100 Per Cent.

Do you reckon there is a perfect
Christian on earth? OF course there
are none whose conduct is perfect, but
are there any who even try to follow
all of Christ's teachings? / doubt It,
Christ wasn't a good business man. He
lacked the trading instinct, and he
didn't regard money very highly. AS
a consequence, those who profess to
follow him are often hard put to it to
square their money-grabbing lives
with the teachings they profess to
heed. Christ's religion was and is the
uttermost in unselfshness. Any real
Christian would suffer torments Of
conscience if he possessed a crust of
bread while any one else hungered.
No real Christian could build himself
house while less fortunate folk
went without adequate clothes. In
short, the possession of any goods or
any property is incompatible with the
true spirit of Christianity. Give to
him that asketh; lend, and ask 1t not
again; if he demand thy coat, give him
thy cloak also; do good to them that
despitefully use you; sell what thou
hast and give to the poor; take no
thought of the morrow; lay up no
treasure-these are the teachings of
Christ There is hunger and suffering
the world over If you have as much
as dime and fail to deliver it up for
these needy ones, you cannot claim
genuine Christianity. If you don't like
this doctrine, don't quarrel with me
about it. Quarrel with Christ. He
taught it. But whatever you do, be
honest with yourself and the world. If
you can't live up to Christ's standard,
don't try to get around it by asserting
that there is no such standard. That
is stupid Let us confess that the cost
Of being a Christian is too great and
that we prefer being a little selfish
and laying up little money here and
now, trusting to mercy unmixed with
justice over there.-Fountain Inn Tri-

A Menace.

The recent bolt from the Democratic
primary by certain citizens Of Beau
fort should receive prompt attention
at the hands Of the Democratic state
executive committee and those partici-
pating ruled out of the party. This
was a local affair, but If allowed to go
unnoticed by the proper officials, lays
the foundation for the disruption Of
the primary system. These men, fall
ing to control the primary, bolted its
action, and joining with a sufficient
number Of negroes went to the legal
election and with the aid Of their ne
gro allies carried their point. The ne
gro is contented to remain out of pol
itics and the white people Of South
Carolina should encourage them in
this, but now and then a coterie Of
whites would use them as tools to fur
ther their own selfish ends, and, as in
this case, return to the Democratic
fold and be in the front rank yelling
"nigger." In this case they used them
to prevent the collection Of municipal
taxes from two or three wealthy citi-
zens to the detriment Of the less favor
ed people Of the town, and the negro
voters themselves for that natter

Lay On the Lash.

Last week, in the town Of Greers, in
Spartanburg county, young girl,
scarcely 16 years Of age, committed
suicide. AS she writhed in the agonies
Of death from poison, the old story Of
faith and trust in faithless lover,
was told by her. Rather than face the
world in disgrace as wearer Of the
scarlet letter, she closed her eyes to
this world and trusted to the fortunes
Of the next. We do not mention the
matter now to add to the sorrow Of
those who are left behind. nor to add
to the pathos of the story. But we
do believe that there is no punishment,
which it is the part Of man to inflict,
which should not be applied to the
man who leads girl like this into dis
grace and then deserts her. Surely
the statute law of this state should be
so amended that man who seduces
a woman under promise of marriage,
and then deserts her, should be declar-
ed a felon and feel the full measure
Of the punishment provided by the
law for a person guilty Of murder, ar
son or rape. The moral depravity in
these cases is not greater than in the
other-Abbeville Press and Banner.

Why Talk Hard Times?

The average increase in the national

1904 its estimate was $107 900, 900 900,

The United States in this short Pc
riod has added to its resources a sum
within $5,OOO,OOO,0OO as large as the
total wealth OF Great Britain and Ire
land, an amount equal to wealth of
Germany. 100000, 100000 more than
the wealth of France, twice the wealth

Now a Creditor Nation

Secretary of Commerce Redfeld

broke in Europe we have passed from
the position of a heavy debtor nation
to that OF creditor nation. The adj
verse balance of $4,000 900, OOOhas been
wiped out, and at the close of business

yea this huge hum will be increased to

Redfield's Office prove hat the change

increased exports and the practical

The Republic unhesitatingly pro-

point out the facts in the government
statistical reports of imports support
ing such a statement. In order that
the good faith of the challenge may
clearly appear and that there may
be no chance Of evasion OF the issue,
we challenge our contemporary to con-
line its analysis to the five months ly-
Ing between April / and September l,
1914, each Of which showed balance
OF trade in the foreign market adverse
to the United States.
What is the evidence that the I'm
derwood tariff virtually opened our
doors for the admission of foreign
products and manufactures, and the
evil effect of this breach in the tariff
barricade was making itself strongly
manifest long before the war began?"
General indictments have no standing,
either in law or common sense. Let
this be made specific. What were the
changes In the free list which proved
disastrous to American industry?
What were the changes in rates Of
duty? What group of manufactures
suffered and how much did they suf-
fer?
If the American people have been
humbugged and hurt by certain por-
lions of the Underwood tariff, they are
certainly entitled to know what those
portions are and how much they have
hurt; 1t is the public duty of the Re-
publican press to enlighten us. Like
