PARKER I Thu pausing of Lewis W. Parker from th? cotton mill industry in this State removes from the (Md of in- , dustriailsm one of the host trained men ever engaged lu the work in the South. Possessing a sympathetic na ?ture. lie was tho friend of the work ing mau. Haring a well trained aud keen business miud he was able to mamigo thc affairs of the many mills of which he was the head with notable atility. Speaking ot his work in thc {cotton mills, the Greenville Piedmont i anya: i I You never IU?HS the water till the well goes dry." So runs an old say ing. The truth of that saying ls be ling appreciated now by operative*, in I thc ?.-otton mills ol' which .Mr. Lewis )W Parker was the directing head. ?and also by operatives in milts with i which he had no connection. Whl'.e he was tho head ol' the greulest ?-ot tion manufacturing corporation in the South he vus bitterly attacked by d? uingogurn. who mude Kreut profes sions or love ror the cotton mill oper atives but wno nov?T did a ningle thing to better their condition? of liv ing. There is no taint of demagogy about .Mr. Parker. He never played about love of workngmen, as ?lo those who want vote?. Profession never has been nnd never will bo proof of love. Love fa provou by Bervlce. hy what is donn for tb'jso for whom love is feb. And codon mill operatives In the Parker mill Villages and others aro Just beginning to realize what the Fakers, Lewis W. and Thoa. F. did tor them. They ure missing the ?water, for tho well, if not gone dry. ts showing signs nf approaching that (-Muli! inri. Prior to this advent Into colton manufacturing In South Carolina, the employer took little interest in thc welfare of worker? in tho mill. They were paid BO much und must do so much work-nnd 'that was practically ull between them. Under the Par kers, welfare work at their mills was thoroughly organized and systemati cally carried out and the inspiration of its accomplishments sprtad the work elsewhere. In some places this vork will be continued, but in others there are signs that lt will be al lowed to dry up. Monumental us was the welfare work Instituted and pushed by the Parkers, and regrettable as will bc Its abatement or discontinuance, we have a conviction thnt the services of the Parkers to cotton mill labor in other ways, particularly since the organiza tion of thc great corporation that bears their name, have been greater. When it comes to questions of wages and conditions of service, we believe their retirement from cotton milling will he Telt even more than In the effect that retirement moy have upon welfare work, with which their names, particularly that of Thoa. F., are so indelibly associated- ?\ The great number of employee of the. Parker corporation gaare Mr. Lewis W. Parker a moat influential voice in all conferences as to mat ters-affecting employment, for if his views wero not accepted and he put them into effect anyhow, the cream of labor would have -settled at his mills. Herc again there ia reason to believe cotton mill workers are anx iously examining thc lovel of the . water io the. well. ~, i( 'iv?x . We rolicvo now cotton mill opera .

Wo have a more definite ld~M as to , Mr. Lewlo W. Parker. He has re , entered the practice of law. Of bia , ability In that profession then, ls no use to speak, as it is well known, j Biit, unless we are mightily mistaken, , he will be able to do more for labor . lng men than over before, for they j \ will trust, listen to and follow him as I . never In the days when, becnuse he . ac tat employer of labor, working !

Cm ol Ina for, relieved ot the enormous I burdens he ea,-ried aa head ot Ute r greatest cotton mill corporation in the ? state, he will havo more time to give , to work that,has always been close, ? to bis heart, v.ork for betterment of . the conditions ot that large number of our citizens who labor In the cot J ton milla. Instead - of indefinite vap orings of a demagogue, who, after I getting the votes ot such men. forgot ! them until there waa again need Of i their votes, there will probably be a ? definite program of endeavor in their ? behalf.

But that's not Parker, THE XE tl YEAH (Ry Elbert Hubbard.) There aro ouly a few groat dat?e in history, and around these dates swing the circle over nine-tenths of all the great na nu s in history. The first great date ls 450 H. C., which we call he Age of Pericles, wlum Greece was at her height. The second date ls the Year One th? Age of Augustus, when Rome bloomed ami blossomed. Hut tho importance of this 'luto bi revealed in the fait that we date time from thc birthday of One horn in au obscure Hutnun province, who??* short life has influenced th'" world beyond that of auy man who has ever lived. After the Year One the uext grout' ?late IK 1402, unforgettable for Colum bus, Mtchelanbclo, Leonardo da Vin ci, Gutenberg omi a hundred other names that can never die. Next we g?-t 177?), marking a vast struggle for human liberty, Unding its culmination in Amt rica, and wo wit ness the birth of a nation. The next date ls lH~?i. the yea- of tho Centennial exposition. wh?iii Amer ica was born again. Thui we arr shown the electric llKht. the trolley car. the telephone, tho typewriter; and we get the advent of women into thc world ol' business. The next great date in history IH 1915. This ls a pivotal year in the history of tho human race, lt ls a turning point in civilization: We have s?>en a catastrophe In Eu rope Ibo . 'lual of which has never oc curred lu all time. Wo have seen the organized forces. roprcKi'iuiug over half tho earth, or seif nee, culture, diplomacy. rellKlon, education divertud from their proper uso und pt ?HI huted to the naos of dis solution, destruction and death. Anterica was nurprisod, und now wo are sobered. Our feet are firmly planted On the earth, although ut tlmoR our bonds may bo in the clouds. Yet wo. see' things with a vivldnesn and a clearness which never before have boen Ours. We have bron si ripped of our hypo crisy, of our sophistry, and we know reality as never before. Yet America has been blessed supremely lu this: She is in a position where she gets tho perspective. We can not hope for Eu rope, now, to nee truth. Europe ls Hubmnrged- In cosmic sludge, and In hrr mud struggle logic, reason, sym pathy. love has boen thrown to the wanton winds. Usually on New Year's Day tho old year merely,, comes back. Hut this is a genuine New Year that tho world has never seen. Americans ure at - peace with each other as wo never have roon before Wo have gotten rid of many of our whims, prejudices, superstitions. In degree we hnv<r> eliminated nato aud fear and doubt, and the truth stands out limned against the sky. Happily, this Is the year of two great expositions, both to be held In California. The time could not have been more fortunate-aye, nor the localities. For once our attention is taken from the East nnd is directed to the West The Wost is coming Into her own. and it ls for California to voice the ideals of this now time-the year 1915. I California must bo the spokesman of our nspir?tf?'hs, ambitions, desires, ideals. . p' The tide of travel, which has usual ly set toward Europe, will bc direct ed to Californian-., w The ihtollbtpty'tho pdetry, the science, the llioratur^ and the reason, of the world Will b?\ assembled there.

This year for us ls bl? with promise -pr??iii? whick Al?t hud ''Muniment. lt is a wonderful time v which to live. To feel tbat.wc are taking part in the making of .a New World ls a won derful responsibility. Ah ,o, it ls a great satisfaction, tempered by the sense of responsibility. Wo are living in the greatest period the world has ever seen.
