WHAT HAS JAPAITGAINH Already Japan is l>oing ovei shadowed by the big Russian bet aided by the "big stick" of "long rider," the fawning American pet pie who look through the Rooscve glasses and other nations who woul underestimate the little yellow m tion and regard it a peril, if i power. It is of Russia, that is K Witte we see more said by ever nation than of Karon Komlira in a that is said of the peace treat) While it is true that Japan has b the war established a lasting an undoubted reputation for braver) endurance and military tactics, yi the nations would rather say tlui Japan had the advantage bein nearer home and better prepare than to give her the real credit t which she is entitled in suecessfull; COliU'lldillL' :l f<n? <if nmni times Iter strength and wealth, am the little she has gained in thi desperate struggle does not nearly eonipenrate her for her great los of life and expenditure of money the suffering and hardships endured .hepan should have lteen reimbursed She should have received an in demnity.

Japan and Russia will not pea cn hi jr hold the Island Sakhalin. A RESTLESS PEOPLE. In the beginning, as far back in the past as we. have any record of, when Adam and Eve were lirst placed in the garden the spirit of rcstlcaoiicss and discontent stcined / ( /' to pervade tlu'ir nature and an un- c controllable desire to test the com- c inund not to eat the forl>idden fruit seemed to take possession of Evo at least, and she must of course persuade Adam. There, where they seemed to have all that heart eould I wish, and no work to do, nothing hut to enjoy, no cause for jealousy, L no grounds upon which to base a suit for divorce, yet they were not 1 satisfied. As the world advanced ' and increased in population and in- ! telligenee, the same spirit of rest- ' J lessncss, discontent and a desire for ^ a change has characterized the human family. Generation after generation people grew tired of their n rulers, kings and queens if by ac0 clamation did not abdicate were der posed or assassinated by the people. ' Wars were precipitated to effect the change in the affairs of the nation, If for which the people clamored. Religion, the churches suffered at the hands of a restless people who - desired a change, tired as they were ,s ot their spiritual leaders ana aa11 visors, and to accomplish their pur1S pose preachers were murdered and their followers massacred, all for a change, many imaginary and some for real causes. Today the people 'x are no less restless than in preeocding centuries. As we grow in popu11 lation, intelligence and civilization the same spirit obtains. Not satistied with any one thing for any great length of time a change to |y them becomes necessary and just as i_ soon as the thought of a change ;)f begins to agitate the minds of the i, people, tlie Spirit of restlessness xt being the father to the thought, with marvelous rapidity this idea of a necessary change grows, until the people become actually wild and L's heedless of aught but that of a ^ change, so it is a change with hut little thought of what the real re,e suit of such a change will he. The v people get tired of their preachers IV _i a. i l ..t ii... ami wain a cnuiigc, uiou ui uic iy officers of the government, of eor^' porations, of benevolent and secret u* societies and want a cliange. Manj' c* to let well enough alone, and if "the u> change they find they are not bettercd they suhmit and tolerate for y a while, until another wave rolls over them, demanding a change. | We suppose as this has been for all the past, it will continue for all the *- future ages. " Santuc Tidings. September 4.?What can we do It on this the new of the moon, d Even if we did have a temperav. ture down to ">4 degrees last week it is "up yonder" again now. n Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bobo and ' little madam were here on a visit *y to their daughter Mr. It. (J. A. 11 Jeter last week. Misses Ituby and Pntra Swearen| gen, of Edgefield, are here on a \ visit to their sister Mrs. Ii. I.. (1 Shea My. Miss Lizzie Pitman, of Green >t wood, is visiting her aunt Mrs. Dr. lt J. T. Jeter. Mr. Jinnnie Moss, wlio has a po^ sit ion at Bessimer City, N. C., is home on a visit to his parents, Mr. o and Mrs. R. E. Moss. y Miss llattie Moss, who lias been v on a visit of several weeks to her , grandmother at Blaeksburg, are expected home this week. Mr. Roy Whitlock, of Jonesville, V was here a few days last week visits ing relatives. Mr. Brooks doing, of Union, was ' here on business one day last week. Mr. W. O. Jeter, who has the wood and blacksmith shop here, - worked two weeks in the powerR house at Neal Shoals doing more r, piping work. . Mr. E. C. llow/.e, of Union, was here last week getting evidence that ' there was no impartiality in the r? Constables have l>een coming r around quite often but are not get- I . ting any whiskey. Others may scent it, as evidently it is being i ' sold, for certain movements arouse J t one's suspicions. i There is much hurry at the dam I now and men are being worked on ' "long hours" as there are 110 ] changes especially with the engineers f ' at the hoisting engines. ( Mr. .1. .1. Lit tie john, of Jones- f ville, had a quantity of lunilmr 1 sawed on his place near here last 1 spring and it is now being loaded I for shipment to Jonesville. This t will take quite a while. f< There was a little wreck here last f week on the railroad. The train e came uncoupled and as the front part slowed down, the other?