BOY BATTLES.
Let the YOungster Learn to stand Up
For His Rights.

Let tne AOunRSter Learn 10 Sthuu W
For His Rights.
Have you forbidden your son to fight
under severe penalties? And have you
sent him to Il public school hampered
by this injunction? This Is the infalli-
BILE result: Either he will fight and
deny it to you, which Is far more
blameworthy than fighting. or he will.
If strictly obcdient boy, refuse to
fight or to resent imposition, and thus
gain the reputation of "milksop" or
SISSY" and his school days will be
made miserable by the injustice of this
stigma and by the indignities and an
noyances to which he will be subjected
by his mates. If you find your boy
Quarrelsome and inclined to impose
upon other and younger boys punish
him as severely as you wish. l am
fully in accord with you there, for a
Quarrelsome. tyrannical bully Is null
sance in any school; but as long as
there are schools so long will there be
Quarrelsome, tyrannical bullies, and
you and l, my dear madam, wish our
boys to take these bullies In hand and
thrash them. Now, isn't that so?
Do you suppose that Fatty was any
the worse for his fight with Fishy?
And when, in after years, Fatty be-
came one of the best football players
and cane rushers that Dartmouth col
lcge ever boasted and one Of the best
business men in New Hampshire is
there any doubt that this fight had
some influence-a slight influence, per-
haps, but still an influence-in produc-
ing this development? And do you
suppose that he was any the less a
gentleman and good citizen from
having learned to stand up for his
rights and to resent improper interfer-
ence with his affairs? Let your boy
learn TO box, to wrestle, to fence, and
so develop every muscle. l never yet
saw Il boy who knew how to box
strike with n club, n stone or dan
gcrous weapon. - Judge Henry A.
Shute in Leslie's Monthly.

!: Jack HenderSOn'S
! ~ Kite ~

When all OF Jack Hendcrson's
Fourth of July burns had healed his
father brought him home Il box kite
so big that he could hardly fly It.
Jack conn. aimed that the kite pulled
so hard that even when he did succeed
in getting it up it tired him to hold IT..
One day when Jack had the kite out
in the park and was flying it in a
strong wind he sat down on the buck
board of friend to rest awhile. and
what do YOU suppose happened: While
Jack still held the string the blackboard
began to move.
Jack sat still to see what was hap
pcning. and before he knew II the
blackboard was going at good rate.
pulled along by the kite. 1t happened
that the wind was blowing straight up
the road, and Jack had Il good ride.
OF course he tried it again. and it
was not long before all the boys
around were taking rides in this way.
They found they could tie the kite
string fast to the front of the buck
board, and this enabled them to use
both hands to steer with. They also
found that even when the wind was
not blowing exactly in the direction in
which they wanted to go they could
still make the kite pull the blackboard,
provided the difference in direction
was not too great.
Jacks big brother who is too old to
nj |. tn M
cause he goes to the high school and
studies all about geometry and phys,
les, came out to try the ride, and said
that even when the wind was forty
five degrees away from the direction in
which they wanted the blackboard TO
go they could still make the kite do the
work, and when they tried it they
found that this was so.
When they came to the end of the
ride, however, there was always trou-
bic. 1t was hard to stop.
Once they came to Il sudden stop by
running up against the curb. The
string broke, and the kite came near
being lost.
Several times they upset the buck
boitlu. Nolllt VI THESE d'fi'l'lltS HIP
pencd because it was so hard to steer
that they did not have time for any
thing else.
At last they found way to tie the
string to the front of the blackboard in
such way that 1t could be united i'll
stantly. Then when they We're near
the end of the run they would take the
string in their hands and pull it in for
some distance. Then when they came
almost to the place where they wanted
to stop they would let out some of
the string. This would make the kite
stop pulling long enough for them to
get out OF the blackboard.

