tleman is proper regard for the feelings ofoth-

security against other peoples i'll manners.
Good breeding is the result Of much good
sense some good nature, and a little selfde-
nial for the sake Of others.
Gentility is neither in birth, wealth. man.
ner nor fashion, but in the mind. A high
sense of honor, 9 determination never to take
a mean advantage Of another, an adherence
to the truth, delicacy and politeness towards
those with whom we have dealings, are the
essential characteristics Of a gentleman, All

much grandness and sanctity man was ca

and likeness. The likeness is principally in
the soul Of man, and the only standard by
which gentleman can bejudged is the divine

CAN BROAD RIVER BE MADE NAvIaABLES
We are glad to know that some of our neigh
bors about Blacks, Station, In York county,
are agitating this question. For fifty years
past engineers have been talking over this
matter, and it was considered practicable even
before the recent improvements in shallow
draught steamboats,. From Columbia up to
the crossing of the Airline Road, about four.
ffths of the channel would carry boats drawing
three feet during average water. There are
a few shoals in the way, but there are canals
cut long ago around most Of these. They
would need little deepening and widening,
The expense up to Smiths Ford, between Un-
ion and York counties, would be comparative
ly little Above that Ford is shoal or two
aggregating about six miles in length. Here
at these shoals is the finest water power in the
State. just above them lie the inexhaustible
beds Of iron and lime. Five counties would
be wonderfully benefited by the opening up
Of this river. The wonderful water powers
which are now worthless, because inaccessible,
would be sought after, because they could be
purchased for very little. The vast beds Of
magnetic iron ore in Spartanburg and Union
counties could then be utilized. The United
States contains no ore superior to this. There
are one hundred thousand acres of land in
Union, York and Spartanburg counties alone,
within few miles Of the river, which is now
waiting for settlers. If Broad river were
cleared out, and boats put on it, they would
come We hope our Representatives in Con-
gress will look after this interest which is Of
so much Importance to the central part Of our
State, from Charleston to it's Northern limit.
