A great many fathers and mothers, and some young women, too, ought to read the little lay sermon that Sherman Crawford delivered in San Francisco when he was arrested there recently for bigamy. He married a pretty and refined girl, and afterward, when it was discovered that he was already married, he said: "How many mothers know the origin of their daughters' friendships? How many fathers investigate the yonng men who hn/inmn mmcfc in ihoil* hnmocV uctvmt ^ uvovo in i/iivn nviiivu. Not many, I can tell you. I never met any questions anywhere. You can travel a Ions way on your manners and a little ready money. Give almost any fellow a clean collar, one decent suit of clothes, shine his shoes and lead him to the barber. Put him in any kind of a gasoline-driven, 4-wheeled vehicle, and he can make young women friends so fast that he will be dizzy." Up in Wisconsin last February the body of a young girl was lounci in the snow. L,ast weeK a young man was acquitted of her murder. But the correspondence between them revealed a situation that . must have astounded their parents. That sort of thing gets publicity every now and then through some resulting tragedy, as in the Orpet case, and in lesser degree the Crawford case. The number of cases that are never heard of, but which nevertheless are just as tragic in their effects must be large. And so often they might have been prevented if fathers and mothers had given the time and trouble necessary to make themselves real companions for their children!?Kansas City Times. Big Striks Seems Imminent. The probability of a peaceful settlement of the threatened strike of the railroad men seems to grow more vague as the days go by. The situation at present would seem to have reached the point where congress only can prevent, the strike and Presiden Wilson has asked congress to enact legislation which wiil effect this end. The strike, if it does ( come, will tie up 225 railroad systems in this country, and effects 2,155,000 men; 270,000 miles of railway, and 2;507,997 railway cars. The trouble was brought about by the demand of the brotherhood of conductors, ! engineers, firemen and trainmen demanding an eight-hour day and time and a half for overtime. This the railroad heads refused. Fort Mill Wants Him. Come home, Colonel Springs. The business, social and religious life of Fort Mill and the community wants and needs you, and our entire citizenship stands with outstretched arms to welcome you. , m, i Crops Are Poor. A Columbian who visited Rock Hill a few days ago told the Columbia Record that the crops in the Piedmont section of South Carolina are exceedingly poor, i With very few exceptions the1 crops are in poor condition along the whole route of the Southern railway from Columbia to Rock j Hill. The Columbia man exhibited some silt from the Catawba l river that was deposited during the recent flood. It is of a light brownish color. Over the area flooded by the river the silt was deposited from two inches to three feet deep. The silt from the rivers in this part of the country is of red clay origin and is not as rich as the general run mi tbe salts are.
