life to count. Have you lost anything?
Have you lost that earnestness? Have
you lost tliat sincerity? Have you lost
the ambition to attain to that ideal
that God has for you? Have you lost
anything? You remember how after
Samson had played the fool they put
out his eyes, put him down in the pris-
on house TO grind; and you know that
is typical Of so many Of us. IL some
of us were to stop for a moment and
look back into the days when we first
surrendered our lives TO Jesus Christ
we should shudder to find how far we
have Travelled from Him. Some of US
have lost him entirely out of our lives
but we still go to church and we still
teach q Sunday school class and we
are still an official member Of the
church, but it is only grinding. There
is no spirit there"
The minister pictured four phases
of the life Of Samson and likened each
to some phase in the life and work Of
the average church member, his illus ,
trations being tersely given. He
stressed the point that Samson, in all
his strength could not control himself.
Men today are enabled to control
most everything, but no man can con-
troll himself. Samson was shorn Of his
strength and 'cade q. slave because he
could not withstand the wiles OF
woman You need not be q thief, a
drunkard, q murderer, q gambler. Sin
is sin in the sight OF God, and there
are TO several degrees Of sin. The
Seryance of the weakest link in
the chain makes it's strong links use
less. The devil is after piercing the
weakest spot in your armor. He
knows what temptations you can with
stand and these are not pressed
against you. In some instances It Is
lack of faith-doubt, and lie gleefully
handles his victim TO increase this
doubt. While the message was more
specifically applied to church men,
be-s, it was equally applicable to all
and the lesson was forcefully pre-
scented in simple words which all could
understand.
The only message he had, said the
preacher, was to bring Gods word to
the men and women OF Rock Hill and
to speak TO them in such a way that
they might be brought into closer re-
| lationship with the Master. Have you
| lost Jesus, he asked. Mary the mother
of Jesus lost Him, and she did not
know she had lost Him. The minister
feared there are pany who have lost
| him ana 90 Eol rediiZe lnlS ldCt' fle
! pictured God, not as a monster, but as
| n great loving father, and His great
| heart yeaIns over us because He
would save us from the things that
mar and spoil us and would help us
| that we might be the finest men and
women that he can make us. He de-
clared that the one who is not striving
| to make his or her life one of the
| greatest possible usefulness is not
treating himself right, his neighbors
right, nor his God right.-Rock Hill

no further light could be thrown on
the cause of il by hearing him.
Flying Officer Miller of Howden test
flied that Lieutenant Wann told him
that everything was going well dur
ing the flight. but that his mind was a
blank as far as the accident was con-
cerEed. The coroner. in a statement
to the jury referred to the severe
tests OF the airship during the con-
struction and of the various defects
discovered and remedied. He said
that on July II, after leaving the air
ship works for Howden, there was
some buckling of the girders at the
port side, caused by the port propeller
but that this did not affect the safety
of the. ship. 1t was learned through
the public verdict that the bodies OF
six of the men killed in the disaster
have not yet been recovered.

south has on hand Of previous crops,
say 5000 600 bales and of the present
crop say 100000 bales, making about
5000, 900 bales in all. 1t is given up
in all quarters, that the present stock
of the world is far inadequate for the
next years rcquirSments, and it is
generally recognized that prices may
easily go .out of sight" This is the
situation that causes fear and tremb-
ling. If the southern cotton crop can
be moved ut 500 a bale, the transac-
ton can be accomplished without cs-
pecially serious consequences TO the
plans of those in control. But II
it should so happen it would take 5000
a bale to move this cotton, it would
mean that a disproportional share of
the country's money would have to
come to the south and potentially at
least the domination of American fl
nance would be transferred to this
section. OF course it is understood
that no matter how much money
might come to the south the ma
chincry in the hands of the dominant
powers of the northeast is adequate to
eventually bring about re-adjust-
ment; but the idea Of having to do
this at this time is not a pleasant one
for these people to contemplate at this
time, and Of course they are bringing
to bear all their resources to hold the
price of cotton down as low as possible

According to a Washington dis
patch the administration has dctcrmin-
ed on policy of asking for the resg-
nation of Democrats who have had
eight years of service. During the
last year of the Wilson administration
thousands of Democrats whose terms
were about to expire were rc-appoint-
ed. This policy was pursued in al!
the different departments. In the
diplomatic service holders of important
posts were transferred under new
appointments to other posts just as
important In most cases where there
were genuine vacancies, on where va
canciCS would occur before the new
administration could be gotten under
way the senate proceeded with Coniir-
nation. In Il good many thousand
cases however. The senate declined to
act, leaving the new administration TO
fill the vacancies according to its own
notion. For some months it was un
dcrstood that there would bc no inter
ference with Wilson appointcc# who
had been duly, confirmed. Now it is
given out that the administration Will
no longer allow itself to be bound in
the cases Of Wilson appointccs wh"
have had full eight years of service;
but wherever it seems desirable to put
Republicans on Republican appointccs
in such places the Democratic incum-
bcnts will be asked 10 get out.

