AND A TABLE, AND A STOOL. AND A CANDLESTICK: AND IT SHALL BE. WHEN HE COMETH TO US, THAT HE SHALL TURN IN THITHER."-2 KINGS 4-10. Not much of a "text" for a Sunday morning editorial, you may say. Yea, a good text, In fact, a splendid one. And in the hands of one who could do it Justice, u lasting thought might be worked out of it But before con sidering the "text" let us read a few verses thaii go before and one that comes after the tenth verse of the fourth chapter of .Second Kings. 8. AND IT FELL ON A DAY, THAT ELISHA PASSED TO SHUNEM, WHERE WAS A GREAT WOMAN; AND SHE CONSTRAINED HIM TO EAT BREAD. AND SO IT WAS, THAT AS OFT A8 HE PASSED BY, HE TURNED IN THITHER. TO EAT r..^AD. 9. AND SHE SAID UNTO HER HUSBAND. BEHOLD NOW, I PKRCIEVB THAT THIS IS AN HOLY MAN OF GOD. WHICH PASSETH BY US CONTINUAL LY. 10. LET US MAKE A LITTLE CHAufBER, I PRAY THEE, ON THE WALL; AND LET US SET FOR HIM THERE A BED, AND A TABLE, AND A STOOL, AND A CANDLESTICK; AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN HE COMETH TO VE. THAT HE SHALL TURN IN THITHER. 11. AND IT FELL ON A DAY, THAT HE CAME* THITHER, AND HE TURNED INTO THE CHAM BER, AND LAY THERE. Two things arrest attention In this narrative of the disciple and suecos sor of Elijah, ono the fact that the woman at whose house he stopped had observed that he was an "holy man of God" and the other the fact that sho prepared for tho prophet a little room with the simplest and tho plainest of adornments-a bod, a table, a B' ool and a candlestick. Thli:k ot Utting up a room for the reception of the renowned prophet with nothing In lt hut a bod, a table, a stool and a candlestick. Suppose j you wera expecting a great and a Godly man-a man ot Elisha's calibre -to come to Anderson to be your guest. He would bo about tho biggest man that over cam? to Anderson, and the most distinguished guest you had over entertained or ever would have finder your roof. Wouldn't you give him the bent room in your house, the nlcost furnished chamber in y your home, and wouldn't you be tacking on th's frills and furbelows In anticipa tion of his coming long before he ar rived? Or would you fix up for your guest a very small room, and place therein only a bed. a table, a stool and a candlestick? Wo believe that most people would prepare for the re ception ot their distinguished guest along the more elaborate lines. Dut there must have been some rea son for tho great woman of Shunem preparing for Elisha's reception a lit tle chamber so simply and poorly furnished. If you will observe, she suggested the plan to her husband In such a way that one might think she was tempting the good man Elisha to stop at her houso-yes, tempting him by preparing for him on the wall a "little chamber" with very simple furnishings J.n lt, merely a bed in which to sleep, a stool on which to sit, a table and a candlestick. What was the secret, do you think, of that -mall, plain and simply furnished lit tle room. We think, the secret of lt ls found tn the?words of-tho woman when sho speke thus to her husband concerning Elisha: "I pr relevo that this ls an holy man of God." "Aa holy man of dei.* Why did the woman, pe rc having that Elisha was "an holy man ot God." prepare for his reception such a plain little room with such common fur nishings? She waa a woman of un usual refinement and education, or at least we infer'that from a perusal of the Scriptures. But If she waa not that, she was a woman of good common seas? in an unusual degree; for ob serving that Elisha waa "an holy man ot God," she prepared for him the class ot room that she did. Th? lesson we draw from that la that the "holy man of God," the edu cated man, the man ot refined tastes, like Elisha, ts a man who caree but little tor the glitter, and the tinsel, and the chem *nd the luxuries of the world. Elisha waa aa holy maa of God; Elisha was a scholar; he was a ruin of refinement, and a man who pet his heart and hts mind on higher things thea this world's cheap trinkets and fleeting pleasures. Be ing all of thia, Ho was a man of aimplo .tastes. A table on which to lay his scroll, a candlestick to give bim light at night by which to read, a stool on which to' sit, and a bed lo which to sleep was all that Elisha cared for. His tastes were simple, end In that little room on the wall of the Shunam mite's house, with its homely fur nishings, he was perfectly contented and perfectly at home. He was com fortable, he was happy. Who are the people today who spend money most lavishly on lux uries. Who arc the people who must be continually on thc go, flitting about the world's centers of luxury, and ex travagance, finery and hollow amuse ments, madly In search of co?tent mont? Aren't they the people of much wealth, but of little Godliness and with little or none of thc scholarly, and little of hard, common sense about them? Think of the Godliest man or wo man you know; think of thc best edu cated man or woman you know; think of the most sensible man or woman vou know in the community. As a rulo, ls he or she along the line of Elisha-simple ,n hit or her taBtes, easily saMr-S^d in thc matter of bodily luxuries, one who could be set down in the midst of a bare little room, like Elisbe's, and be contented? Or ls be or she given to criminal extrava gance, "loud" in their tastcB, human "hogs" in the matter of a soft placo in which to wallow, the 'costliest foods, the most expensive of things to drink, and the highest priced of other transitory baubles of lifo? To our way of thinking, thc badge of "an holy man of God," of the scholar, of tho man of real refine ment and of the man of common sense, is the man