Men Do Not Respect Flirts
The Flirting Woman Is Peculiar to America Abroad She Is
Regarded as of Light Character.

No man will follow a woman
many blocks If she gives him no
encouragement. Not unless he is
a highwayman or a lunatic. If she
refuses to look at him he will
give up the chase finally.
There are many men of a cheap
type who make advances to women
In public places, without any
cause. But If the advance is ig-
nored or resented, it is not re-
peated
Let no woman imagine she is
possessed of peculiar or unusual
attractions because she has these
experiences.
And let her rest assured, If she
responds in any way to the ad-
vances of strangers-of men to
whom she has not been properly
presented-that she will be re-
garded lightly by these men, and
her name will be used by them in
ways which would bring the blush
to her cheek, could she listen.
Fathers, brothers, husbands, are
always indignant when women of
their own are subjected to such
attentions from strangers. Even
when they are subjecting other
women to such attentions.
1t is curious fact that most
men have higher ideals for their
daughters, sisters and wives than
most women have for themselves.
This is because women SO fire.
quently allow their vanity and
self-conceit to blind their judg-
ment.
Over in foreign lands lin all for
eign lands), a woman who per-
mits any man to show her the
least attention in a public place
(any strangely, at once brands
herself as a woman of light char
acter.
And that is what she is, here or
anywhere in reality; even though
she may be guilty of no immoral
thought or act; yet she Is so de-
void of the finer instincts and at
tributes which make up worthy
womanhood that she is light
weight in character.

THERE was a handsome Span
lard passing along a street;
and he glanced, no doubt,
admiringly at a beautiful woman,
sitting in her carriage, before a
shop entrance.
The woman met his glance with
a half smile. The man opened the
carriage door and took a seat be-
side the woman.
She screamed and ordered him
out.
But you smiled at me" the
man said. when a woman smiles
at me, | think she likes me to sit
beside her"
You fool, 1 was only flirting"
the woman retorted.
81 am a Spaniard, and we do not
understand the word flirting" the
man replied. And l am no fool.
The woman who fiirts with
strange man is the fool"
The man was quite right
Only in America is that type of
woman found; the woman who
in reality is not vicious; yet who,
by her conduct in public places,
and toward strangers, compels an
observer to question her morality
and responsibility.
There are women who do not
seem to know the fine distinction
between a mans admiration and
his curiosity to test her good
sense. Such women not only en-
courage the attentions of stran-
gers, but frequently boast of these
attentions as proof Of their own
powers to attract admiration.
The wife of a successful busi-
ness man, and a woman possessed
of every earthly blessing. a good
mans love, beautiful home,
health and youth, was heard re-
lating her experiences on a rail-
road journey.
A man had stared at her con-
tinually; finally he had walked
past her two or three times; and
at last had offered her news
paper. She had accepted it; and
the man had talked to her until

To my surprise not one of them,
although they were "men of the

One of them remarked:

Only one of them exhibited more
than a polite interest in the sub
ject. When l gave him a book
upon it, written by one of his own
countrymen, and crowned" by the
Academic Franchise, he showed
some eagerness to trace the topog-
raphy of the ancient battlefield on
his ordinance chart. But still his
fellow officers were little i'm
pressed, and 1t was a great sur
prise for me to find myself in
structing a French officer in some
of the most interesting military
annals of his country.
The lesson of this incident
seems to me to have a universal
application. These men undOubt-
eddy know well the technicalities
of their trade; they are good Of
flcers; they would lead their men

The Moral: Young Men
Learn Your Trade
Thoroughly.

The moral for the young man
just making his start is: Learn
your trade thoroughly, do your
work with conscientious care, but
beware of stopping there, for if
you do you will stay there all your
life. Other men have fought bat
ties on your ground long before
your time, and If you know what
they did you may profit by both
their mistakes and their successes.
Don't neglect and forget the
Caesars of your business because
they lived a long time ago!

ed by them as a mandate from
the people who approved Of them
and their nlatform declarations.
This is a short step in the right
direction. It should lead to much
longer steps, and that quickly.
With so powerful an advocate Of
the early American policy of pref
erential duties In the House as
Oscar w. Underwood, and with
the Administration at last affir-
matively committed to it, ways
and means for strengthening its
effect and scope should receive

