OLD time REVIVAL
FOR COLORED PEOPLE
A Religious Campaign in Kingstree
To Be Conducted By Rev. Rich
ard Carroll Of COlumbia

Mr.. Editor
Some time early in the spring per
haps, beginning about, April, 10th, II
it is the best time for all concerned,
I want to begin religious campaign
among the colored people OF kings
tree similar to one held in Rome,
Georgia, two years ago. | want the
white citizens of kingstree TO 90
what they did for me in Rome where
I am asked to return in June for an.
other meeting. The white people OF
Rome furnished big tent, seats and
electric lights, we did not ask them
for much money, the colored people
gladly and willingly paid all expens-
es. There were seats for 1,6OO peo-
ole. The religious campaign was
opened on a hill near cotton mill,
the white people attended the meet
ing every night, hundreds sat on the
green grass and listened to the ser
vice. A white man who was an Off
Ger in the white Methodist church
there did more for me than any 9th
er individual, Mr.. Stewart, who is
the leading spirit now that wants
another meeting Of the same nature
in Rome.
| want to ask the following farors
of the white citizens of kingstree:
First, want their moral support;
second, want to have the warehouse
seated or have the meeting at the
fair ground; third, l want the city
of Kingstree to furnish eiectrlc
lights, just as was done at Rome and
other places. | will put one OF the
ablest colored preachers Of the coun-
try In charge Of the meeting; sspe-
cial seats will be provided for white
people, as was done at other points.
At the close Of the meeting the white
and colored people of Kingstree Will
be benefited and be as separated So
cially as they are now. The white
people of the South will have to save
the Negroes in order to save them
selves. The same education and gos-
Del that makes the white people
wiser and better citizens will have
the same effect on the colored peo-
ple. They are with you, they are next
door to you. The gospel Of Jesus
Christ is your best defense, your
guardian, your protection. l want
the white people to cooperate, |
want you to know what we are in
Kingstree for; we believe in that
gospel that makes men better. wiser
to walk in the newness of life. bet
ter citizens, more industrious.
am Baptist, but | want the CO.
operation of all citizens. white OF
black, in the great religious cam
paign. Our first object will be to get
men converted, new life, new de-
termination, and new destiny. Let
us not be afraid of each other, let us
get together and make "the desert
blossom as the rose" and make
Kingstree safe place to live in for
white and black.
| shall ask Rev w. L. McFarlan
to be chairman of the steering COM
mittee. / believe that DR.. E. A. Nc
Dowell and other white Christians
will cooperate.

fvc hounds OF seed per acre, and If
you plant broadcast you will need
abou. seven or eight pounds per
acre. Rape can be planted until the
latter part of Marcl,-the sooner the
better. Remember. that the secret in
growing good rape is to have a vel!
prepared seed bed and have the land
broadcasted heavily with stable ma
nure.
The cast Of seeding is very cheap
as the seed only cost from IS to 20
cents per pound. Plant now; it will
pay.

Is the State Highway Commission

As the State Highway Commission
has available three quarter of a
million dollars Of federal funds to
expend on bridge projects, it antici-
pates that there will be revival of
interest in the erection of bridge
over the Santee river The counties
served by the bridge, however, will
have TO cover the federal money dol
lar for dollar The commission says
that the money spent on approved
bridge projects will not decrease any
county'S allotment of federal funds
for approved good roads projects, as
the highway and bridge funds are
entirely separate.

PROFANITY
By Dr.. Frank Crane

LII. SEdHe
The trouble with profanity is NOT
so much that it is wicked, but that
it is lust plain dirty.
It is not so much that you shock
religious people, as that you disgust
decent people, that we object to it.
Swcarers are behind the times.
They arc hold overs from former
century. A hundred years ago OF so
swearing was habit indulged in by
all classes HostlelS swore in the sta
bic, gentlemen swore in the club,
boys swore in the street, and ladies
swoEr in the parlor. Husband and
wife cursed each other across the
breakfast table
In the stories Of Smollet. for in
stance, and in plays of the time Of
Ben Jonson, you will find choice
oaths ripped out by the incest peo-
pic when they lose their temper.
The world has grown more decent
since then. A gentleman that would
curse in the presence of ladies would
be hustled away, and never invited
again.
Americans, in former times, were
so profane that the porters of the
railway stations, in France OF
Egypt, on seeing an American ira
Weller alight from train, would
shout, Right this way, Mr.. God
DAM
Nowadays anybody who swears is
set down at once as being coarse and
vulgar.
The young man who wants to sue
ceed needs to take advantage OF
everything that may help him on.
And swearing will be a black mark
against him in any job he may have.
And if he wants to associate. with
the right sort of girls he must keep
his talk clean.
Nobody wants swearer in the
office, nor in the workshop, nor on
the train, nor in the hotel. The only
place swearing fits is the saloon.
Swearing means you don't know
how to talk. Your vocabulary is linn
tied. 1t is the sign of ignorance.
Swearing means weakness. You
will notice that forceful men, whose
words carry weight, use simple, plain
words.
When you swear it shows your
impotence. 1t is the petty refuge of
the helpless. If YOU can help thing,
help it; if not, keep still; anyway,
don't swear.
Swearing has bad kin. 1t goes
with ignorance, brutality, cruelty,
drunkenness, RIGHTEOUSNESS, vicious
ness and anger. And you can tell
habit by the company it keeps.
Swearing that is the sudden, inn
pulsive exclamation is not so bad
compared with swearing that has be-
come a vile habit. And when a man
gets the habit of sprinkling oaths
through his speech constantly he
ought to be tied out in the barn with
the pigs.
To abstain from swearing does not
mean you are sissy. 1t simply
means you're decent.
To show you are manly, you don't
have to have a dirty face, nor black
finger nails, nor greasy clothes, nor
tousled hair. You can be manly
though clean. And you are not show
ing any manliness by filthy talk.
Even if you want to hurt anybody's
feelings, OF insult any one the worst
way, use plain English: it hurts
much worse than curses.
Altogether, swearing is useless,
unclean and offensive habit.
Quit it!

