This Land OF quick success's
Gave me no happiness.
Nor fame. nor friends, nor gold,
But precious pearls untold
The pearls Of all the tears
I've Wept in ten sad years.
But I do not complain,
0 lofty land OF the free!
I have thy greatest gain;
Sweet Freedom I have from thee!
This Land OF quick success"
Gave me no stars to bless,
All have here acquired
In ten years struggle fired,
Is my rich silver share
The silver in my hair.
But I do not repine,
Q lofty land of the freei
Thy grandest good is mine:
Sweet Freedom I have from thee.

Heathen Business Methods.

Business among the Chinese, &C
cording to a Russian traveller who has
Just returned from Manchuria, is on
cooperative basis. There are
neither proprietors nor employees, but
all who work in an establishment are
partners.
From time to time small allowances
are doled out TO them-barely enough
to live on-but at the end OF the year
all the profits are divided.
The Chinese merchants are so hon
est that among all the ten branches
of the Russo-Chinese Bank located
in China there has been no record
since their establishment of a single
protested note.

in solid chunks but the grains were dis

LETTER TO WARREN SMITH
Batesburg, s. G.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints in the
market know much about them. All
Dev'.e agents have n state chemists
certificate telling just what its made
OF; they know good deal, not only
about Devoe but tho rest; we see that
they do. We buy every paint, that
has any sale, and analyze it. Our
agent finds out all about it.
When we know what paint is made
of, we know how ii will act; we know
how far it goes, aud how long it wears
Devoe is the standards; call it 100.
The best of the rest is about 75; the
worst about %: the rest are between.
But the men who sell them, don't
know any better. They know
what the maker tells It. EN-. That /,
they know that he tells them They
don't know whether he tells them the
truth or not.
The bu mess is not conducted on kno wi
edge; the less they know, the more
comfortable they are

PAST AND PRESENT.

Batesburg is distinctly on boom.
Yet it is not one of those sudden,
short-livsd struggles for growth but
there is steady, strong and extensive
advance all along the line.
About thirty five years age there
was, thirty two miles west of CUlum-
bia on the old Richmond & Danville
railroad a stopping point by the name
of Batesburg. Two stores and three
dwellings comprised the town. 1t
was small beginning, but it was a
beginning nevertheless. These two
stores mentioned were the lOafing
places and POINTS of interest for the
farmers around. There were found
all articles necessary for home life
from farm implements and groceries
to drugs and articles of toilet. The
train passed once each way daily and
was a great event In the daily life of
the town. A cotton mill, or bank, or
newspaper had never been dreamed of
as belonging to Batesburg. But
things were not allowed to stop where
they had begun. There was infused
into the Lille of the town the spirit OF
growth and success. Through all these
years il has been at work and will re-
main the dominant characteristic OF
Batesburg for the years that are to
come. 1t is not our purpose to trace
the growth and developement of our
town through the past years OF its his
tory. Suffice it to say that there has
been growth, steady and surely. In
steao of the one train each way daily
that belonged to The old days there
Batesburg is the largest shipping Din,
between Columbia and Augusta and
the Southern Railroad receives more
ncome from its Batesburg Office than
any points between the above nameu
cities. This can be proved by statistics.
Instead of the two general ores OF
go there are tc day thirty one, the ma
jority of them handsome brick struc-
lures, and all of them special depai T.
ment stores. For drugs we 20 TO a
drug store; for dry goods to special
dry goods store; for green groceries to
a special store handling them. And
our merchants instead of ordering
their goods are now going 10 New
York and other northern markets
where they can get the best on tie
market and get what they want.
There is sum of $3.50 daily paid ou
to employees. The cotton mill is d
success. We boast as good Graded
school and corps OF teachers as an,
town in South Carolina, and in a sbor
time we are going to have a magnlG.
cent new school building. We have
newspaper which sends out 25OO copie,
weekly and its subscription list con
stantly increasing.
Waterworks and electric lights ar,
being installed. The Bell te!ephoi
system is being put In, placing us il
close communication with the Who'll,
Safe and northern cities. In ever,
respect the new CITY is showing IL
self. The work Of cleaning and beau
tifying the str, e.s is going on. Iti,
our intention to have one Of the clean
est and neatest AMI ost substanli
business towns in South Carolina.

