DON'T WHINE.

Don't be whining about having a fair chance. Throw sensible man out of the window, and he'll fall on his feet and ask the near est way to his work. The more you have to begin with the less you will have in the end. Money you earn yourself is much bright CT than any you get out of dead mems bags. A scant breakfast in the morning of life whets the ap- petite for feast sour apple will have the more relish for 8 sweet one. You present want will make future prosperity all the sweeter. Eighteen pence has set up many pedler in business, and he has kept his carriage. As for the place you are cast in, don't find fault with that; you need not be horse because you were born in a stable.
 If a bull tossed a man of metal sky high, he would drop down in to good place. A hard working man with his wits about him will make money while others will do nothing but lose it. As to the little troubles, who expects to find cherries without stones or roses without thorns7 Who would win must learn to bear. likeness lies in a bed sick of the mulligrubs, while industry finds health and wealth. The dog in the kennel barks at f1eas. and the hunting dogs not even know that they are there. Laziness waits till the river is dry, and never gets to the market. "Try" swims it, and makes all the trades. "Can't do it" would not eat the bread cut for him, but "Try" made meat out of mushrooms.

Yes, when we consider that so vast number of our young peo- pie, especially the boys, make such lamentable mistakes, we are led to reflect. The boys, our boys, how soon they become restive under the restraints of home, and deter ime to become independent, and go out to mingle with the promis- cuous crowd, become familiar with its ways, listen to its oaths, its songs, its obscene jests, learn to smoke, to chew, to drink, to gam ble; associate with evil compan- ions and at last crazed by the dev- il rum, commit some overt act that brings them down to shame, and disgrace falls on those who love them best. All who fill our jails and stand beneath the shadow of the gallows, have once stood where you are standing now.

A MEAN MANS THOUGHTS.

Some times we wonder what a mean man thinks about when he goes to bed; when he turns out the light and lies down; when the darkness closes in around him and he is alone and compelled to be honest with himself. And not a bright thought nor a generous impulse, not manly act, not a word of blessing, not 6 grateful look, comes to bless him again. Not a penny dropped into the outstretched palm of poverty, nor the balm of a loving word dropped into an aching heart; no sun beam of encouragement cast upon struggling life, the strong right hand of fellowship reached out to help some fallen man to his feet, when none of these things come to him as the "God bless you" of the departed day, how he must hate himself! How he must try to roll away from himself and sleep on the other side of the bed ! When the only victory he can think of is some mean victory, i'll which he has wronged a noighbor. No wonder he sneers when he tries to smile. How pure, and fair, and good, all the rest of the world must look to him, and how cheerless, and dusty, and dreary, must his own path appear. Why, even one lone, isolated act of meanness is enough to scatter crumbs in the bed of the average, ordinary man, and what must be the feelings of 8 man, whose life is given up to mean acts! When there is so much suffering, and heartache, and misery in the world any how, why should you add one pound of wickedness or sadness to the general burdeni Suffer injustice a thousand times rather than commit it once.

ONLY HAD CAPITAL.

Young man, you already have capital. You have hands, feet, bone, brain, muscle, health and are not these capital9 What more capital has God given to anybody.
 "Well, if I only had a few thousand dollars in cash capital. :" But these are better than cash capital, for no one can take them from you, and with these you can earn cash. Our men of wealth and influence did not start with any cash capital. They went to work with their blow, the hoe, the jack plane or broad axe, and in time their capital brought them rich harvest. An this is the rub, you don't want to work, you want money on credit, so you can play the gentleman and speculate and by playing vagabond. You want to marry a rich girl who will support you. You want to wear fine clothes and smoke cigars and be a gentleman of leisure.
 Shame on you, young man! Go to work with the capital you have, and you will make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot make money upon what capital you have, you could not if you had larger amount in cash. If you waste your present capital you would waste money if you had it. Then don't stand around 8 helpless fellow, waiting for something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do, and do it we'll. Always do your best, and if you manage your present capital we'll you will soon have plenty more to manage.

SUGGESTIONS FOR HUSBANDS.

