1 think not of tomorrow,

But st?ll, with childlike spirit,
For present mercies ask,
With each returning morning
I cast old things away;
Life's tourney lies before me;
My prayer is for today.
. It ls a dull day in which nobody de
clares war.
Men who lose election bets never

Some ot the candidates have started
their run again, or yet, rather.
Being given the freedom of the sea

It seems that some politicians Just

Strictly speaking, dragging religion

DHNTKOY THF ?TIGER."
Suppose that during laHt night a
wlM tiger should huvo come up out
Of the Seneca river, and have attack
ed and carried off a little boy living
on thc outskirts u." Anderson. Tin; grief
of the parents would be pitiful, and
there would hardly he a man left in
the city till this beast had been hunt
ed down and killed. Suppose that in
?pite of their efforts, the same tiger
should come buck tonight and terri
bly maim one of the bright fair-haired
little girls that had been playing
with her companions on the lawn.
Tomorow morning the cfrortH of the
citizens of Anderson, und doubtless
of the entire community, would all
oe directed towards finding and kill
ing ibis wild animal that hud brought
sorrow and grief to two homes. The
mental picture of the mangled corpse
of the boy and girl would he enough to
drive to desperation those who con
templated lt.
Men of And?rson: A much worse
deadly enemy to the life and happi
ness of your boy and girl hus been
committing depredations in your city.
The victims have been and are to be,
not one or two boya and girls, but
scores of us bright cud pretty little
boys and girls as any today tripping
lo school, or playing round the fire
side. This is not a beast from the jun
gle but one in human guise who lur
es your boy to a dark room up-stalrs.
perlufps, und there fills him with stuff
that will not only kill aa surely as
does the wild beast, but will destroy
as well his immortal soul. The call
goes out to come to his rescue, and
Bave him from his awful fate. Are
you men to heed not the call? Will you
sit by and Bee the "hunt" go on and
have no part in it? Do you fancy that
your boy is .safe and that it is only a
few who are going to be caught and
lured to their ruin, and that somehow
your son will escape?
This matter of putting a stop to the
sale of liquor illegally in thc city of
Anderson ls no child's play, and it is
a task in which every citizen who has
the welfare of the city and ot his
children at heart should engage. There
should be no persecution of thosu en
gaged in this Illegal traffic, but lt
should be stopped by peaceful means
if possible, but by the strong arm of
the law if necessary.
LA FOLLETTE'8 BREAK-DOWN
The report from Wisconsin to the
effect that Senator Robert M. LaFol
lette has again broken down in health
recalls the fact that a similar occur
rence took place in Philadelphia a
year or two ago. and the Philadelphia
incident took place while Mr. La Fol
lette was engaged in making a speech,
as was again the case In Wisconsin
a few days ago The Senator's excite
ment Is said to have got the better of
him. and he Jumped into the audience
after he had been speaking about
about eight minutes. His secretary
took matters in hand and prevented
tho speaker from attempting to go on,
and his physician prescribed a period
of rest from political activities.
Mr. La Fol lett o'? physical health has
never been good-at least not In re
cent yesrs. He ls a vegetarian, but
this ls probably not connected with his
physical weakness. His powers of en
durance are quite limited, notwith
standing the fact that some of his
speeches in the Senate have been such
as to give the impression that he was
usually well prepared to stand
suca a strain.
It is a great pity that the Wiscon
sin statesman is so handicapped. His
ls admittedly one ot the leading minds
of the country. No doubt he was un
wisely taxed himself, as many zealous
reformers do. His views on certain
subjects of political importance were
a tone time regarded as widely radi
cal, but tho gulf between the public
sentiment of the nation and the radi
cal views of Senator LaFollotte has
steadily shrunk, not by any conces
sions on the part of the Senator, but
oy reason of the public's better un
derstanding of the subjects. This bet
ter understanding has resulted In a
nearer approach of the common
thought ot the country ?o the outposts
held hy LaFollette for years. His in
fluence has given Wisconsin a model
government In the real sense of the
word-lt ls taken asa model by other
States, and to some extent by the fed
eral government.
It ta to ht* tinrwMl that a parti tri nf
rest and recreation will fully restore
Mr. LaFollette to health. He is one
ot the few great men who are sincere
friends to the whole people as against
the -privlllged few.
This ls a time that affords every
body a splendid opportunity to find
out jost bow independent they are
from everybody else.
Standard oil doesn't seem to be a
blt more afraid or the government ot
Great Britain than of that of the
United States. /

