THESE LITTLE ONES

He was round-faced earnest lit

Posts with no great effort, but the

the minutes stretched into hours

tie business man seemed homeless
He opened the doors of a bank and
with some awe wended his way back
to the presidents room and present-
ed the copy for sale. The big heart
ed man already had a COPY of the
Post, but with fine interest in
these little ones, he asked the lad n

READING.

Show me the man, woman, boy or
girl who likes to read and who does
read, and 1 will show you one who
knows something. Observe in almost
any home you visit the hooks and
papers you see lying around and you
may Judge in no small degree of the
Intellectual tastes and general in
telligence of the family.
A man is known by the company
he keeps. This is an old saying but
very true one when it comes to
reading. Children should have good
books placed where they can read
them for they go 10 help mould the
character OF the growing child. and
Z will remcntar in the years to come
The impressions gotten from reading
looks when :. chill. Give the child
the right xiii Of books to read and
when it grows up nothing but the
right sort of book will interest them.
and nothing but the progressive
things of life will satisfy them.
Take time to read good papers and
books for that is the only way one
part Of the world gets ahead of the
other. Abraham Lincoln stuGied by
the light of pine torch. He read all
the books he could borrow or buy,
and that is the way he developed that
big mind and heart while he split
rails and did other hard work during
the day. He could never have gone
from the log cabin to the White
House IL he had not read books to
develop his mind
Our Mill boys and girls have SO
much better chance tnan Abraham
Lincoln ever had. Most mills have
a library which contains the very best
books, and they can be had for the
asking. There is q night school al
nearly all mills for those who want
to study and have not had an oppor-
tunity to go to school when children

THE IMPROVED PRICE.

Last year the cotton farmer, while
being ground between the upper and
the neither stones caused by the
war, bewailed the fact that he had
plenty of cotton but it was worth
practically nothing.
Just anything to boost the price
This year cotton has gone back to
a reasonable, living price and still the
poor farmer is in trouble from the
simple fact that he hasn't the cotton
to sell. The crop is short for various
reasons Lack of money to buy ferti-
lizers, the diversification idea which
cut down the acreage; and as the sea-
son was most unpropitious for full
crop.
The staple will bring a good price
this year and the chances are that it
will continue to advance, and may
reach Is cents a pound. No one can
tell.
But business in every line is un-
doubtedly showing the benefit from
the higher price and the farmer who
sells and pays his debts is the man
who is really helying not only him
self but every other interest,"

THE TRUTH ABOUTMANNING


1t is good beginning, and will lead
eventually to a statewide act that can
be enforced because the people will
respect the law and see that it is car
ried out.
An act creating a state board of
charities. The purpose of this law is
20 afford better treatment to the un-
fortunates in our asylums and penal
institutions. The treatment of pris-
oners especially has been primitive
and in some cases barbaric, and the
possibility Of reclaiming the convict
ed man and giving him a new start
in life when his term is up has been
given little attention heretofore in
this state. This board can do great
things for the public good, and it has
certainly made a fine start.
An act placing the asylum for the
insane upon a sound business and hu-
manitarian basis. The. asylum has
teen the football of politics in South
Carolina for long time, and a condi-
ton Of inefficiency, extending over
many years, has brought the institu-
ton far down the scale of good man
agement. The new act is designed to
improve. If not to revolutionize condi-
tions, and the work that has already
been done under the new board of
regents is proof positive that waste
of money is going to be prevented
and that the best possible results
will be obtained.
These are leading reforms. Others
will follow, in the way perhaps Of q
workable system of rural credits, a
warehouse system that will reach the
small producer as we'll as the large
one, and other measures for the re-
lief and progress OF the working and
producing man.
Unofficially. Governor Manning act
ed as arbitrator in the strike of the
Columbia street railway men, and the
successful manner in which he handl-
ed the situation shows tht he has a
just appreciation of the relations that
exist between employer and employee
and that he understands, from the
standpoint of sympathy and mutual
interest, the problem and trials Of the
man who tolls.

