* Tito .Times party for Jamestown
will be tinder the personal
supervision of tin- editor ai d his
wife. It is intended to lx? a trip;
full of educational value to each
member of the party. We expect
to have a ''good time*', hut we!
mean to make the trip helpful as
well.

We are told that a large basketful i
of letter.-, was received l?y tin- sheritl
<rf Cherokee county from all parts of <
the State asking permission to witness
the hanging of 'i'oni Harris,
the murderer, at (iaffney last Fri- .
day. "There is no accounting for
taste," and that's a fact. The morbid
curiosity of some people is to he
explained on the basis that there is 11
very much of the brute in some
people.
* * #
It does seem that the advocate of
whiskey selling and whiskey drinking
would groy to be ashamed of
- in af>out all tho^gly opmee that
come to light. ^ i wonder that
there should ne a wave of opposition
to the drinking and selling of |
the damnable stuff. That there is J
such a revulsion of public sentiment,
is patent to any thoughtful student'
of the times.
* * *
Ho not fail to read our offer on i
page one. We are meeting with
great encouragement in our plan to
conduct a party of twenty-five to J
Jamestown Exposition. From every
auction of Fnion county we are re- :
cciving letters; and the interest in ,
our contest is growing every day. i
The heauty of the scheme we are i
working lies in the fact that so large '
a number of contestants will in the !
end he successful. Twenty-five (
people ? ten school hoys, ten school \
girls, and five lady teachers. Get i
your votes in as rapidly as possible. 1
W e will publish the list <<f the'names
and votes in each issue. ,
# * ^
One of the favorable signs of the j
times is in the fact that many of ,
the men at the head of great indus- <
trial and commercial institutions 1
are showing an interest in the moral *
welfare of the employees. President j
' Finley, of the Southern Railway, f
has delivered several sne?>clw.a
- r v. . i
business men and to the employees Jl
of the road. Recently he spoke at !l
Spencer, X. upon the occasion ^
of the opening of the Railway Young' |,
Men's Christian Association huild- si
ing. This building was made pos- 8
si hie hy the liberality of the inan-||j
agement of the road. The address ?
of Mr. Finley is sensible and help- j
fill. Co-operation between employ- a
er and employee is the keynote to h
this address. It expresses precisely ''
the thought that Jesus Christ gave
to the world nearly two thousand ,.|
years ago. It is just this attitude e^
in the part of employer that will get (,J
the most good out of the enterprise
/and that will l>e mutually helpful.
"How much is a man l>etter than a tl
sheep!" Manhood above money, oi
righteousness and not riotousness,
' < '
ft ' tAAaJMOfcifc iifaiiMii i \mmH ? '
mind above matter?there are Home
[>f the principles of Christianity that
even the business world must learn
if it reaps the richest results of its
enterprise. We have never met
Mr. Kinley, but our respect for him
is greatly increased by his Spencer
speech.
WORKING WITH A HEAVY HEART
There is no use denying it, a man
who tries to do Ins best in the stern
battles of life has his hands full,
even when the conditions are favorable.
Hut it does not require so
very much manhood to keep steadily
pressing on under such conditions.
The sunshine and flower?
and singing birds and green fieldi
make it easy for a man to sing at
he carries the load. But when th<
dreary days come, when the bird?
cease their singing and the cloud?
hang low overhead it takes couragt
of a high order to pass on with tin
burden that each moment grows
heavier. And there are a greai
many dark, dreary days! What ;i
history is being written in humai
lives each day! That man you niel
today seemed hardly willing to speak
to you kindly, "(iood Morning!'
He had a eloud upon his face am
his lips were drawn down closely
together. Do not judge him harsh
ly. You know nothing of his hcavj
burden. There may he a sick wift
or child at home; there may be business
losses of which you nevei
ilreanu'd; some good, true friene
may have passed away. The shadows
:.re falling across his pathway,
although you do not see them, lb
is going forth in the stern strengtl
of a high resolve, perhaps, and bu
for just this high-souled eouragi
would long since have sat down In
the wayside t?? perish. Let us rem

