EDUCATION is APPRECI.
ALTON,

Education is generally in bad repu-
tation among men and women who
have made successes of themselves
without it. A bad reputation never
arises from nothing. Where there is
smoke there is fire. Men and wo-
men who believe that the time spent
in learning is so much time wasted
are sometimes honest in their belief
and they have some reason for their
conclusions. Sometimes they be-
lieve as they do because some So
called educated individual has strut
ted past them flinging Latin and
French phrases about just to make
an impression. The person who
struts and shifts and stands on pc
destal just because he has book
learning doesn't know enough to
know what education means.
Education is not book learning.
Education is not necessarily a mat
ter of schools and colleges. Educa-
ton is understanding of the people
and the things that people of the
world know and talk about. Educa-
ton is appreciation.
The man who can paint the side of
a barn gets more enjoyment out of a
fine oil painting than the man who
has never handled brush. The
man or woman who can draw the
picture of horse gets still more fun
from the painting. The man or wo-
man who has painted a picture very
like the one looked upon gets most
of all, because they know the most
about the painting. They know the
trick of color, they know what the
painter did to make this tree, to
make that cloud They appreciate
because they know. knowledge is
learning; learning is education.
If you know how house is built,
how it is planned and how it is fin
ished, you appreciate a fine house.
If you know something about every
one and everything you see, you
gain from each person or subject
something for yourself. If you know
nothing of an object it has no more
meaning to you than have the pages
of book written in language you
cannot read.
The man who boasts of being a
success without education either
possesses education won from expe-
rience and research or he is not more
than half as successful as he would
have been had he been trained.

HIS INJURIES PROVED FATAL
L. l.. Sherwood. of Dillon. 5. c.. Falls
From Window of Hospital.

Fayetteville, N. c., May 6.-ThiS
morning about Z o'clock pedestrians
were Mortified when they saw a man,
a patient in the Highsmith hospital,
hanging by one hand from a window
on the third floor, yelling to save me,
but before assistance could be render
ed he lost his hold and dropped to the
carried into the hospital by doctors
and nurses, it was found that he had
sustained a broken arm and broken
leg, also internal injury. He proved
to be John L. Sherwood, a prominent
young business man Of Dillon, S. G.
He fell at z o'clock, just as the night
nurses were going off duty and the day
force coming on. This gave him his
first opportunity to get to a window.
Mr.. Sherwood was a former resident
of this city, a clerk for the late James
Burns. This afternoon his condition
is critical, and little hope is euter-
tanned for his %recobery. Mr.. Sherwood
was admitted to the hospital last We'd
nesday and since he has been perfectly
rational, with nothing in his condition
to require w~atchfulness Or lead to the
suppOsition of any danger Of such a
lamentable occurrence. 1t is thought
he had risen and was sitting in the
window and lost his balance. His
immediate cries for help would indi-
ate that.
A careful examination shows that
only n leg, the right leg, was brok-
en-. At 2 o'clock tse physicians could
not give an opinion as to his chances
of recovery.
Later-Mr. Sherwood died from his
injuries at 6 o'clock this afternoon.

New York, May G.-The longshcre-

suddenly extended today when a mum
Der of men employed on the docks ON
the Hudson both in New York and Ho-
boken, left their places. 1t is estimat-
ed that about 5000 went out.
The strikers claim that tomorrow
several thousand more men will Strike
and that within forty-eight hours
there will not be a longshoremal at
work except for companies which
grant the increase in wages demanded.
The men ask for forty cents an hour
for ordinary work, sixty cents for owe
time and eighty cents for Sundays and
holidays. At present they receive 50,
so and 60.
On the other hand the dock superin-
tendents OF the lines, particularly the
great transatlantic lines, which are
affected, say that under no circum-
stances will they grant the demands
of the men They declare the demands
are exorbitant and that plenty Of men
can be had for the old scale.
In the meantime the companies have
their firemen, stewards and crews at
work loading freight. 1t is said that
none of the big liners will be delayed
although some Of them may be forced
to sail without full cargoes. The only
important delay so far has been i'll the
case of the steamer K%roonland, which
was scheduled to sail Friday, but did
not get away until today.
