And a Niobe In the home.
Naturally, he gave up the party.
But NEXT time

"And may he pretty late-there's

And I've got a very important CO.

That was all---and Sapphire swa'

Talk BY Miss Nettles.

Olar, Sept. 13.-Miss Elizabeth
Nettles, Of Virginia, who is connect
ed with the Christian education
movement in South Carolina, and
who has Columbia as her present
headquarters, gave very interesting
talk at the Olar Baptist church last
Sunday at II o'clock.
She used as her subject "To have
and to hold" but we give assurance
that the talk did not have to do with
nuptial bells or anything pertaining
thereto.
She stressed the Importance of
having Sunday schools we'll graded
with class rooms and appropriate
equipment for proper instruction and
teachers we'll trained and in love
with their work. She handled her
subject with the ease that showed
she knew from experience whereof
she spoke. 1t was we'll attended.

gradually increased up to around
200 and 225, and we see no reason
why this should be an abnormal year.
In fact, we predict larger final en-
rollment.
There were about forty or fifty
parents and patrons present at the
opening exercises, which were not of
the elaborate kind, but just as it was
intended to be-a beginning with a
few words of welcome, hint at what
the plans for the year consisted Of,
the general principle of disciplinary
methods, interspersed with a few re-
marks by way of advice to the teach
ers, the children, and the patrons, as
to the part expected of each in an ef-
fort to attain complete cooperative
spirit among all, in the effort to make
the school of the greatest possible
good.
Along this line Supt. j. w. Chitty,
Rev. G. NJ. Peeler and R. Fair Good
win made short talks.

Depot Burns.

Last Saturday morning about 3:30
Olar was reused from her slumbers,
to behold the heavens aglow in beau
tiful hues-first taking on the SEM
blance of the aurora borealis. 1t was
really beautiful at first, but in fact
more expensive to the S. A. l.. rail-
way than beautiful, for it was the
depot afire that furnished the scenery.
Everything was lost except the
greater part of office paraphernalia,
two cars of cotton (already loaded)
and the contents of one car Of grocer
les. The waiting rooms, ware rooms
and platform being one and the same
building, were all burned in the
same fire. We are convinced that
the railroad sees the moral. With the
platform went about Is bales of cot
ton, we understand, for practically
all of which, if not entirely all bills
of lading had been issued.
We would like to call attention
to one point of the fire fighting, and
that is the fact that every one work
ed just as hard to save the property
of the railroad as though it had been
his own-and in the end saved for
the aforesaid company, in the face
of the flames, something over five
thousand dollars worth of property.
Listen to that, Seaboard officials, and
in the listening, remember when you
go to replace our and your depot.

There is nothing new in what Sena-
tor LaFollette says about "goVernmen.
by influence; but there is 4 great deal
that is true. Theoretically 4 GOVERN
ment OF the people and by the people
seeks the greatest good to the greatest
number. Actually, it gives most Of its
benefits to the few. Why? That's easy.
Take a public service corporation for
instance The railroads furnish good
example They are controlled by few
people; they serve millions. The
amount contributed by each patron Is
comparatively small; but the aggregate
figures stagger the imagination. Un-
der such conditions, reason and COM
mon sense say that the railroads are
entitled to sufficient revenue for eco
nonical and efficient administration,
adequate upkeep and development,
with a fair interest on the investment:
Inadequate returns mean bankruptcy,
and Il slight overcharge means excess
profits. The greater the overcharge the
greater the excess. few dollars too
much on" each Of the many patrons
means many millions in the pockets or
few owners. The interests of the own
er and patron is in proportion to the
stake Of each. The owner has induce
ment to put forth tremendous effort TO
increase his profit. The patron appre-
ciatcs the fact that he is being treated
unjustly, but the amount of his stake
is not sufficient to warrant tLme,. labor,
expense. He does not see how he can
afford to fight. Commissions have been
established 10 moderate justice. The
owner can we'll afford to go before the
commission and at whatever expense
make the best possible showing for his
side. The patron leaves his interest," 70
the commission, for obvious reasons
and as the owner, is able to make the
best possible showing he gets the ae-
cision. Take the case Of the Southern
Bell Telephone company before the
railroad commission recently. The COM
pany had thousands at stake, and the
patrons had only few dollars q year.
The company acted as unIt' lhe pa
irons as individuals. The company was
in full possession Of all the facts ana
the only thing the patrons knew was
that they were being charged too much
already. The decision went TO the
companv. with the result: that its earn
ings, already abnormal, have peeh
largely increased. And: so the thlhs
goes all along the line, Senator La
Toilette is entirely right in all that ne
saws; but since combined wealth ana
knowledge always win, over individual
weakness and Indifference, the great
question is, How is the situation 10 De

whole popila ton: Vi tally affected. one
was-aor the other by the res sulting par
alyss of every business, occupation
and industry of every kind. But on
Friday the railway and transport work.
crs withdrew from the pending combi-
nation and decided not to strike. The
exact reason for tho withdrawal does
not clearly appear in the dispatches;
but the common explanation is that
Lloyd George succeeded with his usual
in working one side against
the other and creating among the rall-
way and transport workers doubts as
to just what advantage, if any, they
could hope to derive. The coal miners,
is claimed by some of the
papers to be so badly .demoraliZed that
it will have to start over again on new
lines, and while work has not yet been
resumed, there seems to be a common
belief that normal conditions are In

is rather with the mine own
ers and operators.
