Phonographs will be used by both the Republican . and Democratic parties in the ap, proaching presidential campaign, it is [ announced, the plan embracing a pro gram which will permit the residents of small towns and remote hamlets to hear the speeches of eminent orators at the same time that the records are released in large cities. The phonographic campaign will 1 be opened September 1, when records containing, utterances by Attorney ? General Palmer, speaking for the Democrats, and others registering the speech of United States Senator Lodge, voicing the sentiments of the Republicans, will be released. These speeches will be reproduced at clubs societies' headquarters, churches, noonday meetings and in the homes of the party workers. Following the releases of the speeches of Attorney General Pal mer and Senator Lodge, other rec ords will be distributed monthly and it is expected that meeting places and homes throughout the country will echo and reecho with the words of the orators as conveyed by means of talking machines. The extent of the part which phonographs may play in the campaign can be estimat ed by the statement that two manu facturers of the machines are known to have more than 2,000,000 phono graphs in use in the United States. Among the speakers scheduled for phonographic oratory by the Demo cratic national committee are Pres ident Wilson, Secretary of War Ba ker, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ident Wilson, Secretary of War Ba former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and William J. Bryan. Former President Taft, Major General Wood, Elihu Root, Chauncy M. Depew and United States Sena tors Johnson and Borah are on the list of speakers chosen for talking machine oratory by the Republican national committee. Price For Ginning.

Greenville, August 16. (Special) -The circulation of the Baptist Courier, the official organ of the de nomination in South Carolina, was increased virtually 10,000 last week.

Did you give him a smile? He was downcast and blue, And the smile would have helped him to battle it through. Did you give him your hand? He was slipping downhill, And the world, so he fancied was using him ill. Did you give him a word? Did you show him the road? ? Or did you just let him go on with his load? Do you know what it means to be losing the fight, When a lift in time might set every thing right? \ Do you know what it means-just the clasp of a % hand When a man's borne about all a man ought to stand? Did you ask what it was-why the quivering lip? Why the half-suppressed sob, and the scalding tears drip? Were you a brother of his when the time came of need? Did you offer to help him or didn't you heed? -Author unknown. If I could be A silent partner in the work The Lord Himself doth undertake, How wealthy I should be ! For all my treasure then would lie Beneath His own protecting eye. If I could be A silent partner of the Lord, What riches would then life afford! I can indeed, A partner of the dear Lord be, And so can you. If every day I bear a part Of griefs that wring my brother's heart, Of burdens sore they on him lay; [f I can wipe his tears away, " And guide his footsteps when they stray, And point him to the Friend so true, I can, indeed, A partner of the dear Lord be, And so can you.
