PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.

1t is but a few months since the lum-
Der industry was in a deplorable con-
dition. Representatives of the largest
lumber interests appeared before the
Federal Trade Commission and ex-
plained why they had fat seasons and
lean, and why the industry was disor-
ganized. They were afraid to Coop
crate among themselves, even to the
extent of forming an association for
the exchange of ideas, because of the
antitrust laws.
Prosperity, however. has returned
even to the lumbermen. The fact that
they are now doing a record-breaking
business does not alter the uncertain
conditions under which the lumber
mills must work owing to the anti
trust laws, but for the time being pros
perity has extended even to this bust
ness.
The Industrial development of the
South is largely responsible for the
increased prosperity of lumber i'll
dustry. AS a n example of what is
happening in the south, the ~incorpora-
tens for the establishment of new en-
teTprises and industries in southern
states during the last ten days have
aggregated a capital stock of approx
imately $4,000, 0O0.
This amount represents the capitai
OF something like a score of new con-
cCrns scattered throughout the south
eastern territory, and most of it is in
vested by southern people, which is q
strong Indication of the permanent re-
turn of better business conditions in
tic south.
All of these new enterprises will
mean employment for more people and
the Inauguration of new p~ay-rolls ia
the south. Many of the new enter
prises will erect buildings, a circum-
stance that is having it's beneficial.
effect upon the lumber market.
Lumber dealers have anticipated al
increased demand, as indicated by the
growing aggregate Of building permits
in the leading cities, and are produc.
ing somewhat ahead of the demand a
the present time.-Washington Post.

GOOD ROADS PAY.

+ It's hard to convince some persons
that good roads pay. They are blind
ed by the cost. They say the price is
too high. They admit benefits, but
insist that they do not balance the
cost.
There are two good reasons for good
roads. One is that they enable farm
| ers to haul heavier loads with less
wear and tear and greater comfort
and the other is that they enable
quicker and easier locomotion be
tween farms, towns and from distant
points.
Last year 100000 automobiles loaded
with out of state tourists entered New
York state and every car left money
there.
Thousands of automobile parties
crossed the continent this past sum
mer and wherever they went they left
money. Formerly this money remain
| ed in the cities and never saw the
country, so to- speak. Good roads
| coaxes it out of it's hiding place.
At Rock Springs, Wyoming. which is
on the Lincoln highway, a $1,000, 900
hotel is being built to take care of au-
tomobile guests. The town has a
population or 6,OUO. AT NOrIn fldLL5,
Neb., a hotel to cost $4,000 is to be
built. and at Fremont, n is to cost
$500, 900. At the Transcontinental
| garage at Evanston, Wyo., more than
500 cars registered during the past
| season. At Cheyenne, Wyo., 1000 out
| of-state cars registered.
The manner in which good roads
are taking" in the west is shown by
the Lincoln Highway through Utah,
| Wyoming and Nevada. In these states
Is per cent of the highway is in good
| condition Is per cent fair and only
| 10 per CEN is bad. And when the
trunk highways are in good condition
| the lesser roads, or feeders, follow
suit in due course.
Considering the great states thai
| they are, Illinois and Kansas have
poor roads. They should be improved
al an early day and the way to, do II
is to educate the people to be road
enthusiasts. The south and southwest
is making widespread experiments
with constructing better roads and is
doing much to reduce the high cost In
other sections.

THE VALUE OF A GOOD NAME.

