months and served eight months. TIE
Atlanta Journal says "A petition for his
pardon came to the Governor. 1t was
signed by both Judges, We,born and C. C.
Smith, who tried him, Judge Smith stating
that Howell had been sufficiently punished,
he thought, as there had always been grave
doubt in his mind as to his guilt, the evi>

done in selfdetense." The Atlanta Jour-

wife of the man who vas billed, also asked
for the pardon, as she said she thought

THE CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.

|
On this subject the following from
the Atlanta Constitution is so per-
fectly in accord with our views that
We appropriate it as our own:
1t is hardly possible that the
young man who has learned how to
reason can contemplate the career
of other young men who figure in
the court reports OF the newspapers
without drawing a healthy and use
tui moral therefrom.
In these reports one fact stands
out clear and unmistakable. 1t is
this: that the young man who. for
whatever reason, persists in living
beyond his means, no matter how
slender that income may be, is sure
to reap the bitter fruits of his folly
is sure to come to grief There
is another fact, which, although it
does not figure prominently in the
newspaper reports, is equally as i'm
portant-namely: that young men
who live beyond their incomes are
not only objects of suspicion to their
employers. but to a large majority
OF their acquaintance.
Many an honest, well-meaning
lad has been led on to his ruin by
the false and foolish notion that he
must measure his own social gait
and his expenditures by those Of his
companions who are more fortunate.
ly situated. The great trouble with
young men is that their thoughtless-
ness permits them to set up absurd
standards of conduct. They. do not
stop to think. They take it for
granted that if they do not 90 the
pace set by those who have the ad-
vantages Of money and position,
they will be looked down on in a
social way.
There never was greater mis-
take than this. Even the giddiest
of giddy society finds time and op-
portunity to pay the tribute of re-
spect and confidence to the young
man who 10 doing bis whole duty ty
himself and his employers, and who
is living strictly within his income.
Nearly all the trouble into which
young men fall grow out of the no.
ton that the reckless expenditure
of money confers a sort of distinc-
ton. AS a matter of fact it is the
first fatal step towards ruin. In ali
the changes that have been made in
customs and habits and fashions the
old, simple law holds good-that the
only success that can bring comfort
and happiness Is the success that
grows out of honesty and economy.
The very simplicity of the condi.
lions of success are calculated to
deceive young men who have not
taught themselves to reason rightly.
These conditions lie on the surface
of things, and the young man that
turns away from them with contempt
is doomed to failure. First and
foremost is the necessity Of economy,
and it need not be pinching or par
simonious. The necessity of living
within his means should be realized
by every young man who is either
hopeful or ambitious. To save
money is to make it twice, and the
capacity OF saving money is the
whole secret Of success.

bar a chamois skin bag OF dust. from
which the barkeoper would take a pinch,
