in the church and the plain church
member are equals before Christ. It
was the Masters way of telling us
that Notwithstanding the necessity Of
distinctions in place and response
bility, yet his church was a demoe-
racy, where equality of worth, and
equality of opportunity, and equali-
ty Of reward were open to all alike,
whatever their varying Offices, places
and powers.
We are glad he put the two talent
man in. A democracy such as Bap-
tist church, can't live without men OF
his type. All the work is not to be
done by the officials. Those in the
great positions are not the only ones
to feel the burdens and to hear the
calls of the kingdom. The humble
member can double his talent and is
expected to do SO The humber men,
ber stands in the exact personal re-
lation to the Lord as do the great of
the church. Each receives from the
Lord for himself, each accounts to
the Lord for himself.
There are no bosses and priests in
this parable. None were needed, at,
least for this two talent brother. He
was jewel. And we suppose that one
Of the reasons he was given his place
was to teach us that democracy is q
glorious thing when the individual
members are as faithful, as diligent
and as Jealous as are the pastors. But
what dismal failure democracy is
when the plain church member buries
his talent.-Baptist Courier.

Presentnent of Grand Jury.

y
To His Honor Judge Thomas S. Sease,
Presiding Judge.
We, the Grand Jury have passed
on all bills handed US by the Solici-
tor and returned same.
We have, during the year tried to
render such service to the County as
seemed proper, just and right, and
this final return is made, and we de
sire to express in it the hope that
future Grand Juries will render
more efficient and painstaking SER
vice than we have been able to do.
The County, in spite of the bond is
sue, is in debt, the Sheriff has a very
large number of executions on hand
for taxes not yet collected, and which
he is endeavoring to collect, and with
business depression and the after eff
fects of the war to face, it behooves
all who claim to be good citizens to
unite, realizing the Importance of
moulding public sentiment to the ne
.cessity for strict economy in public
affairs, sobriety and earnestness, in
every day affairs, seeking encourage
ment for the meeting of our prob
lens and difficulties with earnest,
hard work. The Sheriff reports to US
that he has had great difficulty in col
lecting past due taxes, and the out
look for another year does not seem
bright. The realization that the Coun-
ty is poor at this time is all the more
reason for uniting and drawing clos
er together, and we urge good men to
help in enforcing the prohibition law,
to practice forbearance in matters
of indebtedness, and unite all along
the line in making the County a
community of healthy, happy and
contented people.
Ten different officers of the Coun-
ty are endeavoring to serve the
County faithfully, and we wish them
Gods speed in their efforts.
We desire to thank the Solicitor
for his cooperation and help during
the entire year, and we are apprecia-
tive of the courtesies extended US by
the Court.
Respectfully,
E B. R. TILLMAN,

and New York, where he has large in
terests. What he saw in Pittsburg
and New York must encourage him,
as well as the South's situation. Coal,
iron and money are nearly related
and when the coal and iron interests
are active the country is nightly apt
to be prosperous.
Some of the big monied men have
dreaded the international money sit
.uation, especially the decline in the
German mark, and conditions in Ger
many, which are reflected in the fl
nancial columns of the newspapers,
but according to Mr.. Councils view
of that situation, "the Germans are
hard at work, and 1 believe those hard
headed people have too much sense
when they get into hard lines not
to get by with it."
"People in the North" Mr.. Council
continued, "think the people in the
South ought to be in fine shape, with
cotton bringing 20 cents pound"
And he expressed the opinion that
the South will soon work itself out Of
debt. Confidence is the one thing that
is needed. Confirming somewhat Mr..
Councils cheerful view of the sit
uation we note that in it's monthly
statement issued Monday the United
States Steel Corporation reports un-
filled orders on its books of Septem-
Der 3Oth last of 4,360,65O tons. This
compares with 4,531,926 on August
S1st last, an increase Of 28,744 tons.

Why the Two Talent Man?

A friend wants to know why the
Master put the two talent man in the
Parable of the Talents. We are not
able to tell him except in small
measure; but the question is worth
thinking about. He was not put in to
bring out the contrast between the
good and the useless church member.
This contrast, and all the lessons con-
cerning it are brought out clearly
and fully in the differences between
the other two actors in the Parable,
the five talent man and the one talent
brother who hid his Lords money.
And, there is no general principle OF
reward that is given in the case of
the two talent worker that is not also
found in what is done to his more
important fellow member, the five
talent man. Any one else but the Mas
ter would doubtless have pictured a
gradation of rewards. But in the
parable, as it came from his lips,
there is no difference whatever made
between the two good men, who in
life had borne such different re-
sponsiblities.
Perhaps this was why the two tai
ent man WIS put in. The distinctions
of place are necessary in every earth
" institution, the church not being
an exception. In every one of them
some man must be given place above
others and who bears the five talent
responsibility. But in the church and
kingdom of Christ these distinctions
are superficial and practically pass
away in the presence Of spiritual
equality, and at last pass completely
away in the presence of the standing
attained. What comes out in the par
able is the truth that the high oficia

Spend Less Than You Make.

Mr.. Charles M. Council, an Amerl-

South's success is to spend less than
we make. Now this reasoning cannot
be improved upon from bankers

lowed Mr.. Councils advice, all would

folks would carry big bank balances.

