CHARACTER BUILDING.

In pursuing the subject at the mems
meeting held at the Young Mems Chris
tian association Sunday afternoon, Gen.
eral Secretary Boyer said: II shall first
point out the means Of forming such a
character, and second, offer some con-
siderations illustrative Of it's inestim-
able value. The first step in the forma-
ton Of good character is to have a just
idea Of such character. A good name
is based on permanent excellence and is
as inevitable as virtue and truth. 1t
consists in a fair, unsullied reputation
awarded to us by the intelligent and
good on account of our good qualities
and good cnduct. In such a name we
look first of all for integrity, indepen-
dence, benevolence and piety toward
God. These are the essential properties
of that good name. A good name is the
fruit Of personal exertion; not inheri-
ted, no necessary appendange Of birth,
but the result of ones own exertions.
No young person, however, humble
their birth, obscure their condition, is
excluded from the invaluable boon.
Worthiest and best citizens have arisen
by their own persevering exertions. In
the learned professions, in every de-
partment of business, they stand forth
as, bright and animated examples Of
what can be accomplished by resolu-
ton and effort. Some start in life with
an object in view; others live without
plan. They do not task their faculties
nor improve their powers, nor attempt
to rise to superior excellence, and pass
away life without object or aim.
Determine you will be something in
the world and you will be something.
Aim at excellence and excellence will be
yours. II cannot do it" never attained
anything. II will" has wrought won-
ders. Another thing of great import
ance in forming a good character is
intercourse with people Of decided vir-
tue and excellence. Nothing more es-
sential than the choice of your company.
Your reputation is effected in the view
of the public by the company you keep.
Let every man take heed how he build
eth. The man Of true religion stands on
firm and devoted ground, his heart is
fixed and his character Established.

CARRIERS WE'RE RELEASED.
Express Company Officials Re-
lease Over 800 Pigeons
Sunday Morning.

The homing pigeons which were re-
ceived at the local Office Of the Ameri-
can Express company on Saturday,
were released Sunday morning at
promptly o'clock. The six large bas-
kes containing the pigeons were carried
into the center Of Walnut street and
twelve men were placed about the bas-
kets, and at q signal they lifted open
the coverings and the 300 pigeons sped
skyward and after circling around sew
eral times the greater portion Of them
started northeastward, in the direction
of Buffalo. Not all of the pigeons start
ed off at the same time, as O number
Of them were seen circling around over
one hour afterward. apparently lost in
their flight. The release Of the birds
caused a large crowd Of people to as
semble in that vicinity and quite q
number Of amateurs with their cameras
were noted. 1t was not more than a
few seconds until the birds were high
in the sky and swiftly soaring in va
rious directions, some times in q circle.
in order to secure the direction Of their
destination. The flight was interesting
to behold, as the birds occasionally
fiocked and then scattered in small
numbers.

STARR COUNTY DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY, NAY 20, 1900
MAY DELAY CLARK CASE. |
Although Chandler Il Expected TO Call
It Up To-day in the Senate, IL
May Go Over.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Senator Chan
dler has given notice that he will ask
the senate to take up the resolution con.
cerning the election of Senator Clark, Of
Montana, at O'Clock Monday, but it
now appears probable that the resolu-
tion may go over again.
There is no understanding that the
consideration of this resolution shall be
controlled by the course Of Senator
Clark with reference to the presenta-
tion of his credentials as senator un-
der his appointment from the governor
Of Montana, but so far disposition has
been manifested to allow them to travel
together. and it is now the understand
ing in the senate that Mr.. Clark will not
present these credentials.
II is therefore. probable that the entire
Clark matter may be indefinitely post
poned for lack Of prosecution, and that
no more may be heard Of it during the
session. II, however, Mr.. Clark should
change his mind and put in his creden-
tials, Senator Chandler would move to
refer them to the committee on privt-
leges and elections, and il this motion
should prevail an immediate effort
would be made to have the resolution
bearing upon Mr.. Clark's original cleo
ton considered.

