Conscience In Work.

The policy of right doing cannot be
doubted. Every intelligent man and
woman must see that in nearly every in.
stance it pays richly and fully for what
ever labor or self.sacri6ce it may involve,
and in the few cases where they cannot
see this result most of them have sufi.
cient faith in the law to trust it. Yet, if
this be the only motive in action, it can
not be called right doing in the best
sense. That which is done solely from
the hope of gain or advantage cannot be
of the highest type.
The habit of doing what we have to do
as we'll, as thoroughly, and as speedily as
possible, without Immediate reference to
its probable or possible effects upon our.
selves, is one which would of itself secure
at once the best success for ourselves
and the greatest good of the community.
1t would settle many vexed questions
and solve many knotty problems, In.
stead of this, the common course is tc
consider closely the comparative benefit
that is likely to accrue to us in return.
There are all degrees of this calculation,
from the strictly just to the grossly self
ish. One man fries to estimate the true
worth CT his labor and performs it &C.
cordingly, another gives as little work,
secures as large returns as possible, and
between these there is every shade. But
in all such reckonings there is one i'm
portant element left out. No one can
count up the value of the labor which is
both generous and conscientious. Even
its money value can ne.er be calculated.
The youth who enters business deter
mined to do all that comes to his hands
as we'll and as quickly as he can, who is
anxious to lesrn and anxious to please,
who never measures his labor by his
wages, but freely gives all the work, and
the best work in his power is vastly more
valuable than the one who is always
bearing in mind the small pay he is re-
ceiving and fearing that he should give
too much in return. So the mechanic or
the clerk, who beyond bis stated salary,
beyond even his obligations to his EN-.
ployer, or the demands which public
opinion could make upon him, exerts
himself to make his work rs perfect as
he can, and delights in its thoroughness
and excellence, apart from any private
benefit it can render him, has a value
which can never be computed. 1t mat.
ters not what the work be, whether it be
done with the spade of the laborer, the
pen of the clerk, the brush of the artist,
or the voice of the statesman. Such
people are sought far and wide, there are
places always open to them, and their
services are always at premium. Tai
ents and skill tell for much, but con-
science in work tells far more. he whose
integrity is unquestionable, who can be
trusted far and wide, who will work
equally we'll alone as when every eye is
upon him, and Will do his best at all
times, is an invaluable member of soci-
ety. And he cannot do this simply from
the motive of self-interest. 1t is the re-.
suit of something more than intelligence
and foresight, it is conscience, vitalizing
every detail of labor, and raising it toits
highest pitch of excellence.-Canfection

We urge again upon the attention OF
patrons the Importance of perfecting, as
soon as possible, arrangements for their

In travelling through different COM
munities and meeting so many different
people, we cannot help being very serl'
ously impressed with the great lack OF
moral training on the part of some young
men. They have nos the faintest idea OF
self-respect, nor do they know the very
first and simplest principles of what con-
stitutes real gentleman. There must
have been in some sections neg
lect of this, or some younng men must
have been totally incapable of receiving
such training. Some people, and espe.
cially few young raen in Anderson
County, need moral training. This is
plain talk, but it is true. When 8 boy
does not know how to behave he is to be
pitied. People should not be offended at
his misbehavior, but they shonld pity
him. We are sorry for such young men.
Men aud women are what the world
needs, and not merely people who have
no regard for themselves nor aelf.respect,
and consequently cannot have any re-
gard or respect for others.

A Visit to Calhoun's Home.

1t Is not generally XDoWu auau tnoio
was once a Washington county, S. c.
The name may not be found on the old
est maps of the State, yet land grant in
possession of Mr.. Henry Shauklin, of
Pendleton, dated in the last decade of
the eighteenth century, was written and
signed in Washington county, S. O. This
county is said to have embraced the ter
ritory now occupied by Oconee. Pickens
and Anderson counties, with Pendleton
as county seat. Why this name was
dropped one would find it as difficult to
say as South Carolinian to ex plsin why
no county, no town, in our State has been
named for her greatest statesman. Even
the little post Office, Calhoun, will soon be
erased from the list 9 the postal clerk !.
A pleasant drive of three miles from PEN
dleton, village whose inhabitants tor
the most part live out of town-brought
us to Fort Hill. The place gets its name
from a hill near Calhoun's house, where
there are remnants of an old fort. Here
a few days ago, workman in making an
excavation unearthed what SCENE to be
a magazine. On our way we crossed
branches whose names we're numbers,
for instance, -Four mile Branch. These
streams, tradition says, an Indian girl
named as she ran from Fort George to
Ninety-six, marking the distance from
the fort.
We are on the grounds of Clemson
College, several hundred acres of hills
and dales of original forest, and fer
tile river bottoms. On one side of this
charming spot is flanked by the home OF
the Ravenels, and on the other by the
productive lands of the Lewis family
A more beautiful and healthful place for
q school could not be found in our State.
A stranger is impressed with the extent
of the grounds, the number and size Of
the buildings. Everything is on large
scale. A more magnificent school plant
can be found nowhere in the South. The
dining room will seat eight hundred sona
of farmers, and the we'll ventilated dor
m;tories will accommodate with comfort
the same number. With little crowd
ing one thousand boys can find place
to sleep and eat; to study and be instruct
ed in those branches which may I'll
them to transform tho wornout red hills
of the Piedmont Belt into productive
farms.
On an imminence, surrounded BY
grand old oaks, is a large white house
which in some respects it reminds one
of Mount Vernon. John @. Calhoun,
when he was U. S. Senator, could be
found at Washington or at this place
He hurried from one to the other as fas
as the old time stage could carry him
Under the shade of the oaks the grea
statesman thought out those State papers
which made him famous. This is his
toricsl ground because it was the home
of Calhoun, and but for this fact there
would have been no Clemson College
The name Of Calhoun looks as we'll
sounds as we'll, yet little flag station on
the Air Line r. R., three -fourths of q
mile from the college, is all that bears
the name of the illustrious Carolinian.-

