TITLE STROKES FELL GREAT
TREES.

Business men of sound judg'
ment long ago came to the con-
clusion that it does not pay to
employ men who indulge in in
toxicating drinks even moderate
ly. Many who laughed at the
idea at first now see the wisdom
of such discrimination, so that
there is a constantly growing de-
mand everywhere, not for the
man who can drink or let 1t
alone, but for the man who
leaves it alone. It is interesting
to note that employers have dis
covered that there is another
class of men whom they cannot
afford to have connected with
their business. 1t is the gambler
who, though he might be honest
in the sense that he would not
steal outright, IS nevertheless
unreliable, and therefore an un-
profitable servant. Boys who
gamble for pennies on the street
do not seem to realize that even
now some employer may be TAX
ing their measure: and if they
are not up to the mark the bad
impressions formed now are
likely to last, and might possibly
destroy the chances of a respon-
sible position for the future. Be
sides, they are forming a pernlc-
ious habit which if persisted in
is bound to wreck even the
brightest prospects, and dwarf
the most promising life into a
miserable, miserly failure-Wal-
ter Vonderleith.

POOH! POOH !!

There is much being said in
the newspapers about what the
dispensary Investigating COM
mittee is going to do, but in our
opinion they will do nothing
which will amount to anything
of value. In the first place the
committee has no power to do
anything except to make excur-
sions over the State and pry into
things which can only amount
to what is being done by local
grand juries. The committee
will find that a certain dispenser
has not been complying with the
law regarding request books, and
such things like that, but where
the grating has been done they
will not find, if they so at it
everywhere as they did in Char
lesion recently. The committee
spent several days in the city,
did not summons a man before
it, but gave out a statement that
they would be glad to receive
information. 1t does strike us
that such proceedings are moth
ing less than farce. The idea
Of a committee searching for
corruption, going to Charleston,
putting up at an expensive hotel
at the expense of the State, wait,
ing for Charleston to volunteer
to become informers, it is absurd.
If this committee was in earnest
to get at the facts, and it be-
lieves there are people in Char
lesion who know them, why did
they not issue a regular sum-
mons as they have right to do,
and force the attendance OF
these witnesses, and get their
testimony under oath, but no,
they let it be known, ';that we
are at the Charleston Hotel, and
if anybody will give US lnforma-
tior CT an discriminating we
will give them an audience" tits
this kind of a service the people
are paying for. and it is this
kind of a service we predicted
the people would have, as soon
as'we saw that the legislature Gre
ated the commission and did not
endow it with the proper author
ity to unearth corruption if any
exists; we believe when their
report is filed it will amount to
nothing.

The Mosaic Flooring Of the Desert.

The Mosaic Flooring Of the Desert.
The northern portion Of the Colorado
desert is paved with the most wonder
fuI pebbles In the world, In many parts
so exqulsitely laid as to defy. success
full imitation by the most skilled worker
In mosaic flooring. These pebbles. are
made Of porphyry, agates, carnelian,
quartz, crystals, garnets, chrysolite
and other such beautiful materials.
They are packed together 80 that the
surface composed Of them is like a
floor, and they look as if pressed into
It with q roller. AS a rule, they are
Of nearly uniform size, and each one Is
polished brilliantly, as if oiled and rub
bed. Most Of them are perfect spheres,
and the reflection from them Of the
suns rays is gorgeous beyond descrip-
ton. Each convex surface gives back
a ray Of light, and the ground for
miles seems as If literally paved with
gems. Thus the whole surface Of the
plain is q combination of myriads Of
refectors, each pebble being so highly
polished that it is like g Eiir-or: ara it
is believed that the lakes Of the desert
mirage are produced by this means.
The pebbles are polished by the loose
sand which is blown hither and thither

LEMONADE OR WINE.

\ young man in company with
several other gentlemen, called
upon a young lady. Her father
was present to assist in enter
tanning the guests. and offered
vine, but the young lady asked,
ssDid you call upon me. or upon
papa:"
Gallantry, if nothing else,
compelled them to answer: 1--WE
called on you
"Then you will please not
drink wine. l have lemonade for
my visitors.
The father urged his guests
to drink, and they were undeci-
ded.> The young lady added,
Remember, if you called on me,
then you think lemonade; but If
on papa, why, I have nothing tc
say"
The wine-glasses were set
down with their contents un-
tasted. After leaving the house
one Of the party exclaimed,
':That was the most effectua]

these facts were obtained broke
off at once from the use of strong
drink, and holds a grateful re-

GRASpING AT STRAWS.

