A Little talk to the Boys.

Sarodel's solution of the problem,
"Why Boys Leave the Farm" was sat
isfactory in the case of small boys. They
ought to be encouraged, as he says, but
at a very early age. / think after they
reach young manhood they leave for
various reasons; some have ability that
would never be rewarded on the farm,
and they know it. Others leave as if
to escape something-work, those who
have a wandering disposition, | suppose
to see the world. 1t is all very good
and should not be looked upon with
alarm, as it enables them to know them
selves; to know what they are best fitted
for. The world is the best school there
is: if one does not learn before, he will
when he is thrown in his own
away from home. l sometimes think
if a boy was made to leave homo when
he reaches the age of, say about Is, it
would be good for him, especially if he
was apprenticed at some good trade.
In the South the lack of migrants is
n cause of our boys migrating to town
Our fast growing towns have nothing
to feed on but the youngsters Of the
country. 1t was ever SO and ever will
be so until our statesmen secure imigra-
ton. However, a boy should consider
well before he gives up the old farm.
1t is the best place of all.
1t is well to go and try other things
and discover, if possible, what suits
you best. BY all means learn yourself;
discover every weakness, and begin as
soon as discovered to remedy and
strengthen the weakness. There is a
remedy for all things, and remember
that "no man is stronger than his weak
est point" If you have any nerve
sapping habits, for your own sake leave
them off. You have only to will strong
enough and you can accomplish any
thing.
But don't think small of the old farm.
Right there is happiness-health and
wealth too-if industry and ~up-to-datc
methods go hand in hand. On a good
old farm is a glorious place to live
close to nature-God's own sanitarium.

LAURENS, S. c., OCTOBER 9, 1907.
BUILD THE

We wish that a Confederate monu-
ment were erected in every public place
in the South. One hundred and fifty
years from now the history of the Con-
federacy will not be fresh in the ears
of the children. Even the youngsters
of the present generation have not that
understanding of and sympathy with
the motives which caused their fathers
and mothers to make unmeasured sac
riices in the great struggle for liberty
which those brought.up 20 years ago
have. 1t is hard for us who are older
to understand how the passing of
time dims the view of events and OBJ
scures their true outlines to the eyes
of the little ones. We hear a great
deal about the need for school books
written by Southern men and it is not
overestimated, but a monument to the
Confederate dead on our Public Square
would be of more value than a history
written by a Southern man and studied
in the Laurens schools, for as long as
the monument should stand it would
testify to posterity that the people of
Laurens are proud of the record of the
county in the Great War.
The building of this monument is a
duty which we cannot avoid and we
hope that the necessary money will be
contributed promptly and willingly.

A SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.

Joel Chandler Harris, the author of
"Uncle Remus," has established a
magazine in Atlanta called "Uncle
Remus." 1t is published monthly, it
Is illustrated and the subscription price
is only n dollar a year. 1t is in every
way as excellent as any Of the North
ern magazines; it is in no sense a
cheap. second class publication and its
contents are written by authors of stand
ing in the literary world. 1t is, so far
as we know, the only Southern maya
zine that has been founded in many
years which aspires to a high place in
contemporary literature. Southern
writer's, such as Mr.. Harris, Thomas
Nelson Page, Harry Stillwell Edwards,
Miss Glasgow and others of the first
class have been compelled heretofore
to seek Northern n for the pub
LEGATION of their work and it should be
a matter of pride to every Southerner
that a magazine now exists through
which the distinctive literature of the
South may be given to the reading
world.
We wish that every family In Laur-
ems able to subscribe to any magazine
would, before taking any other, send a
dollar to "Unclc Remus," Atlanta. AS
everybody knows, it is a big undertake
ing to MAINTAIN q literary magazine
except in the largest cities, the centers
OF the advertising business, but this
n in Atlanta can be made a success
if IL shall receive the patriotic support
that it richly deserves from the South
ern people.
A well-to-do man who would like to
help in unfolding the honor of the
Southern country could do it in no more
effective way than by subscribing for
a number of the magazines for his
friends. Five dollars would give it 20
five families. "

Thousands of the most valuable and
faithful employees drudge out theis
lives because they are afraid Of Satur-
day nights. In other words, they shrink
from the responsibility of running a
business themselves because they don't
dare suffer the wear and tear of getting
together the money to pay off the hired
men, the employees. That is what the

of his thousands of brothers and cousins
and sisters and sons and daughters, so
that their families may have beefsteak
for breakfast during the coming week.
The men who boss this world are
those that rely on themselves and cut
loose, who wade through the morasses
and who sweat and bleed, that Brown,
Smith and Jones and the rest may have
no harder problem to solve than so di-
viding $25 a week that the strips
will cover the bills of the school-book
seller, the butcher, the milliner, the
shoe man, and the grocer and settle the
life insurance premium, usually thirty
days after it is due. 1t is a safe bet
that zone of Many" is behind on his

Many of the bold spirits who are not

capable of succeeding for themselves
who from week to week postpone cut

they want the firm" to bear that fear

ing the salaries and keeping the on

Most men who are born to be captains
in this country of limitless opportunities
get their shoulder straps-by fighting
for them.

TO WIN SHOULDER STRAPS.

The following suggestive extract is
from a letter in the New York World:
Under the above heading appears in
your issue of Sept. 20 a letter from
Eight Till Six complaining that the
young men of our times look for easy
hours. While no doubt there is room
for such complaints, | am only one of
many on the other side, having honestly
and conscientiously spent my ten best
years in the belief he eX~prCsses-that
is, looking forward, sticking to the
position, always placing the concerns
interest above my own

last at night. even taking work home.
l AVE in some cases stopped, in other
cases prevented, leaks and Irregularities
in different forms, thereby saving many
thousands of dollars, all in the belief
that serving my employers we'll would
bring its reward. Instead, l am after
all this time getting only $25 per week,
although the firm will readily admit |
am valuable. But when an opening for
n better position occurs it is always for
some relative or friend of some of the
members of the firm. Now the ques-
ton arises, What I'm | to do?"
The trouble with this middle-aged
man is that he lacks pluck. There are
many like him-he signs his letter cone

a salary strives to do his utmost for the
firm. He takes for granted that the
firm will promote him and finally make
him a member of the firm perhaps; but
that does not always happen.

of salary lest he be told to leave. Then
what should he do? If he is the right
sort, he will start a firm of his own.
If he is the right sort, tit seems that
this man has not saved a dollar) he has
alread saved a little money-something
from his salary every year. This he
will use in starting a business. If it is
not enough to begin with in New York,
he will carry his family to Doko or
Roundtop or some other village where
he may rent a house for $15 or $40 a
month and where a shop may be estab-
lished for $500 or $40, 600. Roundtop

Beauty of Old People.
LeesVillc News,

Men and women make their w
beauty and their own ~ugliness. Lord
Lytton speaks Of a man who was
"uglier than he had any business to
be-" and if he could but read it every
human being carries life in his face,
and is good looking or the reverse as
has life has been good or. evil. On our
features the fine chisels of life and
emotion are eternally at work. Beauty
is not the monopoly of blooming young
men and pink and white maids. There
is a slow-growing beauty which only
comes to to perfection in old age.
Grace belongs to no period of life, and
improves the longer it exists.