always a time i^r calling and re
turning calls, Mooking sweet an<
happy, merry and gay, bowing an<
congratulating, forgetting the pas
and thinking as little as possibt
alnmt the future. No such times i
is hut natural that any places o
interest in or al*?ut town should b
popular.
For several months friends hav<
been saying You will have man;
callers during the holidays." h><
on Wednesday, February the thir
teenth, being the fi.st day of tin
thirty-third year of the reign o
Kuang Hon were prepared for thos
who came. Tea and watermeloi
seed were passed around to the oik
hundred odd callers, who suppei
and cracked and talked and went ?u
to make other calls. Thursday tin
number went up to about thret
hundred. Friday it snowed in the
morning, but the syn coming out
ater, the visitors again began t?
!ome and some two hundred were
received. Saturday was a good day
ind live hundred came. Sunday
we* wen glad for a rest from callers.
Vonu were allowed to come in?-not
veil a cart of women from the yeoiii'ii
who seemed provoked that 11icj
vere not invited in to see the for ign
bouse at any time. All were
nvited to the chapel. From Saturlay's
experience we decided to close,
lours for a week, and the week following
set aside three days, having
pecial services each day, before in iting
them in and 11 march- the
louse. This might havc|jq9pione
or the two weeks hut forthe'faet
hat it seemed impossible tO" put
side other pressing work. Februry
twenty-sixth, seventh and eighth
,ere selected as the three days on
,'hich most country neonle would
e in town. The side veranda was
elected as suitable for speaker,
ingcrs and hel|>er8. Chairs and
ihles, the bahy organ, mottoes and
owers, and even ;i looking glass
nd a |?iir of vases were adjusted,
tenches were put in the yard. \Ve
I most felt like We were going to
ave a camp meeting. Mrs. \\\
Ingene Sallee, with her school girls,
inch delighted the crowd which
ad gathered in the yard, with sevral
gospel hymns. Instead how- >
yer of sitting oti the benches the
iger listeners stood on them to see]
< well us hear. Then wc preached,
ftcr preaching we closed the gate I
i the east of the yard, conducted
ie guests through the house and
it the west gate. This we did four
icecssive time- during the day. j
Gate* were opened at 10 a. m. and
closed at 1 p. 111. On Tuesday the
| numlier had run up to one thousand,
one hundred and ten. To keep
' sweet, to manage a new committee,
and to have so many pass through
i your house in one day is not easy'
and yet they say ''Today is not the.
big day. Tomorrow and the next
day you will have more than these."
But ou Wednesday we had a hard
dust storm and only five hundred
and ten came. These however had
a much letter opportunity of hearing
the gospel. With Dr. A. D.
Louthan of our mission, and Mr.
N. S. Hann, of the Methodist Mis,
sion to preach; and with Misses
I Peterson and Mulligan of the Meth.
I odist Mission and Mrs. Bailee's
I school girls to do the singing. We
had a good day of it. We could
\ wish that the next day might have
> a rain, or a snow, or a dust, storm
s for Thursday was the day they all
, said, and so it proved to he.
* j Thursday at ton o'clock Mrs.
. J Hann was at the organ. One ??r
two heljK'rs had arrived hut a dozen
or more were asked to come and
? were needed. The crowds were I
$ coming. Already several hundreds
k were in the yard. From the city.

in the meantime Mrs. I^awtoncomes
with the hymn hook. The singing

conies forward. The helpers
j come in one hy one. Among them
| Mr. and Mrs. .Sallce. How glad
I we are to see them. The crowd is
. too large for a few to manage one of
the helpers whispers "Stop Mr.

crowd, well we knew that roughs
take advantage of such occasions to,
create disturbances, and in such a
f crowd (for there were now over a
r thousand) there must he many ras^
eals. Why had we not gotten sold.tiers
