WANT A $4,000 JOBi
HERE ARE Walls HINTS

This is the age of the special
list. Money is no object.
There are no men so scarce to-
day as those who can fill the
high-salaried positions.
I have from twenty to thirty
positions open right now to fill
which I would gladly pay from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year.
The great hindrance to those
who might to-day occupy the big
places is the continued cry of
Where do" come in7"
The man who creates big stu
atoms in business does not need
to ask Where do 1 come in?"
He lands with both feet.
The one requisite to get high
salaried position is to do his
lower job better than any one.
There are plenty of vacancies
higher up.
The man on the firing line will
not seek the $4,000 job. but the
$4,000 job will seek him.

the longest service in an enter
prise that can reach the high
places: 1t is his lack of interest
to create better conditions in the
business.
The low-saIaried man remains
so. in the majority of cases, be-
cause he does not measure up to
his full capacity. He is satisfied
to let we'll enough alone.
The man who is equipped with
a sense of analysis and who can
rightly measure the strength and
weakness Of the business at
hand has the foremost faculty
for commanding the high places.
My eleventh commandment in
business is to understand what
you have to do-and do 1t.

statement made by G. w. Perkins that
there is a wOeful want of $4,000 men.
have at this moment from twenty to
thirty places to fill, for which 1 will
gladly pay from ten to twenty-five thou
sand dollars per year"
Thus said Theodore y. Vail, president
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, head of an organization
that uses many topnotch sslaried men
and would seem to have an inexhaustible
supply of eligibles. Then he added to a
woman reporter:
But the prime reason that these posi-
tons are not filled is in the everlasting
feeling Of men as to Where do I come
in?' And, looking continually in that di-
rection, they have their own interest at
heart more than the work in which they
were engaged"
What would you suggest for alleviat-
ing this dearth of high-salaried men?"
asked the feminine scribe.
There are a few natural laws that ap-
ply closely to this proposition. The
man who does not create the big situa-
tons cannot hope to step in and carry
them through" replied Mr.. Vail.
1T seems easy enough to step into a
place and seemingly only to supervise.
occasionally a man can DO II, Dut IL Is
rare. The great thing is to create a
big business situation-and there is no
question that the big situation will create
him accordingly.
Long service does not necessarily
mean promotion.
while II is commendable that a man
can stick TO work that is given to him,
yet the men who occupy the first places
are those who not only do that which
they find in the actual service, but
rather improve on that service. make it
better, create a new standard in that
particular field.
Then they have fulfilled their useful
ness there, and having veritably become
faithful over a few things are made
rulers over many. Thus they are in line
for the next step. Initiative-that is,
measuring up to their full capacity in
that particular line-puts them in line
for the $4,000 position.
There are many big business enter
prises to-day whose everlasting problem
is to get this kind of men, and they will
pay-pay big. The money interests in
this country are enormous, and there
were never such opportunities for high
salaries as now. 1t is a great age of
production.
IT would advise every man who Is in
line for promotion to show his worth,
his superability, by actual facts and fig
ures every day, every year. There is no
such thing as chance in the matter of
progress. In the vernacular, you must
produce the goods"

Now is the time to be considering
the question of roads.
The chamber of commerce and the
merchants of Newberry might, to great
advantage to themselves and to the
business of this community, take up
the consideration of improving and
putting in good condition the TWO
roads leading from Newberry to the
two steel bridges over Saluda river.
We drove over the one to the upper
steel bridge as far as Deadfall the
other day and it is badly in need OF
work and if the work were done and
properly done before the fall travel
sets in it could be done at much less
cost.
This town has been getting very
large and a very good trade from Sa'
luda county for many years. In order
to retain that trade There are two
things necessary. One is to give ths
top Of the market for cotton and thu
other is to put the two roads mention
ed in good condition. .
Saluda will have railroad by fal
and that will increase the advantages
OF the town as trading point NJ
doubt great many Saluda people wh<
have been in the habit for years O
trading at Newberry would prefer t
continue, but will not do so unles:
Newberry makes it to their interest tc
do so.

In the nature Of things, there can be
nothing go important to a town as
the health of it's people.
There is a great deal of sickness in
Newberry. The intensely hot and dry
weather, which has broken the rec
ords of L any years, both for intensity
and duration, may have a great deal
to do with this condition.
But experts tell US there is local
cause for typhoid fever. -
: There is a great deal of typhoid few
er in Newberry.
We, do not know what the health
authorities are doing in the way of
inspecting premises and Of requiring
them to be kept clean, and in the way
of keeping the streets and bitches Of
the city clean. We do know that there
are some drains in Newberry that need
attention, and that need attention bad
ly. T.,
A long hot and dry spell such as
that through which we are now pass
ing requires increased endeavors on
the part Of the health authorities.
There are a great many matters in
Newberry that demand their attention.

THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER ON
CHARLOTTE SOCIETY.

