Getting a Start in Life.

Ny advice to young man would be to
first obtain the best education possible, col
legiate if he could; then engage in such
business or profession as would be agree
able to his inclination and taste, then adopt
honesty as policy. The old phrase: "Hon-
esty is the best policy" is so little under
stood by young men that it goes in one ear
and out of the other. If young man has
not honesty let him adopt it as matter OF
policy as means to business success; be-
cause the young man who possesses hon
esty and integrity (or has the reputation OF
possessing them) and is attentive to the IN
terests Of his employers, not needing or
taking note of time in his daily duties, but
performing such duties as he sees should be
performed, whether they are assigned to
him or not, assuming responsibility Of doing
that which should be done for his employer,
doing this in whatever vocation he chooses
with good, common, ordinary Judgment
in nine cases out of ten will succeed.-Sen-
ator e. B. Farwell, in Chicago Tribune.

offered S. 900 for e Wife.

MAaTINsvu1E. Ind, October 6.-Some
months ago an advertisement appeared in
the Indianapolis papers saying that cne
James Morgan would pay $1,000 for
wife, giving his address at this place.
Hundreds of letters have arrived at the
postoffice for him from every part Of the
country since that time. Many of them
were scented and decorated in way
that would do credit to Cherokee
brave. A few weeks ago a reporter
learned that the man who yearned for
bride was sailing under false name;
that his true name was Morgan Johnson,
and that he resided at Lake Valley, this
County. He finally captured bride.
Yesterday, while the Circuit Court was
in session, Judge Grubbs was called
upon to 60 to the Clerks Office and
marry the happy couple. The bride, Miss
Rettie S. Wilson, is aged II, while john
sons age is 80.

FAVORS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks We Do No
Hang Murderers Soon Enough.

Cardinal Gibbons Thinks We Do Not
Hang Murderers Soon Enough.
BALTIMORE, October 16.-Cardinal
Gibbons sees in the tardiness with which
Justice is meted out to criminals a
serious menace 10 good order and good
government. He favors and is be.
lever in the efficiency of capital punish
ment, and is of the opinion that there
are too many, loopholes through which
guilty persons may escape punishment
for crime. In his new work, ''Our
Christian Heritage" soon to be pub
lished, the Cardinal says:
ga crying evil is the wide interval
that so often interposes between Grim
inal conviction and the execution of the
sentence, and the frequent defeat of JUS
tice by the delay. Human life is indeed
sacred, but the laudablc effort to guard
it has gone beyond bounds. Of late
years the difficulty to convict, in murder
trials especially, has greatly increased
from the widened application Of the
pleas in bar-notably that of insanity.
When conviction has been reached
innumerable delays generally stay the
execution. The many grounds of excep-
ton allowed to the counsel, the appeals
from one court to another, with final ap-
plication to the Governor, and the facil-
ity with which signatures for pardon are
obtained have combined to throw
around culpritS an extravagant protec-
tive system, and gone far to rob jury
trial of it's substance and efficacy. A
prompt execution of the laws sentence
after a fair trial is that which strikes
terror into evil doers and satisfies the
public conscience. The reverse of this
among US has brought reproach upon
the administration OF justice, and given
plausible grounds for the application OF
lynch law

From the Bar TO the Pulpit.

Col. r. \. Child OF Pickens, one of
the most talented lawyers of upper
South Carolina, has decided to go from
the bar to the pulpit. At the Quarterly
Conference at Pickeps on last Saturday
Mr.. Child was recommended to the An
nual Conference, soon to convene, for
admission into the travelling connection.
He has sold his valuable law library to
his partner, James P. Cary, ESQ, and
will at once enter upon his ministerial
duties. He has been an able local
preacher in the Methodist Church for
some time, and now that he relinquishes
the law and deyotes all his tine and
talent to the preaching of the Gospel,
we predict for him career of great
usefulness.-Wdlllalla Courier.

SEPARATE COACHES.
Something for Railroad Managers in
South Carolina to Think About.
(F''on tile Me~Jerry OJ~,~er.)

