The Man and His Appendix.

Some people have about made up
their minds to defend their appen-
dices as they would their hearth
stone against the scientific hunter
A distinguished gentleman had an
operation performed, in distant city,
and, after convalescence, wrote a
friend in Augusta: 81 have the
advantage of you. have my
appendix in bottle, on my mantle
piece, and can view it at leisure, as
an enemy put to rest" His friend
replied: 81 congratulate you on your
recovery. You may complacently
inspect your appendix as foe dis
placed, but | congratulate myself on
having my appendix where God put it,
and expect to maintain it there
in friendly agreement" Perhaps
the latter gentleman might change
his mind, if there was the char
acteristic rebellion in his interior,
but he will bear many an attack OF
old fashioned cholera morbus before
he permits the medical sportsman to
bag his appendix, in or out of season.

Rural Delivery all Right.

The Post Office Department has made
public the following: There seems to be
wide misunderstanding as to the pres,
ent attitude of the department regard.
ing rural free delivery The statement
has been published quito generally par
ticularly in the West that rural routes
that do not handle 5000 pieces of mail
per month and supply 100 families are
to be discontinued. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the department to disturb routes
already established, unless they are mani
testify unnecessary, but as long as all
the routes that are asked for cannot be
established, because of the lack of suffi-
cicnt money, the routes that will supply
the greatest number Of families should
certainly have preference.

More Than a Salary to Earn.

A boy or man who works simply
for his salary, and is actuated by no
higher motive, is dishonest and the
one whom he most defrauds is him
self. He is cheating himself in the
quality of his daily work, of that
which all the after years, try rs he
may, can never give him back. If l
W allowed but one utterance on
It's subject, 80 vital to every young
man starting on the journey of life,
l would say: "Don't think too
much of the salary your EN- ,loyer
gives you at the start. Think rather
of the possible salary you can
give yourself, in increasing your
skill, in expanding your experience,
in enlarging and ennobling yourself"
A mans or boys work is material
with which to build character and
manhood. 1t is life's school for
practical training of the faculties,
stretching the mind, and strengthen
ing and developing the intellect, not
a mere mill for grinding out salary
of dollars and cents.-Success.

National Aid 10 State Roads.

The Washington Post has always
held that the duty of road building
attaches solely to the communities
Immediately concerned. The argu.
ment is put forth that no State, no
county, no neighborhood possesses
an inherent right to good roads. 1t
is question of preference, of intel.
gence, of opportunity. 1t has been
claimed that people have exactly tho
kind of road they deserve-just that F;
no more, no less. If they be wise if
they want to elevate themselves in
the social scale to make the vicinity
attractive; to add to the profits Of
their labor; to increase the value of
their possessions, they build good
roads. Otherwise, they separate
themselves from civilization by bar.
riers of mud and rock, and get exactly
the environment of stagnation and
decadence they prefer.
1t is idle to discuss the value of
good roads or the blight of bad ones.
Rural communities that understand
these things may be depended upon
to take care of themselves and rural
communities that are satisfied with
bad roads are not worth considering.
The former do not need the help of
the Federal government. The latter
do not deserve it.
In the building of good roads lies
the solution of the convict problem.
The convict we have always with
us-utilize him in the construction
of roadways. Don't coop him up in
shops or put him out to spectators
Put him on the highways. Then he
will not come in competition with
the honest laborer in the shop OF
field.
If you want good country roads
build them like Greenyille county il
doing. 1t is idle, foolish and unrea
sonable to wait on or hope for Fedora
aid.-Greenviie Herald.

Why the Ham Is Too Salty.

We are having many complaints
about the unusual saltiness of ham,
bacon and canned goods this sum
mer," said local butcher who does
large family trade. "I suppose it
is the same everywhere else. Stand
ard goods that we have been able to
recommend for years are salt as
brine now. The packing houses tell
us that it is because they are no
longer permitted to use the preserv-
atives that got such a raking over
the Goals after the Spanish war.
They simply must pile on the salt or
their ham and bacon won't keep.
The packers will be obliged to find
some way out of the difficulty, or
they will have to go out of business
altogether. In the trade we are no.
ticing the falling off in orders from
hotels and restaurants. No man
wants rasher of bacon or a slice of
ham for breakfast if it is going to
send him round with raging thirst
all day" ."-Philadelphia Ledger.

