Registering Live Stock.

A breeder of registered live
stock of any kind should keep
himself posted as to the rules of

few blanks for applications. In
making a sale of a registered
animal seller, should sign trans
fer on the registry certificate and
pass it to buyer who should not
long delay sending it to the Sec
rotary of the Association so the
transfer may be recorded. Too
often the buyers neglects to Sc
cure the certificate and months
afterwards awakes to the neces-
sity of getting it but, nine times
out of ten, he will write to the
secretary for it instead of requir-
ing the seller to furnish it. Of
course the secretary can do no
more than refer him to the party
from whom he purchased.

"Ben'' TiIIman.

Senator Tillman, of South Car
DINA, broken in health and be-
lieving that his days are num-
bered, pleads with his constitu-
ents to be allowed to die in har-
ness. When he says Il have a
ripe experience and thorough
knowledge of the workings of
the Government and have many
warm personal friends in the de-
partments and in both branches
of Government" he states the
highest qualifications of a Sen.

Sum up Mr.. Tillman's merits
and they will outweigh all his
shortcomings, all his mistakes
and all the structures that can be
put in the other scale. When h
came to the Senate every mans
hand was against him, and no
one had a good word for him.
He fought his way to the front
rank of Senators by sheer ability

Tillman's worth and became his
friend.
In Mr.. Tillman's desire to
serve South Carolina for another
term in failing health he has no
ambition to crafty; some
thought of his fame may move
him, but usefulness to his peo-
pie is paramount with him. If
his body is crippled, his mind is
at the service of South Carolina.
A record of 18 crowded years in

Does PoIiteness Pay?


makes little difference whether
we take time to be polite to all
people or not. But when we stop
to consider and think sincerely
on the subject of politeness we
are made to realize the necessity
of politeness, not only on Sunday
with certain people and at GER
tain places, but at all times and
with all people. We are natural
ly prone to be polite to the rich
and those of high rank, but the
poor and humble have a heart
that may be won by little words
of kindness and acts of polite
ness. 1t is also very easy to be
polite to our friends. We should
be true to our friends and polite
to all. 1t has been said that
Gen. Lee was always polite and
kind to even the little boys and
girls who played by the roadside
upon which he travelled. He
was polite to his enemies in time
of war and never spoke harshly
or insultingly to them. This
may seem hard for some of us to
do. to be polite to those we do
not like and especially our
enemies, but let us be polite to
them and try to win their friend
ship and the good will of our
fellow-man.
Schoolmates should consider
politeness one feature of their
school life, because if we cult
vate this and practice politeness
through school life then will be
natural for us to be polite in a
business life. Many business
men have gone down in defeat
because of their unsocial and
impolite manner.
There are two reasons for
politeness-one for a motive, the
other for principle. The person
who is polite for a motive is ex-
ceedingly polite for a while, or
until he accomplishes his purpose
then he does not know you any
longer. But the person who is
polite for the principle of man.
hood and character, you may de-
pend upon it, will be the same
at all times and at all places,
and will greet you with a friend
ly hand-shake, even though you
may be in adversely.
We should be polite to the aged
because if God in his mercy spare
our lives, our hair, too, will soon
be gray and our faces wrinkled.
But if we have lived in peace we
shall be honored by those whom
we have associated, and there
will be no regret or sleepless
nights caused by the thought of
having been impolite to someone
when we should have been polite.
1t seems that this alone is worth
the price we pay for politeness,
besides the pleasure and happi-
ness we receive while we are
seeking this reward.
