THE BOY WHO MEETS TRAINS.

The boy who meets the train is not an isolated example Often he is so we'll represented at the village and small town stations that he makes a crowd He makes the trip from one to four or more times when not busy at something else Usually he is on time, reaching the depot as much as fifteen minutes be- fore the train arrives, and spend ing as much time after it leaves There is little to do but idly watch the train and it's passengers to see who gets off, and talk with others who came with as little pur- pose as himself.
 Long day journeys prove that the number of boys who meet the train is large. How ruthlessly they waste time The hour or two spent each day in meeting the trains is largely wasted. and yet they do not seem to give il serious thought They lack plan or any definite object Nothing has to be done. so why not seek a little excitement as the train goes thru? The work that belonged strictly to that day was out of the way, and what had to be done in the future would be disposed of in the same way. Their attitude is apparently aimless They go to the train ex- pecting something to turn up and they are starting in life the same way.
 Usually those who expect some thing worth while to happen as the train runs are disappointed, and the same is true of those who start may get less than he aims at. but he will hardly ever get more It lakes a vision. an ideal if you please. to bring success Something worth working for must be con- eeiyed and kept before the minds eye. Then if the thing is going to be done there won't be much time for meeting trains or otherwise spending time aimlessly II is true that to-day's work may be finish ed in time to idle some hours, but if tomorrow work is 10 be made little better. some studying and planning will have to he done
 It $ a mistake to preach or prac- tiee all work and 10 play. but go- ing to the train or Ioafine at the store does not fall into either elass. Either of these Is just killing time. for the average boy or man Wheth- CT 1t is work or play, the way 10 get the most out of it is to go at it In earnest hearted play and half-hearted work are alike un- satisfying. There is always some thing worth doing for pleasure or profit. Just plain loafing need have a very. very small place in the life of any Southern Az riculturist.

Will Assist In Moving Cotton Crop.

Will Assist In Moving Cotton Crop.
1t is not only profitable politically
but profitable materially to the south
for a Democratic administration to
be at the helm in Washington.
There are more southern men fill
ing important government positions
now than at any time wi;h:n the
past so years. This of course is to
be desired in that it gives prestige
to this section of the country, but
that which is to be most desired
does not come through political.
channels but comes as actual bene-
fit in graphing With the stern,
everyday problems Of life.
The calling of southern business
men to Washington by Secretary
McAdoo to confer concerning the
sending of millions of dollars di-
rectly to the South to aid in NOV
ing the cotton crop was, if memory
serves us right, the first official act
that has ever come from Washing
t on for the material aid and fnan-
cial relief of this Part of me coun-
try. No such thing was ever
dreamed of by a Republican ad-
ministration. Heretofore when the
treasury department has opened it's
doors Wall Street was the chief
beneficiary, which policy of the
government has had much to do with
giving New York millionaires the
power to practically control the f.
naDoes of the country.

The reason why The Advertiser

edly is because the violation of law

selling of Intoxicating liquors, af,
feets the people of this county.

Movement Has Steadily Crown.

When the tomato club work was
first undertaken several years ago
upon small scale in this state little
did anyone think that it would as
sumo such enormous proportions in
so short time. In fact some who
are pessimists by nature predicted
that the movement would soon fail.
The success of the undertaking has
been due chiefly to the perseverance
of the young women who have been
mployed by the government to Or
ganize the school girls. They have
not allowed discouragements to
discourage.
1t is gratifying to notice too how
t he State colleges are giving sub
stantial encouragement to the toma
to clubs ovel the state by purchas
ing the output of their little do
mestic canneries. The State agent
for the tomato club work has closed
contract with Winthrop college
for 600 gallons of tomatoes, and
one with Clemson college for 5000
gallons. Heretofore the Clemson
authorities have been purchasing
their tomat oes in the West.

Pay Dear For Profits.

One of the Aiken papers pub
fishes a detailed statement showing
the exact status of the county's f.
nances and calls attention with evil
dent pride and satisfaction to the
cash balance on hand. It is doubt
less true that, as county, Aiken in
sense resides On Easy Street, but
is it not equally as true that the
means by which she accumulates
tbs surplus wealth causes not few
of her citizens to exc out a misera-
BILE existence on Poverty Row.
1t is not denied that the pletho-
ric condition which obtains in Al
ken is due to the sale Of whiskey
by the county. But let it be borne
in mind that along with the shin
ing gold and jingling silver there
come woe unspeakable and anguish
unutterable that far outweigh every
other consideration. Yes, Aiken is
piling up her so-cailed profits, but
at the same time she is making
record for crime that grows blaoker
and blacker.
Only last week the father of an
Aiken county family came HON:
under the influence of whiskey, and
after consuming the supply on
hand sent his little ll-yearold son
to Aiken for more whiskey. When
the boy of tender years returned tie
beastly father again began to drink,
cruelty mistreating his wife. Being
unable to longer endure such treat
ment of his mother, this same boy
who was sent for the whiskey pick
ed up a pistol ard shot his father
through the head, killing him in
stantly.
Yes, the money Aiken county
made on that fateful quart or gal
Ion of whiskey is portion of the
profits" over which it gloats, but
in the name of Heaven who wants
such money as that in the public
treasury? Shame on Aiken!