Midsummer "Southern Field"

Very appropriately, the Southern
Field" in it's midsummer Issue, admon-
ishes it's Northern readers to "go South
for the summer" thus submitting geo.
graphical amendment to a woll-known
admonition. SO many Northern people
have built "winter" homes for them
selves which have since been devoted to
summer home purposes that the Field
does not lack support for the assertion
that the summer is the best of all sea-
sons for Northern and Western people,
whether tourists or prospectors, to visit
the Southern country. High attitudes,
fresh brcezes from the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf of Mexico, and other equal
izing factors make the South equally
desirable as place of winter and sum-
mer residence. The Field, as usual,
devotes IA large amount of space to point
ing out the agricultural and business

try tributary to the Southern Railway

rlllmsa Talks at slshopsllIe.

A large crowd gathered at BishopvilIe
last Friday to hear Senator, Tillman. He
was accompanied by Congressman Lever,

and deplored the present impotency of
his branch Of Congress. He is very,
popular here, as much 80 as In his own.
county, and was very we'll received.
Politicians had better keep their eyes on
him, for he is a sea degree politician
and thoroughly understands how to
retain popular favor.
"Old Ben," as his followers love TO
call him, was in fino feather and certainly
opened the spigot. He told of the trou-
bles of his first campaign and of the hard
feeling prevailing at the meetings and
how glad he was to see 80 many ladies
present. He deploreS the spending of
money in state politics ard declared his
elections had never cost him {. dollar.
He branched off to national issues, and
| in answer to question of how about
Cleveland, expressed wish to jab his
pitchfork into that portly person and
commenced one of his bitterest attacks
| on the ex-Presideut, who, he said, had
wrecked the Democratic party until the
masses of the people North had become
afraid of it and the Republicans were
continually drawing attention to the full
dinner pail of their administration in the
contrast to the empty one of Democratic
| times.
In an attack on Roosevelt for stirring
up race strife, he said that If the people
| of Charleston had recommended Crum
for any office, they had got their deserts
He told of tho efforts to get the South
Carolina claim, arising from tho war of
1872, and of his tiff with tho watch dog
of the treasury, whom he had brought
to terms by threatening to read Bryon's
poems and Milton's Paradise Lost
He talked of the large preponderance
of blacks III somo of our counties and of
the dread of negro domination, which
could only be removed by repeal of the
18th amendment. This might be the
next issue for Democracy to fight on, as
sentiment North is veering round that
| way and if they tried to cut down our
representation he would draw attention
to the large ignorant foreign vote from
Latin Europe which threatened tho worry
| life of our nation. America for the
| Americans should be the watchword.
The North loved the negro in pro-
portion to the distance between them,
| but they must be hands off in our struggle
in our own house, for all hell would not
prevent us from lyncbing negroes so
long as they raped our white women.
This brought forth long burst OF
applause, with cries of "Hurrah foI
Tillman.'
Ho spoke of the influence that charac-
ter and long service gave n Senator,
dwelling at length on the long service of
Vest, Hoar and Morrill, and Of the life
long friendships formed. He warned his
hearers that this was not bid for con-
tinuance in office, as he would not serve
a minute if not acceptable to the people.

A Candidate for Lynching.

MOntovideo, Mimi, July 18-Helen

of Tom Olson, was assaulted early this
morning by man supposed to be negro,
and, although alive at noon, she will die.
Early to-day Miss Olson and girl friend
stopping with her, were awakened by a
man who demanded their valuables lie
then dragged Miss Olson downstairs,
where he struck her on the forehead
with an axe or hatchet. Her girl friend
had been ordered to remain in bed and
not move, but on hearing n noise down
stairs, she stepped out of a window to
the roof. The intruder fred a shot at
her as he fled. Her screams aroused the
ncighbors, and search was at once be-
gun for the murderer. There is great
excitement and fears are expressed that
the man will be lynched.
