The weather will become unsettled, with probable showers after the tenth and continue until the close of the week. A town that is large enough and good enough for a man to earn his f*:, living in. is good enough for him to buy his provisions in.

It looks to us like rank ingratitude to make your money?your liying?in a place and then spend it elsewhere. , It is a practice that is all too common.

And so the stuff goes into EiV the waste basket.?Newberry ObEpv/ server. % The exposition managements had V money to'spend with the magazines in advertising, but they dished out the free stuff to the county newspapers. Free plate was furnished, but what pay was there for the space occupied? From the appearance of our exchanges, however, the management made a good guess that free plate matter would be inserted gratuitously.

The kaiser, it will be recalled, owns a vast estate on the island of Corfu, the largest and most norther ly of the Ionian lsianas, tying ou me coast of Epirus. at the mouth of the Adriatic. This island belongs to Greece, and if that kingdom should g, . enter the war on the side of the allies the kaiser's villa and grounds at Achilleion, five miles south of Corfu, upon which many million marks have been squandered, would become the property of the Greek crown. The villa, of marble, was erected in 189091 for the Empress Elizabeth, of Austria, at a cost of $.">.000,000, and has been greatly improved since coming into Kaiser Wiihelm's possession, in 1907. The building is in the Italian Renaissance style, and at its back are a peristyle and three terraces, with a large number of statues. Upon the broadest terrace is a fine "Dying Achilles," by Herter. The park descends toward the sea. in terraces. * and at a commanding site a small temple has been raised over a seated marble statue of the poet Heine, done by the Danish sculptor, Hasselriis. Decijrns fnr the charming villa were the work of an Italian architect, Rafaelo Cavito. The latest rumors are that a Swiss hotel corporation will purchase the place and convert it into a resort.? Julius Chambers, in Brooklyn Eagle. How to Tell. "How can you tell a woman is only shopping?" "When they intend to buy they ask to see something cheaper. When they're shopping they ask if you haven't something more expensive in stock." S*. THE OUTLOOK. By the Observer.' Somebody has been missing : mighty good chance to supply tin Bamberg markets with canteloupes watermelons and fresh vegetable this spring and summer. It must b< possible to raise these commoditie very early here, for some of m: acquaintances have had them al along. Those Florida melons am vegetables are not nearly so gooi as those raised here at home. I be lieve that the farmers should plan of these things, with an idea of get ting them on the local market earl; enough to compete with the shippei in articles. I am not much of a farm er myself, and my "farm" is quite toi small to raise things to sell on, bu if I had a nice fertile farm as big a some folks around Bamberg, I believ I could raise melons and fruits an* vegetables about as early in the sea son as our Florida friends. W< should not miss an opportunity t make everything our people consum right here at home, if it is possible. By the way, I remember readini last winter in The Herald that ou lriend, M \ J. M. Grimes, had a youni orange tree that had some nice frui on it. I believe it was stated tha thp trpp was raised out of doors, an< was quite hardy. Now I always di< feel that that Florida and California climate was not much better thai ours. If we can just add a fev orange blossoms I ant sure ther would not be a great amount of dif ference. There are very few of us who an careful enough about jvhat we do an< say. We have a thought to burst it self upon our minds, and proceed t< inflict it upon those who are patien enough to listen. It'-has been sai< that there is no limit to the capacit; of the human mind. I believe thi: is true, but so few of us make mud j effort to develop our minds. We? that is some of us, I happen to b< | one who does not?take physical ex j ercise to develop our bodies, and it i: all very well. It should be done I Used to do so myself until I got ou of the habit. But who is it whi gives the same attention to the great est part of our being?our intellect' I think that the average man wh< is down and out is in that conditioi because he does not use his thinkini machine enough. If all of us though seriously, even but for a small mo ment, before we expressed an opin ion, we would not be wrong so man: times. And then we would not havi to commit a second offence agains ourselves in order to maintain oui position. We have a whole lot of laws 01 our statute books. .Most of them ar< good, or have good intentions, bu: are so utterly useless. I think t'ha' it we nave a iaw u uugni iu ue cu forced. If the people have noi enough interest in the law to see tc its enforcement, then I think it oughi to be stricken from the statutes. Foi disrespect or disregard of one law breeds a contempt for all laws. Bui one reason for this disregard foi some laws is because of the fact thai we have so many that very few 01 us know anything about half of them Fact is I believe it would be beneficial to the people for the legislatun to remain out of session for severa years. By that time, maybe, the su preme court will have thinned oui laws out to a stand. Our State legis lators are good men and all that, anc I would not utter a word of criticisn against them, for I have no idea 1 could do half so well, but the fact remains that a large portion of oxii laws are useless because they are noi constitutional. Reminds me of z lawyer I used to know who made z good income from appealing cases or the ground that the law violated wa.? not constitutional. We hear a good deal hese dayabout woman suffrage, "sufferage," as many enthusiastic members of th< fair sex might term it. Ain't go nothing to say about it in the wa; of an opinion. Don't know rnucl about it. and if I knew, don't knov as I would say it. Water's too deep Might say. however, that the womei seem to have control of things toler ably well anyway. They use thei weapons pretty well, too. We don' know a fractional p^rt of the infiu ence tney ao exert.. uui every uiil-i in a while it leaks out where a wo man directed the men in doing wha they thought was the right thing? or the thing they wanted done.

