PREACHER CLOTHES.

"
There are two extremes in the min
ister1s garb which should be avoided,
One of them is the business suit which
some preachers wear on all occasions.
We heard brother remark on one oc-
casion that he tried to dress as much
like drummer as possible and that he
had often been mistaken for s'Knignt
Of the grip" Well, he ought not to,
dress that way. A short sack coa.Bon
q minister in the pulpit is an abomt
nation. That kind of a coat on any
man who appears in public on the
stage is not in good taste. Lawyers,
lecturers and preachers ought all to
dress alike and for the reason that,
they are the centre of observation
when performing their public duties.
Nothing else is so attractive and ap-
propriate as neat Prince Albert coat
that clings to the form but does not
sag. These are not clerical" clothes,
but are appropriate for all public
speakers. There ought never to be
any clerical clothes. And this leads
US to speak of the other extreme which
ought always to be avoided. Episcopal
preachers and Roman Catholic Priests
have always been known on account Of
their pug dog collars and their vests
that button behind We mean no re-
Election at all on these gentlemen when
we say that we would vote against
calling a pastor with that kind of tog-
gerry on If he was as big as John
Broadus, We regret to see that our
Presbyterian brethren, In a few of our
cities, are adopting the pug dog collar,
the coat with the boiler rivets and the
waist coat that enfolds the body like
black sash. The writer was rea ed
among Presbyterians and all the
preachers of his boyhood wore mems
clothes. We hope the contagion that
has begun will not spread. So far as
we know not single Baptist preacher
in the state In the South advertises
his calling by his clothes. The Metho-
dist people are usually very sensible
in the way they dress. Up North the
thing is different One of the greatest
Baptist preachers in the United States
never appears in his. own pulpit with
{out his gown. He means no harm,
,but does some by adopting this fool
ish style. 1t is not sign of humility,
But OF Tie OppOSIt0 u dpQOhT III u41-
usual garb before the public. 1t is an
evidence of ministerial vanity to thus
call public attention to ones calling
through the clothes that he wears. It
is not his garments but his message
that should distinguish the minister OF
the gospel, any anything in the world
that tends to distract attention from
the message should heA avoided. The
Best dressed 1man in the community is,
he whose clothes makes no impression

that shriek can spoil an otherwise
tasteful outfit. And when a preacher
appears with clothes that clamor Tor

kreal business, is to that extent obscur-

the corresponding period, and owing
to business depressions brought on by
the European war it is not believed
that Hendersonville will entertain as

THOUSANDS DIE NEEDLEssLY
IN VAIN SEARCH FOR HEALTH

From 10000 to $4,000 consumptives
go West in search of health every year.
Such is an estimate made by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis in a state
ment issued today based on recent in
vestigations of the United States Public
Health Service. The Association con-
cludes that there are at present be-
tween 100000 and 100000 consumptives
In the States of California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and Colorado.
Investigations were made during the
past year by Surgeons of the q. S. Pub
lie Health, Service, p. M. Darlington in
California; e. A. Sweet in Texas and
New Mexico, and A. d. Foster in North
and South Carolina. The National AS
sociation draws the following conclu-
sions from these studies: :4s.-s...,,
I'D Thousands of consumDtives at
tracted by the climate migrate every
year to the West and Southwest While
no definite figures can be procured, the
facts ascertained would indicate an
annual migration of al. least 10000 and
fornia. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico
and Texas. c .t.,...
(2) From 80 to so per cent of these
consumptives are hopeless cases and
die within six months after their arriv-
al, the percentage of those dying with
in 30 days running as high as 15.
(3)f A large, but unknown precent-
age die In almshouses or are the recfp-
tents of charity, and the gr eat majority
Of these could have been made com
Portable in their last days il they had
stayed at home among friends and rel
atives.
s(4l From 40 to so per cent of all
deaths from tuberculosis in the West
and Southwest are of natives of other
states, nearly so per cent coming from
Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and New York
CD People who can afford it and
who are not in too far advanced stages
OF tuberculosis will find the climate of
the West and Southwest and aid in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
a(6l No one should think of going
West or Southwest for his health un-
less he, has at least 81 900 above his
railroad fare, and can leave his family

MIR. PATTON LEAVES SOON
FOR GREENYILLE ROAD WORK.

When in Greenville, s. C., Saturday
P. f. Patton, the newly elected road
supervisors for Greenvi1le county, s. c..
was advised to assume his new duties
at an early date He promised to be-
gin road building there about Aug. 1.
The attempt to restrain by law the
issuance of road bonds has not stopped
the road work. The representatives
of the county in the General Assembly
and the road authorities have instruct
ed Mr.. Patton to proceed with the
work.
Mr.. Patton viii not resign for some
time his work as road supervisor for
Henderson county, al, least not until
he finishes the 5Edneyville road, which
is under construction.
1t is not known who will be his
Successor.

in comfortable circumstances; and no
one should go who is in an advanced
stage of tuberculosis or who has not
taken careful medical advice.
I'd Tuberculosis can be cured in
any part Of the United States, and it is
far better for consumptiqe of moder-
ate means, such as the average work
ingman, to go to sanatorium near at
bome than to go West and live in a
more favorable climate without proper
food and medical care.
go Finally, there may be plenty of
jobs in, the West and Southwest for
able-bodied men, but the consumptiye
will find the greatest dificulty in get
ting work. and no one should ge Wesr
therefore in the hope of getting job.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
viii send free literature or give infor,
nation about sanatoria and hospitals
to any one inquiring at its Office, 10t
