ious accident when small piece of

Tobbie. the little daughte rof Mr.. and

For several weeks we have been
reading OF the movement in Ander-
son to wipe out the evil of the liquor
trade, and we have also followed close
ly the articles In the Intelligencer in
which our editor so fearlessly and
courageously made the stand for
right, regardless Of what the conse-
quences might be, or how far public
opinion would uphold him No one
can help admiring such a spirit and
the people of Anderson county should
be proud OF the fact that(at the head

IT been the place for the practice of
those things which help to tear down
city. and when her citizens are full
ly aroused to the need of this CAM
paign much good will be accomplish
I'd. The organization which has al
ready been fully discussed will be
means to this end. 1t may not save
every evil dOer, but 1t might save one
boy, and IL 1t does the effort will be
fully repaid. On last Sunday every
Baptist Sunday school in all our bright
Southland studied the Temperance
lesson" and how forcibly it brought
to mind the truth that every man is
his brothers keeper. In the busy cares
If every day life and in the mad rush
for material things, the duty of man to
man seems to be, forgotten, and we
pass by the brother who is a slave
to the demon of drink without even a
backward glance. We never think of
1t as duty to stretch. out our arm
into the tossing, surging sea of in
temperance and lift up those who
are being carried away daily Men
do not always willfully 60 in the
wrong direction, but begin by grad
ually straying from the path OF right
1t is at this point that kindly smile,
helpful word will do SO much to re-
store courage to. those in danger of
losing their manhood. So few of us
realize the weight OF personal in
fluence. 1t touches one life and that.
another, and still another and SO on,
on, on. until Hike ,the, mighty waves
of the sea, 1t gathers volume and
becomes greater aslib goes! Each life
has an influence either for good or
evil--and 1t is continually being ex-
erted one way or the other. Half the
young men of today would nnl sink
into the depths of sin IL 1t we're not
for somebody's influence Some are
strong enough to withstand, but it
takes courage. Not all the herpes are
on the battlefield. a. The oravest men
are not always under marching or.
ders. Who knows how many battles
have been fought against the ranks of
sin, even in the, city OF Anderson? Who
knows how many bright boys have
wrestled with the influence of an evil
companion against the Influence of q
pure, good mother. 1t requires true
bravery 10 win In d fight OF this KIND,
but '-Ie that ruleth himself is greater
than he that taketh city."
How splendid 1t would be If every
boy and every girl as we'll, could look
up, in spite of all evil influences and
adverse circumstances, towards that
which is true and right-not because
somebody tried to help them-but be-
cause they should be true to them
selves and their honor. Reading in O
recent issue of the Intelligencer the
letter OF Mr.. G. Cullen Sullivan, which
was so full of human sympathy, re-
called time not long ago when this
same man addressed a. small group of
boys and girls. It was not temper
ance lecture, but II reached the heart
of every listener TWAS an appeal to
life OF truth and worth; an appeal
that they should make for themselves
"a place of trust and honor among their
friends; that they should strive not
for fame. but towards thu goal fof a
well spent life.
Would that all Of our leading men
and citizens would pause long enough
10 think what 1t will mean to keep
the youth Of the nation clean and un-
spotted. S
