C. langston ho community'fWiea a 'good citizen ind the clerks of the various stores md offices of the city a faithful 'ricnd. For more than ii quarter of i century Mr. Langston called upon he proprietor? of th' several busk icsses In Anderson employing clerks md besought them to close their daces during holiday periodB in order hat their employees might onjoy a 'cst from their labora ulong with ither people who observed such oc .uslons as Christmas, Thanksgiving lay, July Fourth, etc. by a cessation rom goneral activities. So long und HO regularly did Mr. jangston interest himself in behalf if the clerks that few If any of them iver thought about starting a move neut among themselves fur certain loliduys ti> be observed or to fix ccr aln hours for closing of doors dur ng th. summer und the winter sim ons. Tlioy learned to depend on Mr. ?ingston to attend to their for them, ind he never failed them. On sev rai occasions those In wose behalf ie Interested himself showed their Lpprcclatlon of his kindness by pre leuting him various gifts, which he irised highly and always took pride n showing his friends. The Intelligencer suggests that as ; mark of respect to this good friend hat the various stores of the city lose their doors for a brief while luring the funeral hours. It need lot be for but a few minutes that heso places bo closed, and it will be i fitting tribute to a friend, true and ried. A WORTHY EXAMPLE Would that Anderson county had wo hundred like Foster L. and Mrs. Irown. Thoir cheque -for 8100, hand ed to a trustee of Anderson College 'esterday, to bo used as a loon fund or worthy young ladles Becking an ducatton, should prove.,the forerun ter of scores more to be used for the arno purpose. "Wo hope to~ seo the day," said one if the trustees yesterday, "when it viii be possible for' any young lady, egardloBs of her finances, to obtain I diploma at Anderson College.'" May ils prayer be: granted. There's no eason nowadays for any worthy boy ir girl who yearns'for a college cdu atlon to go without lt. The contribution from Mr. and Mrs. Irown Is to be lodhcd to any young ady who1 desires to borrow money to lelp pay her way through college. Rie ls to pay the'money 'back: when me can, and lt te to bo loaned again lo another, and so .on...(; j?npm> This is f\r better than giving one i sum of money to help pay his or tor expenses through oottasja? Money hat is a mere gift or easily acquired B pretty apt to go tho sarnie way. The 'oimg lady who borrows her money o go through college with, knowing hat she will have to pay it back Out if bor earnings after she leaves col ego, will bradly squander IL She will nake lt go _s far ns possible. It will :lvo hor a feeling of independence athcr than ono of dependence. Col eges throughout tho country have tegun to learn this and more and nore various boards and other bone actors are doing away with the prac leo of helping struggling college itudonts by giving them money to lelp pay their expenses, but aro lcnd ng them the money and taking their totes, these to be redeemod within a reasonable length of time after tho itudents have' loft college and gono o work for themselves. ' THE TIRED BELT T:,o Rockefeller Foundation's hook worm report reveals the amazing ex ent to which thia plague has infect ed tho human race. We have become amlltar with the fact that lt la pr? vient in Borne of our southern states, ind is found In the tropics generally; mt few persons have realised that he disease ia prevalent In countries :ontalning more than half the peo >le In the world. According to t:he experts who hare >een Investigating tn many landa, the lookworm belt circles the globe tn a tono about 68 degrees ' wide, extend ng roughly from parallel 86 degrees ?crth to parallel 30 degrees south. r*he number of persons actually af fected ls, of .-ourse, impossible to de termine; but there are about 800,000 people Uv|ng In tho plague-ridden jountrlea; and the number of victims certainly runs Into the hundreis of r.iili'.r.:;-. y. .''fl.'-V. It is no longer any question timi the recognised backwardness of trop ical races la due largely, perhaps primarily, to this parasite which de stroys human ambition and progress by sapping Its victims' vitality The traditioril "laziness* of tropical peo ples ts really a chronic tiredness, due to diseuse which In most countries ls l nt i JI unrecognized. < The tropic heat doesn't necessarily i produce indolence, as our own Pana- i ma Canal workers have proved. Two 1 contributing causes of that indolence, j yellow fever and malaria, have al ready been eliminated in enlightened communities by the elimination of tho i diueaHe-bearing mosquito. It now re- I mains to eliminate thc last and great- 1 eut cause, the hookworm. I There ls no doubt that this enemy : of mankind can he defeated. In our i own southern states great progress ? has been made, both in curing victims i and in teaching tile natives how to t avoid contracting the disease. The sume remedial and preventive meas ures will be extended, before long, to i all the countries affected, or at least \ to ali the civilized countries. c Eventually, then, we muy see the 1 traditionally "dlsease-rllden tropics" < as healthful as the temperate zone, and countries i;ow unprogressive or j uninhabitable may become the seats - of a great und vigorous civilization. ? Tili; B?MPEH LAW CROP A Kansas man. asserting that over productlon of laws is ruining tho country, gives these illuminating ex amples of what he calls superfluous legislation In lils own state: First-Kansas, although a prohibi tion state, has a law prohibiting the eating of snakes. Second-He once bet a Kant as City