W ) | PRESENT DAY ALLUREMENTS AND THIER TENDENCIES (Contributed by .las. L. Carbery) Fortunately we seem to have reached a day when the great moral issues augmenting the general spirit of un' rest are attracting: attention of the better classes and. while on he whole : there are those who dare not oppose I anything favored by public sentiment because it is upheld by society or recent custom, there are a few others coming into the lime light in the interest of coming generations, and bringing strong opoinions into prominence through the press, pulpit and other channels. Certainly if these people can arouse public sentiment to the point of seeing its error, there will be a decided change for the better in our social, moral and religious affairs. Recently a few of the church women of the North banded themselves together for the purpose of circulating a petition urging change of styles and increase of materials in young ladies' dress and, strange to say, this movement seemed to win some favor from the first. Papers all over the country printed favorable editorials in behalf of the issue; even ministers commented from the nulnit. Some measure the scantiness of present day female attire by present day opinion in general, wink, and go ahead: other by what their grandparents would have thought, but that is not the real issue. As stated before, the consideration of those consciously concerned grows out of a heart-felt desire to close the gateway to temptation in thought, word, or deed (the effect such dressing has unon ypung men?"cause and effect"?if we want to call it by that name.) It. seems no longer a question of what the better element think, those most sincerely interested in making the world a little bit better, but instead,, the adoption of all sorts of ' ' ' ' >YS : own.

Inality?the so called "thrilling West- a em" movie, where every detail of . horror, violence, 'brutality and lawbreaking is vividly shown, all woven 011 into an enticing mystery too realistic w to be forgotten bv the admirers of ^ this class of pictures. nl As a result, we scarcely pick up a m paper without seeing ? mention of Ti young bovs iust at the'danger period ra of life who have put some phase of i \ these pernicious teachings into actual m effect. Havin" beep shown in minutest detail <ust how the hero handled w the situation, all the boy has to do is ^ to yield to temptation, think, and then fit his purpose to his local surroundings. If those responsible for bringing up children in the right way?Clod loving, er Clod fearing.?do not take some step n< toward a much closer censorship of at this class of movies, dire results may Cf be expected alone with an increase of crime almost directly traceable to le the "popular" movies. Movie houses put up the defense ^ that thev are compelled to cater to the desire of their patrons. From this viewpoint, if meji and corporations are to exist, make money, through the destruction of our youth, then it is r* time for such people to close their m doors and seek other means of liveli- ki | hood. m ' The class of people who flock to jjj see such picture? are the very ones h, most susceptible to mental and moral dangers and defeneration, ready and willine to yield to those influences that break down the teachings of the Church and its pastors. c' There is dancer, plenty of it. and if not checked, fathers and mothers toleratine such thine*' may expect to reap hi the proper reward from what they hi permit to be sovyn. ei Too much cannot be said in favor of cood pictures: thev arc one of the "] freatest meriums of increasing know- s, ledee. and an increase of this class a would, be of material benefit to the world, but it is time to call a halt n on those teachine or enlarpriner criminal instincts and visciousness. cl A TRAVELING MAN'S EXPERIENCE fi You may learn some thinjr from the following statement by W. H. Ireland, f! a traveling salesman of Ixmisville, w Ky. "In the summer of 1888 I had a ^ severe attack of cholera morbus. I ft Kave the hotel porter fifty cents and tl 4--I-1 i ? - i-oiu mm to buy me a bottle of Cham- tw berlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy nnd to take no substitute. I took a double dose of it according to the directions and went to sleep. At five ll o'clock the next morning I was called by my order and took a train for my next stopping place, a well man." li Guatemala's first plant for the manufacture of Portland cement has been 8 started by American interests. EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF "JAZZ" At Last the 8ec'ret (T) la Given to the World, and by an Engliatw man, Too. Writing about the Jazz reminds me hat the subject Is of such Importance hat a long cablegram was recently ent from London concerning the orb in of the word. According to the ablegram, the secret Is out, and It Is n Englishman who gives us the valuable information. He tells us that, while Englishmen hould not be held responsible for the ernacular of their brethren in the Western continent, the word Jazz, he dmits. Is now as much a household rord In England as In America. And hen he goes on to say that the word ame from the South and from the neroes. Now In the South, he tells us, here Is a germ known as the hookrorm. which affects all true southernrs. Some unkind employers call It lonfer-ltls." The white employer, aeording to the erudite Englishman, In he South has many thousands of nerocs working for him, and conseuentl.v many overseers. So, not being ble to remember the names of all his jremen, he generally names each man aspcr, which, according to this Engshrnan. Is a term of the highest esvm. Through the very human love f abbreviation, JaRper became "Jus," ml as the overseer's principal means f getting work out of his underlings i through harsh nnd abusive tongue, e was often requested to "Jnss up" ic work. The Southern drawl makes Tn*?" sound like "Jazz." And there e have the word Itself. And Jazz iusIc, no matter what classlc-lovlng Hies may say about it, at least ln?lrcs energy. Hence the derivation. -M.islcal America. RAVEL IN "GOOD OLD DAYS" escriptlon of Journey Made In Early '60s Recalls the Hardships of the Pioneers. The hardships of pioneer life In Isconsln daring: the early '50s are vldly portrayed by Dr. John O. feve. In an article entitled. "A Phyrlan In Pioneer Wisconsin," In the Isconsln Magazine of History, pubihed by the State Historical society. The difficulties Involved In the prac*e of medicine In a country almost void of roads, and with only the (cessarles of life", and with practUnlno money, are related by Doctor ?eve. who practiced In a small vllge In Dodge county. Of a Journey nde In January, 1852, he writes: "Called tp Cleveland by the critical ness of a Bister, I left home on a inday morning In a sleigh, a prlte conveyance, and reached Milwaue, about 50 miles away, that night orn there on runners to Chicago, hence some 30 mllesjnr Michigan *Tfffttr~na?re??, and ii -vehicle toss to the Southern Michigan, at at time building from Toledo to Chligo.

