THE BOY SCOUTS.
We do not know so very much about
Boy Scouts, but all we do know about
them is decidedly to their credit, and
it pleases us to learn of the progress
of this splendid organization. One
thing that we have noticed is that
wherever there is such an organiza
tion they have a Scout Master, and he
is usually a high type of man, dean
and enthusiastic, so much so that we
catch ourselves thinking that he not
only influences the boys for good but
that the boys exercise an influence
over him for good. We had a pleas
ant chat a few days ago from one of
the Boy Scouts of our city, and we
looked into his manly face, and lis
tened intently as he spoke of what it
means to be a Scout. The Boy Scouts
are being trained for a graet purpose.
They can become very useful in any
community, and when it comes to put
ting something over that needs en
thusiasm and efficiency, the Scouts
come into your mind. No com
munity has a greater asset than its
young life. As visions come to us of
the Boy Scouts in action, we see the
great possibilities for building up a
great and worthy citizenship, and we
stand ready to assist the boys in any
way we possibly can.
There is every reason why all pos
sible encouragement should be given
such an organization. If you will take
your eyes off of the manly fellows
who are Scoots in spirit as well as
in name, and then look upon another
picture by way of contrast, you will
see clearly a duty to perform. As we
write these lines a picture of a num
ber of young boys who are behind
prison bars is lying before us. Sup
pose they had been trained to be Boy
Scouts. Do you suppose they would
be what they are? Thousands of
bright boys are today behind prison
bars. It is your privilege not only
to help the boys of your community
who compose the Boy Scout organiza
tion, but to attract the attention of
boys whose habits are leading them in
the wrong direction. Reports from
all over our country tell of the crowd
ed condition of our prisons. Our com
munity is not exempt. Nearly a
score and a half were in our county
jail last week, and it it is not an un
usual thing to find young fellows
there. We have come in contact with
them in our county jail time and
again. No boy with the real Boy
Scout spirit in his heart gets behind
prison barst> but on the other han 1
stands a better chance of making n
good and useful citizen. We are glad
that Camden and our neighboring
communities hive such organizations,
and we Wish them all well.
NOT A SINGLE HID FOR MIU
PROPERTY
The cotton mill conditions in th?
New England states appears to be In
a deplorable condition. There must
be a cause for it. One of the best
equipped mills in tho country was
"put up for sale at auction, but there
was not a single bidder for the prop
erty. It had been in successful oper
ation so it has been stated until the
New Bedford strike took place. This
is an object lesson which southern
mills might profit by.
The Daily News Record, New York,
N. Y., in its issue of June 24th says:
"One of the features of tho week
was the auction sale of the equipment
and machinery of the Sharp Manu
facturing Co., which proved a bit?
disappointment to all concerned. Th?
book value of the plant estimated
the machinery at $4,320,130. With
real estate listed to the valua. of
$1,742,900. Not a single bid was re
ceived for the property and it has
been announced that about one
quarter of the equipment was dis
posed of at the auction. The re
ceipts of approximately $100,000 tells
in cold figures the present lack of in
terest in textile machinery."
This item appeared on pnge 15, sec
tion 1. On the front page another
article quoted the auctioneer as fol
lows:
"He was of the opinion that the
auction speaks for itself and was a
serious reflection on the entire Cot
ton Manufacturing industry. He was
surprised, he said, that there were
not more southern mill representa
tives bidding on the equipment. The
apathy of New Englnnd mill men In
dicated a serious condition he declar
ed, and suggested lack of confidence
in the future, as many of the mills
in New Bedford and Fall Kiver could
have vastly improved their plants at
trifling cost by purchasing some of
the Sharp Mill equipment."
GRAND JURY COMMENDS AN
EDITOR
(From Spartanburg Jounral)
Seldom if ever does a grand jury
in drawing its presentment commend
a newspaper man for constructive
work in his field and territory, but
that is just what the grand jury of
Fairfield county does, recognising the
efforts of the editor of the Winnsboro
News and Herald to arouse the farm
ers to the importance of diversified
agriculture. Following is the para
graph from the presentment on this
subject:
The grand jury has noted the
vigorous and effective campaign
of the News and Herald for di
versified agriculture in Fairfield
county. The results of the corr
paign are apparent, and we wish
to commend heartily the editor
for his efforts. We feel that The
News and Herald is entitled to
the thanks of all our people who
wish to see agriculture ? the
backbone of the country ? re
vivified.
THE FOURTH OF JULY
Thursday will be Independence Day
? ? July 4th. It ii> a great national
holiday, and the meaning of Independ
ence Day should stir the patriotic
spirits of every ture American. Un
fortunately the day is frequently mar
red by some tragedy, and it is there
Fore well to make up your mind that
so far as yau individually arc concern
ed it shall be a sane 1th. Here's hop
ing that you will have a delightful
day.
EXPORT TRADE OF SOUTH CAR
OL IN A IN 1928.
Exports of merchandise from South
Carolina were valued at $22,538,080
compared with $36,280,316 in the pre
ceding year, according to returns of
the United States Department of
Commerce made public to day by C.
Grant Isaacs, District Manager of the
Carolines office of the Bureau of For
eign Domestic Commerce, Charlotte.
In reviewing last year's exports, one
should take into account the falling
off in last year's cotton production
throughout the stato. For the cotton
year ending July 31, 1928, the pro
duction of raw cotton in South Car
olina, exclusive of linters, was 738,
550 running bales as compared with
1,025,991 during the cotton year 1926
27.
Raw cotton ranked first in order of
value among the commodities sent
from the state to foreign markets
during the year and was valued ft
$13,814,019 compared with $27,379,554
for 1927. Other leading exports with
camparative values for 1927 when a
vailable were cotton cloth, $3,831,77$,
and $2,524,630; leaf tobacco, $1,105,
140 and $1,470,862; cottonmill waste,
$1,015,138 and $1,(583,400; boards,
planks and scantlings, $754,091 and
$764,4117 wood manufactures, $345,
699; edible animals and animal pro
ducts, $246,695 and $180,677; asbes
tos and manufactures, $113,403; and
metals and manufactures of metal,
$110,482 and $75,916.
Chemicals and related products,
machinery, vehicles and parts, cotton
'seed oil, and edible animals and ani
mal products were included among the
diversified commodities exported from
South Carolina in 1928, and animal
products were included among the di
versified commodities exported from
North Carolina during 1928.
O. P. Hopkins, Acting Director f
the United States Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Washington,
under whose supervision the returns
were complied, calls attention to the
fact that these returns are based pri
marily on through bills-of-lading, and,
therefore, in case of some states they
reflect but a part of the total for
eign trade and for others include
goods produced elsewhere. This is
especially applicable to shipments of
cotton piece goods, cotton yarns and
other textiles, sold through selling
agencies and generally billed to East
ern houses. Approximately nine>ty
per cent of this class of merchan
dise moves abroad from Kastern sea
ports, ? the bulk being shipped from
New York.
An examination of complete re
cords would unquestionably reveal in
creases in the movement abroad of
Southern cotton goods nnd yarns.
Exports of Southern carded and mer
cerized yarn are being taken in larg
er volume in the South American
countries which are expanding their
local textile industries? particularly
Argentina and Brazil.
Total exports of merchandise from
the United States in 1928 were valued
at $5,043,972,142 compared with $4,
758,721,078 during 1927, an increase
of $285,252,064.

