nection as well as a host of friends
haec suffered a loss. Mr. Wells was

ing complaint was stricken at about
9 o'clock in the morning with apop?

Cotton and Substitute* Therefor.
Fibre and Fabric notes that some
people are figuring: out a shortage of
cotton for the season of 1910?11, and
thla, too, despite expectations of a
19,500,000 bale crop. It then says:
"One thing is lost sight of. How
much finished cotton yarn is in stock
in the Siuth, in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston and in northern
mills? The supply of yarn does not
figure in the carry-over estimates of
cotton made at the close of the cot?
ton year, but there is some in hand,
and it is no exaggeration to say that
at the close of a cotton year we have
on hand in yarn the product of more
than 500,000 bales of cotton, and this
is a reserve against stoppage of ma?
chinery and a balance against any
hold-up of cotton for fancy prices.
The high-price mania is subsiding
very materially and cotton must come
out of the clouds the same as other
staples. Wool is getting down to a
reasonable figure, and wthin a few
weeks some more definite price basis
will be fixed and business will in?
crease naturally. The development
of a cotton substitute made from
American flax is progressing finely,
and some of the many processes are
sure to work out successfully. In
American flax we have an unlimited
supply of fiber, once a plan is devised
to work it commercially. Skeptics
will make capital out of the flax fib?
er and the processing of it, just as
they did over the cotton gin and
much of our labor saving cotton mill
equipment, but progress has not been
checked for all that, and within a
few years it is reasonable to suppose
that the bright minds at work on the
flax problem will accomplish some?
thing commercially practical."
The Scholar in Politics.
The suggestion that the Democrats
of New Jersey nominate Dr. Wood
row Wilson as their candidate for
Governor has been received with
more than usual interest. As the
president of Princeton, Dr. Wilson
stands near the head of the country's
educators. But he is more than a
university president. He is an earn?
est student of present-day problems
and a vital force among men of af?
fairs. A Democrat from principle,
he has always taken a deep interest
in national politics, and might easi?
ly become a figure of national impor?
tance. He has been active in the light
for good government, and, though
never a narrow partisan, has stood
for Democratic ideals, Even if he
should not be elected, his campaign
for Governor is likely to be of value
to New Jersey in educating the voters
and inspiring them to demand a
higher standard of public service and
a higher grade of public officials. And
If he should be elected Governor of
thla important State, he will loom up
as a possibility for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1912.

Polk already in the field, the Demo?

The Suite Not a Hard Taskmaster.
The Southern Christian Advocate,
In its last Issue, calls the State a hard
taskmaster and says that the judges
are worked to death. We quote this.
"The State is overtasking this most
important branch of the public ser?
vice. * * ? We need more circuits
and more Judges. It is a penny wise
and pound foolish policy that for
j saving a few thousand a year would
run the risk of steadily undermining
public confidence in the promptness
and justice of our courts and of her
law, and would slowly sap by over
work the vital energies and efficiency
of the strongest and most efficient
and most important of our public of?
ficials."
Sev eral years ago the writer of this
article, when two judges seemed to he
unable for duty about half their time,
suggested that all candidates for a
judgeshlp be required to undergo a
physical examination. That would
give us s ?un1 men to start with.

