Negro Race Conference.

The sixth annual session of the
negro race conference, or what, might
be called conference for common
good, of which Richard Carroll is
president, meets in Columbia, Feb
ruary 18th and continues in session
to the night of the goth. Able speak
ers from both races are on the pro-
cram. Col. E. J. Watson, commits
sioner of agriculture for South Caro-
lima, and J. W, Thomas will address
the farmers. J. LaBruce Ward, NJ.
D., will address negro physicians.
Reduced rates, on account of the
meeting of the great Lutheran con-
ference of the Southern States, which
takes place in Columbia the same
week. will also be granted to per-
sons desiring to attend the race con-
ference. DR.. B. F. Riley, of Birm-
ingham, Ala, one Of the most prom
inent white preachers in the South,
is to be present and speak on the re-
lation of the white people of the
South to the negro. This conference
is usually largely attended, and is
helpful to the colored people.

RETAIL MERCHANT.
Diligent Attention Necessary to Stop
Leaks.

The waste to be found about a re-
tail store is scary in any case, but
when it comes to the careless proprie-
tor, he is simply not in it at the end
of the year when he makes his in
yentory to find whether he has made
or lost money.
When l was on the road, among
my customers was country mer-
chant in Tennessee. He was as close
as the bark to a tree. Every time
an article was weighed or a piece of
cloth measured by himself or one of
his clerks, he invariably turned his
eve in that direction to see that there
was no waste. He would take out
grains of coffee until he got the even
balance on his scales. That merchant
made some little money, and retired.
He once told me this story:
My experience of 20 years of busl-
ness teaches me, and l figured it out
cry closely many times, that after
retail merchant uses every possible
protection to stop leaks about his
store, he may safely count on 10 per
cent of the cost of his goods going
off in some way-he will never know
how"
Now, if that very close merchant,
with all of his scrutiny, found that
he must sustain loss of 10 per cent.
what will the loss in wastage be of
the average dealer? What will be
the loss to the careless proprietor?.

If the rate on legal advertising is
reduced, as the general assembly is
trying to do, we fancy few newspa-
pers will accept it. They should not
do so, and if the bill passes We trust
every newspaper in the State will
decline the advertising. The news
papers have stood long with hat in
hand and accepted what the politi-
clans handed out. If they would as
sert their independence they would
get along better. The present rate
is none too high. Much of this ad-
vertising is carried for years before
settlement is made, and much of it is
never paid for at all. We have lost
more money on official advertising
since we have been in charge of this
newspaper>th than we have on COM
mercial advertising.

TIRED OF HIMSELF
Reflections Upon the Suicide of
Travelling Man by Omaha News.

' A certain travelling salesman blew
his brains out at Evansville, Ind. He
was just tired of the game.
He was As years old and a bache-
lor. He was a high liver. He had
travelled extensively and knew people
and customs, history and points OF
interest and was still travelling.
Tired of the game? Why ne WASH t
in the game at all. Living for one
self, enjoying oneself wandering
about by oneself isn't the game. For
ty-five years old, and only himself to
work for, do for, live for. No won
der he was tired. but that is no more
being in the game than buying a bag
of peanuts at the tent entrance is
seing the circus.
The game is doing things for 9TH
ers, not caring for self only. The
game is having a home, not chair
in some club room.
The poor devil was simply looking
at the game. He was merely peep
ing over the shoulders of players at
the chess board of life, without know
ing what a pawn" could do to a
king" or a castle to knight,
without having a cent or >heart
throb of his own at stake.
Tired? Of course he was tired.
He was tired because he was out OF
the game. The egotist is father OF
the misanthrope The ripened fruit
of safety is ennui. He whose sole
care is self must be loser, finally.
1t is the law of the game of life.
1T is not we'll that man should live
alone" Yes, for man to live alone
for himself within himself, is fatal.
Such a one has had no mission worth
while. Such a one is dead before
he uses the pistol. Such a one has
not got into the game.-Edltorial in
Ohaha News.

But FEW ARE KILLED.
Some Interesting Statistics AS tt
Fatality of American Trains.

