his opportunities, told OF certain
neighbour Of his, man that had had
but the most meagre opportunities.
This neighbor had started in great
poverty and with almost every pos
sible drawback under which ore could
start life. BY hard work, By frugal
ity, by strict adherence to principles
OF honesty this man had risen in the
community to be well.to-do. He was
respected by every one in the com

troll over my temper. Observing him,

LEARNING FROM OTHERS.

AS one grows older experience |
teaches that no man is to be despised, |
however lowly may be his estate.
The observant mind learns lessons
from all those with whom it comes in
contact, whatever may be their gifts.
Some time ago man was trying to
tit up stove-pipe. The joint Of pip
ing just would not 60 into the elbow.
For more than an hour the man kept
steadily at it. About the time he
had lost all patience another man
put his head in the door to see what
was going on. Said the troubled
man to the new arrival: "Can YOU
put this joint Of stove pipe into this
elbow?" 81 think l can" said the
man. He came in, made one or two
unsuccessful attempts to get the
joint fixed. Reaching over into the
corner Of the room he took hold of
broom. Placing the handle down in
the open pipe some fourteen inches,
he moved it around, constantly press.
ing outward. The rest of the Job was
easy, for the mouth of the piping
being thus distended readily admit
ted the elbow.
A gentleman said to another

every body. I've got negro work

So it goes. II one is willing to learn,
he may be instructed by even those
in lowly places. One OF the chief
hinderances in the way Of some peo-
pie in the matter Of accumulating
knowledge is just here. They are so
sure that others can teach them

pie about them, that they fail to get

THE PROVINCE OF
THE NEWSPAPER.

Just what the Legitimate newspaper
work is, would be hard matter to
settle to the satisfaction of every one.
Just how far paper would have to
go in the exercise Of it's freedom be-
fore it would be guilty Of license, is
difficult to determine. Que thing
would seem certain to any fair mind
it is not the right of a newspaper to
publish everything that may be
known about every body on every oc-
casion. In other words, it is not the
business of the newspaper to retail
the prive and personal affairs of indi-
viduaIs, except when the individual
in question is willing to "taIk for
publication" this would certainly
be true in cases where by impudent
impertinence and inquisitiveness a
reporter moses" into the affairs OF

THE SUMNER VISITOR.

The season for summer visiting is
at it's height, 1t is pleasant time
Of the year in many respects. The
interchange Of visits, the short stay
away from home, with the resulting
break in the motony Of life-these,
and many other things, give happy
charm to the summer time. But
there is one phase of the matter that
needs to be pondered: Do you make
it easy for your hostess? There are
visitors and visitors. A weeks care
Of visitors OF the exacting and
thoughtless type is equal to week
in Jail for the good housewife. To
drop into the ways Of the family ) ou
visit, is an easy matter. To enter
into the sweet simplicity and unaf-
fected manners Of we'll regulated
home should be an easy matter for
any one. And it is the only way
that one can avoid giving very great
trouble to the hostess. 1t is rude
shock to the instints of human kind
ness and fellowship to see the good
wife and mother of home emerge
from the kitchen at the end Of hard,
warm weeks toll. The flushed face,
the tired look, the weary sigh-if the
recently departing guest could see
and hear all these things! 1t would,
in many cases, take out many Of the
pleasant recollections of the visit.
Young people, especially, are apt to
forget to give due heed to the matter
of being as little trouble as possible.
To interfere with the regularity of
meals, to forget to retire before mid.
night, leave for short visit to some
other friend without due notice,
these, and many other matters Of
small detail are things that well.reg-
ulated visitor will refrain from doing. 4
Much might be said upon the super
sensitiveness of some housekeepers;
the unnecessary worry to which they
subject themselves; the abnormal
dread lest there should be some little
falling short of their ideal. 1t is fire.
quently true that they are unduly
wrought up over the responsibilities
OF entertaining. But it is still true
that with anything like successful
adaptability, a guest can, in large
degree, relieve just this distressful
tension and worry.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1903-08-14

1t is matter of regret that so few
Of our farmers pay any attention to
the growing Of fruit. A few dollars
invested in choice peach and apple
trees, grape vines, plums and pears
would yield rich returns. The rapid
ly growing mill population, to say
nothing Of the rest of non-agrcul-
tural population Of the county, af-
fords wide opening for the sale of
such commodities. Besides, the
health and pleasure of the farmer and
his family are greatly enhanced by
an abundance Of fruit for home con-
sumption. The scuppernong, one OF
the choicest Of grapes, and one that
is easily and successfully cultivated
is very much neglected in our county.
In the lower counties almost every
negro cabin has it's "scuppernong
vine" More of this fruit should be
raised in our county.

dead level. The inmates are neither
happy nor miserable, neither lifted
up nor cast down. There is no war
fare going on, for the reason that a
truce has been agreed on, yet there
is no real peace, for it is at best "an
agreement to disagree. 1t is per-
haps true that, but for some trivial
matter, some defect that might easily
have been remedied, these unhappy
and indifferent homes might have
been happy ones. After all, it is the
Insignificant grain Of sand that stops
the clock. Likewise, it is often some
small hitch in the machinery Of the
home that throws it out of joint. 1t
is fact that it is the delicate, costly
clock that suffers most from the
small hindrance. A big, clumsy
tower clock might grind peck Of
sand yet keep on going. The high
strung, nervous, sensitive people
these are the ones that must look
out most carefully to avoid the dan
gers, seemingly insignificant, that
destroy the peace and the happiness
Of such home.

After all, is it not rather q low aim
that seeks to maze the newspaper
fill the functions Of tattling old
woman or loose-tongued, scandal
dealing man? Where, pray, is the
boasted influence for shaping public
opinion and leading to higher ideals,
if the newspaper is to look no higher
than to being revealer of every
thing, good and bad. in it's sphere of
operation? That may be the surest
way to build up short-lived finan-
cial success, but it is not the way to
build upon lasting foundations, nor
is it the right use Of the high privi-
leges afforded the newspaper for lead
ing the people to better things. There
are matters Of public interest, public
men, institutions and undertakings
that should be brought under the
closest scrutiny. AS a defender of
the public interests, the newspaper
cannot do less than keep the public
informed upon these matters. II
wrong is in sight, it should be un-
hesitatipgly condemned; if changes
are necessary, the newspaper should
seek to bring about changes. We
hear much said about "the power Of
the press" AS matter of fact, the
press has lost considerably in power.
IT speaks babel Of tongues, too often
"stoops to conquer" has become too
commercial in it's instincts, too fce-
quently lacks in loftiness of purpose
and has too little conviction. Talk
about the pulpit losing it's power!
1t is the press, not the pulpit, that is
losing power. Nevertheless, it is

press, that the throbbing heart of
man with sincerity of purpose and
uprightness Of life, actuated by hon
est convictions, makes himself felt
in the columns of a newspaper or in
the pulpit. The newspaper is in it's
proper sphere when it helps in the
material, intellectual and moral in
terests of the people. Its ability to
entertain is also Of considerable i'm
portance, otherwise it's power in the
other directions would be too limited.
1t must be read, otherwise it could
exert no influence. But is it neces-
sary to detail every ugly scandal,
each bit Of information gained by |
source from every indiyid-
ual? We think not.

President Roosevelt, in letter Of
commentator to Gov. Durbin, Of
Illinois, says that lynch law is an
archy, and leads to tyranny. He ad-
vocates speedy enforcement of the
law as the one chief means for put

he offers, there is the true solution
to the problem.
