Success.

A Boston firm recently offered a
prize forlthe best definition OF what
constitutes success. A Kansas woman
was awarded the prize, and this was
her answer:
He has achieved success who has
lived well.i laughed often and loved
much: who hasIg aimed the respect OF
intelligent men and the love of little
c~hildren:lwho has filled his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left
the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a per-
feet poem or q rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty ~orllfailed to express it; who
has Away splooked for the best in 9TH
ers and given the best he had: whose
life was ar inspiration; whose memory
q benediction."

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10. 1907.
Il STATES N

Under the provisions Of a law en-.
acted by the tenth assembly, and which
goes into effect July Is, the state
measure is required to collect and &C.
count for interest upon public funds
OF which he is official custodian. The
law was passed in response to public
demand for such legislation, but the
reason for making it effective at so
late a date has never been satisfac.
torily explained.
In the meantime, it is observed by
the Yellowstone Journal that the
states money is unproductive. The
large cash balance to the credit OF
Montana citizens apparently has no
earning power: or, If it has, its owners
are given no Information regarding
that fact. The Miles City newspaper
expresses surprise over this peculiar
situation, its remarks being to this
effect:
The Helena Independent OF recent
date is At hand, bringing TO a curious
public the official publication Of the
state treasurer's quarterly report OF
the quarter ending May 3lst, 1907.
The report presumes to show In bulk,
all the financial ran actions of the
state through the treasurer's Office
during the period covered by it, and
the curious will look 10 vain for any
record OF interest on public funde
covered into the treasury, lfor it is not
there.
This undoubtedlySis t be accepted
- . high endorsementlof certain gen.
tiemen who have, on OCCASION, since
this matter OF interest on the public
funds has been SUPP a%sseverated
with every appearance of truth, that
there was NJ interest being psid on
the treasury surplus: that it was an
indolent sndIlslothful fund, earning
uothing, and this report Of State
Treasurer Rice most certainly con-
firms the assertions OF these gentlemen
Qho knew.
The report also shows that there is
deposited in thirty.odd banks in the
state, the handsome total OF 1884,.
1924 which-of course-the local
banks enjoyItheuuseOof without inter
est. Still theyimake no allowance fol
this in their dealings with their III
toners, and as it is "our'' money tina,
they are thus using without charge, i,

Lynchburg, April 5.-At a meeting
of the citizens Of this place on the
afternoon Of the Sd instant, Mr.. John
NJ. Miller and Messrs. T. N. Griffin,
S. W. Frierson, G. w. Stokes and r.
NJ. Mcintosh were unanimously nom
mated, respectively, for intendent
and wardens. The town is to be con-
graduated for selecting such a body
Of men for the management of the
town affairs. Messrs Griffin and
Stokes are members of the present
council. Intendent NJ. L. Mcintosh
declined accepting for another term,
he having served without opposition

Intendent-elect Miller is an expe-
rienced man in official matters and,
with an able set Of wardens, we look
for good results in the future.

causing the water which flowed
therefrom to turn almost inky black.
Black water flowed from the pump
for ten or fifteen minutes. Miss Hin

the lightning was leaping seemingly

At a meeting Of the council hesd
on Tuesday afternoon it was decided
TO call an election for Monday, April
18th. to decide the tie. 1t appears
that a mistake was made in the min
utes Of the meeting when the citizens
were in convention to nominate
ticket. w. N. McElveen, the inde-
pendent candidate for mayor, was
supposed to have been nominated for
a member of the board Of health. MT.
McEIveen says that he knew nothing
about his name being mentioned as
member on said board as he came
out later for the Office of mayor.
Therefore at the election held on
Monday. April 18th, one member OF
the board Of health will have to be
elected also.
The election to be held on said date
will take place at the Office Of Cooper
& Muldrow, with the following gentle
men as managers: c. n. Sprott' w.
B. Cooper, F. J. Bass.
