At little luncheon given on the day before
his departure for Europe to Joseph Cowen, the
English Zionist, the subject of apostasy came up
and one man. to illustrate its prevalence related
that only few days ago the first child in the

been baptized because ''the parents hoped by that
means to remove an obstacle in the way of the
boys progress" This recalled to another man

the final determination of the appeal
upon the execution Of an approved

that the defendants counsel protests

certain outstanding debts incurred by

cANvAssING FOR OFFICE.

Although there are a number OF IN
experienced men who are not aware OF
the fact, for the benefit Of all who want
office, experienced and inexperienced
alike, we want to say that the best
way to succeed in that direction Is to
go after the coveted prize with thor
ough house to house canvass.
It is a common thing to hear men
office holders and candidates-say: L
have never in my life asked a man TO
vote for me, and 1 never expect to-
While. of course, this is not to be dis
credited, most individuals know just
how much Importance to attach to such
a statement. If the candidate VINO
goes around showing himself and max
ing himself agreeable, even though he
never makes known his business oy
word of mouth or otherwise, is not
asking people to vote for him, we do
NOT know what he is doing.
But this is just what candidates
should do. They owe it to themselves
and they owe it to the people. The
people appreciate a thorough convass
on the part of the candidates, and those
candidates who fail to make such
canvass are liable to suffer on account
Of such failure.
There are candidates who think that
the best way to secure election Is by
making the rounds of the country IN
fulfillment Of the appointments OF the
executive committee and who content
themselves with that. People nave
been elected with no more effort than
is implied in this but elections under
such circumstances are the exception
rather than the rule.
In the old days candidates for Of
flee, especially the offices that carry
living salaries, used to scour the coun-
ty so closely as not to miss a house,
and they had no mistaken notions
about the propriety OF such canvass
either.

Price of Cotton.

Cotton will bring whatever the grow
er is willing to take. and no more.
1t used To be that producers had lit
tie idea of supply and demand. They
sold cotton as rapidly us they could
get rid of it. and spectators held fol
the profits that came later as the result
of the demand being greater than the
supply.
This year the farmers themselves
have been doing the holding act.
Because of the deliberation of the
farmers in putting cotton on the mar
ket in. the fall, prices held up very
nicely.
Spinners bought supplies for sever
al months ahead and then practically
withdrew from the market in the hope
that prices would go down in the
meantime.
1t is frequently argued that farmers
made Il mistake in not taking II cents
when they could get it. As Il matter
of fact. if all the farmers had tried to
get II cents during the time that fig
ule prevailed. the price would have gone
down t. five or six cents.
The principal influence that has
operated for lower prices is that farm
erS have continued to sell while cot
ton was going down. If the farmers
would refuse absolutely now to sell,
prices would soar steadily until they
reached the temptation point.

PUBLISHERS in all parts of the coun-
try are very much interested in the
investigation of the wood pulp an6
print paper question now being prose
cuted by the house committee. Nu-
merous publishers who use immense
quantities of paper have been before
the committee. Their testimony is tc
the effect that within the past few
years the price Of print paper has ad-
vanced from $3.50 to $3.50 per hundred
pounds, and there appears to be abso-
lutely no competition in the business
except in the field of the smaller con-
sumers who get their supplies through
jobbers and who pay much higher
prices in proportion to quantity, quail
ity, credit, standing, etc. There has
been abundant testimony to the effect
that American manufacturers sell their
products abroad at much lower prices
than at home, and many large newspa-
pers are about to go bankrupt because
of the high price of paper and the i'm
possibility of their raising their sub
scriptiOn prices in the face of ruinous
competition. 1t is the practically unan-
imous opinion of the publishers who
have testified that the removal of the
tariff on print paper would materially
reduce the present high prices with
out Gripping the paper makers.

