YOUR TOWN.

Next to mans family and business
nothing should stand nearer his heart
than the town in which he lives. 1t is
the place where he wins his competence
and educates his children. He wants to
make it as populous, as thrifty and as
widely known as possible; he cannot afford
to be Indifferent to anything which
furthers these ends. 1t can be said that
town that is not worthy of the devotions
of its citizens in making it widely known
and greatly prosperous, is town IN winch
it is not worth while to live in at all. II
such town is worth anything it IS worth
the full measure of our devotion, whether
We receive any immediate dividend IN
dollars and cents, or whether we merely
take our share OF the common benefits ac-
corded to the community.
We may yet add that if persons cannot
identity themselves with the interests OF
their town, and be in sympathy and touch
with people with whom they live, it would
be better for all concerned for them to
move out"
There are many who live off Of COM
munity and contribute nothing to it.
They oppose Church, State and School,
and everything else in which they cannot
lead, or make a profit out Of tearing
down without the ability or disposition
to build up. They never give anything
better than community may have; and IN
their fault-fnding, opposition and lndlf-
ference, they crush out what could be
made more prosperous, if they expend-
ed half the effort in trying to build up as
they do in tearing down.
Away with such people!

THE ORGANISM OF MAN.

In the human body there are 2G3 bones.
The muscles are 500 IN number.
The length of the alimentary canal is
about 80 feet. The amount of blood III
an adult averages 80 pounds, or fully one
fifth of the entire weight. The heart IS
six inches in length and inches il diam
eter, and beats 70 times per minute, 4.2OO
times per hour, 1O0,S0O per day, 36, ,702 900
times per year, 1866, AZ, 600 in three score
and ter, and at each beat 2! ounces are
thrown out of it, lis ounces per minnie,
656 pounds per hour, 3}24 tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes. This little
organ, by its ceaseless industry, pumps
each day what is equal to lifting l22 tons
one foot high, or one ton l22 feet high.
The lungs will contain about one gallon
of air at their usual degree OF imitation.
We breathe on average 1900 times per
hour, inhale 600 gallons or air, OF 2t,ooo
per day. The aggregate surface OF air
cells of the lungs exceeds 2O,O0O square
inches, an area very nearly equeal. The
average weight OF the brain of an adult
male is 3 pounds and ounces, OF a fe-
male pounds and ounces. The nerves
are all connected with it, directly or by
the spinal marrow. These nerves, to-
gether with their branches and minute
Tamifcations,probably exceedilo, ,OO0.oOOin

miles long. Man is marvelously made.
Who is eager to investigate the curious
and wonderful works OF Omnipot Mt

CHICAGO, June y The City Coun-
Gil last night voted TO stop merchandise

How to Strengthen Character.
Philadelphia Times.

There is no more certain way Of de-
stroyipg confidence in Individual will
force than to make promise to yourself
and then break it. Because the whole
world is not taken into the secret of your
contract with your conscience is no reason
why you should feel at liberty to slip away
from such VOWS, for they ought TO be as
firmly binding as though the oath had
been witnessed by an army OF spectators.
Such an added amount of self-respect
comes in to your life if you only accustom
yourself to fulfill your intentions and re-
solves. If you have over night decided
to rise early, carry out this determination
when morning comes, even though you feel
sleepy and disinclined to live up to your
wide-awake ideas on tine subject. It you
cuddle down for another snooze and wake
up an hour or more after the time planned
you may feel more thoroughly rested, but
you are likewise certain to feel dlsgusted
at your own weakness.
It is an excellent plan Of life which
many we'll konwn men and women have
adopted to make a note of what is TO be
done during the day and then conscientl.
ousIy preform each individual duty until
Opposite the list can be written the salts
factory word done"
Such method, whether followed ont
according to the written schedule or only
prompted by mental suggestions, is sure
means of strengthening character and IS
of advantage to every one, though the days
obligations may be only ola purely social
character. Let your associates realize that
when you promise you will surely per-
form. Acquire the habit OF living up to
your word whether that word is given to
yourself or to others. Unreliability is the
surest means of losing friends, and it
matters not, when the deed is done, whetE-
er the promise was left unkept through
forgetfulness or intention. If you wish
to stand we'll with the world, stand well
with yourself. Live up to your resolves and
you will every day find greater strength
of character growing out of this habit and
the respect of the world will grow in ac-
cordance with the dependence it can place
upon yo1l.

Sam Jones on the Third Party.

1.-THE Third Party or party of the
Third Psrsy, or whatever you call it,
may get to Heaven, but they'll never
get to Washington. It's not on the
way. Washington is the wiekedest
place on earth. 1t is the home Of the
devil. The average Democrat and Re-
publican politicians are little better
than rascals, but the Third Party man
is fool. You can reform rascal, but
did you ever undertake to monkey with
a fool?
"They WANT to borrow money from
the Government at 2 per cent, when
the Government is now borrowing at ).
We hear great deal of fools talk about
the rich getting richer and the poor
poorer under onr present laws. There
never was g greater lie and III prove
it."
He cited the cases of Vanderbilt,
Stewart, Gould, Carnegie and others,
all of whom had started from humble
beginnings.
There's nothing the matter with the
law. It's the man that's at fault.
There's q lawyer on that side of the
house who makes $40, ,G00a year. Here's
little pettifogger whose family is
starving. The law is not to blame. It's
the man himself. Here's physician
making $4,000 a year. There's little
doctor over in the other corner can't
make bis salt. The law is not to blame.
I preach nearly every day to 5000 peo-
pie and here's little preacher sitting
behind me who can't average 200. The
trouble is not in the law, brother, it's
in your poggin.
''The difference is organic. 1fall the
wealth Of the United States were
divided out to day each man would get
about 81, ,160and in less than six months
some fellows would he riding in palace
cars and the others would be walking
crossties and bowling for another
divvy."