The frequent unassuming display OF
the Charlotte Observers vast store of
knowledge of society matters and OF
fashions, including. the hobble skirt
and the harem, has led us to look up
to our North Carolina cotemporary as
an authority upon all such matters,
and not long since, when in doubt, we
quoted it as such. We have not had
occasion to change our opinion, but
after a. very careful reading of the OBJ
servers society column in it's issue Of
Saturday morning, we have been fore
ed to the conclusion that Charlotte
society is cutting some rather queer
antics these fearfully hot days.
Here is one item: "Verily, this is
heart-rending." What is "heart-
rending" may be very clear to those
in the inner circles, but those of us
who are not are in danger of mild
form of insanity in the conjectures to
which our curiosity is leading us.
Now, the advent of twins is always
social item of considerable import
ance in any community, and in these
days which are condemned by COL
Roosevelt, twins are rare enough, It's
true, and whatever they may do is, Of

There was a scarcity of ice in New
berry on Sunday. When you once form
the ice habit it is awfully inconven-
lent to get along without it. The ice
plant here has the monopoly of the
business and should take care of its
home people. We understand there
was an accident to the machinery,
which of course will happen at times.

course, worthy Of note. But Charlotte
twins seem to be able to do stunts not
even attempted by twins anywhere
else. Listen to this paragraph in the
Observers usually lucid "In Social
Circles": "The Twins can get runs Out
of nothing al all"
But the worst is yet to come. The
Observers society editor is not yet
ready to recommend all of Charlotte
society. Eve want" says this society
editor, in this same column, few
startling items below the one above
quoted, Ito give the upper end Of the
second division thorough trial before
recommending it O some of the 9TH
ers."
We don't altogether blame the So
ciety editor, however. Possibly the
hesitation in giving recommendations
to a part of Charlotte's society is ex-
planned by the very next item: "Clancy
seems to think less of his ball club
than anybody else, judging from the
way he cuts up
From the depths of the despair into
which the recital of social conditions
in Charlotte has plunged us, We would
send uu the humble request to our
Charlotte cotemporary to cease pub

state of affairs.

THE HOSIERY MILL.

In "The Autobiography of Jailer,"
by I. K. Friedman, which appeared in
the last two issues of the Saturday
Evening Post-and which is remark
ably strong article on the management
of places of correction-there appears
paragraph which is of peculiar in
terest in this State at this time. 1t is
as follows:
"Eyen the material profits Of our
farm were Of small moment compared
with the physical and spiritual i'm
provements tt3st the out-of-door work
and LIE brought about for those for
tunate enough to be assigned to tasks
On it. Many Of my prisoners are agri-
cultural 1aborers and farm owners as
we'll, and L. "Ird EN- them to the IN
door toll of the shops often results in
adding to the number of victims OF that
dread isease, consumption, which our
civilization is engaged in fighting. Of
ten wonder why the penitentiary,
that hotbed of the destructive germ,
is overlooked in the heat of the battle" )"
The hosiery mill of the South Caro-
lima penitentiary, if the report Of the
State board of health be true-and 1t
has not been questioned-would fur
nish material for the writing of hor-
rible tragedy, true to life. Governor
Blease is right in his unalterable de-
termination that the hosiery mill must
go, and must go speedily. Every day
that it is in operation adds to South
Carolina's shame, and to the gravity of
South Cardinals offending in con-
demning her criminal wards to work
where the chances of contracting that
dread disease which means a slow and
horrible death are against them.
The hosiery mill was long over
looked in the heat of the battle, and
it is to the governors everlasting cred
it that the conditions were brought to
light
When issues of life and death are
involved, the matter Of contracts by
which an individual hopes to make
money from, the labor of convicts
which condemns them to one Of the
most terrible forms Of death, should
not be allowed to stand in the way.
Far better to pay Mr.. Graham all the
profits which he could have expected
to make during the tenure of his con-
tract.

FARMERS UNION FOR GOOD ROADS

FARMERS UNION FOR GOOD ROADS
One of the most commendable reso-
buttons passed at the recent State con-
vention of the Farmers union, at Fitz-
gerald, was one endorsing the good
roads spirit now characteristic of the
State, and urging county authorities
to stimulate road construction with a
view to its effect upon the agricultural
welfare of the communities.
- That policy is already tolerably well
imbedded in the good reads attitude Of
the respective counties. For just one
illustration, road improvement in Sum-
ter has enhanced farm values several
hundred per cent. In some instances
the values of farms have been increas-
ed, despite the fact that their owners
were originally so Indifferent as to
fail to do their share in the wS1k.
Wherever north and South and east
and west trunk lines ara constructed
through counties it is a safe assump-
ton hat lateral lines will rGdlate to
the farthest edges of the county. This
means that every portion of the county
will profit equally, and that the devel-
opment inseparable from good roads
will be symmetrical.
The farmers of the State, whether
or not afiliating with the Farmers
union, can be of much influence in
their Individual counties by agitatfng
for good roads. Highway construc-
