New County Badly Beaten.

There seems to have been 4 de-
cided reaction from the new county
craze that was on some time ago.
The proposed new county of Edisto
was badly beaten all along the line.
It only got nine votes in Orange
i.urg county out Of possible hun
drrd or more. The vote in Aiken
county was nearly evenly divided.
while in Lexington county the pro-
POSED lew county got only eighty
votes out of possible three hundred
votes. Instead. Of getting a two
thirds vote in its favor. as is ~
qrired by law, there was recorded
against the new county nearly a
t"o-thirds vote. This election puts
Edisto county to sleep for all time.

(. HAPPY HOMES
Have Wonderful influence and Is q
Power for Good.

There are many happy homes.
thank God, In every comrunity, and
when they exist there goes out from
them blessed influence, which can
hardly be oyerestimated. "a real
home with a mother in it," whose
hospitable doors are ever open to
those not 80 blessed, is wonderful
power for good. If the boys and
girls are made welcome they will not
be slow to tell it and there will be
an attraction in the sweet amenities
Of home which will draw them from
other and less holy influences. Tt ic
not possible in this word so full Of
care and trouble to be always merry.
It is quite possible to he always lov-
ing and kind. If the business cares
of the father and the never ending
struggles of the mother together with
t!irt and disorder. cooking, washing,
ironing and mending. cannot be BAN
ished they can be wonderfully toned
down by the loving sympathy and
help. which each member of the
household can and should give the
other. A home where the golden
rule is lived is the nearest possible
approach to heaven. The day comes
all too soon when the household is
scattered-the boys and girls, alas!
girls no longer-are gone to make
homes for themselves, elsewhere:
when some perhaps, are laid away
from our sight, out Of reach of kind
words or helpful deeds. Happy are
we If no sorrowful thoughts haunt
US, of hasty words and unkind deeds.
II only pleasant memories remain.
We may, If our means allow, make
our homes beautiful and attractive,
and it is we'll to do so. But without
the true spirit Of home, 1t will be a
cheerless and desolate mockery-
while the humblest cottage where
love dwells and kindness reigns. may
most beautifully exemplify the sweet
ness and blessedness Of home. I"

many people at the beginning Of the

scattered in every direction. Far
better make but one or two resolu-

SOME GENTLE HINTS.
To Those Subscribers Who Are Lit
tie Behind.

There are some good folks who
have peculiar ideas about a news
paper. They regard it, not as busi-
ness, but as a convenience. If the
paper reaches them late, or fails to
give every item of news or its con-
duct toward them is in a manner
they do not like, they then very
properly make a business matter of
it, because they have bargained for
something they are not getting. They
make these issues every day in the
year, except the first day, when the
business idea is forgotten, and the
only thing uppermost Is a plea to
get out of paying what they honestly
owe the paper.
These same men will meet the
newspaper man with smile, Offer
him soft drink or cigar, and then
expect him to say in his paper that
he is the most enterprising and pro-
gressive citizen in the state. That
is their idea Of business. Now the
newspaper is business. 1t is not
a glory making machine. 1t can no
more live on sentiment, than can lis
employees. 1t may surprise you, but
type settlers don't work for nothing
and no amount of persuasion will
make them do it, for the simple rea-
son that, like the balance Of us, they
need little money to keep the wolfe
away.
1t is true you may only owe us a
few dollars on subscription, yet If
several hundred subscribers reason
like you, that we collect the news
and print it just for the fun Of 1t,
we would soon be in the hole. The
newspaper business is made up OF
small things, and it Is such items as
subscriptions which, If collected, en-
ables the management to improve its
service and pay of all obligations
promptly. but which If deprived OF
for trivial reasons, makes the cash &C
count short and the newspaper man
has to grovel along under a weight
of about SIXTY pounds to the square
inch. Perhaps you have never given
thought to our subject on this line.
If not, then, If this article serves to
call your serious attention to it, its
mission has been accomplished.
