ing circumstances, they give certain indica
tions of what the natural endowments are.
If a boy has taste for farming, and an
inclination to engage in it, in nine cases out
of every ten, such boy will make a respec
table tller of the soil. Put such boy to q
mechanical trade, and when his head is gray
and his cheeks furrowed with age, he will be
nothing but poor, miserable cobbler. Du'
ring the whole of his life he will row against
the current. The reverse is also true. Put q
boy to the plow, whose tastes and inclina'
tions are naturally directed toward mechani
cal pursuits, and he will never be noted in bis
neighborhood for anything but buying corn
and being the owner of poor stock. The same
general principle applies with respect to what
are called the learned professions.
Parents sometimes, in violation of the tastes
and inclinations of their sons, determine to
make them lawyers, physicians or preachers
They Judge that such and such one of their
sons will make lawyer, that another will
make physician, and that another will make
preacher Much money has been expended
in this mechanical way of making lawyers,
physicians and preachers, and the usefulness
of many men ruined for life. If parents
would prudently direct the natural tastes and
inclinations of their sons, and not attempt to
make out of them something for which nature
never assigned them, there would be a greater
number of skillful mechanics, of successful
planters, and an infuitel y less number OF
cobblers and professional drones.
Before young man engages in any avoca'
tion, he should be sure that he has the natu,
raj endowments which will enable him to en-
gage with success in that avocation. No ex'
traneous circumstances should induce him to
20 against the natural current Having
made wise choice Of an avocation, let him
make it point to stick to it. "Rolling stones
never gather moss" is an old but very peril
nent proverb. The man who tries to be jack
of all trades and professions, always fails to
master any one of them. Let the shoemaker
stick to his last, was the wise instruction o1
the painter. One thing at time, and only
one thing all the time, is certainly the safest
policy.

WHAT WILL / BE?

One of the most important steps in the his
tory of every young man is the choice of an
avocation. Most young men reflect upon this
subject for long time, and after all, in many
instances, the gravest blunders are made Per-
sons often engage in callings for which they
are by nature wholly incapacitatcd. The result
is individual failure, and they pass through
life miserable drones in society. Sometimes
it is said that such and such BOY will make
man that will succeed in any department of
life. In some rare instances this may be true !;
but such cases must be regarded as exceptions
to the general rule. Almost any boy of ordi-
nary endowments can succeed, if he will try, in
some particular calling; but it will be found
that few men ever learn to do two things WELL
One thing at time is all that any man can
do we'll.
In the choice of an avocation, calling or
profession for life, the first thing to be con-
suited is the natural capabilities and tastes.
1t is useless for boy to engage in any thing,
as an avocation for life, for which he is inca
pacitated by nature. TO say that boy has
not the proper endowments to make skillful
mechanic, is far from saying that he is idiotic.
Some boys have no mechanical talents, and
yet they have very high endowments in some
other direction. 1t often happens that men
of great skill in agriculture are unable to
make the commonest and most simple agri-
cultural implements. tits useless to say that
after boy makes his choice of a profession,
he can then, by close attention, make skllltul
performer. AS we'll might we expect boy
with some natural defect about his hearing, to
make himself, by study and application, askill-
ful.'musician, or boy with some defect in his
vision, to become a skillful painter, as for a
boy of defective mechanical endowments to
make good machinist The same is true
with respect to every other avocation. Nature
must 60 before and bestow the capabilities,
and art follow after and cultivate them.
! Another very important thing to be con-
suited in the choice of a profession, is the
tastes and inclinations of the Individual.
These give indications of the capabilities.
The tastes of a boy may be vindicated, and
the inclinations biased; but when the tastes
and dinclinations are uncontrolled by surround