friend 1100 that the friend couldn't go six hours without breaking a law. Tho latter took him up. and went to bed. When he finished his nap and came around to collect the 9100, ho was arrested for sleeping under a phcet less than nine feet lorp. These facts seem to provo the case, for Kansas at least. As for tho legis lative output in other states-just ask any lawyer who tries to keep track of it. A LINE o' DOPE Wea?.cr Forecast:-Partly cloudy with somewhat lower temperature Wednesday; Thursday local rains. Some girl in Anderson county is to be made happy. Yesterday morning Mr. and Mrs. Foster L. Brown of the northern sec tion of the county came to Anderson and went to the office of ono of the trustees of Anderson college. They stated that they would Uko to give |100 to the institution, this mc (.r to be borrowed by some deserving young lady who wishes to at tond school but who is unable to raise money for her expenses. The young lady who is for tunate enough to borrow the money .will pay lt back when not in school and in thia way it will be put to the credit of the loan fund of the col loge another year. Mr. and Mrs. Brown's 1 act is a worthy ono and is ono that is appreciated by the college authori ties. At the opening exercises of Ander son college two weeks ago President Ktnard stated that he would be glad if somo of those who havo money would offer it to be loaned to some de serving young lady wishing to obtain' an education in tho Anderson insti tution and tho act of Mr. and Mrs. Brown y es tor day waa more than ho had asked for. -o On Friday Mr. W. R. Osborne, for merly member of the firm of Osborne ft Pearson, will open' up an office above Evana Pharmacy No. 2, he hav ing announced through The Intelli gencer about a month ago that . he would engage In the real estate and Insurance business. Mr. fhilorne will bo connected with the Mutual.Bene fit Life Insurance company and it ia predicted that he will do much busi ness. He la one of the most widely known men in Anderson county and is possessed with keen business abil ity. Gilbert C. White, the consulting en gineer ot Charlotte, expressed himself as being very much pleased with Ute paving in Anderson yesterday after noon while Tiding over MoDnffle, Church-and Calhoun streets in com pany with the members of the paving commission. "I like asphalt paving." statid Mr. White; "It serves the purpose and lasts mighty well. Asphalt paving on Vermont avenue in Washington, D. C., has stood the test for 39 years and I think ls the oldest la Ute country. "I notice plenty of horseshoe prints In this paving but that softness ls a very desirable quality. The paving* being sbft and plastic will not crack and all those prints will iron out. "Paring le just like Ute smallpox, too; lt is contagious. Before long' Hie residents on tho other street? not sffocted by these permanent improve ments, will be anxious to have their icctioni* paved and you fellows in a few years will have one of the best paved streets In the country." Monday the Southern Paving com pany, which has the contract for do ng the work in this city, will submit dds for ?0,000 square yards of pav ng to bo done at Kingston, N. C. Mayor Godfrey told Supt. Sraney yes erday afternoon that his company :ould depend on the city's endorse ment of their grade of work at any lui e. -o Tito following is taken from a let ter received by Mr. Furman Smith, lie seedsman, from a large seed con cern In the north and is especially interesting right at this time of the ?.car : "We are glad to sec tho south plac ng herself in position to feed herself -by diversifying crops. Ycu of tho south have come to appreciate the words of warning spoken by that far seeing .humanitarian and statesman, Henry W. Grady of Georgia, nearly forty years ago. With the splendid loll and long season in the south, far mers ena produce anything and every thing in the food line that can be produced In the north, and many crops Lhat cannot be grown there. Gov. Hayes, of Arkansas, the Little Rock chamber of commerce and the state agricultural department of Arkansas investigated and proved that Arkan sas was sending seventy-five millions 3f dollars out of the state annually Lo purchase food products, and this amounted to eleven millions of dol lars moro than the Arkansas cotton crop brought in 1913. This tells its }wii story. Other southern states have made the same comparative mistake. Cotton as an exclusive crop never paid tiie south. It has kept thousand.1; poor where it made one rich." --o Mr. C. D. Sexton, manager of the Columbia Tailoring company, Colum bia. ls in the city for the purpose of lssisting the local munager, Mr. Key, In moving from Weat Whltner street around to the new Watson building m North Main street. He will remain ID the city several days. Mr. Sexton .nya it has been B?veral years since Lie was In Anderson and he would tiardly know the plato on account of the many changes that have taken place. He ls delighted with the pav ing that s going on fiore and says lt speaks well for any city twlc: or Lhree times the sise ot Anderson. ? The Anderson Cash Grocery com pany ls painting the front of its pop alar grocery with white. It looks very neat, clean and inviting. It's a pity that more grocers and meat markets dont paint their places of business with the same color of paint. White paint appeals to the public when the place Is also kept clean and white to match the color of the paint. This ls particularly, true of a grocery pr meat market. -o At last tho machinery at the rock Quarry near Williamston has been put In running Hbapp and crushed stone ts being supplied to the paving con tractors In this city.

