NEGROES BCNCOED.
An Old F7i,n-FIam Game Being
Worked Again.

The Columbia State says it has
been reported that there are a couple
Of Smooth crooks" in town who
work their game OF unsuspecting
negroes. The two artists are Of the
colo-ed race also and they go about
their work in a hackneyed manner
which, like other time-honored gags,
lands sucker" occasionally.
The two walk in among crowd %
negroes, and drop an old, worn
pocketbook in the crowd. Then one
OF them stoops and picks up the
pocketbook. which contains a $50
bill. The negroes who are in the
immediate vicinity of the pocket
book have their attention then called
TO the "and." The artists then pro-
ceed to tel 1.-The two or three negroes
that they will "dirvy" the money Il
there is nothing said about the find
ing Of the pocke1book. The unsus-
pecting agroes agree to this. o.
course, and then comes the division
Of the spoils.
After some figuring the exact
amount due each is obtained. The
5000 bill, which, of course, is fake
money, is handed over 10 one Of the
victims. He has to give back SIS

finish their work. They pretend
that they are going to a store t,

The victims never see the men again
It is said that several negroes who
have come to town and sold cotto-
have lost much money in this way.

Work makes men. Luck usual

wins. To succeed in anything
one must overcome obstacles.
Force and fiber are built by hard
ships. Grit is as necessary in the
making OF a man as gumption.
Hardships are not always handi-
caps. Often they are helps. You
will understand this better in TWEEN
ty years. Meanwhile permit one
who has lived that twenty years
and more to advise you in this.
Hang onto your job until you are
sure of a better one. Dependable
boys are in demand. And no boy
can be depended upon who does
not finish the task he sets bis hand

work, do it thoroughly. Do it
better than the average boy will
do it. In that way you will come
to be known as dependable boy,
And mind you this: Men every

gritty, dependable boys. The
sooner you let people know that
you are that kind of sboy, the
