able bodied and healthy and who
J. hangs around and does nothing and
lets some body else support him. But
iOf course there are no such cattle in
Newberry. They are all removed
from here since the vagrancy law has
been enforced and we have only
those who are at work. Why I would
pick cotton or hire to Monroe Wick

not find anything else to do. Yes,D sir,
do something, that [ would. This is
not a good world for idlers. It is not
part of the plan of creation for
healthy men to be idle.
Just look what Judge Lovett has
done and he did it by hard work ond
keeping everlastingly at it. Of course
he had brains but he put that brain
to work. He started as a railroad
clerk at forty dollars month and
read Law at night. And [ bet my last
summers hat that he was not one Of
those clerks who Was all the time
looking at the clock to see when he
had prt in tine requisite number of
hours to entitle him to his pay. Now
he succeeds the great railroad mag
nate. Hartman. And before this he
was his confidential counsel with a
salary Of fifty thousand a year. There
are wonderful possibilities in this
country for the boy who is not afraid
to work.
The MAN who succeeds IS not the
one who stands around and waits for
some great work to do but goes at
whatever turns in his way and goes
at it like lie meant to do it. The man
who can not do small things we'll will
never be able to do great things.

That reminds me that ] used to
hear my grandmother say that there
was a rule among the Dutch of the
Butch Fork that they would have
rollcake or waffles only on Wed

you know, and they were a mighty
hearty and bale race Of people and
generally lived to a ripe old age and
we're a frugal and law abiding peo-
pie who attended to their own bus
mess, too,. and didn It, bother other
people, but they liked their beer and
their toady. But times have changed
nightly since then, but I doubt if
the people have grown any better.
