There is plenty to do in this World of ours,
There are weeds to pluck from among the
(lowers;
There are fields to sow, there are fields to
reap; , , :
There are vineyards to set on the mountains
steep; ..." "'.
There are roses to plant, and thistles to fell;
And homes to be rescued on hillside and dell;
There arc poor to be fed, there are children to
teach,
And a message of love and mercy to preach;
The fallen to lift, and self-pride to abase;
And every one fitted to stand in his place;
There are souls to be saved by land and by
sea;
There's work in great plenty for you and for
me.

"It is continued temperance
which sustains the body for the
longest period of time and which
most surely preserves it free
from sickness, ' ' writes Hum
boldt, when asked the secret of
his success. No employer will
keep in his office a drunkard, a
gambler, or a profligate, for the
very good reason that these vices
. tlVbVJUljr VtGUA9C2 vitw JVAJ , ftUK MOW
glut the mind with thoughts of
which business has no part.
Drink has become the curse of
the world. Whole battalions of
splendid young men who started
in life with glowing hopes have
been swept away by whiskey and
rum.
Man finds himself on a limitless
ocean with no knowledge of
whence he came or whither he
shall go. "All he knows is that a
Hand he has never seen has trac
ed the Golden Rule upon his heart,
hung a chart in his soul and plac
ed a compass in his hand. He is
also conscious of a pilot at the
helm, never seen but always
there; an angel commissioned at
his birth to pilot his frail bark
across the uncertain waters of
life and that consciousness is his
reserve power. We try to stifle
the voice of the mysterious angel
within, but it always says "Yes"
to rkrht actions and "No" to
wrong ones; No matter if we
heed or not, no power can change
its decision one ioto. Through
health, through prosperity and
adversity, beyond the reach of
bribery or influence, this faithful
servant stands behind us in the
shadow of ourselves, never in
truding, but weighing every act
we perform, every word we utter,
pronouncing the verdict "right"
or "wrong."
Our father and mothers need
all the kindness and sympathy
we can ever give them. It does
not only make the children
brighter, but the older heads,
whose locks are white from the
snows of many winters, are in
.sore need of kind words. Per
haps they have long ago laid all,
or most all, of their loved ones to
rest, and their burden seems
.greater then they can bear.
How a word of kindness and
sympathy helps them! There is
enough of gloom in this world
without "adding more by unkind
words and actions. Let u s not
so unheedingly permit opportun
ities for carrying sunshine into
the lives of those we love pass
by. A word of cheer to a strug-
diner soul is worth more than all
the roses we would scatter on
tiimV ,.ncVo onvar A wpWtyi a
a smile, a cheery ' 'well done, ' '
an affectionate look, will cause a
rift to break in the clouds and
permit the sunshine of life to
gladden the passing day of those
we love. Let us try faithfully to
throw the wealth of affection
about our loved" ones who are
fighting the stern battles of life.
Let us scatter our love broadcast
and pluck out all the thorns we
ran arm Ruralv arid certainlv will
our Father say "well done."

A Few Items About Things In This Busy
Farming Section.
The Baptist people held a song
service at the school house Sun
day evening. Prof . John Heines
was leader. ,
Rev. "Dick' ' Champion will
preach at the school house next
Sunday morning.

; HOME COURTESIES.
In the close relations of mem
bers of the same household and
the constant contact through long
association, there is apt to be a
lack of the friendly greetings
and delicate attentions which are
given to visitors and strangers
in the household. Children are
commonly not trained to sweet
courtesies in their treatment of
parents and one another.
Husband and wife do not pre
serve their first gracious care of
each other. Thoughtful and lov
ing little services sweeten home
life and pour the oil of joy over
daily experiences. When a hus
band or son is prompt and help
ful in placing her chair to her
table, what women does not feel
happier?
An act of courtesy cultivates in
its performer more appreication
and attachment. The spirit
which prompts little' attentions
and the habit which perserves
them will banish hard feeling,
sharp words and alienations that
naturally and easy come in time
of difference of judgment or con
flict of interest.
3,000 PRISONERS.
Over three thousand Russians
are now prisoners of war. Each
one i s some mothers's darling
boy. How they now doubtless
long for the home of their child
hood. How many hearts in
seasons of trouble have longed
for the scenes of an innocent
childhood! A conscience burd
ened with crime will, in calmer
moments, cleave to the rich fra
grance of earlier (Jays when the
sun shone so brightly and the
birds sang so sweetly and when
the little troubles could be wash
ed away with childish tears or
the blissful caress of a tender,
loving mother. "O, days of my
childhood, will they no more re
turn to cool this burning bosom
with the breath of peace!" Such
has been the wall of many break
ing hearts and the echoes will
reverberate through the world so
long as ,,life has passion." This
is the dismal cry that will render
the sweet test song of birds a
series of discordant sounds.
Even into the dark and gloomy
prison cell will occasionally be
wafted the fragrance of the
flowers of childhood and a holy
desire will steal into the heart
and give a moment's sweet peace,
a taste of heaven. It is when the
sweet and cooling springs o
childhood have been poluted by
the passions of flesh that we
realize our thirst and strive in
vain, to quench it. We dream
of innocent childhood, and
through the darkness of a mis
spent life we see the angel smile
of mother and feel upon our lips
the breath of a loving kiss, we
lisp our evening prayer and re-

we lay our tired body upon the

an awakening! We awake to
tread our weary way to the gal

vice and mingle our wail of woe
with the wail of the multitude,
and the procession is ceaseless

