THE (?HE ATE lt HEH?
Wc listened to a follow telling of ills
virtues. He didn't drink, he didn't
gumble, he didn't practice immorality
and he didn't do a w:;ole lot of other
things that his wicked bretberen do.
Ile wan proud of himself, und un
thinking acquaintances pointed to him
us the model young man. It wa?
very nice, and fortunate for the young
men and fortunate for the community
that he hud not soiled hi's moral con
stitution .
Dut upon Investigation wc found
that the young mun was horn and
reared in a town that was about as
"dry" us the middle of thc Sahara in
the midst of a long dry ?noli and that
be lind never spent any time in un en
vironment where liquor and liquor
drinking was common. Gambling wu?
almost unknown in the town where
this young fellow grew up, und thc
brothel was unheard of. Likewise,
a great many of ?the pitfalls into which
young men fall had ne\?or existed
anywhere about that young man. It
is very fortunate that the young man
is so immaculate. He deserves some
credit, but does he deserve any great
credit for being so? He had n_?vcr
encountered the very temptations
which lie boasted he hud not yielded
to. Ho had never been put to the
test. Had he been put to thc test,
und had be withstood each and every
one of Chem, then his self praise would
be proper.
Our Idea of thc hero in thc morai
sphere ls thu fellow who has met
with these temptations, und perhaps
who has fallen a prey to them, but
who has regained mis hearings and
triumphed over them. He is thc fel
low who deserves praise.
There's many a slip 'twixt thc cup
and thc Hp, and many a slip after the
cup has boon to the Hp.
FAY THE TRICE
We might quote something about
the dog and tho sow, hut will not.
Anyway tho A nd orson lan s have gone
back to crap-shooting and vaudeville,
Just Mks any other wicked city.
Newberry Observer.
As for the former typo of diversion,
we presume our Newberry contem
poray has reference to tho colored
population. When ''crap-shooting" ls
made the means of gambling, it is
wrong. But when we reflect, that it
ia practiced almost exclusively by
those who dont realise it ls any great
wrong, until they are suddenly ap
praised by a squad of blin-coats, and
by a race ?with whom "rollin' bones"
comes as natural as eating water
melon and rodding chicken roosts,
we are not Inclined to condemn them
without tempering Justice with mercy.
As for vaudeville, well a community
can gererally bete almost anything it
wants, provided it is willing to pay
for lt. If Anderson wanta something
better than vaudeville, she could have
lt, but lt would cost a little moro.
If the class of amusements afforded
at present does not meet with ap
proval, then demand something ot a
hlghor order, and then gt ve 1t your
support so the one who fathers the
amusement ca? pay for it and at thc
same time niako a living for himself.
CAN SUBMARINES OBEY THE
LAW!
There ha-.e boen many Instances In
the. last taroo or four weeks of sub
marine* treating enemy merchantmen
according to law. gtying them fair
warning bet?re attacking them. And
have the submarine crows suffered
thereby as tho German government
has protested they would?
4'rhero 1J no recaidoj in?-ian ce,"
says the Now York World, "In which
any German submarine has suffered
damage or less of life by such con
form t'y to law." The porll to the
submarine hes been greatly exagger
ated. It may fall sometimes in its
object, when Jt acts conformably to
law, as war vessels have always 00; n
liable to, hut lt has no snch excuse
as has been given for sinking peace
ful ships without warning.
"Even if the reverse were the case,"
remarks the World," the legal situa
tion would remain unchanged. Long
before submarines were thought ot.
merchant ships occasionally resisted
visit ..nd search. Sometimes they
escaped. Sometimes they fought
rack and inflicted serious damage on
their pursuers. That was the for
tune of war, and nobody dreamed that
neutrals must abandon their lawful
rights because 'a. belligerent ship o!
war had suffered In a conflict with a
merchant ship.'*
We are told on rood authority tb.i^
soon after the Georgia convict Creen
slashed Leo O. Frank's throat peti
tions were circulated about Atlanta
calling on Governor Harris to pardon
Creer.. All of which reminds ns of
the old "saying" that you could get
76 p?T cent of the people to sign a
petition to hang any Innosent man In
the world.