Reduced Fares for State Fair.
B. R. TILLMAN,
Foreman

The usual rate of a fare and a
half for the round trip to Columbia
on account of the fair next week was
announced Monday morning by w. E.
MCGEE, assistant general passenger
agent of the Southern Railway. He
also made announcements concerning
special trains and the trains whose
time of departure from Columbia will
be purposely delayed on certain af-
ternoons. The Atlantic Coast Line
will also give rates for the fair.
Special trains will be operated
only on Thursday of fair week, Mr..
MCGEE said. He explained that, from
past experience, the special trains
operated on Wednesday were not
patronized to an extent that justified
their operation, and all trains arriv-
ing not later than 10 a. m. will give
visitors ample time to reach the
fair grounds without missing any of
the opening features of the day.
The Rates Reduced.
Special tickets will go on sale
October 24-27 inclusive and for
trains arriving before 1885 noon on
October 2S. Final limit of all tickets
will be October 80.
The Special Trains.
Mr.. McGee announcing the sched-
ules of special trains on Thursday
said: A train will leave Charlotte at
6 a. m. and arrive at Columbia at 10
a. m. Returning the special will leave
Columbia at $50 p. m. and
arrive at Charlotte at 1880 p. m.
A special will leave Spartanburg
at $50 a. m. arrive here at 10 a. m.
The returning special will leave the
union station at Z p. m. and arrive
at Spartanburg at 1880 p. m.
The other special train from the
Piedmont will leave Anderson at 5
a. m. and arrive here at 10 a. m. Re-
turning this train will depart from
Columbia at 7:30 p. m. and arrive at
Anderson at 1890 p. m.
A special from Abbeville will con-
meet with the Anderson4C Columbia
special at Hodges in both directions.
Trains to be Held.
Besides the regular and special
ttrains, the Southern railway will ar
range to hold several of the late af-
ternoon trains on Wednesday and
Thursday as follows: No. 13 for AL
lendale will be held at Columbia un-
til $50 p. M; No. for Augusta will
be held at Columbia until $50 p. m.
Extra cars will be attached to as
many trains as the officials find the
traffic to the fair will justify.--Co,

Salvation Army and the Prohi-
bition Law.

Those who are inclined to be dis
couraged over the apparent failure
of the Prohibition law to remove
drunkenness will be gratifed to read
what may be considered as an official
report on the early fruits of national
prohibition from Commander Booth
of the Salvation Army.
The fact that no other organization
in the country is better qualified to
judge than the Salvation Army lends
added weight to the report which is
published in full in a recent issue of
the War Cry. "Boozer's Day" has
been an established army institution
in New York city for long time.
Year by years, writes Commander
Booth, we have celebrated Thanks
giving Day from six in the morning
collecting the drunks from the park
benches, feeding them and SOLDERING
them up and saving them with huge
and lasting results. But last year they
were not there and Sc we gave the
day to the poorest children of the
city.
This is very significant comment
on the result of prohibition according
to Commander Booth; it also means
different and larger work for The
Army Of the future.
SIT means that in the future the
Army shall have less to do with the
grave, and more to do with the era
die; less binding up of life's broken
plants and more training of life's
life's untrammeled vines; that more
of our energy, our ingenious meth
DDS, will besthrown into the work of
which in the final analy-
sis must be so much more valuable
to the home, the nation and the |
of God than. even the most |
worthy work of cure"
She says also that the Army's So
cial secretaries report that drunken
ness amonng the men frequenting the
Army hotels and Industrial Homes
almost entirely disappeared and that
men who formerly could hardly sup
port themselves now possess savings
accounts.
When asked if prohibition would
stand, the Salvation Army leader re-
Piled:
eyes, the edifice of prohibition has
been well and substantially built, its
labor has not been spasmodic nor its
material cheap, and what it has TAX
en- so many years to raise up would
surely take as many years to pull
down. Therefore, for the future, we
are unafraid. The coming generation,
growing up without alcohol, educated
in the history of its abuses against
hygiene, commerce and morality, will
muster so vast an army against their
fathers greatest foe as to protect
from any and every jeopardy the leg
islation which safeguards their ma
tional life.
"By the Constitutional Amendment
of prohibition measure has been en-
acted that will do more to bring the
Kingdom of God upon earth than any
other single piece of legislation, for
the rum demon is the foundation and
the bolsterer-up of almost all evils.
Therefore history for righteousness
has been made history that will live
for activities have been set in motion
for civic and national bettermeht that
will never stop until all evil is dead"

Wholesale Selling Price Basis
"The American valuation plan pro-
vides that the duty to be paid on i'm
ported goods will be figured, not on the
price paid for the goods, but upon the
Wholesale selling price at which com
parable or competitive goods of do
mestic manufacturers are sold in the
principal markets of the United States,
or in case where no comparable and
competitive goods are made in the
United States, upon the wholesale sell
ing price of the imported article or
other like imported articles. Now the
small merchant usually buys several
months in advance, without any idea of
what prices may be in the future. Con-
sequently, when he buys for import
under this plan he will have no idea
as to what the actual cost of the goods
will be to him. He will not know
whether or not he will have money
enough to pay for the goods or, if he
has, if he will be able to sell them at
price he can get. Under such circum-
stances foreign trade will be impos-
s'ble for tie small merchant.
Menace to Large Merchants

The theory that America cannot
meet foreign competition on the ground
that European exchange is at such

months we have paid in these countries

many instances over 200 per cent high
er costs than those in pre-war days.
