Make Home Happy.

We often read how the wife is tc
make home the brightest spot on
earth. She is always to wear a cheer.
full countenance, as well as the clean
est of dresses and collars; to have
becomingly arranged hair, and ever
to meet her other half at the door
with kiss. The house must be al
ways smiling in its orderly way;
children ditto; baby no exception to
the general rule.
Now the great wonder is, has the
husband nothing to do in this mat
ter, Of making home happy? To be
sure he may do a great deal towards
making a home. He may build the
house and furnish it in princely style.
He may furnish an abundance of food
for the table--buy any amount os
fine clothing for the familyneed. Yet
he is cross and surly as swapping
turtle, or unsocial, or careless in his
habits, or unsympathizing with his
wife and little ones.
All that the wife can do will not
moke the home an agreeable one.
Neither can a wife be happy with a
husband who is addicted to finding
fault with his bread-and-butter. She
may try ever so hard to please him,
yet when he sits down to meals, she
lives in constant fear that some por-
tion Of the food will not suit his fas-
tidious taste.

Caused Him to Faint.

It is getting quite common to con
vict white men of murder in South
Carolina these days. Last week Jas.
W. Gallman was convicted of mur:
dering Sims Gilmore at Union and
sentenced to fifteen years in the pen
itentiary. The result Of the trial was
a great surprise to the lawyers of
Gallman as we'll as to himself.
His attorneys requested that the
sentence be made as light as possible.
Judge Prince ordered Mr.. Gallman to
stand up and receive sentence. Be-
fore naming what the punishment
should be, he gave him quite a talk
in which he recounted the principal
facts Of the case, and said that he
would not have been surprised if the
verdict had been murder, or mur-
der with recommendation to mercy,
and that he did not feel that he
would be doing his duty to impose
as light a sentence as Gallman's at
torneys evidently wished, but that
he must give him the maximum of
thirty years.
On hearing these words cold per-
spiration broke out on Gallman's
brow, and as he wiped it off he grew
faint, tottered, and fell and was
thought to be dying. This caused
considerable excitement among the
female members of the family. He
was then taken to the judges room
and given medical attention. After
he revived he was sentenced.

Playing With Fire.

We understand that one Of the
merchants at Cope got letter post
marked Orangeburg and signed
The Negroes of South Carolina" on
last Saturday containing the most in
cendiary language. The writer Of
the letter said the negroes intended
to poison and burn out all the white
people in the State. No doubt the
letter wins written by some fool who
could not be induced to risk his
worthless carcass in any sort of a
row, but still the white people in
that section should be on the look
out, as the threats in the letter shows
what is in the minds Of some negroes
at least. We have no idea that the
better class of negroes would sane
ton such a letter and they should not
be held responsible fer the threats
it contains. The writer of this letter
is playing with fire, and he would
soon find it out if he was known.
The trouble about all such foolish
letters as this one is that ilno :ent
people might get hurt through them

DASTARDLY CRIME.
Fiend Enters Home and Gives Chior.
oform to Asheville Girl.

A dispatch from AshevilIe to The
State says: When the family Of Mr..
j. A. Wild, living on Hill street,
awoke Monday morning, it was dis
covered that some fend had entered
the house during the night, edminis-
tered chloroform to Mr.. Wild's
daughter and attempted TO set fire
to the bed on which she slept. Moth
ing Of value was taken from the
house, except a watch belonging to
Henry Wild, q son.
The family did not retire until
after midnight, and When Mr.. Wild
arose this morning he found the.
doors Of his house open and the place
strongly filled with the odor of chic
reform. Upon going to the room Of
his daughter he found her ia a deep
sleep and had much difficulty in
arousing her. On the bed was a
small bundle Of rags tEicklv satura-
ted with chloroform, while her cloth
ing and hair smelt strongly of the
deadly drug. A large number of half
purnt matches were strewn on the
bed in which she slept and the bed
ding was scorched in a number Of
places.
A bloodhound was taken to the
scene of the attempted crime and ap-
parantly found a strong scent, which
led the officers through nearby
cornfeld, where a watch fob was
picked up, which had been attached
to the watch stolen from Henry Wild,
which indicated that the miscreant
mad passed that way. The trail was
ater lost, owing to many people hav-
ng crossed and recrossed it, thus in
with the dog.
No further clue has been discover
ID, although the search sill continu-
IS. Should the miscreant be discov-
,red, his life may pay the penalty for
lis daring crime.

The Labor Question.

1t has been frequently asserted
that the two great issues now before
the people of South Carolina are the
tax and the labor questions. Each OF
these questions deserves most serl-
Gus and careful consideration on the
part of the leaders Of the people.
Heretofore too much attention has
been given by the politicians to ques-
tions that are purely political and
frequently to questions that were al :
together the outgrowth Of factlonal
differences. The time for change
has come and the very first thing
that should be arranged is an eqult-
able labor law. that will protect the
employer and the employee.
The most careful and conservative
business men of the state should be
called on at this juncture to suggest
reforms which should be made IN the
tax laws and in the labor laws Of the
commonwealth. The opportunity is
presented, since the whiskey question
is not now an issue, for the present
legislature to place upon the statute
books the legislation which is need
ed, and if it is not done within the
next year this matter should be and
doubtless will be made the paramount
issue in the next election or the next
two elections. The chance is going
to be presented to some man to blaze
the way in this trail. It will be a
great pity if these questions are not
considered purely from a business
standpoint.
The only remedy for the present
condition is the enforcement of the
statute prohibiting the enticing Of
labor under contract. If this can't
be done by law, it must be done by
moral suasion. The difficulty in the
present labor situation is chiefly the
tendency of the negroes to move
from one farm to another and this
disposition is fostered and encourag-
ed by the less scrupulous employers
who do not regard the golden rule in
business. They pick up and go on
the least pretext. This must be stop
ped by all farmers meeting on a com
mon ground and resolving not to
employ one another's hands. This is
the only way to meet the present
emergency until the Legislature can
meet and enact a new labor law.

A Chat With Our Young Men.

Boys, let us be men. Let us be
honest, earnest, young men and we
shall then be noble men. Nobleness
and gentleness are not one and rare
ly do we find them living in peace
with each other. We may never be
what the world calls great, but we
can all be noble men, and our noble
ness can commence this very hour
and just where we are.
A young mans first and truest act
Of nobility is to love, honor and pro-
tect his parents. When he becomes
too proud to be seen walking as a
staff to a tottering, helpless father,
or to stand by the bedside of her who
is waiting a moment this side of the
river to catch one more gaze, through
the fading shadow Of the past, of her
little boy lost in manhood, he is sure

have left home anc are wanderers in
the curious strangeness Of a strange
land, unnoticed, unheeded, lonely
and weary, will we know of a truth
what a mother is. Then we feel that
she is good and We bless her.
Never can we repay our mothers
kindness. Her withered form and
her silvering braids shall be defend
ed till that day coneth when He shall
make up His jewels---and then, we
ween, Heaven will know no kinder,
no brighter, no purer angel than she.