* w .oeVtral car-5?ran against it'. No 1; ar was derailed but were knocked ?ff the trucks, three being injured nul are disabled. There were fears once tliat the Methodist parsonage here would be noved to Carlisle, but the members mving the matter in charge have igreed to let it remain, and to have ihe house repaired. Mr. Reynold Dwen, son of the pastor, Rev. T. B. Dwell, has the contract. The rainfall for the month of August was 10.87 inches, very heavy, and it was damaging to crops. Corn was injured on low lands and cotton was made to shed. Times, though, are not hard yet so that it is like trying to live on corn-cob soup in January, and it may not be sp hard, but corn will tie considerably scarce. It was not drifting, neither was it a wild goose chase that I got into, but the thing was planned months ago, and I had lieen working, pitching my plans toward it, i.e., the ii ..P vH/r;iMUIl Ul tllU liiircviug v?i uiv County Baptist Association, which met at the Mt. Lebenon church August '24 and 25. I went, and I saw, if I did not conquer, I guess. But I certainly had a very pleasant time, but the weather was hot and the heat stuck mighty close to a fellow. The meeting was a very good one, instructive and entertaining. There were a good many prominent men visiting and representing the various benevolent objects of the denomination. The churches were not represented as fully as was hoped, j Quite a number of the committees appointed a year ago did not have t their reports ready and the minub s bad to be held back some waiting ' for them or have new men appointed 1 to report on the spur of the moment. I Some of the churches showed up well, having come up to everything ' apportioned them, and some over, and they were proud of it. T guess ' it might do to give the list of ollicers 1 elected for the next year, which are, 1 B. F. Kennedy, clerk; E. \V. Jeter, I tr<MiMiir??r L'.vi W Smith. I reelected. The next meeting place 1 appointed is with the Salem church at Santuc one year- hence. Taking into consideration the, fact that the time was moved up j one week by the executive board to' avoid as near as possible conflicts ^ with other associations so that the j money agents could get around some | of the churches were caught off their j guard and consequently had iin-1 nartial xcDorts. but that mav not ( One thing that is calculated to "chill" is the tendency on the part of some to hurry through with the ' meeting as if it was an unpleasant task, better get ofT quickly so they can get lmck to the every day walks ' of life. This is a bad precedent, to dispense with the introductory and missionary sermons and jumb- j ling up things just so they can got1 back home. Others think that 1 what is worth doing along the line in this work is worth doing well, otherwise make no pretense to it. The people of Mt. Lebanon did well entertaining, and smiles and pleasant lights in their eyes evidenced that they enjoyed having the delegates and visitors with them as those representatives were in being there themselves. It had been about twenty-six years since a meeting of the association had met there and they had been inviting it for three years, so the meeting was very, very welcome. I like to go anywhere when I know that I am welcome, and sometimes one sees things which leads him to believe that he is not, though they say you are very welcome. Hut not so here, actions speak louder than words. Personally, 1 had a most pleasant time socially. 1 confess that while that was not altogether my object in going, it did figure largely in my planning. Social feeatures of such meetings mingled with the business makes the life of them more worth the living. For a home I was assigned to the hospitality of the family of Mr. I). H. Williams and assigned up>n request, and of course when one )s assigned to a home by request of that home, don't you know there is a grand welcome awaiting them. Mr. Williams is a < very staunch friend of mine, and if i I should sue for his support in anything honorable I believe I would j get it. 1 One night, upon invitation, 1 ' <pent under the hospitable roof of ' [)r 11 1?
