r - ^--IIK W1 Now About Ready to Wake Up the Country, , Leslie's Weekly. The South has carried oft the i prizes lu Congress. The chairman- ( ships of the leading committees of the senate and of the house have 1 gone to members from the South. i Why not? This Is a Democratic i administration the South has been i the anchor and the hope of the Democratic party ever since the close i of the War Between the States. More than this, the South has < given to the nation some of its great- I est Presidents, its ablest statesmen. I I its deepest thinkers. I No part of the country is richer in natural resources than what we < call "The South." The greatest fu- 1 ture development of the nation, In l a material way, will be In the South- I . em states. We predict also that the I greatest industrial growth of the i ~ country will be In the South. I Its cotton mills, iron foundries, collieries and lumber and sugar mills i art established on a basis that 20 i years ago would have been thought \ to be almost Impossible. For more than twenty-five years ? the advantages to our great trade i offered by the ports on the gulf and i on the South Atlantic were loudly proclaimed and went unheeded, but i today the tide of exports Is running toward the South and establishing < Its superb harbors as commercial i centers of the first rank. i Commodities always seek the short haul for economic reasons and obviously the short hauls from the wheat and corn fields of the West, the cotton fields of the South and the oil fields of Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas are the Southern ports. The South is no longer an advocate of unrestricted free trade, as It was before the war. Its astonishing Industrial sentiment among its thoughtful people is in favor of fair and adequate protection to Southern industrial agricultural and commercial interests. It is not surprising that some of the strongest advocates of a moderate protective tarff in Congress came from the Southern states. They will be many more of them before long. Give the South fair play and a fighting chance and It will wake the ^ nation up. So Near and Vet so Far. Columbia Record. "A little learning la a dangerous thing, Drnk deep, or tlouch not the Plerlaan spring," ?ang the poet; and the illustration of the truth of this admonition is frequently brought home to us In a journalistic sense when a contemporary at a distance undertakes to discuss local conditions of which It has only a smattering knowledge. The amount and Ingenuity of the misinformation in the following extract from an editorial in The Tampa Times can only be appreciated and enjoyed by those familiar with the facts. The Times says: "South Carolina's governor has ( been very quiet?for him?for bulte ( a while; but he has broken out again, this time in a mlxup with the editors. Some little time ago it was reported that the governor was in the habit of playing a modest game of poker. Some of the newspaper men put up a job to catch him, but it was not successful. When those who were set to catch his excellency got to the place where he was supposed to be it was discovered that he was slumbering more or less , sweetly on his virtuous couch, and the catchers were crest-fallen. .* "The governor was very wroth at me editors ana swore vengeance at the first opportunty. The opportu- , nity has come. The press assocla- , tlon of the state will assemble soon 1 at Charleston and they will expect , to have the usual good time. Now Charleston Is dry and the sale of , drinks Is prohibited there. Rut there ; le a pleasure resort Just across the , bay in the jungles of which blind tigers are supposed to lurk and it Is expected that the editors, being fond of sport, will essay to hunt i those tigers and to track them to their lairs." We forbear to point out how near and yet how far the above is from ' the real facts, as much of the humor of it would be lost in the telling. ".Service" Their Motto. Columbia Record. "Service, the debt of education." the motto Vlrsinln women have adopted, clearly expresses the spirit and purpose of the General Federa- : tion of Women's Clubs. Education, giving a broader out- ' look and keener realization of the needs prevalent, impels activity in ! welfare work. Thus, it naturally follows, that the State Federation, representing upwards of 6,000 edu- ; cated women, is working to pay this Implied debt of public service. Since the recent amendment to the constitution men and women alike are eligible to federation membership. Men and women, therefore, may now unite as members of this one powerful organization in working for this end?to serve others. Convincing proof that the men realize tne far-reaching Influence of the federation in the fart that u/hen the initial Conference for Common Good was called in Columbia Mrs. M. T. Coleman, of Abbeville, state president, was invited to attend. She, as the chosen representative of the federation, was elected a member of the board of directors of this great movement and it is felt that her inf^/nnce will be of untold value. fis??nce is thus given that, with *(Xgl<wW of thought and unity of tuirpM Yien and women will hencefortW together as one. They * imp.. * of co-ope raJlftion^ upheld ll*the courage of con\1flt*cton, fired bv^mutual enthuslasui, will dovote their united energies toward the advancement of a common cause. a / WO The Weakness of Cursing 1111 < By I>r. Frank Crane. I Mp We may be permitted to doubt whether it has ever done much good to tell men how bad they are. Scolding, fault-tlnding, satire, rony, lampooning, exposing, cursing nil ind condemning are all interesting ind easy. Everybody seems born dre .vitli a knack for this sort of thing. But the whole business is a business of weakness, not of strength. Swearing is a symptom of a lack jf proper vocabulary. A man is pro- bro fane because he has not the power to express his feelings with satisfactory force in good English. A woman scolds because she ba Joesn't know enough to get her own way by diplomacy and love. It is the woman who is impotent to con- th trol her child that hectors him. It Is the consciousness of her lack of proper influence over her husband tro that causes her to nag him. Complaint is the language of fail- ve uro. It is the utterance of self-nitv. and self-pity is the effort of a con- ' temptible spirit to attract attention. dri The only trade in which a failure A fan be successful is fault-finding. In S'Z( that occupation the less your ability " the sharper your triumph. an( There are two kinds of critics, in- >'es terpretive and destructive. The ' former seek to help the reader un- ' derstand the author; such are rare, * some of them are great. The latter seem to regard every work as a challenge, they attack it with all the airs and poses of jealous egotism; such ' nre plentiful, all of them are small l)ri The gltbness of cursing is fatal. There are two kinds of prophets and ' ; preachers. One kind berate the peo- I pie fpr their wickedness; the other ^v,( helps the people to discover their j goodness. The former draws crowds. The latter helps along. Jeremiah has a deal more to say in inn mme man Jesus. Jeremiah ] 1 was the forerunner of downfall. | Jesus the redeemer of the world. |to The majesty of Jesus lay in His oc* amazing power of seeing good in I everybody?except Pharisees. To ! my mind there was nothing recorded that Jesus ever did that is great- : er than His action toward the wo- ^ man taken in adultery; where He r'e simply declined to curse her (what an opportunity where the orthodox moralist thinks He missed) and said; "Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more." Says Goethe: "When 1 have called bad bad, how much is gained by thof? TKA 1-1 ? vti?% . a aid man will?

The Country Church. C. Hodgepeth, In The Baptist Courier. We often hear people talk about y problems, and the problems at confront our mill churches, id our city and mill churches are clng great problems?problems at are serious, too. But it strikes i that the country church Is fac5 even a greater problem, and a oblem that is constantly growing irse?and the more It grows the >re it effects all other problems. All of us know that the ''country urch" is not the power it was a If century ago. True the churchhold protracted meetings during e summer months, but In most i ses they are only "protracted jetlngR" sure enough. Now what the trouble? I believe that It Is Iflshness and inefficiency. This is a progressive age.

The Baltimore Sun tells of such an one: "Old St. Paul's Protestant Epsicopal church was the scene at 7 ( o'clock last evening of what is believed to be the first "eugenic wed- ' ding" in this state, when Miss Mary Buchanan Albert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

"The contracting parties are representatives of two of the most prom- j inent families In. Maryland, ami the assemblage which witnessed the , ceremony was fashionable.
