Craze of Stevenson Lies
On High Mountain TOP

On the summit of Mount Vaea, on
Opolu, Samoan Island, a cemented
monument, in accordance with native
design, has been erected by native la
Dor, over the grave of Robert Louis
Stephenson On the side facing the
east are carved his own words:
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the gave and let me lie,
Glad did | live and gladly die,
And | laid me down with a will
This be the verse you grave for me;
Here he lies, where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter, home from the hill ,
Chiseled on the tomb are a thistle
and hibiscus flower typical of his
countries.

CHINAMAN, TRAVELLER
DESCRIBES STRANGE
SIGHTS seen ABROAD

An old Chinaman on our cargo boat,
who declared he had been to Shang-
hal, told now the foreigners there
feasted Men and women all sat to-
gether at a long table. The table wore
white clothes and was covered with
fine bowls and foreign chopsticks. A
man would not sit by his own wife
but chose to sit by the wife of some
other man.
The men all drank wine out of for
eign wine cups, and before they drank,
they all stood up and held their cups
out to the women. Some of the wo-
men and small wine cups and drank
with the men Some of the men
smoked tobacco that was rolled into
long tubes, and others had their to-
oacco in rolls of white paper.
His cousin was working at the inn,
and he was invited into the cookhouse,
where they were washing the bowls
and chopsticks. When the wine cups
were brought in, he tasted some of
the wine that was left in the bottom
of the cups. Soon after tasting the
wine he forgot all about where he was
and tried to go out on the street alone
He could not tell whether his feet
were trying to climb up his body. or
whether his head was trying to bite
his feet.
When the feast was eaten, the men
and women went into. another room
where some foreign men were making
| noise on all sorts of foreign frames
When the men made the noise all the
| people jumped up and ran about the
| floor. When the noise stopped they
| always stopped, @too, and then they
would stand still and hit their hands
together. Then the women would
grab the arms of the men and they
would walk around the room, talking
and laughing, until the noise begar
again.
Forgot Clothing.
Some of the women had forgotten
part of their clothing, but-so hi!
cousin told him-they did it on pur
pose to please the men. When tn,
noise was not going on some of tn,
men were not running about the floo
with the women, they would go int,
another room and drink wine at
long, high table The wine they dranl
there did not taste SO good to him a
the wine they had at the feast. TIL,
men were always in a hurry to drinl
when they were at that high table
for they would pick up a glass, opel
their mouths and try to throw tn
wine down their threats.
When everybody was tired of run
ming about the floor each man pickle,
out his own wife and they went ava
in foreign carts. Some of the me-
who had no wives kept drinking tn
wine and burning the tobacco tube
until it was almost time for the cit
gates to open. Then they went Of
down the road, holding to one al
others arms and all trying to sing
! foreign song.

Chocolate was popular among thu
women of Mexico in 164S. The frs
chocolate was sold in England in 165'

PERSONAL WORKERS
DO NOTABLE SERVICE
IN REVIVAL MEETING

Some of the features of the work at
the tabernacle are almost hidden from
view of the audience. but when they
are noticed, they stand out in relief.
The accomplishments of the person
al, who silently ana easily, talk to
the members of the audience about
coming forward and giving their heart
to Jesus Christ, are almost always
unnoticed. They do their asking for
trail hitters" without fuss, they en-
courage those that are on the verge of
a decision, but need just little more
courage to come forward, and they
work earnestly at the real heart of the
campaign.
But when their work is noticed,
they stand out, clearly marked from
the audience by the number of times
they have come down the aisles with
another person. Sometimes even the
number of persons that can be seen
to leave section to come forward is
noticed. and some definite personal
worker can be seen to have accom-
plished the result

SITUATION IN EUROPE
GRAVE SAY INVESTIGATES

Washington, Oct, "a deeper
realization Of the grave situation in
Europe and the urgent necessity O.
something being done quickly to rem
edy conditions" was brought back to
Washington today by members of the
congressional delegation to the inter
parliamentary union meetings in
Vienna.
Senators and repl esenatives in the
party who visited Germany, France
Belgium and other European coun-
tries, as we'll as Austria, declared they
found actual danger of European CIV
ilization going smash.
All the central European powers,
they said, appear to be plunging head
long to financial and economic col
lapse, and when the crash comes the
civilization of that part of the world
may be carried down with it. Civil
ization, some Of the American dele
gates said, is well-nigh gone in Aus
tria now.

market is falling in value so fast that

while their money will buy something,
rather than keep it a week when it
will buy only half as much or per-
haps nothing. Shoes and clothing will
keep, while money drops.
This. tendency to spend money be-
fore its value drops further makes
for feverish activity. There is no
incentive to save. Farmers who sell

COTTON ASSOCIATION MAKES
ADVANCES; HAS SOLD
NO COTTON

Mr.. D. B. Dargan, of Darlington,
field agent for the S. C. Cotton Grow
ers' Association, was in Chesterfield
this week in the interest of that or
ganization.
In an interview with The Adver-
tiser Mr.. Dargan stated that the
| books are still open for the receipt
of new members, but he could not give
a guarantee as to how long they
would remain open.
When asked about the business of
the Association he said they are re-
| ceiving an average of one hundred
car loads of cotton day from mem
bers, that none of this cotton has yet
been sold, but that the owners had re-
| ceived an advance of IL cents per
pound on all short cotton and IS
cents per pound on all staple cotton.
"The present decline in the price
of cotton" he said, ''is without reas-
on so far as the supply and demand
are concerned. The crop is short, the
demand is good, and the price is
sure to go back up. Whether the
coming advance will do the grower
any good or not depends on whether
or not he has sold his cotton when it
comes. The Association offers the
only sure, safe and efficient method
of holding cotton for the proper price
and at the same time receiving an ad-
vance of about half it's value.
"Over $1,500,O00 has already been
paid out to farmers on advances.
ITO give an idea of how the cot
ton is pouring in it may be stated
that on last Thursday there were over
two hundred carloads of cotton con-
signed to the Association on the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad alone for
the concentration warehouses at CO.
lumbia. This of course did not in
clude cotton consigned to the asso-
cations concentration warehouses at
Spartanburg and Greenville on that
ioiiiOou, HoI ulI IL jICluue any OF
the cotton consigned to any of the
three concentration points by the
other railroads of the State. 1t did
not include any of the cotton receiv-
ed at the Associations local ware
houses over the State.
"Much old cotton is being turned
over to the association. 1t is esti-
mated that almost half of the cotton
turned over to the association to date
is old cotton. Hundreds of members
have delivered it to the association
tand hundreds more have signified
their intention of doing So"
Farmers can still join the associ-
alton even if they have sold part
of this seasons crop. 1t will be
| necessary only to sign up Cor what
| they have left.

members are referred to w. j. Tiller,
