THE OVERALL
OPENING.
MACHINES IN POSITION.
Busy Hands Managing Them While
Gasoline Power Moves Them.


Monday, Dec. 4th, 1910, was mad
memorable in the business historl
OF Farmville by the opening of tn,
overall factory, corner Third and st
George streets.
While the factory is not yet in
finished form many machines are
in position, a 3-horse power gaso-
line engine moves them and deft
hands direct them. Overalls, work
ingmen's trousers and long automo-
bile coats are being made and or
ders are already in hand for the
product Of the factory.
A representative of the Herald
watched the girls at work. and
the sight was an interesting one.
His attention was called to one of
the number who has made as much
as SO week. and what this one
girl has done and will do again, 9TH
er girls can and should do. and so
enjoy the glorious privilege Of being
independent. The opportunity has
been brought within ready touch Of
the girls Of this town and surround
ing country, and it remains 70 be
seen what they viii do with il.
There are none of the usual hor-
rors about the factory building
which are assoc ated with the "swea
shops" of the large cities. The
room is well lighted. well ventilated
and kept comfortable. The working
hours are reasonable aud the man-
agement thoughtful and consider
a.e. 80 day wages are paid. Dul
each worker gets what She earns.

"Pure Religion and Undefiled."
Houston Chronicle.

Christ evidently meant for men to un-
derstand that religion means service. and,
if need be, sacrifice He so taught, he so
lived, he so served and he so suffered as to
make that meaning plain.
If religion does not so affect the life of
any man or woman as to fix upon his or
her heart and conscience the obligation to
help and to serve, and, if need be, to make
sacrifices for others, then such religion is
not taught by him who "spake as never
man spake.'
Exegetes and learned interpreters of
Scripture may give some other categorical
and mystical meaning to the words of
Christ as set forth in Matthew, %: 31-46,
but to the normal, average layman's mind
he meant that those who neglected to feed
the hungry, clothe the naked, give water
to the thirsty and show charity to the
stranger and those sick and in prison would
so fail in the performance Of religious duty
that they would not receive the reward of
final happiness. To discharge such duty
was, in his eyes evidently, religion.
/ st. James writes in the plainest terms ::
:" Pure religion and undefiled before God
and the Father is this: To visit tina faith
erless and widows in their affliction and to
keep himself unspotted from the world.''
Language cannot be palmer than this,
and it means that something more than
profession of religious belief, something
more than formal and perfunctory adher-
something more than names on church
rolls, is necessary to constitute religion.
Faith must find expression in works;
belief must be proved by service. Readi-
ness to follow the Master is the best illus
tration and test of religion.

Superfluity of Legislation.
New Orleans Picayune. !

The present session of Congress has
developed something like $4,000 bills, of
which only very small proportion are
likely to be enacted into law. The great
majority of these bills will die in commit
tee; in fact, it is safe to say that only a
very small portion of them will ever be
even read by the committees to which they
have been referred. There is some ten
dency to rail against legislation by COM
mittees, but, as as matter of fact, no prog
ress at all would be possible if the commit
tee system were obliterated. Most of the
bills introduced are utterly valueless, hence
were all to be considered in turn the good
measures would be hopelessly swamped by
the poor and Indifferent.
With Congress grinding out laws annu-
ally, and with forty State Legislatures
doing the same thing either annually or
biennially, our code of laws is becoming
so bulky and complicated that most of the
acts are entirely forgotten, and therefore
imperative. At the same time, one of the
r6SullS vi LulS COuStduC ldW 10 q
great increase in litigation in an unneces-
sary multiplication of courts and judges
and in useless multiplication Of officials
and public servants. Our system has re-
suited in greater number of magistrates
and judges in big city like New York
than can be found in the whole of England,
in all probability.
Instead of constantly grinding out pew
laws our Congress and State Legislatures
would be more profitably employed in re-
pealing many of those supposed to be in
force, or which, if enforced, do more harm
than good. The country is sadly over
governed, yet would be better governed
with less complicated machinery and
fewer laws.

really candid toward themselves! If the
truth were known, many of US who are
fairly open hearted to others endeavor to
conceal ourselves from ourselves. The
inner life consists very largely of self
justification and not of boldly and honestly
facing the truth about ourselves. Truth
fulness, sincerity and candor are found
much more rarely in our introspection than
in our conduct in the world around. And
yet it is here that they are the more neces-
sary, if we would attain to the cadid nature
and enjoy its healthy and vigorous inspi-
ration. Let us quote Steele again, for the
passage is striking one:
''The candid mind, by acknowledging
and discarding its faults, has reason and
truth for the foundation of all its passions
and desires, and consequently is happy
and simple; the disingenuous spirit by in
diligence Of one unacknowledged error is
intangled with an after-life of guilt, sorrow
and perplexity.''
Possibly many think that candor only
relates to the intercourse of man with man,
but it is doubly necessary, doubly helpful,
in our own self-examination and culture,
and, we might add, doubly rewarded.
When we have achieved the candid
nature, and it springs naturally and logi-
cally from love of truth, we shall realize
how valuable is that derivative meaning of
Misunderstanding whiteness-in assisting
US to understand and appreciate it. He
cannot be truly candid who is not clad in
the "white toga" of love of truth; but
he who dons it as significant Of the purity
of his intention, both toward his own up
rightness and the happiness of his fellow
men, can walk through the world blessing
and blessed.

A New Book
Three Centuries
of Southern Poetry
BY CARL HOLIDAY, MA.

A work designed to stimulate interest
in the poetry and poets Of the South
land. The entire conception is unique,
and the author has done a noteworthy
service in writing it. Great care has
been used in making the selections. He
has produced volume which should find
a hearty welcome in every Southern
household. AS well as furnishing many
OF the poems entire, he has given with
each one short history of the poem, its
author, and the conditions under which
it was written. Taken as a achole, it is a
most valuable contribution to Southern
literature. It is handsome volume of
256 pages, beautifully printed on fine
paper, and handsomely bound in cloth,
with gold stamping.
