NOTES ANi> COMMENTS.
We trust that the campaigq now on
la the state and county, will be con
ducted on such a high plane tbat no
^unpleasant recollections of it will
remain after it is over.
Ellistt, Hemphill, Johnson and
Henderson, candidates for U. 8.
Senate, are making a strong cam
paign on broad lines and hare thus
far not indulged in any unpleasant
* or acremoDloui language towards
their competitors. ,

^ Evans and Lattlmer are quareMing
in the senatorial campaign. Evans
has called Lattimer a liar, and Lat-
timer says he has enough pt it. It is
thought more serious trouble will
occur.
♦♦♦♦
t The campaign of the candidates
for state offices is progressing rather
quietly; Tillman is still prodding Tol
bert and Tolbert seems to be getting
wore. Gunter is making it bot for
Btephenson and Stephenson is going
back at him with courage and ability.
MIU End Sale Agalng.
For the second time, the enter-
pricing firm of 0. E. Wilkins have
secured the services of Col. M. Wil
ber Dyer, representing the great mill
end syndicate. The Wilkins store
was closed all day yesterday (Mon-
day), preparing for this great event
and Col. Dyer is here today per
sonally conducting the sale. For
weeks preparations have been going
on getting ready for this sale.
Now what is the mill end sale? nat
urally asks one who has never atten
ded this sale. It is a practical de
monstration of the way the overcon-
geeted mills dispose of surplus mer
chandise. In the olden times the
mills took stock and the remnants
were charged to profit and loss ac
count. But the scrap heap got too
large and represented too startling a
proportion of capital to let go to
waste. Col. Wilber Dyer, the wizard
of the bargain counters of Gotham,
saw in this an opportunity. He or
ganized the mill end syndicate and
bought up all the remnants of these
great mills, and today he opened here
his second mill end sale and his six
hundred and fortieth since his concep
tion of the enterprise.
Col. Dyer is here in person at the
Parish Hotel to conduct tbie mon
ster sale. He has just returned from
his fifth annual trip abroad, where
< be has Introduced American methods
: and vindicated American push by
conducting a series of phenominally
successful sales in the big cities of
Europe. Even in the great mill
cities of England he has given the
staid old manufacturers over there a
, practical example of what can be ac
complished by American enterprise
and American methods.
Polite and incisive busy, Colonel
Dyer finds time to receive reportere
and friends and to give attention to
the minutest details of his wonderful
. business. He believes no country in
j the world offers the possibilities of
eur own to the young man who does
the business In his station thoroughly
, —who is fair and rquare with all
, interests intrusted to him and who
lives cleanly in habits, thoughts and
morals. We are slad to see Col.
Dyer again in Gaffney and hope be
may come often.