The people are much more in
terested in seeing evidences of an
American merchant marine in
foreign trade. worthy the name
and commensurate with the i'm
portance and dignity of the
United States, than they are in
affirmative declarations of policy,
however high-sounding,
After all, it is deeds, and not
words, that count with the intel
ligent people of the United States,
who are, happily, a unit in favor
of a great American shipping

how to handle small bodies Of
troops and how TO obey the direc-
lions Of their commander-in-chief,
but they will never become such
commanders themselves.
No matter what a mans trade
is he must see more than that
which lies just in front Of his nose
if he wishes to rise to the top.
If you know and care little about
the history Of your business you
cannot become great in it. Can
you imagine Napoleon fighting a
battle on a field where Caesar had
fought before him without being
aware of the fact, taking the live
Hest interest in It and perhaps de-
irving advantage from TT Do you
thing that Edison is unacquatnted
with any of the great things that
his predecessors did in electrical
science? Whether knowledge Of
this kind bears directly upon the
precise work you have IN hand or
not, it always broadens your views,
offers valuable suggestions and en-
larges the field of your operations.
A. T. Stewart knew the history
of all the great merchants before

Astor had the story of the fur
trade in America at his fingers

employees of these great men who
knew and cared for nothing ex-
cept the daily details Of their
business who remained employees
all their lives.

TIME GEORGIAN feels par
donable pride in the fact
that the couferees on the
tariff bill have restored to II the
discriminating duty section (sub-
section 7, OF paragraph J, section
81 providing a 8 per cent dis
count Of the duty on imports in
vessels admitted TO American
registration.
Attached thereto Is a proviso
declaring that nothing in the sec

fyins or terminating any trade

sisteutly advocated a return to

The Roar of Mimic Battle
Excites Admiration
Of People.

At such a time the roar Of ar
tillery, the rattle Of musketry,
the galloping of cavalry, the rush
hither and thither of bodies Of
infantry, and the flight Of military
aeroplanes excites the astonish-
ment and admiration of the coun-
try people, marks out the course
of the roads with lines Of floating
dust, and transforms hills, fields
and parks into the image Of a vast
battle-ground.
At night every farm, barn and
chateau shelters, "in the name Of
the law" on the order of the may
ors Of the communes, large numbers
Of soldiers, troopers, horses and

takes possession of your barnyard,
starts its fire to make soup, and
passes the night in your hay NOW.
At 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning
you may be awakened by a re-

whole scene is picturesque, and,

Because the affairs Of the city of
Anderson have been wonderfully sue
| cessful and because more permanent
Improvements have been made dur
ing his administration than during
the several years preceding, Lee G..
Holleman, mayor of Anderson, has
won the title of progressive mayor"
Mayor Holleman Is native of Wal
halla, Oconee county, and Is Al years
or age. After securing a common
school education in Walhalla, Mr..
Holleman moved to Townville, An
derson county, where he remained
only short time. He returned to
his native county, stopping at Sem
eca. After a short residence in that
town he came to Anderson and was
employed by Bleckley 6 Co., general
merchants. When the Peoples Bank
OF Anderson was organized in 1900
Mr. Holleman secured a position as
book-keeper. In a short time he was
made assistant cashier. In 1906,
when the office of bank examiner of
South Carolina was created, Mr.. Hol-
leman was appointed to that position
for term of four years. He only
served two years, however, when he
resigned and came back to Ander-
son to become president of the Peo-
pies Bank, which had been reorgan-
-zied, the capital stock having been
doubled. His bank now has the larg-
est capital stock in Anderson county.
In August, 1912, Mr.. HolIeman was
sworn in as mayor OF Anderson, hav-
Ing defeated three other candidates.
Supported by progressive board of
aldermen and himself being exceed
ingly progressive, Mayor Holleman
has accomplished wonders for his
city. During the short tenure of his
office, about ten months, the city has
spent approximately $4,000 out of
the current funds for Improvements
OF permanent nature. Mr.. Holle-
man holds the position of secretary
and treasurer of the South Carolina
Bankers Association, to which posi-
ton he was elected several years ago.
He is also vice president cf the An
derson Guaranty and Trust Company

Storm Followed Abnormal Heat.
columbia State, July 2O.)

(ColumDla state, July 2O.)
Yesterday brought to Columbia
and vicinity-after night abnor-
maliy productive of discomfort-the
highest temperature reading of the
year so far, and the, highest Of rec
ord in 27 years fer July 10, with two
violent thunderstorms, accompanied
by heavy rain and some hail, which
wrought damage, inconsiderable in
particular cases, but rather extensive
in the aggregate; not to speak of in
ficting acute annoyance of various
kinds on nearly the whole popula-
ton.
Eau Claire, the suburban section
adjoining Columbia on the north,
suffered most in actua, physical dam
age. There two dewlings were struck
by lightning, workmen who had
sought asylum in a tool house were
stunned and blistered and two stores
were flooded. Barns and outhouses
were demolished, blinds wrested
from dwellings and many trees bro
ken or uprooted.
IN the city damage was general,
buC 10 instances Of any magnitude
were reported. There was hardly a
household, however, which did not
suffer inconvenience or some sort as
the result Of the disturbance.
