until they have won the confidence and
in many cases the cordial support OF
their former opponents. Indeed their
unselfsh service, doing what may be
termed the drudgerv of Christian work,
compelled the admiration of thetworld.
During the holidays just past, many
little stocking would have gone empty
and thousands of people in the cities
would have been without Christmas
dinner, had it not been for the efforts
of the men and women who compose
the Salvation Army. Never again scott

serve it all and more.

Makes Good Showing.

When the State department of Agri-
culture was established several years
ago some persons thought the step to
be unwise and useless expenditure of
money. However, it did not take the
man who was chosen for the place,
Col. E. J. Watson, long to prove that
the new department filled a long stand
ing need. Through the efforts of Col.
Watson the department is now self
sustaining. Recently he turned over
to the State treasurer the sum of
Sl2. 500, which he had received during
the past year from the tax derived from
oils, feedstuffs, etc. At its last ses-
sion the legislature appropriated Sl2, 500
for the maintenance..of the agricultural
department for the year 1915. The
State treasurer having received from
Col. Watson the exact amount that he
paid out during the year for its sup
port, the people have received the ben
efts of the department without one
penny of expense.
Before the Department of Agricul-
ture was established, South Carolina
was the dumping ground for the i'm
pure and unsound foodstuffs of the
West, both for man and beast. Un-
sound meat, meal, flour, grain and hay
that were rejected or shut out of other
States by stringent laws were sent
into South Carolina, where no inspec-
tion of any kind was provided. The
department would render valuable SER
vice if it did nothing more than keep
out of the State such unsound products,
but this is the least Of the many bene-
fits. Col. Watson is an alert, active
official who keeps in personal touch
with the agricultural interests along
all lines in every section of the State,
encouraging and inspiring the farmers.
He has delivered hundreds of addresses
at farmers Institutes and on other
public occasions, never failing to prove
helpful to the masses of the people.
The, people are fortunate in hav-
ing at the head of the department of
agriculture such capable, and thor

Salvation Army.

Judging from results obtained along
the line of practical Christianity, there
is no organization to-day in the large
cities that accompllshes more than
does the Salvation Army. Not many
years ago it was subject Of jest and
ridicule, many questioning the sincerity
of those engaged in this form of Chris
tian service. Without needing or
being discouraged by the jeers and
faunts of thoughtless and uniformed
critics, those who composed this body of

head and fevered brow prevented
her taking her accustomed
place around the fireside.

funeral was conducted from the

THE ARIsTOCRACY OF HONOR.

We hear much of the aristocracy of
birth, and we never felt that a man
who had such honors thrust upon him
deserved any great amount of credit.
He inherited the blessing, if it be a
blessing. His own accomplishments,
energy and character did not bring
the prize to him. He can be as mean
spirited as dog, yet retain his inheri-
tance, and for that reason we have
little use for that empty honor.
But, as one grows older, enters into
the circle of men who carry on the
worlds work, a new brand of ariSto.
crat is discovered. Perhaps the word
"aristocrat" is misleading. We refer
to the man who is scrupulcusly hon
est, who refuses to take short cuts to
wealth, who scorns to deviate hairs
breadth from the path of rectitude
We come to discover that in every
community there is a small circle, a
select circle, one may say, that is
composed of men whose word goes far.
They are considered good moral risks.
They perform their promises. They
guard we'll their obligations. This
small circle is worth much to a COM
munity. They are responsible for the
spirit of confidence that is of necessity
at the bottom of all real prosperity
They form the aristocracy of honor.
The young man, beginning his bus
mess career, does not know of the
existence of this select circle If he
takes the lax view of business in
tegrity he will never make the discov-
cry. If he begins to build his bus
mess wisely he will soon find the
reality of the inner circle. He will be
admitted to this aristocracy of honor.
He will find himself in company with
the real pillars Of the business world,
and he will find that it is worth while
to abide in such company.