LACK OF PERSONAL TOUCH

The prevalence Of strikes which
cause so much trouble in this day is
attributed by some to the lack of
personal touch between those opera
ting plants and the:: employees. In
the olden time the employers and
employees mingled, and there was
little disposition upon the part Of
either to ring about dissatisfaction.
There were, of course, frictions at
times, but general walkouts were
not generally in evidence.
The world is conducted upon diff
ferent lines at present. A plant IN
Montana may be conducted by
firm. or company the main office of
which is in New York.
In the good old ante bellum days
in Alexandria strikes were exceed
ing rare. At that time employers
and employees often worked side by
side. We can recall a shipyau
where forty or fifty men were en-
ployed. The lessees of the plant lab
ored with the MEN they employed.
Another plant which for many years
conducted prosperous business IN
our city was seldom troubled with
strikes, for the reason, probably,
that the owners generally worked
and mingled with their men.
The Gazette during its career OF
century and half has had but few
labor troubles to deal with. The
fact~that its owners during a hun
dred years worked with their en-
ployees may be assigned as the rea-
son. We recall but two general
strikes on this paper during all that
period.
A writer in LesEe's in this con-
nection says:
s'In a conversation which had
recently with Joseph Hartman, he
,said he believed that the lack OF
perscanl touch accounted for much
Of the discomfort in our present in
tustrial life. ri the old days, Mr..
Hartman said, the toilers were not
working for an impersonal corpora
ton, they were working for the old
man. Thee was family attach
ment that endeared the employer
and the employee to one another.
Then they would not think of labor
wars. But now with cold imper-
sonal organization, they had no
compunctions in calling a strike.

common, and in the majority
Of cases the little ones are de-
clared to have been in fault by rum
ming thoughtless1y in front Of on
coming cars. In most cases it re-
quires but a few lines to tell the sad
story.
Eight-year-old Yinson Mclean,
with a hundred million dollars to his
credit, was the latest victim Of an
automobile. He was struck Sunday
near his home in Washington and
his death followed.
The souls of vast multitudes,I VIZ.
tually all who read newspapers, go
out in sympathy for the parents and
other relatives of the ill-starred
ycungster. Notwithstanding his many
attendants, all supposed to be ex-
ercising the closest surveillance over
him, he was suddenly called to pass
into the other world on road which
many other Youngsters with no fort
unes or family names have been
forced tc take.
From the moment of Wilson'S birth
the baby was surrounded with the
richest luxuries money could pur-
chase. 4
At Bar Harbor, in 1911, kidnap-
ers, with an eye for fat ransom,
made an attempt ito obtain posses
sion of the child, but did not succeed.
This incident caused his parents to
hire a bodyguard of detectives tt
protect the child. from future like
Adventures. Whenever he went for
slrive detectives sat ON the box OF the
carriage Or in the automobile, and
other detectives followed the equi-
page on bicycles. When he walked
with his nurses detectives were al
WAYS in trail. He travelled more In
the manner of prince than the son
| of an American.
The 'hundred- million-dollar baby"
had five nurses at one time, each OF
different nationality.
One of the trappings with which
Vinson was surrounded was a S4O,.
900 gold crib, a gift to him from
King Leopold of Belgium. At
Christmas in 1913 his parents gave
part for him that cost nearly
$4,000.
AS contemporary says, the
pathos of this boys life was, after
all, greather than the pathcs of his
! death He was no ia Prince Fortu-
nate, but a Prince Unfortunate. He
was cursed by immense wealth from
his birth. He was not born free
and equal like poor boys of moder-
ate means. He was the slave Of his
prospective millions. In such an en-
vironment, had he lived, into what
would his life have developed? Per-
haps fate was kind to him in saving
him from the effects of mistaken
system of education. Money Is not
always blessing. The millionaire
NAV be as miserable as the money
less, as poor as the pauper. The
McLearls are rot the only people
who have made serious mistakes IN
child training. In poirs OF fact
there are few parents who have not,
few who understand the most i'm
portant business in the world"
