A Clean Press.

1t is all right to talk about the stand
ards OF journalism and clean press,
but newspapers making these observa-
tons should examine their files CAREFUL
ly and see that they have not at times
been little reckless in the use of ale
house talk. Then il the worthy reform
ers should become suffused with an ar
dent desire to elevate journalism high
ly proper course would be to apologize
for their own shortcomings. All this
would be commendable. The oleagi-
nous tongue and the soporific pen may
say like the unctious Pharisee that /
am not as other men; he may hull the
senses with the wonders of his tran
scendant philosophy; he may take to
himself all the virtues OF teacher, and
like the immortal Pecksniff cover him
self with plaudits while inglorious de-
feat awaits the hollow mockery OF his
deception.
Neither is it the right Of the stripping
to employ Incorporate abuse and bill
lingsgate. Neither OF these reaches the
standards of American journalism. The
man who yields the power and extends
the usefulness Of the press is he who
stands by the principles of his country,
and in language plain and unmistaKa-
BILE extols the good aud condemns the
wrong.
It is 9 notorious fact that to-day
while a combinations Of interests and
institutions, the very antithesis of free
government, are encroaching upon and
destroying these vital prin-

Spirit Of Enterprise.

There was an awakening OF the local
interests at the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club last Tuesday night. 1t was
perhaps one Of the most numerously at
tended meetings ever held in this city
OF like character. Everyone was mu-
tually interested and expressed his opin-
ions freely.
1t was the concensus of opinion that
Union City needs more public life and
vim. The Commercial Club has already
done a good work, but there is much
to do, and the determination to band
together and to do things was manifestly
greater than it has been for years. The
Commercial Club is responsible for the
organization and development OF the
cannery and the cotton gin. 1t is the
moving power which caused the con-
struction Of grayeled streets. The Com
mercial Club has instituted many other
movements for the betterment of our
city and its public institutions.
There was a number OF addresses
made, suggestions OF various nature,
all leading to the advancement of our
civic life.
One was an address by Rev. j. L.
Hudgins, Of this city, who made very
remarkable statement. The minister
said that he had been pastor Of churches
in number of the good towns of Indi-
ana and in one or two in Illinois. He
had kept an accurate and complete rec
ord of the sick visits he had made in
every one Of these places; he has also
record Of visits made to the sick since
coming to Union City, and COMPARE
son of the statements shows forty per
cent less sickness in Union City than in
either OF the other places named This
statement will probably open the eyes
Of q great many people.
Union City has not always enjoyed
this reputation. Many years ago this
country was thought to be very sickly
and with some degree OF Justification
Years have passed and the lands have
been tiled and the forests cleared until
to-day il is one Of the healthiest sections
anywhere. Coming nearer to our
homes the best and purest drinking wa
ter to be found on earth is that which
we have in Union City. This system
has been in use for number Of years,
and we are ready TO support the state
ment made by Rev. Hudgins that I'M
ion City is one OF the healthiest towns
in the United States, and the fact should
be published abroad by the Commercial
Club.

Gen. F.. Nj. Law Honored.

Old friends of Gen. E. M. Law
in this section of the State will
be pleased to learn that he has
been honored by the governor of
Florida by appointment as the
representative of that State on
the Battle of Gettysburg Com
mission. Gen. Law moved from
Yorkville to Florida about 20
years ago and has since been
engaged there as superintendent
of military school. He was
once editor of the Yorkville En-
terprise and was also candidate
for Congress in this district
against j. j. Hemphill, but fell
short of the votes necessary to
secure the nomination. Con-
corning the appointment of Gen.
Law the Tampa Times says:
The appointment of Gen.
E M. Law to be the representa-
tive from Florida to confer with
the Battle of Gettysburg Com
mission relative to the observance
of the fiftieth anniversary of
that great battle was one emf
nently fit to be made. Gen.
Law is the highest in actual rank
of the now living officers on the
Confederate side in that memora-
BILE contest, and is besides a
citizen of that high character
which all good and true men de-
light to honor. The commission
will meet July 1st and continue
in session three days. The
fiftieth anniversary occurs in

REPORTS ON STATE HOSPITAL
Crowded Condition of Institute Ap-
pears From Detailed 81 -ment of
-.~n,s Treated.

DIR. j. w. Babcock, superin-
tendent of the State Hospital for
the Insane, makes the following
report upon conditions at the in
stitution over which he presides:
"On December 81, 1908, there
were l, 463 patients on the books
of the hospital, and at the end of
the year 1909 there were 1,52S.
The total number treated during
the year was 2,071, and the aver
age number daily resident 1,5O7:
the highest number was 1,547
and the lowest 1,459. During
the year COS were admitted, of
whom 320 were white and 2S5
colored. The number of admis-
slons was one less than the pre-
vious year. Practically no appli-
cations for admission are refused
if endorsed by physicians.
of the forms Of insanity of
those admitted 243 were of the
manic Oppressive type; 92 were
of pellagrous insanity; 90 of senile
psychosis; 49 of dementia pre-
cox; 33 of epilepsy; % of alcohol
ism and drug habits, and 46 of
various kinds of weak-minded-
ness.
With regard to the probable
causation, II were assigned to
moral causes, 283 to physical, 46
to toxic and 199 to unknown
causation; 110 were attributed
to heredity.
During the year there were
discharged as recovered 95; as
much improved and improved,
142, and 36 as unimproved. The
total number who died was 256.
The high mortality is due chiefly
to five causes, pellagrous in
sanity, 68 '(26 per cent?; tu-
berculosis, 81 GO per cent? :;
senility, 25 90 per cent?; cpl
lepsy %, and general paralysis
making a total of 184 cases,
or II per cent. To the first
three causes, pellagra, tubercu-
losis and old age, over one-half
of the deaths are due"

STATE AID MAY BE SECURED
FOR NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
Recent Act Of the General Assembly
Provides for Appropriation to As
sist Weak Schools.

