Work.

All Athe necessities of life, as the
rood we eat, the clothes we wear.
and the houses in which we live, are
the products of work. 1t is absolute,
ly necessary for people to do work of
some kind to convert the raw ma
terials given them by nature before
they are or much value Food, com
Portable homes, civilization, all are
the rewards of work and when we
fall to give aid to their production we
should not enjoy the pleasures of these
goods.
But some times work will cause
great egort and give immense pain
then 1t is We find mon giving back and
substituting for lighter Job. In 9TH
er words they will look for some place
where one would be enabled to live
upon the labors of some one else. Now
this is right for little child to do:
he should live upon the goods produc-
ed by his parents and friends. But
when he has grown up he should look
about him and push out to earn a live
lihood for himself. Because If a per-
son continues to depend upon the work
of others after he has become g man
he is no better than the jelly fish
which is carried where the water
wishes.
And by hard earnest work man has
mastered the world and made it his
servant and slave Also by persist
ent effort he can conquer his own feel
ings and cause the weaker impulses to
stand back and make room for the
higher and nobler thoughts
do not say that every man must
plow or that he insult clerk. or that he
must preach; | do NOT say that every
woman should teach, or that she
should keep house or that she should
be a suffragette-bu | do say there
is work for each one of us to do and
we should feel proud of it and not
be ashamed of honest work The
time has come when. that no one, not
even woman knows but what she
may have to earn living by the
sweat of her own brow
An idle person. if he is of the poor
class. suffers the penalty of his lazi-
ness in his own person-he reaps his
own reward. In truth, he gets very
little from this great world because
he gives but little to it. While on the
other hand the idle rich man, even
though he gives nothing gets much
because many an honest man and
woman has to work the harder for
his being in the world. He is a freak
and makes life more burdensome for
others. Young man, young woman
have you connected yourself with eth
er of these two classes? If so seize
time by the forelock and break away
before it is too late. DO not try to
shun work. for all honest work wheth-
of hands or OF brains is honorable and
will be applauded by your fellow man.

TO ADVERTISE THE STATE.

A statewide commercial club, such
as is contemplated by those who have
called the meeting in Columbia for
June &c, could prove very effective
organization in furthering the growth
OF this state. AS an indication of
what could be accomplished by an
extensive and systematic campaign of
publicity, can be taken the results be-
ing obtained by the Southern Land
Development Company, of this city,
which has large holdings at McBee.
This company has undertaken to ad-
vertise in the north and west the re-
sources of their own property at Nc
Bee. They have been flooded with re-
plies to these advertisements from all
sections of the United States. People
are wanting to come southward and
they do not know where to 60 This
company has been directing them to
McBee. With comparatively small
funds the company reached and in
huenced thousands of people If an
extensive. campaign were inaugurated
by the entire state, the results would
be such, as are being gained by the
Southern Land Development Company
only in larger degree. With more
funds at its command, more people
could be reached
While we see no practical way in
which the prospective commercial
club can undertake campaign it,
self it seems to us that its main eff
forts should be toward influencing
the legislature to make an appropria-
ton for such work.

Wasn't IL Absnrdl
The Laurens Advertiser:

Says the Laurens Advertiser:
when Gov. Blease was asked at
Newbcrry about the graft charges
made against him by Mayor Grace, the
governor only replied that it was
news to me-" Further than that, ne
has never said word. A high sense
of honor our governor has when he
can be accused of accepting graft and
then not even make any attempt to
deny it or resent the accusation"
The Advertiser would evidently re-
verse the old-time rule that man
charged is not required to prove his
innocence-that 1t is up to him who
brings the charges to prove them.
Would the Advertiser have the gov
ernor to stand on his head tu"n
around several times, and fill the air
with words carrying the odor of burn
ing sulphur?
II Governor Blease would take time
to become indignant at all people say
and newspapers print about him, he
wouldn't have time for much else. His
opponents are strong in talk and print.
We were told when Fielder paraded
his venom in the public prints, that
the governor, In order to vindicate
ought to sue Fielder for SLAM
der and make Fielder prove his charges
or mulct him in damages. The absur-

4 PRIZE OFFER,

Last year The Advertiser offered a
prize OF years subscription for the
man who brought in the first cotton
blossom. Being little late on our
crop prognostication, we made fall
down, because one farmer had already
found a number of blossoms before
the prize was ever offered. We would
make the same offer again this year,
If we did not fear the same thing
would happen. But we are determined
to get in on some kin of an offer
like that, so we hereby offer years
subscription to The Advertiser for
the one who first brings or sends an
open boil to this office. Look out.

How To Preserve Inner Tubes


When fitting an inner tube it is a
good plan to dust small quantity
Of tale or French chalk inside the en-
velope. Just sufficient to cover the
interior surface is all that is required.
Too much tale, says the Michellin
Tire expert, gradually accommodating
into solid Jumps is frequent cause
of punctures On the other hand in
ner tube from sticking to the en-
velope
Inner tubes should always be per-
fectly clean and dry when fitting.
Even the slightest moisture should
be avoided 1t is common practice
to lay the tube on tho step of the car
or even on the ground previous to
fitting. This is very expensive
habit. There is always place to
hang the tube where it will be free
from moisture or dust. Hang it over
never lay it down where it will come
in contact with foreign and injurious
matter
Inner tubes should always be car
ried in water proof bags such as can
be bought at any garage for quarter.
They should never be kept in original
cardboard boxes. says the Michelin
Man. These boxes are sufficient for
the garage but not for storing tubes
kept III a car. Waterproof bags keep
the tubes away from water. oil and
grease, but are not intended to pro-
tect the tubes from sharp tools Al
ways keep spare tubes in the bags
and keep the bags away from metal
objects.

Thsre have been many dramas that portrayed incidents alleged to have taken place concerning the great Civil War, but in the reel My Yank and Miss Reb, there Is sucL, a delightful plot that 1t makes it of double value. This is story of patriotic young noIthsrner and an equally patriotic southern belle Thr northern man comes into the southland, and there these two warning patriots meet Just as matters are getting interesting, Dan Cupid takes hand in the game and It isn't long belore they decide that no matter what others think, whether the north and the south can get along withou one another. these two can't, and you know the rest. 1 "A Sweetheart in Every Port" is "a reel that was taken along the coast of Florida by the Kalem company and while 1t is of a comedy nature, the finish is serious enough to counter balance the fun, for after visiting all his lady friends in the various ports where inc ship touches Jackie at last meets the right girl. It is a film of ocean and seaport towns that will be found most interesting.