Senator Tillman's speech at
Edgeheld last Saturday is in
efecta a reiteration Of his Hig-
gins letter. He is pleading for
delay until the legislature can
meet. and then he hopes that
body will accept his views with
regard to putting the control Of
the dispensary back into the
hands of the Governor. It's very
evident the Senator does not rel
lsh the idea of having to defend

friends will not stand for the
present management of the dis
pensary, that they are heartily
disguised with the constant
scandalous rumors that come
from it is certain and sure, and
he must do something to rein
spire confidence in it, or suffer
annihiliation with it. In his
Edgefeld speech, the Senator
attempted to draw factional lines
by charging that the Conserva-
tives are responsible for the bad
condition Of the dispensary to-
day. He expresses the opinion
''that there has been a deep
laid scheme to destroy the
system by mismanagement." )"
He also says 'tthere is every
indication to show that the pre-
sent onslaught on the dispen-
sary is being engineered and led
by those who have been, are now
and will ever be my most bitter
political opponents. The more
venomous of these men have not
hesitated recently to say in the
press and in other places that

The investigating of the Spar

The Investigating of the Spar
tanburg dispensary is showing
a very corrupt condition of
things. and maybe Mr.. E. L..
Archer had method in his mad
ness in refusing to allow Nc
Laurin to speak. The eN-Sen-
ator was requested to give his
views on the dispensary at Dill
lon and he did so very strongly.
Perhaps Archer was afraid Of a
similar occurrence at Spartan
burg, and used his position to
prevent McLaurin from lifting
the lid off the cauldron of cor
ruption which has since been
exposed by a power that Archer
and his political henchmen had
no power to control.

RARE WILD ANIMALS
All the Wonders Of Creation Are to
Be Found in Rineine Brothers
Famous Menauere.

The most valuable collection of Wild
animals in the world is the menagerie
feature Of Ringing Brothers show, the
largest circus Organization of all time.
Among the odd creatures, nowhere else
to be seen, and above price, are two
giraffes, the last of their tribe; the only
rhinoceros in captivity; the almost ex-
tinct gnu, or horned horse; a real baby
elephant and a gigantic troop of forty ele-
plants, the largest company ever shown
under canvas and more than twice as
many as are with any other show in
America. In this priceless collection Of
odd animal creatures the specimens are
All perfect types, and 1OS cages, lairs and
dens are used TO carry them. The big
menagerie tent is the largest ever made
for circus, and SO big that an army of
5000 men could be easily maneuvered
within its walls. Naturalists and ex-
plorers of fame positively pronounce
this menagerie the rarest, largest and
moss valuable in existence. Frequently
colleges and schools are closed so that
students may have the privilege of in
specting this wonderful exhibition of wild
animal life one may practically make a

Christian. Acts s:1-f.h-47. BY the Rev. W.
n. Sherwood, agent.
In this lesson we have an account of
the descent of the Holy Spirit ON the day
Of Pentecost Christ had promised the
spirit and the time for His coming had
fully arrived "The day of Pentecost was
fully come"
When that hour had arrived it found
the Apostles and other believers 'all with
one accord in one place" We notice two
important things here which preceded
the gift Of the Holy Ghost.
First they We're IN "our place" Sec
ond, they were with one accord"
The first teaches us that Christians
must not forsake The assembling Of
themselves I'm some place for the worship
OF God and the reception of the Holy
Ghost. The second teaches the most inn
portant truth of the two. namely, that
there must be perfect unanlmity among
those who are waiting for the descent
of the Spirit before He can come. How
often when the Master was with His de-
ciplss do we find strife among them as
to which should be the greatest. But now
strifes We're at an end and we hear no
more about them.
Would we be filled with the spiritg Then
let us all be of one accord and putting
aside selfish interests let us love one
another. For the blessing of the spirit is
