A Now Hampshire minister wot Id Lave the promise tu luve eliminated from the marriage vow. There are so many eases where it is impossible for either party to perform what tiny promise that he thinks they should not undertake too mueh. Out in Missouri the war on tipping the hotel waiters is growing. It is proposed to make it a crime to tip one. We are sorry for the guests of the hotels out there when this becomes a law. It will be ? choice between a fine or an empty stomach. A big crop of cotton this year means four cents cotton next fall. The wisest thing for the farmers to do is to reduce their cotton acre age from Ii."? to 33 per cent this year. If they will do this we will guarantee ten cent cotton next fall. Congress will close ncr.t Saturday. It is announced that there will be an extra session in the early fall if the present session doesn't give the Presi dent what he wants. Like the small boy after the bumblebee, when the President is looking for trouble he is never happy until ho gets it. The new Governor of Indiana has refused a railroad pass; and the new Governor of North Carolina an in crease in salarj ! Taken in connec tion with the discovery of the sixth satellite of .Jupiter, and various other signs and omens, it would seem from this that tiie millcniuni in near. Did you every stop to think how much of your valuable time is taken up by people who have nothing to say that will either interest or bene fit you? There uro lots of such peo ple in the world, au^ they have uo conception of the value of some one else's time. It is a miserable form of selGshnoss. -mm? ?> m The bill introduced in the United States Senate, designed to break up dealing in futures, is attracting a great deal of attention all over the country. It is certainly a bill that goes to the very heart of the matter, and if it iu passed thero will be a revolution to many lines of business. Cotton, wheat, corn, etc., will feel the'effect of the bill. _ It is the hope of seventy or eighty million Americanb that Mr. Roose velt who has gone loping after it, wili prooeed to rope, throw and brand the Beef Trust. But it is soaroely the belief of anybody that he oan. The circumstances surrounding snob an at tempt, granting absolutely that it is made in good faith, almost preclude the possibility. Russia is apparently getting tired ui fighting the strikers at home and the Japs abroad. She oan handle tho strikers, even if an oooaeional bomb does land fatally, but she wants a way to get out of the Japanese olutoh and at the same time save her face. It is rumored that peace may be declared v~'-:o^ between the two nations in the near ' Mature. i I .j Hereafter the American navy will bo American in fact as well as in Iname. An order has been issued that no more aliens arc to be enlisted. Applicants must bo native-horn or naturalized Americans. Thoy must bo able to read and write English and . . jmust know something about this coun ??^*''"'try. Tho enforcement of tho order will put in defense of tho flag on the Beas those only who love it. In a strong appeal, which he is send ing to farmers and business moo all over tho South, President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton As sociation, is urging the farmers to hold their cotton, assuring them that 4 victory is within their grasp. Con ( tracts, he says, cannot be filled if tho farmers will not weaken now. "Hold your*" cotton, and they will be forced to pay you 10 cents u pound for it." The recent suggestion of a Kansas milling company that the troubles of the Southern planters could be cor rected to a huge extent by the more general use of cotton bagging for Southern products, is being generally discussed and many business'men en dorse the idea. It depends, of oourse, .upon the farmers whether they will use ootton covers instead of jute for their cotton'bales and many uses to whioh the proposed new wrapper could be put. Bven with the pro ducts which the farmers do not origi nate, they could secure tho us? of cot ton wrappers by insisting upon re ceiving those foroiao products only in ; ootton oovers. V - In this way the* would be creating a demand for ' their Nqwo staple and .maintain .the pri?e Many ??tii? Bisou ready to make a stouter cotton wrapping. o)oth if the '*> : demand iy only created, and the cost will bf Jittle, if any, higher to the farmers. Col. K. liarnwell Hhott died at his home iti Uuutsville, Ala., on the 21st inst., after a long illness. Col. Kliett was a Confederate Veteran, and after tho close of the civil war was for sev eral years editor of the Charleston 'Mercury and afterwards of the New Orleans Picayune, and late of the Journal of Commerce of Charleston, lie has nt8ny old friends throughout South Carolina who regret to hear of his death. A Successful livangclist, The ii lends of Kev. H.

C. O. McCullough, assisted by Kev. II. Cr. Scudday, conference evangelist ot tho Cincinnati, U., conference. The ser vices during the past week have been very interesting and profitable and much good has been accomplished. Kev. .Scudday will Hike tor bis morn ing theme today, "The Greatest Thing in the World;" In the afternoon ser vice at :J o'clock lie will speak of. "Ear Marks of tho New Life," and in tho evening at 7:80 his subject will be "The Lost .Sheep.'' The song and praise service will bo observed as usual at7 o'clock. All are invited to attend and the young people are especially asked to be present. Kev. .Scudday is an earnest worker ami a forceful speaker ami his sermons have been tho source ot much favor able comment. His past life is one filled with pleas ing incidents and his success in life is duo to his own dibits, and coming as he does from tint ranks of tho business and political multitudes into the min istry bis addresses are always tilled with just enough of the practical and every day side of life to make them both interesting and easily digested. In the pulpit lie is eloquent and earnest and as a man in every day life he is congenial and pleasant. Kev. Scudday was horn near the little village of Lowndesville, Abbeville Co., rt. C, near Smyrna Chinch, where ho attended Sabbath School and heard the gospel preached. At the ago of IV he entered a law oilice of a widely known lawyer and after two years of diligent study was admitted to the bar and located at Anderson, S. C, where ho met with much success and made a reputation as a criminal lawyer. At the age of 22 he was elected as a rep resentative to the Legislature and ser ved in this capacity lor four years, lie took a most active part in the af fairs of tho House and gained wide spread repute as a speaker. It was while in tho midst ol political affairs that he became convinced that as yet he had not entered upon his life work, and with this sense of conviction n short time later, he began to piepnre for the ministry and took a charge at Darlington, S. C. After successful service here he went to TexnH and till ed pulpits nt Marshall, Palestine and Long View.

Yes, lictle "Observer," we are pretty hard to please in a teacher nn? am glad of is. if we pay for a good article that is what we want, but we are aorry to say we have some people that are satisfied with anything, that iaif tbey know it don't suit their neigh bors. Glad we are not that way. Now little "Observer," remember this as yon go over the rugged plains of old Triangle. We are truly glad to know that Triangle has an "Observ er." Hope you will stop and think we had a little political meeting at Tri angle the c mer day. You ought to get the mir. ates nnd rend them. They will learn you something. Brace up, little "Observer," and come again. We are not half done. We will give you that little meeting next time. If you want to see some fine pigs just step over to M. M. Campbell's. He has some that weigh 12 pounds at two weeks old. Farmer. Burgess Bridge News. A story is told of three of our school boys who deeided last week that they would sue some of the world. Thev started north with their lunch, and coming to the railroad, in Greenville County, decided they would follow it and return home. But having become bewildered they took the wrong end and arrived nt Grove Station. They camped out one n'ght nnd returned to Williamston, where one of them earn ed four cents chopping wood. With this they bought apples. We guess their mothers' bread and milk tasted better that night than ever before and that they are wiser boys. v The Sunday School and prayer-meet- i ingat Whitefield were well attended yeaterday.
