OUR BROTHERS. KEEPER
philadelphia Record.)


When it was originally remark "a
that one-half the world did not know
how the other half lived it might with
equal truth have been said that one
half the world did not care how the
other half lived
But that has long since seased to be
true. For twenty or thirty years the
curiosity of the more fortunate half
of humanity regarding the condition
of the other half has been persistent.
Not always very wisely directed, and
often, and almost inevitably, impertin-
ent in its invasion of the homes Of
the poor, it has been animated by the
noblest emotions, and with the dis
closures of social workers there has
been rapidlygrowing volume of pup
lie sentiment that demands that con-
ditions shall be improved
1t is inevitable that a good many
impracticable remedies should be pro-
posed. Poverty is not a new condition.
Vice is as old as mankind. AS it used
to be the fashion to attribute all econ
omic ills to vice, so now there is
disposition to attribute all vice %
economic conditions. Neither is true,
but there is a closer relation between
vice and poverty than the present race
of rather immature sociologists rec
ognize. The man who is Incorporate
dooms his wife and children to pow
erty in spite of anything that society
can do.
But of course, there is a great deal
of sufferings that is not attributed to
vice-not even to the vice of others.
The community is busily searching
for remedies, and the most hopeful
fact about this is that sound econom-
les is on the side of philanthropy. 1t
is not true that the labor of little chill
dren is profitable 1t is not true that

cent more in Is hours than they can
in 10; they can produce less. Fatigue
and illness are economic liabilities,
not alone of the individual, but of the
employer himself, and of the commun-
ity. We are never likely to realize
the dreams of the moIe extreme If
the social reformers, but we are GER
tain to make the world a better place
for working men and women, and
place where children will work less
and play more and grow up healthier,
since the world has ceased to ask the
question of Cain and frankly acknowl-
edges that it is its brothers keeper.
1t is significant that at the dinner Of
the board of directory of the Cotton
Garment Manufacturers of New YORK
one of their own number read a poem
of which the following is an extract
Let US wipe the slate of the bitter
score,
Let US, turn the blotted page,
And grant that we owe our workers
more
Than the dole of a living wage"

FARMERS TOO BUSY
TO COME TO TOWN
Fair Weather Favorable For
Work

Americas has been visited by but
few farmers this week, as the oppor-
tunity afforded them for catching up
with delayed work upon the farm kept
them busily engaged there. Because
of the recent rains very little effective
work was done last week, and it VIII
rquire considerable time yet to r.
pair all the damage resulting at that
time. Fields will have to be plowe1
again and put in condition for cotton
planting, which will be in progress
during the next two weeks.
Farmers are still hauling out fer
tilizer, but the quantity used this sea-
son will not equal that of last year, it
is said. Corn has been rep ant d
where the fields were washed up last
week, and with continued good work
ing weather the farmers will soon be
in the excellent condition in which
they were prior to the recent period of
storms and continual rain.

THE CALL OF THE CHURCHES
PHILADELPHIA Record.)

The complaint that the churches are
dying, or that religion is decaying. OF
that there is a separation between the
churches and the working people, is
ard at least as often from churchmen
as from outsiders, but it is not we'll
founded. The call of the churches falls
upon as many willing ears as ever, and
there is substantial reason for believ-
ing that it falls upon more The pocket
nerve is said 10 be the most obdurate
in the human system, and the least re-
sponsive to appeals addressed to emo
tons and convictions. Yet that toug
and insensible pocket nerve responds
to the call OF the churches more than
it ever did. Most of the charitable
and educational work that was left to

