Watson, editor, and one time candidate for president on the Populist ticket, Friday night spoke in Atlanta on the general issues of the day. Declaring in the beginning of his address that the world was plunging hellward, he painted the condition of affairs in the United States of today as he sees it. Taking up the foreign mission work, he stated that he was not opposed to foreign missions, but that he thought such work _1_ 1 "1 1 _ .1 _ J*A 1.L _ 1 snouia oe cone, auer tne people at home had been attended to, and not before. "There is, among the church people especially, a misconception of my motives and my purposes,'' said Mr. Watson. "On every hand'you hear it said, 'Watson is fighting foreign missions.' Such accusations are utterly untrue. There are men ahd women in this audience who have read every line that I have written on this subject, and they know that I have been misrepresented. What I have contended for is that the Bible nowhere commands us to neglect our own household and provide for that of another. Nowhere are we commanded to let our own boys and girls grow up in ignorance at the same time that we are sending college professors and music teachers to Chinese children. What I have prayed for Is, that we build all the hospitals we need in this country before building them in foreign countries. Put the missionary doctor and the trained nurse to work among our own destitute and afflicted, until all are provided for. Then, if we have any surplus doctors and nurses left, send them abroad. There are 98,000 negroes of Africa, Chinese in China,. Japanese in T ~ ? 1 IT: i .i? T ? J _ ? _ uci^ictii, uiiu muuus ui muia on the payrolls of the churches; the salaries paid them are drawn from the congregations of American churches. I cannot believe that such a system is authorized by the Scriptures. "The average salary paid to ministers of the gospel in this , / country is $633. As the cost of living in our country is greater than.anywhere else in the world, most of our preachers have to live very simple. In thousands of cases the wife and daughters have to do all the domestic work. Human life can be supported more cheaply in China than in any other country on earth. Necessary food for'the average family can be had for less than $100 per year. In China the missionary gets $600 for himself and another $600 for his wife-a discrimination against the American preacher, who gets no such bounty on his marriage. In China this married couple gets $100 -per year for every child born to them. When the child reaches 15 years of age, this bounty is increased to $150. The American preacher gets no such encouragement to raise a large family. It is no wonder that the forpitrn missinnnrv tiwoc In _ j >. mv finest house in the city with a housefull of servants, with handsome equipages and naphtha launches to travel about in, and with beautiful mountain homes in which to enjoy his three months' vacation in summer. This discrimination against the American preacher, adding, as it does, to the heavy burdens already placed upon the shoulders of our people, seems to me to be unjust, and not founded on the Bible. I am heartily in favor of foreign missions, as carried on by the immediate disciples of Christ and his followers for the first 1,800 years after his death. What I am opposed to is the modern innovation, which offers to the heathen such tempting inducements to change his religion, that it is almost impossible to tell what motive prompts him?a change of heart or a lust tor our money. What 1 am struggling for, is to get the churches to do more of their work at home and less abroad." f Baying a Horse. Father taught me one rule about buying a horse which I have always observed and I find it works out right every time, says a Georgia farmer. He said never buy a horse that shows too much daylight between his hind legs?that is, if he seems to be split up too high, you mdy be sure that he lacks power. A horse's main pulling strength comes from his hincMegs and COLORADO'S BLACKSMITH AUDITOR In the September American Magazine appears the following article about the interesting figure of Roady Kenehan, the blacksmith who last year was made auditor of the State of Colorado: "When the new administration came into power last year Roady Kenehan took off his leather apron, washed his hands and went up to the state house. An hour before taking the oath of office he had been shoeing horses t~I ** 1? in uuiui murpny s snop. iNOW he was auditor of Colorado. "For thirty years Roady had hammered an anvil, voted the Democratic ticket, and made friends. For two-thirds of that time he had been secretary and treasurer of the International Union of Journeymen Horseshoers. As a member of the State central committee of his party he was a fixture. He had served as supervisor in the city of Denver. But he had never stopped shoeing horses for a day. That was his business, and he kept at it as simply as he had when he was only a big young Irishman and not a labor leader and a wheel horse of his party. Nothing differentiated him from his fellow workmen except a certain largeness of mind and a fundamental honesty that everybody recognized. "Kenehan is a heavy-set man close to 60, with a genial, merry eye. His manners are as easy as an old shoe. After the democratic fashion of the West, his official door is open to everybody. Tradesmen, lawyers, bankers, cub reporters, all troop through it unannounced and call him 'Roady.' He is the most likeable of men and the simplest. He has worlfed hard all his life. He is unlettered, but he has that quality that makes for dignity and marks certain men as gentlemen regardless of their knowledge of conventions. "Call Roady a reformer and he would be indignant. He does not think much of direct primaries and recalls. Essentialjy I hp is nn nlri ll'no r\nlifi/?Jon in I .w vtvt tiiav (A/lltlCiail ill spite of his aggressive honesty. Somehow Colorado has a fond weakness for her downright ; blacksmith, such as she feels for none of her illustrious reformers. There is something so very human about even his faults." Prefers to Backbite. Lancaster News. It seems to be^characteristic of j human nature to accord jourj nalist different treatment from | that received by workers in I any other field of endeavor. ! Usually when a man does another i a favor or pavs him a compliment, thanks are promptly received in return. But when a newspaper ' man through the columns of his j paper bestows praise more or less fulsome on a citizen, or (boosts some enterprise that he | Has on foot, or otherwise helps him, it is only in extremely nare instances that the editor hears any expression of appreciation or words of thanks from the recipient of his kindly action. Of j course, when an editor praises a man it is because he thinks the party deserves it, and in doing so he doesn't expect to receive any thanks or other acknowledgment, but nevertheless, if the object of his pleasant words hapnonc frv 001 r "T ; J/VIIU vv oaj, 1V1 lIlDtclIICUr X thank you for that nice notice in the paper about me," it warms the heart of the newspaper man | The Stewa Has been pur< ly overhauled i class condition I: Fort Mill Manufi m The plant is n the new crop an ated throughou this company.
