Selling hay by measurements, as is
often done, IS really only a rough es-
innate OF the amount sold, as different
stacks OF the same kind OF hay settle
differently. To be accurate and save
money all products sold from the farm

Editor County Record

Editor County Record
More than one third of the voters
of Williamsburg county have signed
a petition for an election looking to-
ward the re-establishment of a dis
pensary of whiskey here. | connot
but wonder how many of the names
on that petition are also on the
church roll? | wonder if it is posi-
bic that most of those signing that
petition are protesting Christians?
We all have known that whiskey has
been sold in violation of the law ev-
er since it has been forbidden. 1t will
continue to be sold by the Goddess,
80 long as there is a devil in the
world, since it is the devils most
powerful tool; but surely this does
not excuse one of Chist's soldiers for
going over on the devils side and
helping do his work for part Of the
profits. To those who are not church
members this article is not address
ed, but those who are need to do
some serious thinking on the subject.
AS we have said, we know that this
lawless work has been going on and
we know, too, that the crime which
has resulted from it cannot be esti.
mated; but now are you ready step
forward and say: Il am willing to
let this crime 60 on and will legalize
it or call it right if you will let me
take hand in it, In a respectable
way and give me part of the money
you make. We need the money to
build our sidewalks and beautify our
homes and schools, even if it does
take our beautiful boys and girls
and make of them just such men
and women as the devil wants them
to be-" Oh. friends! I could write
or talk indefinitely on this subject,
for my heart is so filled with a desire
for you to see and do the right thing
in this all important matter. There
is every reason for a Christian to
vote against legalizing the sale OF
whiskey and no reason in favor OF
you doing so. Of course you can
make money by so doing, but you
can't do wrong for money and at the
same time be true to God. Has He
not told you that you cannot serve
two masters? You are mistaken il
you think it right to choose the least
of two evils. A Christian must
choose no evil at all. There are nc
great and small sins with God. Bro
ther Christian, you made serious
mistake when you signed that dis
pensary petition. but it is not too late
to rectify the mistake. Let it be
known that you have reconsiderec
the matter and then vote to the hon
or of your Master when the election
day comes. Don't imagine that Goo
cannot take care of His own cause
What He wants is for you to be true
to Him. Just set yourself firmly
against this and every other evil and
trust the outcome to God. He will
take care of His own and in His OWL
time the workers of iniquity will be
cast into outer darkness. Don't
compromise. There are just two
sides to this conflict. Are you really
on Gods side? Then be true to Him.
This is sent forth with the earnest
prayer of A CHRISTIAN.

NEW YORK. July Pat could
rot be said that the stock market
today was clearly Influenced in any
way by new developments tending to
affect sentiment or values.
Neither Secretary McAdoo's state
rnent regarding the New York banks
nor the violent strength Of prices in
the grain markets was an obvious in
sfuence over the Wall Street share
list which seemed To be still governed
largely by the evidences furnished
few weeks ago M the technical posi-
ton Of stocks coinelding with a favor
able opportunity for inaugurating a
recovery.
Early Selling Pressure
There was some early selling pres
sure. but after all the market was
iaes heavy during the day than the
leaders appeared and closing price
changes were nothing worse than ir-
regular. while good deal Of strength
was maintained among the issues Of
which the Fries are typical at GER
tain stages of any swing.
There was a gratifying feature in
the money market. namely. a sharp
decline In sterling exchange which
may have been the effect OF payment
fer securities purchased by Europe.
Steel Quarterly Statement
II was not until after the close Of
the stock exchange that the United
State Steel corporations quarterly
statement for the June quarter was
published. This was so excellent that
optimistic expectations regarding 1t
may have helped to sustain the share
list during the session.
AT that II contained n surprise even
fer the most optimistic because the
extreme advance estimates Of net
earnings had hardly exceeded $40
100000. whereas the actual showing
was s41.219s13,. or the second best
return for the second quarter Of the
year The record was made in 1907,
when earnings aggregated s4S, SOB
ro5. The next best after that was
340IT696o In 1910.
