The way in which a man spends his Thanksgiving or Christmas may show if he is a Scrooge or a Cheeryble. Too many people are not earnest enough about their work. AH they ?tre for is to get the work done eas ily and cheaply. The result cf :t all is cheap work and cheap men. It may be true that Vis price or neat and other household commod ities has dropped, but in many pieces the drop seems to have been arrest ed before it ?ot down to *ae ern annter. Some people go through tne worl I cm crutches instead of waikju.j with firm elastic step. They are a birr? den to themselves end to other* be cause they fill no real place in the -economy of life. Eclipses, comets and meteors have not the dread for people they owe*, had. The spread of education and intelligence knocks on the head tiin? ?onored myths and. dispels iguora.uo ?with its acooaotpanients of superrti ?tion, bigotry and fear. During his visit to Panama, Presi dent Taft was told that the canal would be completed by December 1, 1913, and that the work would be accomplished within the three hun dred and seventy-five millions dol lars already appropriated. The voice of duty la never still, ft whispers to' us morning, noon and eight; it reaches us from the roar of the wild tempest, the sigh of the aommer winds, the soft, gentle mur mur of the wayside brook. That ?tili small voice will not be hushed. The churches of this country are aot nearly so much affected by out fade materialism and hostility as they are by the ease loving, purse jrroud and hypocritical members | within. One such member does more 4arm than a whole battalion of out cMo opponents. The Spartanburg Journal, which claims to be an Independent news paper, and which thinks that the j late landslide was more of a re-j Buke to the Republicans than a vie- j tory for the Democrats, is now giv ing the Democrats more advice than 4hej can possible use. The world would he happier If.) tile people were a little more gener ous with their praise. Not flattery, but just a word of appreciation would ?heer the heart and streglh-j an the hands of many a discourse- i ed worker in the home, in the school' la the church and in the world. There 13 nothing that so cheers <he heart of parents as the kind, af fectionate remembrance of their children. There is nothing that can adorn man or woman more than the gentleness and care they mani fest towards their aged parents as Chey totter on the borders of another world. If one looks for the crooked and bad things in society be can easily j find them. But then it is just as j easy to find that which is noble and j good, and in every way It is a much] better thing to do. Men should looit! up and not down and then they will j get encouragement to fight and over come the evil things of life. Life does net present a smooth road for any of us, and that Is a blessing. The man who is always looking for the line i?* least resistance will never develop a very atrong character, neither will be be of much use to his fellows. It ti'tea | a road sometimes rough, and s.e^pj climbing to bring out the best that Is in a man. The Conservative party In Eng land objects strongly to Redmond securing money from American sym-1 pathizers to help the Home Rule movement. But it Is significant that j the Impercunious English nobles have no objection to marrying Amer ican girls who can supply good Amer ican money to pay off debts on en cumbered estates. . Our Terrible Menace. "The real race problem has been impressed on South Carolina with terrible vividness within the last fe ?v weeks. Where is the solution? What can roll away the black menace that I hovers over every home in the Sourn jland as long as there are such oc currences as that near Little Moun tain the day after Thanksgiving? Men of the South?white and black ?can you answer?" This is the op ening paragraph in a strong and ap jproprlate editorial In the Columbia) Record on the awful tragedies that! have been enacted in this State In the last few weeks. The Record goes on to say: - Considering all the circumstances: of this terrible crime, In connection with other recent events, it brings home to every man the awfulness of the problem. Here is a young negro man, for years employed by a white1 farmer, who attempts the nameless crime against the defenseless daugh ter of his employer, and meeting with maidenly resistance cuts her throat with as little compunction as he would kill a rabbit:. Upon the discovery of the murder, tho negro joins in the hue and. cry, hut suspi cion quickly attaches to-him and con fession follows. "In these circumstances, with the mutilated body of an innocent girl In sight to arouse men's hot blood, it is absolutely useless to plead that the law shall take