A New York boy by the name of
Morris Schateffer has refused an
offer of $4,000 a year, preferring
to continue his schooling. Young
Schateffer Is only Is, but he has
won such distinction as an invent
or that the General Electric Com
paDy offered him an extraordinary
salary. A newspaper dispatch
under date of New York, July %,
tells the story in this way:
Eighteen thousand year for
a boy Is! And he turned it down !!
1t came to Morris Schateffer, of
872 Gates avenue, who solved a
problem for signaling for electric
roads, His system is in use on a
part Of the Brooklyn rapid transit
lines. According to report, he
has been offered $4,000 for his
invention, but he thinks it is
worth twice as much. He declined
an offer to GO with the General
Electric Company at $4,000 a
year, because he wants to finish
his course in the public schools. l."
In preferring an education to so
promising position, young Schat-
effer shows that he views life from
a higher standpoint than those do
who sacrifice everything 10 the
accumulation of wealth. A well
trained mind can furnish the body
all it needs, namely, food, cloth
ing and shelter, but purse, how
ever well filed. cannot supply
either brain or conscience.-The

Many people spend all their life
looking for the place in this world
which they we're intended to fill.
They never settle down to any,
thing with restful or contented
feeling. What they are doing
now is not by any means the work
that is suited to their abilities.
They have a sunny ideal of very
noble life which they would like
to reach, in which their powers
would find free scope, and where
they could make a very bright
record. But in their present posi-
tion they cannot do much of any,
thing, and there is little use to
try. Their life Is a humdrum and
prosy routine, and they cali &C.
complish nothing really worthy
and beautiful. So they go on
discontinued with their own lot,
and signing for another; and
while they sigh, the years glide
away, and soon they will come tc
the end, to find they have missed
every opportunity of doing any.

JUST TO BE FAIR.
The Atlanta News Wishes to Know
Who is Right About Rates.

A dispatch from Birmingham says
that Governor Jelks will probably call
an extra session of the Alabama Legis-
lature. One object of the extra session
will be to pass an act giving to Alabama
the same railroad rates charged in
Georgia
Commenting on this, the Atlanta
News says:
Either our freight rates are better
than Alabama'sI or they are worse.
The issue is distinctly made between
the politicians of the two states.
"Only the rate sheets themselves can
settle the controversy, and what better
service can the Georgia Commission
render this honest campaign of educa-
ton than to publish side by side from
official sources the rate sheets of the
two states and give the people who
vote exact and official information upon
one of the vital issues of our politics.
"This is fair. This is honest. This
is just.
And while the commissioners are
about it, it might be well to give the
people mot in statement and assertion,

HARD WORK THE BIGGEST FACTOR

The New York Commercial says !:
1.-The telephone and free delivery
Of mail increased Georgia fam
lands from $40 to 800 per acre. "
Yes, telephones and mails and
hard hoeing and blowing and
draining and building of houses
and fences, and raising cattle and
stock have indeed increased prices
of farm lands. Increase of popu-
lation, improved method CT farm
ing, the building up of impover-
ished lands, railroad extensions,
the construction of good country
roads, etc, have all had some
thing to do with the matter. The
telephone and the mail helped,
but they didn't do it all. Aud
perhaps the increase hasn't been
quite as great as the Commercial
says it is.--Savannah News.

Freedom of thought is a bless
ing, not a curse. A man who is
free from prejudice or bigotry,
superstition and hatred of man
respects the lights and opinions of
all persons. He knows that it is
impossible for all persons to think
alike on the same subjects, AS
long as a man holds hatred against
his fellow-man, he cannot become
a free thinker. Hatred destroys
freedom of thought. A free think
er is true humanitarian. He is
opposed to all woes and cruelties
of all kinds. The selfish man
hates the truth, except it will
profit him something, but when
the truth is against him, he fights
strong to keep it from showing
what he does not want made
known.

TYPHOID FEVER.

So far as the mere question Of
human health is concerned the
yellow fever in New Orleans is a
trifie compared to the typhoid cpl
demic that is now raging in New
York. The medical officer of the
New York health board has sub
united report showing that up
to August 1st there have been 81 :
600 cases of typhoid and 305
deaths in that city. But there is
no panic IN New York and the
wheels of trade and industry have
suffered not the slightest check.
The health officials of New York
have no hope of seeing an abate-
ment of the typhoid until winter
comes, but this is hope that may
not be realized if it be true, as
stated, that the water supply is
polluted, because science has dem
onstrated that the typhoid germ
Is not destroyed by cold, but can
be killed only by boiling the water
that is used for drinking purposes,
hence unless this precautiou is
taken the disease will thrive quite
as well in winter as it does in the
summer months,

A NEEDLESS WASTE.

Much of the cotton which has
been brought to town recently,
saws the Summerville News, has
been badly damaged by exposure
to the weather, AID in conse-
quence has not brought the best
prices or has been heavily locked
in weight.
In some instances the losses
thus caused have been heavy,
amounting to ten or fifteen dol
lars a bale. Why people will not
take care of their property-why
they will deliberately throw away
good hard-earned money-is hard
to understand. 1t would have
been business to have sold cotton
at z cents last fail when cotton
was in good condition and had
the use of the money till now
than to have allowed the Gotten
to lie In the rain all the winter
and sell it now for no more money
than it would have brought then.
Of course good, clean, dry cot
ton has been bringing a good price
ten cents and over, but bad cot
ton can never bring nothing but
a bad price. Some farmers could
have made $25 a day by properly
housing their cotton at the right
time.

Loneliness is the second crime in
the masculine category of femin-
inc sins. A man may forgive a
girl for wearing pink chiffon to
church, or soaking herself with a
strong perfume; but he can never
pardon her for attracting the at
tention of the street or the hotel
DINING room by talking at the
top of her voice. The girl whose
street manners he admlres is the
one whom he never sees until she
is pointed out to him.

KEEPING YOUR WORD.

A middle-aged man who has
succeeded IN establishing lucra-
tive business, one in which he
deals with many persons, and Of
ten comes in contact with them.
says that the strongest feature of
his success that he can claim is
that he made it a point to always
keep his word. When he began
business in modest way he de-
termined to do that, for he be-
lieved that it was better than any
minor strategy often employed by
men i'll dealing with their fellows.
Often in the beginning, it would
have been much more profitable
and muUh easier to subterfuge,
but he was looking toward the fu-
ture rather than present results.
By and by, as time passed, his
reputation for keeping his word
grew, and this very circumstance
acted as safeguard to integrity !.
There was no longer danger that
tricks of the trade would be sub
stituted for cander. On this bas-
is the business grew to larger pro-
portions and the public came to
recognize the value of the treat
ment that emnates from the dwell
ing place of such principal.
Keep your word no matter at
what cost, is the advice of this
man to the aspirant for a success.
