ALL ARE SLAVKS.
Many a wage earner has quit a
Rood job where he was making- a good
living, and prone to doing- nothing,
simply because he took it into his
bead that he had become a slave for
his employer.
There was nothing ever more wrong
than this. Tt is contrary to fact. In
one instance not long since an employee
had resigned and stated as his
reason that he had become nothing
but a machine, subject only to the
gnH i?q11 nf V>ic? Knoo K"
vmii vjl 11 to caiivi vuat jl*^
did not nropose to be a machine any I
longer.
It is wrong to regard the service
that we render to others in such a
light. The employee is no worse off
than the employer. The employer
who is thus set up to he such an autocrat,
is nothing1 but a slave to those
his business serves. He must do what
they say do, go when they say go,
make the changes that they dictate,
be nice to them when he does not feel
like being nice, cut down his prices because
they think he should do so, and
always be at their e/vice or else ho
is quicklv thrown the discard.
So that the truth fs that we are all
slaves, that is, if we are doing anything
at all in the service of others.
It has been truthfully said that the
only happy life is the useful life. Take
the man who does nothing and he certainly
has nothing to live for. He
who is spending his days in rendering
faithful service to others is the happiest
man yet. Those who do nothing
may appear to be the happiest, but
they are not so. No man knows how
it feels to be out of a job until he has
to go without a job for a time. Those
who are willing to serve are willing
to do it without stint. If he is an employer
he is subpect to the will and
caprice of his customers or clients,
far more servicable must he be, than
any underling that is working for him.
Mo matter what our station is in life,
matter what our station Is in life, if
if it amounts to anything at all, it is a
position of slavery in a sence, and can
be nothing else; so that the man who
is working for another and doing well
and quits because he is obliged to do
what the boss says, is nothing short
of the one who is willing to do nothing.
The willingness to serve is what determined
our position in life to a
great extent. It is so in all the walks
of life. The greatest servers are the
greatest men and women that we
have today.
o
Obstacles will be met. They are a
necessary evil in this world. They
must be overcome or we will be overcome
bv them.
o ?
' It is true that some of us cannot
stand prosperity. The many big
debts made during: the inflated period
proves that this if: so,
Money that is spent in trying to
keep up with others when we cannot
afford it, is money thrown away. It
should be saved against the time of
need.
Work never begun will never lie
ended. Some men are slow about beginning
and consequently slow abort
finishing. Go at it and it is soon
finished.
o
A machine is a mystery to many
people simply because they do not
study it. Many a man is running an
automobile today and the insides of it
are perfect mysteries to him. He is
not up to his job, whether he is doing
it for himself or for another.
o
How apt it is that we will overlook
the most important things in our
lives just because they appear to be
too small! It is easy to leave unnoticed

The only way to know is to keep re

ure clause is expected tomorrow. Sus>
pension of hostilities is to last a few

look, or until the senate disposes of
I the tax revision bill and the German,
Austrian and Hungarian treaties.
When the tax bill is called up tomorrow,
Senator Sterling, Republican,
of South Dakota, in charge of the
anti-beer bill plans to give way with
announcement of his understanding
that the "dry" bill shall be given right
of way after action on the tax measure
and the treaties. Meanwhile the
treasury department is counted on by
dry leaders to withhold regulations
permitting manufacture and physicians'
prescription of boor.
William J. Bryan today intervened
in the beer bill fight by issuing a
statement denouncing the alloged filibuster
against it.

Mr. Bryan who has been conferring
with proponents of the bill at thn
capitol, "to prevent the enforcement
of a constitutional provision is about
as undemocratic procedure as could
he imagined, especially a constitutional
provision which outlaws a
criminal traffic."
Mr. Bryan commended the search
and seizure clause in the conference
report. Search warrants for private
dwellings should bo required, he said,
but automobiles, he declared, should
be subject to search without warrants.
"To require a warrant before
searching a suspected automobile,"
said Mr. Bryan, "would practically
nullify the law. The auto could get
into another county before a warrant
could be secured. It is inconceivable
that any dry seaator can be deceived
by the mock heroics of the wets."

