MY AIDS.

When I've burden harsh that l must bear
Too heavy for my shoulders. and grim care
Would make the whelmng task much harder still
With dark forcbodings OF some future i'll,
/ summon Hope, and Fearcssness, and Mirth,
And bid them rid me OF my present dcarth
OF power, and request them to assume
The heavy portion of my load OF gloom;
And we four, arm-in-arm, take up that load
And start along the rocky, thorny road,
And singing courageous song soon find
All sense of helpcssness left far behind
And with light heart and cagcrncss OF soul
Press on and on, and smiling win the goal

| was interested in the story because, a short
time before, had been hearing that competition
gave wonderful stimulus to invention. What
had that inventor worked for? Was it financial
reward Or was it love OF discovery or was it
the zeal OF the scientific man?
BY the way. that zeal must be good deal like
the zeal OF the hunter. only infinitely in
spring. Think OF pressing eagerly, furously,
the hunter docs after game, only after lar noblcr
game, the discovery that is going to wrcst from

says that the idea is private property. As II an
idea ever could be private property. Behind IT
there may be long procession OF ideas, freely
given out by human beings.
There is nothing so mysterious in the world as
the source OF an idea called original Some people
go so far as to say that original idea does not
exist. That is, no idea is original. All ideas come
from the infinite. from nature or from God, or
from whatever source they choose to attribute to
the infinite. But strong is the belief in prop

couraging effort, for stimulating work through ma

can now be, if he chooses industrial tyrant. His
idea will then be the property of the world without

Aged Negro Hangs Himself.

hanging himself in Mr. Gossett's
barn at an early hour Saturday morn
ing. DR.. Frank Lander advised Cor
oner Hardin over the telephone Of
the act, and declared that it was a
suicidal act beyond any doubt The
coroner did not think an inquest nee
essary.
Webb was the handy" man around
the Gossett home for many years. He
attended the stock. the garden, the
lawn. and, in fact, attended to the
place in general. Some time ago he
decided to go to farming and Mr..
GoSsett placed him on his farm. The
negro is said to have been drinking
heavily lately, and this probably ac-
counts in some degree for his taking
his life.
Persons going in the barn about
daybreak Saturday morning found
Webb's body hanging from the cell
ing. Life had just become extinct,
for his body was still warm.

TEST GALLON-A-MONTH LAW.
Proceedings Begun Which will FL

Columbia, June 2.-The testing Of
the constitutionality of the Gallon
a-month Act" will be watched with
interest throughout the State. Pro-
cecdings TO test the act have begun
through mandamus injunction
brought by Logan & Graydon, of Co
lumbia, for T. f. Bremen, against
the Southern Express Company, who
asks that the defendant "be perpet-
ually enjoined from refusing to ac-
cept from outside points whiskey for
South Carolina, and from declining
to deliver such liquors so offered for
the personal use of the plaintiff"
The case will eventually find it's
way to the Supreme Court of the
United States. This act has attract
ed much attention owing to the
vigor with which it has been en-
forced through the initiative OF Gov
ernor Manning.
The prohibitionists are making
preparations for an active canvass of
the State prior to the referendum
election on September II, as to whe-
thcr or not the State will vote
'dry." At conference here A.
Mason DuPre, head Of the Wofford
Fitting School, was chosen chairman
of steering committee, the Rev. G..
f.. Burts, Of Columbia, vice chair
man, and ID. w. Robinson, Of Co
lumbia, secretary, and an executive
committee was selected to have di-
rect charge Of the canvass. Speak
ers will address voters at gatherings
in each county prior to the refcrcn-
dunn election on the question of pro-
hibition and it is possible that some
of the national prohibition speakers
will be brought into the State to as
sst in the fight. So far no organ
ized opposition has appeared to pro-
hibitiOn and it is believed the mat
ter will go by default, those oppOs-

OUR WARNING TO MEXICO.
President Sends Note to Warning
Factions i'm Southern Republic.

Washington, June 2.--President
Wilson, in the name Of the United
States government, to-day publicly
called on all factions in Mexico "to
accommodate their differences and
set up a government that can be ac-
corded recognition"
The text Of the Presidents state
ment follows:
Wilson'S Warning.
For more than two years revolu-
tiorary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose OF the revolu-
ton was to rid Mexico OF men who
ignored the constitution OF the re-
public and used their power in con-
tempt Of the rights Of it's people, and
with these purposes the people of
the United States instinctively and
generously sympathized. But the
leaders Of the revolution, in the very
hour OF their success, have disagreed
and turned their arms against one
another.
they are nevertheless unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner
set up than it is undermined and it's
expected to support it.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution Of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was
first kindled. And she has been
swept by civil war as if by fire Her
crops are destroyed, her fields lie
unsceded, her work cattle are confis-
Gated for the use Of the armed fac
tions, her people flee TO the noun
tains to escape being drawn into un-
availing bloOdshcd, and no man
seems to see or read the way to
peace and settled order. There is
no proper protection either for her
own citizens or for the citizens of
other nations resident and at work
within her territory. Mexico is
starving and without a government.
Cannot Stand IndincrcntIy.
"In these circumstances the peo-
pie and government OF the United
States cannot stand indifferently by
and do nothing to serve their neigh
Dor. They want nothing for them
selves in Mexico. Least of all do
they desire to settle her affairs for
her, or claim any right to do so. But
neither do they wish to see utter