open door, we know that those who
1ave in their hearts the impulses OF
these little ones are the men after
their own hearts and lives. The
only way to assimiliate the nature
of childhood is to be Interested in
these little ones, to share with them
their joys and their sorrows, to shup
giving the poorest and least of them
offense, and by helping them with
sympathy in all their childhood am
bitions and undertakings.
The great scientist, Darwin. said
if he had life to live over again he
would hear some music and read
some poetry every week, for by SO
doing in old age parts of his brain
would be active and bring &c him en-
joyment and would not be dead and
near the close of his career that if

is deeply regrettable, but as the
years go on and the heart becomes
hardened for lack of childish touch.

LIFE WITH AN INSPIRATION.

Stick to your dream, boy. Let
nothing swerve you from the path
that leads upward toward the fulfill
ment Of your life's ambition.
You will meet with difficulties and
discouragements, but when you do,
just think of the man Herreshoff,
the boat builder, who died the other
day up in Rhode Island. In his life
you ought to find inspiration enough
to lift you over any obstacle.
A writer in one of our exchanges
says that when John b. Herreshoff
was a boy his ambition was to design
and build the fastest boats in the
world. He became blind when yet a
boy. That would have discouraged
any ordinary boy, for how could a
blind man design model that he
could not see? But Herreshoff
stuck to his dream. The reavy han
dicap of blindness only made him
press on all the harder.
The blind boy sat in eternal dark
ness and whitfield out his boat mod
els. Gradually there developed in
his fingers a muscle sense that was
worth more to him than eyesight
would have been. Slipping the model
of boat through his hands he could
tell how it should be shaped to slip
through the water with the least re-
! sistance, Other designers figured out
their models by complex mathemati-
cal calculations. But the blind boy
felt with his sensitive fingers, and
! his models were the best. for when
he was twenty-four years old he built
the fastest yacht the world has ever
| known and, while he could not see
: the boat go, he felt the dash anG
plunge and swiftness OF It, and hi
: wept when they told him the boa
had won the race.
The fame of the blind designer o
fast boats spread round The worlt
and England, Russia and Italy CAV;
him contracts for their fastest tor
pedo boats. He died a few days ago
a wealthy man, for he had stuck t,
his boyhood's dream and achieved /
fully.-Fort Mill Times.

The undercurrent of criticism of
Governor Manning seems to have
spent its force, and there Is now an
evident disposition among those who
oppose him to Judge him according
to what he has accomplished during
his administration so far. This Iaper
is in no sense a partisan of any pub
lie official, but it's policy is to give
praise where praise is due and to Of
fer criticism where criticism should
be directed.
II Governor Manning had made no
mistakes, he could hardly be human.
The wisest statesmen and the most
far-seeing man In public position can
not help occasional errors of judg-
ment, but as long as the good of the
state is the controlling motive Of ac-
tion no harm or injustice can be
done.
The present administration, sup
ported by a general assembly that
ranks will with the best OF Legislative
bodies in many years, has made q de-
cided step forward in material prog
ress and reform for the good of the
state. Constructive legislation in
South Carolina has been help back by
reactionary forces for long time
but change has come and the peo-
pie are ready and demand of their
servants that they do something
worth while.
The important constructive leg
islation that was passed at the last
session Of the legislature makes quite
an attractive program of reform
measures for start. Here are some
of them:
An act establishing state tax com.
mission. The purpose Of this law Is
to equalize the burdens of taxation sc
that they may fall equally and with
out discrimination upon our people
Tax assessments are grossly unequal
some classes of property paying ter
times as much as other kinds Of prop
. terty, and the effort is being made tc
overcome this and put all property or
exactly the same footing.
An act putting compulsory educa
tion into force In the school district.

with the idea that the people Of eacf

tions and understanding their owl
peculiar needs, should have the righ
to say whether or not they desir,