AGRICTTjTL"HAL HIGH SCHOOL;
WHAT AND WHY IT IS.
A Discussion by Prof. W. IL Hand, nt
The Rural Life Conference nt the
University of Virginia.
So far we have failed to give any
definite meaning to the term agricul?
ture when we speak of teaching it.
What is the agriculture that we wish
to teach? Which subjects are agri?
cultural? In the first place, we need
t<> differentiate clearly between ele?
mentary nature study and esssential
*y agricultural subjects.
However, I am here concerned
chiefly with agriculture in the high
school. I believe that argicultural
subjects have a genuine educational
value. If the study of mathematical
formulas and physics formulas has
an educational value, why not the
study if fertilizer formulas? Dut I
cannot subscribe to the doctrine that
a teacher can teach agriculture with?
out any special training for it. We
do not expect teachers to teach Ger?
man without t*. knowledge of the sub?
ject, nor physics without a knowledge
of that subject. Why should we ex?
pect a teacher to handle agriculture
without some special knowledge of
it? Persistence In this doctrine is
going to make us m ^re dissatisfied
with the results of the teachings in
our schools than ever before.
In response to an urgent demand
for the better equipment of farmers,
and for some means by which farm?
ers' soons and daughters may be kept
on the farm, the agricultural high
school has been proposed as a pana?
cea. Such would prove a delusion. It
would be as wise to establish schools
for the sons of physicians with the
vain hope of keeping them all in
doctors' shops, or to set up schools
for the sons of lawyers with the hope
of keeping them in laweyrs' offices.
The sons and duaghters of farmers
will remain on the farm whenever
farming is made profitable and at?
tractive. Farming will be profitable
whenever sufficient business energy
and sagacity are put into it. What
the farmer most needs is a high de?
gree of general intelligence and busi?
ness training; things in which he has
been too long lacking, due to the fact
that business principles and wide in?
telligence have not been regarded as
necessary to farming. When farm?
ing shall have become profitable It
will then be attractive; and when the
farmer by his intelligence and his
training is able to cope with his com?
mercial friend, his lawyer friend, and
his doctor friend, he will be satisfied
with his lot. When the farmer lives
in as comfortable home as that of his
town neighbor, has the conveniences
of his town acquaintances, and is as
well Informed as his town business
competitors, the farm will hold him a
royal and independent citizen. The
farmer done not so much object to
hard work. The hoe and the plough
are not so dlstatsteful to him; his ob?
jection to them is that they are the
tools of the untrained man, the em
helms of unskilled toil and ship-shod
business.
The farmer needs skilled hands
and vocational training, to be sure,
but he needs a trained mind and a
cultured mind as well. To give him
only a vocational training would be
as great a blunder as to give him no
vocational training. He needs both.
To establish separate high schools to
teach agriculture to farmers' boys
and girls would be a grave mistake.
As yet we have not sufficient money
to maintain a single kind of high
school. To undertake to maintain a
dual system of high schools would be
folly. The agricultural high school
would not give the framer the broad
and liberal education which he need3.
The farmer himself would soon dis?
cover it. In fact, I have found not
a few hoys in these schools, free to
confess that they realize that their
education is not so broad as that of
the boys in the regular academic high
schools. Instead of dissipating our
efforts in undertaking to maintain
two kinds of half-supported high
schools, let us increase the efficiency
of the present type of high school,
put into their courses of study such
subjects as are necessary to train
boys and girls for farm life on the
highest Intellectual ami business plan.
Let us put into these high schools the
farmer's hoy and girl, the lawyer's
boy etui girl, the business man's son
and daughter. In the same high
school will be taught the cultur
subjects, the sciences, the agricultural
subjects. tile commercial subjects
and the manual and domestic art
All these boys will sit side by shie,
each taking such courses as best fit
him for his work. Every girl will
find what she most nee ds. Labor will
be dignified in the eyes of all, the
classics will be given respect by every
pupil In school, and the sciences win
be more serviceable to all. The In?
herent fatal weakness of the sepa?
rate agricultural high school Is that
it propagates and fosters class no?
tions and distinctions The single
hihg school with courses of study for
all is the only democratic high school
and it is the only economic one.

ing with the Sumter Collegians, Mas

TO PROBE MEAT TRUST.
Special Grand Jury Regina Work In
Judge Land is' Court.
Chicago. July 15.?A special Fed?
eral grand jury was empaneled by
Judge K. M. Landis, in the United
States District Court, today to hear
evidence in regard to the alleged vio?
lations of the Anti-Trust law by the
National Packing Company and sub
sidary meat companies. The jury
was cautioned by Judge Landis in his
charge to allow their actions to be
wholly free from the influence of the
often-heard argument that law en?
forcement will unsettle business.
"You may safely assume," continu?
ed Judge Landis, "that no legitimate
enterprise needs governmental ac?
quiescence in the commission of
crime. You will treat the statute to
which I have referred as being just
as much in force as are the laws
against stealing letters and counter?
feiting coins."
The jury was also, told to follow
the trail until the "real offenders"
are located.
"If your investigation discloses the
use of an alias, do not indict a mere
alias", said the jurist, "but follow the
trial whetever it may lead until you
have located, identified and pointed
out the real offenders.'
RUBBER VALUES JUMP.
Plantation Worth $150,000 Was Sold
For $800,000.
In reporting to this government on
opportunities in Malaysia for rubber
growing enterprises Consul-General
James T. Dubois, at Singapore, cited
as follow! an instance to show how
the investing public is sometimes
taken in the exploitation of the rub?
ber industry there:
"An estate was sold to promoters
for $150,000. The syndicate got an
old planter, who knew the estate, to
put a flotation value on it. He named
$25,000. The promoters were not
satisfieed. Another expert examined
and reported. His price was $35u,
000. British and American gold was
pouring into the country and the
get-rich-quick spirt was born. An?
other expert was called in. He was
told of the former valuations and
that were unsatisfatcory. He valued
the estate at $500,000. Just at this
time rubber took a big jump in the
London and New York markets, and
another expert was asked to report,
and he placed the flotation price at
$750,000, and the syndicate, in order
to have it in round numbers, made it
an even $800,000 and floated it at
this price. People fought for the
stock, the share Issue was over-sut)
scrlbed and many of them imme?
diately sold at a good advance. All
this was done within a few months
without the slightest improvement on
the property, except the natural
growth of the few hundred acres of
para plants which had recently been
planted."
Trained white supervisors on the
rubber estates are In demand, the
Consul-General reports, and there Is
a scarcity of labor and consequent
high wages.
CORPORATIONS PAYING UP.
Leal Than Half Million of Tax Assess?
ments Unpaid.
Washington, July 17.?Treasury re?
turns show that to date there has
been paid taxes of $2C,445,699 of the
assessments originally made, aggre?
gating $27,267.927 on account of the
corporation tax.
Of the remaining $822,000 about
one-half has been abated by the
commissioner of internal revenue for
various reasons, or is in dispute.
The expectation Is tha by the end
of the month the $400,000 unpaid
will be received. Already some of
the collectors have been obliged to
Impoee penalties for failure to pay
the asse ssments by July 11, this be?
ing due in some cases to ignorance
on the part of the corporations as to
the exact time within which the law
fhould be complied with. In some
quarters an impression has existed
that the assessments were not pay?
able until the Supreme Court of tha