I^ard Preaching in City of Tokyo by Associated Ihess Correspondent. An Associated Press dispatch from 'okyo, .Japan, says: Close by the houses of parliament, rithin which members were discussng the question of China, there stood . big tent, fronted and flanked by nanv bright-colored Japanese banters. Through the flaps came the ound of a man's voice, pleasant, restnant and powerful. The voice was xhorting people to come to God and >e 6avea. The correspondent of the Associat:d Press, who was on his way to the )iet, stopped at the entrance of the ent. A little group of smiling, wel:oming Japanese were there. "Who is that man speaking?" was isked. "Why. don't you know?" came the inswer. "That's Kimura, the Billy Sunday of Japan." At the same moment the notes of l Christian hymn sung in chorus fillid the great tent and bursting with>ut caused hundreds of passing peo>le to stop, listen and inquire. They vere informed that it was all part of he great Christian evangelistic movenent now under way throughout fapan, and that Seiraatsu Kimura, * 1?u-* -t ne young revivalist kjl oaycm, mcuu ind student of Dwight L. Moody, was onducting the Tokyo meetings. The picture was much the sanfe is American revivalist meetings with he added interest by the rich-colorid flowing kimono, the black hair of , he Japanese women, the occasional latter of the woodfcn shoe, and the nanv-hued Japanese decorations. The music ceased. Then a Japalese with regular handsome features, nedium in height, rather stockily milt, dressed in European clothes, tepped forward from his co-workers m the platform and began to talk n Japanese. He began quietly, but oon his voice rose and his face hanged as becoming more impasioned he discoursed eagerly upon he theme of salvation. Leaning forward and shooting out a clenched 1st before him, the evangelist cried o the men: "You students in ToCyo, sitting there on your Webster lictionaries, you think you are fine ;nd mighty indeed. You think how nuch better you are than other peoile; but, I ask, have you found"the ove of Jesus Christ?" Hammering Home Truths. Then turning to the young ladies ie shouted: "You, with your pretty imonos and pretty faces?think ou, perhaps, that you are saved by hese things alone? Prepare yourelf ere it is too late. Come into the :ingdom of Jesus Christ and be savd." Then he went on hammering r>mo truths\tn the different sections f his audiences, gesticulating vioently at times, moving nervously ack and forth upon the platform, umping up and down, crouching to lis knees, and especially using his ronderful black eyes, and his excessive face to bring home the hought he was trying to communiate. Suddenly he flung his right arm pward towards a sign which rested hove the platform and read it both i Japanese and English. ' < "Christ for the Citizens of Tokyo! 'he Citizens of Tokio for Christ!" Harken to the words, my brothers, larken to the words, my brothers i nd sisters. .My aim is to convert o Christianity every one of the 60,- i 00,000 souls in Japan today, I be- i ieve in sudden conversions. Come ] ere now, and give me your hand as n emblem that you have accepted he faith." A number of people walked up to < he revivalist and accepted Christian:v. Then there was more music and ] he correspondent was introduced to he Sankey of the Tokyo revivalist i lovement, He'is catted "Vio" Sakai. i eoause he loves the violin and as 1 ankey was singer for Moody so Sa- ] ai is the player for Kimura. \ The following day the correspondnt was told by the revivalist him- ? elf something of his life and some i hing of his hopes for the future. i Seimatsu Kimura. who is known i y his American friends as Henry Ki- ] aura, was born in Japan about 40 ears ago. "I was the son of a wine i eller," he said, "and when I was a ov of 16 1 was kicked out of my ouse. I sold newspapers to earn ] nough to eat. At the age of 16 I ias converted to Christianity and , omehow. since then, life has gone n happily and fruitfully. T think, s I told Dwight L. Moody one day, hat it is a case of Philippians 4-19.

