Concerning the Left-Handed.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The left-handed are at last having an
inning.
They have suffered from the prejudice
of the ages. History makes no record
of its beginning. but undoubtedly 1t was
centuries before man invented the alpha
bet or became in the least interested In
preserving the chronicles of his fathers.
The bone carvings of the cave jewellers
show that cur naked forebears used their
right hands in throwing their weapons.
II a Child appeared among the paleo-
lithics who grasped his ceIt and tore his
food with his left hand he had. in all
likelihood. been Immediately slain and
eaten. There Is reason to believe that
the preadan,ites were unacquainted with
the philosophy Of tolerance.
So late within the last twenty years
parents and school teachers have exerted
their influence and lavished their temper
in attempts TO warp the left-handed chill
dren into awkward right-handed. It has
bred despair in the child in whom ha bit
was fixed. a condition of sullenness In
many who felt the scorn Of their fellows.
and. in some cases, deceit. since with a
little ingenuity and the convenient back
Of another. a pupil may appear to be en-
ploying his right when In fact he is using
his left.
These are more reasonable days. It is
now recognized that there are dynamic
and potential sides of the brain The
right handed persons muscular outfit is
worked from the left lobe. For the left
handed the condition Is reversed. In the
greater understanding some educators
have gone far and tried to train each
hand to be equally efficient. But there
is a question as to the utility Of this,
since the potential half has its full share
Of appointed labors-
The left-handed person is rapidly ap-
proaching a plane OF convenience with
the right-handed. Many instruments are
made especially for him. He can buy
left-hand scissors. have an automobile
steering gear fitted as he wishes 1t. ana
In the lecture rooms OF the universities
there are a few chairs with the notebook
tablet on the left. A waiter will place
ones coffee by ones left hand without
displaying offensive amusement. and
sometimes even a person Of few min.

How to Help Our Friends.
From the Nautilus.

From the NAUTILUS.
We often attempt to regulate the lives
Of our friends through imposing our own
wills upon them. This we do under the
impression that our conception of Truth
is superior to theirs. and that we see
more clearly than they do. This is really
but a form of selfshness. and binds all
who indulge in 1t. both the strong and
the weak. OF course there is a point
where a kind and friendly desire to help
another may be productive Of good But
when the desire to help another involves
the subjugation of his spirit and under
standing. then that desire becomes q self
ish one. For you cannot force a knowl-
edge Of Truth upon any one. Only love
and patience and living the Truth yourself
can bring it to the consciousness of your
friends.

MECHANICAL BREAD KNEADERs
Thirty-five Exhibits at Lyon--Exten-
sive Use i'm France.

Consul John C. Covert, of Lyon, ad-
v!ses that during the latter part of
there was an exhibition of
mechanical bread kneaders in that
French city at which 35 mechanical
devices were exhibited for kneading
bread by power, the working being
thus summarized:
Three were German inventions, all
the others were French. The prices
of these machines varied from 500
francs s96.5O) to 1000 francs (s772).
Most of them are worked by steam
or electricity, but all Of them may be
worked by hand or by gas or petrol
cum engines.
These machines will knead from
900 to 1000 pounds of bread in an
hour or in less time, and they will
knead from l pound of bread up to
500 pounds. They are used in nearly
every bakery in France. and the old
style Of kneading by hand is nearly
out of use.
The troughs in which the dough Is
kneaded in these machines are gem
orally about 4 feet in diameter. When
the work of kneading is in progress,
the trough turns round slowly and
the dough is turned over by a sys-
tenn Of metallic claws which lift it up
throw it over, and give it thorough
turning as completely as could be
done by the hand. By this system
every part of the dough is thoroughly
kneaded.
1t is claimed that the bread made
by this system is better than the ar
ticle made by the old method
mechanical bread kneader en-
ployed in France some 25 years ago
became very unpopular. but upon in
vestigation the cause Of the unpopu-
larity was found to be in the poor
quality Of flour used. 1t is now con-
sidered beyond dispute that the me-
chanical bread kneader produces
better article of bread; that it is
healthier than the bread made by
the old methods.

