Make Home Happy.

We often read how the wife is to
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 a kiss. The house must be al
ways smiling in it's 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 of
fine clothing for the family need. Yet
ne is cross and surly as a 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-
ton Of the food will not suit his fas-
tidious taste.

Tho 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 seri-
ous and careful consideration on the
part Of the leaders Of the people.
Heretofore too much attention has
been given by the politicians to ques-
tons that are purely political and
frequently to questions that were ell
together the %outgrowth of fractional
differences. The time for a change
has come and the very first thing
that should be arranged is an equit-
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 whiskcy 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. 1t 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 n farm to another and this
disposition is fostered and encourage
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 n another's hands. This is
the only way to meet the present
emergency until the Legislature car
meet and enact q new labor law.

a Chat With Our Young Men.

Boys, let us be mon. Let us be
honest, earnest, young men and VIC
shall then be noble men. Nobleness
ana ,gentleness are not n 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 trucst 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 lettering, 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
~ fast going down the emincnce Of
manliness.

OF home, with the helm Of the cradle

have left home and are wanderers in
the curious strangcness of q strange
land, unnoticcd, UNDECIDED, lonely
and weary, will we know of a truth
what a mother is. Then we feel that
she is good and we bless her.

Caused Him to Faint.

1t is getting quite common to con
Wet white men of murder in South
Carolina these days. Last week Jas.
w. Gallman was convicted Of muir
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 well 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 muir
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 Claimants 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
ne revived he was sentenced.

Through the Years.

AS we go forward and meet the
years, each is a messenger that tells
us a pleasant story of the land to
which we have taken up our pilgrim
age, and though we may not lay
hands on them and detain them, yet
they imbue us with happy thoughts
and pleasant memories, that clOthe
each coming messenger in halo---like
garments Of smiles and beauty.
The journey of life is but short,
but it il. long enough to teach us the
idlcncss and littlcncss of things earth
~. and that II earthly tabernacle
is far too narrow to behold the invis-
ible fire of immortality that pulses
through our being, or ven topermit
it to shine forth in that brilliancy
that it so much longs for.
Life is as beautiful as a panorama
that moves on to the great and final
climax, when the curtains are drawn,
and the marvellous beauty of the un-
iverse opens with endless vistas of
glory upon u enlarged sights, and
the dreams of the past are paled
from view in the light of the never
ending present.
The toy, the sword and the toy
make up the sum of our existence,
for the old and young are nearest
heaven. Prattling childhood and old
age walk hand in hand, and laugh
and gamble and make pretty speech
es to the bright birds and butter
flies, for the veil of time if but a
mist to the right and left of them,
and love and innocence stand like
chcrubs by the cradle and the grave.