About 25 years ago there was nn Impromptu gathering of a few con genial spirits in Chicago. Eugene Fields, Stanley Waterloo, Charley Taylor abd Will Vischer were there. The ilrst two are dead. Taylor ts oh the pension list of The Chicago Trib une-he waa a protege of Bob Bur dette-and "Visen" 1B, or was at last reports* sunning himself on a couch Ul the Chicago Press Club. At this meet the question was sprung: What ls tho best humanly humorous poem of the day? Stanley Waterloo pulled a clipping from his pocket and read the following: "Tho death angel smote Alexander McClure And gave him protracted repose. He wore a checked shirt and a No. 9 ahoe. . And he had a plait , wart on hts note. No doubt he ls happier dwelling In space Over there on the ?vergreen Shore. His mends are informed that nts funeral takes placo Precisl?y at quarter past four." The coterie agreed that it was the best combination of humor and pathos that had appeared. 7i it wore sent in now, lt would be sent back with the regrets that accompany all rejections.

Aug. 19.-(As toclatcd Press Correspondence. ) - Vtuericun missionaries hero are some vhat disturbed over reports iron? thc fnlted States thut apprehension ex sta there as to the future of Oi.rts ianity In Japan. This apprehension s said to be the outgrowth of tho lew achool regulations In Korea ibout which, the missionaries think, onie misleading private reports have leen sent to t ie I'nit cd States. The situation led the mission ot ho Methodist Episcopal church to told a special meeting here under he chairmanship of Bishop Merriown I. Harris. At this meeting it wu?; roted to draw up aud send to b'M ionio church u detailed report of the txact conditions. A copy of tho re M>rt, which was written by Dean Ar hur I). Berry of the theological dc jarlment of the Auyama school nt Tokio, has been banded to the cor espondent of the Associated Press, t is most optimistic In tone and cou ends that contrary to any idea of estrlctlng the teaching of Christian l y, the Japanese government contcni ilates the extension of privileges al eady grunted. Among other things, he statement emphasizes the propre:? nade on a project to found a Orrls :lon university at Tokio-a project hat is engaging thc attention of all eadlng American and . Japnnese Christians. As indicating -erroneous opinion iu lome quarters of thc I'nitod States, he report cites an affirmation in' a :hurch piper that "the open door" 'or Protestant missionary endeavor n Japan i?* fast closing." lu the first place, the report points nit that the new regulations affect ''.ie schools in Korea only and not hose of Japan proper. The esscuce o tho regulations 1B that tho prlvuto icbools, including the mission schools, tro required to conform in grade and urriculum with the government .chools. Thc effect of thia will be he same as tho effect of old-time similar regulations-that i3, it will lft the mission schools to a higher evel and compel thom to stay there, ays Dr. 3erry. The prohibition of all religious in trudion and worship in the schools teems serious, but the report em ihasizcs that the rules apply equally o all private schools. They are tot directed solely at the Christian scihtools. Furthermore, Shintoism ancestor worship) ls not to be sub mitted for Christianity in the chools. The regulations do not ap tly to colleges or theological schools, .ntl religious worship and instruction nay be carried on outside . regular chool hours. The commltee hinks that at the end if the two years allowed for com iliance with the new order or things, he schools in Korea may come nuder he department of education at Tokio md there obtain the same freedom ind privileges enjoyed by the privat2 loiiools in Japan proper. It ro.com nenda that the Korean schools corn ily "with all the other regulations ind then walt in patience and pray hat the evil day of prohibition of , eligious instruction may not como." The report emphasizes that there is J lerfect religious freedom in Christian ducat ion work in Jopan proper. This a acquired by accepting a special government classification which vhile signifying loss of certain chool rights entails tho loss of notti ng that is fundamental. But even .;? difference in classification, it is 1 led are d, has come to be almost en- ' irely nominal. "Our big prosperous Christian * chools," writes Dean Berry, "which * ire crowded with students and in \ vb ich there is required chapel wor- j hip and in which tue Biblo ls a text *? took and which aro openly and* ag- n' ;rcssdvely Christian In atmosphere - ind activity-these are tho most con- * lusive proof of the fact that there a religious freedom in educational ' vork in Japan. And tills perfect re- * iglous freedom is not threatened 1 r*.?m any quarter whatever. Th? at 1 tnde of the government of Japan c oward religion should be Judged by 1 he way it treats Christian work in 1 apan itself and not by tho excep tons; atitude taken under exception- 1 d circumstances by the governor gen- I ral In Korea. - J "More than that," the report con- . inues, "tie department of education md a commission of parliament, are ' :onsldering new regulations which elli vitally effect tho whole ?

Paris, Sept. 28.-Word from Cham pagae, and beyond Chalone reaching Paris shows that lt was the German crown prince's army which waa shat tered in Gie attacks of Friday and Saturday. The crown prince's cen ter made furious efforts to counter In the Argounc yesterday with the result that all Gio railway lines cast and north, according to French in formation were engaged last night' carrying away the German wounded'. French officers reckon' that this army 'lost-a .hundred thousand men during this attack and -rpr?vto?s as saults during Gie summer. The crown prince has been sending two divisions of about forty thousand men! at a time against the French. These bat tles, each equal in importance to great battles of history have ".been dismissed hitherto, with brief men tion in the French official reports be cause oho results wero only nega tive.
