We hope we are quoting the brainy man who wrote the above lines cor-' rectly, at letyst the sense of what he meant to get to the people is there. c Cheraw surely needs to^get this les- ^ son today more than ever before. 'r It is high time for some people a in this community to stop, take a w breath and look and listen. h There is scarcely a day passing now that a report is not started that will likely injure some one within the li- S mits of our town. The day after our B young people have enjoyed a dance u the air is lurid with reports of mis- n behavior on the part of the young la- 81 dies takine Dart and when you try tl to get at the truth it's the same old story of ''somebody told me." ^ * Possibly our young people are part. S ly respnsible for being talked about ^3 by trying to keep step with the trend i<: of the times but that's no excuse for any man or woman repeating things ^ told them which will injure irrepar., eably the reputation of some young lady. A good motto to follow is not to repeat anything you hear unless you are sure it's true and if it will j. injure anyone don't repeat it at all. r Think it over you will not lose h friends if you "cut out" the Gossip. j o t SCANDAL SEED ,* b "Where there is smoke there must P be some fire." I * Since the creation of man youth has had to learn by experience the b lessons of life so it is folly to preach to them that they, by their careless words and actions are responsible, to e a large extent, for the talk that is started and grows with each telling. n "Mqf nnnnlo realize the lintold C and lasting harm that can come from '' these reports and it is high time for tl them to take a hand. The Mothers and Fathers of our ' young people should insist that the t present style of dancing be modified and the objectionable features "cut out" or stop the dances. They should ti insist on a number of chaperones who bl will stay throughout the dance. tl They should insist on chaperones w for long automobile excursions. tl Our boys and girls of today are just C as moral and as trustworthy as any ir who have gone before. W'e believe ir the world is growing better morally 4< every day but when free and easy, n< happy go lucky, careless talk and ac. oi I i : New tt At Nei Buy Thes Percales in new cl Dress Ginghams, Romper Cloth, li American Prints, Apron Ginghams Outing, solids, lij Dimity and Pajar Wool Dress Goc Sheets and Pillow Blankets and Con Work Sh oes, (ch Work Shoes, sini Work Shoes, wel 7 Men's Standard ( Old Ladies Vici J L.

As little as we like to pay attention o idle talk, we must, because if it las for a background, a vestage of oloring, possibly only a careless renark, it is accepted at face value nd the harm is done. It's the talk that does harm.

It is cus >mary in the Spring to have what i known as Spring cleaning which enerally does for the entire year, ut now people are even doing away 'ith the custom of having Saturday t ight as weekly bath night and bathe 1 ametimes two or three time during 1 le week. So why not give our pre-;< tises more than one cleaning a year, t 7e hope the Civic League will lnau-,1 urate a Fall clean up week certain-(< r before Oct 1st. We will gladly give 1 publicity. 1 !< rhe Home Is the Christians Greatest J Battlefield. ?

In addition o thi$ building, the exposition direcorate has found it necessary, in orler to carry out its elabora^p plans, o build an airdome affording space 'or a large number of booths for the iisplay exhibits and also provide seating capacity for about 2,000 people. The main building will be divided into exhibit space, about 25,000 square ,'eet being available for this purpose, vhile the remainder of the floor space vill be used as aisles and assemblyjoints and for others purposes. In he airdome, about 5,000 square feet >f floor space under cover will be ivailable for exhibits, though the ex libits in this structure will be less >ulky nature and include most of the sxhibits of various civic organizaions. Some of these booths also will ?e sold to concess ionaires, it being mnounced for the exposition direcors that all concessions will be withn the exposition walls. All band concerts Cnd other enterainment features of the exposition vill be held in the airdome, which vill adjoin the main building, thus allowing as many as possible of those resent to find seats and in comfort Ind greater enjoyment in the music. ?eat8 will be provided' in all space .vailable in the open air, it being the urpose of the building committee to nake this an open-air amphitheatre. Ample facilities also will be provi. led for the storage of boxes and rates in which the exhibit material vill be shipped to the exposition, a pur track terminating right at the wilding. o Now is the time to buy Nitrate Soda for 1922 deliveries.

Probably no] {synod is better organized. This and | ]other interesting facts are available i in the minutes of the meeting of the ! general assembly held recently in St. 'Louis. In South Carolina there are 32,911 members, a gain of 7,688 in ten years; .just about 30 per cent. There were I received into the churdh on profession of faith last year 1,041 persons or about five to every 100 members, i The Sunday school enrollment was 26,555 or 80 to each 100 members, the largest ever reported. S The receipts for benevolent causes amounted to $456,786 or about $13.87 per capita. This is well above the average of the church as a whole. The total gifts to all causes amounted to $1,049,183 or $31.84 per capita, the largest amount ever contributed. In 1911 they gave to all causes only $12.11 per member. The report shows that the year just I closed was the best the church ever had. The membership increased 25,41 in the entire Southern Presbyterian church, making the total now 297.058. There were six persons re. ceived into the church on profession of faith for every hundred members of the church or at total of 24,369. The Sunday schools showed an increase of 12,992. There are now 93 members of the Sabbath school for every hundred members, while ten years ago there were 69 Sunday school membeij per-hundred churoh members The receipts for the designated causes such as foreign missions, home missions, Christian education, orphanages, ministers' relief, etc., were $i.,,.?S.550 or $12.43 per member. Last year the receipts were $3,699,760 or , $9.82 per member. This is s?.fd to i Via fho hacf rofnril nf nnv rhnrrh In ' i this country. The total receipts for j the year for all causes amounted toi $12,124,891 or $30,53 per member as : against $9,236,836 or $24,53 per mem-J ber last year.- Church members state| that they do not expect the receipts for benevolent caus# ts be affected by the financial depression as their experience has been that the desig-j nated benevolent causes and the sal-( aries of the pastors of the church are things that the members consider just J as they consider food and clothing or other necessities. The report brings ^out that the re-1 newed activity of the laymen of the| church is giving the ministers great hope for the church. The reports ,show an increased attendance at prayer meetings and less difficulty in securing men to do much of the church work that formerlv fell on the minister. Another feature of the church re. port of special interest shows that there are 13,080 persons who practice j tithing; that is pay into the church one-tenth of their income. This is the first year this report has been made and as many of the church did i not give the numbers it ie thought that there are at least one fourth more , than the figures would indicate. The report is very interesting not only to members of the Presbyterian j denomination but to olfcers who like to study church statistics.

The business world, at the low ebb of a long period of depression, never loses its head or makes any serious complaint. Diminished sales and dis. appearing profits cannot cause it *to lose its supreme faith in the future. It builds in adversity today for success in prosperity tomorrow. It is so in every walk of American life, in every sphere of American oc cupation. It is the American spirit, which never admitB defeat?which sees only future victory in the midst of present adversity. This town is a fair sample of the hundreds of thousands that dot the ' - - J -?

The American spirit of optimism Is the one that wins most in the end. rRII A NT OFFICER , TO BE RESTORED Jhesteriield Trustees Discuss Bene fitsa of Compulsory Attendance.
