sell by advertising and through
the usual channels and he goes
around among these innocent
mill people, unused oftimes to
the deception of agents, and i'm
poses upon them his worthless
wares at prices that would be
exorbitant if the goods were de
sirable.
He concluded by counselling
them to have a Sunday and OBJ
serve the day as it should be.
He enforced his argument by a
very interesting reference as to
how France went down when she
tried to blot out Sunday, Gods
holy day.
After the address Mr.. Sprunt
was surrounded by mill opera
tives who thanked him cordially
for all he had said.

TO FACTORY PEOPLE.
Synopsis of the Address of Rev.
Alexander Sprunt Before the
Factory Employers and
Employees.
rom The Rock Hill Herald.

The lecture of Rev. Alexander
Sprunt last Thursday night to
the mill employers and employees
abouuded In good points, as we
have stated already, the large au
dience present was delighted with
the address.
Mr.. Sprunt began by referring
to the Importance Of the mill in.
dustry in the South, furnishing,
as it does, pleasant and profitable
employment to so many Of our
families that before were depend
ent upon work that was not so
pleasant nd that oftimes bought
them in contact and comp tltion
with other and inferior races. He
assured his audience of his entire
sympathy with and respect for
the people who work in mills and
urged them to accept the things
he might say in. the friendly
spirit in which he would offer
some advice. He felt deep in
terest In the mill people and
would under no circumstances
say aught that was intended to
offend.
No ind ustry is more attractive
than the mill business because it
is lucrative and affords so many
opportu mites for ambitious young
men to rise to positions Of esteem
and profit. He mentioned many
instances, some of them known
to the audience, where young
men had risen in a few years to
places of distinction in their bus
lness by industry, promptness and
maintaining good character. He
offered much announcement
along this line.
At the same time, he realized
that where there are multitudes
of people thrown together there
is a multiplying of temptations
and sinfulness often prevails. He
then offered his hearers some
good advice.
One of the things he would
especially advise them against
was the leading Of a transitory
life. The mill operatives of the
country are seen upon every train.
1t is seldom the case that one en- @.
ters car without seeing there a
family moving to some other
mill. This constant moving does
nobody any good but the railroads.
1t cultivates a spirit of restless
ness and consequently unhappi-
ness and dissatisfaction. 1t seri
ously interferes with the Efficiency
OF their services because restless
and unhappy. Besides, moving is
expensive. He knew of one fami
ly who spent 5000 in one year
moving. Another spent 800 in
going from one place to another.
They are giving the proceeds of
their labor TO the railroads and
beggaring themselves. He knew
of one family that moved II
times In two years. The moving
of families from place to place
utterly destroys the home life
He dwelt upon the importance of
a home-not a place where we
merely eat and sleep-but a place
where to enjoy the blessings
which the home affords; where
We bask in the sunlight of each
others love; where we raise our
children to be good men and wo.
men, having the respect and es.
Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1899-11-29

adorn the hallowed spot for the
enjoy ment of ourselves and the
friends whom we are always glad
to meet.
The roaming about from pillar
to post destroys the spirit of sym
pathy which should exist betw cen
employer and employees and
there are times and seasons when
they need to stand by each other.
The moving about destroys the
confidence an employer would
like to have in his employee and
consequently the help which he
would like to extend in time Of
need is withheld. 1t encourages
many to destroy the trust eposed
in them by persons who are kind
enough to extend them aid. He
the lesson in conf
denca he was conveying by the
great manufactures Of the we'll
known Coates Thread. Many Of
the hundreds of employees who
work in the mill were born there,
have been raised there and are
pensioned there.
Another thing we would i'm
press upon them ls, don't gamble.
1t is an awful thing to gamble. 1t
is a crime against God and man.
A man is banded who is known
as one Of these, because he not
only loses respect for himself, but
the community loathes him.
There may, perhaps, on account
Of circu instances, be some pallia-
tion for a man to steal, but there
can be none for gambling. Some
men are spending their time and
money in the woods while their
women are at home struggling
for a living. An awful curse rests
upon the money obtained by gam
bling.
Don't be extravagant, urged the
eloquent speaker. The poor man
can be as extravagant as the rich
man. Easy living may be to
blame in some cases. Come easy,
go easy. The average man thinks
the preachers are we'll paid and
have an easy time. The average
mill family is paid better sala-
ry than the average preacher,
and the speaker said he would
prove it. The average Presbyteri-
an minister is paid a salary of
$547 per year, while the average
Methodist minister receives an
nually $40 as his wages. In each
case the minister is oftimes the
only bred winner in the family.
The average mill family have 3!
bread winners and they receive
a salary of 1882 annually.
What becomes of this money?
A great deal of 1t is squandered.
If you will go to the depot in
Rock Hill any night you will find
out how great deal of it ia 60
ing. And it is likewise spent in
doubtful pleasure.
He cOunselled economy and the
obtainment Of a home, where
there shall be music and singing
and flowers, and he besought
every parent to see that their
little children are educated. Their
minds are now in the moulding
state and education is so impor-
tant to the making of good women
and men and good citizens that
this sacred duty should not be
delayed or n neglected. They should