Teachers phould always endeayor to
impress their pupils with the idea that
"aall things work together for good to
them that love God" Therefore, whether
we think thing is right or not. If we
love God he has concealed in every dis
appointment some blessing. We may
never see or know what it is, but We be-
lIeve the Bible and it so teaches US.
This is a great source of comfort to every
one who puts his trust in God and loves
Him. How miserable would any one be
If he or she had no hope for any help
except what arises in himself or herself.
Disappointment are often blessings in
disguise, and unfortunate, indeed, is that
person who can not SC feel. If We could
only have our own way in this world we
would certainly be very miserable. Like
the vines, we must be pruned for our own
good. Weshould also regard the rights
of Others just as We would have others to
regard our rights. Children should be
taught these principles while growing up.

Now here is just three towns that give
US nearly five thousand women who ere

their natural business :and does not con-
flict, go we did not number them as mems

I also had the figures from Columbus,
Macon and Savannah, but I was fearful
that the estimate wsa little wrong, and
I had rather be silent than wrong, Any
how, the three places above are sufficient
to show to what extent this female labor
business is being carried.
In closing this letter I wish it to be
understood that am not making any
war or these ladies. see them going to
and coming from their places, and l
could say nothing but in praise of their
department, their tidyness and their
sweet looks, but girls, don't you think it
would be better for you to 60 and take
places as Servants" in households? In
few more years there won't be any NO
men who know how to keep house, make
preserves and pickles, and raise gardens
and children, and milk COWS and make
butter. The word Servant" is where the
rub comes. It is false notion and there
is lots of false pride that better be thrown
away than mixed up in the matter.
There should be no more odium attached
to hiring out to do household work than
in hiring to do shop work. Men folks
can never change positions with you in
these things and the country is all out Of
Joint for some reason, and there must be
g reaction. 1t will come.

children enthused upon this ides, and 1t
will take away half the ills of the rugged
way.
Different people give as many different
reasons for these hard times in the towns.
Some of them tickle me, for many of
them lay it all to progress. 4 few years
ago when talked about progress being a
"bust," they hooted at me-called me an
old fogy, fool and crank, but you talk to
these same people now.
Some lay the hard times to the multi
tudes of labor saving machines, some say
that it's the niger, and some lay it to
the Chinaman, ard one fellow raised
thunder to me because Of the fact that
the good Christian folks of Atlanta are
receiving these heashens into their Sun
day schools. He says that our young
white women are teaching them and that
they set up among white folks at Sabbath
school as big as life. This fellow wants
these Cinnamon left alone-he wants
them to go to Hades, but I don't, for 1
know one young lady who teaches class
of them and I would like for them to be
saved on her account-but who would
have thought it?
But I must not let this "Chinese prob
lem" throw me off my subject. I was
telling of what these people out Of work
complain of as the cause. Some think
there are getting to be too many folks for
the amount of work, but they can't give
any practicable way to remedy this-at
least they suggest no probable" way to
stop the overplus-folks will be born,
you know.
But now come to fellow who lays
the whole trouble to our working girls"
They are worse than machines, Chinese,
niggers, "overplus" and all, he says. I
talked to this fellow at his home. He
stays at home all the time now, poor fel-
low, and he is sad over the situation. he
has done give up; he don't twear no boots,
nor shirts, nor coats, nor vests-be don't
wear nothing that men folks wear any
more. he had on, when seed him, one
old faded frock T; it was warm day then
I guess he will put on some other skirts
in winter, but don't know, for he sweara
that he can only get such things as they
throw away.
This fellow is mighty downtrodden and
swears that the boy children had better
be killed hereafter. He was book
keeper once, but be says young woman
crowded him out, and then he went from
one thing to another, crowded ont every
time by a girl, until he just give it up
and went home and is keeping house
while his females work up town. The
whole nature of things is being reversed.
he says, and nothing would surprise him
now, nothing, for he has to pinch him
self sometimes to decide whether he is
sure that he is or is not some female wo-
man.
This poor downtrodden fellow impress
ed me so strongly with his notion of the
situation that I have put myself to 8
sight of trouble to get at the facts gel
the figures on this working women
matter. I don't like to figure much, but
here are some pretty nearly correct fig
ures as to the number of women working
in the towns named, and when We take
in consideration that these women art
filling places that men uster fill it &C.
counts somewhat for the "overplus.

Rome and her people, especially those
who have crossed the river.
Comanchs boasts that thereis not a .ue'

we're swiftly passing by and nudred his

"Jim, yonders gully-don't you want to
