greater property loss than was first
supposed. 1t is claimed that the ag-
gregate loss, including crops, is not
less than $17,OOO,OOO. If to this we
add the losses in Missouri, Georgia,
and South Carolina, the figures are
enormous. Fortunately, however, the
loss of life, though great, is much
less than was reported at first.

A Business Mans Advice to Young
Men.
Men.

be dlI1gent In business ana InOu
shalt stand before kings, thou shalt
not stand before mean men,"
The youth of this country have
vast possibilities before them, and
especially the young nan who has
been raised to work and been instill-
cd with honest principles, industry
and love of good literature. Sup
pose the merchant wants to. select
q partner from among his clerks;
If all his several clerks are industri-
Gus, honest and honorable men, if
there is one in addition to these
above qualities who reads the com
mercial journals and thus knows
some theory along with his practice,
every thing else being equal, he
would choose the man who had both
practice and theory; and the same
rule will hold in farming, railroad
ing, mining, or any other calling in
life.
7 travel more or less in North and
South Carolina, and meeting people
I can tell from talking with them
whether they read, and what charac-
ter of books and papers they read
without asking them. Or if a man
would tell me the literature he
read, I would know where to place
him morally, intellectuaIly-and I
had almost said, industrially.
Tt grieves me to see young men
from seventeen to t~wenty-one, of
good common sense and moral par
Ontage, with almost no education,
when it is so easy to get an educa-
ton. Much cheaper and more easily
obtained than at any age since u
Grandfather Adam lived. News
papers, magazines and books are
cheaper. Think of it; we have six
thousand years more experience than
Grandfather Adam had, and the man
who has read history should profit
largely by the experience of u an
cestors from then until now.
The improved machinery we have
now enables man to work to more
advantage. The farmer must use
the best and most improved tools.
His boy must be reared to work wise
ly; so he must learn to adapt the
best means to the best ends, and if
so, he must not only know how, but
have up-to-date methods and tools
and use them almost necessarily.
People must educate their children
whether they want to or not. You
don't want your neighbors' children
to be head and shoulders above yours
in the way of making a living or in
intelligence.
When I say education, I mean to
give them a common English educa-
ton, say spelling, reading, writing
and arithmetic, and as many more
of the common branches of English
as you can, but be sure to give them
the four studies named, and that
will give them at least the sembIance
of a key to unlock knowledge. Ten