ext sermon of this series will
cached next Sunday night at
from tho text "Thou shalt not
ke the name of the Lord thy God
in vain, for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless that taketh His name
in vain.”
Ex. 20:2-3, ‘‘I am the Lord thy
God * * * * Thou shalt have no oth
er gods before me.”
In hie introduction Mr. Cree said,
“If men were faithful in obeying this
commandment they wonld, keep the
other nine. It is because men do
not put God first tbat they fail to
keep the other commandmente.
Dividing the commandments Into sec
tions, the first four, man’s doty to
God; the remaining six man’s duty
to man; be showed how perfect ie
this division for if we are faithful to
God we will be faithful to our fellow-
men. The worebip of false gods
makes false men. No man can rise
above bis idol. No man can be bet
ter than bis god.
Mr. Cree then made a oareful an
alysis of the words of this command
ment showing the meaning and rela
tive bignificance of the Hebrew words
translated “Lord” and "God.” The
word translated “Lord” is composed
of three Hebrew words meaning re
spectively, “He will be,” “He ie,”
“He was” and so Jehovah ie the eter
nal, personal, self-existing Supreme
Being. “The e«me yesterday, today
and forever.”
Next he diecussed the command
ment in its application to the chil
dren of Israel. How much they
needed it. He traced the idolatrous
influences by which the Israelites
were affected, showing tbat they
came originally from Padan-aram in
idolatrous Mesopotamia; tbat they
bad just (before God gave the Tea
Commandments escaped from poly
theistic Egypt where there were al
most as many gods as there were vil
lages, towns nnd fftmilies; and that
they were thee on their w*y to dwell
in idolatrous Canaan, the land of
Baal, Mammon and Moloch. How
much they needed such a command
ment. Even as Jehovah was giving
the Decalogue the Israelites on the
plain below Mt. Sinai were worship
ping a golden calf. Their bietory ie
a history of running after false gode,
and not until Jehovah sent them
captives to Babylon for seventy years
did they learn and obey the com
mandment “Thou shalt have no oth
er gode before me.” Sioce then the
Jews have had no other god.
Then Mr. Cree proceeded to con
sider tbie commandment in its appli
cation to the people of today. He
said, “It applies to ue because every
man needs a god, and be ie going to
have one, if he lias to make one.”
Even Voltaire said, “If there were
no God, it would be necessary to in
vent one.” Every man has some
shrine at which he worebipe. The
most degraded races have had some
sort of gob. Some men today make a
god of mone, somey of,worldly pleas
ure, some of fashion, some of self;
and they worebip them with ail their
heart, with all their strength, with
all their mind, and them only do they
serve. It is as impossible for a man
to live without an object of worebip
as for a fish to swim 'without water.
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan says, “All
life is worship * * * • * The ques
tion is whether the life and powers
of man are devoted to the worship of
the true God or the worship of a falee
one.”
“Again, tbie commandment applies
to os because of the false gods ebroad
in the land. No need to search heath
en lands for false gode, America ie
foil of them. In the Bible we read
of the cruel and degrading worship
of Moloch, the bestial and licentious
worship of Baal and the selfish wor
ship of Mammon. These forme of
worship are not extinct. They are
with us goday. Moloch ie still wor
shipped by the conscienceless em
ployers who greedily grind out the
life’s 'blood gOf helpless employees.
The worship of Baal is more common,
and ie manifest in the thousande of
fallen women who tramp the streets
of our cities, to say nothing of the
dark deeds of so-called society. The
awful sacrifice of character, purity,
life aud soul in this lustful and damn
ing whirlpool of impurity is nothing
short of Baal worship, and, alas, my
God, we do not have to go outside of
Gaffuey to find it. Mammou is still
worshipped. The greed of gold still
governs the hearts of many. Men are
still worshipping the golden calf.
Fashion is often a god. Some women
give more time and attention on Sun
day to what they wear than they do
to the good God who gives them the
day with all ite privileges. Some
meo think more of a fast horse and
a smart rig, or a cigar and a Sunday
newspaper, than they do of the wor
ship of the God above whose bounty
they live from day to day, not only
breaking this commandment but also
that other oue which says/ ‘Remember
theSabbatb day to keep it holy.”
In conclusion Mr. Cree set forth as
the strongest reason w h y meo and
women of today should heed this
command that “Jehovah alone can
satisfy and save the soul. Is gold
r Began HI* Series of Ser-
rTen Commandments San-

your god? You never get onongh.
Is sinful passion your god? It is a
consuming fire. Is worldly pleasure
your god? You are never content.
The God of the Bible alone can satis
fy.” As Paul sajs, “We know that
an idol is nothing in the world and
that there is none other God but one
God, the Father, of whom
are all things.” A boy mischievously
broke the largest idol of a heathen
household ; and when questioned by
bis master as to how it happeoed
suid, “Is it not possible that the small
idols united and destroyed him?”
“No,you little fool,’’said the man,“an
idol can do nothing,” “Then,” said
the boy, “how can you expect an
idol that can’t help itself to help
you.” The man thongbt as he never
thought before and finally sought the
only true God. So la it with all idols.
Is gold your idol? A panic may sweep
it away. Is worldly passion your
idol? It cannot satisfy today the de
sires it created yesterday. Jehovah
alone can satisfy. Jehovah alone Is
to be worshipped. “No man can
serve two masters; for either he will
hate the one and love the other; or
else be will hold to the one and de
spise the other; ye cannot serve God
and mammon.” Ye cannot serve
God and the world. Ye cannot serve
Christ and self. It is as Impossible as
it is to go east and west at the same
moment. ‘ ‘Choose yon this day whom
ye will serve.” Listen tonight to the
words of Jehovah, “Thou shalt have
no other gods before me.”

