Examples multiply to prove
that boys who start at the bottom
of the ladder are likely to get to
the top, while those who start at
the top are likely to slide to the
bottom. Henry Gassoway Davis,
the Democratic nominee for Vice
President, was left fatherless
when boy and had to make his
own way through life. SO many
poor orphan boys achieve dis
tinction in the worlds work, it

out to do so. They can who think

Good Money Made.

The following extract from the
columns of the Hazlehursl Cour
ier tells of the profits of several
South Mississippi trucksters dur
ing the season just closed. In a
few weeks as soon as the season
closes, the Progress hopes to pre-
sent full as good a showing from
the Water Valley section, and the
industry may be said to yet be IN
it's infancy here.
The Courier says: "Hazlehurst
offers the following experiences
in trucking that will be worth
much to other sections as an ex :
ample: w. M. Ainsworth plauted
three acres in tomatoes and sold
$874.5O0 worth. He estimates his
clear profit at $3.50. Dan Pitts
planted four acres and estimates
the progt at 800. John Pitts
planted half an acre and has for
profit $240 r, e. Aims worth
planted one and half acres In
beans and marketed $l54 worth,
profit $125. H. Z. Strahan plant-
ed small patch in Irish potatoes
aud sold $3.50 worth, and now has
the ground planted in corn. O.J
Young planted one a half acres in
tomatoes and sold the crop for
$3.50, with clear profit of $3.50.
Britain & Henry put twelve
acres in tomatoes, beans and cab
bage. The net profit above ex-
penses will easily go above
81 900.

Good Homeiy Advice.

Boys, ifyou hire to a fellow at
$500, week, try to be worth
e4.0O. 1hats is the best way in
the world to be appreciated and
get on in the world. Turn every
honest penny for the man you are
working for that you can.
Don't fall into the mistake of
thinking that so long as you can
earn the amount Of wages stipu-
lated You are all right, Il you
start in at two dollars week and
never do over two dollars worth
of work for your employer, as
matter of course he will not adj
vance your wages. Be worth all
you can to the man you are work.
ing for, and as rule he will pay
you all he can. Grenadian.

The Slang Habit

The use Of slang not OILY makes
one appear rough andNeommon,
but it destroys the command of
the English language. When the
times for one to use correct Ian
guage nothing comes to the
tongue but the slang which one
has been in the habit Of using.
The slang habit is a hard one to
break up, and can be broken only
by steady persistent effort. The
summer time seems to be time
when slang fiourishes, and con-
sequently it is the time when the
habit should be broken up.

For the Teeth.

We sometimes hear a child eau

and other hard foods. The teeth
need this exercise to keep
them healthy. If the diet con-

and teeth in natural condition.

made that radium hns been found

What South Caroii..l IS Doing.

Editor Progress:
South Carolina has figured
prominently in the history of our
country since the earliest days.
In the military realm she had her
Sumpter, Marion, Pickens and
the Lees; in the line of statesmen
she holds first rank with CAL
houn, Hayne and Tillman, but
greater than her warriors glory
or orator ) fame, rises the record
of her economic and industrial
progress. Possessed of a soil not
the most fertile it was thought to
have been exhausted years ago.
Many of her former citizens NOV.
ed westward, drawn by the stories
of dazzling opportunities offered by
a new and rising civilization. Her
people, strong, brave and gener-
Gus, quick to denounce the wrong
and with courage to defend the
right, were the first to put into
practice the theory of secession.
In the perilous days that follow
ed that initial step, the sons of
the Palmetto State supported
what they considered a just prin-
ciple of human and civic lib
erty with their lives, their for
tunes and their most sacred hon
or, until the sands of many bait
tle-feld ran red with the coun-
try's best blood. They accepted
the end as only brave men can
and turned again to rebuild the
homes and fortunes of a land ut
terly broken up on the cruel
rack Of war. For eight years
they struggled with corruption
and misrule in every department
OF State government until in their
righteous Indignation the people
rose in mighty effort at the polls

a RETRAcTION.

