We hope that the gent emeu who
have been elected to the general as
sembly from Laurens will do their
level best for the repeal of the lien
law. The farmers in Laurens are en-
joying prosperity now and there will
never come more favorable time for
emancipation from the financial slav-
cry which the lien law imposes on
large number of good men.
Many newspapers and all statesmen
have endeavored to explain why Parker
was SO badly beaten but we believe
that the one man who knows Is our
friend "Brother Bob" who is neither a
newspaper man nor statesman be-
cause he is philosopher. Judge
Parker has on his fine farm at Esopus
fine red poll cattle and so has Brother
Bob on his fue farm near Fountain
Inn. We do not know that Brother
Bob is better politician than Judge
Parker but we have not the slightest
doubt that he is q far better farmer.
THE ADVERTISER would be delighted
to hear from Brother Bob both as to
Judge Parker's defeat and red poll
cattle.

Years Of travel in our own and foreign
countries would not take its place. One
might travel in Germany or Japan for a
year and never see as much of the res
pective countries as are gathdred here
and to be seen and admired in few
hours. In fact, many Of the exhibits
could not be seen at all in their own lands
without much difficulty, even if one were
to find out their existence, and in any
case they would nevet be found altogeth-
er in one place in their own country.
We have spoken Of the magnificent and
bouniless display,of Japan, second only
to that Of Germany. In contrast to this
land the Exposition managers have pos
slbly done it on purpose] the space al
lotted to Russia is surrounded by cotton
sheeting enclosures with nothing on ex.
hibition, but the significant sign above
each vacant space Russia" Every Wis
itor can but think something as he pass
es, and we venture that every Jap sight
seer grins to himself as he sees the va
cancies and realizes how here as in Kor-
ca the Jap has scored victory of public
sentiment that is worth as much to Japan
as success in battle. af armies.
Well, we have written about all we
think our readers will care to read on
this subject and perhaps great deal
more, I'VE may only add that we are

that all our readers that can make it con-
venient to 60, will also be satisfied after
they visit this greatest Of Worlds Fairs.

man who struggles and saves to give his
loved ones home is hero, perhaps
even of nobler cast than he who fights
in battle, for it sometimes takes far more
conrage and good judgment to fight the
quiet battle of a lifetime, alone by ones
sell, than to join in the mad rush and ex-
,citement OF the battlefield. The country
doctor who travels across countryin the
dead of night, in the worst of weather, to
assist some poor suffering mortal, and
who without the accessories of the hos
pital performs operations that save hu-
manlife, whose reward possibly is no
more than sense of duty done, may be
2 far greater success in his own sphere
than the famous city doctor whose fees
are counted by hundreds Of dollars for
similar work.;
More than all, the suppositlon that only
the great are successful, is slur on the
digpity of manual labor. Brain power is
2 great thing, but muscle after all is the
conqneror of the world. 1t is great
thing to know how to do, but that is of
little avail unless somebody does it. But
we have never heard commencement
orator hold up the man who works stead
ily for ten hours day as an example.
The great majority of our school and
college graduates OF the present day
have learned little of everything except
the habit OF steady, hard labor. They
graduate with the idea that they know
SO much that they will never have to
WORK tor living land alas, when they
go out into the world, nobody asks them
how much they know, but what can they
dos And then they discover that they
have. lesson to learn that is not found
IN textbooks. Better far for the average
boy to have learned the habit of steady
work and the average girl the duties of
domestic lie, than to possess college
diploma. They will attain greater sue
cess IN life, because they will be better
able to attain their proper positions in
life.;
knowledge is power. So is steam and
electricity. But, like them, knowledge
has3ts &c applied through some sort soi
machinery 70 be available. The ma ma.
chinery OF knowledge is human muscle,
otherwise known as manual labor. The
civilization of every nation is measured
equally by the head and the hand. 1t is
well to look upward, but don't even by
inference give children the idea that to
look at labor is looking downward, and
that their fathers and mothers, who have
worked SO hard all their lives, and their
friends and neighbors, who have never
even been elected as poundmasters, are
therefore failures in life.