Mis* Carrie West, of Spartanburg, Hangs Herself. Spartanburg, July 1.?Miss Carrie West, aged 40, a well-known lady of the city, committed suicide this afternoon by hanging herself with a rope in a closet in her home. The discovery was brought about by a little negro girl, who was in the house, and who called in Miss West's brother-in-law. A physician was immediately called. At the coroner's inquest tonight it was brought out that the deceased was alone at the time. She had been dead over an hour at the time of the discovery. The physician stated at the inquest that he. as family physician, had treated the deceased for several years and that her health had been bad. About eighteen months ago 3he attempted to take her own life hv rnttinc her throat. The deceased was a sister of Charles D. West, assistant postmaster here. Five other brothers and one sister also survive. Pa's Temptation. "Pa, with all his money, will never let us take our rightful place in society." "Why, he's most indulgent.

Moody was holding revival meetings in South California and so big were the crowds that I had a hard time trying to hear him. But I said to the big policeman at the door: 'Look here, Mr. Policeman, I have come 5,000 miles L T? on/1 VA11 milflt get me in.' "That was how I first met Mr. Moody. I stayed close by him and when he left for the North it was I who carried his satchel. Mr. Moody was astounded to find me following him to the train, and was more astounded when I told him that I was going with him. I told the great preacher that I wanted to become an evangelist. I asked him what school I should go to. I said I had asked two people and they had given me different advices. Mr. Moody said: 'If you ask five people you will have five different advices. There is only one being who can advise you truly and that is God!' And I said to Mr. Moody at once: 'It's all decided, I'm going to the Moody institute at Chicago.' " Mr. Kimura was getting interested in his reminiscences and was punctuating his story with some of his expressive gestures. "Mr. Moody looked up at me and said: 'Young man, how much money have you got?' I answered, 'Mr. Moody, I have got 35 cents.' The great evangelist looked me over with a good deal of astonishment. 'Well,' he ejaculated, 'how do you ever expect to study two years in Chicago on 35 cents?' And I said quickly: 'Mr. Moody?Philippians 4-19.' Scholarship Awaiting Him. "Mr. Moody smiled broadly and he sang out to one of his followers: 'Please remember tnis young man. He is going to Chicago to study.' When I got to Chicago I found a scholarship awaiting me." Mr. Kimura came back to Japan and proceeded to have six years of evangelistic work with the Japanese people. There were only thirty-five members when he started, but there were three hundred when he finished. Then he resigned to take up bigger evangelistic work and in June, 1914, he went to the United States, stopping at Honolulu long enough to convert over a thousand Japanese to Christianity. "There is one thing that I have learned from you Yankees, you Americans," declared Mr. Kimura. as a pleasant aside, "and that is your 'sticktuitiveness.' " It was in Denver that Kimura first saw. Billy Sunday. "It was the first time in 25 years that I had such an experience," he said. "I wept six times in one hour on hearing him." He joined Sunday's meetings at Des Moines and during three weeks attended over'50 meetings. Kimura came back to Japan in April of this year and began to take part in the great evangelistic campaign. He has been talking to big nnA ai'aiT u-oot- fnr the next year and a half is filled with engagements. When he preaches he often uses a blackboard upon which he writes in Japanese or Chinese characters the texts of his sermons. This method, he said, made things much clearer to everybody. Sometimes, when his voice fails, he uses a megaphone. He found that preaching two or three times a day in the vigorous manner he uses was very tiring, so he goes to bed every afternoon to prepare for the evening sermon. "1 try to make things as simple as possible for everybody," he said, "and I think nobody ever goes to sleep when I'm preaching. Especially, I'm afterj the backsliders. I'm after them all, ?very one of the 60,000,000 people." I ii - When a Doctor Prescribes the good that the medicine or tinll UC4U11C11I VTUl do depends on two things.
