prays for nothing less than the entire
sanctification Of his friends. The dar-
ing goal of the early Christian Church
was holiness. They projected athwart
the blackness Of the wicked world in
which they lived a people Of simple
faith whose lives were Of shining
purity. That was their testimony in
their time to Christ's power. And
that witness was then, is now, and
eve will be, irresistible. For the
world has no argument with which to
answer a holy life.

Under the cover of the +lrmoi] Of
war all kinds of base passions emerge
into activity. That heroism, self-de-
NAL and patriotism are often evoked
by war no one can deny; yet oven
the noblest of wars are used as 4
cloak by a horde of harpies who serve
their own base ends at the expense
Of the peoples patriotism. Consider
the army contractors, who during the
American Civil War, grew rich ly
cheating the Federal government. Re
call the "round robif' letter in the
Spanish-American War, which Mr..
Roosevelt himself signed. Remember
the army supply scandals which with
in the past decade lave aroused re-
spectively Great Britain, France and
Russia. 1t would seem as if all the
evils Of graft find wartime a propi-
tious season for growth.

After all, war is beside the point,
1t proves nothing concerning the real

WAR AGAINST WAR.
Endeavor Topic for August 8, "Why
War Should Be AbOIished."-ISa.
q. III. Maft <. o2-42


The hysteria of England over a pos
sib1e German invasion. the terrific bur-
den of military taxation in Germany,
a still heavier load borne by the peo-
pie of Japan, the recent overthrow Of
the French ministry during a military
debate, the riots in Spain against the
Moroccan war, the squabbling between
small South American countries over
a boundary dispute, all are contempt
raneous arguments drawn from the
daily newspaper against the madness
of militarism. One does not ave to
go to ancient ~treatises to perceive
the hurt Of the war spirit. It is be-
fore the eyes of whosoever would
look. The amazing thing is that the
common sense of humanity has not
long since banished the blight of war.
The tide of a. sentiment is
steadily rising all around the world.
Of that these can be no doubt. In
stead of being the passion Of the
choice few men and women of refined
spirit. the conviction in favor of in
ternational peace has begun to find
Judgement in the breats Of plain peo-
pie, who have always furnished the
food for powder. Theirs are the homes
that are desolated by the cruel science
which spends lives as it spends lead.
After having furnished the soldiers
for all wars, the plain people are also
called upon to pay the cost Of the
same, although they are rarely con-
suited as to whether or not a war
should be entered upon. A deepened
resentment against the awful burdens
which war lays upon the WOrkingman
is growing in the minds OF the pro-
letariat.
This is the day of brotherhood. All
races are dreaming Of the unity-of
mankind. That the old bitterness,
misunderstanding and prejudices
should give way to concord and fra
ternity is the desire of nations. But
it is simply impossible that anything
at all resembling a day of universal
concern of great nations is the main
tenance Of huge armies and navies
The arts of war are nOn-prOductive
arts. When most justiiable they only
give protection for the development of
worthier pursuits. The usefulness of
mankind as we'll as the common pros
perity of the race, is promoted by
neace and not by war. Consider for
an instant the treas res of art and
literature ard history that have been
lost to mankind through the ravages
Of war.
Some one raises the question, but
does not wal make men Grave and
cultivate the other noble virtues p"
ct us consider. For a week past the
principal headlines in the daily papersl
hove been devoted to the reopened in

timony has thrown a food of light

WILD ANIMAL BOUNTY
Method Now In Force Assist
ing County Clerks Wheth-
er Scalps Are Genuine.

For the purpose of helping
county officers in determining
whether animal bounty claims
submitted to them are genuine,
Secretary of state J. A. Frear
has caused to be printed on
bounty certificates scientific des-
cription of wolves and foxes.
The descriptions are regarded as
so simple and so clear that there
will be little room for fraud in
future.
The size, color and distinctive
marks of the animal are given
and the officers are warned not
to issue certificates emitting
claimants to bounties unless
they are convinced that the ami
mails are what they are repre-
scented to be.
Last year the state paid S24,-
600 in bounty claims and the
different counties an equal
amount. Chief Clerk Louis B.
Nagler of the secretary Of state S
department, who audits the
bounty claims, believes the new
certificate will considerably re
duce the amount of money paid
out.

ton.

According to an interview given out
by an official of the Seaboard Air Line
at Hamlet, Il. c., there is a great
probability that the Carolina, Clinch-
field and Ohio railroad will go on fur
ther in South Carolina than Spartan
burg, and that the Seaboard Air Line
will construct a line from Shelby. n.
c., to Charleston over which the coal
carrying trains Of the Clinchfield sys-
tenn and the trains of the Seaboard
road will be handled. From Bostic to
Shelby the distance is but 21 miles,
and since the Clinchield road going
to Spartanburg crosses the Seaboard
at BOstic it will be necessary for the
Clinchfield trains to be detoured only
21 miles to Shelby there to take the
line now proposed by the Seaboard.
The proposed line of the Seaboard
will run from Shelby to Catawba,
where it will cross the Monroe to At
lanta line OF the Seaboard. From Ca
tawba it will go to Fort Lawn, there e
touching several large power plants Of
the Southern Power Company on the
Wateree river. 1t will cross the main
line of the SeabOard, New York to
Tampa, at LugOff, station across the
river from Camden. 1t will cross the
Florence to Columbia line of the At
lantic Coast Line at Eastover The
distance from Eastover to Charleston
is 110 miles The Seaboard and
Clinchfield systems have each secur-
ed terminal sites in Charleston, and
these will be combined and will be
| used by both roads. Spartanburg will
be used as distributing point for the
Piedmont country and for points on
the main line of the Southern railway
between Charlotte and Atlanta 1t has
become known that the Seaboard and
Clinchfield systems are practically one
and the same. The officers of the
Clinchfield are Seaboard men, and
these roads have been working hand
IN hand to get to the port of Charles
ton. The Seaboard official stated en-
phatically that Charleston and not Sa-
vannah will be the port used by these
roads, and that the arrangements now
being made to detOur the Clinchfield
trains to Charleston are only tenn
porary. The Clinchfield road will con-
tlnue to use the line Of the SeabOard
between Bostic and Wilmington in or
der to furnish the 10 manufacturing
plants which have contracted for
Clinchfield coal.

COTTON CONDITION VERY LOW
Glnners' Report Estimates Yield at
1O,5OO,OOO Bales.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 3O.-The re-
ports of the National Ginners' asso.
citation, made public this afternoon
give the condition of cotton up to and
including August "a as CAL per cent
This is the lowest condition in a
number of years." the report SAYS
"and indicates a crop of about TO-
100000 bales. An early frost would
reduce these figures somewhat and a
late frost would probably increase the
total yield to 100000 bales"
The report of averages by States
follows:
Alabama Ga; Arkansas So; Florida
rs; Georgia "a; Louisiana 54; Missis-
sippi 81; Missouri 80; North Carolina
70; Oklahoma So; South Carolina 76;
Tennessee rs; Texas 81. General av-
erage. 64.1.
This indicates a crop of about g.
100000 bales for Texas. Ginners re-
port that they ginned 1,565,1S5 bales
last year in Texas and they estimate
they will gin 1,776,119 bales this year
with average weather.
