Some Good Things to Remember.

When your knife is dull, for
goodness sake sharpen it; use
piece of leather if whet stones
are scarce.
It is sometimes cheaper to buy
your own monkey wrench than
to hire plumber.
When the job is too much for
your hired man, roll up your
own sleeves and 60 to work.
Do not speak lily or critically
of the shortcomings of another,
but improve your own.
BE modest under all circum.
stances, especially when you
have done well or have "won
out"
When a task looks difficult, re.
member that you have plenty of
energy to master the situation.
When you know that you
have committed an error, face
the situation manfully and own
up.
In all respects do your best,
but do not look for praise or
applause.
The world admires the person
whose word and deed may be
relied upon.

A weak stomach means weak
stomach nerves, always. And this
is also true of the heart and kidneys.
It's pity that sick ones coutinue to
dru e the stomach or stimulate the
heart and kidneys. The weak nerves,
not the organs themselves, need this
help. This explains why DR.

promptly helping so many sick ones.

Advice TO YouBq Heh.

Remember, my son, you have
to work. Wheater you handle
a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow
or a set of books, dig bitches or
edit a paper, ring an auction bell
or write funny things, you must
work. If you look around. you
will see the men who are most
able tJlive the rest of their days
without work are the men who
work hardest. Don't be afraid
of killing yourself with over.
work. 1t Is beyound your pow.
er to do that on the sunny side
of 80. They die sometimes but
it is because they quit work at 6
p. m. and didn't get home until
2 a. m. 1t s. the interval that kills,
my son. The work gives you an
appetite foi your meals; it lends
solidity to your slumbers, it
gives you a perfect and grace
full appreciation of a holiday
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not
proud of them. 1t does not know
their names eveI it simply
speaks of them as"Old So-and.
Sos boys" Nobody likes them;
the great, busy world don'tknow
they are there. So find out
what you want to be and do. and
take off your coat and make
dust in the world. The buster
you are the less harm you will
be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep. the brighter
and happier your holidays and
the better satisfied the world
will be with you.

"CApT DO THE sun.
Nf. SteIl SbssS That Mr. Stars
Answer Vas Forced.

To the Editor of The News
and Courier: In your issue of
January 80 there appeared an
article signed by Stewart Starr,
of Lake City, in which an at.
tempt was made to advance Ger.
tain reasons why Rutledge
county should be created. The
opinion of MIR. Starr relative to
matters thatpertain to the ad-
vancement of any particular Sec
tion of the county is of little i'm
portance, but since he has seen fit
to publish in your widely read
columns statement that is with.
out foundation of fact, deem it
wise to take to take notice of it.
Among other things he said:
"The northern third in area,
with its one-half in people, is
tired of supporting the sparsely
settled poorer lands of the
Southern two-thirds area, by put
ting up three-fifths of the taxes
and getting virtually nothing in
the way of road improvements or
school advancement"
The northen part of the coun-
ty referred to pays taxes on 81,
800, 600 worth of taxable prop
erty. The southern part OF the
pays taxes on S3,2OO,OOO of tar
able property. There is a vast
I difference betweenthis statement
and the one made by Mr.. Starr.
The figures I here give were ob
tanned from the auditor, and Mr
Starr by his statement has shown
that he is either grossly igno'
rant on this subjector that he has
wilfully misstated facts.
The whole of Dir STAIRS article
can will be judged by the part
quoted. And here it might be well
to mention that he is not even a
citizen of Williamsburg county,
having only moved to Lake City
recently. He owns no property
in the county, except an interest
in a newspaper he is trying to
establish at Lake City,by boost.
ing the new county of Rutledge.
The spirit of secession was
not born in his breast, but is an
acquired taste, and heis at Lake
City to grind an axe
These brief statements think
sufficient to enlighten any one
who may have read and believed
the article referred to. Respect.
fully. PHILIP SToLL.

ate the fact that you criticise.
1t is unnecessary to produce
cumulative evidence to prove
it.
And now to the real reason
that l haved asked space in your
columns. LIT me quote you
again:
"That Sis, 900 proposition is
too thin to hold water or even
dispensary booze. The dispen-
sary has paid the county only a
little over $1,000 in eight months
of it's existence. That $4,000
statement is utterly unwarrant- t.
ed"
You refer to statements as
"stated by another, ""appeared
In print" etc. Ihave no patience
with equivocation or beating
around the bush in any shape
or form. When my statements
are attacked l prefer for the
people to know that I am re-
sponsible for the statement.
That "$l1s,ooo proposition" and
that 1856, 900 statement" both
appeared under my name, and |
here re.state them. BY what
authority do YOU dispute the
figures of the auditor? He said
the books show over $1lS,O00'
as expense account for 1907. Is
there a surplus: We think not,
but on, the other hand We are in.
formed that the county is $l2,-
900 in debt. And $4,993, lis pro.
perty at ls mills gives $4,000
taxes (in round numbers.) Sub
tract the direct tax 1854 ,00W
from tota. expenses and some.
thing like 1000 remains.
Where does it come fromH I'VE
were told from the dispensary,
fines, forfeitures, etc. You say
that it is too thin to hold water.
l ask that you pros your assert.
ion.
A very short time ago you
made a statement in print that
your new county would have
over $3,00O,OOO taxable proper
ty. With the force of my figures
before the public you we're fore.
ed to drop a million dollars. At
another time you stated that
your new county area paid
thrce.fifths of the taxes in this
county, whereas, the facts are
that your area pays less than
$24, ,00O in taxes, and the old
county (the part you designated
as the pauper section) pays over
$40, 900 in taxes. Is that a
specimen of the way you put
facts before the people? Or is
it that you simply got the cart
before the horse?
Therefore, We would suggest
that since yon show such won
derful propensity for getting
facts and figures wrong, that it
might be we'll for you to look
into the matter of expenses of a
county government, before you
characterize estimates by the
auditor of a county as "entirefy
unwarranted."
If AM in error l shall gladly
correct any wrong impressions
that l may have made. 1t is not
my purpose to misrepresent
anything, but to the contrary to
get correct, true, honest, open
statement of facts and figures
before the people.
Respectfully,
PHILIP SToLL.
