Rev. S. o. Hall formerly rendered his
resignation as pastor of the Presbvte-
ran at this place on last Sunday morn.
ing AT congregational meeting called
at the close of the services his resigpa-
ton was accepted, and several feeling
speeches were made by members of the
church concerning the severance of the
long and friendly relations that have ex-
listed between the pastor and his flock

good luck will follow Rev. Hall and his
family to their new home. Capt. A. ].

secure new pastor.
On account of the many happenings
last week we were compelled to con-
dense much of the local news and some
was omitted entirely. We feel, how
ever, we must take the space this week
to commend the excellent performance
of INA Dusenberry and Her Gearls"
given by the ladies of the W. C. T. u.
at the Picture Theater on the night of
the 9th. 1t would be hard to classify
the performance. 1t was hardly a
musical comedy and to say it was conf
cal music would not do justice to the
entertainment so will say it was music
and comedy and add it was well done.
They have been requested to repeat it
in Richards.

the disposal OF the incoming president, unless
President Taft's order be revoked by his sue
cessor. They have stood no examination. Be-
fore appointment they had not demonstrated
their fitness for the position. and many of
them have not demonstrated 1t yet The civil
service rules apply to their tenure OF Office only
ard not TO the manner OF their choice. They
are political workers, most OF them rewarded
by their political friends. and that political

why they should be retained In office under a

We believe 1t is--they should be placed under
that protection in the proper manner. That
IL to say. after they have demonstrated their
fitness for the protection of the rules. that
protection should be granted. but not until
then. President Taft has placed number of
political workers in office for services TO his
party and says to the opposition party which
~ nov coming INTO power: You shall not
move them without cause" There is no main
tenance OF the principle of civil service reform
here. On the contrary, 1t is carrying the spoils
system to extremes, playing the game unfairly.
Naturally the Democratic leaders are not In
clned to allow themselves to be cheated by
this infraction of the spells system rules made
under the cover of abollshng that system. Mr.
Wilson would lose no unbiased mans respect
should he revoke President Taft's order pro-
vide for examination of applicants for the Of
fee and make his appointments accordingly
President Taft had this opportunity for four
years and failed to take advantage Of It, His
appointees have had four years at the political
pie counter under the operation of the spells
system and show themselves poor sports by
seeking to retain Office under the hypocritical
plea of reform.

UNCLE SANS FOREIGN TRADE.

Four billion dollars and more is the esti-
mated value of the foreign trade of the United
States for the year 1912. an increase of about
Ave hundred million dollars over the preced-
Ing year. The exports for the year are esti-
; mated at 2,3oo,0oo,oOO and the imports at
, 81. 500, 600. 900. a balance on the side of the
exports OF $500. o0o, 900.
Figures so large as these do not make the
impression on the minds of people that might
be expected. When we get into the billions
We lose the sense of proportion. the mind
difficulty. When we are told, however that
imports have doubled since 1914. we realize
how great has been the growth OF American
trade within the last decade.
The future holds promise OF an equal in
crease in the years to come. but the charac-
ter OF imports viii undergo a change
Heretofore our farm products have furnished
great part of exports and manufactured
articles much of the imports. OF course, with
in the last ten or twenty years manufactured
articles have been exported in this country in
vast numbers, but not IN the proportion that
they will be, On the other hand, we may ex-
pect 10 see our imports of raw materials and
food products increase. With the growth of
the countrys population and the growth of
manufactures we are needing every year a
greater amount OF the products OF the sol
for our swn use and have less and less to send
to other countries. We are manufacturing
more goods and shipping more abroad, and
for the reason that more OF our raw material
is going into our own manufactured products
instead of being shipped abroad to be turned
into finished articles and then brought back
in more valuable form. our imports of man
ufactured goods may be expected to fall off

