s " SCANDAL. r
There is so mucn guou in tuc m \j i f i i
of us I
And so much bad in the best of us 8
That it ill behooves any of us *
To talk about the rest of us.
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

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

As little as we like to pay attention
o idle talk, we must, because if it

FALL CLEAN VP WEEK
While one of our advertisers is
ailing attention to the number of
ouses in Cheraw needing paint and
nnrpsaine' on our readers that it is
big saving to paint your property
e want to suggest that Cheraw
ave a Fall clean up week. 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

structure will be completed and ready
'or the decorators to begin their work
jy August 20 and probably a weel
jarlier, it was explained. 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.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCE8
SHOW MEMBERSHIP GAIN
A
Records Show Noticeable Progress in
Every Branch of Church and
Sunday School Activity,
i (Presbyterians particularly, and other
denominations generally, will be
interested in the fact that this state1
stands fourth in membership in the j
Southern Presbyterian church in the j
1 K stntpq onmnvlsinp that nre'anizft-1
; tion and is outranked by North Caro i
Jlina, Virginia and Texas. 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.

conviction that what he loses this
summer he will make up at anothei
time.
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

conditions as they exist, and adapt
ourselves to them without wasting
valuable time in bemoaning our misfortunes.
f
But we have no intention of remaining
in this state of temporary
depression.
We know that a change is on the
way and that with little patience we
will welcome its arrival.
The American spirit of optimism
Is the one that wins most in the end.
