Secretary Waterman Leaves.

Mr. G. a. Waterman, who has filled
the position of Secretary of the sum
ter Chamber Of Commerce since De
cember lst last, left yesterday for
Baton Rouge, La, where he will en-
ter at once upon the discharge Of his
duties a Secretary Of the Board of
Trade Of that city. Mr.. Waterman
made many friends here, who part
with him with sincere regret, and
their best wishes follow him. The call
to Baton Rouge was a marked compli-
ment to Mr.. Waterman personally as
we'll as a tribute to his ability and
worth as a commercial secretary, for
he lived in Baton Rouge for several
years and was identified with the town
as managing editor of the leading
daily paper. He was not an applicant
for the position, for he was not aware
that a vacancy existed until he re-
ceived a telegram rendering him the
place and inviting him to visit Baton
Rouge at the expense of the Board of
Trade When he went to Baton Rouge
no found that he had been rendered
the position on account OF his work in
Pensacola, Fla, where he was COM
mcrcial secretary for four years. He
had been recommended and endorsed
for the Baton Rouge position by the
business men Of Pensacola, who were
familiar with his methods and work
and who are still receiving increasing
benefits from his labor for the up
building and bctterment of that city.
Mr.. Waterman's stay in Sumter was
comparatively brief and while there
are no conspicuous or outstanding
achievements to his credit in the way
of manufacturing and industrial en-
tcrprises established-and it must he
admitted that neither the times nor
the existing financial conditions were
prosperous for such undertaking-but
his work was along safe. sane and
constructive lines and the publicity
that Sumter gained through his eff

the future. He was loyal to Sumter

Significance Of Little Things.

From the Atlantic.
We love little things. we hate little
things, We fear little things; our lives
are knit up with little things from the
time We are born to the day we die.
But things draw us up to heaven or
crush us down to hell. Little things live
beside us on the earth, eat and sleep with
us, laugh and grumble with US, catch the
early train with US, or make us miss 1t.
irritate and appease uS-never leave US
alone for minute.
That is why they are so much more i'm
portant than the big things-the things
that only come once in way, at long
intervals, and even then are nearly al
ways the result of hundred and one
little things combined.
To be crushed by a large misadventure
is natural, but to fall a victim to a series
of petty misfortunes is humiliating. There
are many who would prefer breaking
their necks once and for all by falling
off a mountain to bruising their whole
bodies and dislocating their tenlpers BY
the daily stumbling over a molehill. 1t
Is the little things that count-the salts
faction of climbing Mount Olympus is
poor sort of attainment if the scores
and scores of pleasant details which wait
upon success be absent.
