In your community not of your own

your answer aright when we say that
few, if any. of us have even so much
as one neighbor,
What a lonely lifo we live after all,
a life without neighbors. DeaconB

No. many of UH arc too busy and

lt ls said of Henry W. Grady, Geor
gia i imperishable son, who among
orators was what tho nightingale is
among birds, that he gave up a splen
did newspaper position in New York
and moved back to Georgia because
no ono living in thc same block could
tell him thc name of tho little girl
who had just died In the apar.meut
above thc one which he occupied for
but a short while. Grady knew
; he rc wa;; a little girl sick in thc apart

he saw tho undertaker's black wagon
back up tb tho curb and receive tho
long cradle-shaped basket brought
from the upartment above with the
little girl's body in it. Ho made in-j,
quiries, almost f-antic inquiries, of all .
tho people HvL . in the block and
not ono of thom ! could tell him who
tile little girl was. That was too much ,
for the great, ? warm, tender, loving!
heart of Grady; and he moved back .
to his f .rm in Georgia, back to thc '

Friend, you aud I shall pass this

we leavo 'behind us an imprint upon

that wo know of is the imprint of love,

love your neighbor as you lovo your

You can never tell what a day's
mull will bring forth. Yesterday wc
necked tn ours the following card:
Gaffney, 8. C., Aug. 13, 1915.
Dear alis:
I am ?lad you aro going after Spar
tanburg a little. You have always
had thr. boat town in the tate, bu/, your
II. K. connections have been poor. Go

and thal! ls the second one with ref
erence to this being the best town In
the State but the railroad connec

Now as for the author of tit? card
exulting over our "going after Spsr
tanburg a little," we are at a loss to
understand what the gentleman
means. We plead "not gutty." and,
furthermore, We have no Intention ot j

On the contrary, we disagree very j

tile sentiment lie expresses townrri I
th?- good city of Spartanburg. We
have always regarded it as the Strong
hold of u broad-minded, intelligent,
cultured and thoroughly delightful
people. In short, we regard iSpar- :
tnnburg as the "Athens of South Car- !
olinu," her splendid educational insti- J
tutlons, powerful churches, her mag-.
nlflclent music festivals, distinguish-{
ed men and women, and her delightful
society entitling her, in our humble
opinion, to that distinction.
No, brother, wo arc not out gun

not using thc hammer on anything
Just for tho Bake of "knocking," and,
to bo perfectly honcBt, we haven't
thc remotest excuse for taking a fling
at our esteemed BlBter city.
ALI J AGAINST CARRANZA.
The most convincing proof that
Gen. Carranza has not made good is
the fact thM the other Latin-Ameri
can nations want to side-track him
In establishing a stable government
In Mexico. The Latin republics have
all . bsd their periods of turbulence,
and- might bo called good Judges of
revolutions. They know how to site
up n revolutionary leader. And with
out apparent exception the Central
and South American countries re
pudiate Carranza. No Judgment the
United States might render could be
so damning as that fact.
Carranza still taiko big, rebukes
our government for meddling with
Mexican affairs at a time of Intoler
able provocation, and expels the rep
resen ta ti ves of La.in-American gov-'
ornments. Secure In his egotism, he
defies thc western hemisphere. Uncle
Sam, at least, has stood about all thc
denying he's going to.
The tj'me has come for action. Tint
ac! lon will bo taken with the coopera
tion ot the Latin republics so far as
possible, and without them if they re
fuse to help when thc final test comes.
Carranza demands that tho revolu
tion bo allowed to "follow its natural
course." Carranza himself has di
verted lt from its natural course, and
turned a successful revolt into com
petitive slaughter and pillage ait the
hands of rival leaders void of patriot
ism. Outside aid Ls needed to give
the Mexican people the logical frultB
of their revolution, and it's up to
Undo Sam to provide that aid In spite
of tho lir?-eatlng 'Vlrst Chief of tho
Constitutionalists."
BUSINESS MEN PHYSICALLY FIT.
The physique of the American busi
ness man has been slandered, If (the
evidence of the New York military
training camp ts any criterion. We
have been told often in recent years
th?', nnr bush? ess men were deterio
rating phystcaly that they were be
coming fat and puffy or ruining to
the opposito extreme of indigestion
and nerves. Tho middle-aged Ameri
can particularly has, been set down os
decadent.
Now, of 1007 business and profes
sional men who presented themselves]
at the New York volunteer camp, only
one fallied to pass th ) medical exami
nation, and 900 wera pronounced flt
to pass the severe tests required by
the regular army.
To appreciate what this means, lt
mus: be remembered that the civilians
examined ranged from 23 to 63 years,
and that their average ago was 8",,
which is tba years more than the av
erage for the regular army. Though
"old" as military age ls reckoned, they
slsed up as well ss the average Amer
ican in hie twenties.
Which seems to show that there are
still brawny and healthy innards back
or American business and profession
al life, and that few of our cRixens
wealthy enough to "Ive softly" are
yet enervated hy luxury.

