For the Lawyers.

In the incieent related below boy
twelve years old conquered smart
and shrewd lawyer fighting for q
bad cause.
Walter was the important witness,
and of the lawyers, after cross-ques-
tioning him severely, said:
sYour father has been talking to
you and telling you how to testify,
hasn't he?"
''Yes,'' said the boy.
"Now," said the lawyer, 'just tell
us how your father told you to
testify"
"Well,' said the boy, modestly,
s'father told me that the lawyers
would try and tsngle me, but if I
would just be careful and tell the
truth I could tell the same thing
every time"
The lawyer didn't try to tangle up
that boy any more" ."-Massachusetts
Ploughman.

: This is True.

'The morality of the young men
of this country is just as high as the
young women demand" was
uttered recently from city pulpit.
Every reader of these lines can testify
to the truth of this statement. If
the young men of given community
are openly Incorporate and lead dis
solute lives it is because the young
women of that community sanction,
in sense, such conduct by tolerat-
ing it. Would that the young
women would demand of young men
that purity of life that is required of
them. Until this is done there will
always exist two standards of morals.
Nothing would so restrain a young
man as to know that should he en-
gage in certain vices or questionable
pastimes his young lady friends,
whose esteem he courted, would
withdraw social fellowship from him.
The morals Of the young men of any
community, even of Edgefeld, are
largely what the young women make
them.-Edgefeld Advertiser.

has always been an independent line,
it will now have an interchange of
traffic with the other roads on a
broader basis than heretofore. Mr..
Lyles did not think the Seaboard
would do further building in South
Carolina for the present, although in
other cities it seems to b expected
that line will be built from Augusta
to Charleston. The total mileage OF
the rosd now is 2,611 miles.
The officials of the Atlantic Coast
Line are also pleased and the Colum-
bia, Newberry and Laurens people
are of the opinion that it means much
for Columbia. The Seaboard from
Atlanta and the West now connects
for Columbia over the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens railroad and
the announcement that the road from
Atlanta to .Rockmont will be COM
pleted in few months, means the
opening up of an entirely new terri
tory on direct route with Columbia.
All of this will come over the Co.
lumbia, Newberry and Lsurens and
for eastern North Carolina will 60
through over the Atlantic Coast
Line.

A Deep Thinking old Lady.

Eff some gals could put the same
Dublin enthusiasm into rubin
clothes over waehboard that they
kin into dancin' all night they'd be
sightless tired mothers round the
end o wash day.
An eff some boys could feel it was
in EN- to strain as hard TO make the
old farm pay as they strain for six
dollars week an little hall bed
room in one o the big cities, the
lawyers d have a sight less work
foreclosin' mortgages.
Eff some O the people that pray the
hardest and sing the loudest in
church do seem little bit worldly in
their dealin's durin' the week, most
likely it's because they use up their
whole sevendsys' supply O Christian
ity on Sunday.
Seems to me, bringin' up children
is good deal like firm one O the
old-fssbioned shot-guns; eff you don't
keep a good, firm grip on 'em, they're
dreadful likely to kick back in SUI
prism and painful manner.
Eff the average man spent as little
time thinkin' about layin' up riches
on earth as he does about layin' up
riches in heaven, there would be no
end O. spendin' morey flying about
among the women folks.
Mebbe ef some women tried as
hard to make their talk to their hus-
bands as soft and sweet as they do
their preserves, there'd be few jars
and I don't mean preserve jars
neither.
Eff everybody that tells all about
the fine things they did last year, and
intend to do next year was doin' the
same sort O. things this year, they'd
never have a minute to spend talkin'
and tellin' US about 'em.

A Dozen Don'ts.

Don't forget to cultivate character
in your anxiety to make reputation.
Don't forget that the place in So
eiety that money buys is not worth
the price.
Don't depend on luck until you are
willing to have the world know you
are short on pluck.
Don't imagine that because the
world owes you living it will hurt
you to pap up the bill.
Don't forget shat people have a
habit of taking men at their actual
value in utter disregard of the pros
pectus.
Don't fail to profit by the example
of Peter. He fishes all night and
next morning cheerfully admitted
that he did not get bite.
Don't tell people that you care
nothing for what the world thinks
about you. They recognize that
your saying SO proves what you Co.
Don't let your children read the
love letters you wrote in your youth
if you want them to keep on belie7-
ing that you are made out OF supe-
rior clay.
; Don't forget that the man who is
an expert at selling nothing for some
thing is quite capable of taking care
of the men who are always looking
fer an opportunity to acquire some
thing for nothing.
Don't waste time in listening to the
advice of those who never follow the
advice they give, for example is
better than precept, and the man
who gives nothing but advice is not
entitled to reputation as q philan-
thropist. Most advice is cheap,
which explains why it is worthless.

For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine 50 valuable as
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It cures diseases Of the stomach and
other organs OF digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs When the stomach is "weak"
there is failure to properly digest and
assi1nilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as consequence of vweak" stom-
ach, there may be vweak lungs, "weak"
heart, rwesk" or torpid liver, "weak"
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, uGolden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation Of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. 1t increases'the ac-
tivity Of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the " Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, CO.

suffering from disease in its chronic form

YOST WILL BE BACK
WITH MICHIGAN
Famous Coach Believes He viii Be With
Wolverines Again.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9-"No I will
not be with Missouri next year." said
Coach Yost of the University of Michi-
gan football team, yesterday. "There
have been rumors placing me with about
every college team in the West during
the last few weeks, but l think l shall
probably drift back to Michigan again
next fall"
1t has been rumored that Yost is here
to secure players for the Michigan team
next year. The man mentioned in this
VINO attained a reputation on the Ne
braska team for playing. He did not play
with the Corn HUSkerS this season, but
cached the Lincoln medical college foot
ball team.
1t is stated that Capt. Westover. who
has played his four years at Nebraska is
eligible to MichiganS team because he
mas had no experience on a conference
team. If he is among the recruits Sc
cured it is likely that many protests will
be led against Michigan by other confer
ence teams next season.
Asked how he viewed the report that
mass plays would be eliminated from the
game next season. Coach Yost said
AS to mass plays I do not see how
they can be done away with and still have
football. And as to injuries, take your
own observations. Where have you seen
men injured? Seldom, 1 think in the
mass plays. The most dangerous injuries
are always made on the open field and
usually they are the result of an unscien-
tific tackle or a blunder, such as two men
running together. In my experience as
coach cannot now recall a single in
stance of permanent or serious injury
from mass play. 1t has always been in
the open field"
