Il wish | had time to pay a proper
tribute to the loyal, patriotic, liberty
loving women Of the republic When
the war clouds hung like a midnight
pail and the nation was trembling in
the balance, these loyal women were
its truest friends, and stood closest to
our soldiers on the tented field. But
for their devotion and support in those
trying hours no one can tell what the
result might have been. They were
messengers of mercy on every field of
battle. caring for the wounded and aid
ing in burying dead. They will
never be forgotten while American his
tory is read. The records they made
were not those like Zenobia and Aspa-
STA and Cleopatra and Semiranis. but
like Debora and Ruth and Cornelia
whose ruling purposes in life were to
make themselves useful instead of re-
nowned. Good souls, Many of them
are gone from the throng OF the Iiv-
ing, but they left behind them a halo
OF light which will shine brighter and
brighter until the perfect day.

Is compelled to mix up in it, but we arc

have called Congress together rs soon as
the situation became acute. II he can

Of the capture Of pckin by the allied
forces is the one which should cause as
much concern as the usurpation Of power

certainly the American people do not

tcrcst is to preserve trade relations and
an equality of duties with our compctit-

tho maintenance of the integrity of the

be willing to see England, Japan and the

opportunities of trade with all Chrstcn-
dom.
"ln regard to tho missionaries and the
future effort to force the Chinese to aid
them and protect them, | am utterly op-
posed. We do not admit the Chinese,

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale Of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmotlcrs
never thought of using anything else for
indigestion and bilousncss. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard Of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out tho system and stop
tho nervous and organic action Of tho
system, and that is all they took when
feeling duh and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need Il few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

was no introductory sermon Bro
Wardlaw preached Il good scrmo,

Bro. ID. w. !liott was made mode
rator and j. Nj. Mcclure clerk, and
j. w. Stribling treasurer. We
moved off ON fast time. Oh, but il
is hot, and the water long ways
off, and not much good after you
get there. But we had a splendid
meeting of the old Beaverdam. 1t
was full of life and spirit. Full
time was given to Estate of Reli-

Many good talks were made by dele
gates. How the laymen can talk
when you get them started. They
beat the visiting brethren. This
first morning was a most delightful
meeting, full of spirit and power.
In the afternoon report on educa-
ton was the main thing of the day.
Bro. Shclor made a fine report and
DR.. Montague made a captivating
speech. If he comes your way, kind
reader, be sure to hear him.
The brethren came to do the
work in two days. The political
meeting at Walhalla, seven miles
away, would have the right of way
on the third. SO we agreed to come
back morrow and finish. 1t is
wonderful how fast brethren can de-
spatch business when they determine
to do so.
The second day it is as
hot AZ ever. This is Pleasant Ridge
church. 1t must have been named
in January, or its name must relate
to the people who are rs kind and
pleasant as can be. We have big
crowd to-day with lots and lots of
candidates. This is an off day with
the State campaigners. They go to
the associations to see the dear peo-
pie. What splendid fellows they
are. They are not afraid to shake
hands with anybody and they shake
like they mean it.
We discussed the old preachers
and took a good collection and made
lots of promises. Then followed
State Missions. The live minute
rule prevails. 1t must, because we
must get through, but the old war
horse, DIR. Bailey, was told to take
his time. He is never long, but he
always holds his grip until his
crowd gets in tune. They made
good pledges and gave some cash.
Each church in the Association un-
dcrtakcs to give for State Missions a
sum not less than ten cents per mem

$500. That is, perhaps, more than
they ever gave before.
In the afternoon Bro. McClintock

Brethren Nass and G.. Wardlaw

MILL TROUBLE
In North Carolina Object to Textile Union
May Slut Down.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., August lS-
The Erwin Cotton Mills, cue of the
largest in the State, will likely be
forced to shut down in few days
because of the organization Of n
textile mill workers union among
it's employees. About month ago
the organization was started and be-
fore the mill owners were aware of
its existence there were large mum
Der of members and the organization
had secured firm footing. Every
effort was made to stop the organiza-
ton, but to no avail and Saturday it
was stated that there were 2G0 mem
bers in this mill alone, in addition TO
another branch in the East Durham
mill. A few days ago some 10 of
the members Of the union were noti
fled that they would not be needed
in the mill longer than two weeks,
there being an agreement between
the employer and the employee that
a two weeks notice must be given
i'll before any discharges are made or
any of the men quit work. Satur-
day Mr.. Erwin notified all who were
members of the union TO quit at the
expiration Of two weeks. a special
meeting of the union was held to-
night, at which it is stated 40 new
members joined Notwithstanding the
position taken by the mill people.
This makes in all over 300 members
of the organization and as all will
have to give up their positions il
means that the mill will have to
close down for awhile at least. 1t is
said that one-half Of the mill will
close down in day or 80 and the
other half will have to close unless
hands are secured ut very rapid
rate.
1t is understood that there are
two men on the road for the purpose
of getting labor and some of these
new men have arrived. In nearly
every instance these men have Joined
the union before going to work and
the matter of putting down the union
is not being strengthened very
much.
There is no trouble anticipated.
They operatives say that everything
will he done in an orderly manner
and that the men who are given
their walking papers will quietly
seek other positions and the union
work will go on among those who
take their places.
The Erwin mill is one of the laru
est in the State and employs about
800 or 1000 hands. There are n
large number of these who are rep
resented 10y the 300 who arc in the
union, there being several in many
Of the families who work in the
mill. The general opinion is that the
whole employment will result in a
shut down of the mill.
Future developments will be
watched with no little interest by
the people in this section. Those
who are joining the union are not
asking for more pay nor shorter
hours, but simply claim the right to
organize for mutual help and pro
lection

The Wrong Way To Advertise.

A great many people in Pittsbuig
have heard of st. Jacobs Oil. A few
years ago, it was one of the best adj
vertised household remedies on the
market It's widespread success was
the subject OF general recognition,
and the envy of all competitors.
The property was considered worth
more than million dollars. About
this time radical change in the
management of the company was
effected. Immediate and pronounced
retrenchment in the appropriations
for advertising went into effect.
From that time on, the sales of ST.
Jacobs Oil showed steady and mark
ed shrinkage. To-day, one scarcely
eyer hears of it. A Baltimore paper
last week reported the collapse of the
company, which was due almost Who'll
y to a business policy based on the
belief that the company could exist
on the prestige of its former adyertis-
ing expenditures. Thus is recorded
the end of a medicine that few short
years ago brought fortune into the
Golfers of the company each year.
The absolute fallacy Of a business
policy such as that practiced by this
company cannot be questioned. AID
vertising is most effective when done
continuously. That old maxim about
the little drops of water wearing
away the rock is safe proposition.
Pittsburg advertisers generally believe
in continuous advertising. The con-
tinued heavy increase in the amount
of advertising published in The Times
is testimony in favor of continuous
advertising For the first two weeks
of January, The Times carried 1,155
inches more advertising than during
the same period last year. Such has
been the record for months and
months. All of which indicates that
the policy of depending wholly upon
the prestige of former advertising Is
not countenanced by Pittsburg mer-
chants, nor by the many foreign adj
vertisers patronizing the advertising
columns of The Times. Pittsburg
Times.
