Big business ?organizations, wibo are not afraid* that tihe depression is going to last forever but who are getting ready for the upturn by pi<eparing to (put new commodities on the market, are giving hints of some of the things we may expect. First in importance among these, it seems to us, will be the new type of individual dwelling house. Engi neer?, architects and technical ihen of all kinds have been talking a great deal about the excessive cost and the perishable nature of mos.t houses. Now a big* company has been formed in Chicago to manufacture houses in such a way that they can be readily erected anywhere with a minimum of labor. This is something different, we understand, from the "ready-" % frame houses that have been on the market for years. These new houses will have steel frames and pressed steel outer walls, with flat roofs and many windows, and will be equipped with electric refrigeration, heating units and everything complete, at a round $3,500 for a six-room house. It will take only four days to put up one of these houses, and if the owner wants a bigger one he can "trade in" the old one as he would an automo bile. And after the first payment there will be only one mortgage, which can be paid off at around $30 a month. a Another new industry of which We have seen several announcements is that of devices for "air conditioning" homes, offices and shops. ,This scheme of keeping the temperature and mois ture ifche same, winter and summer) and providing clean, fresh air all the t'ime, works well on a large scale, so there seems to b? no reason %hy it shouldn't work well on a one-room or ^FroinDetrolt we hoar of samethinf, revolutionary in automobile design and construction which is expected to come out this Summer; a new'type of Hgfhjt-weight, low oost, high-speed car with bigger balloon tires than we have seen yet. It looks to us as if the men who are big enougih and smart enough to make money and keep it are not worrying about wihether busiest will come oV not. They know it is coming back and they are getting ready. DAYS OF HAPPINESS? FOR SOME Everywhere in the United Stales it's Summer now. School is out, and the small boy comes into hi? own. Is bhere any such aompleto, irres ponsible happiness anywhere in the world as that of the schoolboy in the loaft Summer vacation ? We oan't re member that we ever were completely happy except in those two or three years each side of twelve, when we had nothing much to do, aside from a few chores around the place, from June to September. Hiow many things a boy of that ago finds to do in the Summer, swimming, fishing, berry picking, baseball, or just loafing a round in the fields and woods with his dog. The country boy has it all over his city cousins in Summer. He can go barefoot without losing caste; he is. not always running into a police man to stop him from having a good 'lime; he doesn't have to comb his hair and put on a clean collar every little wihile, and if there's a hole in his shirt or his baeecheis nobody worries mudh about it, least of all th? boy Himself. The fpmall boy isn't old enough to understand the trouble? that worry his elders. He hasn't had enough ex perience to realize that life, for most, people, botween the ages of fifteen cund, say, sixty, is a succession of more or less tragic emergencies. School, of course, is an awful nuisance, and keeps h'm from being completely hap py nine or ten monbhs in the year. If we were asked to point out the happiest individual in the world we'd pick almost any country boy of twelve O* thirteen, in the Summer. , / THK BAJTH'B is ON The unexpected happened ?t Chica go. The Democratic convention, which Republicans hoped might prove to be one Of turmbil and dissension, turned out to be one of harmony1 \ and good will. It was a business, convention and constructed a platform remarkable for conciseness and clean***, a plat form that all who road wider iaiTgr giii' taken as a whole, it a sound, cou rageous proclamation to the x Ameri can people. In the* nomination of ^ ticket the convention showed great wis<lotn. Franklin D. Roosevelt was undouhtly the choice of the great majority of the Democrats of the United States. Opposition to his nomination was con fined to a few Eastern states and evecy opportunity was ? given their delegates to express their opinion tyid to develop what strength they might. After three ballots w<hich developed the standing of all candidates, Texa? and California, ardent supporters of John N. Garner, were released by their champion and the fourth ballot' resulted in overwhelming victory for Governor Roosevelt. The voice of Democracy, the voice of the majority, was heard and Franklin Delano Roose velt will head tho ticket in the cam paign which closes in November. In the selection of a nominee f r vice-president the convention was e qually happy. Much more than a score of years John Nance Garner of Texas, has represented his state at the nat ion's capital. In his long term of ser vice he has won the friendship and confidence of the representatives of both major parties. Mr. vGarner is a plain man, and one of unusual legisla tive ability. As vice-president he will hold the confidence of Republi cans and Democrats alike and always will be found working for the interest of the whole people. The virile platform adopted by tno Democrats nt Chicago is different from the weak and mushy thing dic tated by Mr. Hoover and jammed down the throats of Republican dele gates two weeks ago^ by his shock troops from Washington. Roosevelt and Garner, standing on the plaitform ?jfiven them by their party, should lead the Democrats to victory in the com ing election, but that will not be if Democrats expect viotory to come without hard work. The rampars of Republicanism are strong and the assault upon them, to be successful, must be well planned and aggressively conducted. There must be no sulking in tents by Dem ocratic leaders and the activity and cooperation of the men in the ranks must be loyal, bold and true. Foitu nately, with few exceptions, there wa: np. indication of. pique or disloyalty or the part of that great gathering- j? Democrats at Chicago The fight is on to determine wheth er the United States must suffer fou; years more from the policies of the Republicans and the errors of t'hei' misguide 4, president or whether the principles of Jefferson, as expressed by thc Democratic platform and en dorsed by the party, shall once more be recognized in the capltol and th< Wlhite House. ' J n To win the fight the courage, thc loyalty, self-sacrifice, vigilance and the cooperation of all Democrats will be required./? Spartanberg Herald Journal. International Sunday School Lesson SUNDAY SCHOOL LESON THE CALL OF MOSES Lesson for July 10 Exodus 3:10-15; 4:10-12. Golden Text: Exodus 3:12 ?by Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Ait last Israel's time of training was nearing an end. They had come tlhroirfth bitter experience to see the furtility of th?ir own strivings and to turn ip faith to Jehovah as the only hope of deliverance. In like manner Moses {had .passed through these long, lonely yearn of the teabing desert ex perience, years which brought meek ness, humility, and a tried and trust ful faith. The hour of the divine call was at hand. Moses was to be God's rtstrumenrt; in a deliverance which would echo through the ages. ' -Now Moses has chosen : chosen bo suffer afflic'tion with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleas ures of sin for a season (Heb. 11:25). But still faith faltered; he doubted, Tiis own capacity. Humility is a grace f great beauty but may become a subtle peril when we are led to ques tion God's way for u?. Note the infi nite patience of Jehovah. When Moses questions, "Wiho am I that I should ?o unto Fharoah?" the reassuring answer is, "Certainly I will be with Ihee". To his second question as to now his divine commission is to be established before Israel the tender ?ejponse comes, "Thus shalt thou say anito the Children of Israel I AM hath ;er.t me unto' you." Yet even ip the ight of this marvelous unfolding of the nature of God a-linnerihg doubt remains. Moses, like many another >f God's servants, loolcs at himself instead of looking at the Almigihty One. "I am not eloquent, f am slow )f speech," ho pleads. Nevertheless jod's grace surmounts even this final anbelief and offers the pledge, "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt sipeak." What marvelous words of encour agement are these! What a wondrous ally has the humblest child of God in | all His service. JUNE 23, 1891. Mrs. Elizabeth Kelley, an aged lady, residing in West Wateree died Satur day morning> Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