while the healing powers of its water
have been long known, it is only
recently that this spring has attained
prominence. It now has quite a
number of visitors and proper ac
commodation will make it a leading
up-country health resort.
A Uontie Hint.
In our style of climate, with its
sudden changes of temperature—rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day—it ia no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from ns by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschee’s German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s
bill, and perbapa death, by the use of
three or four doaea. For curing Con-
aumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. Get a sample bottle

Collect Names of Veteraos.
Comrades:—For years the State
has been making an effort to collect
all the names of her sons who vol
unteered in the State on Confederate
service daring the Confederate war
to incorporate them lu an authentic
history which it intends to prepare
on the part her sons took in that
struggle for her constitutional rights,
and, in order to Ho so, has appointed
suitable coamittees to get them.
Hon. W. H. Edwards, of Chester, is
chairman of this Confederate Dis
trict, and I have been appointed
chairman for Cherokee county. I
have appointed Felix Davis and Ira
Hardin for Cherokee Township,
Moses Wood and D. A. Thomas with
others for Limestone Township, M.
M. Tate for Draytonviile Townahip,
T. M. Littlejohn for Gowdysville
Townships, J. R. Brown, Drury
Scruggs and Joseph Price for Morgan
Township.
The last legislature made a email
appropriation for books of record.
The books are in and, one for each
township and are now in the bands
of the above named men. Now let
all old soldiers.living and all who
honor the memory of those who fell
in the paths of duty will please con
fer with these committees and give
them all the information they can of
our soldiers.
We want the name of every Con
federate eoldier tbat enlisted in
Cherokee couoty. What regiment
company and brigade he served in^
the name of his captain and a!I pos
sible information about each one of
them that he and hie deeds may be

Cotton Olnaen Reports.
Wm. A. Neal, Jr., of the United
States census depsrtment, was in the

Interest tbs ginners in meking
prompt reports to the government on

ment will issue three reports during
ths season, the first tbs middle of
October, the second the middle of
December and the last at the close
of the eeason. With these reports
issued regularly the farmers would
have something more reliable than

An Argument For Social Frankness.
It is best to be sincere, as a family in
Germantown recently found out They
bad been entertaining a distinguished
novelist from abroad who was not alto
gether acquainted with society’s way
of saying things it does not mean. The
time came for her departure, and as
the host was banding her to the cai^
riage be said very courteously, “I am
sorry you cannot stay longer.”
To which came the unlooked for re
tort ‘‘Oh. but I cau!”
There was only one course open. The
trunks were taken down, the carriage
sent away, and. to the consternation of
her hosts, the lady re-entered the
bouse.—Philadelphia Times.
Red Snow.
In the arctic regions early explorers
were astounded to find large areas of
red snow, but the phenomenon is now
familiar ti men of science, who know
that red snow, like a green garden
fence, is due to the presence of unicel
lular algae, the only difference being in
the coloring matter of the protoplasm.
It is said that acres of snow are fre
quently covered In a single night by
these tiny plants.—Good Words,
The Climate.
"Don’t you think yoo bavo a very
changeable climate?” said the stranger.
“No,” said the native. “It changes
fast enough when It’s pleasant but
when it’« disagreeable it hangs on like
grim death.”—Washington Star.

Advertising it called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment than
the proprietor who oversees
it Other things being
equal, nobody should be
able to write more convinc
ingly of the articles he of
fers for sale.
In a store where the employer sella
goods side by side with his clerks it is
me that the employer will not be the
beet salesmen.
The reason is simple. He
knows the goods from A to
Z. He probably has pur
chased them. He knows
his aims. His arguments
cany weight because they
are convincing.
The same arguments pre
sented in the same way,
with the same enthusiastic
spirit, the same knowledge
of detail, would attract
new customers if presented
through the advertising col
umns of this paper.
If yon have not tried it,
why not begin?