WHEN EAIIOlt 1? SCAKCK
Tiio real cause of tlvo widespread
labor troubles in the country is, in
all probability, not "German gold," or
even German influence, but a Himple
economic fact. I^abor l3 ?carce. Like
every other commodity, thc demand
for it make? it more valuable. r,u;
while tlie price? of other commodities
rise automatically in a "war marke:,"
labor can ?eldom got au increase with
out ?triking for lt.
lt is undoubtedlly a serious Incon
venience to the firm? Interested In
war supplies, and to the mercantile
interests of the communities where
their factories are located, to have
the work? amt down by ?trikes.
Hut on general principies, the strik
ers aro Hcarcely to be blani"d, inas
much as their own eo.it of living hus
gone np while their wages have not,
and inasmuch as their employers-if
Will street reports are trustworthy
ore muking Immense profit? from tl. ir
work.
It may irritate other classes of
citizens to have returning prosperity
endangered by industrial revolts, but
lt's natural enough from the stand
point of the workmen,, and also of
thc disinterested economist.
FA It M AND FINANCE
The annual banker-farmer confer
ence in Chicago recently was taken
au a matter of course. And y il it ls
only a few years since a small coun
try-town banker in Illinois was labor
ing to interest the American Hank
el's association in agricultural prob
lems. So quickly docs an Institution
grow when lt fills a genuine need.
Every banker in the country, large 01
small, now recognb.es thc intimate
relation between farming and finance,
and is glad to do what he can to
foster rural progress ulong all linen.
Tho same hanker who started thc bali
a-roi Ung said at the Chicago confer
ence :
"Wo have led the great movement
for country farm demonstrators, ?nd
urged ?oil surveys and the necessity
for a careful study of tho commerciay
fertilizer propaganda. Our commit
tees are working for better rural
schools, fitted to thc needs of citizen
ship and consolidated wherever pos
sible. Wc know that commerce and
a better marketing system begin or.
the country road, and that good Toadt
lead In more directions than can he
enumerated.. Wo realize that t'.-.c
wholesome, prosperous country towri
is an absol?to necessity, aud that
community building ls one of the bit:
needs and tasks ot the nation."
STUDENTS WHO EARN TH El It
WAY
University of Chicago stn lents earn
ed last year, through Jobi supplied
by thc university employment bureau,
the respectable sum of $148,516. And
that's only part of the story. There
may have boen just as much earned
by students who obtained work
through their own efforts. ]
Tho wage-earning activities of tire
students embraced nearly every tradi
aud profession. Some of them cam
el their college expenses as musi
cians or entertainers at receptions
dances and theaters. O hers did
housework and cooking-about $10,
000 worth. M m with political in
clinations worked at thc polls oh elec
tion day. Among tho various mea
and girls paying their own way were
bookkeepers, chauffeurs, clerks, cash
iers, conduct?: rt, Janitors, messengers
actors, truckmen, salesmen, models,
advertising solicitors, teachers, steno
graphers abd typists, telephone oper
ations, carpenters, plumbers, paper
hangers, barbers, translators, tutors
ushers, waiters and others less ealiy
classified. Altcgethor the employ
ment bureau founrt remunerative work
for 1,170 st oient?.
It ls an Impressive fact that sc
many students were able to carn mon
ey to pay for .their education. It it
1 still more impressive that thoy were
not ashamed ot. doing any honest
work, wUh either their beads ot their
bands, in the pursuit of learning. That
ls the most.distinctive thing aboni
American colleges.
In an. English university a student,
however poor, doesn't dare to soil his
hands in "menial work," or even tc
work for money'tn any way, to pa j
his college expenses. He mast be a
"gentleman," wtrich ls to say, ho
must be a non-producer; ho must let
the "serving classes" do whstevei
work bas to be done. Merely by
"canvassing for books" in vacation be
would lose caste. In his college
town, if he goes to a store and buys
? a pair of socks, he doesn't, dare carrj
the parcel home himself. It isn't
I done."