It Is also disclosed by the irvey that It requires about H.000 new en "very year merely to replace the ?ps in the ranks of the ministry at ?me. Possibly He Had.

They are at a stage where aach water is needed, i. e. forming poiii, They drink up rain fast and we hai much wind last week, and we had tu> clool nights; as low as 62 degrees sometimes. I am not going to repot1; too fine a crop, especially cotton. JudAng from the increased amounts of eriilizers used, the comparatively cle** culture, and the two weeks latenest, it is badly off. It is already blooming near the top. While it is practically laid-by. there is none to gather yet, and may not be much. A. W. Gillmore and son, A. E. Gillmore. went to Greenville Friday, to spend the week-end with his son, W. C. Gillmore. Mrs. G. W. Nabb (Miss Hattic Moss)' of Honea Path is visiting her parents, Mr. and rs. R. E. Moss, this week. R. G. A. Jeter, who is doing carpenter work at Charleston, is spending a few days at his old home here with relatives, recuperating his health, and will visit at Scdalia. Protracted services began at the Baptist church here yesterday, Sunray. Rev. A. T. Stoudenmire will do the preaching this week. The people are hoping for a good meeting. L. S. Fridy, now of Spartanburg, spent the week-end in and around Santuc. visiting relative^. This is his "native heath." I forgot to mention last week, the death of b^n Sartor, a colored man. He lived such a straight, honest and industrious life that I would like to mention it. His was a sudden death. He went out to work, fell, and was broaght hack in a few minutes and died in an hour. He was past middle age. quiet. industrious and will be missed. He was a share farmer, and a shoemaker bv trade and had a large patronage repairing shoes, often on wet days, Saturdays, and at night; many times when others of his race were idling. His wife, who was also an industrious woman, helping around homes, things learned "away back," and which no vounr ones try to learn these days. Dreceeded Dan to the grave iust two months. These were ante-bellum negroes, whose numbers are iast. aiminisiung. Some farmers are laying-by crops, some may be already laid-by, and some will work later. I am told that people used to lay-bv early in July, and I believe I can remember when father did it, but now we plant a month later, than when I can first remember, to start with, and so, I believe cotton is worked long enough, generally. I know that I have gained, at times, by working later. Two years ago, I worked one piece of cotton the middle of August, and one I aid not work, and I cot a heavy top crop on the workeH piece. Experience .-of many good farmers proves that in most years it pays not to stop too early. This may be the off year, and a crop may be ruined by plowing, so, there vou are up against it, I guess, at any rate. Without fear of contradiction I will Cv that Busy Bee wrote one of the st letterrf last week;>8Qund, and, to the point, or as the saying goes, he ("hit the nail op the head." I fully agree with you all through. I have heard manv pe.oplo bragging on the fine crops, iudging by the size, and but a few speaking of the fruit. And I guess many thing that all the -"fineness" is done by their own strength. Flint Rock, did you ever try plowing long rows. on a hot. dry.