Do not jest with your wife up- on subject in which there is danger of wounding her feelings. Remember that she treasures every word you utter. Do not speak of some virtue in another mans wife to remind your own of fault. Do not reproach your wife with per- sonal faults, for, if she has sensi- bility, you infict wound difficult to heal. Do not treat your wife to inattention when in company; it

KINDNESS UNSPOKEN.

Do you know the world is full of kindness that was never spoken and that is not much better than no kindness at all. The fuel in the stove makes the room warm, but there are great piles of fallen trees lying on rocks and tops of hills where nobody can get them; these do not make anybody warm. You might freeze to death for want of wood in plain sight of these fallen trees, if you had no means of getting the wood home and making 8 fire of it. Just so in family; love is what makes the parents and children, the brothers and sisters, happy. But if they take care never to say a word about it; if they keep it profound secret as if it were crime, they will not be much hap pier than if there were not any love among them; the house will seem cold, even in summer; and if you live there you will envy the dog when you call him "poor fel' low"

Uncle "Jesse" is modest as almost all truly great persons are, and though he prefers to be Ia pro- phet in his own country" never the-less his fame has spread abroad, and on most any of these pleasant evenings there may be found a large and appreciative audiance in Smith & Morehead's S drug store, where under the spreading artificial palms this master bowman pours forth his soul in melody. Although Uncle "Jesse" shines forth like star of the first magnitude, or blazing comet with four seperate and dls- tinct tails, there are others who round out the James Philonar- monic Orchestra to perfection, and these are: Hon. c.

Bringing Immigrants South.

1t may be safely estimated that
between 15O, 200 and 100000 set
lers have been attracted to the
South, and that between 100000
and 100000 acres of land have
been bought by them during the
past ~ months. This estimate is
based upon reports furnished by
representatives of leading railroads
operating principally in the Soath
and they reveal most gratifying
results of the practical work which
the railroads are doing in the cause
of immigration to the South.
These results are, to large extent,
cumulative, flowing from persistent
work carried on in some instances
for 10 or 10 years and promising
even greater records in the near
future. They have gained through
following different policies. Some
railroads have lands of their own
which have been disposed of to
settlers of their own seeking or to
agents working in cooperation with
them. Other roads, not land hold
crs, have directed the new -comers
to available homes within their ter
ritory, and yet other roads have
combined industrial upbuilding
with agricultural development.
They have carried on campaign
in this country and in foreign parts
by means of the widespread circula-
ton of literature descriptive of the
advantages of the South and its
opportunities for the industrious
and thrifty, of exhibits of Southern
agricultural and mineral products
and of personal contact with heads
of families who would better their
condition in life. Estimating the
value of man to the community
at at least $1,000, the additions to
the South's wealth in one year
through the enegies of immigration
agents Of the railroads may be safe
ly estimated at s4OO,OOO,OOO, or
about one-third of the increase of
its wealth in goods and chattels
during the same period. These
additions mean a much greater rate
OF increase for the South in ma
terial things in the future and an
accelcration of the movement of
population from other parts of the
country to the South h.-Manufac
turers' Record.

1t is with pride that we call at
tention to manifestation of self
control on the part of our citizens
recently. Wild rumors of a "race
riot" at Carlisle reached Union
Thursday night about 10 o'clock.
Great excitement was the inevitable
result. Perhaps two score men,
young and old, went down with
Sheriff Sanders on the evening
train to help capture the negro,
Arthur Davis. He had shot and
killed an officer of the law, white
man and "A splendid young fellow,
and was fleeing from justice. 1t
was a dastardly crime. He was
captured and brought safely to
Union next morning and lodged in
Jail. Our young men and the older
ones, who went out to find the
murderer, captured him and did
IIlti llo SiOltllCe. n DTOCItT Oh Lle
murdered man was in the small
party that found the negro. Even
he did not offer to do violence to
the culprit. He and all the other
members of the party, and, indeed,
the large number of white men who
got together stood with the sheriff
and said: "The law must take its
course we have reverence for the
law" Sirs, this was the right
thing to do, and it speaks volumes
i'm defence of our honor and self
control. Brave men are every
where and always admired, even by
their enemies. And when, this
bravery is lodged in the hearts of
men who have an abiding faith in
the law and give it reverence, we
may feel that the State is in safe
hands.

