ON BEING A
BOSS
If You Sit on High Place. Don't
Gaze at the Clouds
From "Lettor3 From !Scif Made Mtr-
chant 10 His SON" by George
Horace LOrimcr

Consider carefully before yoti- say a
Gard word to Il man, but never let n
chance To say good one go by. Praise
judiviously bestowed Is money invest
ed.
Never learn anything about your
mCn except from themselves. A good
manager needs no detectives, and the
fellow who can't read human nature
can't manage it, The photograph rec
ords of II fellows character are lined
in his face, and Il mans days tell the
secrets of his nights.
Bc slow To hire ana quick to fire. Tho
time TO discover inconpatihility of tenn
per and curl papers Is before the mar
riagc ceremony. But when you find
that you've hired the wrong man you
can't get rid of him too quick Pay him
an extra month, but don't let him stay
another day. A discharged clerk In tho
office is like Il splinter in the thumb-a
center of soreness.
Never threaten, because threat is q
promise to pay That 1t isn't always con-
venicnt to meet, but If you don't make
1t good 1T hurts your credit. Save q
threat till you're ready to act, and then
you won't need 1t. In all your dealings
remember that today is your opportu-
nifty; tomorrow some other fellows.
Keep close to your men. When Il fell
lows sitting OH top of Il mountain he's
in mighty dignilicd and exalted posi-
ton, but If he's gazing at the clouds
hos missing heap Of interesting and
important doings down I'm the valley.

tie ii up i'm all the rcd tape YOU can find
around the Office and tuck 1t away In
the safe.
It's easy for boss TO awe his clerks,
but man who Is feared to his face IL
hated behind his back. a competept
boss can move among his men without
having TO draw an imaginary line be-
tween Them. because they VIII see the
real one IL ii exists.
Besides Keeping I'm touch with your

Senator Later Arrived in Chicago

A special to the News and Courier
says:
CHICAGO, August, 6.-United States
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, is
lost somewhere between Kansas City
and Chicago. He was booked for
apartments at the Auditorium and a
number OF politicians gathered there
Tor conference are auxiously await
ing his coming. He is reported to
have been elected from train for
having neither transportation or cash,
and as far as can be learned from rail
road officials. he is either at way sta
tion awaiting remittance or walking
the ties
Senator Tillman is said to have found =,
when asked on the train for his ticket,
that his pockets had besn picked and
that he had nothing on his person to
identify him to the conductor. The
trainman telegraphed here for in
structons, but the Chicago officials
had no means Of determining whether
the passenger was an impostor and in
structcd the conductor to use his iud G.
ment. The train has since reached
Chicago, and the conductor has van.
ished, but Senator Tillmau has failed
to appear at either the Auditorium or
any other hotel.
The belief among Chicago railroad
and hct.l men is that he was elected
from the train and is stranded. Tele-
grams along the line fail to locate
him.
AT midnight prominent railroad Of
ficials are in session sending kilograms
broadcast making inquiries for Sana-
tor Tillman. One of them expressed
the fear that Tillman would bring ac-
tion for damages.
The Senator later arrived safely in
Chicago: none the worse for his adven-
ture.

AT LAST.
Work Commenced at Crossing on Main
Street.

1t may interest the public to know
that the Columbia, Nowberry and
Laurens Railway has actually begun
work on the overhead crossing near
the park on East Main Street. This is
the narrow crossing so often referred
to by the grand jury. 1t will be made
30 feet wide in the clear. The trestle
work will be of steel instead OF wood as
at present. This long much needed i'm
