What a noble thing it is to see in a demo cratic community, with the develop ment of the capacity for work, which tend to interfere with proper en forcement of legislative work, to see at the same time the soundness of the views of our people on what stands for decency and for justice. W r e honor every organization which attempts to keep men up to the responsibility of their obligations, which attempts to make clear the duty that is placed upon them as free citizens of this republic. Every one of us know's how soon is the relapse if we are not held stead fast to our ideals by social senti ment. It is a remarkable thing that the Youag Mens Christian Association has been so successful in providing so many different fields of activity for young men. Educational, or physi cal improvement, social, religious; it seems to comprehend about every thing that a young man needs. I heard, some years ago, it dfs tinguished educational expert say that the object of a mCral education was the wise conduct of business and the noble employment of leisure That seems to be the object of this association; fitting men to play .their part in life with ability, providing them resources for the noble em ployment of leisure, and giving them proper Actions of how ^ftfe shold be spent. W T e have had a good deal of over emphasis in the past on what has been called success. The young America has started out fired with ambition as he has frequently read of the adventures of those who have proceeded him to obtain what he calls success; and too frequently, that goal has been defined Jn terms of accumulation of material J>enflts and of prominent position. In these days, I think, we are tak ing a truer view of life. It is splendJd sight to see the young man of today going forth to make the most of himself, not for himself alone, but for the benefit of his fel low men. There never was a time in our history when mere wealth gave i:s poseseor so few advantages as it does today, in the opinion of h!» fellows. There never was a time when mere place or office, mere title to distinction, gave a man so li' .le as it does today . The attention of the courury Is riv eted upon worth rather tton nt-on position, upon the means ny which an end has been attained tuiu u accumulation. That is a mo.it wj, some thing. ^T^^&^irtMUeelWnnoral nxltst. a sharpening of the sense of justice, a clearer view of the man's obligation to those around him, a trurer per ception of the limits which a man should set for himself in the pur suit of his ambition, a quiet deter minatlon on the part of the people at large that no man shall overstep those limits and be faithless to his obligation to the community as a whole and at the same time t- ijoy the public respect. There is noth ing in this country that Is worth having which Involves any forfeit ure of that self-respect which con ditions all true results and every real achievement. AFTER NEGRO ROBBERS. They Broke in Dry Goods Store Af ter Setting Fire to House. A dispatch from Fulton. Ky., says a mob of forty men armed with shotguns arrived in that city early Tuesday on the trail of two ne*- groes, who broke Into the Mathis Duke Dry Goods store at Martin, Tennessee, Monday night and ran sacked the premises. It Is believed the negroes are beaded for Cairo, 111., and the Cairo officers were notified to be on the lookout. It is not be lievpd that the mob will proceed to " Cairo ai tnch an armed bfrdy arrtv ing there at this time would be lia ble to create an exciting scene.

The man who really finds enjoy ment on this mundane sphere is the man who gets his pleasure In his work. If a man can't find real Joy In doing what he does as a matter of making a living, he ought to seek some new employment and keep on seeking until he can find something that will be a pleasure as w'.l as labor to him. Did you ever notice the difference in the work of a man who comes down to the office in the morning with a smile and tin man who sits down at his desk wr.’a a yawn or a sigh as much as if to say: "Gee, I wish this day was over?” The smiling man is usually the one who wins favor from his employer and is advanced, while his yawning brother plods along at the same old desk year after year. Tho one with the smile Is he who finds pltiuure .ln hi* work, while the oth er is he who seeks new fields or try to find pleasure in the task aft which he labors. from her home, 530 Mug -4ia street, last Tuesday morning jt ago, has been located In St. Louie, Mo. Mr. J. W. Johnson, father of the young lady, left |iunday for’ St. Louis to bring her back home. ? i inson receive! a letter Sunday from her daughter in St. Louis. In speaking with a Herald representative last night, Mrs. John son said that the letter she had re ceived was- -one -of the most touch ing appeals she had ever read. She said her daughter had expressed her self in the letter as believing that her ftither would not take her back home, but that If he stoutly refused, she asked her mother tlo send her the money to return on, and that she would work for her until she had paid it