(F'o,n tile Ne~Jer9y 0J~,rer.)
During Fair week last year the rail
way coaches were packed with pro-
miscuous crowd of all characters and
colorS.
The negroes, as a rule, were on a
frolic and went to Columbia for fun,
not for the fair-their idea OF fun being
to GET on drunk aud to make them
selves as disagreeably noisy and con-
spicuous AS possible.
Tie Observer, Immediately after the
fair, called attention to the evil, and
said that if some remedy were not ap-
piled the best white people outside Of
Columbia - especially ladies = would
cease gong to the fair. There must be
some Improvement. The behavior of
the negroes-or large portion of them
rather abominable, especially on
the trains coming out of Columbia i'll
this direction at nights. The behavior
was not only rude and noisy, but it was
shamefully indecent and blasphemous-
such as no respectable person ought
ever be subjected to.
The white people along the lines Of
railroad leading into Columbia should
act in concert this year and unanimously
determine to keep away from the fair
unless the railroads will give a reason
able assurance that decent behavior will
be enforced. There is no objection to
fun and jollity and noise; but decent
people have a right to be protected from
profane and indecent behavior on tie
railroads.
The desired end, we think, might be
accomplished by providing separate
coaches for whites and blacks.
There is now a growing demand in
this State. anyway, to adopt the Georgia
plan of separate coaches at all times and
on all roads. This would be a good
move if the roads are able to bear the
additional expense. They are able, it
seems, in Georgia-why not in South
Carolina?
1t would be decidedly better to have
separate coaches. The plan has been
declared legal by the Inter State Com
merce Commissioners, provided equal
accommodations are afforded to each
race. The negroes should be kept out
of the cars set apart for the whites, and
the whites should be kept out of the
cars set apart for the negroes. 1t would
tot GO to make the second class car, or
smoking car, the negroes car; for that
would not be legal, and would not be
fair either.
Ordinarily negroes ride mostly in the
second-class car, and the evil OF mixing
is not so noticeable except on occasions
Of cheap rates AID excursions, like the
State Fair or Gala Week.
Men can stand almost any kind of
crowds for while, no matter how dis
agreeable; but ladies cannot and will

Unfair Condemnation.

The unfairest way to condemn an individ-
nal is to condemn him because he belongs to
a class whose individuals are often blame
worthy, but whose blameworthiness has no
essential connection with the class idea.
When mother reprimands child by say
ing: "Look at your hands! always did
hear that boys hands were never clean;''
Or: Don't make such racket! Boys never
can do any thing quietly,"-she simply
blames him for what she declares to be an
essential characteristic Of his sex and age
and so effectually denies to him the hope OF
his doing better. The child naturally rea.
sons: 81 am boy, and if boys are always
so, I must be so. too:' And many a boy
who has been struggling and striving to do
better has been discouraged and perma-
nently injured by being condemned, not for
what faults he has, but for what faults
boys have.-S. S. Times.

She had just been arrested by a New

During a years married life the pris,

Then she stabbed him, and, exulting
in her new freedom, exclaimed: 81 hope

The reader OF our news columns will
almost every day read accounts of horri

The law has no terrors for man whose
blood is on fire. The certainty of pun
ishment will not check him. At the su-
preme momeut-in the tempest Of his
passion-he cares nothing for the conse-
quences.
The law cannot control hot blood.
The only human power that can do it is
that sober public opinion which is the
outcome of a Christian and sensible
system of family government. The
lesson of self-con,rol. instliled Into
children by precept and example, with
the liberal use of the rod when ceces-

arrived here to-day from New York, in
company with W. H. Brawley, the

Made the Speaker Sit Down.