THE PART OF WISDOM

1t is characteristic of the thoughtful
man to prepare for trouble when h
knows that trouble is sure to come.
Nothing could be more timely than -
apply this statement to the condition
of the farmer of Sumter county to-
day. The Sumter county farmer knowc
that the boil weevil is sure to come,
but what is he doing to prepare for
the boil weevil.
Every farmer in Sumter coun y
should have a practical knowledge of
the boil weevil before that pest of the
cotton plant arrives in this part of the
state 1t is not as if one were facing
an unknown evil. The farmer here
knows that the boil weeyil is coming
The advent of the weeyil is as sure as
death itself, and it will not be long be-
fore the pest is in the feds of Sumter
county.
The state department of agriculture,
as well as that division of the nation
al government devoted TO the interests
OF the farmer, has made extensive in ,
designations of the boil weevil Maly
bulletins have been issued by the
state department of agriculture rel
ative to the boil weevil Copies of
these publications should be in tie
tands of every farmer in Sumter coun-
ty and in Georgia. If you haven I
copies of these bulletins, get them b.
sending to Atlanta.
The sureness of the approach OF
the boil weevil is one fact, while the
ease with which knowledge of the
boil weevil may be gained is another
fact. The farmers of this state ami
county have at their command the
benefit to be gained from the expert
ence of farmers in all the remaining
section of the cotton belt, practically.
The difficulties through which others
hHve struggled have been recorded to
serve as an aid for the farmers of this
section, if they will only avail them
selves of it.
1t is the part of wisdom for tn :
farmers of the county to arm them
selves with knowledge in advance OF
the coming of the boil weevil. This
may be done and done easily. Vigil
ance and watchfulness are the guard
ians of liberty. Freedom from the
boil weevil menace may be CAMEL
readily by those who are alive to the
menace which the boil weevil bears
for those who are unprepared

the churches ages ago is now carried
On by the State, but if any one will OBJ
serve the building of new churches,
the renoyating and enlargement of old
ones, the support given to church
schools, to domestic and foreign mis-
sions and to other religious enterpris-
es, he will reflect that men and women
care good deal about religion OF
they would not pay so much for it.

which is 10000 persons more than e.

believe, relate to the Protestant Epis-
copal churches. At St. Andrews Cath
ollc Church, in lower New York, the at
tendance was larger than ever before.
At st. Peters Catholic Church. also

per cent. above last year. In the city
We believe there was no enumeration
at Lenten services, but centrally locat-
ed services were crowed daily.
Many of the Protestant denomina-
tons make no particular observance OF
Lent, but The New York Sun says: "On
Sunday this past winter Protestant
church attendance has been larger
than in any yeaf in the history of
New York. The proportion of men in
congregations also show an in
crease Doubtless many people are
'oncers" instead of "twicers,'' and
many people are careless about at
tendance, but the way the activities of
the various religious bodies are sus-
tanned refutes the idea that the
churches are losing their hold. All
the denominations have places of
worship in the densely crowded parts
of the city, where the people of small
means live, and their congregations
ought to be studied by the persons
who airily assume that the working
classes and the churches have perm
anently separated.
OF course, the agnostics do not find
anything in most of the churches that
satisfies them. Socialists find that
time spent in church attendance IS
wasted. The single-taxers will not
find their ism propagated there The
church. is total failure in the esti-
nation of many devotees of specific
for social reform. But the greater part
of the community finds worship an es-
sential feature of it's life, attends
church frequently, and gives for the
cause rather better than ever before.

A Suggestion.

To the Editor Of The Herald and
News-As one deeply interested in the
educational development Of the coun-
ty and especially Of r1y home coulmun-
ity I rejoice that the trustees and
other public spirited citizens of Po-
maria are building such a splendid
school house-a most commendabIe
step in the right direction-to take the
place of historic old Bethel Academy.
Let me Suggest to the trustees and
other proper authorities that On the
completion and dedication of the new
building, home coming or reunion
of all the living teachers and pupils,
past and present, be arranged for, and
that that scholarly and Incompatible
teacher, David Benjamin Busby, be
urged to make the address, thus sig
nalizing this worthy enterprise with
appropriate ceremonies. And let the
paper OF Professor Busby, intensely
interesting 1 know it will be both from
the standpoint of history and sshol-
arship, be preserved among the ar
chives of the school, that generations
yet unborn may read what one COM
munity has done for its State and
church.
