WATT8 I88URH WAKNINti Nu 'Bloody Shirt' Isifue For Venerable 4 href Justice Atlanta, -J u! > 2U -A warning t > the <1? rn"? i ats of the South against reviving the "bloody shirt" ah an issue and denun. .ation of efforta of "rnisUfl per > . rt* * 1 inject the religious oues tiof; into 'he presidential campaign, ah tarried in a statement made here by (*hief Justice Richard Cannon Watts, of Sout h Carolina, whose delegates cast their votes for him .i h t ne party standard hearer in the - onvention at lloustor). The venerable chief justice pledges his wholehearted support to the nomincc of the democratic party in the national campaign. '"1 o anv man who lived through the dark days of reconstruction )ri the > toil h after the close of the War be An n the States, any thought or sug a ?. n- I ,p gesture of boiling the democratic ticket ik unthinkable and inconcefcvable." J udge Watts declared, and uiged the people to Ktarul by the party in what he termed its moat precarious moment in 60 yearn. "Wh at <an a southern man mean When he talks of bolting the democratic party?" he asked. "For a southern man even to think such a thing i* traitorous to the South and all the traditions of the South 1 have Voted the democratic ticket from the time the republicans forced negro office holders on the people of my atate and I shall vote this ticket until I die. 1 shall vote the entire ticket from A1 Smith down and if the true southern democracy stands by the party, true democracy will win its most sweeping victory since the days of reconstruction." Judge Watts denounced the efforts of "misguided zealots" to raise the religious hkuc, adding "the business of the. church relates to morals. You cannot legislate morals into a people. 1 agree heartily with Bishoo Warren A. Candler's statement on this phase of the situation and I canno'. see how any dhurchmun can hold an> other view, for the good of the church as well as for the good of the South and for the good of the country. "Those people who are attacking the democratic party from the insid in the South because of religious in tmmmmm ?? ^???? ! tolerance not only ar# violating nil party platforms but are violating the very constitution under which we live." Judge Watts warned against raining the m-gro issue declaring that the question "if brought back into politics, the negro will be killed." Present agitation within the party ranks was termed a "Hurry" by the South Carolina Jurist who said It would soon pass. "Let our people think and reason and th? y will see they have no other course," said Judge watts and concluded with a prediction that for the democratic nominees and South Carolina was going to vote that "every other state in the South will follow its example. Judge Watts who its 75 years old and has served his home state in pub lie lifr for half a century is he spends a few weeks to rest here in a private sanatorium where every summer. His home is Laurens. Ciesident John MoSween of Presbyterian College at Clinton, will take office August 15, and at a trustees' meeting in Columbiu this week caused the hoard to adopt a resolution that in the future curtailments of expenses and abandonment of expansion programs will be such as to enable the college to be conducted without debt or deficit. i Riles-Stinss Soothed and healed by applying gently visas \im a miujow MM WIP TKAKIY | "I'd Like To Be Out of Debt." I SMany families voice this cpmplaint, month after month, and keep right on js: saying "charge it," instead of "I'll pay for it now." Being free from debt and able to look the future squarely in the face, is a big fac- ?5 tor in success. No one does good work when they are worried about overdue paysss orients, and if unemployment comes it can be faced much more easily when there are B. Es no bills coming in.

Mary Spencer got a warrant for her 76 year old i huhhand for deaertion and nonaup- < 1 port at High Point, N. C., declaring j that after fifty years of married life j her apoua* lutcl left her. On the wit nes? stand, the husband said that ? soon after their marriage ?he began 1 to neglect him, hut he stood it although her neglect grew gradually worse for half a century. Then he grew tired of it and left when thing* i came to the pass that she would not ( get his breakfast. He went to the t I home of a daughter. The court took j ' until next week to decide what to do it, the case before it. t A Charlotte sanitarium sent a body t to an undertaker and Uncle John f Wilson, a respected negro of Huntersville, was told his son, long and seri- 1 ously sick, was dead. Uncle John i bought a coffin and grave clothes at , Huntersville and took them to Char , lotte, where they were nut on the body in the eold room of the under- 1 taker there. When all ready to start back home with the corpse, Uncle ( John looked at it for the first time? ami found it was not his son. He now has a good second hand coffin 5 and suit of grave clothes for sale i cheap. Rev. S. E. Mercer, presiding elder i of the Washington, N. C., district of 1 J the Methodist church, died at Lum1 herton on Wednesday while on his i | way to a family reunion. Heart disI case and pneumonia caused his death. The funeral was this morning at ( Duke Memorial church in Durham, < after a service at Lumberton. He j 1 was born in Rcfbeson county, gradui ated from Trinity college in 1896, and ' joined the North Carolina conference the same year, having a number of 1 pastorates before he became a pre- j siding elder ten years ago. He is | survived by his second wife, who was Miss Church, of Johnson City, Tenn., 1 four sons and two daughters. His children are A. E. Mercer, of Blowing Rock, Linwood E. Mercer, of Aurora, Rev. S.

FRANK CRANE SAYS ' The Best Conditions for Work I suppose every writing man or any ' successful man is constantly in re- 1 ceipt of letters asking him about his 1 i personal habits. The correspondents ' all want to know under what condi- ' tions he does hi? work best. They ' even inquire as to what he eats and : what kind of clothes he wears. 1 One of these correspondents once wrote to Bill Nye, asking what cloth- ' es he wore and how he dressed. He ' answered, "In the morning I wear < morning dress and in the evening I | wear evening dress and at night a j night dress." About the best rule for doing your best work is to find those conditions that suit you best, wherein the brain | functions mostly effectively. What | these conditions are varies in the case of different people. | Elie Metchinkoff, the little Russian i ,,e^ who became one of the famous I microbe hunters" and discovered that j in the human body are cells hostile to disease microbes, said he could always carry on his experiments best j I when pretty girls were close by. In yoUT case, however, this kind of sur: i rounding* might have a disturbing | j effect. Paul Ehrlich, another experimenter, used to hrive the grindorgan musicians play dance music outside of the laboratory. He said that his best - ideas came when he heard gay music ! like that. Dickens always had to have the j same kind of slips of paper, blue ink | and a quill pen when 'he wrote, j Stephen hoster, an American song I writer, composed his melodies in a silent room with heavy carpets and draperies. Newspaper men, used to the ceaseless noise of typewriters and the | bustle of a copy room, sometimes find ; thoj can not N\ork so we!] where all is quiet. Mark Twain used to write nis l>os; j stuff lying in fird wearing an oldI fashioned nigrt: gown. Frank R. ; Stockton produced nis famous "Rud; der Grange." dictating it while he lay in i? hammock and sipped lemonade, j * Hazhtt the es.say.st. ,poke ,r. thusjast ically ah,it the benefits of [ a brisk outdoor walk. Many other f people cannot think while walking, j ^rhube t scratched off sonic of his best songs at odd moments. One of his famou* pieces was jotted down on the back of the bill of fane of a beer garden as he waited for r. friend. S So the best thing to do is to not to : try to imitate somebody else, but \o I find the time when your own thoughts I flow with the greatest ease and then I work hard. t MajmtU- Theatre ? '* Building New Home Work wtti started Jhis week on a lew theatre building to occupy the ?iUf of the old Majestic playhouse. Jnly tho front of th?f present Ma* iestic. will be used, according to T? [At Little, owner, and this will bj aisod ten feet in order to make room 'or the balcony of the new plant, The remainder of the old building will be torn completely away and a lew theatre, laiger and more beautiful than any similar structure in this vection of the state, will be erect?<d in its stead.
