An Embarrassing Situation.

Opening the suffrage ranks for the
admission of women sometimes brings
about embarrassing domestic complica-
tions. For instance, among the dele
cation from one of the western states
to the Republican convention is man
and his wife. So far so good, but the
unfortunate part of it is yet to come.
He is an ardent supporter of Mr.. Taft
and she is a stand-patter for Col.
Roosevelt. Notwithstanding the fact
that it was mutually agreed that
the political situation would not be dis
cussed on the trip, The Advertiser will
wager dollars to dough-nuts that the
poor fellow will flop over to Col. Roose-
velt before the final ballot is taken. A
man is not man when he has Roose-
veltian suffragette for wife.

that there was no use begging
atheists for money for the church

could live without it. This church
has established a System of Giving
which goes into effect next preach

business-like. The congregation
took to it at once and splendid re-

for all ministers and officers to look
into this System.

PARKSVILLE LETTER.

The rain has con vinued up to
date, though the weather bids fair,
according to Indication this morn
ing to give the farmers few days
of sunshine. And this reminds me
of a remark of my old friend Tap
Doolittle of Rehoboth on this wise:
He said that the people had told so
many stories about reducing the
cotton acreage, that the Lord had
taken hand. Every fellow prom
ised, according to Tap, to cut down
his cotton crop with no intention of
doing so, hoping the other fellow
would do it and thereby increase
the price; and the Lord took a hand
and foiled the plans of the average
farmers, who intended to plant
more cotton than usual. The news
papers are giving the credit for cot
ton reduction to Anderson of Rock
Hill, but Mr.. Doolittle looks in an.
other direction.
We had a visit last week from
Mr.. Genie Thurmonu, Jr., of Red
Oak Grove. Mr.. Thurmond is one
among the few young men who has
saved his money and has decided to
invest in bank. He tells me that he
had just sold his last years cotton
crop, receiving - cents all around
making a little by holding. Genie
used to live among us, and his occa-
sional return is always welcomed
by his many friends.

Systematic Benefeenee.

The above is the subject of the
sermon last Sunday morning at the
Presbyterian church. will man
rob God?" was the text, being Nal
achi 3:s.
The substance of the discourse
was that robbing God was the bust
ness in which this nations engaged,
and that the church had fallen into
the same sir. The speaker said
that in addition to free-will offerings
the Jews paid to the church ten per
cent. of all they possessed; that
Zacheus gave one half of his goods;
that the poor widow gave all; that
Christ cheerfully offered Himself;
but that we were giving less than
one cent on the dollar. He went on
to say that people did not give be-
cause they are either practical inf
dels or because they were not
trained in the art of getting along,
for God had promised temporal
blessings to the nation and spiritual
blessings to the believer. Another
reason why they did not give was
due to the fact that they vainly i'm
agined that bGod needed it. Here
he showed how little God cares for
the filthy lucre: for he destroys mil
lions every year. But he showed
that God was going to hold man.
kind to account for robbery. He
cited the wealthy Christian and the
wealthy sinner, and in a few mill
utes told what would become of
their wealth in the course of time.
In a word, he said, God does not
settle His accounts on Saturday
night. He cited some reasons why
we ought to stop playing with Sc
rious things and begin to honor
God with our substance. He said
it was serious joke to come dress
ed up in church and put in the col
lection five cents to support this
kingdom; that if we did not give,
the whole world was Gods and
that, if necessary, The church could
live on the blood of martyrs, but
that we would not only lose the
promised blessings of God, but our
selves bring down upon our nation
a curse for stealing that which he
had loaned US for a few brief years.
In the sermon many questions
were answered which might arise in
ones mind. Such as, Why is it he
allows wicked people to flourish
and fatten? For the same reason
we fatten hogs. Why is it He allows
good people who are rich to be so
miserly toward the church? Said
the speaker, just watch three gene
rations! In our attempt to rob
God, we are robbing ourselves.
Even if we hold it, we do SO to sor-
row. Said he, we should give be-

The Money Trust Investigated.

While the efforts of the government
to suppress trusts of all kinds may not
have been altogether successful, yet
there is no denying the fact that the
attempt to enforce the antitrust law
has wholesome and deterrent effect.
The national searchlight is now being
turned on the alleged money trust of
New York, commonly known as the
money power of Wall Street. In this
investigation South Carolina has a
prominent part, Congressman Byrnes
being a member of the investigating
committee.
Although the investigation has been
in progress but a few days, sufficient
testimony has been adduced to prove
that an official inquiry into the affairs
and methods of the powerful banking
interests of New York is wise and
timely. Wall Street banks, at least all
whose capital stock amounts to a mil
lion dollars and more, are members of
the New York Clearing House Associa-
ton and through this organization
make such rules and regulations as
will promote their own interests re-
gardless of the rights and interests of
their clientele, which consists of prac-
tically the entire population of the
country.
A matter that is of general interest,
affecting remotely the people of South
Carolina and Edgefeld county, is the
charge that is made by these associa-
ted banks for collecting out-of-town
checks. The average charge for col
lecting these checks is one-seventh of
one per cont, the rate in New York
ranging from 81 to $3.50 per thousand,
while out-of-town collections are made
through the Boston Clearing House at
an average cost of about Z cents per
thousand. Through the collection OF
out-of-town checks alone the New ork
banks reap about S50,OOO,O0O annually.
This is believedsto be too great a bur-
den upon the small banks of the coun-
try and their individual patrons.
The investigation has only begun and
it seems now that before the end is
reached some startling revelations will
be made. The Advertiser believes in
administering justice fairly and impair
TALLY to the corporation and individual
alike, but the powerful corporations
should be as amenable to law as the
humblest citizen. The only way in
which it can be determined whether
these large banks are conforming to
the law and are not employing unjust
methods is by such an investigation as
is now in progress.
From the stump this summer Con-
gressman Byrnes will dilate and disser-
tate at length upon what he saw when
the Wall Street cid" was raised. We
are glad that he is a member of this
commission. 1t is distinct honor.

Tribute to Mrs. ]. G. Long.
written for last week.,


Our community was shocked Sun
day morning when the news spread
that Mrs. Della Lott Long was
dead. Mrs. Long was as well as
usual and was taken suddenly with
paralysis on Friday morning. Only
last Sunday she was at her post of
duty at Sunday school where she
has taught the infant class for sew
eral years. She joined the Baptist
church nearly 81 years ago and has
been actively identified with its
work ever since. She always took
a leading part and consequently
she became one of the brightest
lights in Christian work in the COM
munity. Well can it be said that
she was faithful to the end for she
died in active service. Her last
act in life was preparation to en-
tertain the Y. w. A. of which she
was the leader. Besides these good
works she was one of the leading
members of the Woman's Mission
ary Society. In this she was no
less a leading factor than in the
other departments of the church.
She was also president of the chry-
santhemum association. We could
60 on to enumerate the many other
good deeds she did for her life was
full of them. She loved the young
girls and her work was amongst
them. Our church and the colnmu-
nifty at large has lost one who has