fun to rattle through the little villages where the
children came out to look at them. Totte and jim
NIT felt so important. Everybody must know that
they were going to town with grandpa, and it
q wonderful thing.
Halfway to town grandpa stopped the horses in
a little woodsy place where there a brook, and
they ate the lunch grandma had prepared and drank
the clean cold water of the brook. 1t was such fun
just as good as picnic you know; and grandpa
toll dthem stories and made them laugh. Grandpa
was so jolly,
When they got to town Tottie and Jimmie stared
until their eyes ached.
1t was wonderful, wonderful day all through.
They saw enough to talk about ali winter Be-
tween times they each thought deeply what they
should buy with their 10 cents They had never
had so much money to spend before. But presently
Tottie frightened up and looked knowing She had
decided what she would buy. A little later Jimmie
also frightened up and looked knowing; he had
thought of the very same thing.
When gong-home time came they were glad and
tired and happy The road seemed pretty long
going back, and they got sleepier and sleepier.
When Tottie began to nod violently grandpa
thought it was time to do something He stopped
the horses, spread big rug on the floor of the
wagon behind the seat fixed up pillow out of
parcels, put the drowsy twins in and covered them
over with another rug. Tottie and Jimmie slept
as soundly for the last twelve miles as if they were
at home in bed
1t was bright moonlight when the big bay horses
stopped in the Valley farm yard and Tottie and
Jimmie woke up.
After supper ttie'gravely united small par
eel.
Il got this for you, grandpa" she said, proudly
1t "a gorgeous heart of ping candy, adorned
with gilt paper, and motto, and the picture of a
rose.
'Well, well" said grandpa, isn't that a splenz
did present"
q got something for grandma" said Jimmie,
proudly.
Then he undid his parcel and 10! there was
yard of the very brightest bright yellow and bright
blue plaid satin ribbon that 10 cents could buy.
Grandma held up her hands.
Dear met" she said, "isnt that most elegant
thing, now!"
When Tottie and Jimmie had gone to bed grand
ma and grandpa laughed until the tears ran down
their cheeks.
"The dear little things" said grandma. "To
think of their buying something for us instead of
spending it on themselves
Grandpa never ate the pink heart, and grandma
never wore the plaid ribbon. They kept them
wrapped up in tissue paper III box the parlor
mantel shelf, and they showed them to everybody.
There was nothing Tottie and Jimmie could have
bought for them that would have pleased them
more.-Vesner Bell.

Ireland's Champion.

T. F. Kiey, Ireland's greatest athlete, whose
coming in years past has been frequently herald
ed, is at last these shores. He sailed on the
Teutonis May 20. Kelly has broken records in
everything conceivable style of weight throwing,
singing, pushing, putting and winding. he owns
more championship medals and prizes than any half

track and field competition. He has been irwin
chile in all round contests for the past dozen
years.
He is Ireland's representative for the all-round
athletic championship of the world to be held at
the Exposition Grounds, st. Louis on the Fourth

Kiey was born at Ballyneal, Carrick on-Suir,
County Tipperary, in the early seventies and from
his boyhood was fired with desire to be worthy
of his neighbors, the famous DAWN brothers, who
were then making athletic history
He won his first all-round championship in 1890
by such a margin that he has since been reckoned
as one of the worlds greatest athletes.
The year following saw him a factor III the Gae-
lie Athletic and Irish Amateur Championships,

and small, throughout ireland. He the all

English hammer championship five times and the
Irish championship seventeen times. At the IN

ches, and the worlds record for Sc pound unlimited
run, and follows 80 feet II inches at Cork, Sept.

ToTTIE AND JIMMIE.

When Tottie and Jimmie came to visit grandpa
and grandma at the Valley farm III October, grand

Jimmie had never seen a town, 50 they were much
excited. Tottie was 10; Jimmie 10 Also be-
cause. as Tottie would have told YOU "twinses cant
help being the same age"
One fine crisp morning everybody at the Valley
farm was up before sunrise-for town was twenty
miles away and journey thereto must be begun
betimes. Just before they started in the market
wagon with the two bid red horses, grandma gave
Tottie and Jimmie 10 cents each
Get just exactly what you like for yourselves,
she said
Grandpa let them take turns driving all the way
to town. This best of all. When they had
driven ten miles the world was getting pretty well
Weakened up. and they met lots of people. But how
Tottie and Jimmie ptied those people who were not
going to town with grandpa! 1t was such good

A cHuRcH PROGRESSION.

1t has long been saying in New York that the
Irish build the churches. The Italians in their set
Elements follow almost automatically the line of
settlement of Irish immigrants in New York
neighborhoods. With their increase there is de
maHd for Italian churches which is not supplied by
the building Of new edifces, but by the surrender
of this built by Irish parishioners to Italian CON
gregations
The Church of the TRANSPORTATION, in Mott
street, for instance is in parish at one time al
most exclusively Irish. The parish was established
in 1872 and remained for three-quartcrs of cen
try of the church landmarks of the district.
The Church of Our Lady of Pompeii, in Bleeck-
er street near Downing, is the successor of the
Church of st. Benedict the congregation of which
was established in 49,.
The Church of ST. Anthony, in Sullivan street,
