CAROLINA CATTLE GOOD
Exhibits at State Fair this Year Wore
Greatly Admired.

One of the exhibitors of fine cattle
Chester. He has 29 white faces" as
the Herefords are known. 1t is more
than ten years since Mr.. Cross began
TO exhibit beef cattle and his stock
has been greatly admired. He has now
between 80 and 100 head Of his own
raising. One Of his bulls weighs up
wards of $500 pounds when in condi-
ton.
The Highland Park mill Of Rock
Hill, is another exhibitor Of fine cat
tie, although presenting only a few
animals. Mr.. E. H. Johnston has sent
down a bull in beautiful condition and
the steaks on this big fellow would
make an epicure smile with delight.
Nothing in the United States is finer
than some of the beef cattle now on
exhibition here.
Ii. Guion of Lugoff, has the larg-
est exhibit of beef cattle. He has one
pen of Is calves that are beauties, all
Herefords. Mr.. Guion has raised
over 500 calves of this breed, and has
demonstrated that beef cattle may be
grazed in South Carolina all the year
around, as against about six or eight
months on the plains. Furthermore
he has demonstrated that the climate
and the grasses of the middle part Of
the state make just as strong cattle
as the hill country.
Both Mr.. Guion and Mr.. Cross feel
provoked at the way in which they
have been treated by the veterinary
department at Clemson college. Dur
ing the past year an agitation has
been going on to get the farmers of the
state to form clubs for the purpose or
buying bulls of the beef cattle breeds.
Mr.. Cross says that he has as fine cat
tie as can be found in the west, as he
will say the same thing for Mr.. Guion's
and yet when he offered to sell these
young teachers at Clemson they SEEM
ed to take no interest in his cattle,
giving them but cursory inspection
Mr.. Cross declares that South Caro-
linian should have the preference,
when the price is right, and that the
veterinarians at Clemson are northern
men who seem to have no confidence
in what is produced here.-Columbia

Just Lessons.

Troubled little ten-year-old, doubled
in your chair,
Puzzling over lesson books, filled with
black despair.
Just outside the breeze Is warm and
all the skies are blue,
And not bird or butterfly has any
sums to do.
The care-free rabbits romp and run
along the shaded lanes
With never any grammer books to
tangle up their brains.
But how can little prisoners have any
time to play
With lessons, lessons. lessons all the
long, long day?
On the sunlit river shore the quiet
turtles bask,
Nor care about the answers to the
questions teachers ask.
The brindle pup is sleeping in some
soft and sheltered nook
He doesn't need to learn to read from
some dull prosy book.
The silver trout are leaping where the
marsh-fiies skim the pool,
And no one tries to wash them up and
send them to school.
But here one cannot laugh nor lark,
one cannot even speak;
It's lessons, lessons lessons all the
long, long week.
Alas! while rolls this weary world
around the shining sun,
We never find that happy day when
lesson time is done.
When from the dog -eared number
books the little boy shall turn,
He still will find a myriad Of lessons
yet to learn.
And when across the path Of life the
twilight shadows fall,
He'll know that no one in this world
can ever learn them all.
For life is but a smile or two and toll
and pain and tears,
And lessons, lessons, lessons all the
long, long years.
John ]. Montague.

A DAY OF COMPROMISE.
A Strong Essay in Which the Writer
Asks Some Pertinent Questions.

This is the day Of compromise; the
day of accommodating beliefs; the day
of least resistance. Nobody wants tc
offend. Everybody desires to please
Everybody is more or less afraid OF
being called a fanatic" or of being
thought extreme" Not all; but tina,
is the spirit of the day. Opinions are
colorless, or if not colorless only very
slightly tinted. The bright red or the
deep blue or the green as grass" are
seldom seen; instead it is the pink
and pale at that, or the nile green OF
the baby blue.
The human mind seems to be fol-
lowing the fashions and taking on
simply tints. The days Of convictions
are gone. Deep emotions are out OF
style. Admiration is relegated to the
uncultured. Views and opinions are
plentiful enough; but what has be-
come Of convictions? The blood flows
gently and calmly; blushing is vul-
gar; chivalry is antiquated and bash
fulness is subject Of mirth.
For my part like to see a man, OIL
woman either, take decided stand
and have positive opinions on subjects
that concern human life and human
conduct-not necessarily to protrude
them on other people, but to proclaim
them if the occasion requires it-not
compromise for the sake Of being po-
lite and pleasant.
/ like to see persons who believe
something strongly and really; with
whom conviction is more than an i'm
preston or a fancy, and who are Loyal
to their convictions.
What has become Of the deep
water" Baptist and the shouting
Methodist, and the true blue" Pres
byterian"? The Lutheran bears testi-
mony to the quality Of his religion in
the very name by which he is called
and calls himself. Where are the peo-
pie who once thought that their
church, whatever it might be, was the
best Of them all? "One's as good as
another, is the way they talk now.
Well, there is no sense in being
bigoted; but 1 like a man who loves
his church with an undying loyalty
and doesn't try to hide it; who knows
and believes in her doctrines. and
wants to see her stand high in the
community and in the world. The man
who is not that way may claim to be
mo sectarian." He probably isn't; and
it is an easy guess that he does not
care much about the church universal
either. The man who loves his own
father or mother most respects other
fathers and other mothers most.
1t is the same way with a good
church member.
1t is the same way in politics.
How many men there are who sup
press their honest opinions and efface
their personality because they fear tC
lose a nickel, or dime, or a dollar, OF
hundred dollars in business!
There is no sense and no call to be
extensively partisan or sectarian; but
man ought to know where he stands
and he ought to let the people know
where he stands. let the sacrifice be
what it may.
/ like to see men with red blood ir
their veins and not milk and water;
men with convictions and not mere i'm
pressions and vague fancies.-New.
