Evidently there are others thinking
as do The Intelligencer and the lady
who discussed the matter OF employ.
ers holding on to their employees
during ethe time Of this temporary
dull times. 1t is obviously right and
proper that hose who have been
faithful and have helped business
man build up his fortunes. should be
given some consideration when the
winds of adversely begin to blow, and
not be cast aside as 30 many pieces
or machinery. Then, this depres sicn
is sure to prove only temporary.
while business is adjusting itself 10
the new and changed conditions. AL
ready there are many signs OF return
Ing prosperity. and our prediction is
that very soon we shall wonder why
we were ever 80 pessimistic as to
question the ability Of our conditions
to adjust themselves and conserve the
best interests OF the country.
The Charleston News and Courier
has the following to say on this very
live subject:
The story is being told in tho
streets that Is worth putting into print.

Keep all OF you on for a year longer.
II the war isn't over by that time and
II business hasn't imp:n yed, we'll have

That is pluck; that ls fair dealing.
II there were more employers like

the war has injured business. Most

Dut many OF the little men cannot
stand 1t unless the big men help. Most
or the big men can afford to carry

DO So may cost them some money. but
1t Will not ruin them. We hear a lot
about the generosity of the American
people to stricken Belgium. What
about the generosity or lack of gen.
erosity OF the American business man
towards his clerk
In many cases, 0f courfe, retreach-
ment through reduction OF the num-
Der OF employees is absolutely neces-
sary: But 1t is safe to bay that many
efficient men are being thrown out of
employment simply because their em-

sense Of fair play shown by the Char

ROAD BONDS AND UNEMPLOY
MEM

made favorable to the plan proposed
recently by The Intelligencer to vote
q bond issue for Anderson county for
the purpose OF building roads. promin-
ent suburban resident said few days
ago: II trust you will push your bond
issue proposition. and that we shall
soon have chance to vote for good
sized Issue for Anderson county for
the purpose Of building some perman-
ant roads," Another said: II am un-
alterably opposed to continuing as we
have been doing. filling in mud-holes
for the first rainy spell to undo what
has been done. What we need is a
bond Issue and some permanent work
to be DONE"
These gentlemen discussed this
proposed bond issue In the light of
what could be done for building a per-
manent and lasting system Of roads
In Anderson county. There !s lust nov
another very good reason for voting
bonds for immediate work on the
roads. and this has been mentioned In
an editorial appearing in the last is-
sue of The Saturday Evening Post,
which Is here reproduced
Every commercial country has a
banking reserve certain large sum
In gold that is set apart and lies un-
touched from month to month and
year to year In ordinary times, but
which may be drawn on in an emer-
gency. Thus. in the war crisis gold
that may have lain unmoved for q long
period passed out of the Bank OF Enl;-
land.
We believe It would be possible for
q country to create an Industrial re-
cl-ve. Every important natton's labor
statistics shOv pretty constant re-
currcnce OF unemployment. For three
or four years labCr may be quite fully
employed. Then business slackens and
tho number Of men out OF fork rises
until times improve. These. recurring
seasons OF largo unemployment take
q heavy toll OF labor. Savings disap-
pear; debes accumulate; familieR for
meHly self-aupporting become depend
ent.
As matter Of fact we, know the dull
seasons are going TO recur, because
they always have. In every country
there is q vast deal OF public work
done by. the cities, states and central
governmep.5. In every. COUNTRY the
public employs labor most freely ex-
actly when private employers do--tflat
is. when times are, good and credit
Ia easy. When times are poor and
bonds not easily salable the public
cats down employment. It ought to be
the other way. BY Intelligent fore-
thought 1t niSht be made So public
work, that 10 might be made o sort
OF Industrial reserve to tall back on
when private work alackened.

endon County, S. c., January 7th, 1854
and departed this life at his home near
Manning August 3lst, 1914. survived
by his wife and ten children.
When a young man, he was baptized
into the fellowship OF this Church upon

Deacon.
In 1862 he entered the service of the
Confederate States as member OF the

was declared.
In every relation OF life he was found
faithful. A good husband and father,
he had lived to see his chief ambition
realized; all his children come to ma
turity and followers OF our Lord. He
was so upright and honorable citizen,
faithful soldier of the South, and q
loyal soldier of the Cross.
Now therefore be it resolved by the
members OF Manning Baptist Church,
that in the death of Bro. W. T. Touch
berry we have lost one of our most use.
full and best loved members. and val.
ued member of our Board of Deacons.
We shall miss his regular presence
when we assemble for worship, as well
as his wise counsel in the deliberations
of our business meetings, and his earn.
est, devout interest and activity In all
the cause of Christ.
Resolved further, that we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the family OF our
bereayed brother. We share their
sorrow, and we also share their Chris
tian privilege OF looking forward to the
time when we shall all gather around
the throne, never to part, and he will
be one oil or assembly again.
Resolved further, that these resolu.
tlons be spread upon the minutes OF
this Church, copy furnished the fam,
lily of Bro. Touch berry, and that oul
local newspapers and the Baptist Cour'
ier be requested to publish the same.
Respectfully submitted by,
TEE BOARD OF DEACONS.
Adopted by the Church in Conference
