The TEMPERANCE SCHlSMI
IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
The Whole Matter Rests on the Def
milton of the Duty Of Inter Church
Federation ComrSttee.

Columbus. Ohio. May 21.-The Pres
byterian general assembly today re-
ceived and made a number of reports.
including those of the board of home
missions and the board of education.
The assembly adopted resolution de-
claring that sl.000.0OO is the least sum
which the churches can be asked to
give to enable the board 10 properly
carry the work through the coming
year.
Rev. w. R. Evans. moderator of the
Welsh Presbyterian church. announced
that movement had been started in
that body. looking To union with the
parent church. The announcement
was received with applause.
Developments in the temperance
controversy aroused by the antagon-
ism of the anti-saloon league To the
inter-church temperance federation
came rapidly today. The standing
committee on temperance referred all
overtures affecting the attitude of the
church toward the league to the COM
mittee on Dolity. which decided to
recommend that no minister of the
Presbyterian church as such. could be
an officer or member of the anti sa-
loon league: that he could participate
in the work of the organization only
as an individual. At the same time
the standing committee on temperance
adopted resolution asking the stand
ing committee to define the duties OF
the permanent committee on temper
ance. which represents the church in
the inter church federation. The
whole controversy now hangs on the
definition.
Supporters of the anti-saloon league
are endeavoring to have the work of
the committee confined TO promoting
temperance along educational and
scientific lines. leaving the present
field entirely 10 the anti saloon league.
In presenting the report Of the board
OF education. Rev DIR. John F. Carson
OF Brooklyn placed emphasis on the
need of encouraging young men to en-
ter the ministry. Taking up the sug-
gestion that more Young men might
be attracted IL larger salaries were
paid. he declared that Young men who
sought the pulpit simply because they
were paid large salary were unfit
Tor the ministry. He urged larger lib
.rality. however. in behalf of an cdu-
Gated ministry and a heartier willing
ness on the part OF members Of the
church to give up their sons to the
high calling.

the scene OF action, stimulated by
whatever force or motive, is of small
sequence, Harper and Clinkscales
and Major B. F. Sloan. The tangi-
BILE results are now. In evidence. A
trio of modern store rooms, with
solid plate glass fronts. shelved and
countered for modern business con-
yenience. And are these stores oc-
cupied, too? Let's see.
Long before they were finished
the Sloan store was engaged by Sum-
mer e Holloway, from Newberry.
This enterprising firm has already
on display very complete line Of
DRY goods, shoes, notions, etc. One
of the Harper -Clinkscales store
rooms has been taken by Messrs. w.
A. and ] M. Witsell as the Witsell
Bros Supply Company. The other
one accommodates the large dry
goods stock OF Hunt & Harper, who
q few days ago vacated the store now
occupied by Mr.. s. D. Cherry, mer-
chandise broker. y Mr.. w. A. Witsell
and Mr.. j, NJ. Witsell are from Ar
kansas. where, they have been en-
gagged In the wholesale grocery busi-
ness. s
Now here is trio OF business es-
tablishments which the trading pub
lie, from self interest, cannot but
reckon with. Hunt e. Harper have

sion OF the broad walk from the Cit

Corner completes an ideal business
block that presents an unbroken
front, except at the intersection of
Depot street ~
The recent completion of Walnut
street is Of much convenience to per-
sons from Townville, and other sec
tions south OF town.
Seneca has reversed the adage,
+. Westward the Star OF Empire takes
its way" We have yet to notice the
busiest section Of town and to our
< mind the most important section,
that possibly because sour hobby is
production. Aside from farming In
terests. whirring machinery is the
solution to our growth as . city.
The Seneca Iron Works Is not only
a success as profitable proposition
to its owners, but 1t Is valuable
plant to the town, to the county, and
also to adjoining counties. Such en-
terprises as this are town builders,
city makers. Mon who can saw and

steel always command good wages,
and spend their money when they
make 1t. When you encourage busi-
ness Of this nature you are casting
bread upon the waters with no un-
certain results.
Another enterprise, managed by
people who have never asked favor
of the public except on q basis of
merit, Is the Seneca Fertilizer Com
pany. The thousands of tons Of high

have demonstrated their value in the
fields. 1t is nothing to the consumer

The Chamber OF Commerce Is in
Its second year. and while 1t has been
criticized for It's inaction anu leth-
argy, yet IL 1t Gan rightfully claim
only part of the credit for the past
years developments, 1t would be-
en- tiled to commentator. And our
Council has been censured, but the
censure, just or unjust, has only
served as a stimulus to renewed ef-
tort to its naturally progressive
members, aud we are all aware that
several measures have gone to their
credit, by which the town as q whole
IS much benefited. We are one OF
those persons who believes that hon
est effort, along a right line, will al
ways bring desirable results, whe-
ther such re- ats are Immediately
apparent or not. Who knows but
that the Chamber Of Commerce is
the indirect force that has wrought
the marked improvements Of the
past twelve months.
And what are the improvements,
do you say?
Things useful and beneficial may
be brought about by a process 30
gradual as not to attract much at
tention, but let us sum up Just bit
and see IL we are not justified in TAX
ing courage from our own success.
On October 18th, 1905, the Cconee
Inn and the Palmetto Hotel were de-
stroyed by fire. Mrs. Anderson's
boarding house was burned, and
little frame building next to w. H.
Moore & Co.'s was blown out by dy-
Mantle, and 1t Is interesting to note
that this building was used by v. B.
Swami twenty years ago as a ware
house. Now recall the scene in this
section Of the city on October 18th.
1906, and then see what 1t Is to-day.
The charred and fire-riven walls of
the two elegant hotels stood somhre
sentinels over what was then the
East End terminus of the business
block, except the Moore and Doyle
one-story buildings. The remark
was often heard: "Will they build

able fact that many people manifest
a prejudice against the most substan-
tfal home enterprises In the very
face OF the knowledge that they are
the key to our SUCCESS and growth.
The Livingston wholesale grocery
concern, coal station and ice plant,
.iimpresses one as being the center OF
business gravity. especially In the
fall season. They are right beside
I the Southern railway with their own
car tracks, and handle their local
3ity that makes the work look like
q nicely planned game In which the
drm holds most of the trumps. The
cotton oil mills, warehouses, GIN
Sneries. lumber mills, ETC., in this sec
tion give everything busy appear
ance. A watchman Is kept on duty

year ago Mr.. Adams location would
have been considered an of stand,
and might have furnished subject
for debate as to whether There's
more in the man than in the LAM"
but since circumstance has
thrown both the man and the Lam
together, we have an ideal aggrega-
tion of all that ia up-to.date in edi-
bles and general supplies, presided
over by Wright and Lowery, with
Mr.. J. Q. at the helm.
G. H. Mayhew, with his cement
plant, has been prominent factor
in building up and identifying the
town. His work on the public walks
and for private residences have given
entire satisfaction in every instance.
Evidences OF this enterprise may be
seen In every part of the city.
