Changing the Clock

"No doubt there is something to be said for a 'daylight-saving' scheme when uniformly applied by national law to the compact industrial coun- tries of Western Europe. There would be something to be said for it if it could be uniformerly applied to the northern half of that part of the United States which uses standard Eastern time. But that would require uniform action by dozen states, which we are hardly likely to get.
 As a local movemcnt-involving a change of the clock in one city but not in the next-it would be a great nui- sance, confusing railroad timetables and many other intercity arrange ments. One would not know whether ten o'clock really meant nine o'clock or ten or eleven.
 "The scheme was elaborately dis cussed in England for a number of years and rejected. It is now adopt ed there, and by other belligerents, in the hope-no doubt-of getting lit tie bigger outturn from munitions factories; and for a compact industrial country, which runs on one time any way, it may have advantages.
 "The United States, from coast to coast, runs on four times, In the vast stretches of country that are prcdomi- nantly agricultural no dayight-say- ing scheme is necessary, for they al- ready save all the daylight there is. Changing the clock has not been ad- vocated here as national measure or even, seriously, so far as we know, as a state measure. As merely local measure it would be a nuisance.
 Any industrial establishment that wishes to save daylight can do so by merely posting a notice that, in sum mer, work will begin and end an hour earlier There is, of course, no Ob- jcction to that; and it may have ad- vantages. But there are decided ob- jections to changing the local time. An English contemporary somewhat harshly characterizes the scheme as a new way to play the old game of Let's pretend"

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Frequent homicides and suicides
suggest the existence Of a very trifing
estimate Of the sacredness and value
Of human life. It is hardly consistent
with sound reason to attribute this to
mental arrangement or mere physical
degenratiOn. We fear that the decay
Of sound moral sense has more to do
with this than anything. and that reck-
less and WantOn destruction of human
life will continue to increase till this
moral sense which is the safeguard of
the soul. is again enthroned.
: No man is safe in cOmpanionship
with another who scouts the idea of
divine authority, nor is his goods or
belongings safe in the keeping of one
who does not believe that all must
stand at last before the judgment seat
Of Christ and give account of the deeds
done in the body. 1t is not the fear
Of the Judgment Of God that marks the
beginning Of soberness and wisdom in
the individual. but ths moral sense and
appreciation of noble and lofty ideals
makes him safe custodian of the life
and interests of his fellow men as well
as of his own life interests. There is.
therefore. little difference so far as
moral turpitude is concerned between
the man who takes his own life and
the one who takes the life of his fell
loW.-Christfan Advocate.

TO OPEN NEXT WEEK.

Columbia. June 14.-With the State
campaign less than one week away,
there never was so little interest in
politics. The campaign will open next
Tuesday at Spartanburg and will con-
tinue for many weeks. Apparently the
people of the state are more interest
ed in their business than the political
fortunes of the candidates. There are
few big issues before the people. Sew
eraI of the state officials, so far, have
no opposition. The, main interest will
be centered in the races for governor
and railroad commissioner. Practical
Iv al Of the members of congress will
have opposition this year. The great
est interest will be in the COMPRESSION
