lesson, but II we are to derive the
greatest benefit from that lesson We
must use our intelligence. and we
must look upon the lesson as a bene-
At rather than an evil.
Most Of US are inclined to be
spendthrifts. We-do not properly ap-
preciate the real, office and function
Of money. We teach ourselves to
look upon money only as means to
crafty our wants, and generally we
allow ourselves To- have the wants
before we have the money.
Nine out OF ten Of us are continu-
ally and everlastingly in debt, and
four out OF FIVE Of the nine are not
nearly so much concerned about pay
ing the debts they owe as they are
about accommodating more debts.
All this is wrong. and the people
who pursue such practices not only
harm others but harm themselves.
They are drones Of the most repre-
hensible kind. and they need to be
reformed not only for the benefit OF
themselves, but for the benefit Of the
communities in which they live.
In the situation in which the coun-
try now finds itself 1t Is incumbent
upon every man who can to help mis-
neighbcr: but II is very necessary and
very important that every man who
is In a position to help his neighbor
should demand the full cooperation
Of that neighbor in helping himself.
This is no time to encourage doless
idleness in people who are able to do.
and people who are able to do; but
unwilling to do, should not be allow
I'd to hinder those who are both able
and willing.
Waste must be stopped forthwith,
and people who have heretofore had
the idea that they had right to do
as they pleased with their money
must be taught that they can do as
they please with their money, provid-
cd they please to do something right
and sensible with it.
The duty or the nour is 10 save, 10
save food. save fuel. save money, save
everything that might otherwise be
wasted,
1t is true that We are politically
the greatest people on earth; but il
is also true that we are confronted
with the greatest task that has ever
confronted any people, and the sue
cessful achievement OF that task il
calling for the expense Of every ounce
Of resource we have-material, ply
sical, moral and intellectual.
Some Of us think we have practic-
ed self-denial: but few Of us really
have.

he will not stand for reelection. the
Columbia State remarks:
Mr.. Num-, we believe, Is a cotton
mill worker and 1t would be we'll If
the workers in mills had more repre-
sentatives in the general assembly.
The reason that he gives for declin-
ing to seek reelection should cause
the people Of the state to think. Poll
ticians are forever jabbering about
the cost Of government and high tax
cs. but here is working man who.
after three years experience, discov-
ers that he cannot afford to come to
the legislature for 5000 year and
mileage. One is not surprised at his
conclusion. How can any working
man in these times. IL he has a fami-
ly and no outside source OF income,
afford to give up his work and serve
the state at compensation that will
scarcely defray his expenses while he
is in Columbia? The government
Of South Carolina will have to become
a government by the well-to-do and
wealthy. unless the people shall be
willing to pay salaries that will en-
able poor men to serve them.

was made with the British admiralty
to effect certain plans for anti-suhma-

a dispatch says that Hindenburg

so as to make more difficult their

story is true and maybe II is not: but

THIEVES ARE ACTIVE.
Homo of F. H. Afford on Court
 Street Visited Twice

House thieves are active about the city, according to reports made at the police station. The residence of F. H. Afford at 25 Court street has been the prey of this class twice within week, but owing to the ab- sence of MT. Afford and his family in the south, the extent of the p1under can not be ascertained. The local detective bureau has commenced work on running down the guilty par ties. The thieves made their en- trance by smashing a window in tho rear, and the discovery was not made until yesterday when a maid in the employ of Mrs. Afford visited the house. People living adjacent to the house report seeing strangers about the premises within the past few days
 A daring daylight robbery was com ' mitted yesterday morning at the home of Louis Romenici of SIP Stan ley street between 10 o'clock and noon hour, and as a result about S75 in cash and a check for s5 is miss- ing. Mrs. Romenici was engaged washing clothes in the kitchen, and the thief made his entry through the front door, where a drawer of a bu. reau in one of the front rooms was rifled.
