In Trip estimation of most well in- i i--jt" . - j 'financial writer in New York, is .'the best judge of conditions affect- ling the business and social conditions of this country. Mr Clews in a re- fcent article writes that this country !iis today facing the greatest crisis in i it's rtistnrv ' smrl that unlpca crrpnf changes are soon to be had in our manner of work and play we will see untold suffering as a nation. He goes on ta say that unless we pro duce more and consume less that we will force the price of all living com- ImoditlPS SO Tlicrh that ix-o rn nrnf Vwan y w -) HI WW - VMllUvlf jthe, pressure and will suffer phy- jlsically. Such expressions as this from so eminent an authority causes a feeling of apprehension among thinking people and nves us in this community great concern for the 'future. When we look around our Sown county and note the working j j conditions we wonder that we can lever today meet the increased cost :of living and with winter approach ing and higher prices a certainty we i wonder what the result will be for fus. From all sides we find that va grancy is being looked into and va 'grants being made to work. In our neighbor city, Spartanburg, we find llfVtnt --r 1.: a : t svxxAi a wuiA-iiig man must nave a card showing that he is regularly femployed or else the city authorities give him, or her, a regular job for .the city This is a move in the right jdirection and if carefully pressed Iwill not only increase production but i'will better the living conditions for Uhe workman as well. Other cites ,and towns are working along the i'same line and producing results. As an illustration, take the condi tions in Tryon as they are today and jwhat they will undoubtedly lead to iior the future. Almost any day in the week one can see from five to - " w jjtwenty able-bodied men loafing Laround the streets and railroad yards jjdoing nothing. This is true at almost I any hour of the-day. Take the pro ducing power of ten men a,nd mul tiply it by six days in the week and by fifty-two weeks in the year and see jthe result. Suppose those men average in pay 20 cents an hour and work ten hours a day. That figures six thousand two hundred and forty dollars in one year. If the loss stoD- jped at this figure the community could stand it but unfortunately it does not stop here. Since work is the basis of all wealth this community has" lost what ten men could produce, plus the profit on this .production, plus the cost of maintaining these idle men thru the efforts of someone else who is working and worst of all the de moralizing effect on cur whole social structure. Idle hands, according to statistics produce more than half the; crime in this country the consequent expense of maintain ing our courts a tax that can ill be afforded. Busy men rarely ever get into trouble and are the happier as a result of their labor. There is a type of men in every community that works only when made to do so by sheer necessity or else legislation. This type is not peculiar to Tryon but is true of every community in this country. Realiz tng this, is it not time that public sentiment bring pressure to bear to Stamp out this idleness wit.li it's ter- f rible drain on our resources and cause to sbe enforced a vagrancy T: law that has Jain dormant for years? We have this ordinance, we have the vagrants all around us, we have the great necessity for increased production in every line if we are to be able to stand the high cost of liv ing this winter, 'why not the public sentiment lined up strong enough to enable our mayor and commissioners and police to enforce this law. If every busy citizen in this com munity discuss this great evil, not merely critizing our present , council for it's failure to enforce a law, with a determination to back up our of ficials in their actions at reform, within a few days we can hive every idler at work, the happier from the fact that he is a producer with the result of his labor in his hands and no longer a drain on these who are busy. .

We feel that the faith ful ministers are greaty rewarded for their week's work and prayer. No, Mr. Hamrick, the Methodist people are not offended in the least by you telling them them they pray most. Jesus of Nazareth was, of course, the supreme example of prayer. When the Northern and Southern M. E churches laid on the altar $167,000, 000 for their missionary enterprises within the next five years, prayer was the great dynamic force in all this work. August 29 has been set for a day of fasting and prayer and it is earnestly urged that this day be ob served throughout the Southern M. E. church. Rev. E. L. Shelton called, Saturday, on returning from New Hope, stat ing a good meeting, and conversion of fourteen souls. There is some quite satisfactory road work being done on route 1 just now. Many attended the farmers' insti tute Wednesday and feel much bene fitted thereby. Mr. Mack Moore was first to be seen pulling fodder. Miss Ijjllis and Mr. John Lyle Ed wards have entered , Stearns High School. Mr. Bradley and daughters attend ed revival services at Cooper Gap, last week. .Miss Nell Champion was the jolly visitor of the Misses Pack last week. Mrs. Dock Green was buried at the old family cemetery on route 1, one day last week. Mr. S. B. Edwards has sure enough learned to drive the Overland. Misses Esther and Sue Gibbs were Thursday after church guests of Misses Pearl and Essie Edwards. Revival meeting next week at Bethlehem, Mill Spring M. E. Church. Revs. Parker Homes and Hubert Powell will be Mr. Shelton's pupit help. , o "Why I Put Up With Rats for Years," Writes N. Wirdsor, Farmer. "Years ago I bought some rat pois an. which nearly killed our fine watch dog. It so scared us that we suffered a long time with rats until my neigh bor told me about RAT-SNAP.. That's the sure rat killer and a safe one." Three sizes, 25cl 50c, $1.00 sold and guaranteed by The Ballenger Co., and Carolina Hardware Co. -o Chinese College Girls. The most picturesque school In Nan king Is Ginllng college, a recently opened Institution, operated by five boards, presided over by a faculty of eight and including 18 girls. As this Is only the second year of operation, 18 Is a goodly number. Last year there were hardly enough girls to go around. The college is housed for the present in a charming old "gung gwan" or official residence belonging to the estate of Li Hung Chang, and once occupied by one of his relatives. For Chinese women to come into such an inheritance, even by renting it, is enough to make anyone enthusiastic. Only two years of college work are done at present, but a year's work is being added over autumn, so that it will soon tax the eight teachers to keep the class work up to the high standard that has been decided upon. Christian Herald. nigorous Mourning. "Germany's week of mourning over the harshness of our peace terms was rigorously observednit," said Major Frederick Palmer, the famous war cor respondent. "There's a story about the week of mourning from Berlin. A Berlinese assistant theater manager said to the manager: " Is our burlesque going to observe the week of mourning boss V "'Rigorously, sir, rigbrouslyr the boss replied. " 'Close down is that the ldear1 said the assistant. , - "'Close down nothlnerl' said th boss.

If the young man could only as jimilate very early in his life the fact that merely to live and eat and drink and sleep, and then die, is not enough, but that he must rob himself of many of the pleasures usually taken up by young men If he means to make his life of the highest possible use to the, world, he would set his foot on the pathway to accomplish something worth while. -'There Is no harm In billiards or pool or In dancing, baseball or card playing, or any one of the scores of different diversions and recreations open to young men. The natural In clination usually Is to devote a large part of the leisure hours of ' young man hood to such pleasures. But the youth who is really earnest In his ambition to do something worth while will dis cipline himself to resist such tempta tions during his early, formative years, for the whole fate of a man is largely determined by how he utilizes his plas tic years. He may be restricted by circumstances, by environment, by family ties In his selection of his daily work, but every young man, particu larly nowadays, has many hours that he can call his own, and It is how he chooses to use these hours that counts most and tells most. -Forbes Magazine. Shakespeare Law Unto Himself. A correspondent, wonders how such a phrase rs "piping time of peace" could originate. One might think it referred to the Indian's peace pipe, but Shakespeare was rather unfamiliar with the customs of American aborig ines. However, Shakespeare did what he pleased with English language.