Railway travel in the United States
is not so dangerous to life as the
FREQUENT disasters on the New Haven
and other roads might lead us to be-
lieve. The number of passengers
killed annually shrinks into inslgnltl-
canoe by comparison with the num-
ber who are carried over the roads in
safety.
A New York mathematician estl-
mates the average length of railway
tourney in the United States as "a
miles. The record of fatal accidents
shows that on the average 2, 27o,422
such journeys are taken in safety to
each one which results in killing a
passenger.
If a man were to start riding out
these 2,275,122 safe Journeys at the
rate of two per day for each busi-
ness day in the year, it would take
him 1892 years to complete this
amount of railroad travel. To have
begun riding so that he would meet
his death in a railroad accident dur
ing the present year he would have
had to begin his trips more than l.
500 wears before the Christian era.
AS fatal railroad accidents are few
er in England, Germany and other
countries than here, the showing be-
comes all the more favorable to the
safety of railroad travel when the
whole world is taken into considera-
ton, rather than the United States
alone

Married at Union.

Union. S. c., Feb. Sowing to
the popularity of the couple and the
prominence of the families which
they represent, the marriage of Miss
Don Ella Rice to Mr. Charles H.
Milhous centers more than usual in
terest.
The ceremony was performed at
the home of Rev. Lewis Nj. Rice,
where the bride has made her home
for the past two years, and was wit
messed by the immediate family. The
words which united these two lives
were spoken by Rev. Lewis n. Rice,
a close relative of the bride.
MIR. and Mrs. Milhous left imme-
diately after the ceremony for a
bridal trip through Florida.
The house was decorated with
Killarney roses and ferns, and re-
fiected the individual taste Of the
bride
Mrs. Milhous is the daughter of
the late Dr.. w. D. Rice, for many
years one of the leading Baptist
ministers of the State and for sew
eral years president of the Baptist
State Convention. She has the heri-
tage of men and women long promi-
nent in social and educational lines
in South Carolina. Mrs. Milhous is
a graduate of Greenville Female Col
lege, and is an artist of exceptional
ability.
Mr.. Milhous, since coming to Union
two years ago, has rapidly made a
place for himself in the social and
business world, and congratulations
are being showered upon him.
The brides going away gown was
of dark blue brocade, worn with chif-
fon brouse and close fitting blue hat
trimmed in fur. She carried an eX-
ouisite bouquet of bride roses
showered with valley lilies.
After the wedding journey Mr.. and
Mrs. Milhous will be "at home tC
their friends at the Tinsley cottage
on South street.

He Understood.

In London they tell of certain
DISTINGUISHED statesman who is an op'
timist on all points save marriage.
One afternoon this statesman was
proceeding along country road when
he saw a cottager eating his supper
alone in the road before his dwelling
why, Henry" asked the states
man, why are you eating out here
alone?"
We'll, sir, er-" the man STAN
mered, e-er-chimney smokes.
That's too bad,' said the states
man, his philanthropic sentiment at
once being aroused. IN have it fixed
for YOU. Let's have a look at it. :
And before the cottager could stay
him the statesman proceeded to en-
ter the cottage. AS soon as he had
opened the door broomstick fell
upon his shoulders and a woman's
voice shrieked:
Back here again, are you, you old
rascal. Clear out with you, or Ill
The statesman retired precipitate-
ly. The cottager sat in the road
shaking his head in sorrow and en-
barrassment. The statesman bent
over him, and laid his hand in kindly
fashion on his arm.
Never mind, Henry said he con-
solingly, my chimney smokes some
times, too."-Harper's Magazine.

A Wife's Belief i'm Her Husband.

Ida NJ. Tarbell gives thrilling de-
scription of the work of the court OF
domestic relations in Chicago-a
court which settles dispute between
husbands and wives. Following is a
story of a wife-beating case that Miss
Tarbell saw settled:
In a touching case woman of 80,
gentle, hard-working and respectable,
lad served a warrant on her husband
for beating her. They had no chill
dren; he never drank. He worked
regularly, and regularly beat her up.
She wasn't apologetically, and she
couldn't stand it,. The judge looked
at the big. bent, surly-faced fellow
and broke out in wrath. You've got
to 60 to the Bridewell, that's the
place for you, man who will beat
a woman like, that.-all worn out,
and good wife, anybody can see
that. You'll go to the Bridewell for
a year
The man looked up in real alarm
But what will she do, Judge? We
amt got much ahead. She amt got
ANYBODY but me- How'll she live?
His concern for her was perfectly
since. She's nobody but you, and
you beat her., exploded the judge.
The man seemed like one wakened
from a stupor. I'll never do 1t again,
on my honor | won't. | didn't know
she was sick; l didn't realize. Things
got so hard-nothing but slave, and
| lust got into the habit, guess | took
it out on her. I'll never strike her
again in this world.
The woman behind him, with
the tears streaming down her face,
said: He won't, Judge. Don't send
him away. He won't beat me II ne
says he won't. He has had it hard.
We'll they went off happy and |,