There is no such snobbery in sny
American colle**. The most hopeful
thing shoat American higher, educa
tion la its genuino spirit of democra
cy, which permits the student who
waits on table for his fellow students
to ningle with them socially on term?
Of complete equality.
Such a system is a guarantee thai
tlie uution'fl democratic ideals will be
safely ca ur led ?rn by the mea and wo
men destined to furnish mont of our
future leaders of public opinion. It
is a guarantee, too, that the student!
will not wander in mazes of imprac
tical theory und dreams. Working foi
his living In the active world 'luring
IIIB college courts? kv. ps a student's
fed planted firmly on flic ground and
helps to strengthen aud equip him
for real life.

and early ones at that.
It is not an uncommon sight at this
time of tho year to ceo os many as a
dozen parties of tourists pass through
the city enroute north, supposedly to
the mountains. It is a still common
er sight to see tho general populace,
when a strange car passes, to turn
and look for the tag at,tile rear that
will tell from what /St ito thc tour
ists hail. Several cars passed through
tho city yesterday, and most of them
were from Georgia. There was one
party from Mississippi, travelling in
a Ford touring car.

Mr. Will McCailey of Anderson, R.
F. D. No, 7, wa? exhibiting in thc city
yesterday some alfalfa grown on his
fama and it was some of the best over
seen in this section, measuring near
ly three feet helghth.
Mr. McCarley Bays that ho has
about an acre which ho sowed last
/September and since that time ho has
had to cut lt three times, averaging
about a ton to the acre at each time.
McKinney's Spring is getting to be
a very popular place these days for
small picnics and outings.- Two or
three times each week some affair is
given out there and no better place to
?pend a few hours can be found
around Anderson. .
The pond out there is also fine for
swimming and parties may be seen
there every, afternoon taking a dip.
Both the young ladies and the young
mea are taking advantage of this
splendid place and lt proving the de
mand in Anderson .? for a first class
swimming pool where thc people can
go and* spend a few hours in bath
ing.
Mr. McKinney has spent several
hundred dollars in having the pond
and spring fhtod up and he limits its
use to his friends. Although he has
been offered a handsome sum for thc
use of tho placo he has declined to
do this, preferring to have it for his
own use and that of ?his friends. The
spring bas been fixed up with cement
and benches and a Joggling boar*
have been p ovided under tbe large
trees which are growing nearby.
Someone, however, either does not
appreciate his hospitality or else is
Jealous because he is not allowed the
use of the pond. Recently tho boat
has been taken from the boat hou?o
and been disfigured and Injured. Sev
eral bathing suits have also been
taken from the boat house and all ef
forts to locate them have failed. Mr.
McKinney says that he will have 'to
place someone around close by td*
iwatch the pond in order that the
guilty parties may be apprehended.
Why Actors Like the M*?!eff.
In the August Woman's Home Com
panion a campaign for better moving
pictures is carried on. A Hst of films
ls recommended to families. - In the
department there also appears an ar
ticle entitled "The Newest Motion Pic
ture. Star.". This is an account of
Geraldine Parrar, who is to appear tn
the movies. ? A message from Miss
Farrar ls included. In tbe course ot
tho article about the entrance of this
famous opera sieger Into Hie movies
there is tho following explanation pf
wliy actors like t ie movies:
"Lovo o? art and a high salary are
not the only inducements which haye
.brought nearly all of the successful
actresses and actors into this new l-i
?Aistry. To have the regular week
ly 'ghost walk' (an theatrical people
call pay day- during the rehearsal of
call pay day, during tho rehearsal of
actual filming of it is a unique ex
perience in the life of even a star.
Moreover, in case of yearly contract,
the actors ure paid fifty-two weeks
In the year. Even popular stage
stars do not average six months of
work a year. During tho other six
monti)?, rehearsing included, they are
financially responsible for themselves.
"Tho privilege of seeing the sun
rise, of enjoying bracing breezes,
healthful outdoor work, and gofn? to
bcd early are luxuries unknown to tho
average stage favorite. She may be
forced to make her way Over dan
gerous rocky mountain paths until she
ends her day's work at sunset dangl
ing over a precipice on a thin rope, but
this, to many .young enthusiasts, ls
net work, lt is a fascinating adven
ture.