THE CHARLOTTE CELEBRATION.
Yopv Co1rNTy Time {

YORK COUNTY, June Z, 1910.
EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: The compile
ton of the Airline Railroad to Greenville
was the occasion of a Jubilee in Charlotte
N. c., on Thursday last, the merchants of the
latter city having determined to celebrate the
event by appropriate festivities, to which a
general invitation was extended to the people
all along the line of road.
About 8 o'clock, P. NJ, the train, consist
ing of near dozen cars laden with invited
guests, reached the depot, and was met by
the Charlotte Brass Band, the marshals and
citizens, when all were formed in line and
marched into the city to stand prepared for
the occasion. Gov. Vance delivered well
come address in his usual felicitous style,
which was responded to by Messrs. James
Birnie, of Greenville; D. R. Duncan, Of
Spartanburg; and Thomas Farrow, of At
lanta, Georgia.
At the conclusion of the addresses, Governor
Vance read the programme which would be
observed, and after again welcoming the
visitors to the hospitality of the city, the vast
assemblage dispersed to enjoy themselves in
various ways until the dinner hour, which
was fixed at u o'clock. The tables, ample
to seat four hundred persons at once, were
spread in Oates Hall, and everything was
provided in the most sumptuous manner.
Substantials and delicacies were supplied in
abundance, and wit and wine flowed freely
round the festive board. Regular toasts were
announced and happily responded to, and the
time was most agreeably passed until 10
o'clock, when the crowd began to disperse-
some to their quarters and others to the Cen
tral Hotel, to participate in the ball, which
was the crowning feature Of the occasion, and
continued until the wee small hours of morn
ing.
The affair was success in every respect,
and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
The celebration will long be remembered by
all who were present. Railroad enthusiasm
ran high, and I heard the action Of our Coun-
ty Commissioners, in reference to the Narrow.
Gauge project, highly commended. Let US
wake up on the subject. Let US have greater
railroad facilities, which will develop our re.
sources, increase our wealth and add to our
general prosperity. A GUEST.

THE COLORED MILITIA.

The lovers of peace and order throughout
the State, will regret to learn that steps are
being taken in various sections to organize
colored militia companies. So preposterous
does the measure seem, that when first we
heard such movement was on foot, we were
10th to believe it, and only credited the story
as an idle, sensational rumor. But our
doubts, we regret to say, were unfounded, and
while companies have already been organized
in some localities, we learn that the effort is
making to form company in Yorkville. We
deprecate this movement, and hope our color
ed citizens will reflect before taking step
which cannot confer the least possible benefit
upon them, either as class or individually,
while it may possibly involve them in trouble,
to the detriment of both races, and cause a
repetition of the troubles of only two years
ago, from which this immediate section has
not yet recovered. Surely, neither the whites
nor the blacks desire recurrence of those
troublous times. We do not speak menacing-
ly. We are only advising what we believe
for the good of all. Let us profit by past ex-
perience. Any of our colored citizens, upon
the least reflection, cannot but see what will
be the effect of arming and organizing their
own race to the exclusion of the whites. The
result will Be just as direful in the future as
it has been in the past. Here, all is now
peaceful and tranquil Never were the
whites and blacks in this section moving
along more amicably together, and it behooves
all of either race, for the welfare of both, to
do nothing to mar the present good feeling.
The colored people cannot urge means Of
self protection as reason for this step, for no
citizens were ever more fully in the enjoy
ment of their rights than the blacks Of South
Carolina to-day; and we feel fully assured
that it is not the wish or desire of any white
man to molest them in the proper exercise of
those privileges.
AS to the whites themselves, even though
the opportunity were given, they do not, as a
body, wish to be organized into militia, for
the simple reason that there is no necessity
for such organization of either race. Our
country is virtually at peace with all the world,
and if trouble were apprehended, the tram
poosing of few detached militia companies
over the country could effect nothing in main
tanning the military prestige of the Govern
ment. We fear that scheming politicians,
working for their own promotion and aggran-
dizement are at the head of this unfortunate
movement, and we warn the colored men
to beware of the dangerous trap to which
it will surely lead them.

out his circuit. The beneficial effects of this
judicial warning, and the rebukes of his Hon.
or, are evidenced by the closing of grog shops
throughout his circuit All honor is due to
the judge for his rigid enforcement Of law
which has been hitherto wholly disregarded
in its application to an evil which is more
fruitful source of crime than all others COIN
bined. Should his example be initiated in
eryjudicial circuit in the State in enforcing
even the present meagre restrictions in their
true spirit, South Carolina would witness the
Inauguration Of an era Of prosperity and ces-
sation of crime which would cause joy through
out her borders"