From the July Number Of the La
dies Home Journal.
In the May number of the La
dies Home journal, we published,
in the article entitled "The Pa
tent Medicine Curse an analy-
sis of Doctor Pierce's t'avorite
Prescription, III which that pre-
paration was represented as CON
tanning, among other ingredients,
tincture of digatalis, tincture of
opium, and alcohol. Immediately
upon publication of the number
suit for damages was instituted
by The R. V. Pierce Medical
Company, of Buffalo, New York,
proprietors of the preparation in
question, against The Curtis Pub
fishing Company, based upon the
claim that none of the three in
gradients was contained in the
medicine.
Upon the filing of the suit, we,
of course. looked into the pub
Iished analysis. It appears that
this particular analysis has been
made, if made at all, fully 20
years ago. We, thereupon, en-
ployed three leading chemists in
different cities to make an a11ay-
sis of the preparation from bot
ties bought in the open market
These analysis, one and all, now
show to us conclusively that not
a single one of the ingredients
mentioned by us in the analysis
quoted that is, digatalis, opium
or alcohol was contained in the
bottles analysed. We then-the
President of this Company and
the writer personally visited The
r.. ". Pierce Medical Company,
at Buffalo, and were there cons
vinced that the officers of the
Company were absolutely truths
full ia their claim that not one
of these Injurious ingredients was
contained in DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription Naturally,
since the analysis we printed has
been proved erroneous, the de-
ductions made IN connection with
this preparation were unwarant~
ed and unfounded.
Under these circumstances it is
now perfectly plain to US that
this magazine was Internationally,
bnt nevertheless absolutely mis-
led in making the original state
ment, and we hereby, of our own
voIitious make this unqualified
acknowledgment of our mistake

and the career of the carpet
bagger passed into history, vile,
corrupt and accusing. Since that
day the industrial progress has
been but little short of mlracu-
lous. The wornout lands were re-
claimed. fertilizers were intro
duced, gullies levelled. neat
houses built upon every hillside,
outside capital encouraged 70 IN
vest in the State. Under the un-
firing energy Of ner farmers,
merchants, artizans and every
class contributes to country's
m aterial progress, the life giving
blood of commerce began IN con-
tlnuous streams through the long
dormant veins of business. North
ern capital, seeking a profitable
field for Investment, was attract
ed to South Carolina. Factories
began to rise amid the rejuven-
| ated cotton farms now producing
under the new system of farming
from one to two bales of cotton
per acre, until at present millions
OF dollars are represented III the
greatest enterprise of cotton
manufacturing, and the numer-
GUS mills not only give employ
ment to the labor of the State and
furnish consumers for the agri-
cultural products, but it invigor~
ates and enlivens every depart
ment of the country's business.
The farmers own their own
farms and live upon them the
surest sign of general prosperity.
The producer and consumer are
brought closer together and more
to the profit of each of them than
anywhere else in. the South.
The school sy stem is so regu'
lated that most of the rural
schools run nine months in the
year, thus educating the boys and
girls for better future citizens
and homeimakers-the only safe
guard upon which our institus
tIons rest.
Rural free mail delivery is be-
ing introduced all over the State
until those living back from rail-
roads and towns get their mail
daily at their own doors.
What are some of the lessons
that the people of Mississippi can
learn FROM their sister State?
1. That the resources of any
State, however poor, if rightly
fosterea, cannot be exhausted.
2. That around US lie hundreds
of uadeveloped opportunities il
we but selze and Improve them.

A Magnificent Water
Front For Sale.

There is no more attractive salt
water frontage in Chatham county
than that at Coffee Bluff.
The stream of water is bold, with
grand outlook seward. and the best
fishing in this vicinity.
The contiguous land is fetile, and
the woods abound in oak and hickory.
This tract consists of los acres, hav-
ing water frontage of 400 feet.
The land is reached by the White
Bluff road, affording a shelled road to
within three miles of the land and
there are good prospects Of this short
space being shelled in the near flu
ture.
This land is easily divided into
building lots with beautiful frontage,
and a good acreage in the rear.
Promoters and spectators are in
vited to investigate this as a rare
chance for profit.
