No. 112. Entered at the postofflre at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. NOV. 26. 1914. The bugs of summer have been banished to their winter cemeteries, but the bughouse does business all the time. The European war is going along satisfactory to most of the countries engaged in it, according to reports from the respective countries. It never does any good to call the attention of some folks to their mistakes; they merely set you down as a fool for not seeing things as they do. Beautiful is the sight of our voting neonle going to and from school. Pure maidenhood and manhood has no superior in beauty and grace. Young people, .do your best. It will be the survival of the fittest in life. Get knowledge and it will all come in as profit some day. Get character; it is above price. Older people, encourage them. Here is one of the pathetic incidents coming out of the shambles of Europe: Two wounded soldiers?one French, one German?lay side by side on the battlefield. The former passed his water bottle to the wounded German. The German sipped a litsle, kissed the hand of the man who had been his enemy and said: "There will be no war on the other side." Half the joy of life comes from getting good out of things as we go along. Some of us are always putting off our enjoyments. After a while we expect to take a rest, see a friend, read a book. But after a while never comes: the good time we are looking forward to lies as far away "its ever. All our life is spent in meaning to overtake it and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge and grow old, passing by with unselfish eye the) K'i m\i itf/i mwrU t <- f .. f I it* |/| M i r ^t'L UUl UI ! every day. An increase in the price of newspapers in smaller cities in the Middle West probably will be made by members of the Inland Daily Press* Association, according to sentiment expressed at their annual autumn meeting and dinner in the Hotel LaSalle in Chicago. "The war in Kurope," said Will V. Tufford, of Clinton, Iowa, secretary of the association, "has sent the price of print paper and other publishing materials to a high mark and in order to preserve the progress of the press and * keep within a reasonable profit the prices must be increased."

In many towns the women's clubs and other organizations of women are found working for civic betterment ? more narks, cleaner streets, public libraries, gymnasiums and cleaner morals. But a woman can do as much as an individual as she can as a member of a club or any other organization. She can encourage her hyshand to interest himself in any movement for the public ! ? ^ /rood. She can exert an in-; fluence where mere man has j much less influence than she has; for she can teach the children of t her own and of the neighborhood, pride in the home town I and an ambition to make it a clean and well governed municipality. The town that becomes a model of its size is the , town where both men and ; women are planning and working for it all the time. Nr. Bradford's Position Endorsed. (From the Yorkville Enquirer.) In our view of the matter. i representative rsradtord was exactly right in the position he took the other day. with reference to the matter of backing up the court house commission in agreeing to give the architect a rake-off in the purchase of furniture for the court house. If the commission had been vested with authority to provide furniture. the matter would have been different, and we are quite sure that Mr. Bradford's position would have been different. But when the commission undertook to go beyond its powers and assume to do something it was not called upon to do. it is gratifying |to know that the county has a representative with the nerve and backbone to call them down. ; Embarrass the commission? The ! idea! It is the delegation in the 1 general assembly that the re1 sponsibility rests upon, and they will hnvp tn answprtn npnnlp for unnecessary extravagance. There are no doubt those who will have it in for Representative 1 Bradford for thus speaking up as ; he did; but if they succeed in discrediting him with the voting taxpayers for whom he was so j I boldly standing out, he will still retain his self respect as the result of his refusal to allow himself to be overriden as though he were a dummy. 9 ? ___ Frank Loses Another Appeal. Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court Monday j refused to issue a writ of error to bring to the supreme court, for review, the conviction of Leo | M. Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan, a factory girl, in Atlanta, Ga., in 1918. Attorneys applied to Justice I Lamar for the writ on the ground that a right under the federal constitution had been denied' Frank when the jury's verdict was returned during his absence from the court room. | Henry Alexander, attorney for Frank stated that he was unable to say whether the application for the writ would be presented to other justices or not until he had consulted with his associate, Henry Peeples. 250,000 Backsliders. More than two hundred and fifty thousand* members of the! Presbyterian church in the1 United States have been placed i on the "suspended roll" in the j last five years, according to the i report of the Rev. William Fulton to the General Assembly I Committee on Educational Policy now in. session in Philadelphia. He gives as the causes, "the growing love of pleasure, disregard for the Lord's day and the word of God, the increasing craze for amusements and the influence of worldly company? in cIlAft t Ko mA/ln ??n 1'^" 1 in .^ik/i t, iiiv iiiiuri II view Ul lilt? which is preached by many secular organizations." "They slipped back into the world, fell away, were relegated to the ecclesiastical scrap heap," said Doctor Fulton. A highly interesting address was delivered Sunday morning from the pulpit of the local Presbyterian church by Rev. : Palmer C. DuBose relative to existing conditions in China and her accomplishments of the past few years, coupled with an appeal for support of the work being done there by the Christian churches of America. Many of those in his congregation found his comparisons tjuite startling. Mr. DuBose is located at Soochow in the mid-China mission of the Presbyterian church. - i LODGE MEETING.