Along with the value of good soils,
good seed. good livestock, and gooc
farming methods, the young farmer
who would achieve uccess u eVec
bear in mind the value of a good name.
The man OF his word, the man of hon
or whose reputation for square dealing
is known to all the countryside, has an
asset of i~ncalculable value.
Most of the worlds business TO-DAY
is done on credit, or confidence in the
ability and willingness to pay, and
were credit abolished business OF all
kinds would of necessity largely stop
And Just so it is with the young farmer
struggling to get on in the Worlo'
Very frequently without capital of hi
own, if credit is denied him he laDors
at a sore disadvantage. He may neec
credit to buy, clear and drain lana;
to build a home; to buy improved II
stock: but without capital n with
out credit these things must be gone
without and a possibly excellent farm
er badly handicapped.
To all of our young men we would
say. then, diligently as you cultivate
your prize acre OF corn, look ever
more carefully to your good name;
fine and famous as your prize pig may
be. strive ever that. the fame of your
good name may spread farther. Your
! crop may fail or your pig may die, and
| still the loss would not be ~irreparable
but once a young mans good name is
. gone something is lost that a whol5
! life's work may never replace.
! Make debts, if you need to in order
to better your business, in order thai
you may become a better farmer; but
when you give your promise, either
verbally or in. writing, make it an iroI
rule to let n&bing on earth keep you

THE POWER OF A

There is no power that is not
brought down by prayer, Prayer links
man with God, as the wire links the
machine with the dynamo. John Wes-
lev spent two hours daily in prayer;
and often more than this. He began
at 4 in the morning. One who knew
him we'll says of him: "He thought
prayer to be more his business than
~arything else, and l have seen him
come from his closet with a serenity
OF face next to shining" Bishop AS
bury said: I propose to rise at
o'clock as often as l can and spenn
two hours in prayer and meditation"
Samuel Rutherford rose at 3 O'CLOCK
in the morning to meet God in prayer.
Robert Murray McCheyne spent from
6 to 8 a.: m. and an hour after tea shut
in. with God.
We are told that John Fletcher
stained the walls of his room with the
breath of his prayers. sometimes ne
would pray all night. John WEIGH. a
wealthy son-in-law of John Knox, and
wonderful preacher, thought the day
i'll spent if he did not spend eight to
ten hours in prayer. His wife would
complain when she found him on the
grcund weeping. He would reply
'eOh, woman, 1 have the souls of 5000
to answer far, and / know not how II
is with many of them!"
1t is said Of the sanity Payson that
he wore the hardwood boards into
groove where his knees pressed SO
often and so long. His ~biographer
says: "His continuing instant in pray
er is the most noticeable fact in his
history and points out the duty OF all
who would rival his eminency." DR..
Adoniram Judson spent several hours
a day in prayer. He impressed an
empire for Christ and laid the founda-
tons of imperishable granite in the
heart of Burma.
Oh, Christians, let us take this to

SOCIAL SERVICE IN THE CHURCH,

Many people do not like hhe word
Social Service; but We have not yet
discovered q better one to define the
awakening of Christian people OF the
material needs of q suffering world.
Whatever you call it it is coming.
Our churches are beginning to realize
how much they have lost by paying no
heed to the social conditions about us
but have depended wholly upon the
preaching if the gospel, which is only
one side of the work of the church.
Christ preached to men, but He healed
their broken bodies as we'll; and He
led the hungry and supplied all their
material needs. Our fathers who
used to worship in houses without
stoves, and listen to ermon an hour
long while the children shivered and
cried, were dangerously near doing
penance TO r their sins. We have
passed out of t hat period and now
realize that it is our duty to make
ourselves comfortable and others as
well; that religion is intended to i'm
prove our physical as we'll as our
spiritual surroundings. Our town
churches are becoming the centers Of
social and civic improvement, and this
blessed doctrine is slowly making its
way into the country churches too. A
very valuable agitation has been car
ried on in the Progressive Farmer il
favor of widening the scope of the
work OF the country churches, includ-
ing the betterment Of farming meth
DDS Of sanitation and of cultivating
flowers. The country preacher of the
future Will be the ab1est man in the
neighborhood. He will have a know.
ledge Of everything that engages the
attention of the people and be able 10
lead them into the more excellent way
of doing things. He will make his
church the center of all these improve
mepts, and thus tie the young people
to it. Not only will the church find
Jov in the support of the Orphanaga
(Which is already the case to a re
markable degree) but it will also be
the mightiest factor in the neighbor-
hood in favor of good schools, good
roads, attractive homes and sweeter
and more wholesome social Life.
Social service has a broader field
among our country churches than it
has anywhere else in the world. for
the country church has no competitor.
When it comes into it's own, it will
dominate the civic as well as the re-
hgtous life, and without partisan pol
it C s To the country church we must
book for the determination of buying
and selling as well as drinking OF
liquor, the smoking of cigarettes and
other social evils. The church is the
friend of man.-Charity and Children.