THE AVERAGE MAN.

AHSSe are the Gays OF graduates from
our schools and colleges, On the plat
forms at the commencement exercises,
graduates and orators discuss ''the part.
ing of the ways" and kindred subjects,
naturally and properly, referring to the
fact that the pupils have arrived at the
|gtage- in their lives that means an earnest
outlook to the future for the course they
will necessarily choose and pursue.
The theme OF all these essays and ex.
|hortations is success in that future life.
Ia their enunciation the names OF the
worlds most famous men will appear as
examples for imitation. So far it is all
right but nobody ever seems to think of
mentioning on these occasions the aver
age man.
This is all the more strange, because
the older speakers at least, know that the
graduates and pupils present before them
will generally be no more than average
men and women. The speakers know
that it isn't possible for them to all be-
come presidents, because by the history
and by the laws of this country only one
man can be president at time out OF the
80, ,OOO, 600 inhabitants. The opportuni-
ties for occupation of other similar high
places, politically and otherwise, are
nearly as narrowly bounded by numeri-
cal possibilities. Then in most cases at
least, preferment in almost any branch Of
human effort is also limited by individ-
ual capacity. Sometimes by accident or
luck LUZ some very mediocre people get into
pretty high places, but as rule popular
success is the result not only of persist
ent endeavor, but also Of more or less
natural genius and talent, with which the
average individual IS not endowed and
which it is impossible for him to achieve.
But it is necessary to occupy some ex-
alted place in the view of humanity to
be successful in life? That certainly is
the trend OF the usual commencement
Grafton and essay. We hold that this is
afalse and foolish idea and harmful to
the rising generation. It is manifestly
wrong to teach that which though barely
possible is very improbable, bnt the
great wrong is that it presu,nes the aver
age man to be. failure in lite, which is
very far from the truth. If il were possi-
bic that any man could by effort alone
attain the highest places, it would not be
well for The world ior all men to strive
for such places It is well for the world
that the most Of mankind are satisfied to
be but average men, who seek only to
perform well the part in life which en-
yironment and other circumstances place

large shows in other places, being too
large in extent, for the Pike. These
shows are good revenue producers for
both the owners and the fair. The prices

On a scale that could never be found at

THREE CARS DERAILED
Woman and Child Killed and
Thirty or More People
Injured.

Baltimore, Jan. ga broken rail
caused the derailment of three cars Of
an eastbound passenger train on the
Western Maryland railroad today near
/ Blue Mountain House station, east of
HagerstOwn, Md. Two persons were
killed and thirty injured. The ladies'
coach, which was the last of the train,
rolled over and over down the noun
tain side, a distance Of eighty feet, and
landed bottom upward.
Katherine Sener, 8 years old, daugh-
ter of a Baltimore newspaper man, died
in the arms Of the conductor after be-
ing taken from the wrecked car. An
unknown woman was so wedged in the
wreckage that her dead body is un-
recognizable. It is thought she was
Mrs. Z. Z. Roy, or FOy, of Philadelphia.
Mrs. SeneT. mother of the dead child,
was perhaps fatally injured. Her son
was also injured. None of the other
passengers are believed to have sus-
tanned serious injuries.
The train, consisting of five cars and
an engine, vas bowling along up the
steep grade about fifteen miles an hour
when the accident occurred. All ex-
cept the ladies' car passed safely over
the broken rail.

there was no danger, ard urged them
TO resume their seats. Their advice
was not needed, however. The pail
bearers went to the side Of the casket
and stood in readiness to remove it,
and the family of the dead girl pre-
pared TO leave. Suddenly d cloud Of
smoke came in through the open door
and the sight ana smell maddened the
people. The two officers had barely
time to swing the doors open when the
rush came. This was all that saved a
severe crush, and probable loss OF life,

doorway
When the street was reached and it
was seen that there was no cause for

returned to the church and the serv-
ices were finished. Nobody was in
