We take this method of nominal
ing a Southern man for Assistant
Moderator of the National Council.
We could name several men who
would honor the position of Modera-
tor, but since that is not to be, why
not select man from the South as
Assistant Moderator. Nothing that
the Council could do would give
home and courage and quicken de-
nominational loyalty more than a
recognition like this. 1t would give
notice to the world that the Congre-
gationalists of this country stood to-
day where they have railways stood,
on the side of human rights. 1t
would give Congregationalism in
this country new life. 1t would
furnish a living example of what
Congregationalism has done for the
people of this section. We there
fore nominate Rev. H. H. Proctor,
D. D., Moderator of the Conven-
ton of Congregational workers in
the South, and pastor of onr largest
Congregational church, a leader
true and tried, who by his training
and experience and accomplishment
has proved his fitness for this or for
any position in our great denomina-
tion.-The Congregational Index.

THE COMING OF THE PILOT.

III SOniAo VI thc tlbols
TY0E was the first missionary ever
i i seen I'm the country, and 1t
AgSS9fEN WAS the Old Timer who named
U&$aW him. Tho Old Timers advent
to the foothill country was pre-
historic, and his influence was In
tured to disagree with him, for to dis
agree with the Old Timer was to write
yourself down n tenderfoot, which no
one, Of course, cared to do. 1t was a
misfortune which only time could re-
pair to be n newcomer, and 1t was
every newcomers aim to with
all possible speed the style and Gus
toms of the arlstocratic old timers and
to forget as soon as possible the date
Of his OWL arrival. So 1t was as tho
Sky Pilot-fnmiliarly the Pilot-that
the missionary went for many n day
in the Swan Creek country.
1 had become schoolmaster Of Swan
Creek, for in the spring u kind Provi-
dence sent In the Muirs and the Bre-
mans with housefuls of children, to the
rnnchers' disgust, for they foresaw
plowed fields and barbed wire fences
cramping their unlimited ranges. A
school became necessary. a little log
building was erected, and 1 was APP
pointed schoolmaster. 1t was as school
master that 1 first came to touch the
Pilot, for the letter which the Hudson
Bay freighters brought me early ono
summer evening bore the inscriptions:

In Snluda County.

Within the last IL months Saluda
county has earned notoriety for its
atrocious murders. White men have
shot each other from ambush in Sal
uda, murdered unarmed men and per.
petrsted cold-blooded assassinations.
The docket OF the court of sessions is
now weighted down with cases OF PEI
cuiiar Righteousness. When this court
convened last week, not one of these
more serious c!ses was tried. Post
ponements for one cause, or excuse, or
another, were obtained and the juries
succeeded In bringing in a single con.
viction. This was, strange to mention,
in the case of a negro and his crime
was theft. He was sent to the chain
gang. Within two days he escaped
With various white men at large
charged with numbering from am
bush and shooting unsrmed persons,
how much worse is the condition of the
community that a negro thief Ia
"loose?"
In Saluda county 1t will hardly be
claimed that murder is q crime. Un-
less there should be q change for the
better 1t will come to oe regarded as
an ornamental accomplishment.

Divine service will be held at Swan
Creek In - at - o'clock.
All are cordially invited.
ARTHUR WELLINGTON MOORE.

On the whole I liked his letter.
liked its modest self depreciation, and
I liked its cool assumption Of my sym
pathy and cooperation. But I was
perpleXed. 1 remembered that Sunday
was the day fixed for the great base
ball match, when those from Home
as they fondly called the land across
the sea from which they had come,
were to wipe the earth with all corners
Besides, "divine sarvice" was an limo
walton in Swan Creek, and / felt sure
that, like all innovations that suggested
the approach of the east, 1t would be
by no means welcome.
However, Immediately under the no.
tice of the "Grand baseball match for
the pain killer n week from Sunday,
at 2:30; Home versus the World" i
pinned on the door Of the Stopping
Place the announcement:

