The Rev. DIR. Philips Ill.

Chester cor. Rock Hill Herald, 25th.
Much concern regarding his health
is felt here for the Rev. D. c. Philips,
D. D.. the beloved pastor of the Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian church.
He was granted a leave of absence by
the officers of his church and first
spent 10 days in Georgia, but has re-
turned home and left for Baltimore
where he will seek advice from some
of Americas most celebrated physl-
clans. His indisposition is caused by
nervousness. DR.. Philips is one OF the
most able and eloquent ministers OF
this denomination. Prior to coming to
Chester he held an important pasto-
rate at Newberry. There is not bet
ter loved man in all Chester than
DR.. Philips, and his absence, his many
friends hope, will be a short one.

Third and Eighth Commandments.


The profane man that curses and
swears" must have reason Tor 40
ing so. Think of it. The preachers have
denounced the habit for more than
one hundred years, and are still
preaching against profane swearing,
Yet is is still here and plenty OF 1t.
It seems that preaching against this
habit is almost a waste of time. IL
msn are determined to curse and to
swear profane oaths in the face OF all
this opposition, there must be
strong reason for it. And it may be
that several reasons could be given
an6 the reason that would apply to one
man would not apply to another man.
But yet there may be an underlying
cause that would apply to most cases,
and branching out from this all the
other cases of swearing could be ex-
planned 1 have sought examples IN
Bible characters apd such as l mno
annear to indicate disappointed
CRATER That is the person wanted
to give what belonged to other peo-
nle and because he could not gain what
was properly another persons, he must
nse profane cursig is resentment. |
suppose that many who use pro1ane
swearing do SO as a resentment TOT
real or supposed injury. In some
cases it is possible that the profane
svearer may use the words unWlttlng-
". not realizing that he is using holy
names Improperly. Probably we could
not accuse such a pevson of being dis
honest. But for some reason he is
inclined to be reck loss in the use OF
his own and other peoples property.
He is willing to throw away the molly
name oe God and in the same way
he would throw away his and other
peoples rights or property. Within
the past few years profanity has
been held in check and since the pro-
fame man is taking a back seat, the
man who cheats or outs extraVagant
nrices on things is being called on TO
take back seat too 1t is probable
if we could stop the profanity of holy
names we would stop cheating, steal
ing. gambling and r"bbing.
Stop the breaking of the third COM
mandment and the ',r>aking of the
eighth would be stopped.

Postmaster in Spartanburg.

Spartanburg Herald.
The appointment of P. H. Fike as
postmaster in Spartanburg is happy
issue out of the "postofice situation. >
We congratulate Congressman John
son upon his selection and the whole
town is congratulating itself upon
the prospect of having Mr.. Fike in
this important position.
First. Fike is a newspaper man,
which means he is a student OF hu-
man nature and a philosopher, He
is popular with the people of Spar
tanburg from the lowest to the high
est and his appointment will carry
more genuine pleasure into the hearts
of people everywhere than any selec-
ton Mr.. Johnson could have made.
Second Fike is efhcient-in the
modern meaning of the word. He
does his work thoroughly and when
he becomes postmaster he will be
efficient and painstaking. And with
it all he will meet the public with
that serene smile that has made him,
possibly, the most popular man in
town.
Mr.. Fike has been engaged in news
paper work in Spa"tanburg for II
years, and is acquainted, perhaps, with
more people in the city than any other
man. His unfailing courtesy and fair
dealing have won for him the esteem
of all who know him. He was con-
nected with the Herald for ten years
before he accepted the position OF
secretary to Mr.. Johnson, and retur.ed
to this newspaper only last Monday,
giving up his desirable occupation in
Washington in order that he might re
side in Spartanburg, his home town.

EXTEND THE LINE.
From Augusta to Columbia. Thence
Via Laurens on up to Greenville,
Parr Shoals Power.

Columbia, S. c., April 27.-The an
nouncement from Augusta that the
contract for the construction of the
Georgia & Carolina Railway, which
is to extend from Augusta to Column
bia, had been awarded was received
with general interest by all Colum-
bians. Business men OF Columbia
We're delighted with the announcement
and expressed the opinion that the
new electric and steam lie would
mean much to both Augusta and Co.
lumbia as we'll as all cities and towns
in Western Carolina.
There is a movement on foot to build
a trolley line from Columbia to Green
vile by way of Laurens. In that
event Augusta would be given an in
terurban connection viii. the rich
Piedmont section Of South Carolina,
which would mean much from a trade
standpoint The question Of construc-
inc the new line was discussed at a
meeting of business men held here
during the last general assembly,. 1T
is thought that should this line be
constructed the power to be developed
at Parr Shoals on Broad River, twenty
two miles above Columbia, will be
used. The company is spending sew
eral million dollars and $4,000 horse
power will be developed. The inter-
urban in this State is rapidly develop
ing. Greenwood is now connected with
Grenville and Anderson by an cleo
tric line, and work on the road from
Greenville to Spartanburg is progress
ing. The road;-it is said, will be even
tually carried to Charlotte. Thus Au
eusta would be placed in connection
with North Carolina cities by electric
line. There is also some talk of ex-
pending the line from Greenville to
Atlanta.
The preliminary survey for the
Georgia & Carolina Railway was pre-
pared by the Shand Engineering COM
pany of Columbia II is very probable
that the Augusta & Aiken Railway
will be used from Augusta to Aiken
From Aiken the line pases through
that county to point on the Southern
Railway near Ridge Spring. From
there the Southern is followed to Co
lumbia. The road will touch Bates
burg, Leesville and Lexington.

Lexington, S. c., April, 27-The an

ton. and this the people realized sew
eral years ago when they gave the
right of way for the roadbed merely
for the asking.
The line vii traverse more than
thirty miles through this county, pass
ing through a rich, fertile country, and
property values will be largely IN
creased.
