fence. Upon reflection, better way
suggests itself. "Love worketh no
i'll to ones neighbors." This, applied
to the owner of the fowls, would
cause the said owner to keep the
fowls .at home, or sell them or in
some way get rid Of them, rather
than have them constantly worrying
a, neighbor. On the other hand: It
would cause the. annoyed neighbor to
refrain from violence and from anger
until all other efforts had proven fu-
tile. In the end, if after such effort,
the fowls were still allowed to har-
rass, more stringent efforts should be
used; and such sterner methods, pro-
vided one does not, lose his temper, is
justifable. 1t is even no violation of
the law of love. Love can amputate,
even kill, if amputation or killing is
the best thing that can be done.
Perhaps some reader is saying
"What trivial thing for an editor
to write about!" Your chickens,
scratching in your neighbor's yard
does appear matter of small mo-
ment. But if you will think of the
worry such scratching causes, and
loss as we'll, it would not be consider
ed thing of small moment. If you
had worked fer days preparing beds
for seed in your flower yard or gar
den, then have one-just one-evil
minded, ragged tailed old hen come
flying over the fence and begin
scratching up the seeds before they
began to swell, you would realize
that it is a matter of considerable
moment. Fueds that resulted in
manslaughter have time and again
grown out of just this vexing propo-
sition. If you have fowls that tres.
pass, get rid of them or keep them
fenced in. "Do unto others as you
would have them do to you" "Love
worketh no ill to ones neighbor."

LOVE WORKETH NO EVIL"

The Great Teacher said: "Love
worketh no i'll to ones neighbor."
There is no more profound, funda-
mental Illuminating sentence to be
found in all the words of even Christ.
So clearly, so fully and in so few
words is here revealed the basic
principle of right conduct towards
ones fellows that nothing more need
be said. 1t is only when the princi-
pie is applied to actual experiences
that it begins to show how far it does
reach into human experience. To H.
lustrate: Recently lady of intelli-
gence and refinement requested the
writer to pass judgment upon a GER
tain question. 1t seems, upon first
thought, 20 be a trivial matter. She
wished to know just how to go about
the matter of getting rid of trouble
some chickens belonging, presumably
to other people, and yet allowed to
roam at large. In other words: What
could one do to protect himself from
chickens that were trespassing. The
answer was: Notify the parties own
ing the chickens to keep them off the
premises. If that failed, have the
chickens shot and thrown over the

A BETTER DAY FOR
THE SPARTAN ACADEMY

Tuesday, January 27, the trustees
Of the Spartan Acamemy, in confer
ence with some of the pastors Of the
North Spartanburg, Spartan, Broad
River and Union associations and
with DR.. A. E. Brown, of Ashville,
IN. c., Superintendent of mountain
schools, met at the First Baptist
church, Spartanburg, and decided
that it is time to free the Academy
from the encumbrances that have
made it difficult for the school to do
| its work and that have kept it from
undertaking the greater work that it
could and ought to do. This decision
was in the form of resolution to be-
gin campaign in February to raise
ten thousand dollars, which will free
the school from debt and make it
possible to improve and enlarge.
A committee of ten was appointed
to take charge Of the work. This
number was increased to twelve by
the committee it self. Full announce
Ement of plans will be made when the
committee is ready.
We feel sure that every Baptist
will appreciate the crisis that the
school now faces. Those who know
most about the situation realize that
it is not possible to continue the work
rs it is. The success that the school
has had; the work that it ought to
do and the resources at the command
Of the Baptists, compel them to un-
dertake this task.
We feel sure that every pastor will
lend his aid and will open the way in
his church for the committee to do its
work.

WachuiSCO COH, reU. o.-II ucCauc
evident here today when Senator
Tillman placed in The Congressional
Record letter from H. G. Welborn
of Columbia, president of the Hafhp-
ton mills, regarding the operation of
the New York cotton exchange, that
some interesting times are ahead in
congress on this subject in the, near
future. The letter was referred at the
request of Senator Tilmar to the
committee on agriculture and for
estry for consideration.
81 note with pleasure" Mr.. We'll
born said, "that you have recovered
from your recent indisposition and 1
sincerely hope and trust that you
have regained your strength, for the
Democrats have done so much good
so far and realize that your long ex-
perience and good judgment has
been an aid to the Democrats now
that we have a majority.
"In looking over The Journal of
Commerce for Monday, January 26,
note that it is stated spinner tried
to secure 5000 bales of good mid
ding cotton in New York city, and
that this spinner was asked 1872
points above the quotations of March
cotton, which closed on that day at
1857 cents. According to my addi-
tion this cotton manufacturer was
forced to pay 14.49 cents per pound
for March delivery for spinnable cot
ton, when the New York cotton ex-
change quoted, middTiag cotton' at
1857 cents for March delivery, and
their basis is that good middling cot
ton has a value of 65 points over
middling. According to the New York
cotton exchange quotations this cot
n should have been priced to the
spinner at 1922 cents. Now you can
see that the trading in actual bales
for good middling cotton for March
was on basis of 14.49 cents, and
the theoretical trading engaged in
by the spectators was on basis of
'.22 cents. Now cotton manufac-
turers have to pay the price for good
cotton and make their cloth on that
basis. Yet when we 60 to New York
to sell cloth we always continually
have thrown in our faces the New
York cotton exchange prices, and ac-
cording to this basis of figuring same
is JET cents too low, or for a 700
~ bale, $6.3S. am not giving
MIG s2csptA facts. and the
truth is thaS S14.47 cents represents
lust about what it would cost spin
ner to get good middling cotton for
his mill for March delivery.
"In view Of the fact that the New
York papers continually criticize con-
gress for attempting to regulate the
New York cotton exchange or for
having anything to do with it, 1
thought this information would
probably be worth the while for you
Ito have when the discussions come
up for and against the cotton ex-
change. AS. manufacturer, am
strongly opposed to the New York
cotton exchange as it. is now run. ]
think that it should be abolished or
its prices made to present something
worth the while to the consumer and
producer and not run as gambling
joint"

Judge Louis Cunningham, demo-

public letter in which he severely
denounces Senator Patterson and
clearly indicates that he intends to

quite lengthy. Judge Cunningham
takes exception to Senator Patter-

maintains that Patterson, " his
