V - ' '** * \ ' TO FACTORY PEOPLE. Synopsis ot the Address of Rev. Alexander Sprnnt Before the Jh'actory Employers and Employees. " rom The Hock Hill Herald. The lecture of Rev. Alexander Sprunt last Thursday night to tho mill employers and employees abounded in good points, as we have Rtated already, the large au dietice present was delighted with the address. Mr. Sprunt began bv referring to the importance of the mill in dustry in the South, fmnishing, <? as it doe?, pleasant and profitable employment to .so many of our families that before wore dependent upon work that, was not so pleasant, and that oftimes bought them in contact and conip- tition with other and inferior races. lie assured his audience of his entire sympathy with and reRpect. for the people who work in mills and urged them to accept the things he might sav in the friendly spirit in which he would olFer some advice. He felt a deep interest in tne mill people and would under no circumstances sav aught that was intended to offend. No industry is more attractive than the mill business because it is lucrative and afford* no many opportunities for ambitious young men to rise to positions of esteem and profit. He mentioned many instances, some of them known to the audience, where young men had risen in a few years to places of distinction in their bus iness by industry, promptness and maintaining good character. He offered much encouragement, along this line. At the same time, he realized that where there are multitudes of people thrown tocether there iB a multiplying of temptations and sinfulness often prevails. He then offered Ins hearers some good advice. One of the things he would especially advise them against was the leading of a transitory life. The mill operatives of the country are seen upon every train. It is seldom the case that one enters a car without seeing there a family moving to pome other mill. This constant moving does nobody any good but the railroads. It cultivates a spirit of restless noss and consequently unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Itseri onsly interferes with theifTiciency ol their services bocause restless and unhappy. Besides, moving is expensive. He knew of one fami ly who spent $200 iu one year moving. Another spent .$100 in going from one place to another. Thoy are giving the proceeds ol their labor to the railroads and beggaring themselves. He knew of one family that moved 14 times in two years. The moving of families from place to place utterly destroys the home life, lie dwelt upon the importance of a home?not a place where we merely eat and sleep?but a place where to enjoy the blessings which the home affords; where we bask in the sunlight of each Other's love* where we riiiu?? rtiir children to be good men and women, having the respect and es$050 to $lltoo a year. We want reliable and energetic men and women in each State to travel and appoiut agents ; salary $050 to $1200 a year and expenses, guaranteed and paid weekly ; no experience required, we instruct you.

Not. 1 8-wks. teem of all mankind, where we grow flowers and beautify and a^lorn the hallowed spot for the enjoyment of ourselves and the friends whom we are always glad to meet. The roamiug about from pillar to post destroys the spirit of sympathy which should exist between employer and employees and there are times and peasons when they need to stand by each other. The moving about destroys the confidence an employer would like to have in his employee and consequently the help which he would like to extend in time of n?ed is withheld It encourages many to destroy the trust reposed in them by persons who are kind enough to extend them aid. He illustrated the lesson in confidence he was conveying by the great manufactories of the wellknown Ooates' Thread. Many of the hundreds of employees who work in the mill were born there, have been raised there and are pensioned there. Another thing we would im press upon them is, don't gamble. It is an awful thing to gamble. It is a crime against God and man. A man is banded who is known as one of these, because he not only loses respect for himself, but the community loathes him. There may, perhaps, on account of circumstances, be some palliation for a man to steal, but there can be none for gambling. Some men are spending their time and money in the woods while their women are at home struggling for a living. An awful curse rests upon the money obtained by gambling. Don't be extravagant, urged tha eloquent speaker. The poor man can be as extravagant as the rich man. Easy living may be to blame in some cases. Come easy, go easy. The average man thinks t b n npAonlinra o rn nrnl I noi/) on/1 have an easy time. The average mill family is paid a better salary than the average preacher, and the speaker said he would prove it. The average Presbyterian minister is paid a salary of $547 per year, while the average Methodist minister receives annually $540 as his wages. In each case the minister is oftimes the only bred winner in the family. The averaire mill family have 2A bread winners and .they receive' a salary of $782 annually. What becomes of this money? i A great deal of it is squandered, j If you will go to the depot in j Rock Ilill any night you will find! lout how a great deal of it is go! ing. And it is likewise spent in ! doubtful pleasure. lie counselled economy and the : 'obtainment of a homo, whore' | there shall ho music and singingi and flowers, and ho besought I every parent to see that their ( little children are educated. Their minds are now in the moulding state and education is so impor, taut to the making of good women and men and good citizens that this sacred duty should not he i delayed or neglected. They should i read hooks and the pure papers, hut they should he guarded against hook agents and all other agents. An agent generally has That Throbbing Headache ?

Because they abandoned their former holdings for the sake of being farther away from the English. Were the English undesirable neighbors? It seems a safe inference when a whole nation gives up its homes and moves away. Why did the English follow them up? Because gold and diamonds were discovered in the new territory. What was Jameson's raid? An attempt by the English to possess themselves of this new land. By fair means or foul? Foul. Then are Jameson and his fellow conspintors still in disgrace? They have never been in disgrace. They are national heroes. Hut the English wer" at peace with the Boers at that, time? Yes. Then the raid was in open violation of international law ? Distinctly. An indefensible attempt to gain possession of a neighbor's country in time of peace'' Yes. What led up to the present war ? A desire of the English to control a country which was not their own. What is the ultimate object of the English? Treasure. And for what are the Boers fighting ? For their country. Will the British outnumber the Boers? About ten to one. Do these facts explain why the sympathies of civilized countries are wholly with the Boers? Thev do. TO ( I RE LAfiRIPPE IX TWO OAYM Take Laxative Hkomo Quinine Tab i.kts.
