To the many lovers of baseball, the following
will be interesting:
Everett Scott, the brilliant young shortstop for
the Boston Red Sox, has just completed run of
twentyfour errorless games in the course of which
he accepted 143 chances without skip, probably
making a major league record for that position.
Scott made an error May 5, and, according
to Associated Press reports, he was charged with
bobble on May Is, but it seems that the official
credited the batter with hit in that instance
and thus left Scott free to continue his errorless
run, which he continued up till last Wednesday,
when he was spiked early in the game, by Ty Cobb,
after he had tagged that redoubtabe base stealer
out at second Thursday, Scott was we'll enough
to get into the game, but sprained his ankle in
practice and Janvrin took his place in the lineup

IT'S UP TO YOU

If everything went along just right
A Teller would have no reason to fight,
And he would soon be fossilized hack,
With the moss foot thick on his back.
Your life is what you make it yourself.
And no one can lay you on the shelf,
Unless you are sore and willing to quit,
You're the boss of yourself, no doubt of it.
There is no man who's ever down and out
Till he says so himself, beyond doubt.
For many a man has lost fight,
Then turned around and won out right.
For nobody's really whipped / ween,
While his heart is right and his hands are clean.
The man who can smile and fight and smile
Is going to win out after while.
When things are lookin' their very worst,
This kind of man exhibits BURST
Of wonderful speed, surprisin' his friends,
And his chances good for gainin' his ends.
After all is said, be it false or true,
Your own success is right up to you. -Ex.
Faith without works is like bird without WINGS
who though she may hop with her companions here
on earth, yet, if she lives till the worlds end, she
will never fly to heavon.
1t is to you who are grown men, noble and hon
orable that the world calls for work and noble
ness Oh it is great and there is other greatness
to make human hearts little WISER happier and
more blessed.-Exchange.

Herbert Kaufman Says:
Say, you back there in the corner-what are
you mOping about? We can all see the detection
in your face and it invites rejection of your case.
How can we believe in man who doesn't be-
lieve in himself? If you won't fight your own
battles, can't rely upon you to strike hard in
strangers cause.
Where necessity has failed to rouse, mere
wages can never stimulate ability
You've been passing through one of the most
valuable periods in your career, and you haven't
capitalized it.
Force of circumstance has made you pause for
readjustment. You've had time to think calmly
to take stock-to cross-examine yourself thorough
ly upon your resources
But instead of learning the new tangled notions
and the very latest tangents of trade you keep re-
calling the yesterdays which demonstrated lack
of something in your nature which has left you
stranded today.
When you set out on your journey to success
you selected an old fashioned route. There we're
not nearly So many roads to achievement.
You ploded along until you reached the jump
ing off place and you haven't yet awakened to the
fact that before you are stretching hundred un-
trampled highways any of which leads to big
ger future than the goal upon which you originally
fixed.
At this particular moment when we are in
augurating horde of industries to supply our
selves with products that Europe longer sup
ply, with every paper announcing the organization
of companies to exploit range of inventions, the
manufacture and marketing of which will call for
legons of specialists and experts and workers. you
blinded by doubt and cowardice, nurse your yellow
streak and display in attitude and\ tone all the
shameful weakness of the sef-wipped man.
You're good as you ever were-as competent
now as when you held job. You can do as much,
deliver the same degree of efficient service; moth
ing is missing but your nerve and until you find
that you'll find US incredulous and uninterested.
You're not despised- it isn't illegal to lose po-
stion.
You're behaving as though you'd committed
crime and apply for consideration with the didence
and humility of mendicant.
1t is no favor that you seek. Employers give
no more than they receive when they hire skilled
and reliable men.
Drop that bearing of apology and go out and
get what belongs to you.
Quit brooding and get into normal frame of
mind.
There's nothing wrong with you.
You're undergoing experience which all of
us have encountered. Life is series of setbacks
and getbacks
Fortune plays ball with us from time to time,
for our ultimate good.
She gives an occasional hard slam to send us
bounding on to higher and bigger things.

PROMISING INDICATIONS

The progress and correct develop
ment OF d state or city depends al
most entirely upon the mental and
moral condition of the people. Finan-
cial loss and business disaster, due TO
unexpected and unusual conditions,
do not long interrupt success and
greater development, provided the
minds OF the people are free from pre-
judice and other hurtful local con-
ditions.
1t may be putting It rather strongly,
but very many things point to the fact
that politics in this state for the past
several years has brought about more
real injury to the State In morals and
money than has resulted or will result
from the European war. The people
have been divided into hostile camps
and their passions and prejudices con-
stantly enfiamed by the derlagosce;
the traditions Of the past, which held
South Carolina to the front as the
sanest and proudest State in the ma
tion, nave been trampled In the dust.
and the State has become joke End
a sneer in sister States.
But Indications now point to a pros-
porous. even glorious future. The State
has been aroused from its overdose of
bad politics; the people have grown
saner; the disasters resulting from
the European war have turned the
minds Of the people to husbandry,
closer attention to business and true
economy; correct men have been Sc
lected to deal with correct political
measures; past differences have been
buried in the determination to meer
and overcome losses resulting from
tho low price of cotton. In short, the
people are once more sane, have elect
ed sane men to office, have ceased to
complain and have made up their
minds to go to work with greater
energy. A new era has begun and
nothing short of war In this country
which is by no means likely, will keep
back the greatest prosperity this
State has ever known.

Democat;c Eggs in Wilson'S Basket
By say0yara.

II the Democratic party shall pre-
vail in the national election of 1915.
1t will be due to the fact that the
American people approve and indorse
the administration of Woodrow VIII

the Wilson basket. and those senators
In congress-, elected to that body as
Democrats, who Put themselves In OPP

Wilson extorted from congress
more reform than any other president
ever got from that hndy. He -egase;.
to countenance a war against poor
old Mexico. He sought to hold this
country neutral In the tremendous

for war" He fe5uked monopoly
when, ia the name Of patriotism, 1t

the people. He insisted that congress

head to go home aand rest and shirk
its duty. - "a ,- ., I'd, -,
Mr.. Wilson knew he was the head
OF the party responsible for the > fu-

he is confronted with O situation in