back. “I am alone in a great city, among strangers,” said Miss John son in her letter . to her mothe; but I have always asked to be shown to good boarding places along the line.” Mrs. Johnson said the letter was full of assurances that her daughter had kept herself pure, and that she believed her. Albert E. Hill has been retained as counsel for the prosecution in the case against Kate Parham and Wal ter Johnson, under arrest on the charge of abducting Miss Johnson Mr. Hill will ask for a continuance until Mr. Johnson and his daugh ter arrive. Miss Johnson will be placed upon the stand, and It is believed she will tell the whole story in connection with her disappear ance. The story of Miss Ethel Johnson’s disappearance is one of the most clouded mysteries that hag ever hap pened about Spartanburg. A young girl, sixteen years of age. she was going to school dally and seemed to be happy and contented. Some time ago she was noticed occasionally with Kate Parham, a grass widow who has rooms over Sharp’s market on Magnolia street. Tuesday morn Ing a wreck ago she left home with her books, presumably for school Instead she took passenger train No 9 and went to Asheville. Immediately the Parham woman was connected with her disappear ance. Mr. Johnson and a police of fleer searched Kate Parham s apart ments over Sharpe’s market the next night after Miss Johnson left and they found there her school books The Parham woman declared she had nothing to do with her disappearance but that she had been asked by Miss Johnson to accompany her as far as Asheville. Walter Johnson, of Inman, cousin to Mr. J. W. Johnson, had left a ten dollar bill at Maddux drug store for Miss Johnson. This t^A- Miss Johnson caUed^l&r re TffSTrain. The conductor on No. 9 states that Miss Johnson handed him a ten dollar bill front which to take her fare, and that when she reached Asheville she ask ed concerning the connections to Knoxville. Accordingly Mr. John- (*on, in tracing his daughter, went at once to Knoxville. However, he failed to find any trace of her. He returned home on Saturday afternoon. He determined he would offer a reward for her re covery. but Sunday Mrs. Johnson received the letter from her daugh ter. As soon as Mr. Johnson read the letter and learned that his daugh ter was In a strange city without money he wired to her to let him know how much money he should send her. Directly he received a telegram asking tor a small sum. This he sent, and then took the train for St. Louis. Miss Johnson will tell the whole story when the case for abduction comes up against Kate Parham and Walter Johnson. It ia said that the story she will tell Is one that wi.l startle the community, and that It may result In placing somebody in the penitentiary. They Will Doable and Treble the Value of Our Raw Material*, Says Terrell. I * ' % !For years the thrifty North haa sold us oar necessititleg, and now it ia also gelling us our luxuries. Take the item of automobiles alone. You see them everywhere. In some towns the bootblacks have them. They are growing in popularity be yond any invention of recent years. Texas is paying out hundreds of thousand* of dollars for them, hut not one to my knowledge is manu factured in a Southern state.

Would that we could sell a great many demagogues and bny a few statesmen. To be plain about It I would like to purchase Aldrich himself and keep'him down here a few years. I believe it would be a great investment. He would cer tainly turn things upside down, would enjoy hearing those New Eng land ‘Yankees’ groaning and com plaining that the South wag getting ill their money. “Gentlemen do you wonder that the South Is dissatisfied? Are you surprised when you hear complaints? Do you wond^t that her newspapers ire constantly telling of her woes? Whose is the fault? Where is the cause and where is the cure? Can conditions be reversed by eon stantly abusing the northern manu facturers? We have tried that plan for more than a quarter of a cen tury, and our hearts are weary. "'Can it come from political con ventions, from silver-tongued ora tors, from high sounding platform declarations? Alas! we have already had more of these things than any other hand under the sun. "Can we reach It by abusing the trusts? The trusts care but little how we abuse them so long as we continue to buy from them. Haa anyone quit buying from them. Has will not permit them to dowbuslness in Texas, but we send them our dol lars just the same. If we had a few trusts ourselves they might wor ry the people of some other State, but they would bring their money here. They would create a balance of trade in our favor. I have notic ed few complaints of the trusts from the state in which they are sit uated. An old farmer friend once declared to me i« a confidential way that most of his troubles arose from the fact that he paid more for the things he bought than he received for fhe things he sold. He seemed surprised when I told him that much of the trouble of the world arcre from the same cause. “And yet the case Is plain and the remedy is easy.
