 Gentlemen:-I am travelling salesman for Pringie Brothers, of Charleston, S. C., and am on the road continually. About . year ago somo urinary trouble made itB appearance. consulted 6 physician h nearly every town All of them gave me treatment, but to no avail. I could not retain my urine at all The desire to urinate was continual. When drank water, coffee or any liquid immediately I would be compelled to ur1nate. The strain was terrible on my system. passed a kind of black blood with the urine. Finally Mir, D. A. McPherson, . banker of Crthbert, Ga,, advised me to use swamp-Root, At first was Ioat& to try it; but finally, in paroxysm of pain after a vain attempt to urinate. took one dose. The effect was electrical h. sta antly the straining desire was eased.s [ took perhaps c half dozen bottles and was cured completely in about month. Had taken 1t sooner, of course. wgulH have been relieved quicker. but ik had taken such e hold on me that it tooaz some time.

WORKING FOR THE HIRE.

During the course of an address be-
fore a number of students recently.
Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, said: III you take my ad-
vice, you will never work for hire. If
you work for hire you will never rise.
If you work for hire life will have lit
tie else for you but drudgery, and
eight hours per day--ten hours per day,
at the most-is all that you can stand
and keep your health. But if you
work for the accomplishment of the
thing you are employed to do, you can
work sixteen or eighteen hours a day,
and life will be full or sunshine and
song. God implanted in the human
mind the desire to do things"
There could be no more sound and
excellent advice. BY working for hire"
Mr.. Shaw meant the making OF the
amount of money received from the
employer the sole object of the worker.
The person who works for hire" and
nothing else is continually watching
the clock for quitting time. and cud-
ceiling his brain for a means or skip

workers in the sweat shop" tenements
Of the cities of that state. 1t seems
that since the new tenement house law
of New York went into effect there
has been a movement of the sweat
shop" workers to the New Jersey
cities. Mr.. Allen says many Of these
workers live, work and die in rooms
in which the light of day never enters,
and that children that are hardly old
enough to talk are kept employed in
these rooms steadily from early morn
ing until late at night. The air is
foul and the food these people have
is bad. In the midst of sickness and
death the work goes right along, be-
cause it requires the most constant
labor to earn enough to keep body and
soul together.
Why is it that the Northern philan-
thropists do not take an interest in
the children in these sweat shop"
tenements? Why not remedy evils at
home before doing missionary work
elsewhere? Strange as it may seem
these toilers in the sweat shop ten
ments do not complain. The reason
is that they are foreigners, and their
condition is so much better than it
was in the old country that they see
nothing Of which to complain. They
are satisfied. What must have been
their condition in their native land

Not Alike.

One of the latest stories of the
strange reasoning of negroes comes
from J. H. Stoddard, the veteran ac-
tor, and is of an incident he witnessed
in Louisiana, on a recent tour through
that part of the country, says an ex-
change.
Il had an afternoon lay-off in this
Louisiana town." said the actor, land
with nothing to do, roamed about the
place. Finally 1 got to the Court
House and went in. A negro trial
was on, and a typical old darby was
one of the witnesses. He was fixing
the time of the occurrence of the
trouble, and said it was $3.50 in the
afternoon.
How do you know it was 1902
demanded the lawyer for the other
side
Why, II know it was $3.50 by
my watch. I knowed it," stammered
the darby
Can you tell time demanded the
lawyer.
Sure can tell time answered the
witness.
What time is it now?" demanded
the lawyer pointing to the clock.
The darby studied the clock for a
minute. Then he said he did not know
what time it was.
.Bpt l thought you could tell time
said the lawyer with anger.
Well, l can tell. time, boss. by nv
watch said the darby, but I can't
tell no time by no Clock"