II. Ezekiel's Commission (vv. 3-8).
1. The moral condition of the peo
ple (vv. 3, 4).
(1) A rebellious nation (v. 3). This
perhaps referred lo their Idolatrous
practices.
(2) Impudent children (v 4). Dnpu

It means t he grossest perversity which

2: The charge (v. 4). _ -
lie was lo deliver Hod's message.
It was t?> be. "Thus salili the Lord
Hod."
3. The dlllicully ol his task (vv. f>-8)
The prophet was to deliver the tnes
sage of Hiui whether they would hem
or forbear, lie was to fearlessly exe
cute his commission, though the a 1 1 1
tude of the people he us "briars, thorns
and scorpions."
A faithful minister's life and tcsil

(II Tim 3:12).
III. Ezekiel's Experimental Qualifl

Before one can preach to others lie
must have n personal experience.
1. Kilting the book (2 :!>-3 :!i).
This book contained (iod's woes up

tV. Ezekiel's Grave Responsibility
(3:17 21 )
Two things were required of him as
a watchman over the flock.
I. To hear the Wort) nt God's inoutl
(v. 17)
The source of his message was God s
Word. This Is true today.
1. To sound the warning (v 17)
After lie had heard Hod's message
lie was to speak It out; I lien his re
sponslhlllty was discharged
V. Ezekiel's Courage ( 2-1 : 1 T? I H )
lie was lo be taught by a sorrow tin

her, I am the resurrection and the
life: he that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live: 26.
And whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die. Believest thou
this? 27. She saith unto Him, Yea,

Christ, the son of God, which should:
come into the world.