"Better still, the actor need not
worry about lines or cues. He can
react naturally to thc emotions creat
ed by the scene. He eau fill himself
with the ideas he ls seeking to Inter
pret, and not with the combination of
words prepared for him by someone
else. HBs stage artlflcally ?Ups off
like a' tinseled garmen* "
How to Tell When lt is Going to Kain
In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, I'.'jilin Lynde Harri, writes a
highly entertaining and exceedingly
practical article entitled "Let's Talk
About the Weather." Hp tells how to
guard against lightning, how to treat
punplo who have been struck by light
ning* how to tell when lt ls noie * to
rain and so on. On the subject 01 pre
dating rain he, writes in part as fol
lows:
. "There aro plenty of soundly scien
tific weather signs that aro right be
fore our eyes and vouched for by the
best meteorologists. For instance, the
'ning around the moon,' which is pro
duced, by a thin, ftinily cloud made up
of minute particles of icc-a state of
things n-)t built to last. Father some
unlooked for commotion will put a stop
to it in a different manner, or it will
pour 'cats and dogs' within threo days
at most. In eighty-six cases out of a
hundred; the rule holds good. A still
better sign ls the 'ricg around the
sun.'.
"This ls er lenee, pure and simple,
and so is tho old maxim: "Tho farther
the sight, tho nearer the rain.' lt is
not pessimism Oat makes people along
the coast predict a downpour when
Oiey can pi k cut the sept: rate houses

mountainous regie" ? ??1! xl "too good
to las',' when a distant ir; ii, generally
invisible. .jiues intu? view They are
shrewd meteorologic in making
these predictions, md also when a
rainstorm is brewing.
"Ot all nice, convincing weather
?:'.?-ns, however, a 'sickening sky' is
pretty nearly the most reliable. When.
Che deep warm blue grows p?>e:, an i
th?n whitish, and your spirits drop,
and shadows fray at tho edges' and dis
appear", then you have a sickening sky.
Bal?n is not being hrczgnt up ready
made from afar, lt it* being manufac
tured directly overhead.
"The color of tho sky, then, ls* a
fairly trustworthy sign in and of itself,
and so ls the color of the clouds. In
tensely white clouds against an in
tensely blue sky mean bright weather
ahead. Grayish .clouds on a lightish
blue foretell rain."
Phoebe Foster, vrtw v*H hove Um
leading role in "Back Home" when it
is presented in New York, says that
if-your tongue clings: to the root of
your month when you're interviewed,
and you never think of anything bril

terview has already been ' published,

Hew to Ile Su?o From Lightning.
* In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Rollin Lynde Hartt writes an
intcnselly interesting page entitled
"Let's Talk About ihe Weather." Ho
tells what Hie signs of rain are and
he also describes some of the phe
nomena o? thunder and lighting. Ile
says that lighting hits cows aliener
than people, barns oftener than houses,
country dwell inga of tened than city
dwellings, trees at the edge of a wood
of tened'thau those in tho thick of lt,
oaks oftener tha nniaples, and human
beings outdoors often than human
beings indoors.
He then gives the following advice
as to what to do in case of lightning;
"Run Tor a house-not a barn.
Once Inside a house, stay there. By
actual count, it is fourteen times ar.
safe as outdoors. '
"Outdoors," lt ls another tale, for
there you-may lie crazy enough to seek
shelter under trees. Don't misuuder

Are Birds Decreasing In Numbers?
? contributor to tlie current issue of
Parm and Fireside saya:
"Here in southern Maine the. birds
of greatest Moluc to farmers appear to
be growing fewer in numbers every
year.
"Near my homo is a beautiful grove
ot' hardwood trees in which many birds
have sung much.
"These forest choirs are made up of
the. voices of thrushes, robins, blue
birds, Jays. woodpeckers, cuckoos,
whippoorwills, and the lesser notes of
crickets, tree toads, and locusts.
"From the marshy places In tho