Ray Arledge Breaks His Right Arm By A
Fall Road Trustees To Change Part
Of Landrum Road.
Attorney J. E. Shipman spent

Rev. T. C. Croker preached t

morning and Rev. W. W. Jones

At a recent meeting o f the
township commissioners Robt.
McFarland, Marshal, was allowed
a salary of $30 per year for reg
ular service, and was also given
he repairing of the streets and
other work the town may need
done.
Trustees J. E. Shipman, J. , G.
Hughes, F. M. Stearns, and A.
McMurray, of the Central In
dustrial Institute, met Saturday
evening, rney expect to an
nounce soon the names of th e
faculty for the coming season.
Ray Arledge, youngest son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Arledge, fell
rom a bridge into a creek on his
father's f amy near .Columbus,
Wednesday, breaking his right
arm. Dr. Salley was immediately
called and set the wounded mem-
;r. When this was written the
boy seemed to be resting and the
wpund was not giving great pain.
The road trustees of Columbus
township are likely to change the
Landrum road beyond the Camp
bell place, doing away with that
long, steep hill. This will be a
good move and will be appreciated
by all who travel the Landrum
highway. The trustees also or
dered all roads in the township
repaired at once, and those , who
have the contracts for this work
will, it is hoped, ' lose no time in
executing the orders o f t h e
trustees. A little work now
would put the roads in good con
dition.
THE REAL JAP.
Just As Set In Their Ways As John Chinaman-
Newspaper Articles About Japs Sometimes
Misleading.
1 1 inevitably happens that
when you read in a newspaper
something about which you have
a particular and special knowl
edge you find the article packed
with misinformation. Does the
article relate to international
politics, it sounds well enough,
and you are quite convinced that
its writer was a man of broad in
formation. But if it relates to
an accident two doors from your
office, about which you know the
facts, you are liable (as you read
with wonder) to conclude that a
tenth only of the "news" that
appears in print is really true.
Take, for example, the article
"The Coming of the Jap" in Col
lier's, by one W. S. Harwood.
The whole East, undoubtedly,
will look upon it as an essentially
correct statement of the facts
about the agitation in California
against the Japanese. But west
ern readers of this Eastern
weekly 'will read with amazement
this article, which betrays real
ignorance and misunderstanding
of the feelings and sentiments
that inspire " Calif ornians in this
matter. Mr. Harwood begins
his article with a misstatement.
He leads his readers to infer that
the reason the present Japanese
immigration is objected to is be
cause a large proportion are
afflicted with "a loath s om e
disease" and for that reason the
Japanese government looks upon
their departure with fa v or.
Nothing could be further from
the fact. You might seek South-of-Market
all throughdiscussing
the Japanese question, without
finding a man who would base his
argument on the health of the
Japanese.
And as to this immigration
"being a contingent of which
JaDan is well pleased to be nd t
i- io onitA . certain that, so far
from being the dregs of the
noDulation. as Mrl Harwood inti
mates, we get here a class slight

ly above the average in intelli
gence. That is the universal
testimony of long residents of
Japan who visit San Francisco,
Mr. Harwood continues:
"It is set forth by those who
aregue in favor of speedy action
that the mass of the Japanese
now coming are an unclean,
morally depraved mass, reeking
with loathsome disease, threaten
ing, unless cnecked, to make the
white population urban instead of
rural, by driving out orchard,
farm and ranch labor; to be fear
ed not because of superior skill
save in stealing American ideas
but because of absolute unscru
pulousness in private affairs and
in business life."
It is difficult to conceive of a
statement which, while contain
ing elements of truth, is calcul
ated to convey a more misleading
impression than this. Mr. Har
wood concludes with a statement
almost as grossly false. ''While
the Chinaman is a Chinaman to
the last in dress, bearing and
spirit, the Japanese is precisely
the opposite he is an American
in dress, in character, in methods
from the first" Mr. Harwood
is deceived by appearances. Be
cause the Jap wears a white
collar, while the Chinese sticks to
his queue, it is no reason at all
for supposing that there i s any
essential change in the Japanese
character. There is' not. , The
Japanese have become and wi J
become no more "American in
character" than the grimiest
coolie that ever came out of the
narrow streets of Canton. San