Truth and Honesty,

1t is a common thing to hear men
complain that people are not as honest
as they used to be and to express ap-
prehension as to what things are COM
ing to anyway; but really there is no
cause for concern about such matters.
Truth and honesty are things that no
man need worry about. They have al
ways taken care of themselves and
there is no reason to fear that the time
will ever come when they will no
longer be able to do so.
The thing is for every man to care
fully guard himself. He need not wor-
ry about the dishonesty of others. Nor
need he fear that he will ever suffer
any permanent disadvantage on ac-
count of the dishonesty of others. That
is provided he does not forsake the
ways of truth and drop into the ways
of dishonesty himself.
There are untruthful and dishonest
men in every department of life, not
excepting business or professional avo-
cations of any kind. There is not a
man living outside of an asylum for i'm
beetles who does not know the personal
danger and disadvantage Of exposing
their dishonesty to the world. This
fact makes these people past masters
in cunning. deceit and fraud; but the
one great effect of all this is only to
make such people deceive themselves
Dishonesty and untruthfulness cannot
be hid in any cloak of bare-faced gall
or simulated frankness. Some men and
women are more dishonest than
others; but every one is eventually
sized up by those with whom they have
dealings at his or her exact value and
deserts.
All men and women are not born
honest or truthful. 1t is doubtful il
any are born that way. Honesty and
truth are more than anything else mat
terS of parental training, or training by
contact with the world. Most men and
women of good sense, soon learn after
coming in contact with the world that
truth and honesty are invincible. Some
learn that the quality of invincibility
belongs only to the genuine article
Others drop into what seems to be the
easier and more pleasant tendency OF
believing that a counterfeit is just as
good.
But of course it is not to be under
stood that anyone is advised to be
truthful and honest for the supposed
business or social advantage to be de-
rived. That is next to impossible. The
kind of truth and honesty that is
based upon that idea Stimulates the
counterfeit. Honest honesty does not
and cannot consider consequences.
There is as much truth and honesty
in the world as there has ever been,
and these qualities are no less power
full than they have always been. There
is absolutely no use to worry about
them, for there is nothing on earth,
under the earth or above the earth that
is better able to sustain itself at all
times and under all circumstances.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
held it's regular monthly meeting in the
office Of the supervisor last Wednesday,
with all the members present, and
gave its consideration to a number of
matters that were brought to it's at
tention.
There was a numerously signed pc
tition for the opening Of a public road
from the corporate limits of Yorkville
to Gabbie's ford across Fishing creek
through the lands of Messrs. Robert
Latta. w. ]. Fewell, E. NJ. Shillinglaw
and Robert Shillinglaw and between
the lands of Messrs. John Carroll and
Henry Shillinglaw. The petition was
granted on condition that all rights of
way be secured free Of cost to the
county.
There was a petition from the Tir-
Zah neighborhood asking that the
chaingang be sent as soon as practica-
BILE to work the five roads that come
together at Tirzah Associate Reform
ed church. This petition was also
granted.
In the case Of petition for the erec-
ton of bridge over Guion Moore creek
on the Blacksburg road between the
residences of w. c. Whitesides and
J. c. Wylie, Commissioner Kirkpatrick
was asked to make investigation and
report back at the next meeting Of the
board
On the demand of the board made
in compliance with the recommendation
made by the grand jury at the April
term Of the court Of general sessions
Mr.. James Cansler refunded the sum
of $39 expended by the board in the
erection Of bridge across a branch
on the old TirZah and Philadelphia
road. This bridge was erected ut the
instance Of Mr. Cansler, and the rec
ommendation Of the grand jury was
made because it had developed that the
road in question had been discontinued
as public road. The bridge had been
constructed during the administration
of Commissioners Boyd, Rainey and
I.umpkin.
Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson Of Hickory
Grove, appeared before the board with
q numerously signed petition from cit
iZens Of western York asking for the
construction OF a steel bridge over
Broad river near Howell's ferry. The
proposition was that York and Chero-
kee counties each pay half the cost OF
the main structure and that each coun-
ty construct and maintain the ap-
proaches on it's own side Of the river
The board passed a resolution approx
ing the proposition on condition that
the commissioners of Cherokee county
shall be willing to cooperate to such
an extent as a fair divide may require
Of them.
The building of the proposed bridge
it is thought, will materially help trade
at Hickory Grove and other nearby
points by furnishing a nearer market
to people who now have to go from
twelve to fifteen miles to a railroad
station. BY crossing the river they
can reach a market within five or six
miles.
