Tost for Convenience,
Entirely apart from the many
other advantages of a Personal
Checking Account at the
Bank, the convenience of it is
no small consideration. The
t ability to make purchases and
I pay bills after banking hours
(without the necessity 01 always
having: a pocketful of
money is worth a great deal.

of losfffg money and yet you
always have all of your money
on hand and ready for use.
One is as liable to need money
before nine in the morning or
after three as between those
* hours. The Personal Check
Book settles the matter.

A Great Feat.
Tuesday we received the following
telegram from Rev R L Holroyd,
presiding elder of the Kingstree district:
"Kingstree district is out on
missions. That is to say .every church
in every charge in the Kingstree
district has met its assessment for
1 A1 n A n _ 1
missions ior iyi3. uur aunaayschools
are rallying to Brazil special
and we expect to succeed. June has
been set lapart as church extension
month. Our slogan is, 'Full collections.'
"
This is probably as fine a report as
was ever made in our connection.
There are in the Kingstree district
twenty-one charges and seventythree
churches. This report means
that each one of these seventy-three
churches has paid its mission assessment
in full. That is certainly a
magnificent report. Then note that
the Sunday-schools are rallying to
the Brazil special, and further note
that the month of June is set apart
especially for the church extension
collections. We presume that Brother
Holroyd proposes to neglect none
of the claims, but that all of them
will be paid in full. So mote it be.
If he can, by the next conference,
1 J 1 J 1? * 1_ A? .1
nave so aeveiopea nis worn tnai
each individual church will have paid
in full its assessments v for all pur*
poses, he will have accomplished a
feat that twenty years ago would
have been considered practically impossible.
We most heartily congratulate
the Kingstree district and its
presiding elder on this great achievement.
And now let us amidst all this financial
prosperity suggest to every
pastor that he make even more
strenuous efforts to bring about a
great revival of religion. The Kingstree
district last year reported 6,978
members. Mav there be at the en
suing annual conference a report of
more than 8,000. Let the spiritual
and financial progress be at least
pari passu.?Southern Christian Ad

the occasion very much.
Now that June is here, the June

The Hobble Sidrt.
Ever since the hobble skirt and
the other new wrinkles in feminine
finery put in their appearance they
have been the targets for unappreciative
mankind. First they were
roundly denounced from pulpit and
platform; later it was attempted in
some States to legislate them out of
existence, and finally in desperation
man turned for a weapon to ridicule,
of which the following is a sample:
Little girl you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no "shimmy" shirt?
Don't you wear no petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose?
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet
With your dres^ so very tight
| You're indeed an awful sight; '
Nothing on to keep you warm,, TZZ
Urazy jusc to snow your iorm. ,mtmt
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong. 3
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After while I do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.
But all this to no avail. The more
men denounced the fashions, the
more women determined to be right
up-to-date in the matter of wearing
apparel. The more men engaged in
metaphorical kicks, the more women
tightened their skirts so that they
couldn't perform actual kicks. Having
noticed this tendency we cannot
help wondering what would be the
result if men as a whole would take
I the view of the matter expressed at
a recent gathering of Chicago physicians.
These doctors went on record
as favoring tight skirts. Some
of them actually made speeches in
favor of the much-abused modern
dress. "Plaited and wide skirts are
the finest little germ carriers that
were ever invented,", said Dr Curry.
"When I saw the women of a few
years ago switching that wide, germ
laden skirt from a public street car 4
into her home I shuddered."
Dr Arthur R Reynolds had decidedly
definite views. "As long as the
individual can walk to her own personal
comfort," he said, "the narrow
skirt is a splendid thing. It is
not the germ carrier that the wider
skirt is. Moreover,if you have ever
noticed,it often corrects a bad walk.
American women think it is stylish
and pretty to*turn their feet out at
right angles while walking. This, a
narrow skirt makes it difficult to do;
therefore.it is a good thing. The Indian
walked naturally and turned his
toes slightly in. The narrow skirt is
gradually correcting a manner of
walking that was surely breaking
down the arch of American women's
feet."
Well, well! Maybe after all these
gentlemen have solved the problem. <
So all together, now, men! Boost
the hobble skirt. Boost it as you
would the home team when it is