To Careless Girls.
From Donahoe's Magazine. I

Many of US know the girl who, has
teniDg to class or lecture, leaves at
home an Untitled room, openl lidded
boxes, bureau drawers suggestive Of
compressed earthquake, bookcase doors
swinging in immiEent risk of demoli-
tion-who litters hallstand and vesti-
bule with discarded gloves and
crumpled memoranda, whose belong
ings are distributed indiscriminately
through every room, regardless OF
ownership. She, evidently waits to
help" but is she preparing herself
meanwhile for the prospective ser
vice?
Many of US know the patient mother,
who moves along in the track of this
household hurricane to remove the de-
bris, rearrange the surroundings, close
a box, smooth a glove, clear stand and
table of encumbrances and make fast
the door that endangers the precious
volumes it is supposed to guard, as
wei! as the physical safety Of some
junior member Of the family.
I like 10 tell young people Of a SIM
pie rule my mother enforced, the help
fulness of which it took me years to
realize: "Never leave a room without
noticing whether there is not some
thing which belongs or is likely to be
needed in another part of the house
and will eventually have to be carried
there"
1t is astonishing how rarely you find
yourself going from room to room emp.
ty-handed # you observe this rule and
how many steps you save somebody
who needs to have steps saved.

Mark Twain's Way.

The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, says the
Kansas City Times, relates the follow
ing story: When I was living with
my brother in Buffalo, Mark Twain
occupied cottage across the street.
We didn't see very much of him, but
one morning as we were enjoying our
cigars on the veranda after breakfast we
saw Mark come to his door, in his
dressing gown and slippers, and look
over at Us. He stood at his door and
smoked for a minute as if making up
his mind about something and at last
opened his gate and came lounging
across the street. There was an un-
occupied rocking chair on the veranca'
and when my brother offered it to
him he dropped into it with sigh OF
relief. He smoked for few moments
and said:
"Nice morning."
.'Yes, very pleasant"
o "Shouldn't wonder if we had rain
by and by"
"Well, we could stand little.''
''This is nice house you have here"
Yes, we rather like it,"
"Bow's your family?"
''Quite well-and yours?'
"Oh, we're all comfortable"
There was another impressive silence,
and finally Mark Twain crossed his
legs, blew puff of smoke into the air
and in his lazy drswl remarked: Il
suppose you are bit surprised to see
me here so early. Fact is l haven't
been so neigh hborly perhaps as J. ought
to be. We must mend that state OF
things. But this morning came over
because I thought you might be in
terested in knowing that your roof IS
on fire. It struck me that it would be
good idea if'-
But at the mention Of fire the whole
family busted up stairs, trailing Ian
gtlage all the way up. When We had
put the fire out and returned to the
veranda, Mark wasn't there.

Let it run, and your cough may end
in something serious. It's pretty sure
to, if your blood is poor. That is just
the time and condition that invites
Consumption. The seeds are sown aud
it has fastened its hold upon you, be-
fore you know that it is near.
1t won't do to trifle and delay, when
the remedy is at hand. Every disorder
that can be reached through the blood
yields to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. For severe Coughs. Brsn-
chial, Throat and Lung Diseases,
Asthma, Scrofula in every form, and
even the Scrofulous affection of the
lungs that's called Consumption, in all
its earlier stages, it is positive and
complete cure.
1t is the only blood-cleanser, strength
restorer, and flesh-builder so effective
that it IAN be guaranteed. If it doesn't
benefit or cure, in every case, you have
your money back.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
They Can Sign Petitions Eut Cannot Vote
in Elections for Special Tax.

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: In your issue of June !oth,
friend Chips asks me two questions.
TO the questions ] answer yes, and no.
The trustees of any school district can
call meeting for the purpose Of voting
a supplemental tax, only upon the
written REQ uest of a majority of resi-
dent freehoIders of the age of twenty
one years nd over. Here nothing, Is
said about ex, so I say woman who
is freehold er and q years OF age
and over may sign petition for ABOVE
mentioned purpose.
The school law says, "That the vote''s
of said school Districts" &C., &C., are
authorized to levy such tax. AS
woman under the laws of South Caro-
lima is not a Voter she can not vote IS
matter of course.
To summarize: l. A woman, being
freehoIder and twenty-one years OF age,
has the right to sign or not sign
petition to trustees to call meeting 10
vote supplemental tax.
2. A woman not being voter can
not vote at such election.
Respectfully,
THos. w. KEITT,
School Commissioner Newoerry