There may be some men who are
glad to set a chance to go to war, but
there are precious few who get down
on their knees after they are there
to thank the great Allah for letting
them come.
A S ri. KM? 11? .HOVE.
Tho ?lty officials of Anderson have
launched a determined move against
the blind tigers of that city. Detect
ives were secured from Atlanta and
a number of cases against alleged ti
gers were made out. In some of thc
cases convictions have been secur
ed.
Anderson is to be congratulated
upon this move on the part of her
city officials. While it may never be
possible to wholly stamp out the illic
it sale of whiskey, just as it is not
possible to stamp out murder, it ls
possible to reduce it to a minimum
and that should be the ulm of the of
ficials of every city. There Is no ex
cuse for the open sale of whiskey by
tigers In any city or community. We
do not even except Charleston. If the
proper effort was made the blind ti
gers could be stamped out of Charles
ton just as them have been stamped
out of Greenville.
It ls gratifying to note that the
good people of Anderson are standing
squarely behind the city officials in
their effort to rid the city of the
whiskey shops. This ought to en
courage and help the officials. An
derson people will find their city a
much cleaner place In which to live
with the tiger eliminated; they will
find a great decrease in crime and a
more wholesome atmosphere.
In Gaffney, too, an effort is be
ing made to stamp out the illicit sale
of whiskey and we trust that it will
meet with great success. The people
of the Cherokee capital should uphold
their officials. We commend Mayor
Littlejohn and the chief of police of
Gaffney for their efforts and assure
them of the sympathy of the good
people everywhere In their efforta for
a clean city.
The crusade against blind tigers
should spread all ovei the State. The
sale of whiskey should be stopped In
South Carolina. Whiskey and hard
times do not go together.-The Spar
tanburg Journal.
THE BELTON FAIR
Theie are fairs and fairs. Some are
held for the benefit of "horse races"
some for the benefit of the fair asso
ciation->some for the benefit of fake
sf do-shows and gambling schemes
where you toss rings or put your
money on the "lucky turn of the
wheel." and unco and a while you run
across one where the social and edu
cational features reign supreme! Wu
have often asked: "Did you ever at
tend the fair at Belton, S. C.? It ls
great.'' So we determined to be on
hand the 21st day of October. 1914. In
the morning at 7 o'clock, all was quiet
in the streets and square at Belton.
By eight -o'clock somo few farmers
were to be seen driving in with their
buggies or wagons. Somo with a pig
In a crate; others with chickens in a
coop; many with some farm crop, as
wheat, oats, corn, coton stalks, turn
ips,, potatoes and so forth and so on.
By nine things were lively-men, wo
men and children poured in from ev
ery direction. By ten o'clock Ave thou
sand people were present 100 horses,
mules and colts for the show ring, 50
head of Jersey cattle, 21 exhibits ot
hogs, a house full of farm, products
as fine as mother earth knows ho to
growL poultry and pets of a*ll kinds
and all good-an unoccupied house
with four rooms filed with such
needlework, flowers, cakes and canned
goods as would be a cr it to any
State fair. The Judges were busy try
ing on the blue and red ribbons. The
cheerful thousands surged from one
place of exhibit to another. No fees
for admission. The progressive people
of Belton have made up a purse of
over $800.00 with which to pay the
premiums. Busy and happy was the
day. By four o'clock some began to
leave for their distant hornea By six
o'clock everything was quiet and the
great crowd and straw were gone.
"Like the Arabs, they have quietly
stolen away." My! But lt was Indeed,
a County Fair, the ?rreateat WA hav*
ever seen. We did not se? a single
faker; not vvon one of the agricultur
al paper junk dealers that you so
commonly see plying their trade. We
have always known Anderson county
was great but we were .J*ot prepared
to see so great a fair getfen together
and all for one day.-The Southern
Cultivator,
Turkey seems to think that she act
ed a little too hasty.
If some of these men who are al
ways talking about "how mother used
to do** had had the duty done hy them,
they would know more about how to
treat their wives.

The lVuman's Tlntnks.
There ls so much strong men are
thankful for,
A nation'? progress or a slow strife's
end;
And though I Join my praise with
theirs today.
Grave things are these I scarce can
comprehend.
So fast are they:
And so apart dear God. I pray Thee
take
My thanks for these, Thy little bless
ings' sake.
The little common Joys of every day.
My garden blowing In an April
wind,
A linnet's greeting and the morning
fall
Of hapoy sunshine through the op
ened blind.
The poplars tall
That guard my threshold, and the
peace that falls
Like Sabbath' stillness from my hum
ble walls.
The little, simple joys that we forget
Unless we lost them; for the lamp
that lights
The pages of books I love the best,
The hearth's red welcomlngs on
i winter's nights,
The kindly Jest
That moves, witt In its circle, and the
near
Companionship of those the heart
aolds dear.
The dear, accustomed Joys we lightly
take
Too much for g ranted sometimes as
a child
HIB father's girls; and, so remem
bering.
For these my thinks, for these my
treasures piled,
Each simple thing
Those wiser may forget, dear Father,
take
My thanks for these. Thy little bless
ings' saks.

Bazaar.

LABOR UNION CAUSEO
CONSIDERABLE MIX-UP
FIGHT AT ANDERSON MILL
MONDAY NIGHT
WOMEN WERE HURT
Representative of American Fed
eration of Labor Was trying to
Organize Association Here.
While a speaker was addressing a
large crowd of mill workers at Ed
mons store on F street in Anderson
mill village Monday night, a fight took
place between Henry Aiken and W.
S. Edmonds, during the course of
which Edmonds was cut across the
arm and his wife and daughter also
suffered painful injuries from knife
wounds. It is said that the cutting
was done by Henry Aiken,
i It seems that the crowd nf mill
people were rather noisy while the
speech was being delivered by the la
bor organizer and Edmonds came out
ot his store and asked tbat they be
quiet. Henry Aiken was in the crowd
and before this time he had heard it
said that Edmonds had referred to
him as Judas. Aiken thouglit that
this was a good time to resent this
insult so he called out "Yes, and Ju
das ls here tonight," This precipi
tated a battle of words, followed by
blows, and then the cutting ensued.
Aiken came over to the city and sur
rendered to the uwciais and gave
bond while Officers Driskell and
Whitten went over to the mill vil
lage and arrested Edmons. The case
was tried yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock in police court and both par
ticipants in the conflict were con
victed. Aiken was fined $5.00 but
sentes -? was suspended and Edmonds
was fin :d $5.00.
It is understood that the effort to
organize a branch of tho American
Federation of Labor here will likely
prove successful. It is undesetood
that the organizer left the city jy er
day but will return in a few days and
that ibo association will be formally
perfected, officers selecf?d, etc.
It was learned yestc.day that Ed
monds was not injured to any ex
tent in the fight and the cuta sus
tained by hiB wife and daughter were
scarcely more than scratches.