EXCITING RAID IN GREENvILLE.
Revenue Officers Capture Three Men
and Destroy a Large Distiuery.

Greenville, May 2S.-The capture
of three men and the destruction of
a large illicit distillery was the re-
suit of an exciting raid by Deputy
Collector Merrick, Deputy Gosnell
and Constables Cooley and Gold
smith in the extreme upper portion
of Greenville county, about two
miles from Tryon, n. c., at an early
hour this morning. The officers re-
turned to the city this afternoon
with their prisoners, George Moss
and Joe Fowler and negro, named
Tom Adams, who were committed
to Jail in default of bail.
The raid was made short dis
tance from the site of the distillery,
which was captured on May 4,
when two moonshiners, who had
been captured by revenue men, were
rescued by a reinforced party of
moonshiners, who got the drop on
the officers. The negro who was
arrested today was one of the pris-
oncrs who was liberated on the for
mer raid, and the two white men
are identified as being members of
the party of blockaders who effected
the rescue.
The capture this morning was a
daring act on the part of the officers,
as the moonshiners were heavily
armed, and they had sent out word
that they would die before being
captured. The officers concealed
themselves near the still and waited
until daylight for the distillers to
arrive and begin work. The men
entered the still shortly after break
off day. The officers swooped down
on them without giving them a
showing for fight.
The still destroyed was one of the
largest that has ever been seen in a
blockade camp in this part of the
country, and two thousand gallons
Of beer were poured out. The cap
ture is considered one of the most
important that has been made by
the revenue men in some time.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1907-05-31

for the sternest bravery on the part
of the sheriff. When J. G. Long
was sheriff a mob came to the jail
and demanded a negro prisoner.
But the prisoner was not forthcom-
ing. Instead, Sheriff Long, clad in
his night clothes, standing at the
Jail entrance and with a revolver in
each hand, said: mo man can go
into this Jail except over my dead
body" And he was in earnest, as
the mob of 800 men realized, for
it gradually dispersed. Our present
sheriff is of the same stern metal.
His handling of the recent case was
work worthy of brave man. No
body in Union county doubts the
outcome of an effort to take pris-
oner from the custody of Sheriff
Sanders. He has been heard to say
in a quiet, steady voice, that he
would uphold the law if it cost him
his life; and nobody doubts his as
sertion.
We say it again: Union county is
to be congratulated upon the fact
that the men who have held the res
ponsible position of sheriff were
made of stern metal. The county
is to be congratulated upon the fact
that the present incumbent is man
who is not afraid to do his duty and
who will look into rifles deadly
mouth without tlinching.

Whiskey Situation in Charleston.

There has been a marked change
for the better in the whiskcy situa-
ton in Charleston during the last
ten days or two weeks. On account
of the vigorous efforts made by
Mayor Rhett two of the largest i'm
porters of Intoxicating beverages in
the city have been driven out of
business; the Clyde Steamship Com
pany has abandoned the policy of
delivering liquors to consignees, eek
cept through the regular channel as
all other freights are delivered; the
importation of liquor by the South
crn Railway has almost entirely
ceased and the Southern Express
Company is cooperating to the full
extent Of its ability with the NUM-
cipal authorities in a determined
effort to enforce the new law. There
Is very strong and growing feeling
on the part of the people in favor of
the new diSpcnsary law. The po-
lice are quite active in their efforts
to contiscatc liquors brought into
this town for illicit sale, and alto
gether the situation is better than
it has been for many years. We'd
nesday the manager of the Southern
Express Company here discharged
one of the employees of the com
pany because he had delivered a
supply of liquor to a blind tiger,
and with the cooperation of the
transportation companies and the
moral support of the people of the
community the municipal author
tiles feel confident that within a
short time the situation will be so
improved as to be entirely satisfac-
tory to the Governor of the State
and all aw-abiding citizens. News