PatrOniZe the Banks,

Every year the banks of this county
arc saving to the people of the county
many thousands of dollars. The farmer
who is compelled to borrow, If he has
any credit whatever Is able to borrow
cheaper from the bank than from the
merchant. 1t Is better to borrow
money and buy goods for cash than to
buy goods on credit. This is because
the merchants cannot afford to extend
credit as chcapIy as the banks. They
are not as familiar with the credit of
the borrowers as the banks are-it Is
not their business to be.
The farmer who keeps his MONEY in
banks Will necessarily acquire certain
business habits. When one spends his
money by checks he cannot but know
what he is doing. The check in itself
is a bookkeeping system,--simple and
crude but useful. One who carries a
q sum of money Is much more likely to
elbow it in" than one who has q bank
deposit All first rate business men
keep their money in banks. There Is
no reason why the farmer should not
be as good u business man as any other
mainland he will never be q suocess
full farmer until he is o good business
man.

A Real Opportunity,

Two years ago when 1t was proposed
to remove the Columbia Female Col
lege from Columbia, s. c., Lau-
rens thought she had an oppor-
tunity for material aud social adj
vancement and seized at what turned
out to be q twill o. the wisp" with
avidity. Every man deserves credit
for what he did, the harder he worked
the more credit he deserved. That it
was a bubble in the air that burst in the
open view was no fault OF his. Now we
have areal opportunity before us, m
thing definite and tangible. The Epis-
copal Convention of South Carolina
which met in Florence last week deter
minedto establish a school for girls In
this state. What is to prevent Laurens
getting 1t? Greenwood made the same
effort for the Columbia College that we
did, but was not discouraged, and as a
result has the Williamson Female Col
lege. Let us do as we'll and we will have
the Episcopal school.
Florence and Anderson are already
bidders and IL Laurens is to act there
should be no delay.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1904-05-11
Divine service will be held at Swan
Creek. in the Stopping Place Parlor,
n week from Sunday, Immediately
upon the conclusion of the baseball
match.
ARTHUR WELLINGToN MOORE.

There was a strange incongruity in
the two, and an unconscious challenge
as well.
All next day, which was Saturday,
and, indeed, during the following
week, I stood guard over my notice. en-
Toying the excitement it produced and
the comments it called forth. 1t was
the advance wave Of the great ocean
Of civilization which many of them
had been glad to leave behind sofho
could have wished forever.
To Robert Muir, one of the farmers
newly arrived, the notice was a har-
binger Of good. 1t stood for progress,
markets and a higher price for land,
albeit he wondered "hoo he wad be
kept up" But his hard wrought,
quick spoken little wife at his elbow
"hooted" his scruplcs and. thinking Of
her growing lads, welcomed with I'M
mixed satisfaction the coming of "the
meenister." Her satisfaction was
shared by all the mothers and most of
the fathers In the settlement, but by
the others, and especially by hat roll
licking, roistering crew, the Company
OF the Noble Seven, the ~missionary's
coming was viewed with varying de-
grees Of anfmosity. 1t meant a limita-
ton Of freedom in their wildly reck-
less living. The permit nights would
now, to say the least, be subject to
criticism; the Sunday wolf hunts and
horse races, with their attendant de-
lights, would now be pursued under the
eye Of the church, and this would not
add to the enjoyment of them. One
great charm of the country, which
Bruce, himself the son of an Edinburgh
minister and now secretary of the No
BILE Seven, described as letting a fell
low do as he blanked pleased" would
be gone. None resented more bitterly
than he the missionary's intrusion,
which he declared to be an attempt
ITO reimpose upon their freedom the
trammels of an %antlquated and bigoted
conventionality." But the rest of the
Company, while not taking so decided
a stand, were agreed that the estab-
lishment of a church institution was
an Objectionable and impertinent as
well as unnecessary proceeding.
or course Hi Kendall and his friend
Bronco Bill had no opinion one way
or h other. The church could hardly
affect them even remotely. A dozen
years stay in Montana had proved
with sufficient clearness to them that
a church was n luxury OF civilization
the west might well do without.
outside tho Company Of the Noble
Seven there was only one whose opin.
ion had value in Swan Creek, and that
we the Old Timer. The Company had
sought to bring him In by making him
ca honorary member. but ne refused
to be drawn from his home far up
emons the hills, wterp. he lived With
