was what those who saw Hurd, the
magician, last night enjoyed.
The house was comfortably uilcd,
and the audience manifeste 1 the Keen

PROFANE SWEARING.
WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
AGAINST CHILD LABOR.
National Association Formed in Which
Cleveland and Tillman are Leaders.
New York, July 2:».—An organiza
tion to he known as “The National
Child Labor Committee,” has been
formed in this city and at the first
meeting to complete the organizaion
and elect officers it was announced
that the committee has secured as
its general secretary Samuel McCune
Lindsay, commissioner of education
in Porto Rico.
Among those interested in the new
organization are, Jane Adams, Felix
Adler, Mrs. Emmons Blaine, A. J.
Cassatt, Grover Cleveland, Cardinal
James Gibbons, Bishop David H.
Greer, Adolph S. Ochs, Hoke Smith,
and Senator Tillman.
In speaking of the work of the com
mittee, Mr. Lindsay said:
“The National Child Labor Com
mittee desires, wherever its co-opera-
tion is requested, to investigate the
condition under which children are
engaged in gainful occupations in all
parts of the country, and help create
a healthy public sentiment in favor of
giving every child the best possible
chance to make the most of its life.”
TILLMAN TO SEE PARKER.

Conference.
Washington, July 2d.—Senator Till
man has received a cordial invitation
from Judge Parker to visit him at
Esopus, and the South Carolina sena
tor left here last night for New York.