W. j. BRYAN DECLINES
BIG LECTURE OFFER.
COmmoner Prefers to Help His Broth
er in Race for Governor Rather
Than Earn $15O,OO0.
GFhomas D. Daniel in Spartanburg
Herald)


washington, Marcn z9.-It is only a
few months since William ]. Bryan
was being roundly criticised in some
quarters Tor receiving nigh pay for his
services as chautauqua lecturer. Now,
however, these same critics find it
necessary either TO criticise him foI
turning down a Ver tempting offer,
or to refrain from discussing an ac-
ton of his-and the latter is unthink-
able.
lMr. Bryan, it is announced, has just
declined a lecture contract offered
him under winch he would receive
$150,000 in a few months, beginning
in April. The engagement would have
carried him INTO various states and
away from his own state, Nebraska.
lie declined the offer, it is understood,
because he desired to be free to aid
his brother, Charles w. Bryan, mayor
or Lincoln in his race for governor
during the coming summer. Had the
Gx-secfetary of state signed the con-
tract offered, he would have been alb
sent from the state a good portion Of
the period covered by the campaign.
Financed by Liquor Interests.
But there is more to the situation in
question. Charles w. Bryan is to
make his race for governor of Nebras-
ka on a platform, one of the leading
planks OF which IS state prohibition.
1T is said that w. J. Bryan was largely
Influenced in determining not to sign
the contract in question by the sus,
picion, or the actual conviction, thai
the money involved was being offered
IN large measure by the liquor inter
eEts to keep him out of the prohibition
fight in Nebraska. Whether this is
true or not, the Bryan brothers are
going to fight the fight of prohibition
III Nebraska this year and the $15O,OOC
contract has gone by the board.
Now the professional Bryan critics
II there are journalists whose chic
work for 20 years has been criticism
OF Bryan, are put to the necessity O.
critic sing him for not accepting ths
Gently castigating him for accepting
high pay for his services as a lee
turer.
But that is easy. The tactics of thu
average Bryan critic are simple. Al
he has to, do is to find out what Bryan
has said or done and then critise it
The nature of the speech or deed, anG
whether right Or wrong, makes no dif
ference. If Bryan did it or said it
that of itself makes it wrong in tht
view Of the average professional Bry
an critic. So it will probably be M
trouble or them to find plausible basi.
for censorious remarks about thi.
latest evidence of Mr.. Bryan's devo
ton to principle regardless Of pelf.

he attacks that have been made upon

the attacks that have been made upon
him.
Hitherto the secretary has been
quick to go to the defense of the navy
itself, but has given little attention TO
the charges made against him person
ally. In The World interview Written
by George Creel the secretary takes
up many of the accusations tina nave
gained the widest publicity.
Secretary Daniels statements are
exceptionally timely in view OF the
testimony given Friday before the
house committee by Rear Admiral
Fiske, who, in a way, is at the mead
Of the anti-Daniels propaganda. Inc
admiral again complained that he had
been gagged by the secretary anu
was not allowed to say that two times
two make four. Mr.. Daniels says a
his refusal to permit navy ohcers 70
make addresses and otherwise seek u
influence legislation has been the un-
broken policy of the navy from time
immemorial, and President Roosevelt
in 1902 and President Taft in 1907 re-
inforced the rule by executive ordefs
that established dismissal as a penalty
for violation"
The secretary's interview IN Inc
World today is than an answer
to his critics. 1t is a challenge &c