A tortoise. plOdding along, was ap-
preached by II pigeon hawk, which
dropped from the ether like a bullet
and pcrched upon its shell.
"Comc; lets race" he said banter
ingly.
"On one condition." replied the tor
toise.
"Namc it,
That we make it weeks journey"
Done"
They Immediately set out. The tor
tOisc knew that if he gained the victory
never pause or turn aside; he must
strike il bee line and not permit himself
to be distracted. So he crawled along,
intent only upon one thing-rcachinS
the goal.
The hawk, on the contrary. knowing
what an easy task was before him,
made sport of the contest. lie circled
in the air. ascending into the clouds,
descending 10 earth again, sailing, soar
ing, giving himself up to the pleasures
of flying here, there, everywhere. He
visited one acquaintance after another
and had Il good laugh mt the tortoise.
Finally so much time had been wasted
that when he came within sight of the
winning post the plodding. earnest tor
toiSr had just reached the goal.
Moral.-The tortoise won the race,
but the hawk had all the fun.

OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That In Done by the Crew
Tint Never Sails


The captains authority over an ocean
liner. and equally, of course his rcspon-
sibility for her. extend only over the
time when she is crossing the sea.
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
side for the pilot assumes charge Of
her navigation as soon as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier or as soon. to be exact, as she is
within hailing distance. the captain Is
no longer in control. She is then under
the authority of the marine superin-
tendent, who is in command of the
piers and tugs and harbor front equip
mcnt of the line and who takes charge
of the docking of all vessels.
To bring a giant liner to rest at her
pier is a delicate operation. The flow
of the tide, the headway impaired by
her engines before they stop, the depth
of the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row, and if she were to ram the pier
1t would mean bad smashup. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent, by voice and hand, con-
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw
ing her she glides into her. resting place
as quietly and easily as tired child
slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically, from the moment when
the liner is made fast she is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty, and their work
is as arduous and almost as incessant
in port as at sea. But the law requires
that the crew of each vessel shall be
paid off and discharged at the end Of
every voyage. In the case Of the liner
they are again signed Immediately, but
during the period while the vessel lies
in port they are not officially connected
with her, and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot IS performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo in Leslie's
Weekly.

Grieve not the careworn heart:
The sands of life are nearly rum:
Let such in peace depart

Let no harsh tone be heard:

Without an unkind word
Speak gently to the errinG: know
They must have toiled in vain.

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Cheraw, Oct. 2O.-The Rev.
w. L. Wait of the Methodist
church, on Sunday, preached
from the text, Exodus 21, -:
"He that smiteth nan, so that
he dies, shall be surely put to
DEATH"
His sermon was in substance as
follows:
Nine months ago a sad tragedy
was enacted in the city of Colum
bla-a man was slaiu. Last
Thursday much greater tragedy
was enacted in Lexlngton-the
good name of South Carolina for
law and order was slain by jury
OF her sons in acquitting one who
had clearly been proven guilty
of shedding the blood of his fell
bowman.
Human life is our most valua-
BILE possession, and yet it is but
too lightly esteemed by us. Every
county in our State has been
stained with the blood of our fell
lowmen, violently and unlawfully
shed, but whore are the Instances
OF the conviction of respectable
white men for murder by our
courtss Only one white man has
been hanged for murder in over
40 years, and he only after he had
perpetrated several homicides and
terrorized a whole community.
Who is responsible for the
death of Mr.. Gonzales? Not
James II. Tlllman he was only
the: : weak instrument. A deprav-
ed public opinion was the real
criminal. This public opinion
stamps man as q coward if he
does not avenge his injuries,
whether real or fancied, by viol-
emily taking the life of his adver-
sary. 1t is only another and
more brutal form of the duel.
In our courts the plea of self
defense has been pressed beyond
all Legitimate limits. Under this
specl Gus plea men have been ac-
quilted of aggravated murders.
The remedy of these evils is to
be found in ths esta bllshment and
cultivation of sane, healthy pub
lie opinion that will demand the
strict enforcement of the law in
regard to taking human life.
We must cultivate a regard for
life as sacred, and frown upon
anyone who undertakes to right
his real or fancied wrongs by tax
ing the life of his felIowman.
Violations of this law should be
unerringly and severely punish
ed.
TO hang a man is terrible
punishment, but we need to in.
fiict it until men can be taught to
respect law and observe order.
