Dog Bites Young Lady.

Gaffney, October Especial: Miss
Rosa McCraw, the pretty 15-year-old
daughter of Mrs P. L. .McCraw, was
bitten by small dog yesterday after
noon while trying to relieve the animal
from fit of choking. The young lady
inserted her finger in the throat of the
dog when he bit her severely on the
hand. Mr.. Brown Lowe, who is the
owner of maidstone, which has been
used extensively within the past few
months, was soon on the scene and
the stone adhered to the wound for
more than forty hours. The young
lady has many friends who hope that
she will experience no further trouble
from the bite. .

The Lexington Dipatch Of last week
contained display advertisements of
eight banks in and near Lexington.
We are glad to see the banks adver-
tising, not alone because it creates
more business for the newspapers but
because it shows a spirit of enterprise
and helps any bank that will call to
the attention of the pubic that their
business will be appreciated. 1t is a

enterprising and accommodating

JUDGES

/ things will he swept away som" day,
and tn" only thing that will remain
is character.
Not alone Is this the chief end or
all material things, but it Is the
chief end Of Christianity. The only
purpose Christ had when he came
here and flooded the darkness with
the light Of Truth was the creation
Of new order Of men and women,
He himself was the first of the new
order. He did not come to organize
political party, nor formulate IL
creed, nor write n book. nor build
an empire, nor amass fortune, nor
scheme for social power or political
prominence. He came here and
in Himself gave us an example of
tn" lofticst type of life, and taught
us how to live this kind of life
He was tn" incarnation of His own
teachings, and He has shown MS
how To- incorporate His Truth in our
lives.
Improve tn" breed by making all
tn" units Of society better. Model
tn" life of the individual on the plan
Of Cnrisi's life, suiIusc the whole
of society with the spirit Of Jesus,
and all good and desirable results
will follow.
lut"mp"ranc" will pass away, for
tn" genuine Christian will not man
ufncturc poison or drink it himself.
Poverty will vanish, for If all men
were genuinely Christian an equal
opportunity will be guaranteed to
all.
Monopoly would lie impossible.
Monopoly is robbery, and robbery
could not exist where the spirit of
Jesus prcdominatcs.
Child labor will vanish. The de-
struction of child life in the mill is
the result of capitalistic greed. This
spirit OF greed would not exist in
society animated by the merciful
spirit of Jesus.
False ideas of success would pass
away, for Christianity teaches that
success is not what man has, but
what he is.
The supreme need of the times is
fully expressed in the topic was
called upon to discuss at this mass
meeting, namely, "Good Citizen
ship"
The purpose Of Christianity is the
of good citizens, and
the splendid vision of the greatest
man that ever lived, Jesus, the
Christ, will never be realized until
all men and all women become the
living, breathing embodimcnts OF
His Spirit and teaching. Then, and
only then, will we have the golden
age. The age of gold will pass
away for the incoming of the golden
age, when men and women filed
with the spirit Of the Golden Rule
will march up to the altar and con-
secrate their lives to the good of

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.


Continued from LIST page.
welcome any method that has II ten.
dency To- benefit tn" race and hell
humanity to higher things
am of the opinion, however, that
none of these modern methods reach
the central cause, and | would say
that the ruprrm" need of the times
Is not better measures and better
government, but better men and
better women
All measures proceed from men,
all government is produced by men.
Give us good men first, and good
systems 81 government will in
evitably follow. The supreme cause
Of all our ills lies in this fact: the
lOwgrade type of our men and
women. Improve Tia" breed and you
will improve the productions Of the
breed. Purify the source and the
stream flowing thcrefrom will be
pure.
A man must h" before he can do
II II man is, h" will do. Achieve
mcnt is the nutcum" Of being. | AN,
here IL being: CAS-, here is ahil-
ity; OUGHT, her" is obligations;
WILL, here is decision: ! 20, here
is action. But you will notice that
ability, obligation, decision and ac-
ton are all founded on being. Civ"
us the man first, and all else fol-
lows. This law obtains everywhere
in all the fields of human rndeavor.
To duplicate the dramas of Shake
speare you must first give us "A new
Shakespeare. To duplicate the har.
monies of Beethoven, you must first
give as a new Beethoven. To create
a new Paradise Lost, you must first
give us new Milton. All poetry,
all law, all government, all reform
all sculpture, al! literature, all
statesmanship, all music, in fact all
the external achievements of the
human race, have issued from the
brain and heart Of man.
The supreme need of the times
then Is the production of great men
and great women, then all the re-
suits that humanity is struggling
for will follow. The production of
good men and women is the grand
object of the universe and the chief
end Of all things.
went into mill and asked the
miller, "what do you produce here?"
He said, flour" and every belt
and wheel and piece of machinery
was constructed to this one end. l
went into another place and asked
the same question. The workmen
said, 1--WE produce car wheels"
This universe is great manufac-
tory, and all things therein con-
tribute to one eud-the production
of good men and good women. The
sun, the sky, the solid earth, the
atmosphere, the soil where the crops
grow, the mines beneath the sur
face, cities, towns, schools, univer-
stiles. farms, businesses, libraries,
history with its rich treasurers,
money, banks, governments, eX-
periences, the human body and
brain-in short, all visible things
constitute scaffolding upon which
man stands to build character.
All this scaffolding of material
