THE UNEMPLOYED.

It's mighty peculiar thing that any
strong man should be beggar or "out
of a job"
Unpleasant to think about.
We would rather think about Otto
Young. millionaire, late owner of 1.-THE
Fair" in Chicago, WHO landed in New
York penniless boy. scarcely able
OF speak the English language, with
his big toe sticking through the leath-
er OF his shoe, and his stomach as emp
ty as hasheesh smores brain, who
earned $3.50 on his first day in Amer
lea by selling toys in the streets
Wed rather think of the thousands oil
pages Of advertisements in the big
newspapers every day, put there by
business men who have found that the
harvest is plenteous and the laborers
are few.

A SPRING DAY.

The sunlight that we got yesterday
was like eating mess of lettuce and
olive oil, green onions and young
radishes after a six-week diet of pork
and.
So spring-like was the day that straw
hats and tail glasses with straws in
them were dreamed of. Boys played
marbles and maidens wondered how
soon they could sport their sashes.
Old tops" let their thoughts wander
back to bygone May days and youth
full spirits and many q. newspaper cor
respondent saw robins.
What spring-like day will do.

We suppose there is nothing to dc

We suppose there is nothing to do
when you see a beggar but to give
him money. Otherwise it is morally
certain that he will starve or steal.
Besides it is credit to the warm
hearted world that there are tramps
and street corner solicitors. They
furnish positive evidence that men
are generous, for If men were not gen
erous there would De no beggsrs.
When man begs on the street
corner he proves thereby that the
heats of people are more tender than
their brains; for their brains have led
them to build the poorhouse, the &C
commodations of which, as Mr.
Scrooge once suggested, are ample
enough to meet all requirements.

When 1 saw in the vaults OF azure and

Like blooms from their fields astray,
On painted wings that hutttered and
spun,
Two golden BUTTERFLIES play
Tive flames by nm airy love made one
In the heart of the day
of wings,
But was doomed the earth to lie,
Till cursed the clasp of the mari that

To thwart my lust for the sky
And the mournfuI hunger of wfngless

For the visions that die.

COMMON PLEAS.

The court Of common pleas was ex-
pected to get through with its business
on yesterday, but proceedings have
gone on until today. The last case,
however, was taken up this morning,
and there will be nothing for next

The Parcels Post.-The senate conn
mittee on postofiices and postroads

work Of drawing up a bill providing

a rate of 10 cents for the frst pound
and 4 cents for each additional pound
making the cost so cents on an eleven
pound package. which shall be the
maximum weight. allowed. This rate
Is to aply to the entire country. Il
is possible that lower rate win be
made on intraurban deliveries, and
some members suggest lower rate
than the general charge, which shall
be applied to local business on the
rural free delivery routes. ~
The rates to be fixed are not q mat
ter for discussion now, however. What
the public desires and demands In the
installation Of q parcels post system
Just as soon as its machinery can be
arranged. Nor should this require q
great period Of time. The rural free
delivery system already honeycombs
the country, and the postofice depart
ment Is a growing concern.

express companies have reaped their
millions from the people. Let the een-

Now that the state warehouse bill
Is all but through the house, It is
coming time to begin the considera-
tion of its administration. AS great
as are the possibilities Of this law,
unless 1t Is properly administered it
can amount to nothing. Everything
will depend upon its administration.
Of course, domestic consumption Of
cotton is Of secondary Importance. In
that relation warehouse system
could be of but small consequence.
Cotton is primarily an export crop,
and the price Of an export crop must
necessarily be fixed on an export ba-
sis. To get things going right is go
ing to require tact and business abil-
ity Of a high order,' and 1t may be
necessary for the state to send rep
resentative abroad to look after 1t all
as it should be and to make arrange
ments for properly financing the hold
ing system that will be made possible
under the new machinery which South
Carolina is about to take the lead in
providing. That the warehouse COM
mission the general assembly Is to
elect will be fully competent to dq
this We have no doubt, but still we
feel disposed to offer a suggestion.
There has been no secret Of the fact
from the beginning that this warehouse
idea had its inception with Hon. John
L. McLaurin of Bennettsville. and there
has been no secret, either, Of the fact
that it was he who has been able to
convince the general assembly Of the
possibilities Of which such a law might
be capable. Throughout the state Mr..
McLaurin Is remembered principally as
a man who was formerly very promi-
nent in the politics Of the state; but
over in Bennettsville, where he has
lived all his life, they have almost
ceased to think Of him as having once
been a member Of the United States
senate. Almost everybody who knows
him still addresses him as Senator"
but he Is known better as one of the
leading farmers and business men Of
his part of the state, and as q man Of
wide and influential connections
throughout the country. If Mr.. Nc
Laurin is called upon to help further
in this whole matter. we do not see
how he could we'll refuse, and we do
not believe he would refuse. anyway.

The pig club is good idea. Almost
every boy In the county who desires
to do so can get pig for the competi-
ton, and every boy who goes into the
contest and sticks to 1t faithfully. will
come pretty near getting the worth Of
his time and labor. There Is good
deal to be learned from the study Of
pigs.
From such information as can be
gathered 1t appears that the reason
why there were no sales of property
last Monday under the advertisement
of the master Of Spartanburg county
in the case Of that Spartanburg in
surance company, some Of the people
whose property was to be sold settled,
and the other property was not Of
sufficient value to warrant the expense
incident to the prosecution of the
sale. It was a slick scheme that was
worked on the York county people In
that insurance scheme-a very slick
scheme by people who were naturally
expected to be more trustworthy; but
maybe the people who were swindled
learned enough to be worth the money.
