The High Point Review says of his address: "When Mr. Biease arose he. was I greeted wun appiause. niveiv une v>a.?j intensely interested in the man and I wanted to hear what he had to say. Those that came expecting a ribald speech were disappointed, because the governor delivered on? of the most practical talks along every day life as it affected the fraternity of Red iMea you e' er heard.

On every hand his speech was complimented." The Review further says: "Scores of citizens shook the hands of Governor Blease while here, and [wished him success, telling him they admired him for standing like a stone wall for what he thought was right regardless of what people said. The little chats the people had with Mr. Blea:e were enjoyable moments. "Bleas-e has more admirers in High Point since his speech at the auditop rium. The man was seen and heard A in person instead of 'read about' and here is where the people generally get their best impression." Governor Ble:ise at Summerton. Former Governor Blease delivered an address at Summerton on Thursday night, the Hth instant. He was heard by a crowd variously estimated at from 800 to 1,200 people. His address was along political lines, the former go-vernor expressing his well ( x known views. There was no personality in the address, nor wras the name of any political opponent or official even mentioned. He criticised the general assembly for the creation of useJess offices, and for the waste of the oeoDle's tax money. His address was r effective, and was often punctuated with applause. Tt was a very enjoyable occasion, and even some of those who did not agree with the former governor in his politica1 views spoke highly of the address as a whole, pronouncing it one of the (best ever delivered in Summerton.

An agent will be put in the field to raise $25,000 to enlarge the dormitory of Summerland college. This is the first ti ne this latter institution as asked anything of the church at VATze. Svnod's debt is a problem with which the body has wrestled for many years. It has finally grown to $10,000 in round numbers. This is not a large amount, but it has been growing, and synod resolved to wipe out the whole 'thing as soon as possible. To this end congregation will be asked to raise one dollar a member, payable in ~ ' ? iT XL .

The members of synod went home seemingly determined to j wipe out this debt, that synod may -tart even again. All the old treasurers were re-electod, Mr. A. H. Kohn, the faitthful treasurer of synod's general funds, being among the number. Some new pastorates were formed.

Summer Bros, company ha? something to say about it in this issue of The Herald and Xeys. ? <s> $> THE IDLER. <S> <$ <?> 1 rt-acl tne IOilOWing 111 a newspaper the other day and I think it has a point that the editor who undertook to throw off on the cub reporter did not grasp, and a good point it is too Read and then see if you do not agree with me. A news item in the Utica Press says: "It is thought that the bullet was a :tray one, but had it struck Mrs. Ahles, i I it would have wounded her as badly is though it has been aimed at her." 3y George, the reasoning power of johie cub reporters is absolutely marvelous.?New Orleans StatedThere are many bullets and they are stray ones, too, that do damage just as much as if they were aimed at the victims. And they strike and hit and j on t'no mnvo cnmpfimPS because i 11 Li 1 L C4.ll kUV/ "*v* vy - ? j they are not aimed at the victim. Many j i stray bullet of words has done much j more damage than if it had been aimed j at some particular -victim. It's the stray bullets that we want to avoid if we can, but the trouble is we never know when, they are coming nor from which direction they come. The point I want to make is that we should not send the stray bullets forth whether they be leaden or the other kind. ?o? This rt-mindi me that 'some time ago .he editor handed ine the following clipping and said that a friend of mine had &sked him to give it to me. Xow, wh>', I wonder. i j Why Is It! Why is it. it is often asked, that people in small towns can find no better business than prying into other ntople's business, and then exaggerating tiie iruth in regard to the same. People who pretend to be Christians, "ho attend church regularly, who, in I he sight of their neighbors are gei\ erous and cnaritaDie, yei wuo, wuuum the slightest provocation, pick up some little mistake, or more often at nothing. will so scandalize one as to ruin his or her reputation for life. While they would not steal from them worldgood's, yet they rob him or her of what is more precious than gold?a good reputation. Why can't peopie - /^U?in+in nifxr fVlof tllPV I practice me vunonaunj umv j , preach and "do unto others as thev would have them do tanto them?"?Sel. I Well, this is a case of sending some stray bullets into space, and sometimes they are not aimed at any particular person, but they do the damage just the same as if they had been aimed. Now I am going to give you some wise sayings?not mine, for I never pretend to be wise, but some I have read? and they will answer the paragraph quoted in a way, or at least make one think before he does wnat tnis quotation says some of the amen (Christians are charged with doing. And if you can make them think they will be more careful of what they say and what they do. The point is to make people think.. We don't think half enough. If we thought more many of us would be silent more often. If we should stop to think how foolish many of the things we say sound we would keep silent. If we stopped long enough to think and to realize that many of the bullets we send out in words can no: be recalled and that they will do deadly injury whether we aim them at any particular object or not we would very frequently not send them forth on their death dealing mission. Listen to some of these: "What you keep by you, you may change and mend; but words once spoken can never be recalled." That is worth remembering. Here is another. "A good word is an easy obligation, "but not to speak ill requires only our silence, which costs us nothing." How about thac? Don't you thing it fine? Here's another. "Vituperation, abuse and villification are as worthless as they are cheap, and fortunately most harmful to those who deal in them." _4>nd that's true, so don't be worried if there are people who want to attend i to your business for you. And people who pretend to be Christians. You! know what the Great Teacher said j about the Pharisee. It is as true to- J dav as it was when He spoke it.! i 'Then hore i? a good one.

How about that? Remember it and taKe comiorc. rne people wno worK haven't time to be meddling with the affairs of others and the people who do not work are not worth bothering about. The fact is if you want anything done that is worth while doing you better get some one who is busv to do it. And the further fact is I do not care to bother with the folk who have nothing to do but attend to other people's business, and" when they atI iempt to attend to mine i just let em alone and they don't hurt anything. If you worry about them then it is that vthey are the happiest in.the plying of theif trade. If you pay no attention then they get made and quit and let you alone. But I like to talk about nice things and, sayt, ain't this beautiful weather? It is equal to any of that bright blue weather of October you ever heard about. Sow grain. Hold your cotton. If you need some money put the cot! ton in the warehouse and borrow I money at 6 per cent. It seems to me j that it would be a pleasant diversion i to borrow a little money at that rate. We have never known anything below 8 per cent in this country and I believe if I had a little cotton I would just borrow a little money at that rate I whether I needed the money or not to see how it feels. And, by hie way, I it does look like the Southern farmer is about to come into his own. When did you ever see the banks so anxious tcr lend money before. Why they just advertise in the newspapers that the/ want to let you have it. It would seem to me that the farmer would never again let himself get in the position where he would have to be a suppliant at the hands of the people who sell money. He need not unless he j just wants to. He made this crop very cheap and he has more to eat for man and beast than he has had in many years, and when he remembers how the situation was last year he-should keep what he has and put himself even in a stronger position.
