Start Hustiins.
Christmas not being more than four
teen rods Off and rapidly coming in
this direction, II is incumbent on ev-
erybody to get hustle on and attend
to his holiday shopping without fur
ther delay.-Gaffney Ledger.
Becoming Annoying.
II somebody, we don't care who 1t
may be, will invent bed sheets that
decline to absorb all the cold air in
the neighborhood, we know where
they can sell several pairs. This
thing Of sliding with fear and shiver-
ing between the two frigid pieces Of
cloth is getting more than annoying
Greenville News.
But Germany Has Them.
Germany denied that she is near
famine. For the sake Of the multitude
Of non-combatants, it Is to be hoped
that this is So But this is not the
point in war; The Confederacy was
not threatened with famine in 1855.
What Lee could not get was men and
new fighting equipment.-Spartanb

Slow But Surs.
Woman suffrage was defeated last
week in three great eastern states,
New York, Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania. This followed the recent
defeat Of woman suffrage in New Jer-
sey It does look to a man up
tree that the dear ladies will have to
wait awhile before they can use the

The Governor 10 Right.
In taking the position that the sal
aries Of state officers should not be in
creased at this time. Governor Man
ming Is entirely right, to our mind.
The salaries Of all state officers, and
many county officers, are too low, 1t Is
true, but the people are now trying
to recuperate. from the ruinous condi-
tions of the past eighteen months, and
1t would not be right to further bur-
den them with increased taxes to raise
salaries now.-Bamberg Herald.
Your Grandfather.
Ii your grandfather managed. to make
a living, why can't you? Herbert
Kaufman asks this pointed question
and then follows 1t up by pointing out
that your grandfather dealt with
thousand handicaps you are not called
upon to face It Is true. The world
Of today is full of advantages beyond
the reach Of his arms and imagination.
There are still sixty minutes to the
hour but the day is really three times
as long as 1t was with the big men
Of fifty years ago and consider what
some of them accomplished. The
thinkers are the winners now as then.
Ever think Of It? Do 1t now.-Green-
wood Index.
Why tho Malaria?
At least three or four citizens Of
this community are laid up, or have
recently been laid up with malaria;
and we're impelled to ask the Ques-
ton, why should there be any ma
laria at all in Chester located as 1t
is on high hills and with splendid
natural drainage? Malaria, to our
way of thinking, Is one Of the most
serious evils that community can be
troubled with, and rather than have
the evil in the communitys midst 1t
would be better for the time being to
suspend every other improvement or
department Of endeavor and fight this
one evil. We don't believe that cli-
matte conditions this summer and fall
have favored the mosquito more than
in other years. The trouble must
have been that there has not been the
determined and continuous fight
waged on the pest that was necessary
to keep 1t won.-Chester Reporter.
Loafers.
There are two classes Of men who
deserve sympathy. The first and last
deserving class is composed Of bach
elors. Many of them have money,
freedom to go and come without re-
straint Of conscience, and freedom to
become abnormally and utterly selfish,
but, for all that, they miss the only
real pleasure in life-the sympathetic
and understanding companionship Of a
woman. The other class Is composed
Of loafers II ever any man deserved
the sympathy Of his fellows, that man
deserves 1t who has nothing to do
from morn till dewey eve but butcher
time and wait for his meals. Without
ambition or reasonable desire, he Is
prey to his own inertia and fat. Life
for him Is mere existence. II he arises
at an early hour, it is only that he may
get an early start waiting for bed time.
He smokes too much, drinks too much,
grows adipose in the launches and
soft in the brain. He becomes like
stalled OK; dull, beefy, without wit or
wisdom. The business man puts In
half century in decent employment and
then, when industry has become sec
ond nature to him, retires to enjoy
life" The enjoyment" consists OF
sinking quickly into grave. The
wealthy farmer adopts the same plan,
and meets with the same end. Idle
ness Is death to the man whose brain
or muscles have been Injured to toll
1t is not death, but indeterminate
uselessness and endless folly to the
young man who has some money but
no task to fill his hours. Pity the man
who does no work. The world has no
use for them. He has no use for him
SELF He doesn't know what real
pleasure is, and never will know.
Life will always taste bitter to him,
and the years will only make the dregs
more bitter. The horny handed son
Of toll" isn't deserving of all the
gushing sympathy bestowed upon him
by loud -mouthed politicians. He works
and sweats and digests his meals. He
is the favored son Of Adam. Only
