girl, about the same age, were at play.

ing it at his sister and negro child, pulled
the trigger. Hattie Lou was instantly

SMALL ENTERPRISES WORK WONDERS.

The following dispatch from Batesburg,
in a recent issue of tho Colum bia State,
has attracted our attention, and we re-
publish 1t here for the benefit of our
people:
"That small enterprises not only help
to build up town, but pay rich dividends
TO their promoters, is amply proved by
the successful career Of the Bateshnrg
Concrete Stone Contracting Company.
This company was organized five months
ago for the purpose of manufacturing
building material of sand and cement,
aud Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather conditions have been very unfa-
vorable for such work, it has met with
almost marvellous success. At meeting
of the board of directors held on Monday
dividend of 40 per cent. was declared
as result of the first five months work" I"
The establishment of small enterprises
in our midst is what we have preached
for years, but 80 far our appeals have not
brought the result we have desired.
There have been some enterprises started
and built up, but the minor ones chose
that require capital of only few thou
sand dollars-the really small industries
that can be so readily started, and with
honest men at their heads, can be made
to bring the stockholders fair dividend
on their money-are ignored.
What we want is some one to take the
!lead-some one willing to give good,
honest service to the work and see that
the promoting is properly done, that
funds are economically dispensed, and
some one who can command the conf.
dence of those who are expected to con
tribute to the capital of a concern.
Let us consider these things, and re-
member that what others have done we
can do if we will but try What business
man will start tho ball rolling for new
enterprise? Let some one start the move
ment.
