A really good conversationalist al
ways proves an excellent companion.
A somewhat pessimistic and perhaps
rather bored professor of mathemat-
les in a great university said not long
ago that the art of brilliant CONVERSE
ton has been lost. Of cours in this
we cannot agree. There are as many
good takers today as lived on;
earth at one time in all history, and
there is no doubt that never before
have there been so many idle gossip
ers and bores. A good talker is a
delight. The gossiping bore is an un-
pardonable nuisance.
Even good takers may become
bores. We are told that the great
DR.. Samuel Johnson, who was n of
the most gifted conversationalists OF
all time, was frequently obliged to
hold his unwilling auditors by the Ia
pels of their coats in order to be able
to pour into their ears his uninterest-
ing words. Even the great lexicog-
rapher became sometimes a mere idle
gossiper.
If people should make it a rule to
talk only when they have something
to say it is certain that the converse
tional standards of the times would
be considerably improved. Oliver
Goldsmith, one Of DR.. Johnson's IA
nous contemporaries, was n of its
poorest takers. That was a brilliant
literary club in which Johnson, Burke,
Sheridan and other great intellectuals
held membership, and in spite of the
fact that DR.. Johnson, in a singular
mood, once wrote that Goldsmith
"wrote like an angel but talked like
a parrot" it is recorded that every
time Goldsmith opened his mouth he
said something worth while
Good takers are always good think
ers and good listeners. If we would
become good conversationalists let US
learn to think.
Good takers generally make sure
that they have something really in
teresting to say before they speak.
A great need of the age is more
thought and less gossip.-Charleston-
American.

Death of MIR. ]. Q. Cogburn.

Following many months of suffer
ing, Mr. j. @. Cogburn died at his
home three miles above Meeting
Street, just over the Saluda county
line, Friday night. His health began
to fail about three years ago and his
life after that was marked by a
steady physical decline. For the past
six months MI. Cogburn was con-
fined continuously to his room. He
was in his 68th year and his entire
life was spent within a short distance
of where he was born. Several years
ago Mr.. Cogburn united with Stew
ems Creek church and the funeral was
conducted at the church Saturday af-
ternoon by Rev. Brooke. The inter-
ment took place in the Stevens Creek
cemetery.
Mr.. Cogburn is survived by his
wife who before her marriage was
Miss Mamie Cooper, four daughters,
Mrs. Mack johnson, Mrs. Ida Wertz,
Mrs. Claud Bryant and Mrs. Lizzie
Wheeler, and one son, Mr.. Ernest

Freight Rates Affect Business
Conditions.

The freight rate question is uni
versally conceded to be n of the
most important economic problems
confronting the nation at this time.
Present high freight rates affect di-
rectly or indirectly, the prosperity
of every individual and of every bus
mess. The farmers of the nation are
making appeals to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for a reduc-
ton of rs per cent on freight rates
for grain and hay, and this appeal will
be followed by equally insistent de-
mands for other commodity reduc-
tons.
The railroads are conducting a pub
licity campaign to acquaint the pub
lie with their side of the rate ques-
ton, and the labor leaders of the va
rious railroad workers unions are
bitterly opposing any reduction in
wages at the present time. The rail
roads claim that a general reduction
of wages must accompany a reduc-
ton in freight rates, if the railroads
are to remain solvent, and the labor
leaders claim that they r entitled to
the wages now being received.
It is universally conceded that
railroad laborers of all classes OBJ
tain much better wages than any
other laborers in this country. The
fireman on a train receives much bet.
ter wages than other laborers> doing
the same class of work. Sooner OF
later, the railroad wage earners as
well as the railroad officials will be
compelled to accept a cut in wages

Sunday School Rally at Mt.
Vernon.

Sunday School Rally at VT.
Vernon.
Having accepted an invitation sew
eral weeks ago to attend the annual
Sunday school rally at Mt. Vernon
church, Sunday morning we had a
very pleasant drive up the Dixie High
way to the Sheppard place and
thence two miles west to Mt. Vernon.
When we arrived the children were
engaged in carrying out the very ap-
propriate program which was care
fully prepared. The exercises which
consisted of songs, recitations and
choruses were highly creditable both
to the officers and teachers and tc the
bright beautiful children themselves.
AT the conclusion Of the program
by the children, the superintendent,
Mr.. j. J. Mayson, who presided over
the meeting, introduced Mr.. George
S. Hodges Of Greenwood who made a
very inspiring and helpful address on
Sunday school work. He was follow
ed by Miss Grace Killingsworth, one
of the field workers of the teacher
training department, who made an
earnest appeal for more teachers and
better teachers for our Sunday
schools.
Soon after adjournment for the
noon hour all gathered about the
long table to the rear of the new
church where a bountiful feast was
served. So generous is the hospitali-
ty of the Vernon people and so beau
tifully is it bestowed that one never
goes among them without wanting
to go again and again. That has been
the writer's experience, and we ex-
pect to go again and again.
Early in the afternoon the congre-
CATION re-assembled in the church and
after a brief song service addresses
were made by Rev. R. L. Rountree
and J. L. Minis.
The Mt. Vernon flock is not large
in numbers but what it lacks in guam
tity is offset in quality. Rev. Meadows
is pastor of the church and is doing a
good work among his people. Super
intendent J. j. Mayson and his corps
of teachers gather every Sunday
morning in the year to conduct the
Sunday school, which is a live, we'll
organized body. Continued success
to these consecrated men and women
in their work!

gram:

ADAHSToN MINER
HELD FOR INCEST

Following -.early twenty hours OF
vigilant search by officers, Charles
Hutton, aged about 30, miner,
was arrested at a barn at Adams
town, w. Va, on warrant charg-
ing him with criminal assault on
two little girls, one aged IL and
the other 10. Constable Robert
Noon found the man covered up
with hay, armed with fork, and
lying in the loft of the barn. The
girls are now being taken care of
in an institution at Wheeling
which looks after delinquent girls.
The oldest girl will become a
mother in three or four weeks. At
tention was called to the ease
when Hutton sought aid in caring
for the girl, who. he said, was in
a delicate condition.
The Investigation of the case re-
vealed the fact that Hutton, bro
Their of the girls father, was living
in the same house with them. Their
mother is dead Samuel Daribane,
charged with contributing to the
delinquency of the girls, is now in
the Harrison county jan.
Soon after Hutton learned that
he was to be arrested he sent a
note to the Red Cross stating that
he was going to kill himself and
that if anybody came TO look for
him they would find his dead body.
The officers who started in the
search Immediately after the case
was reported to them, began to
think after several hours search
that Hutton probably had carried
out his threat. Constable Noon,
however, was one who did not give
up, and after he had received a
tip that Hotton was hiding in Ad-
amston, he made a thorough search
of buildings in the vicinity of the
mans home and found him in the
barn.
