Our Lives Are Shaped Upon Mental
Models-If High, the Life Is Lofty,
If Low. 1t GroVels.

What we make of ourselves depends
upon the ideals which we habitually
r~'7. Our lives are shaped upon our

life is lofty; if low, it, ,grovels. Man
is no better than his ideals. The
stream cannot rise higher than its
source. Our work can never overtop
our ideal, our ambition. 1t is a great
thing to keep the constant suggestion
of high ideals, of things that are
grand and noble in human achieve
ment, in the mind. 1t tends to make
US love the right and hate the wrong.
There is one thing we ought to hold
in such sacredness that no considera-
ton could induce us to dilute it, and
that is the quality Of the life, the quail
it If our ideals. Whatever else we
are careless about, we cannot afford
to carry through life low ideals, sec
ond-class personalities or demoralized
mentalities. However humble our

first came to America in the autumn.
Before coming she had heard great
stories of the wonderful new land she
was to visit and of the tremendous
things she would see here. AS the
train sped far out beyond the cities and
the open fields came into view she was
much interested in looking out of the
car window, for this was the kind of
scenery with which she was most ia
miliar at home. At one point the train
slowed down alongside big field, in
which great, golden pumpkins cleaned

The watch WIN soon be scotfed out
with cases that he will need an extra

A friend from a neighboring
county whose business brings him
in touch with quite a number of
county newspapers told us this week
that The Record was the best county

to differ with him. 1t is our desire
to publish the best weekly newspa-

How near we shall come to attain

Mr. C E Harris, the well-known
Greelyville contractor, visited Kings
tree Sunday. Mr. Harris has been
awarded the contract for the big
brick stables the Greelyville Live
stock Company is building. This
structure is to be 90x120 feet in
size, making it the biggest building
of the kind in the county. The esti-
mated cost is $6, 900.
The local fire department, which
received ten per cent of the money
taken in by the carnival side-shows,
got for its share about 800, we un-
derstand. 1t would be a conservative
estimate to say that not less than
1000 was taken in during the week,
all told, and the community is that
amount poorer, less the pitiful rake
off the fire department got.
The alleged carnival that ex.
hibited here last week was about
the sorriest aggregation that ever
herded together in the streets OF
Kingstree. The side shows were
not worth seeing and Friday night
one of them took advantage of a
bigger attendance than usual and
advanced the price of admission from
ten to twenty-five cents-a regular

ject of the meeting to be to discuss the
inviting of the next National Encamp-

viting the Encampmcnt for 1912, be-
cause of the lack of facilities in the no.
tells and railroads at present. Comrade
Theo. F. Brown urged that the invita-
ton be extended. 1t was at last dccid-
ed to extend an invitation to the Grand
Army of the Republic to hold its Ma
tional Encampment at Chattanooga in
1915, which would be the semi-centen-
nial of the close of the war, at the time
when the Memorial Arch would be

ANOTHER MIGHTY SAVIOR.

There is a joke current about the
Capitol of certain Senator who tele-
graphed to his friends, 81 have just de-
livered a great speech and saved the
country. I am now going to New York
to save my wife,
Senator Leroy Percy (Miss) seems
to have the same brilliant idea of the
overwhelming effect of what he says
in the Senate He has written letter
to one of his constituents. and which
has been published in the papers of this
state, that his speech defeated the Sull-
oway Bill, saved the country about
S50,000.0O0 and the poor taxpayers of
Mississippi about $4,000,000. He felt
that this would be a crushing burden
upon the poor people of Mississippi
who con scarcely afford to pay 100000
a year for pensions to Confederate Vet
erans of the State. Senator Percy "out-
lodges Lodge in his misstatements as
to the Sulloway Bill. The Sulloway
Bill would not have cost the people of
Mississippi one cent in the way of taxes.
and Senator Percy knows this as well
as any other well-informed man. Any
person who takes the trouble to give
brief study to the pension system
knows that the passage of the Sulloway
Bill would have meant the diversion
to the veterans and their widows Of
money that is now being taken out Of
the Treasury by jobbers and their in
terests for schemes of doubtful value.
The people of Mississippi are much
more gullible than We ever imagined
them to be IL they can swallow stuff like

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

The Greenville, o., Courier, reproduc-
ing the editorial in The NatianaI Trfb-
une advising them to support the coun-
try press which is favorable to them,
rather than the metropolitan press,
which is controlled by THE Interests"
against them, says:
There isn't a country newspaper any.
where but receives a goodly part of the
quarterly pension money, yet we have
not seen word editorially in any of our
exchanges that in any way solicited,
sanctioned or defended the Sulloway
bill-the fairest and most liberal bill
yet proposed, except that of The Nat
ional Tribune. The Sulloway bill would
not only have been of the keenest sort
of help to veterans of the civil war,
but its distribution of money would have
reached every business man in the coun-
try. 1t would be far better to thus dis
tribute the millions of money gathered
in by the government that everybody
could feel its benefit than to see mil
lions of money go down the rivers and
harbors and other extravagant ratholes
each year"
The National tribune., 1911-04-20

Our attacks upon Canada were humiIf-
atins failures. Detroit was shamefuIIy
surrendered, our National Capital was
taken and burned, and about the only
redeeming features were Harrison's vic.
tory over the British on the Thames
and Jackson's victory at New Orleans,
which was gained after peace was de-
clared.
The only thing that brought US out
of the war with credit was the splendid
victories gained by the New England
sailors upon tle sea. in conflict with
the British ships There we won a Sc.
ries of successes which humiIiated
Great Britain. greatly injured her com.
merce and were the most effective fac
tors IN bringing ABOUT peace.
The war ended without a mention of
the objects for which it had been de-
clared. In such a turmoil as this the
hot-headedness of a number of New
Englanders may be explained il not JUS
tilted.
The National tribune., 1911-04-20
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

Gen. Sherwood has now the greatest
opportunity ever presented to Chair
man of the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions. He solicited the appointment on
the ground that he could frame bill
and secure its passage. which would
satisfy all the veterans.
The Democrats are very anxious to
achieve this result, and secure the votes
of the veterans and their friends for
the next Congressional and Presiden-
tial campaigns.
The House is therefore ripe for the
introduction and passage of a satisfac-
tory pension bill.
The country is ripe for this, as was
strongly evidenced by the unanimous
Endorsements of the Legislatures Of 26
of the greatest States in the Union.
The Senate and the White House ex-
pect such a bill to be presented TO them
at the earliest moment by the House
of Representatives.
They want this to get the pension
question out of the road, so that they
can address themselves to other I'm
portant National questions.
Above all things, the veterans want
it. With a strong regiment of veterans
dying every week and a full brigade
every month delay is agonizing and
temporizing criminal.
Not only does everybody want lib
eral pension bill at once, but they want
something as near as possible to The
National Tribune pension bill. That
measure has now been before the coun-
try for more than two years, and has
received a most astonishing approval
from all sections and quarters. The
general principles of the bill are every
where accepted as eminently right and
Just, and the only possible question can
be about minor details.
All that is necessary for Gen. Sher-
wood to do is to call his committee to-
gether at once. take up the Sulloway
BILL add thereto what other details he
may think an improvement, Immediate
ly present the bill to the House and
take energetic steps to secure its pas
sage.
The House is waiting for this, and
all that it requires is that the Chair
man of the Committee on Invalid Pen
sions shall proceed to Immediately do
his duty without further delay or cir
cumlocution.
1t wants action, and If Gen. Sher-
wood will give !; that the country will
rise up and call him blessed.
We beg him not to allow a week to
pass before doing what he is expected
TO do.