Here are the congratulations OF
The Yorkviile Enquirer to Jim GriSt
and Susie Hartncss who on last We'd
ncsday evening entered into partner
ship under the name and style of Mr.
and Mrs. Jas. ID. GriSt. These con-
gratulations are offered not only In
the name of Jim's fellow members of
the staff; but also in the name of his
hundreds of friends and well-wiShcrs.
And all are reminded that if Jim has
done anything to merit their admira-
tion and good will, that they owe about
as much TO Susie as they do to jim
maybe morc-certainly no less. Susie
has been and is Jim'S inspiration. Or
course there are many who know jim
who don't know Susie, and these may
as we'll be frankly let into the secret
that without Susie. Jim would not
amount to much, because Susie is so
sweet and bright and pure and gentle.
She has too much good hard sense to
love a man unless there is in him
something worth while, and if the man
she loves fails to make good it Will be
because there is nothing TO him. SO
here are the best wishes of The York
Vile Enquirer staff to this young
coupe. May Gods richest blessings
attend them.

Charged With Aggravated Assault.

Boyce Bullock was committed to jail
Wednesday, charged with assault and
battery of high and aggravated nature.
The charge grew out Of a drunken
brawl at Smyrna on Sunday, Septem-
Der "a. Some Hambrights and Bullocks
went to Bullock's spring, about a mile
from Smyrna. They were friendly
with each other and also with bottle
Of liquor that they had along. Pres
emily, as the result of the liquor, no
doubt, fight developed and during the
fight Boyce Bullock struck Wade Ham
bright over the eye with bottle.
Hambright was knocked down into a
ditch. When DR.. Miller arrived on the
scene the injured man was all but dead.
There was no pulse and the doctor
really thought he would die. He said
so. Magistrate Smith came along later.
Hambright had been moved, but in the
place where he lay there was a pool OF
blood. why" says Magistrate Smith,
"a beef would hardly have bled so
much" But Bullock was gone. Later
Constable Mcknight arrested him at

Linwood College Property.


Gastonia Gazette: At n conference
Wednesday afternoon between Presi-
dent A. r. Lindsay, of Linwood Col
lege. and the holders of $4,000 in
bonds against the property, it was an
nounced by Mr.. Lindsay that the COL
lege property had been sold to the
negro Baptist Of North Carolina on the
condition of the payment Of $4,000 IN
cash, $25, 900 in March, 1922, and $25,-
600 in March 1923. Mr.. Lindsay added
that not until the $4,000 in bonds was
paid off would the property be trans
ferred He added, Furthermore, that
on Wednesday he had received word
from the negro authorities that they
We're expecting to meet the SI5,O0o
cash payment within a short time. II
is understood that out of this initial
payment the $4,000 in bonds will be
retired. 1t developed at the confer
Cuce that the issuing of a restraining
order by the bondhOlders enjoining Mr..
Lindsay from selling the property had
piqucd him somewhat. 1t was the
opinion Of those present, from Mr..
LindSay's remarks, that he thought
the Gastonia citizens were seeking to
prevent the sale of his property. IL
was clearly shown Mr.. Lindsay, dur
ing The course of the meeting that the
only purpose of the injunction was to
guarantee the bondhOders against any
possible loss through the sale Of the
without retiring the bonds.
Upon tho statement of Mr.. Lindsay
that the first monies from the sale OF
the property would be applied TO the
bonds. the air was cleared and the
satisfied. Judging from
what was said and done at the meet
ing, LinwoOd College is sold to the
negroes. as soon as they meet the ini-
tial payment Of $4,000. The meeting
accepted Mr.. Lindsay's statement to
this effect.

stance, and we might greatly extend the do
mestic uses Of it, especially its use as a food.
For the Bureau of Fisheries announces that
there are dozen or more seaweeds in the
waters of the Pacific coast which contain
Agar-agar. Four of these have been studied
in detail and are pronounced as good as or
better than seaweed used for the same
purpose in the Orient. OF course, cost of
production is a factor to be considered, but
there is no reason to believe that we could
lot produce the substance more cheaply than
we can import it. The methods of prepar-
ing agar-agar from seaweeds are known in
detail to the Bureau of Fisheries, and can
be obtained by any one interested. They do
not involve an expensive plant or equipment.
Rakes, kettles and wooden trays seem to be
about the only things necessary: The prod
uct must be frozen, and where temperatures
do not go low enough to do this out-of-doors
some form of artificial refrigeration would
have to be employed.
A Valuable Weed
This is only one of several uses to which
seaweeds may be put. There is already in
this country small industry in the prepare
ton of gelatine from the seaweed commonly
known as Irish moss. This gelatine is widely
used in food and has much more gelatinizing
power than the animal gelatlne. The Irish
moss gelatine, or cara geenin, as 1t is called
in commerce, has many other uses, and it's
manufacture might be extended. 1t Is used
in making water paints, shoe polishes, and
as sizing for paper, cloth and thread. 1t is
used in shaving and other soaps because of
the fine variety of lather it produces. 1t is
/ as clarifying agent in making oil and
beer. Bandoline, a perfumed mucilage,
made from Irish moss, is used to make I'M
ruly hair and mustaches behave. The sub
stance also has medical value.
The chief source of supply for Irish moss
is the region around Scituate, Mass, where
about thirty men were recently engaged in
collecting it. There are half dozen other
places in Massachusetts, in New Hampshire
and in New York where the moss Is collected
and prepared for market. Doubtless there
are many other places where 1t might be OBJ
tanned. Its preparation is very simple. 1t
is merely washed in sea water and dried on
the beach until bleached. It Is then packed
in barrels and sold. 1t brought about 10
cents pound in 1920. The Bureau of Fish
cries can supply further details of methods
and localities to any one interested.