its coarse.' Lynch ing will do no good, we say, but the answer comes back, "what good is accomplished by yielding to the law? For only a year or more ago, within gunshot almost of the scene of this crime, a similar attempt was made . and the guilty negro was accorded a I legal, orderly trial, and was legally [executed. What good did that do? (Within the city of Columbia, less than 25 miles from the latest out ; rage, a similar attempt recently made resulted in the orderly arrest, trial and convictio'n of the guilty negro. What impression has that made upon would-be rapists? .. I "What is there that will do any 'good, as long as one irresponsible negro is apt to give way to his brut |Ish passions and strike down even tthe fairest and purest of women? In the loneliness of the country home, along the deserted country road, if protection Is for an Instant gone, she Is not safe. In the city bouse, with neighbors almost in touching distance, and police protec tion In call, even there she is not safe?not even in the capital of the State, under the very shadow of the .penitentiary walls and the yawniag ! gallows cf the jallyard. "Too much has been 3ald, it pleaded, about these . isolated in stances; it hurts the reputation of the South and keeps Investors and settlers away. What If It does? What matter money and Immigrants , beside the lives and sanctity of our . women? The horrible thing i3 here, right among u3, and we may as well face it and fight it out It can not be blinked, evaded or minimized. What are we going to do about it?" To all the Record says above we give our hearty amen. What our cotem . porary says is on the right line, and will be endorsed by all thoughtful men. "What are we S'olng co do about it?" is the question all right minded white men and colored citi zens should be asking themselves. Help the Gocd Work. Tho Red Cross Stamp is now on 'sale, and it is hoped that they-will be liberally used. As is well-known ! they are belnf sold to provide means I to carry on the war against that ter rible scourge tuberculosis. This dls I ease is today the most dreaded of all diseases which humankind Is heir to. Nearly all the other much prev alent diseases have been successfully j met, but tuberculosis remains, year ly claiming its host of victims, a menace to all who live and breathe. But a way has been discovered for combating this dread disease suc cessfully, and eventually stamping't out. How many precious lives will do saved when this shall have been ac complished! What an apprehension will be lifted off the minds of peo ple, and how much better this world will be! Who would not aid in this work, help to fight this battle and win this victory? It can be won, by the plan of battle that has been adopted. But to follow this requires money. To help raise this money the custom of selling Red Cross Stamps before the Christmas holi days bas been inaugurated. It was begun a few years ago, and has been adopted throughout the country. Everyone should help in this war for humanity. In every city Red Cross stamps are beln? sold, and every body de sirous of aiding In this war on the great white plague uses them at this time. They cost a penny each, a trifle, but all these pennies put to gether will amount to a good large sum. It is hoped that a million dol lars will be raised this year by this means. A Red Cross Stamp affixed to each holiday letter or package sent out means that the sender Is a soldier in this war for humanity, and is trying to assist In helping to win ultimate victory in this way thai has been opened. Who would not use Red Cross Stamps to stick on the holiday letters and packages that are to be sent through the mail? . The Cotton Picker Here. According to an article by Arth'ir W. Pa?e in the Decpmber World s Work, extracts from which we pub lish on the fourth page, the cotton picker ha? been perfected at last, by Mr. Angus Campbell, of Chicayo. In Texas, where it is now being suc cessfully used, the machine picks from 8,000 to 10.000 pounds a day fairly favorable conditions, at an op- j eratlng ?ost of ?6. This amount. | plus interest on first cost and the depreciation, compares with a co-it J for hand-picking of from $50 to $60.. As the Charlotte Observer says we have heard many successful cotton pickers announced that skepticism ! Is naturai, but Mr. Page and The Worlds Work are good authorities. If the practical cotton-picker has at last come into existence It will be only less epoch-making than the cot ton-gin, doing for the cotton-grower what Cyrus H. McCormick's harvest er began doin.j for the wheat-grow er more than fifty years ago. One-half Cent a Wort Found Notices Free. For Salle.?A horse, safe, sound and gentle. Work anywhere.
