Doesn't It Look Like a job?

We see that we are to get the hard
pine necessary for the roofing of the
State House from Baltimore at $28
per thousand. This is very extra
ordinary in a State producing as
good hard pine as the world contains,
and covered with saw mills on every
road running into our city. How
does this fact look for State consId-
ering it CT sufficient Importance TO
go to the expense OF making an ez-
position OF her valuable woods, as
was done at tie New Orleans Expo
sition. and where South Carolina
made the best exhibit of woods Of
any State in the Union? With these
facts before us, what does this con.
tract made with Baltimore contrac-
tors mean? Could there be any Diff
Guilty in placing that contract at arr
OF our first class mills or lumber mer.
chants at S15 thousand? Is pos
sible, with all the building going on
ali over the State, that the very best
picked AID seasoned lumber could
not be placed here at less than s2s
q thousand? II not, it is most ex-
traordinary condition Of things.
It is no answer to say the Charles
ton milling merchants we're written
to and refused to give any figures.
Why should they? Was the contract
offered to the public and bids asked?
Why should these Charleston millers
or merchants give away their figures
without the opportunity afforded to
take the contract2 There was no
business in it. Can it be supposed
that Charleston is less anxious to
dispose Of its lumber than Baltimore?
And if it can be believed that Char
lesion merchants were unwilling to
Eli such q contract, were there no
other places in the State to do it?
Vas the contract altered to the pu6tac?
We don't care about the money Ia
yolyed IN tie transaction, though
that is a matter not to be overlooked -
but it is the atmosphere of the whole
thing that we don't like.
Again, we are told that no con-
tractor has put in bid to set the
stone on the wall. And The reason
assigned is, that in view Of the pres
ent strikes, contractors seeesssse2e
unwilling to enter into any contFacs
Does anybody believe that work has
heen stopped in New York or Phila-
delphia CT Boston or Baltimore for
the want of contractors who have
been scared off from entering into
any engagements by the strikes?
Docs anybody believe that this state
Of things exists anywhere else than
at the South Carolina State Housee
These are questions we cannot
answe: satisfactorily to~ourse1Ees.E
and if the next step should be an
other Baltimore concern coming here
as a matter Of favor 10 US to set che
stone on our walls. somebody will
have to stand from under This is
all of it, and this is just what we
mean here.-Colon1bia Register.

GriIniDling.

II these lines should fall beneath
the eye of any one who is given to
the habit Of grunbling and complain,
ing, we ask his serious attention to
what follows.
Grulnbling is certainly one Of the
worst habits that any one can become
addicted to.
It makes the grumbler dissatisfied
with everything. good or bad; and
makes him miserable.
IF this were ali, it would not be so
bad. The habit Of grumbling makes
the grumbier sour, morose, disagree
able, and unpleasant to all with whom
he comes in contact; and, as conse
quence, his society is not sought
after, but rather avoided.
The habit Of grumbling and COM
planning continually, is not only very
unpleasant but positively wrong.
In the first place, it does no posi-,
bic good, and it is the duty Of every
one to make himself agreeable and
help to make others feel pleasantly.
It seems TO be q second nature
with some people. They grumble
about everything, and nothing suits
them. If things are one way to-day,
they grumble, and tomorrow il
things are the reverse, they grumbie
still.
They often see it does no good,
but they keep on grumbliDg all the
same.
There are many kinds of grumblers,
but we cannot discuss them all here.
Some grum5le because it is hot,
others because it is cold. In dull
times some grunlble on that account.
When times are good, Others grumble
because they are not better.
Some grumble because-perhaps
they can't help it.
All forms Of grumbling are bad
enough, but one Of the worst forms
Of grumbling that We know Of, is an
employer always bling and COM
planning at an employee. Let an EN-.
ployee be ever so faithful, and strive
ever so hard to please, still We sup
pose there are some employers who
grumble still.
This class of grumblers do a great
deal of wrong. They make them
selves miserable and infict needless

ers.
We never knew a constant grum-
bier and fault-Gnder to make the
world any brighter for himself, or
any one else.
Grumbling never yet helped ones
own cause or business. Grumbling
never yet helped to build up public
or private enterprise. It never has
been known to do any individual,
town, or community any good.

wonder why there are any grumbler<

How much happier tle world would

We are sorry fer grumblers.-