"The Tale of Vice. song, calls to
mind an incident that happened down
in Ohio when Foraker was nominated
for governor. The excitement ran
high and the hall where the conven-
ton was held was packed, main floor
and gallery. Nomination speeches
were then in order, and a long, lanky
individual, whom no one seemed to
know much about, got to his feet and
nominated a man named Lampson.
The lanky orator was fowery at the
start, but, unfortunately for him,
though perhaps fortunately for the
audience, his oratory did not hold out,
and, after some high-fown expressions
regarding Mr.. Lampson, he said, and
often repeated the words: HE will
grow, he will grow It became a
triie m~onotonous to the audience. when
suddenly a boy in the gallery, who had
without doubt heard Wilson and Jansen
in the popular song, sang out in perfect
rhyme with the speaker: ''Listen to
my tale of VICE." It caught the aud
fence and an suproar ensued. The
speaker sat down as "squelched" a man

Mr.. Dockery was There.

We were about to leave Louisville
on a down-river steamer, and the
men were just hosting in the gang
plank, when a tall, slim young man,
with a great deal of cunning in his
composition, leaned on the rail of
the promenade deck, scanned the
crowd of 200 on the levee, and called
out in a thin voice:
"Say! is Mr.. Dockery there?"
"He isl" promptly replied a voice.
"Then tell him I'm coming back in
about a week to sandpaper his head!"
1t was intended for q joke, but no
one laughed. Just at that minute
the g%ang-plank was dropped for a
belated passenger, and a man from
the crowd rushed along in to the
boat, lodged upstairs like amonkey
and next minute appeared before the
astonished smart Aleck.

'Oh, now, but you aren't Mr.. Dock

"Aren't 1? Don't l know my own

And he banged him right and left,
lifted him up and down, and ended
by spreading him over the deck as
far as he would reach. Then he
skipped Otto be received with cheers,
while the young man gathered up
the fragments and splinters and re-
tired. He was on the boat three
days with us and during that time
l never saw him but once. Then he
had his head out of his state-room
window to view the scenery on the
Arkansas shore. One of tho boys
yelled: "Dockery!" and the head
vanished, to be seen no more.-New

A Hungry Bloodsuoker.

A Pennsylvania hunter saw a weasel
hopping over the dead leaves in a
piece of woods near Dalton, lodging
and shifting at the ground as it ran.
Soon the hunter saw that the weasel
was in pursuit of a rabbit, aud pre-
sently he got sight of the latter.
When the rabbit discovered that it
was being chased by its deadly foe it
darted into a hole. The weasel fol-
lowed it and stayed in the hole for
several minutes. Then it skipped
into the hole of another rabbit, where
it remained about the same length of
time. When it reappeared the hunter
shot it as it was making for the bur-
row of another rabbit. On cutting the
weasel open he found that it's stomach
was chock full of blood, and the hum
ter made up his mind that the active
little creature had gorged itself on the
blood of two. rabbits since he first
caught sight of it. - 49,.

Eastern Beggars.

Beggary throughout the east is a
thriving profession. There areguilds
of beggars, besides the numerous
communities of dervishes, who are
semi-religious mendicants. Many
families have been beggars for gener-
ations, and are mendicants from
choice. Some of these professional
beggars are actually wealthy. Four
and-twenty years ago the writer we'll
remembers a case. The Chief Beggar
(the title was not conferred in deri-
sion) gave his daughter in marriage
to a substantial farmer. The girls
dowry consisted of two freehold
houses. the rooms of which we're en-
tirely filled with dry pieces of bread,
and the sale of these begged crusts
subsequently realized a considerable
sum, being disposed of as food for
cattle. 1t must be remembered that
in the east there isno organized char
ity, that most Mussulmans are ex-
ceedingly charitable, many giving
away a fifth and some even a third
of their income. Under such circum-
stances it is not to be wondered at
that the professional beggar thrives.

Discovery Of a Lost Art.

Tempering of copper is one of the
lost arts, which has been actively
sought for by scientists and mechan-
les for years. The process has been
accidentally discovered, and tests of
the copper thus treated have shown
most remarkable strength and wear
ing qualities. 1t will be especially
valuable for use in the bearings and
commutators of dynamo machines,
and also for the journals of locomo-
tives and cars. An establishment in
Pennsylvania is now placing the met
al on the market.-New York Tele-
