Truth and Honor Above Cleverness
and Wit.

Avoid unkind criticism. If 6
life be pure, let all oddities alone.
If you are convinced that a not
over brilliant young man is try.
ing to live a clean life and make
an honest record in the world, dc
not pick him to pieces in your
after-party talks, even if he is a
trifle close or a little prosy. A
pure man is better than a BRILL
ant man any day, and truth and
honor make a better crown than
cleverness and wit. Set your
aim in this world toward making
people happier and better, not
toward the tearing down of char
acter. Make the grass a little
greener by your treading upon it.
Make life's journey less tiresome
to your comrades on the way. =

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
Whisky a Hard Taskmaster.

lhere are many reasons why men
should not drink. But perhaps the
reason which appeals to the largest
number Is the growing conviction
that drinking whisky is not profit
able.
Everyone with average intelligence
wants TO succeed. Success may not
point to exactly the same results i'm
all cases, but in a general way il
means getting on in the Norld-mlk-
ing the best of life.
Probably every sane person starts
out with good intentions along that
line. Everyone believes that he is
entitled to health, happiness and
competence. But everyone does not
realize all that he hopes for. Some
times circumstances beyond control
interfere with ones plans, but usu-
ally there is a tangible reason for
failure; usually the man who falls
too far short of his intentions knows
where the shortage lies.
Extravaganza and bad manage
ment are frequently causes of trou-
BILE; but by far the greatest cause of
ruin and disaster is whisky. The
man who drinks never makes good
with his intentions. Even if he
drinks in moderation, he is not en-
tirely fit. NJ man can be ut his best
when he is under the influence of
liquor.
1t is not necessary to be percept-
IDLY intoxicated to be unfit to decide
questions of Importance; even in
small quantities, alcohol dulls the
intellect. So generally is this adj
mitteG that many who have no OBJ
lection to an occasional glass will re-
fuse the lightest of wines when they
have an important deal on hand.
And Others, who are 10 the habit of
imbibing freely at certain times, alb
solutely refuse to drink during bust
ness hours.
Whisky is hard taskmaster. 1t
takes everything and gives nothing.
In small quantities it is fata to ev-
erything requiring skill and precis-
ion. Used to excess, it is ruinous to
any vocation.

The Louisiana Purchase.

A little over a century ago tC
be exact, 108 years ago last Sat.
urday-Ap %, 1S03-all but
the finishing touches were given
to the biggest real estate deal
ever recorded. 1t was the sale
by Napoleon of the Province of
Louisiana to the United States
for a mere song.
For only a little more money
than is now on deposit in the
four Shreveport banks our coun-
try secured the vast region which
embraced the whole of the terri
tory west of the Mississippi, with
the exception of Texas and that
obtained later on from Mexico,
and that is composed to-day of
the great States of Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Montana, Idaho, the greater part
of Wyoming and the half of Colo
RADIO. There isn't a parish in the
State of Louisiana to-day which
could be bought for the money
that France accepted for all this
rich territory.
Till 1903 the territory occupied
by our people seemed a vastness
beyond which neither necessity
nor desire could ever go; but the
sudden closing of the port of New
Orleans to the young Republic set
them to thinking. They must
have the port of New Orleans,
and so Jefferson sent Robert R.
Livingston and James Monroe to
see what they could do about Sc
curing it.
Our diplomats spoke to Talley-
rand, Talleyrand spoke to Napo-
leon, and the First Consul sum-
moned his Ministers of Finance
and War and sounded them on
the subject. For half an hour
Napoleon talked to his Ministers,
winding up with these words:
Whatever nation holds the val
ley of the Mississippi will be the
most powerful on earth. There
is danger that Britain will begin
there the impending war. She
has twenty-five vessels in the
Gulf: we have none. Had wei

CATTLE SHIPPED TO BALTIMORE.
Lean Kind Come Here i'm November
and Fat Cattle Shipped Out in
March.

From The Daily Item, March ..
There Were about four hundred fat
cattle SHIPPED from this city today by
tn" ID. b. Martin Company of Phil
adephia, for immediate slaughter at
the abattoirS of this company in Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, these being
the same cattle which were shipped
in here during last November and
the first of December to be fattened
for northern markets.
This cattle trade has been going on
here for some time, and is steadily in
creasing in importance. During the
fall and early winter the cattle are
shipped here from Tennessee and
North Carolina and are fattened on
cotton seed hulls and meal during the
winter months. About the first of
spring they are slick and fat, the cot
ton seed products making them shed
off their old hair and put them in
good condition, they are ready for
the northern market. Up to recently
most of the cattle were either sold
to slaughter houses in the State or
shipped to Richmond. This year,

| chased in small numbers. Today there
were eight car loads of he animals
shipped, there being from twenty-five

RUDOLPH RABENS PARDONED.
NOTORIOUS FENCE" is FREED
BY GOV. BIEASE.
Returns to Charleston to Surprise or
His Friends in That City-No One
There Knew OF 1t.

Charleston, March S.-Rudolph
Rabens. with several aliases, is back
in Charleston. having been pardoned
by Gov. Blease after a service of
about two o-thirds OF his sentence in
the penitentiary. having been con-
victed at Walhalla for completely in
the blowing and robbery Of the safe
Of the Newry mills in Oconee county
several years ago.
Through his attorneys, Rabens
made hard fight to keep out of the
penitentiary but 1t was n futile con-
test and he was placed behind the
bars. The pardon of the governor
enables Rabens to return to Charles
ton much sooner than he had hoped
to do.
Rabens was charged with being the
fence" for the gangs Of yeggmen
who operated in South Carolina some
years ago, blowing safes in postonlces
and cotton mills. In several instances
better results were gotten with the
State than the federal courts and the
United States authorities gave way
TO the State in the trial Of Rabens and
his pals on the charge of robbing the
Newry cotton mills.
1t was not known here that any
steps were under way, for the pardon
of Rabens and his return to Charles.
ton without any notice of his case wa:
a surprise. His former friends an6
companions could scarcely believe
that 1t was Rabens when he show.
ed himself few days ago for the frs
time about his establishment on upper
King Street.
| No announcement as to the pardon
Of Rabens was made by Gov. Blease
Gov. Ansel refused a pardon to Ra

REMBERT SALE BIG SUCCESS.
Negroes Buy All Lots Offered to Them
at Good Prices.

The sale of lots at Rembert, a week
ago, was a big success as the lots Of
fered were rapidly bought up by the
white purchasers, but the sale of lots
Saturday was. if anything, even more
OF a success than of the previous
week as the cOlOred people of whom
there were great many present,
bought all lots offered for sale and
seemed anxious to buy more.
The lots brought good prices, al
though they were not so large. and
the prices were not so high as on the
lots sold previously
1t seems from present indications
that Rembert will soon be one of the
most prosperous and growing towns
in this section.