results of which have been published

Moro than was ever dreamed of in
the magic and mystery of the past the
American people are living through
the reel the wondera of today. Evey
twenty-four hours, yes? every twelve
hours, in fact, ever hour reveals a
starling arrayo ot new Inventions that
ar esimply astounding In their scope
and possibilities. Thc ripe fruitage
pf years of study, Investigation and re
search is being garnered in the patent
omeo at Washington, and the Patent
Office Gazette has contained in one
month as many as three thousand in
ventions. Even a moBt casual review
of this government record is amazinz,
for in its staid official report each
month is reflected the / subtle add
strong undercurrent of initiative gen

In considering the possibilities of,
the submarine in warfare, tremendous
Interest is also taken in the new wire

without coming to the surface.
lt consists of an oscillating device,
by which the sound of the human

miles under water, and by its uso.
the submarine can learn the position
pf an approaching boat. It may bave

it consists of and how lt works, seems
to be a military secret as yet.

damage" to coton is estimated at from
$30,000,000 to $75,000,000 a year, al
most all of wiiiel: could bc saved with
an adequate warehouse system.
When properly stored and insured,
cotton is considered by many to be
one of the very best collaterals that
can be offered upon which to loan
money. Money loaned on cotton stor
ed in such warehouses should com
mand a very low rate of interest. One
of the primary reasons that farmers
and business men have for storing cot
ton, is to enable them to borrow
money upon it until market conditions
Improve.
The correct designing of a cotton
warehouse ls of much Importance be
cause upon the construction of the
warehouse depends the rate of insur
ance charged for the cotton inside it.
The average insurance rate, it is said,
in the buildings now In usc is as high
as $2 a -year on $100. In standard
warehouses, properly protected by
automatic sprinkler equipment, this
rate could be reduced to 25 on $100.
It ts a curious fact, that many of tho
warehouses now in use cost moro to
build than if they had been mado to
conform to tho standards.

Young Griffith had his first picture

the general director returned to the

UNITED STATES P00BLY
EQUIPPED IN AIRCRAFT
Oar Navy Which Boasted Three
Years Afro of. Being the First With
an Aerial Section Is Now One of the
Most Poorly Equipped of the Great
World Power?.
New York, Aug. 13.-Mr. Emerson
McMlllln, tho prominent Wall street
banker, and a life member of the Aero
club of America, who recently contrib
uted $1,000 to the National Aeroplane
fund, has offered sr.0,000 to VncreaBO
the fund of $500,000 in the next BIX
months.
In a letter to Mr. Alan R. Haw
ley, president of the Aero club of
America, Mr. McMlllln emphasises
the necessity of training aviators and
Inducing them to use the most effi
cient aeroplanes and motors available,
having the motors equipped with muf
flers and self-starters. These de
vices are available, but aviators do
not use ?.hem, principally because the
additional weight of the mufflers and
self-starters decrease the speed of the
aeroplane 'by between, two and three
per cent. Mr. McMlllln, however,
points out that the question of silent
or noisy movement in warfare ls a
question of success or failure, there
fore he urges that this matter be giv
en 'thorough consideration in the Im
mediate future.
Our navy, which boasted three
years ago of being the first navy in
the world to have an aviation sec
tion, has, at this time, throe years
later, but five aeroplanes in commis
sion and five more ordered. The half
dozen aviators in the navy who hold
aviator? certificates have had no op
portunity td* gain experience ia recon
noitering have never maneuvered
with a fleet and do not know what
ships and submarines look like from
the air.
i The United States army has a few
more aeroplanes than the navy-but
?half a dosen. But lt also hos very
limited resources. The very aero
drome used as an aviation centre ut
San Diego ls private property, which
I is allowed use through the generos
ity of Mr. John D. tSpreoklea.
I The army aviators have never had
[practice in operating with troops; our
army has no aerial observers; has
never practiced firing with aviators os
"spotters;" tho bulk of officers aud
the rank and file never had an op
portunity of familiarizing themselves
with the aeroplanes. Neither the At
lantic nor Pacific coast defense has
aeroplanes; their big guns hare no
aerial eyes. The Philippine Islands,
Cte Hawaiian islands and the Pana
ma canal have no aerial protection.
SMALL OWLS AND PA BROTS
Graut Park Zoo Has Some of ?ha
Smallest Birds of These Kinds.'
Atlanta, Aug 13.-The Grant Park
soo has some of the smallest owls
and parr?te in the world, tiny beau
tifully colored birds which could
perch on the little finger of a lady's