Under the provisions of an act
passed at the last session of the
General Assembly,. the trustees
of the Fort Mill graded school
may receive $500 from the State
treasurer toward the erection of
the school building, the bonds
for which, $4,000 in amount,
were voted in April of last year.
The act carries an appropriation
of $40, 600 and is designed to aid
weak public schools of the State
in the construction of buildings.
The attention of the chairman
of the Fort Mill board of trus-
tees, R. F. Grier, was directed
to the act yesterday. Mr.. Grier
says that there is no question of
the need of every dollar the
school can get from the State ap-
preparation in putting up the new
building and that he is confident
steps will be taken at once to
secure the approval of the York
county board of education, a
condition precedent to the issu-
ance of the warrant by the State
board of education and the
signature of the State superin-
tendent of education.
The act of the General Assem-
bly, says that when the friends,
patrons or trustees of any public
shooi in any school district OF
any county in this State shall
raise by private subscription,
special tax, regular tax, sale of
old buildings, issuing bonds OF
otherwise, funds for building a
school building in such district,
the State board of education
shall, upon application duly en-
dorsed by the county board of
education of the county in which
the public school desires aid,
turn over to the trustees of such
school from the funds set aside
for such purpose under this act,
$50 for each $100 so raised by
such friends, patrons or trustees
for constructing such school
building, but that no one school
shall receive more than $500 un-
the provisions of this act, and
that no more than one school in
any one district in any one year
shall receive such aid. In case
of the consolidation of two OF
more schools an additional bonus
of $50 may be granted, and the
State board of education shall
give the preference to school dis
tricts which have combined and
consolidated two or more school
buildings. Any school district
availing itself of the provisions OF
the act shall comply with plans
and specifications approved by
the State board of education.

P.obt. G. Lee Ordained to Ministry.

ence of a large. congregation at
the Baptist church, Robert G.
Lee, a student at Furman uni
versity, whose home is in Fort
Mill, was ordained to the full
work of the Gospel ministry.
Mr.. Lee is serving churches near
Greenville and his ordination
was asked for by them.
The ordaining council was
called by the Fort Mill church,
of which the candidate has
been a member for IL years.
The council was composed of
Revs. R. L. Marsh, of Rock Hill;
E. P. Easterling, of Benefits
vile; Edw. 5. Reaves, of Honea
Path, and s. P. Hair, pastor of
Fort Mill and Flint Hill churches,
and deacons d. A. Lee, A. A.
Young, S. A. Epps, w. B.
Meacham and B. M. Faris.
The organization of the council
was effected by electing Rev.
S. P. Hair, chairman and Rev.
R. T. Marsh, secretary. The
candidate was examined as to
his conversion, call to the minis
try and doctrinal views by Rev.
Edw. S. Reaves, under whose
ministry he Joined the church.
Mr.. Lee passed the eXamina-
ton in a creditable man.
ner, maintaining his composure
throughout the ordeal and giving
clear-cut answers to the many
difficult questions put to him.
The council, after withdrawing
for conference, unanimously
recommended the ordination and
the church, by formal vote,
authorized it.
The sermon was preached by
Rev. Edward S. Reaves from the
text, Who is sufficient for these
things? Not that we are
sufficient of ourselves but
our sufficiency is of God. .
2 Cor. PIG and 3:6.
The sermon was clear
presentation of the ministerial
office under the following di-
visions:
l. The dignity and RESPONSE
bility of the ministerial office.
The preacher speaks to men for
God and to God in behalf of
men. Occupying such a position,
where the issues of life and
death are involved, the minister
must live a stainless life of COM
munion with God and fellowship
with men.
2. The exacting demands
which modern society is making
of its preachers. They must
serve without hope of personal
gain and meet exacting de-
mands as to service and bear
everybody's burden.
3. The sustaining power and
rewards of the office. The
sustaining power is in the
consciousness of a divine call
and of faithfully serving God by
humbly serving men. The re-
wards are of spiritual nature
and consist in the gratitude of
those who are served, the con-
sciousness of doing good and the
hope of everlasting reward.
The Bible, the preachers guide
book, was presented in a happy
manner by Rev. S. P. Hair, who
urged the young preacher not to
neglect it's study and to follow
always its lofty teachings. Rev.
R. L. Marsh, delivered the
charge in a forceful manner,
giving the candidate many words
of wholesome advice. The or
daining prayer was offered by
Rev. E. P. Easterling and was
followed by the laying on OF
hands as the candidate remained
kneeling. The benediction was
pronounced by Mr.. Lee, closing
a solemn and impressive service.
Mr.. Lee is a young man OF
bright mind and studious habits
and gives every hope of develop
ing into a useful preacher.

Subscription lists are being
circulated asking for contribu-
tions to assist in defraying the
expenses of the Fort Mill base
ball club, and it is hoped that
the public will respond literally
to the effort which is thus being
made to organize the team. 1t is
more than should be expected of
the young men who will compose
the team to ask that they not
only play the game for the en-
tertainment of the public with
out compensation but that they
also furnish the expense Incl
dent to organizing and main
tanning the club. Fort Mill has
had a splendid ball team for
several years and the material is
here this year for another good
team, but it remains for the pub
nc to help the players with cash
contributions.
