In everyone You meet. Some men
are influenced more by public opinion
than they are by the vioce of duty
within; but public opinion is tickle;
1T may be one thing today and en-
tirely a different thing tomorrow
but the voice of duty is ever the
same. The public that applauds to-
day may condemn the same act to-
morrow. The public may think they
know what your duty is better than
you do yourself, and may dictate to
day to find tomorrow that thew
were wrong.
The man who regards il right
while In Rome "to do as Rome does"
would steal if it were popular; kut
duty fully accepted and faithfully
met will raise man above every
thing that is mean and selfish and
impure, and make him feel that he
always has something great and
glorious and good to live for.
What the world needs today most,
is men who regard duty above every
thing, men who will dare to do their
duty regardless of what the conse-
quences may be; and the men and
women whose lives are counting for
something in the world are those who
care not whether men are standing
by to praise or to blame, but who
are going fearlessly ahead in the dis
charge of duty. 1t will doubtless be
helpful to have the advice and en-
couragement Of friends, but after all
1t is left largely for every man to
determine for himself what is his
! duty In regard to his course of action.

There is another side to Mrs. O.
H. p. Belmont besides that which has
led her to take a foremost place In
the ranks OF the militant suffragettes
and to espouse the cause Of striking
working women. She Is an ardent
lover OF children. Anything that con-
Germs the interests OF the little in
mates OF the cradle commands her

DUTY.

There seems to be no higher law
IN the Moral Realm than the Law
OF Duty, except it by the law of love
and they do not conflict. When one
does his duty he has also fulfilled the
law OF love; so we find the law of
duty supreme. Perhaps few men
have yielded perfect obedience to
this supreme law, but the noblest
characters in this world are those
men and women, in whatever walk
OF life, who are conscientiously try
ing to do their duty in their sphere
OF life regardless of what others NAV
say.
II, when the shadows gather around
You at the close of the day, you can
look to God and say, "I have sim
-cerely tried to do my duty today"
you can lay yourself down on your
couch and sleep with no regrets to
haunt you in your dreams.
The young man who starts out in
dife with a purpose to do his duty in
all things has made the first step
toward S ccess. No man can fail
who does is duty. 1t is not ALWAYS
the popular thing to do ones duty :;
but to have the consciousness of
night is better than the applause of
a tickle minded public, and he who
would be honest because "honesty is
the best policy would be dishonest
If he thought it would be better
policy. But to do ones duty, and
be honest when policy dictates other

From mistaken notions many
housekeepers wrap the ice in news

putting it in the ice chamber and then
marvel that though the ice keeps SO

COMFORT IN COLD HOUSES.

All We who dislike to get into a cold
bed and shivering half an hour this
cold winter, sit up and take notice!
Get two bricks, which can be had for
the asking at any place where they
are building, and keep them in the
oven when not in use or on the back
or range till near bedtime, then put
where it is little hotter, turning two
or three times that they may be even
ly heated through, wrap in a cloth.

SKIRT HANGING WITHOUT HELP.
Finish the skirt all but the hem,
put 1t on and adjust it properly. Take
yard stick, place one end on the
floor close to the feet and allow the
stick to rest against the front of the
skirt Mark where the top of the
stick comes on the skirt with chalk
and move the stick along to the side,
being careful to see that it is always
vertical and not slanting, and mark
with chalk again. Proceed in this
way until circle of chalk is COM
pleted around the skirt The skirt is
now marked an even thirty-six inches
from the floor. Take it off and place
It ON table and with the yard stick
mark off the desired length below the
circle of chalk For instance, II you
want your skirt two inches from the
floor, lay the yard stick on the skirt
with one end at the line of chalk
marks, and at the other end chalk
two inches less than a yard. This
makes perfect hanging skirt.-Mrs.

merly of Yorkville, but a resident of
Spartanburg since the latter part of
last December, committed suicide at
her home in Spartanburg yesterday
morning at $40 o'clock. by shooting
herself in the head with a revolver.
The sad news was received in York

tragedy, and the newspapers Of yester-
day afternoon and this morning con-
occurrence.
Mrs. Jennings had been in bad health
ever since she left Yorkville. and al
though she had grown very despOnd-
ent there was no reason to anticipate
any such desperate intention as final
ly developed After very bad night,
during which Mr.. Jennings gave her
all the attention in his power, she was
unable to leave her room yesterday
morning. Mr.. Jennings went down to
breakfast, leaving his wife in care of
her daughter. The sick lady sent her
daughter out of the room on preteXt
that she might he able to eat certain
dishes that she indicated. and a few
moments later two shots were heard.
On hearing the shots, Mr.. Jennings
Immediately began To investigate their
source, and finally coming into the sick
room found his wife lying on the floor
i'm pool of blood. and gasping away
her life The fatal bullet had taken
effect in her temple. The other had
lodged in the ceiling overhead.
Mrs. Jennings was twice married.
Her first husband was the late Mr.. f.
b. Beard of Yorkville, to whom she
bore four daughters. After several
years of widowhood. in October last,
she was again married, to NJ. B. Jen-
nings, Esq, of Yorkville. The family
moved to Spartanburg in December.
The funeral services We're held in
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church in
Yorkville this morning. and the inter-
ment took place in Rose Hill cemetery.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings have
scores of friends in Yorkville, and a
large number of sorrowing people join
ed the stricken family in the last sad
duties to the dead.

will be good.

on local politics, are now beginning to
outline how the various candidates are
going to stand after the first primary.
and all kinds Of views are being eX
pressed.
Most of the farmers are about
crops: but not a few who have been
held back by the grass are still stub
bornly determined to fight it out if it
takes all summer.
There has been wonderful develop
ment along the road from McCOnnells-

few years. Many good, substantial
buildings have gone up and land values
have advanced from 25 to 100 per cent.

IN moments of calm reasoning. Mr.
Featherstone does not think the use
of liquor is dehauching to public NOR
ais. He finds the use legitimate in
| Genesis. and he finds it legitimate at
this time, by law and custom, in every
civilized country on earth. And his le-
gal lore assures him that the legal sale
of that which is in universal legitimate
use is not "dehauching to public NOR
ais. s."-Columbia State.
| There is no escape from the cOnclu-
sion that the State is reasoning calm
~. but as to whether it is trying "a
reason sensibly is another question
We would he surprised at that kind of
talk. even from a reputable wholesale
| liquor dealer. much less a man like Mr.
| Featherstone. There is a legitimate
use for Intoxicating liquor just as there
are legitimate uses for strychnine. ar
Senic. cocaine. OPIUM etc, and the legi-
innate uses are incidentally referred
to at several places in the Bible. To
which of the Genesis references the
State refers as legitimate. we are left
only to our own assumption, and about
| the only thing that occurs to us as
properly fitting in with the general
tenor of it's argument is the story of
Noah's daughters making their father
drunk with wine and their purpose
therefor. If there was ever a more
perfect agency for the debauching of
public morals. we have never heard of
it, Every page of the history of the
South Carolina dispensary bears evil
dence of this fact, and we can conceive
of but few things more astonishing
than that a South Carolina newspaper
could even suggest otherwise. The
| time was when the use Of liquor was
| legitimate in every civilized country.
| The time was in this country when it
was a matter of course. for preachers
even to get drunk at weddings; but
that time happily has passed and
there is not a civilized government on
earth today that is not considering the
restriction of the liquor traffic as one
of the most serious questions with
which it has to deal. And if it is not
all because the liquor traffic is de-
hauChing To public morals, and to pub
| lie health. we do not know the rea-
son, for there is no other reasonable
| ground on which the traffic can or
could he fought.