SECURED A BIKE.
Peculiar Story Related to Police
By Robert Hogue Sunday
Morning.

Robert Hogue, residing at 200 Slusser
street, reported the theft Of abicycle
at the police station Sunday. The man
ner in which the machine was ecured is
a peculiar story. Hogue told the police
that on Friday several boys called at
his home and asked Mrs. Hogue for
the bicycle, stating that Robert had sent
them for 1t. Naturally when the ma
chine was not promptly returned FRI
day night, Hogue became alarmed and
started in search Of 1t, but failed to
learn who the parties were who got the
bike. The police have been called
upon to assist in locating the bicycle.

The conference of Prohibition Demo
Gratis which assembled in Columbia last
week suggested for Governor Col. Jas.
A. Hoyt, of Greenville, and for Lieu
tenant Governor J. L. Trihblc, ESQ.,, of
Anderson. The ticket suggested is a
good one in that both gentlemen nre
practical prOhibitionists and men of
brond mental calibre. The conference
reconsidcred its determination to nomi-
nate n candidate for Attorney General
and very wisely 80, too, for the reason
that the present incumbent, Attorney
General Bcllingcr, is man of demon
strated devotion to duty and absolutely
fearless of any clique or ring. If any
prohibition measure becomes law it
is safe to assume thatit will have fair
trial so long as Mr. Bellinger holds the
Office of eAttorney General. Since the
conference decided to suggest candi-
dates for Governor and Lieut.. Gov
ernor, we wish to compliment the
wisdom Of their selection; but we wish
there could have been q larger body of
representative Prohibitionists in the
conference that the real sentiment of
that class Of Democrats in the State
could have been expressed in reference
to this question of nominations. We
do not believe it to DO the will of O
minority of:Ethe Prohibitionists of the
State that fight be made for the office
of Governor at this election. They
have watched with n great deal of
satisfaction the independent course of
Governor McSweeney during his term
Of Office, and they realize that in him
they have an officer who will do his
full duty, and labor to tho utmost 20
enfOrce.every measure enacted into
law. They'll have that confidence in
him to believe that if the expressed
will OF the people demand q prohibi-
tory measure and the Legislature en-
acts such a law, he will not only ap-
c-cvc :. but I'll. e>soecc !. CO IS :;.:y

Where the real fight for prohibition
should be waged is in the selection Of
candidates for both branches OF the
Legislature and for Lieutenant Cover
nor, who has q vote, in case OF q tie, in
the Senate. Since the above was put
in typo, Mr.. Tribble, after mature de-
liberation and in response to his busi-
ness interests, has decided to decline
the nomination rendered him for Lieu
tenant Governor by the Prohibition
Conference. In an interview with him
he declared his loyalty to the cause of
prohibition but withal was wholly una
BILE to enter the turmoil OF political
strife. 1t will be n source of genuine
regret to his many friends that he
could not get his consent to Elnke the
race inasmuch as his acceptance Of the
nomination would be equivalent to (,
election. { e ss

fatal disease consumption. Mrs. Strick-

When the South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition was first
agitatcd in January, very few people
thought it would materializc; that IN
Exposition on large scale was too big
Job for the staid old city of Charles
ton to undertake, and it will be rcmcm-
bered that when the project received
tho endorsement of the Governor and
Legislature, and was then presented
to the people through the medium of
the press, the universal opinion was,
that it would be good thing for the
State and for Charleston, if the money
could be raised, but that the Charles
ton people would not go down in their
pockets and put up the necessary
amount. Those who held that view
have been mistaken; Charleston has
shown it's hand and the subscription
now exceeds 900, and is daily being
added to. The Exposition is projected
for the benefit of the people of the
entire State, and the projectors have
decided that wherever the people wish
to Join with them and subscribe to the
capital stock, they should have tho op-
portunity to do so. TO this end the
Executive Committee have appointed
citizens of each County on the Com
snitteo and have cent them books OF
subscription to be opened atcOnvenient
places within the County, where those
desiring to subscribe for one or more
shares of the stock, con do so. Sub
scription books nave been sent to
Messre. j. A. Brock, Anderson, and r.

