C. ts THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th 1914 Some men thing so much of a se cret that they cannot keep it. * * * If you want a thing done quickly carry the job to the busy man. * * * * If you have a secret you wish to keep tell it to the first woman you meet. * * * * Some men are never satisfied unless engaged in giving somebody else trouble. * * * * In every large family you will find some members good and some members bad. * * * * Politics reached one extreme in this State. They will naturally go to the other before long. * * * * Some people are fine in calm weather but entirely worthless, not worth one cent in a storm. * * * The man who is in mortal dread all the time that he will oifend somebody is not apt to do much. * * * * Are you pulling down or building up as a member of your community? It is time for you to find out. * * * If you desire to feel right about it hereafter, go on and vote for the best men for the public offices. * * * * The streets of Conway arc pleasant places. Just after a rain. If the rain is not too heavy. * ? * * Many are like the tramp. They are not afraid of work and therefore lie down by it and go to sleep. * * * * Among the candidates for governor there are several who will do credit to that high oftiee. * * * * Keep up the work and the daily struggle for the goal lies still just over yonder. It will never come to meet you. * * * * Some men have arrived at the place where they regret that it is their duty to vote. They hate the very idea of politics. * * * + It is amazing to see how much a man will act from prejudice rather than as a result of calm thought and the exercise of judgment. ? * ?

Many men have been wise enough to find this out. * ? m * The world has advanced to that stage where each nation needs the other even in times of peace. When some of them go to war, all of the others must suffer more or less. * * * While a part of humanity is laboring to keep cool at the mountains and seaside resorts, the rest of mankind are just as busy as ever performing the necessary work of the world, re 11 r A i i. i guruiess 01 me neat. ? * * When was there ever a time when the people took so little interest in politics? The interest they are feeling is shown by the small number of voters attending the meeting all over the State. * * * * It is he who sits down with his hands folded on the stool of "do nothing" who gets the least said about him. The rule in this world is to find fault with the man who has tried to do something. * * * Success demands that a man should keep several things nearby in his recesses of his mind at the same time so that each may be brought forward at a moments notice. Training will enable almost any ordinary mind to do this. * * * + Count up the men and women in Conway today and you will find that the majority came from the country. riM r * inereiore never discount the country boys and girls. They are certain- | I ly entitled to a place on the roll of 1 honor. * * * * No city of its size in this section of the country is coining to the front more rapidly than Conway. Consid- . ering everything each man and wo- : man should feel proud of the town and proud that they live in it. And in addition to this each man and woman ought to do something, be it ever so little, in trying to boost the town further onward in the march of progress and prosperity. * * * In politics, just as in everything else, there are many there who fail to give any deep study to the problems confronting the people today. You may look for the shallow man in politics as you may expect him in every other walk of life. But it is not best for the people he is to serve that he should remain there. Try to get men in public olliee who will give their might, power and soul to the working out of the problems facing the State today, men who will have the interests of the people at heart instead of their own selfish ends. * * * * When the news first reached this country about the war in which all of the great powers of Europe have be conic involved, there were many people who never thought of the evil effects that would follow such a war, even to the people of the Northern States; and little did they suspect that the farmers in the South would be put to inconvenience and perhaps sulfer financial loss by reason of this war on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Hut by the middle of last week it was apparent to even the farmers in the rural districts that this section of the country would have I to bear its proportion of the burden. ; The buyers of tobacco on all the markets, in so far as the export trade was concerned, were ordered off the floors. Later the buyers 011 all other grades of the leaf were stopped. Word reached hero that the tobacco men at Mullins were holding a meeting the latter part of last week to consider the best means of handling the serious situation. There is only one tobacco crop and the manufacturers must have it in order to keep their business going. This the warehousemen knew, uud they also knew that some plan would be formulated lor handling and storing the crop that later would be jo much needed. Just as it is about .obaceo, so it will be about cotton. >ut when it comes to cotton,-the naure of the product is such that it "can e stored and kept without danger o\ , % detrioration. While there may be delay in selling- cotton at what it really ought to be worth, still it is hoped that these bloody wars in the Old World will come to an end before any serious consequences follow to the cot ton farmers of the South. * ? * It is set forth in Holy Writ that blessed shall be the peace makers, for theirs shall be the Kingdom of God. Many people have studied this holy saying and pondered just what the exact meaning and effect should be. The divines of the present and of the past differ somewhat as to the exact construction to be placed on the words. Our construction of it is that the language in plain English means just what it savs. And this meaning attaches to it in a general way as well as in a special way. It applies to it when considering the world as a whole just the same as it applies when considering the individual man or woman. The man in a community who makes it his business to keep peace among his neighbors and succeeds has accomplished one of the greatest works that a man could do. Of course such a course on his part will bless him as long as he lives bringing him in rich returns when he least expects to receive them. Just so it applies to the members of any so ciety formed for the common advancement and mutual benefit of a community or entire people of the State. Just so it applies to the man who steps in between his two brothers who are at war with each other and trying to injure each other in various ways. Just so it applies to the nation or State who comes in as mediator between two other warring nations or states and causes the dark clouds of bloody war to roll away from the horizon. There is not a single word i 11 the bible that is not true. Those who want to know the meaning of any sentence it contains may find it by studying it out in the right spirit. It will naturally come to them if they want it. ALL THE CI I'M LEY NEWS Locals and Items of Personal Interest (lathered in a Busy Community. Gurley, S. C., Aug. 9.?Mrs. II. W.

Stevens was among the farmers visiting Conway last week, STORE YOUR COTTON, HOLD FROM MARKET, IS THE ADVICE OF AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT, AS TO COTTON*, THE CONGRESSIONAL ADVICE, The Farmers of the South Will Do Well to Heed And it is Believed They Will,?Cotton Will be Bound to Bring Good Prices Later. "Keep calm; use the nation's great credit and business staunchness to the fullest extent; withhold cotton from the market and give careful attention to warehouse facilities for grain." That was the advice of the Department of Agriculture last week to farm ing interests as a means of relieving * ~?i A viircai.c;iivu i;ruy cungesuon on account >f the European war. The committee of Congress appoint ed to look into the situation sums up its advice as following: "It is our mature judgment that the least possible amount of cotton should be put upon the market during the next 60 days for it is our belief that the combined strength of the Federal government and State and local agencies, coupled with the inherent courage of the Southern people, will make it possible for the cotton crop to be marketed without sacrifice." The farmers of Horry county will do well to heed this advice. It is the best we can give them. The cotton crop is necessary to the pleasure and comfort of the world, and while the prices might be low now on account of the difficulties of commerce, if the farmers will store it and hold it, they will be bound to get a good price for it a little later. MRS. C. E. GAUSE. On July 28, 1914 the death angel visited the home of Mr. J. F. Gause and took from him his loving companion, Mrs. C. E. Gause. She was sick nine weeks and all that husband, children, brothers, sisters and friends ; could do. Our blessed Lord saw lit to take the good wife and mother to j sleep in the arms of Jesus to await ; the resurrection day. She leaves | a husband, seven children and three 1 l i I /? i i 1 r oromers, nvc sisters aim a nost 01 relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but we hope our loss is her eternal gain. She joined the Missionary llaptist Church in her early days and lived a Christian life for her children and to the world until her death. She was born January 20lh, 18(17 and died July 28th, 1914. Her funeral was preached the following day by Rev. P. B. Coats. Afetr the funeral services she was laid to rest in the cemetery at home, near Daisy, S. C. Loving husband and children.

She leaves four little children, a husband and three brothers and a host of friends to mourn her ^ loss. We believe our loss is her gain. She joined the M. E.
