a Girrs Best Counselor Is Her Fathe,

"A Girls Best Counselor Is Her Father.
Trust your fathers Judgment OF

at first writes Helen Watterson
Moody to girls, in the December La
dies Home Journal. "The gay, witty,
responsive young man who will prob
ably most attract you, will not be the
one who will be likely to have his Sc
ricus consideration and respect. Talk
over your men friends with your ia
Their, and see what healthy unemo-
tional, sane man standards he will
set up for you. I really think if a girl
could have but one counselor in her
love affairs. it would better be her
father than anyone else. A mans
mind is great tonic to the somewhat
diluted intellect of a girl in her first
sentimental experiences.''

Pardoned by the Governor.

The Governor is exercising the pardoning
power with a free hand. In nearly all the
notices Of the pardons 1t is said that the pri'
soners are dying of consumption, or words TO
that effect. But people at home say that
these pardoned convicts refuse to die accord
ing TO appointment, after getting home.
Whether they die or live after getting home
is immaterial If they are suffering win
consumption they should not be pardoneo'
any more than patient suffering with small.
pox, should be sent from the pest house TO
die a. home. In either case an Injustice ls
done to an innocent public. consumptiVe
has no more right to spread his infection than
has a smallpox patient.
II the statements as to the number OF con-
sumptive cases are approximately correct. 1t
occurs to us that somebody may be derelict
in his duty. Why are not the cells which
consumptives leave fuinigated before putting
other men In the death trap? With proper
care on the part OF prison authorities 1t seems
TO us, there is no necessity for the great num-
ber of the cases Of consumption which are
constantly reported in the newspapers.
Another matter. II our memory is not at
fault, the Governor sometimes adds his
opinion that the convict "has been sufficient
ly punished" or words to that effect. We
submit that the Governor should seldom par
don anybody for such q reason. 1t seems to
us that If he grants pardon, he ought usually
to do so, in Difference to the recommendation
OF the jury, the solicitor or the judge, who
tried the case, though Of course there may be
occasions when he might act on his own &C
count.
In making this criticism, we mean no re.
Election on Governor McSweeney, who has
given US as good q Governor as South Caro-
lima ever had, and no man is prouder OF his
record than is the Press and Banner who
stands to the printer-governor forever.

"Hitch Your Wagon TO n Star"

That is, have high ideal in all your
work. and continually be working to-
wards it. You may not attain to your
ideal, but you will be better farmer,
a better man and o better citizen if
YOU are always striving towards i'm
provement. Improvement in stock
and the buildings for their comfort,
improvements in seed and crops, and
of course, Improvement in the land
itself and in all their processes needed
for the cultivation of the soil. The
season is near at hand when the farm
er will have an opportunity to review
the season just past and note wherein
he has failed, to study his successes
and the methods that led to them, and
can thus be in better condition to
plan for the future season. Plan to
have more of the successes and fewer
of the failures. If the season has
taught you the reason for your not
getting better results with a certain
crop, do not let the lesson be lost.
If every farmer could keep brief
notes of every days operations on the
farm in brief and compact shape, be
would have at the close of the season
a mass of hints for the future. II is
the men who plan most in advance
who make the greatest successes, and
are never behindhand. Determine
now that during the winter you will
study more than ever, and that you
will use less guesswork in your farm
ing. There is nothing like reducing
ali YOUR business to writing, and to
measure and weigh everything. If
YOU do not know the exact content of
every one of your fields. measure them
accurately when you have leisure:
Drill measure in seeding wheat and
thresher measure in storing the crop
do not give you an accurate knowledge
of the size of your fields or the number
of bushels you can sell of the crop.
Study the feeding of your animals
and prepare rations that are best adap-
ted to the needs of each, and try to
compound the rations with some de-
gree of accuracy. Weigh your milk and
do not credit COW with lot of foam
and call it quarts of milk. Test
the weigh the milk Of each cow,
and see whether that COW is paying
for her feed. Put high ideal before
YOU for the cows to come up to as we'll
as for every other animal kept. and all
that are not approaching the ideal get
rid of as soon as possible. Set a high
ideal on the farm hands and treat
those we'll who try to come up to your
ideal of what a farm hand should be:
The man who comes up to your ideal
ia worth far better pay than the com,
mon run of them. In word, weed
out inferiority on the farm ana take
the best care of the developing ones
from the farm hand down to the pig.