The pcrsistency with which the Re
publicans in the Senate are laborng to
si,letrack the Nicaragua Canal bill
places that party on record in an unen-
viablc and vulnerable position. IL is
well known that the transcOntincntal
railroads, who furnish the sincwh of
war to the Republican campaign fund.
are fighting any isthman canal bill
with all the vigor of their nature.
During the last war these roads rcaliz-
ed an enormous government patronage
in transporting to the Pacific Coast the
armies destined for the scat of war in
castcrn waters. They are not slow to
see that our trouble in the Orient has
only fairly begun, and by delaying the
construction OF an isthminn canal, they
will have another soft snap by which
the government can be fleeced Mt their
OWL sweet pleasure. Besides, they
realize that it will mean the annual
loss of thousands of tons Of transcon-
tincntal freight in time of peace, which
they mean to retain if money, lobbying
and political tricker. and purchased
dictatiOn will accomplish it. The Re-
publicans realize the value of retaining
the good will and incidentally the
contributing enthusiasm of the rail
rOads until after the y, esent campaign,
and, in order to do so, they will make
any sacrifice Of the c0untry's interest.
There is still another phase to the
question that makes their position all
tho more questionable. A number of
Republican hangers have gone into
the Nicaragua district, along the limo
Of the proposed canal, with the idea of
speculation, taking every conceivable
concession and franchise that can be
Of benefit and value hereafter to the
United States. Tho concessions to
these sharks have not progressed suf-
ficiently to suit them, 80 that at their
instance and in their interest, action
on the pending measure must be de-
layed until such concessions shall have
been granted and all franchises per-
fected. Contributors to: and epokes-
men Of the party as they are, they will
delay such action :just as long as their
interests SO demand, and when these
adventures, specnlators and prospec-
tors get good ready for the Nicaragua
Canal, then, and not till then, will the
Republican party vote for it's cOnstruc-
tiOn.

Within the past month there have
been numerous suggestions TO The
INTELLIGENCER to call the attention of
the business men of the city to the
pressing need Of live, active Board
of Trade. 1t is not worth while to go
into an explanation OF the merits of
such business organization and co-ope-
ration, for it is conceded by all to be n
necessary requirement for industrial
growth in these days OF commercial
rivalry between cities that are alive to
their own interests. Every business
man appreciates fully the value of CO.
operation in all matters pertaining to
the city's growth. and it only remains
to call hi attention to the urgent
necessity of taking some steps at once.
Anderson is not by any means finish
ed town; there is plenty of room for
more mills, more wagon and carriage
factories, oil mills, cotton warehouses,
ice plants, coal and wood yards, to-
bacco warehouses and factories, bag
factories, bucket factories, desk factO-
rleH, BUO6 1uC tOItCcs CAOtHuS AuCtolACoS
and score of others within the range
of probabilities. There is plenty of
room, also, for other railroads, sys-
tenn of street railways and other public
c,nycyances. The Board of Trade
should be live body of active bust
ness men organized and ever on the
alert for an investor looking for n site
to locate. They should be in position
to bid for NIL the railroads that can he
anduced to enter here. They should
be given carte blanche with the city's
Interest in all surveys and rights of
way to dispose of to the best advan-
tage, reserving only the right Of for
feiture after a reasonable lapse of time.
We need another large railroad and
another large mill, and if the business
men will organize Board of Trade
and secure no other advantage to the
city than ono of these present needs, it
will be the best investment they will
have made in many years. We hope
to see the merchants, lawyers, doctors
auI a.. ttEEaaaGssIIaS1i ssIi:; aIttifi11is JOin
in one Dody with the one object OF up
building Anderson, and earnestly re-
commend to them an eaTly meeting to
complete the organization of the much
needed Board of Trade.
