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. To her the price of peac<
is comparatively insignificant. Shi
has Port Arthur and a nomina
control and possession of only j
part of Manchuria. Korea, w<
imagine, will have a voice in tin
matter of a semi-control of he]
territory hy Japan. China will
have a say so, and as it was before
the nations of the world will want
to dictate and at last Japan will lx
overwhelmed with peculiar environ
mcnts will at last amount to restrictions.
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

they suhmit and tolerate for

the past, it will continue for all the

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.

Misses Ituby and Pntra Swearen|

\ 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