The News and Courier's Washington cor
respondent on Thursday had 2-column
write-up OF Congressman Latlmer, giving
him boost for McLaurin' s place. Either he
IS Charleston's favorlte or he is paying Tor
space-perhaps both.-Newberry Observer.
We see no reason why the News and Cour-
Ter should not publish a 2-column write-up OF
Latimer, or anybody else. The expense
of the publication should be decided by the
parties. Such publications necessarily cost
somebody something. The cost should fall
on the man who is most interested. If Lati
mer was more interested than the News and
Courier then he should pay. II not, then the
News and Courier should pay.
Except in cases like that OF the News and
Courier, and a publication by the Atlanta
Constitution, Mr.. Latimer is very economical.
While The publication Of fattering notices
which were prepared by him, or at his In.
stance, would be grateful to Mr.. Latimer he
was not willing to pay the expense In
some OF the country papers year or two ago,
but other newspapers, we believe. did pub
lish them at their own expense.
We do not know what arrangement was
made with the News and Courier. Neither
do we know what amount Mr.. Latimer PAID
the Atlanta Constitution. But If he sent as
many copies to other counties as were sent to
Abbevile, he certainly paid good bill, While
the transient rate Of postage seems TO have
been evaded. Mr.. Latimer could not send these
papers to Abbeville, (three mall bags full,
estimated at twelve hundred copies,) without
the payment OF one cent on each copy.
Whether The Atlanta Constitution had the
right to mall Mr.. Latimer's papers with the
papers to the regular subscribers TO that
paper without attaching the one-cent stamp
Oh each Is a matter between the publisher and
the post Office department.
This newspaper expects to make proper
charges for personal notices. and 1t is per-
fectly right that they should be paid for. If
we advertise store, a machine shop, rail-
road, or other enterprises, we charge for II.
If any politician Is more interested than we
are In having puffs of himself published, he
must stand the expense. We don't Intend TO
be imposed upon in this matter.
1t is said that Mark Hanna said. when he
wanted anything, he paid for 1t. That IL the
proper way for self.respecting politicians to
do. We do not expect to "deadhead' that
kind Of business, any more than We would
"deadhead" the sale OF stock of goods. 1t Is
lust as honorable and just as honest for a
politician to pay for the publication OF his
speech as 1t is for him to deliver It,

What the Red Azalea Said.

It seemed to her that she had never
received 80 many flowers at Easter time.
There were Easter lilies, cluster or
two Of violets, lilies Of the valley, and
all manner Of flowers breathing Easter
messages. There was even a red azalea,
which had been sent by the young man
who was always doing something original
and thought that all ideas Of the proprie-
ties would die with him.
"Azalcaw said the girl, looking at the
glaring redness wrapped up in a bent
cylinder Of pink tissue paper. II wonder
whatever possessed him to send that"
"What are you going to do with all
those fowers| asked the girls aunt,
who was interested in charities. "Don't
you think it'll be a splendid scheme to
send them to the flower mission|
"Well." replied the girl, 81 don't know
but that it would. How would it do to
send the azalea first of all. I suppose
that as matter Of fact l ought to place
it in the parlor window on stand and
loop up the curtains on either side"
'I'm afraid" sighed the elderly wo-
man, who had little time to think about
herself. that you are rather hypercrit-
ical."
There was a spot where the red azalea
bush, with its covering of pink, brought
JOY and sunshine. 1t was in the place
where physicians move from cot to cot,
and the jangle Of the ambulance bell was
heard every few minutes in the street
below. 1t was not often that flowers
came into that room to speak to those
whose heads were lying upon the white
pillows. Yet there was message which
the red azalea brought to many. do
not remember that in the language of
flowers the azalea means anything at
all. In a sheaf Of pink tissue paper,
with q red ribbon bound around it, there
is little Of eloqucnce. Yet in that hospi-
tai ward the red azalea was not dumb

Colorinr Enster EREs.

Easter eggs can be colored with aniline
dye. 1t should be diluted to the proper
shade and the eggs boiled in it. Green,
the color of hope and resurrection, is par
ticularly appropriate, but q variety is
pleasing-red, pink, blue, pale yellow and
purple. Eggs can be boiled hard and
painted in water colors with a single
spring flower, rs primrose or butter
fly, also a symbol Of the resurrection.
They should be arranged in nests of
moss. German children believe that the
Easter eggs are laid by hares, so repre-
sentations Of this little animal are often
placed on them, or near them. Painted
butterflies, mounted on wire, can be
made to hover over the nest.

the gravy cook away. Take the fillets.
drain them, cover with soft butter and
dredge lightly with flour. Broil till light
brown. Boil the caulitlower and place it
in the center Of a platter and place the
chicken breasts about it and then small
link sausages, fried. Over the caulifower

sauce made of the stock in which they
were cooked. Skim all the fat from it

Cuba Will Accept Conditions.

1t now looks as if the Cubans will accept
the terms laid down by the American Con.
gress. This is well, and must be gratifying
TO peace loving people.
But the Cubans are asking that they be
treated justly In the matter OF commercial
relations, whereby trade between the island
and the States. may be promoted. The Gov
ernment at Washington should remove all
tariff duties on goods from the island, and
the island should in like manner encourage
trade with the United States. We believe
that trade with Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands should be as free as the
trade between other parts OF the United
States.
