A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien.
lists and the opponents of unbeliei
benefited themselves or humanity al
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast In the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category. foi
they are believers in the real sense ol
the word: they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
err Now. those who have disposed o,
the Bible and all evidences OF insplra
tion, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ae
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel

LOANS ARE NOT so BRISK.
Reserves In New York Banks Greater
Than LEGAL Requirements.

New York.-The statement of clear
ing house banks for the week shows
That the banks held s4,655,45O more
than legal reserve requirements. This
is an increase of $2.OO7,375 as com
pared with last week. The statement
follows:
Loans, $1,0S3. 3.O41 900, decrease of
S.. .GGO, 500.
Deposits, $1,O26, ,O47,SOO decrease
of $10,655. 500.

of $344,O0O.

crease of s6,99S.6oO.

81, ,342, 100.
Reserve, $2G1, 1,1G7, 400, a decrease of
$G5G,500.
Reserve required, $25G,511,9 $50, a de-
crease of $2.GG3.S75.
Surplus, $4,655,450, an increase of
81, ,O07,375.
The Financier will say:
Last weeks official statement OF the
New York associated banks, as was eX-
pected, was an improvement compared
with the exhibit of the previous week.
Though the cash decreased, the loss
thereof closely agreed with that which
was estimated upon the basis Of the
traccable movements of money during
the week. The required reserve was
reduced by quite an important amount
through decrease in deposits and the
result showed gain in surplus reserve
by comparatively substantial sum
The cash loss as officially disclosed by
the statement was s656,500. General
deposits fell on $10.G55.500. This
amount, however, was greater by
1-3 millions than the sum
Of contraction in loans and the loss OF
cash, and therefore the statement
made an unusually bad proof. The re-
deducting from which the loss of cash
as above left $2,007,375 as the increase
in surplus reserve to $4,655.500 Com
puted upon the basis of deposits. less
those of $33. .4S7 600 public funds, which
II may be observed. were augmented
by $972,000 during the week, the sur
plus is $13.027. $50. Loans were con
tracted by $5.GG5 800. rejecting liqui
dations of speculative accounts as the
result of the general decline in the
stock market. II is noteworthy that
loans are now greater than deposits
by 81 1-3 millions. or the maximum
OF the year: in 1906 such maximum
was 62it millions In December.

cts hard work." said the boss,
''to get anybody to do even the SIM
plest things really well and to keep
on doing them so; and I do love to
meet people who do the work they
have to do, no matter what it may be,
thoroughly, and who have, besides,
the sense and nerve to keep at it that
way steadily. It is a positive delight
tome to find a boy that makes a good
job of sweeping out the store. who is
not satisfied with giving it lick and
a promise-sweeping out the thick of
it from the middle of the foor-but
who digs into the corners and sweeps
clean along the edges and makes a
good, thorough, workmanlike job of it
all through. Eow, that sort of job of
sweeping is a positive help to the bus
mess; it makes the store attractive,
it actually gets into the atmosphere
of the place and helps to draw people
who would as surely be repealed, it
not driven away by a store ssslackly
kept. And now suppose this boy
keeps right on 80, unhinchingly; sup
pose he shows that he's really got the
stuff in him; why, he: gets the first
chance there is for a step up, for the
demand for men who can do things is
greater than the supply, and then if
he will only keep on doing things the
way he began, why he's got his future
in his own hands. And what is true
of the boy sweeping the store is
equally true of every other boy, in
whatever work he may Ike doing, alb
solutely; for the whole secret of sue
cess lies in doing whatsoever your
hands find to do well and: faithfully.
This is an old, old, oft tod story, I
know, but there's a fresh crop of boys
coming into the field daily. to whom,
ever, it must be new, and if. but one
of each day's crop would take the old
story to. heart the world In general
would be better off and the boy him

Cotton.

The farmers of this section have had
a tough time with their cotton this
spring. The weather has been. en-
tirely too cold and much of the young
cotton has died out causing a great
deal of replanting. It is still dying
and the weather is still cold. Cotton
yesterday was looking sick. The far
mers that We talked to yesterday are
very much discouraged over the out
look. The plans is very small for the
season with the replant cotton just
coming up good. But with war sea-
sonable weather from now on, a fair
crop can yes be made, provided the
fall is late.-Edgefield News.

FAKE DENTIST CAUSES
Wo&AN's DEATH.
Mrs. Corrie Berry, Of Newberry, the
Victim. Her Sister Narrowly
Escapes Same Fate-The
Doctor Arrested.

Mrs. Corrie Berry died yesterday
while having some teeth drawn by a
man named Clint Armstrong, who
passed off as a dentist. Mrs. Berry,
who is a widow and has one child,
boarded with Mrs. S. L. Price. Arm
strong went to the house to take out
her teeth, and gave her something
cocaine, .ch]oroform or something
else it is not known what-to dead
en- the pain. In a very short time
after drawing the teeth she began to
grow weak, and died very soon Of
heart failure-evidently the effect of
the drug administered.
The same man also drew a tooth for
Mrs. Berry's sister, Miss Victoria
Rivers, and she came near dying also
in fact it was thought she would
die; but the latest report is that the
doctors think she will survive.
Armstrong had been passing him
self off as a dentist, telling some that
he came from Greenville, others from
Whitmire. When he saw what he
had done he hurried away as fast as
he could, and it is thought he caught
one of the trains on the Southern,
but it is not known whether he went
east or west. kilograms were sent
