MAKE DUTY BURDEN
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH
CONSCIENCE.
Mr.. BiIltops Pursues the Subject for
Little, with Concrete Illus
tration-Few Seem to Be
Perfectly Balanced.

DUTY sits light on some, but" said
Mr.. Billtops, how hard on others.
Now, you take Mrs. Billtops, what
10 you think she said to me the other
, lay? That she was afraid she
wouldn't have everything cleaned up
when she died.
She don't mean, you know, that
she wouldn't leave everything clean;
but what she meant was that she was
afraid she wouldn't leave everything
n order and all the mending done
and all that, so that 1t all could be car
led along easily without her; that
she wouldn't leave everything all
cleaned up.
What do you think of that for an
Exaggerated, burdensome sense of
duty?
I've tried to reason with Mrs Bill
tops about this. but it's no use. She
Toes her duty as she sees it, and by
her light her duty is plain; it is to
work, work, not for herself but for
others.
she is very lenfent with everybody
else, but she never spares herself
Whatever work there is to be done
she considers it her duty to do. and
so she labors morning. noon and night.
and day after day. have told her
that I'd like her to be slack for time,
downright slack that she ought to let
things go, occasionally anyway, and
rest little; but she says that would
never do: that if she once let things
go she'd never catch up. And as it is,
as | told you. she's afraid she won't
leave everything cleaned up when she
dies!
And so she works on; never salts
fed unless everything is done just so,
and always at it; sel&denying always,
but with that sense of duty always
wearing on her, impelling her always
to work. work, work. And suppose
there are $4,000 900 other women that
work in Just the same way, though |
am not 50 sure, either, than any one
of them works just as Mrs. Billtops
does. so unselfishly and so devotedly.
Il would give $14.50, or more. if
could stop her. but she says We are
Door. and the work must be done,
though ! know it would be Just the
same if we were rich, that her sense
IF duty would still Cypress her, for
she's built that way. Duty sits hard
on her.
"A grand thing il would be for all
of us if we could really know our duty
and could perform it faithfully to the
full, and yet not let it impose upon us
undue burdens, not let our sense of
duty harry us.
There are people now and then
to be met who, well knowing their
duty and performing il faithfully and
fully. nor failing ever 10 take up cheer
fully others burdens when they should,
yet know as truly what burdens they
may in all fairness and kindness de-
cline;s well balanced people these,
who see clearly and are not in doubt.
the few rare people who know what is
right and who are by that knowledge
guided, to their own great help and
no loss to that of all with whom they
may be associated.

For the past week we have been
having some fairly good weather,
which, think, was appreciated by
all.
On Thursday night: last an en-

written for last week. J


Editor COUNTY RECORD:-1ou
have always heeu so kind as to pub
lisn the letters of those away from
home, some for their first time, 9TH
ers for their last time-now may it
be that this will find it's way to tie
press and the hearts and homes of
those whom we have left behind. l
could not tell your readers anything
better than to say We all arrived
safely so far as l have been able to
learn. Most of the boys came in
last Tuesday and some on every train
since; 50 by this time the campus is
alive with jolly boys. About all the
old students are back and 90 many
new ones that it seems as if they
will take possession of the!campus.
At nine o'clock Wednesday morn.
ing the college bell sounded its first
notes of welcome and from all direc.
tious you could see the boys making
for the chapel. Some filled the
seats they had occupied before, 9TH
er scats were vacant, and some boys
sat where they had never sat before.
From the rostrum you could see new
faces, others familiar, aud among
them all were the dear old face and
nosry hairs of DR. James H Carlisle.
How glad We were to see him and
know he would be with Us another
year. In the announcements made
that morning, he gave us short but
pointed talk. The tears were hard
to keep back and how grand it would
have been if our parents had heard
bis talk.
The enrolment so far is over FIVE
hundred, including college aud fit
ting school. The total number here
last year was 46s, so from this you
see oar number is increasing every
year, and we hope this may continue;
for In the future, instead of saying
Wofford, We change her name and
say"Greater Wotford."
What long time it seems to the
Freshman to look ahead and think
that they have four long years to
roam over this campus and enter in
to the daily class room work. The
Senior looks back, sees his faults,
his mistakes. what grand oppor-
tunity he has thrown away, and says,
eff 1 could only call back few
years how much more could do for
myself" 1t is too late for him, for
as time moves on we must move with
it. Cheer up, boys, We must have
some kind of education to confront
the problems of the day. If you do
not want to study, force it upon
yourselves, for some day you can look
back to that time with pleasure.
Now, that my class Of forty has
only nine more short months when
some time past it was six years before
We could be seniors and that time
has passed like tale that is told,
we, the senior class, expect to grad
uate the largest and best that has
ever yet walked from under the
domes of "Old Woford."
Friday night, the faculty gave the
boys 6ne reception and 1 think it
was enjoyed to the greatest extent by
both old aud young students.
We note, since our return that
the houses on the campus have been
remodeled and it gives the campus
much better appearance.
My letter is growing too long and
I must now break it of right short.
Wishing you aud your readers the
very best,
| remain, sincerely,
