A Card From Sheriff Buford.
W. II. counts.
Holmes Kinard.

To the Democratic Voters Of New
berry County: 1t is your will, as ex-
pressed at the polls August q, that a
change be made in the Office of sheriff.
l bow to this expression of your
choice without resentment and with
out bitterness. I have been your
sheriff for sixteen years. l recognize
that this is a long term of service, and
feel that your choice of another does
not show any lack of confidence in
me. 1t has been my constant purpose
and desire to render faithful service
and am proud that 1 can let the
records testify whether l have lived
up to this ideal. My guide has been
my oath of Office, which 1 held sacred,
and the laws of the State, which I
have tried to enforce as my duty re-
quired. I am deeply grateful for all
the kindness and consideration that
have received at your hands. And in
retiring from the Office of. sheriff I
wish to assure you that in the future
as in the past, in peace and in peril,
1 shall ever be ready to join hands
with you in maintaining and promot-
ing the welfare of our county and
State. NJ. NJ. Buford.

Governor Blease.
Charlotte Observer.


Not even the all-powerful influence
of Senator Tillman seems to have been
sufficient to save" the State of South
Carolina Cole. Blease has been re-
elected governor. To those who have
watched the course of the campaign,
there is no surprise in this result. Up
to the time of the Fielder affair at
Augusta, the outcome for Blease was
much less in doubt than it was after
ward. On top of that, came the abuse
of Blease by the more prominent of
the South Carolina newspapers and as
if that were not enough, they kept up
a running fire of ridicule of Blease's
followers. There was never such an
exhibition of poor politics. In South
Carolina, it is the rural vote that
counts and the Jones people went af-
ter this vote in the wrong way. If
any better explanation than that can
be advanced, we want to hear it.

AS to Vacations.

Some people have peculiar ideas as to
vocations. They think vocation is like
a book, something that can be handed to
them, and that they would recognize at
once as theirs. This is not So Our voca-

step out of the beaten path 20 find them. \

the ordinary.

Don Knock.

Put the hammer in the locker,
Hide the sounding board likewise,
Any one can be knocker, {
Any one can criticise
Cultivate rnannei winning, 49,.
Tho it hurts yotr face to smile,
And seems awkward in the beginning,
Be booster for while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding,
That's the one that draws his pay,
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for, solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slo5
And I'll warrant you'll get action
For your effort on the spot.
Kindness every time beats knocking,
Mirth is better than frown,
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And it isn't so distressing,
If you give little boost
To the man the fates are pressing,
When the chicks come home to roost.

Yes, the old world would be brighter,
If you'd kindle friendships fame
And thus make the troubles lighter
Of the man against the game.
Send your crouch on vacation,
Give your grunbling tones shake,
And with grim determination
Throw your hammer in the lake.

II hearts were only jolly, ii grlevlngs were

And tears and melancholy where things that

Then love would kneel to duty and all the

A bridal bower of beauty dream within

If men would cease to worry and women
cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury whatever had to
die;
If neighbor spoke to neighbor as love de-

The rust would eat the saber, the spear

Then every day would ghsten and every

And the Great Spirit would stop to listen,

IF You Have a Friend Worth
Loving

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words neer be said.
Of friend-till he is dead?
If you hear song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the JOY you may impart?
If you hear prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before its God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayerl
If you see the hot tears falling
From brothers weeping eyes,:
Share them And by kindly sharing
Own our kinship in the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy a place
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
IF your work is made more easy
By friendly, helping hand,
Say So Speak out brave and truly !
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness
All enriching as you 60
Leave them. Trust the Harvest-Giver;
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until the happy end,
Your life shall never lack friend.

Paris, like Constantinople before
the revolution of the Young Turks,
numbers its stray dogs by the thou
sands. The statistician Of the Ex-
celsior estimates that 10000 are an
nually found in the French capital
and half of them taken to the city'sI
pound. Of this 10000 about 1000
are executed, 1900 returned to their
owners and 1900 turned over to the
hospitals for vivisection expert
ments. But there remain 10000
who escape government regulation
and find new masters or succeed in
leading a vagabond life. Too speedy
surrender of dogs to the vivisection-
lists has just called forth from NJ.
Lepine, the police dictator of Paris,
an order that all dogs which fall
into the hands of the authorities
shall have four days of grace.

TAKING PICTURES OF SKI
Great international Task That is Most
Important Of Kind Ever
Undertaken.

A Photographic map Of the sky
has been occupying the attention Of
the astronomers Of the world for
many years and is still far from
complete. The information 20 far
derived is tabulated and published
in books, each volume containing
little but a mass Of figures.
The work is invaluable from a
scientific point of view. This great
international task is probably the
most important of its kind ever un-
dertaken.
The entire sky is to be photo
graphed twice-that is, with a short
and long exposure. Each Of the
eighteen observatories participating
will take about 1900 photographs.
The work has gone on continuously
since 1892. The total number Of
separate stars in the sky, the posi-
tions and magnitudes of which by
each observatory will be determined,
is about two hundred thousand
Eighteen times that--to estimate
the work of the other universities as
well-brings the approximate total
to nearly four million.