REFINEMENT OF REMAINS OF SOUTH.
ERN SoLD1ERs.-Thursday was a mournful
day in Richmond, Va. The memory of the
lost, blunted by time, was revived on that
day, by the arrival of 333 Southern soldiers,
who had never surrendered, but laid down
their lives in cause they believed to be just,
on the heights at Gettysburg. They were not
met with music and orations and waving of
handkerchiefs, but solemn cortege of their
surviving comrades, with muffied drum and
arms reversed, followed their mouldered re,
mains through crowded streets, silent as death,
where only the quivering lip and brimful eye
was the tribute to their memory. All along
the line of march, stores were closed, and
business in the city was generally suspended,

Another Great Fire in Boston.

- Another great fire has visited Boston,
and consumed number of the noblest struc.
lures in that city. About halfpast eight
o'clock on Friday morning fire broke out
in the furniture warehouse of Haley & Co.,
and before the alarm could be given, the
immense building was wrapped in flames. 1t
being impossible to check the fire, the build
ing, with its contents, was soon in ashes.
Other buildings soon caught and the flames
spread with alarming rapidity. The fire con-
tinued to rage until the afternoon, when it
was subdued, but not until many millions Of
dollars worth of property was destroyed.
Obsequies Of Minister Orr.
"A letter from St. Petersburg, dated
May the 9th, gives the following interesting
particulars of the death of Minister Orr, and
the sad and impressive sight at the obsequies
over his remains:
"The diplomatic career of Governor Orr
came to painful end before it was fairly be-
gun. 1t is not quite two months since he ar
rived at st. Petersburg, and presented his Gre
dentials to the Emperor. He was suffering at
the time from severe cold, contracted during
the Atlantic passage, and about week after
his formal installation in his new Office he was
forced to take his bed. From that day he did
not leave his apartments Cold settled on his
lungs, and afterward passed to his liver, so
that his blood became seriously affected. No
serious result was apprehended, however, and
on Friday, four days before he died. his friends
thought he was slowly yetsteadily improving
but on Monday last the sad change came, and
he died quite suddenly at 2 o'clock.
The funeral services we're celebrated to-day
at the chapel of the English-American socie-
ty. There was no discourse, and the pastor
simply read the impressive ritual Of the
Church of England, and closed with short
prayer. The gloomy little chapel was by no
means full. There were some dozen ladies,
English and American, half dozen Ameri-
can gentlemen in black, and thirty or forty
diplomats in their brilliant, yet sombre Court

NEGROES DROWNED.

Several days ago two negro men were
drowned near Loves Ford on Broad river,
while fishing in batteau, There were three
in company, and it seems that one of them
having caught an eel, attempted to kill it by
stamping on it as it lay in the bottom of the
boat This sprung leak in the boat and it
commenced filling with water. Two of the
negroes, who wero good swimmers, jumped
from the boat and attempted to swim ashore,
but were drowned. Of these, one was named
George Wood. The nnmes of the other ne
groes we could not learn. The one who saved
himself could not swim, but wac saved by
clinging to the boat until assistance reached
him.

SURVEY OF THE c. & L. N. q. RAILROAD.
Col. Fleming Gardner has been elected chief
engineer of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Gauge Railroad. He arrived at Chester on
Monday last, and will, we learn, commence
the survey Of the line, at Chester, on We'd
nesday of next week.
The Committee appointed to confer with the
Kings Mountain Railroad Company, as to
terms of purchase or consolidation with that
company, had an interview with Maj. G.. W.
Melton, President of the road on Saturday
last and from the result of that interview,
we feel warranted in the conclusion that no
satisfactory arrangement can be perfected with
the Kings Mountain road. 1t is probable,
therefore, that should the road be built, it will
be constructed entirely new from the begin
ming to the terminal point.