For Tree Planting
Blasting for tree planting Is best done
In the fall, because at this time of the
year It Is easier to catch the subsoil
in dry condition. Blasting In the spring
for spring planting, however. Is much
better than planting In dug holes, notwithstanding
the fact that the subsoil
is apt to be wet or damp.
If the holes are blasted in advance of
t.h? time of setting the tree** they are

amrFonlibrary
has rare prize
Marion.?The original grant from
George III of England for the land
upon which the town of Marion now
.stands was donated yesterday to the
Marion public library by Miss Kate
Lily Blue of this city. The parchment,
which has been carefully framed
for a number of years, is in an excellent
state of preservation and constitutes
a valued acquisition to the
historical relics possessed by the library.
The grant was made to .Tames Godbold,
the first settler in this immediate
vicinity and is dated 1700. The
"History of the Old Cheraws," by
Bishop Gregg, has this to sav of the
...u~ 1-- ?
wwvlnumo miu fiiny came to tills section:
"About the time of the Welsh immigration
to Pee Dee, settlements
were made lower down the river, in
what vas afterward Liberty precinct,
now Marion district.
"John Godhold was among the first
who came to this region. He was an
Englishman and had long been a sail-J
or in the British sorvice. Though ad-l
winced in years, at the time of his I
arrival, such waR his enterprise and'
energy that he accumulated a large
property. Ho settled in *l73.r> about
half a mile below the present site of
Marion, being the first adventurer to
that locality.
"He was a member of the Church
of England and died in 17^5 at the
advanced age of more than 100 years
in the faith of his fathers. His three
sons, Jfohn, James and Thomas, received
grants of land as he did from
the king of England."
It is the grant of land to his son,
James, which has become the property
of the library. History says
that when a site for the court house
was to be decided upon in 1708 it was
first intended to put it three miles
below the present site and call it
Gile boro for a Revolutionary hero,
Captain Hugh Giles. But Thomas
Qoclbold, the son of James, offered to
give four acres of land upon which
to put the county building and that
is why the town was built where it is.
He also asked that the town be
named for General Francis Marion
under whom members of his family
had fought during the War of the
Revolution. He asked for no recognition
for himself, but when the town
was laid off the principal street running
east and west was called Godbold
in his honor. It is feared that
not many of the residents here know
that the beautiful public square was a;
donation from one of the first landowners
of this section.
The old faded parchment presented
to the library by Miss Blue should be
of personal interest to many in the
town of Marion, as James Godbold
has many descendents among the

Washington. ? With the national
conference on unemployment standing
adjourned until October 5, the ten
sub-committees appointed at the organizing
session of the conference
yesterday were ready to get down to
work today on a study of the various
phases of the problem assigned to
each with a view to recommending
practical relief measures to the conference
when it convenes on that dale.
Hearings on unemployment statistics,
to cevelop reliable data ,us to the extent
and distribution of unemploy-,
ment us a prerequisite to enlightened J
treatment of the problem, were to be
gin today before the sub-committee on
statistics. Ethelbert Steuart, head of
the bureau of labor statistics, was
slated as the chief witness today and
a number of other witnesses will be
heard at their reouest.
The work of the specialized, committees,
which includc committees on
employment agencies and registration,
and on emergency measures by manufacturers
in transportation, construction,
mining, shipping and public
works, will be carried on simultoneously
with the statistical hearings j
which will be conducted for a week.
Following the adoption of emergency
measures after reconvening, the conference
again will divide into committees
for the working out of permanent
measures designed to hold unemployment
to a minimum.
Coincident with the opening of the
conference. Urbain Ledoux, who attracted
attention by his "auction" of
unemployed on Boston common, came
to Washingcon and laid before President
Harding at the White House a
proposal that the names of all those
who doubled their wealth by war profiteering
be made public. As an alternative
he proposed that the president
appeal to all who profited by tho
war to donate 50 per cent of their
wealth to an unemployment relief
fund. He said the president received
his suggestion with marked interest,
but gave no indication that they
would be resorted to for the present.