who ls simple in his tastes, as Elisha was simple in his, tho man who could be placed In tho surroundings In wh'ch Elisha found himself at tho iShunammlte's house, and be contented, at home, happy or whatever else you might wish to call it. WI BE LE SS TELEPHONY Wireless telephony ls a fact. It has been established lo so amazing a fashion that it is hard lo grasp thu wonder of it, to express even a tithe of its potentialities. Sitting in his of fice in New York, Thoedore N. Vail, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company has carried cn a conversation by "wireless" with John J. Carty, the chief engineer ol his corporation, who responded from M. re Island In San Francisco Bay. Over 2,500 miles of desert, plain, valley, lake, river and mountain, flashing over roaring cities, uncon scious villages and muttering forests, Vail's voice reached across a conti nent with no visible means of trans mission. This is the latest dazzling gift that Science has wrested from Naturo's storehouse for the use of man. What does it mean? How is lt going tc affect us in our ordinary relations ol lite and In our endless struggle, for ward towards a fuller, more complete, happier existence? All that lt will mean one cannot venture to say, but there is one big, pregnant meaning that thrusts Usc!; forward and seises the imagioatlon: Wireless telephony has removed for ever earth'a frontier; it has given a voice to th* hitherto silent vastnesses ot the Arctic and Antarctic; it has linked civilisation with the remotest parts of the earth, the ocean wastes the desert sands, the mountain peak, the Jungle depth. Those hardy souk Whose spirit urges them into nature'? mqst hidden fastnesses need nevei now be out of touch of the voices ol their fellows to cheer them forward, shore their discoveries, respond tc their criss for aid. The Inventors ol fireless telephony declare they can scud the human voice to places where so .wire could ever reach-that th? sailor In mldocean, the explorer ic equatorial Africa, the adventurer ot the Himalayan slopes can by the heir ot a comparatively simple apparatus communicate directly with his tellowi in the centers of civilisation. Wireless telephony has enormouslj narrowed the bounds of the work and to the same degree has broad ened the fellowship of man. That ti tts supreme accomplishment taken li tts broadest sense. It ls anothei shattering blow at the misconceptions sill; Jealousies, stiller prejudices anc silliest hatred* that artificial barden have bred among men. It ls anothei step forward toward r?alisation ol that unfading dream of a day whee we will blot the word "foreigner* from our dictionaries and "stranger* from our hearts. MAPLES FOB MONUMENTS A happy suggestion aaa been rfcad* tor the marking of the graves of Ca bad tan soldiers who fall Ia the wai and are burled la a foreign land Since the maple la the national tret of Canada, lt td proposed that maples j shall be planted In France and Del glum on every Canadian grave and j along the roads leading to the mili tary cemeteries. Millions of maple seeds have already been sent to] Franc: for this purpose. A young English poet who fell in battle at the Dardanelles won pos thumous fame by a beautiful sonnet in which he declared that if lie died in that allen land, his grave would be "one spot of foreign earth that ls for ever England." If this plan is car- j ried out, lt will mean that every rest ing place of a Dominion soldier on the J European battleground will be "for ever Canada." Weather Fore ..oat-Fair Sunday j and Monday. Agont Johnson ot the Southern Ex press Company stated yesterday that he bed one of the hardest packages of express to handle one day last week that he ever had anything to do with. It was a cow, a real Ure full blooded Jersey cow, sent from Clemson Col lege to Mr. W. R. Lewis at Iva. "That cow came in from Seneca late one afternoon," stated Mr. John son, "and we had to lead ber down the track to Brlssey's lamber yard to get her up from the depot We put her in the barn that night and the next day we had to drive her down to the C. & W. C. depot The crate was trucked down and she was nailed back up in lt. She was put on the train, and I trust reached her destina tion in peace." Sheriff Ashley stated last night up on his return from Greenville that Sheriff Rector's picnic and barbecue was a grand success, about 1,500 peo ple being there for dinner. Owing to tho fact that ho hod been called to Washington, Mr. John L. McLaurln could not bo present Mr. Blease was there, however, and made an address to a large crowd. -o Oscar Ferguson, a little ll year old boy of Autun, was' accldently shot yesterday afternoon while handling a 15 calibre Colts pistol. The bullet st ru ok the boy in his chin and rang ed around the lower left jawbone, breaking it in several places. He was j brought to the county hospital and was said to bo resting woll last night From what could be learned lt scorns that Oscar was showing the pistol to a little friend and that In putting lt up was knocked against something, causing lt to Ore.

He's the fellow oth ers follow. He's the one that so often hears the question-"Where did you buy that suit?" That's why we want to please him, that's why we go to such infinite pains to see that every suit, every overcoat we sell is right up to the second in style, both of quality and fabrics. Then, too, the average young man is an expert on value-so to get and keep the trade of the young men we have gone the limit in value giving.

Charlie is one of the best men Clemson has and tho Anderson people were es pecially anxious to see him in the game.
