Jarolina Christian Endeavor union, during the two weeks' field work Mr. \ L.ehmann will visit 20 places in the " state, holding conferences and rallies vith the societies already in existence 1 n some of these places and helping n the organization of new ones. At " i recent meeting of the executive rommittee of the State Christian En- 'I leavor union held in Columbia the " tinerary of Mr. Lehmann for this two veeks of field work was prepared, and t will keep him on the jump for the sntire time he will be with the South Carolina Endeavorers.

At the 1 recent meeting of the executive com- 4 mittee of the State Endeavor organ- ^ ization the services of Mr. Lehmann 1 were secured, and South Carolina En- 4 deavorers took up their share of tke 4 all-South Carolina Endeavor work fbr 4 the next five years. One of the aulas 1 of the Endeavorers is for 1,000 ntow Christian Endeavor societies in tme ' South in the next five years A South- 1 em organization has been peprfectro, and all its work will be toward t]C5; 1 the SoXtj Karl Lehmann has been c'hmseo field secretary of the Southern Endeavor organization and he is de .oting his entire time to the work ft J2 Southern States. Mr. Lehmann is 1 veil known in this State, where he has : been on several previous occasions. 1 having spoken in many of the pri n- * ripal cities. His work as field repre- ^ sentafive will aid the efforts of the 1 State union greatly. The South Carolina Endeavor* rs are planning to have a big conv* n- 1 tion in Laurens in November, and Mr. Lehmann will be one of the speakers. Alarge number of Endeavorers, 100 or more, will go from Columbia alone, and the meeting will greatly help the growth of the organization. There are some 50-odd societies in the St^te, and each will send a delegation to the Laurens convention. Sumter, Char- ( leston, Darlington, Newberry, Green- ^ ville, Spartanburg, Liberty, Seneca ( and others will be represented by < arge delegations. The Clinton society will attend in a body, and sorue of j the Columbia societies will nearly | reach this quota.?The State. , STAMP MUST RE ' ATTACHED TO PROXY. J Columbia, Sept. 18.?Corporations ^ icwly organized, or holding meetings ( for the election of officers, mav over- - ook one of the important paragraphs n the emergency revenue law relatng to proxies. Prior to these meetngs it is customary for corporations :o send to each stockholder a proxy ;o be used in case the stockholder annot attend the meeting. If this proxy is sent in and used at such neetings, the law requires that a revinue stamp of the denomination of 10 ents be attached to the proxy and inly cancelled and filed with the rec>rds of the corporation. A ruling of .he treasury department, received by he collector of internal revenue, on .his subject, reads as follows: "A power of attorney, or proxy, 'or voting at any election for officers )f any incorporated company or association. and authorizing the proxy ? .. . ,.~u " v, Mum i-upacity upon ail qufisions or matters presented at the itockholders' meeting, is subject to t i (ax of 10 cents only, and when a lower of attorney, or proxy, is grant- y >d for a corporate meeting held for . >urposes other than the election of [ iffieors, such power of attorney, or y iroxy, is not subject to any tax."

The boneless tongue, so small and weak, 'an crush and kill," declares the Greek. The tongue destroys a greater horde," 'he Turk asserts, "than does the sword." 'he Persian proverb wisely saith, A lengthy tongue?an early death." )r sometimes takes this form instead: Don't let your tongue cut off your head." The tongue can speak a word whose speed," ?ays the Chinese, "outstrips the steed." Vhile the Arab says this impart: The tongue's great storehouse is the heart."

Lexington, Sept. 20.?The regulai term of the court of general sessions for Lexington county convened at It j'clock this morning with Judge T 3. Sease of Spartanburg presiding Not a single jury case has been triec today, as fast as the grand jury woulc aring in indictments the prisoners would enter pleas of guilty, thus saving time and expense, and in each instance the court took this into consideration in pronouncing sentences. The feature of today's session was the strong, able and brilliant charge )f Judge Sease to the grand jury when he called that body together s few moments after 10 o'clock. Briel ind to the point, the court called attention to the reign of lawlessness existing throughout the State. South Carolina, perhaps, is no worse than >ther sections of the South in this regard, said Judge Sease, but certainly -how. ic o a ??vi v ?o c* t? ?uc uuu vai icu iiiiiuiciiv; jetween the crimes of the South and ;he crimes of the North. This vast iifference is due to the fact, nc loubt, said Judge Sease, that in the ^Jorth persons are punished when ,hey commit crimp. Human life it* x>o cheap in this State?and this is jrought about largely through the arrying of concealed pistols. Judge lease scored pistol toting in all its 'orms and urged the grand jury to go nto all cases with a will and determination to see to it that no person scapes who is guilty, but at the same ime no one should be indicted for retty differences or from envy or latred. Judge Sease made it plain it the outset that he was master of he situation and that he was going o run the court with fairness and dis>atch. lures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Core, 'he worst cases, no matter of how long standing, re cured by the wonderful, old reliable Dr 'orter's Antiseptic Healing Oil.

Let's enumerate a few of I them and see here is the change in o ' the fashions, in society, in church t worship and the singing. Then the h r version of the old Bible has been t changed from the authorized to the g revised and then the conduct of church members. Why, Mr. Editor, you can't t . tell a church member these days from n ; a non-church member by their lives. C ) The church member swears, gambles, p drinks, commits adultery just the 1 same as the other fellow. Thus has s I the standard of religion been lowered tl I till it has become a joke. Hell ^ , has been modified. All the fire and t brimstone has been eliminated, which p makes it a bright, clear place and so t the world moves on in its pleasure and 1 luxury and the devil is just doing g j about as well as he wants to. Now , this is a right dark picture, so let's t , see 11 we cam picK up nttie some- |j t thing on the other side for encour agement.

It is a good rule in life to appeal lways to the highest and to the best 1 one's fellow man. We saw the ther day where a big town out in ndiana had some road signs which ead in the usual commandatory tyle. They told of speed limits and nes. But these were taken down nd replaced with others that make n appeal to the milk of human indness in the heart of the infatuted automobilist. On the side of very sign seen as one approaches the ity they read, "Don't Speed. Look ut for Little Children." And on the ide seen by persons leaving the city ley read, "Thank you." That looks to us irresistible!?Ex.