Turkey assured. the alliance between the
mountain States had collapsed, and that, torn
by internal discussions. they would be less
able to protect themselves against the aggres-
sons Of the greedy European powers than
ever. 1t appears possible now. however, that
there was deep-seated guile in Greece's re-
fusal. and that, far from being an evidence
OF rupture between that country and her north
ern friends. II really the result OF an
peace without complying with one of the con-
ditions of Turkey Turkey refused to submit
TO the proposal that the beleaguered towns
and forces should not be provisioued during
the srmistice This point was not pressed
ard servia, Montenegro and Bulgaria signed
the protocol. Greece by refusing prevents the
Turks from raising the blockade of the Oar
denelles and makes 1t difficult for them to pro-
vision these cities. The other allies say. In
effect; We will allow you to send provisions,
but Greece refuses to sign and 1t becomes
extremely difficult for Turkey to do what the
Northern Balkan States agree that she shall
do
Following this report comes another TO the
effect that Turkey has agreed to this clause
providing that the besieged towns should not
be revictualed, but whether because Of the
stand Greece has taken or because the towns
are sufficiently well provisioned to hold out
until peace Ia concluded or hostilities resumed
Is not known. At any rate Greece has OBJ
tanned her point in this respect at least, and
may be expected to sign shortly, though she is
still In a state of war with Turkey.

KNOW OTHERS.

Frequently We enjoined to search our
own hearts and to know ourselves better. We
told by Bobby Burns that 1t would he we'll
for us Ii gifted with some power ito see our
seies as ithers see u.s." and the greatest of
philosophers preached know thyself" All of
this is well, and 1t is also true, as the Norfolk
Led0er-Dispdtch says: I'VE know ourselves
least OF all. We are binder to our own short
comings than to those of the people about US
We think many of our acts are prompted by
virtue when they are inspired by motives hard
Fly commendable." If We could stand aside
and watch ourselves go by" we might be bet
ter men, although few of us would be fat
tered. IL we could better judge our own mo-
tives many of us would experience a rude awak-
ening that would probably have good effect
upon u.s. Is 1t not true, however, that 1t is
not always because we have too high opinion
OF ourselves and of the motives inspiring our
own actions that we msjudge others? May 1t
not be true that it Is often because we have
too poor an opinion OF the motive actuating
others that we condemn them while regarding
ourselves with complacency? Oftener than
H.,
but at the same time see the mote that is not
IL our neighbours eye. We frequently Judge
ourselves rightly, for good or for Ill, but it
is seldom that We Judge others rightly. We
see them go by and. despite the advantage mis-
judge them. The trouble is not that we do
not know own motives often; that we do
not know that they are good. but that we do
not know the motives OF others We commit
some act that know is right, because we
know our motive Another committing the
same act becomes the object of our condemna-
ton because We do not know his motives and
upon the motive often hinges the Justification
Of the act.
To possess the power prayed for by the Scot /
fish bard would prove doubtful blessing, but
to be able to see others as we see ourselye |
would make us more charitable if not saner. |

SHOULD REVOKE THE ORDER.

The efforts of the opposition press to make
capital out of the indignation of some of the
Democratic members of congress that Presi-
dent Taft should have put four thousand fourth
class postmasters under civil service Just be-
fore the expiration of his term will fall fiat
Little attention will be paid to the sneering
talk of the spells system redivivus. Few will
take seriously the assertion, based on such
slim foundation that the Democratic party
stands for the abolition of civil service sys-
tenn
In the face Of impending defeat President
Taft took a step which, taken In some other
way at some other time, would have been ex-
actiy The right step. Some months before the
Republican national convention would have
been good time and provision for a civil
service examination for the postmasters would
have been the proper way AS it is. the effec,

cal appointees Of Republican president and

PROHIBIT THEM.

We join with the Newport News Press in say
ing that city should allow an exhibition of
the moving picture films of the negro, john
sons, wedding to a white girl, If. indeed. the
films have been made. That no Southern city
will allow such an exhibition and that none
but the most degraded would wish to see them
gees without saying, but 1t is conceivable that
there may be some cities In other sections
which would allow the thing to be done.
Every city should Immediately take steps
to make 1t impossible for the pictures to be
put on exhibition" says the Press, for they
are antagonistic TO public policy and good
morals, as Chief of Police McWeeny, OF Chi
cago, says. and will be productive of harm p"
II Is doubtful II their exhibition would do
much harm, for those who would witness the
spectacle could hardly be made worse but
