Advice to a Young Friend.

SO your school days are over and
before going from home to enter
business you wish some advice from
the paper you have read since you
were little boy. You are the only
young knight going out into the
world that has asked counsel Oh us,
but there may be others like you, so
we venture to publish our sugges-
tious that can do no harm and may
be some help.
1st. Be slow to form confidential
friendships with strangers. A man
is judged by the company he keeps.
There is a homely old saying that
one can not lie down with dogs and
get up without fleas. Bad habits
are just as contagious, catching, as
small pox. measles and scarlet fever.
2nd. Be careful of health. You
will need all your young vigor be-
fore you get through life. Sleep
eight hours night, eat enough but
not too much and take enough eXer-
else to keep body and brain healthy
and active.
3rd. You will expect your en-
ployer to pay you what your services
are worth. If he is an honest man
he'll do that. If he is not honest
quit him and get another place or
DO nothing. 1t will be as much your
duty TO give him value in service
for the salary he pays you. BE as
honest as he is.
4til. Keep on the look out for
better pay or position. You'll get
it if you deserve il. If your en-
ployer does not give you a boost
there will be others ready to take
you away from him, provided you
make good.
5th. Save part Of your salary.
so that you will have something to
start business of your own. Don't
be a miser. A stingy man is mighty
little better, if any, than a spend
thrift.
9Th. Above all things don't get
conceited, imagine yourself fully
competent to hold your own in the
game of life with players who have
had long experience and who have
over powering capital and credit.
Many of the great fortunes of the
present time were made by breaking
beginners. Big head has spoiled
many promising career.
7th. In case OF doubt think what
your mother would have you do, and
you'll not go wrong Wishing you
good fortune we will he glad to hear
from You from time to time, as your
leisure and inclination may allow
YOU to write.

Have Had Their Day.

Many Western Republican papers
say that high protection and stand
patism have had their day, and that
the present tariff bill if passed will
bring on political revolution. They
say that the Republican
party has control of both Senate
and House, consequently is held re-
sponsible. The fact that certain Re-
publican senator's oppose many Of
the propositions advanced by the Re-
publican leaders, does not seem to
lessen the degree vi les sponSiDility.
rather to increase j.. We're the in
surgent senators to be joined by the
Democratic senator's, accountability
might be emphasized, but, at the
present time. the wavering OF the
Democrats is not much taken into
consideration. Dissatisfaction is
found among Republicans, and there
fore the political revolution threat
ening will largely obtain in the Re-
publican party. These newspapers
claim that the progressive element
of the Republican party has multi
piled more rapidly since this extra
session Of Congress assembled, than
during the whole Roosevelt admin
istration. The political revolution
threatening Is one of progress. OF

Bryan Gives Good Advice.

In an editorial in The Commoner,
Mr.. Bryan gives the Democrats OF
every congressional district in the
country good advice, which they
would do we'll to follow. Democrat
ic voters" he says, you can not be-
gin too soon to select candidates for
congress- In about year the CAM
paign will be on, and upon that cam
pain will largely depend the hope
of the party in 1912. Let those
Democrats who believe in pure and
undetiled Democracy get together in
each district and pick out a Demo-
crat who can not be bought or fright
ened. The trusts have steadily Sc
cured control Of some OF the con-
gressmen who were elected as Demo-
traits, and they will have the infiu-
ence of the trusts in securing a re-
nomination. The trusts can very
we'll afford to rut up the campaign
funds if they can control the con-
gressmen after election. The steel
trust, for instance, could put a mil
lion dollars into the congressional
campaign without missing it (and
it is only one OF many trusts). and
a million dollars would supply
hundred candidates with ten thou
sand dollars piece, or two hundred
candidates with five thousand a
piece When you see that a con-
grcssional candidate has money to
spend, find out where he is getting
it. Take it for granted that he can
not get money from a predatory cor
poration without promise, express
sed or implied, and that he will pay
the corporation back out of the poclh-
cts OF the people. We can better
afford TO have Republicans in con-
gress than observation-disclosures;
we can criticiSe Republicans and
make capital out OF their sGbSeryi-
cEcy 10 the trust, but when u DEM
ocrat becomes representative OF the
trusts, his sins have to be borne by
his party. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty Look up the record
of your congressman and hold him
to strict accountability. When
congressman forgets his constituents
he forfeits his right to their sup
port If he votes with the trusts
ignorantly he is too ignorant to be
a congressman; if he votes with the
trusts intentionally, he is not fit to
be congressman. No time is to be
lost: now is the time to organize the
real Democrats 10 secure congress-
men whose Democracy is real.

THE OLD APPLE TREE.
Over One Hundred Years Old and
Still Bears.

According to the Greer Observer,
there is an apple tree up in the High
land section that bids fair to vie
with the "Mecklenburg Myth, as one
of the boasts of the Piedmont. This
tree, which is as much of wonder
in it's way as the myth" is in diff
ferent manner, is located on the farm
Of Mr.. Walker Moon, one of the sub
stantiai farmers Of the prosperous
Highland section.
The tree is eight feet, nine inches
in circumference, and has a limb
six feet from the surface OF the
ground that is five feet eight inches
in circumference. There is also
hollow in the tree trunk in which
several of the biddies of Mrs. Moon s
poultry flock made their nest, with
such result that eeventy-tve eggs
were gathered therefrom this year
One hen determined to break all
records hatched out a brood OF fit-
teen chicks in this hollow.
But, this is not all. tradition has
it that in 1878 Mr. Bart Pennington,
who owned the property at the time,
made sixteen gallons of brandy from
the years crop Of apples. BY well
authenticated records the age OF this
remarkable tree is established a: l2S
years. 1t is still vigorous and will
produce a bumper apple crop this
season

He siienced more than one writer

In disc, sing the proposition for
the count.y people to vote $4,000
to helV build court house and
Jail at st. Matthews. Mr.. A. X.
Smoak charges that there is yelled
Effort to dncniye thr people, and w.
climates that. unless something is
done promptly the country will
have the court house and Jail to
build. He quotes Judge Watts as
saying that the town Of ST. Mathews
cannot legally be bonded for court
house and Jail. We have heard a
good many of the country people of
Calhoun county express themselves
shout the matter, and unless they
vote very different from the way they
talk. they will never vote to bond
the county to build q court house
and Jail. So if the st. Matthews
people want them they had better
go down in their jeans and build
them.

French capitalists are turning TO

Their experience with Russia in
which they have invested thousands
of millions Of dollars has been far
from profitable and naturally they
turn 10 countries where the prospect
is more inviting. On sentimental

probably find Canada with it's rapid