nominee.
Building in Gaffney.
Workmen are hustling on the three
brick buildings that are going up in
Gaffney. Timbers are being put on
the Settlomyer building and the brown
stone and marble columns in the body
of the first story are indications of
the splendid appearance the building
will present when the three stories
are finished.
The National Bank building, corner
of Frederick and Limestone streets,
under the energetic work of the con
tractor, Mr. Jones, of Charlotte, N. C..
and his workmen, is rapidly taking
siiape and is presenting some idea of
the substantial character and beauty
of the building when completed.
The A. N. Wood buildings, which
occupy the site of the Live Stock
Company's stables on Limestone
street, contain three storerooms of
modern architecture, with pressed
brick and plate glass front. L. Baker’s
carpenters and the Gaffney Brick
Company’s workmen are doing the
work on these stores. They will be
ready for occupancy in a few weeks,
and we learn that they are all rented.
Pastor Granted Vacation
The session of the Limestone Pres
byterian church has kindly granted
I the pastor, Rev. W. R. Potter, a
month’s vacation. He and his family
will sojourn a while at Ixive Springs,
' and after Mr. Potter gets a rest he
will hold one or two protracted meet
ings in the l Hinds of the Enoree
Presbytery.
There will be no regular services in
the* church until the 4th Sabbath in
August.
The Sabbath school under the effi
cient control of Col. Wardlaw, the
superintendent, will convene as usual
each Sabbath morning at 10 o’clock.
WHY TILLMAN LAUGHED.
Entertains His Little Friends.
Master Willie Gaines entertained
, about twenty-five of his little friends
on last Tuesday at a birthday party,
at the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. A. B. Gaines, on Victoria avenue.
Appropriate refreshments were
served and the little fellows had a
gay time.
This, perhaps, is a very common
habit, taking God’s name in vain. It
is thought to be gre ving more com
mon. and has become a custom among
ladies as well as men in some sections
among a certain class. There maybe
some significance in the fact that the
English language is fertile in forms
of expresson in which profane ideas
are couched and conveyed, in view
of this facility for finding suitable
words to convey profane ideas the
question might be very pertinent:
Are the English speakjng people a
peculiarly irreverent people and prone
to take God’s name in vain?
There is a tendency to popularize
this habit. Even from childhood we
hear such expressions as “good gra-
| clous,” “my goodness,” and similar
expressions in Christian homes and
society. Who is “gracious” or “good
ness” but God? In these, doubtless,
are couched the germs of profanity,
while seemingly such innocent ex
pressions. The vicious nature of pro
fanity is often hidden, and it is even
made to appear commendable by
those who ought to condemn it. Did
you ever hear a good man repeat an
incident and with a degree of
gusto incorporate the oath as an im
portant part of the recital? Many
writers, too, inject it into their news
paper articles and elswhere, either
the word in full, or as if ashamed of
it, give the first and last letters of the
word, which can be well understood.
Much of the light, popular litera
ture of the day is honeycombed with
it until the reader becomes unfortu
nately familiar with the language
which finds a permanent place in the
memory, there to antagonize the keen
repugnance felt toward profanity.
These well known facts need only
he mentioned to show the tendencies
to popularize the habit of profane
swearing.
Why is it? There must be a cause
for it. What is the underlying desire
or influence which leads so many to
resort to the profane oath, repeat it
or laugh at it in others? There may
be several causes.
The idea that it is smart may be
in some minds. Many boys, perhaps,
begin from this feeling.
Emphasis often leads some to use
a oath. A speaker or writer feels the
simple word is not emphatic enough,
and here ready to hand is the old-time
emphasizer, an appeal to God’s
. name. The oath is administered un
der certain forms of law to bind the
witness to the truth. Under oath his
' statements are considered more cred
ible and convincing. The idea spreads
to every day life with many. Again
the idea of cursing is prominent. One
is provoked at another and wants not
only to condemn, but to call down
curses on his head. And often there
is a tendency to exhaust the whole
vocabulary, to inflict the most dire
anathemas on the victim of our
hate.
Perhaps, however, the real, but
often unconscious cause is enmity
toward God. Satan, God’s enemy,
hates and would discredit His sanc
tity. He easily persuades men, wo
men and children to profane that holy
| name by using it. lightly, flipapntly!
Many are ready to fall into this trap.
Some, doubtless, have their eyes
| holden to the designer of this suggest
ion. An evil heart, having never
learned to love God, is only too ready
to lend Itself to the undermining and
destroying that sanctity, which Is
‘ God’s peculiar glory, so dear to Him
yet so annoying to the natural heart.
Sober thought. After all what is
the true status of profane swearing?
Is it smart? Does it emphasize? Can
it really render our words more cred-
ible or convincing?
Can we curse any one or anything?
It would lie a sad thing if we could.
For the most part used by the
| thoughtless and debased it would re-
quin* the protecting hand of Jehovah
to protect the lives and comforts of
men from the withering influences of
I these curses.
: Does it destroy the sanctity of
God’s name?
Necessary Conclusions.
1. Profane swearing is uncalled
for and useless.
2. It is not sensible. Dr. Daniel
Baker once said—I quote the idea:
"The devil puts a bait on his hook to
catch men in all other sins; but in
profane swearing he throws them the
naked hook.”
3. It is rude, impolite and un-
: gentlemanly. If any proof is needed,
| Imagine a man using profane oaths
; in the home of his neighbor, in the
| presence of women and children,
I men or society.
4. It is a sin, an awful sin against
the loving Creator, Redeemer and
Benefactor of man. A venomous
stroke at His holiness and His throne.
The suggestion, even, comes from the
foulest enemy of God, goodness and
man.
What part shall we take in these
Satanic designs? Shall we lewd our-
I selves as instruments to perpetuate
! and popularize such a monstrous
! habit?
Let us remember God is holy and
His name to be revered.

less that taketh His name in vain.”

Blackburn’s Mistake.
[New York Times.]
“We Southern nu-n,” said Joe
Blackburn, ‘often look at pretty wo
men as much as we would at picture^,
admiringly, courteously, but never
impertinently. It was in this way
that I not long ago rested my orbs
upon a very handsome young woman
who was walking up and down the
platform at the station at Washing
ton. waiting for her train.
“Soon she turned and saw me.
“‘Rubber!’ she exclaimed, and
shrugged her shoulders with a frown.
“I took off my hat.
“Madame.” said I, “I beg a thous
and pardons. I took the liberty of
admiring you because I thought you
were the real thing.”
A Nice Gift.

seventy feet back, and is an exreo-
tionally nice place: and we, the mem
bers of this church, wish to assure
Mr. Jefferies off our appreciation for
his kind deed. We trust God will bless
tis in building there soon and that He
will reward Mr. Jefferies for th** gift.
We will give the public a financial

Good Crops.
We met a gentleman recently who
