta vluit fv?5???^ bus, Ohio? and Inspect his company's 9?ect. i!?5c?. bat .the tHp vra-j eju!e$ off st the issi minute and when Tuesday arrived council decided that such a trip was not necessary.