For Sale-The R. and P. farms on
the line between Woodland and Wash
burn, where you can dodge the con-
stable of either town. Good air and
fine spruce scenery. Good society, two
languages spoken and broken. Two
houses so that when one commences
to tumble you can move into t'other.
Barn big enough to hold crop if you
are careful not to raise too much. Also
a lean to" or hen preserve. The
farms will raise anything. Sixty acres
of land, improbably more and likely
somewhat less. There isn't potato
bug on the place. There is high land
where the potato fruit will luxuriate
in exuberate fertility; low land for
pasture where the gentle heifer can
refresh herself from the limpid depths
of dead water; wood land whose
sturdy trunks will yield light and
warmth to the domestic hearth. A
perennial spring of Adams ale near
the front mansion. And in the open
ing spring the feathered songsters of
the grove make the air vocal with their
melody Air and songsters go with
the place, likewise the remainder of the
grove and the aforesaid limpid wa
ter. Society, scenery and a gilt edge
chrome thrown in. Store, school house
and starch factory within a reason
able distance. Only the church is
lacking. You will have to go to Wash
burn or come to the model town of
Caribou if you want to get religion.
Both farms for 800. Only a modicum
of cash required, balance in promises
long drawn out.

Christmas Thoughts.

The Lawtonville. Ca, correspondent
of the Waynesville (Ga-) True Citi-
zen writes as follows:
Christmas is fast approaching
and very few prepared for it.
There is a charm in the very season
of this part of the year. 1t is not
at this time of the year that we de-
eide our pleasure from the beauties
of nature. We don't behold the sing
ing of the flowers as we do in spring
and summer, but around the festivi-
ties of Xmas hovers a great charm
for some, most especially the child
rem. They expect to greet Santa Claus
in all his splendor for they expect him
to bring joy and gladness to them. AT
this time of the year our thoughts
are more concentrated. 1t brings to-
gether friends and relatives that, per-
haps, have been separated for years,
and our friendly sympathies are more
aroused and we draw our pleasures
from the deep of loving kindness
which, perhaps, is not felt at any other
season. Not the mantle of Xmas
charity is more conducive to comfort
them-a fur-lined circular. 1t is not
the largest stockings that catch the
most valuable Xmas gifts"
The Savannah morning news., 1903-12-27

1t is no doubt a subject of wonder to
many why these Northern philanthro-
pists who are so active in calling at
tention to child labor in Southern cot
ton mills fail to see much worse evils
in the sweat shop" districts Of the
Northern cities. We do not mean TO
say that they ought not to criticse
the child labor evil in the South, but
II would be interesting TO know why it
is that they find so much satisfaction
in critlcising evils IN the South that
are open 20 criticism and fail 10 see
the greater evils that exist IN their
own section.

his wages. Such a worker-and his
name is legion, for he is many-won-
ders at the fate that holds him down
while Others of his fellows are steadily
advancing. He blames everything but
the right one, himself, for his lack of
progress.
The most successful men are those
who work, not for their hire, but for
the purpose of achieving something.
They are interested in their labors, and
take a delight in seeing results grow
under their hands. They do not watch
the clock, but the effects of their work.
Probably the highest degree of salts
faction that can be hoped for in this
world is to be had from the conscious
ness of having worked well and to
some purpose. To receive pay for
working is, of course, highly desira-
Bile, as the worker must have his hire
in order to live. But the successful
worker, the most satisfied one and the
one who advances to success, is he
who looks to accomplishment rather
than mere hire.

The most amusing incident we have
heard is that of the countryman who.
while sauntering along a city street,
saw a sign:

After rejecting a few minutes. he
walked up and gave the bell such a
pull that it nearly came out by the
roots. In a few moments an angry
faced man opened the door.
Are you the caretaker?" asked the
bell puller.

Is there to be no limit to the au-
tomobilist's ambition for more power
and more speed in his car? Barney
Oldheld's eighty-horse power racer
has been regarded as a monster of
power for a racing machine, but it
is to be far eclipsed by a car that
is being built in France for an Amer
lean of the name of LaRoche. This
machine is to have two sets of quad
ripple engines, one over each axle,
that will develop together $50 horse
power-enough to drive a sawmill or
small cotton factory. All of this
power is to be applied to driving a
car weighing less than 5000 pounds
around or along a track, for the pur-
pose of clipping a few seconds off the
record. The designer of the apparatus
promises that it will go a measured
mile in forty seconds or less. The
cost will be about as much as that