THE SIN OF THOFANITY.
\n Udf Habit Tliat Is Silly and Inex?
cusable.
Few sins are more inexcusable than:
that of profane swearing. There is
something so wanton, so useless, so
brutal about its irreverence as to ex?
cite wonder at its prevalence.
Drunkenness and lust and gamb?
ling have an explanation, though in
no sense any justification, in the per?
version of strong natural appetite.
Theft and murder one can under?
stand in view of man's love of money
or his resentment of wrongs done by
a fellowman. But what appetite is
gratified by indulgence in profani?
ty?
The defense usually made that It
springs from a violent temper and ia
as uncontrollable as the passion that
lies behind it neither justifies nor
explains the offense. It does not jus?
tify, because it merely alleges one sin
as an excuse for a second, for a sec?
ond which is worse than the first. It
does not explain, for anger against
man does not necessarily or natural?
ly involve insolence towrard God. Why
should His name be dishonored or
His holy attributes be used in a light
and contemptuous way, in order to
emphasize our dislike of the charac?
ter or conduct of men? No man
would justify his conduct in striking
an innocent and unoffending child.
6imply as an incidertal way of vent?
ing his spleen upon some neighbor
whom he disliked and was disposed
to abuse. What would be the general
judgment upon one wno, when angry
at a man, spoke disrespectfully of a
pure woman or dragged into th? heat
of discussion her name in an insult?
ing way? Far less excuse can be
made for the common, the sadly and
shamefully common sin, of feather?
ing with proiane words our shafts of
angry abuse. It is an insult to the
purity of God. It is an act of brazen
impudence that scorns and condemns
and defies His sovereign majesty. Men
guard with their lives the name of
their wife or mother, yet drag in the
dust of foul speech the name that ia
above every name.
And most profane speech has not
even the flimsy and childish excuse of
anger to justify or palliate its wick?
edness. Too commonly it is indulged
in jest, as a humorous way of adding
I spice and flavor to the conversation.
This is sinning in cold blood and
with malice aforethought, instead of
in the heat if passion. It is m irder
in the first degree, the murder of rcv^.
erence and loyal regard for G**?~The
man who defamed his wife or
daughter in tu outburst of anger
could not be held so low and inex?
cusable, basely wicked as the mast
who sported in jest with the purity of
their name and used them as the
back ground or support of light and
base jokes. And swearers who gar?
nish their speech with oaths, who
clothe themselves with cursing, not
as a garment but rather as an orana
ment, hold high rank among the
fools who count it as a sport to do
mischief, among the scoffers who
have no fear or respect of God.
The excuse commonly made for
profanity is that it has become so ha?
bitual that the offenders swear un?
consciously. The plea is false, as is
shown by the fact that profane men
rarely forget themselves and swear in
the presence of a lady. It is an ac?
cepted rule in good society that no
gentleman will use an oath before
a lady. The fact that habitual swear?
ers can and do remember and apply
this rule shows that they can refrain
if they will. And the plea also proves
the aggravated character of the of?
fense. No man is excused for mur -
ded or theft or lying on the ground
that it has been so often indulged in
that it has become a second nature.
Such a plea can mean only that tho
more we sin the less we are guilty,
that if we indulge in sin until we
lose all self-control we may sin with
impunity and innocence. The reverse
is true. Men are responsible for their
wilful mutilation of their power of
self-control. They cannot spit out
venom, and excuse themselves on the;
ground that they had knowingly
swallowed it and could not refrain
They cannot cultivate an evil habit
and plead the fact in extenuation of
evil acts that result from the habit
To all pleas and excuses and apolo?
gies, there is one clear, complete,
ami crushing answer: "Thou shalt
not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain, for the Lord will not
hold him guiltless that taketh His
name in vain."?Christian Observer.
