have been 60 deaths Of course not all
of the sixty were members by confir-
nation, but they were members either
by confirmation or baptism. This rec
ord shows that there has been an
average of nearly two deaths year,
since the congregation was organized.
In period of thirty-one years, one
hundred and eighty children have been
given to the Lord in holy baptism,
making an average of nearly six chill
dren each year During these thirty
one years, seventy-fve couples have
been married, either the bride or the
groom being member of the congre-
cation, and in many cases both of them
were members of st. Phillips.
am Informed that the church DooK
now has placed on it the names of
$50 as members of the church, show
ing fifteen deaths of confirmed mem
bers, and twenty eight transfers, leav-
ing membership of 107, very nearly
all of whom are active members. This
shows quite an increase since 1881,
when the congregation was first or
ganized with 81 members. The con-
gregation has grown so large that it
will be necessary in the near future to
enlarge the church in order that all
the people who worship at st. Phil
lips may be seated. The people of
this congregation are to be congratu-
lated upon their church activity.
During these thirty-one years they
have had many changes of pastors, but
the church never fails to come to the
front. We pray Gods richest bless
ings upon this church and upon its
people, and may they accomplish
greater things in the future than in
the mast.

A Strange Life.

UHlOn HueS.
Mr.. ". A. Strange, of Oklahoma, is
visiting his brother, Mr.. q. A. Strange.
He lived for years in Alaska, where
he engaged in the fur trade, and later
was U. S. mail contractor. Mr.. Strange
has some interesting experiences to
relate of his Alaska experiences. He
says he made four trips year with
dog teams while carrying the mail.
The route was 46S miles in length. He
would frequently see no living soul ex-
cept at the relay stations, while on
these trips. He says it was a land of
nernetual snow. He told of men whose
bodies had been buried 20 years and yet
found to be in a perfect state of pre-
servation. Wien struck with ham
mer pieces could be broken off so
strongly was it frozen.
Mr.. Strange will go back to Alaska
for a visit next summer.

A Ten Billi0n.D0llar Nation.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
When Thomas B. Reed was mem
Der of the lower house of Congress he
replied to a criticism directed at the
magnitude of his appropriations by
an epigram which has passed into his
tory. "This is billion-dollar coun-
try" If some of the estimates which
have recently been made of the money
value of the harvests of this year are
justified by the event, then we can
properly speak of our country as
$4,000, 100000 nation.
A conservative estimate or at least
the estimate made by conservative
bankers in the central section of the
country, now fix the money value of
~ eros at about S9,050,000,000.
The detailed nature of this estimate
suggested by the figures 50,000,0OO
indicates that the estimate is a COM
putation or calculation based upon
information, and is not slere guess
work. This is the estimate made by
President George Reynolds, who has
in Chicago built up one of the great
est banking institutions of the world.
In this city estimates have been re-
Gently made of a $4,000, 100000 crop,
although these figures are based upon
a continuation of the favorable grow
ing and harvesting weather, the mat
urity of the corn crop under the be-
nign climatic influences and in i'm
provement in the condition of the cot
ton crop as compared with the latest
of the government estimates. All a.
gree that the money value of the har-
vest of this year will be approximate
| ly $3.50, 100000 greater than the money
vaule of the harvest in 1911. These
figures are equal to the estimate now
made of the visible balance of trade
in favor of the United States for this
calendar year, although some of the
estimates do not put the figures higher
than S600,000,000.
With the creation Of an interna-
tional visible trade balance approx
mately equal to the estimates, the
United States will be in a position to
establish very great credit in Europe.
These credits can be utilized for the
| financing of some of the greater pro-
positions now planned. They will un-
doubtedly, although in an indirect way
serve to aid in the great financing
necessary for the new subway sys-
TENS of the greater city of New York.

.HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIM

"He that is without sin among you,
let him first cast stone at her. were
the words of the text Of a strong SER
mon by the Rev.> Edward Fulenwlder'
in h, Lutheran Church of the Re
deemer on Sunday morning.
There is a condition prevalent IN
this country, and particularly in South
Carolina, at this time, to which these
words of the Master might find pecu-
liar application. This is commercial
age. and correlated to it's ultra-com-
mercialism there has grown up among
us an ultra-righteousness which can
hest be described as Pharisaical. 1t
was not in this connection that the
speaker of Sunday morning used the
words of the text, but in this connec-
ton they are no less applicable.
There are people and there are
newspapers which have arrogated to
themselves all morality, and their high
falsetto is heard only through the
cloak of self-righteousuess with which
they are always enveloped- Whether
consciously or not, they give the I'M
preston that they feel that they can
do no wrong, and that those who do
rot agree with them belong to an ele-
ment which has come to be popularity
characterized in this State as law
less.'' They advocate measures in a
frenzy of fanaticism, and regard as
enemies of the State and as opponents
of decency all those who do not in
stantly and entirely agree with them;
they oppose men and denounce as an
archists those who do not likewise
oppose them.
Some good measures and some good
men in South Carolina have received
their severest blows from the unyleld-
ing and bitter prejudices of their pro-
fessed friends.
There is some good in most men, and
certainly no man nor any set OF men
has a monopoly of morality and right
eousness. No man is perfect, and this
would be much happier world if we
would all look for the good in others
rather than for the bad.

GOV. BLEASE'S ADDRESS.

The Herald and News publishes to-
day the full text of Governor Blease's
address to the people of South Caro-
lima, in which he calls upon the exc
cutive committee speedily to assemble
and declare the result of the primary.
While emphatic, the address is tenn
perate in tone, and clearly and con-
cisely sets forth the governors posi-
ton.
The address has been severely at
tackled by some of the newspapers of
the State. and has been termed by one
"gratuitous insult" and has been
construed by others as threat. We
see nothing in the address to justify
either construction. Senator Tillman
has used much stronger words in call
ing upon the committee for action and
in deploring the delay. Former Gov
ernor Hayward, in a card which The
Herald and News publishes today,
urges the committee to lose no fur
ther time. Gen. M L. Bonham, coun-
ty chairman of Anderson, in an inter-
view. stresses the vital Importance to
the Democratic party of speedy dec
laration of the result of the primary.
That the people are restive there can
be no doubt, and the causes are not
far to seek. In the first place, the
charges of fraud which have been
brought are blanket charges, covering
the whole State, without specifications,
the condition being much the same as
if a solicitor upon the opening OF
term of court would state to grand
Jury that he understood that there
was crime in the county, and ask the
grand jury to investigate the matter
without handing out specific bills OF
indictment. In the second place, the
man who has majority of the votes
On the face of the returns is repre-
sented on the investigating committee
by minority of the committee, and
the contestant, who on the face of the
returns has a minority of the votes,
and who is bringing the charges, has
a majority of that committee. The
chairman of the subcommittee has
been active in the political life of the
State during the past several years,
and in the legislature during the past
session. and since he has been parti-
cularly bitter against Gov. Blease. On
his trip to Atlantic City he was met
in Charlotte by two members of his
committee and a plan arranged for the
investigation The three members Of
the committee who are supporters of
Gov. Blease were not consulted as to
this plan, but seem to have been ig-
nored at that time.
Four weeks after the first primary
meeting is to be held today.
This is no attack upon the commit
tee. 1t simply states the facts, as we
understand them, and in view of these
facts, it is not hard to understand why
the people have become "restive,@ as
the News and Courier puts it.
We sincerely hope there will be no
further delays, and that the commit
tee will take speedy action and de-
clare the results of the primary.

WHEN Is TINE UP?

On the afternoon of September 4,
the Daily Piedmont published the fol-
lowing card from Mr.. c. l.. Verdin, a
member of the Greenville board OF
registration:
Editor Piedmont: The law. provides
that the registration books shall close
thirty days before the general election.
The election will be the first Tuesday
in November, which will be the 9Th
Gay of November, therefore this Sep
tember the 4th viii be the last chance
to obtain a registration certificate.
Yours truly,
C. L. Verdin,
Member of Board.
1t is understood that the board of
REGISTRATION in Anderson county is
still registering voters of that coun-
ty and that it will continue to do so
until after the first Monday in Oc-
tober Judging from the following
paragraph which is taken from the
Newberry Herald and News, the New
berry board will also issue registra-
ton certificates until after October Z.
''Inasmuch as there is a suggestion
Of an independent ticket at the gen
eral election, it behooves every Demo
crat and every voter in South Carolina
to look up his registration certificate
and if he has none to get one on the
first Monday in October, as that will
be the only time that the books of
registration will be open before the
general election
According to the Pee Dee Advocate
the board of registration closed its
work in Marlboro county on Septem-
Der 2.

applies to every county in the State,
