1t IL not an easy thing to carry .

of mistakes which bring failure and
Disgrace are made when people lose
their self-poise and fail to use good
judgment.
One of the most dificult things for
a young man to do is to keep q level

little prosperity, to lose ones am
bition for forging ahead by q raise In

great tempters, great destroyers OF
ambition.
1t is q difiicult thing to keep level
head when the storms Of temptation
and financial dificulties are raging
about one: but it is easier than in
prosperity. There IL something In
human nature which braces up
against adversely. which stiffens up
when the world goes hard and makes
one tug the harder; but somehow
ease, comfort and the thought OF
prosperity take the spring out Of the
ambition. The motive to push ahead.
to struggle. to strive, is usually
weakened by the feeling of satisfac-
ton that one has achieved something
worth while. that he has gained what
he started out to get.

What Those Coupons
Mean.

If you met a nickle laying in
your path, would you stoop to
pick it. | guess you would. How
about penny? There are mighty
few people in this town who
would not make a quick dive for
it. Well, that is exactly what
our Cash Coupons are, nickles
and pennies, and enough of them
make dollars, and they are good
as long as we are in business.
OF course, they are not good on
railroad trains nor for postage
stamps, but they are good here.
Based or the present average
purchase, every customer who
enters our store is entitled to a
one-cent cash coupon. Leaving
out Soda Fountain and Cigar
sales the average customer is en-
titled possibly to a five-cent cash
coupon, and, as has been said,
these cash coupons are the same
as money in buying, and that S
all money is good for.
Ask for your coupons when
paying for your purchases.
Spend them now or save them
until you accumulate a goodly
sum. Until some special deals
are arranged they are good for
the purchase of anything in the
store.

race to succeed Governor Cole l..
Blease, can look backward upon
political career which probably
has no equal in the annals of the
nation.
In the prime of young man.
hood. when the Tillman wave
swept over the State in 1890,
Mr.. McLrurin was one of the
principal lieutenants of Capt.
B. r. Tillman and stood high in
the ranks of the 'reformers. I"
He was regarded with political
honors., AS q member of the
general assembly he took part in
shaping Legislation under Gov
ernor Tillman. He was then
elected attorney general and
from there went to congress to
represent the Sixth district. He
was appointed by Governor
Ellerbe to fill the vacancy in the
United States senate made vacant
by the death of Senator Earle
and at the primaries won the
nomination and was elected for
the full term, becoming the col
league of his old time leader,
Senator B. r. Tillman.
,u How Senator McLaurin and
Senator Tillman drifted apart
bscause of the espousing of the
>so-called commercial democracy
by Senator McLaurin and the
final elimination of their troubles
with a personal encounter on the
floor of the United States senate
is recalled in South Carolina.
Mr.. McLaurin was then out of
politics until 1912, when he was
chosen to fill a vacancy in the
State senate caused by the death
of Senator j. B. Green. He took
a leading part in Legislation and
through the sessions of 1913 and
1914 he occupied prominent
places. One of his best known
measures was the proposition to
form a State warehouse system
for storing and grading cotton
and this was passed by the
senate with a provision for a
referendum to be held at the
next general election but the
house killed the bill. The day
the senate decided to refer the
warehouse bill to the people
Senator McLaurin said his col
leagues had forced him into the
race for governor.
