The Southern War Cloud.

The American people do not get
greatly stirred over the row with
Zelaya of Nicaragua. The comic
farce Of South American government
has been played good many years,
and the only thing that interests us
is the question whether Americans
are getting the square deal. 1t Is
shame that these toy republics
so throttle their own future by max
ing it next to impossible for Amer
ican business men to develop the
country. But that is their own fu-
neral. 1t does not pay in the long
run. either. for Americans trying to
10 business down there to mix too
much in their dirty politics. Such
interference involves our govern
ment to an extent that does not pay
for what there is in it. 1t will be
a great many years before there will
be a stable government IN Central
and South America. We could main
tain it all right, but the tax bill
would not be accompanied by cor
responding returns. It's all right to
orerawe the play armies down there
Ivy a sight of our war ships and
marines. A practice trip in Southern
waters will do them as much good
as anything else that might take
up their attention. But there are
ways and ways of spanking tin
presidents without going to war
about it. Zelaya has stepped down
and out, but an example should be
made of him as a warning to other
1yrants that may attempt to imi-
tate him.

Salaries of Preachers.

Recently the editor of the Union
Times was talking with one Of the
country pastors of Union county
who. be says, is a good man, serv-
ing faithfully as a minister of the
Gospel. He is, also, says the editor.
man of ability, industry and pleas,
ant personality. He serves church
es. the aggregate salary from which.
amounts to 5000. He keeps horse
AMI buggy. He admitted, when
questioned. that it cost him $3.50
year to feed the horse. In other
words, he pays more than 32 per
cent Of his entire salary in providing
tine necessary means of reaching
his work. With the necessities of
life so per cent higher than they
were ten years ago, and with a
meagre salary, the country pastor
is, to express it mildly, in a very
difficult situation. 1t is almost an
impossibility for him to maintain
himself and family. 1t must also
be remembered that the pastor Is
expected to lead in all the benevo-
lent and missionary contributions.
He must dress carefully; he is ey-
pected to do most of the entertain
ing of the visitors that come along
representing the various interests
fostered by his denomination. 1t
is true, these men are making no
complaint. They are quietly should
ering the heavy burden. With
spirit that is truly heroic they are
Serving others" 1t would be
commendable thing if every country
church in the county would raise
the pastors salary at least one-third
what it IS now 1t is day when
the man of industry and business
is making money, buying lands, i'm
proving his farms and spending more
money upon himself and family
than he use to spend and he should
see to it that the minister of his
church is paid salary on which he
can live.

Sunday Sanitary Plan.

Newspaper clippings received by
Dr.. L. w. Dunn of Asheville, n. c.,
show the thought of the people in
both the Carolinas and adjoining
States to be strongly in favor of
the Sanitary Sunday plan. This
lay OF preaching and teaching the
right care Of the human body was
suggested by the North Carolina
Association for the Prevention Of
Tuberculosis, of which DR.. Dunn is
president. THE press and the pull
pit, supplemented by the teacher in
the Sunday school and the weekday
school. must do large part of the
missionary and educational work
which is necessary to rid this city
Of tuberculosis or consumption.
During the last few weeks many Of
the leading newspapers in the South
ern States according to DR.. Dunn,
"have been cordial in their support
of the plan for Sanitary Sunday and
have been iutelligently apprecia-
tive of its real significance. The
newspapers in their editorials have
shown that the campaign against
tuberculosis must largely be foster
ed by those agencies which influence
the judgment and arouse the con-
science Of the average people. Hence
this first step to enlist the active
cooperation of the pulpit and the
preacher.

LeSuIninOus Crops.

The American farmer has yet to
come to full realization of the value
Of leguminous crops. Prof. G.. G.
Creelman recently returned from g.
trip abroad, and in giving his opin-
ION Of agriculture, as it is carried ON
in Italy, he has this to say: I'm look
ing about to find ouw the fertility of
the soil was maintained in districts
where live stock was not common,
and hence farm manure was far from
plentiful, I noticed that everywhere
leguminous crops Cor pulse) were the
rule. I also discovered that in some
form it was eaten every day by rich
and poor alike. All the time / was in
Italy / never once sat down to q dim
ner without being served with peas
or beans, or lentils, or some other va
riety Of leguminous annual J. found
also that the poorer classes con-
sumed large quantities OF pulse, it be-
ing used to a large extent as a sub
Stitute for meat. Where the Irish
peasant finds his balance ration in
potatoes and pork, the Englishman in
bread and cheese, the Scotchman in
oatmeal and milk, SO the Italian rests
content with macaroni and pulse, and
the land gets the benefit in restored
fertility.