Increasing Numbers Hear Strong
Sermons from Night 10 Night.

Revival service at the Baptist
church last night showed good inter-
est and the crowd was larger than
the night before. Evangelist Bledsoe
preached a powerful sermon on the
"How" of being a Christian. Miss
Fraker sang. savior, Lead Me Lest
Stray" with feeling.
one of the most helpful features of
the meeting was the promise show
err" A large number took part in it
and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The sermon was a continuation of
the theme of Sunday evening. "How
to Be Changed?" was the question
which the preacher answered. That
a change of heart and character is
necessary. he proved from the third
chapter of John. Without it. Jesus
says there, it is impossible to enter
the Kingdom of God. First. the
change of heart. then the change of
character growing out of the new
heart.
How to be changed. the preacher
said, was explained in the verse
where Jesus said of himself, Even
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, so must the Son of Man
be lifted up that whosoever believeth |
may in Him have eternal life"
The bitten Israelites in the wilder
ness found a cure that never failed
them by just looking on the brass
serpent that Moses put up on a pole
in their midst.
So, Jesus taught, mems souls bitten
by sin are cured by looking to Him,
He was their cure. To look to him.
to believe him. changes the life, for it
cures sin and its power in the soul.
Evangelist Bledsoe told how he was
reached for God. He was a goddess
youth, making his own way in large
city He had not been inside a church
for five years, when one day a man
came up to a group of them and Of

CAMPAIGN MEETING TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday the people of Wal,
halla will welcome the candidates for
United States Senator and Congress-
man and for Solicitor. These gentle
men are aspiring to high offices, i'm
portant offices, and they should be
heard with deep thought and study.
They will be here to tell you what
principles they advocate and repre-
sent. Come out and give them a re-
spectful hearing. 1t is time that the
people Of the South should begin to
take more interest in the matter of
who shall represent them In the Sem
ate and Congress of the United
States. In national affairs the South
has lost much of her prestige by sim
ply not giving the proper thought
and attention to her representatives
in the two branches Of the National
Congress. 1t Is a duty we owe to
ourselves and to our country that
these matters should be thoughtfully
considered, and our ballots should
be cast independently of personal
friendships and personal obligations.
The ballot is too sacred trust to be
lightly handled and carelessly cast.
Attend the campaign meeting next
Tuesday and hear what the candi-
dates for the United States Senate
and Congress and for Solicitor have
to say. People from all over the
county should attend If possible.

THROUGH PULLMAN SERVICE.

Last week the Southern Railway
inaugurated through Pullman SER
vice from Charleston to Walhalla.
1nis is vast Improvement over any
similar service ever given us from
the seaboard to the mountains. The
fact that 1t is now of forcs, however,
is not the whole of the story. We
have the assurance that If the Pull
man service as operated at present
three trips a week--is sufficiently
appreciated and literally patronized,
the Southern will inaugurate q daily
service between Charleston and Wal
halla. AS at present scheduled this
Pullman car leaves Charleston at
800 in the morning on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, and leaves
Walhalla at 3.27 in the afternoon on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
This service gives comfortable and
pleasant accommodation between
Walhalla and Charleston, and inter-
mediate points, three times q week
each way.
Now that we have rec civcd this
consideration at the hands of the
Southern, let us not sit idly by and
see 1T dwindle to nothing and lose it
by lack of patronage. Rather boost
1T for everything 1t is worth-and it
is worth much-until we are given
the regular daily service each way.
II you take trip to the lower
part OF the State, patronize the Pull
man service; If you have friends
coming this way, advise them of the
service, and request them to take ad-
vantage Of 1t.
How much Walhalla has lost in the
past by reason Of inadequate rail-
way service can never be estimated
until by using the new service we see
its benefits and estimate what we
have lost In the past by not having
a service that the travelling public
could appreciate and would patron
ize.
Patronize the new service yourself
and solicit the patronage Of Others
In doing so you will assist materially
in the upbuilding Of this point as a
resort for the people of the low
country during the summer months
at least, and in paving the way
for travel from the frozen North
in the winter. Walhalla's climate is
such as to make this point sought
after the year through by the resi-
dents North and South.
