there is no condition cannot ge Just
little worse, and it is true that
some OF the conditions that we call
hardships would prove blessings to
those more unfortunate circumstan-
ced than ourselves. Because we
have missed the best that is in life 1t
does not follow that there is nothing
else left that is worth while; be-
cause our sun set before it's rays
warmed our lives" is no reason why
we must mourn in the darkness for
ever There are many other things
nlife to light our way through the
shadows and gloom that seem to shut
us in at times, and these beacons

VINO determine not to give up with
out at least making a good fight to
the lasth If we remain inactive ond
indifferent as to whether or not we
accomplish anything at all; if we
make no effort to find our way out
OF the shadows, or if we are content
to hind ourselves from those who
would give us helpin ghand if they
knew, we can expect nothing save
failure and unhappiness. 1t is easy
enough, of course, TO theorize upon
such subject and we all know that
iacts are much harder to counteract
than theories and counsel is often
not worth the time it takes to offer
1t, yet, when we come down to bot
tom rock, as it were, it is unquestion-
ably true that strength of character
of purpose, and of conviction are big
factors in solving the problem of sue

more than anything else-those nat
ural weaknesses which are so appa-
rent to othters, and yet to which we
are ourselves blind-that bring
about our failure. 1t is true that
the conditions under which we labor
have a great deal to do with the mat

trouble to inform ourselves, that GER
tain conditions may be overcome il
we are strong enough to attempt the
task.
Because things do not work out as
we had anticipated, indeed, as we
probably had every reason to expect
they would work out, is no reason
why we should give up in dispair and
admitting our failure, be content to
be misery both to ourselves and
those about us. 1t is far better to keep
on trying even if we seem to do
nothing very much at first, rather
than to simply stand by idly and

BEGINNING TO WAKE Up.

We certainly are glad to note
that the country is beginning to wake
up to the fact that corporations are
not the mean things they have been
painted by certain class of poll
ticians and few misinfOrmed. mis-
guided or misfitted newspaper men.
We note that bill was recently in
troduced in the Alabama legislature
having for it's object the encouraging
" industries of this class by freeing
hem from taxation for certain
number OF years. Also similar
move was made by the city council
of Savannah, Ga And the tone of
the press generally for several
months past has been in favor of
more leniency toward corporations.
This Is nothing but right and Just
and shows that the people are be-
ginning to see that in place of mis-
representation and abuse, CORPORA
tions should be encouraged. When
the Atlanta and Charlotte railroad d
was first proposed, this county voted
$1O0,000.00 in ponds to have 1t come
through the county. The narrow
minded politician at once began q
trade of abuse of the commissioners
who signed the bonds, making the
people dissatisfied. and they actually
went so far as to hang some of the
commissioners in effigy; simply be-
cause they signed the bonds. The
bonds. however, were paid in time
and IT has turned out'that the voting
Of these bonds was the best invest
ment that county ever made. A mon
ument should be erected by the peo-
pie Of Pickens county to the memory
of Jacob Anthony and his associates
who signed the railroad bonds. He
was an honorable Christian gentle
man and had the foresight and the
manhood TO do his duty, regardless
of the clamorings and vaporings OF
people who are governed. not by rea-
sen. but by passion. -Easley Progress

SNOBS
z.

Did YOU ever walk down the street
OF fine morning, in the free and
easy manner of plain, decent every
day American citizen, and meet one
OF those fellows who looked down or
you with coldly archcd eyebrows ana
then bite off a frozen word or two as
ne passed his greeting? You may
have known him as intimately as one
cCald since you played together "a;
the mud-pie stage of your childhood,
and YOU know that his demeanor to-
ward you is in no wise due to the
drubbing you gave him that day
down by the "crick" when he insult
cd you with some supercilious remark
about your folks. That, long ago,
was sent by him TO the attic room of
memcry.
Since you've grown up and attain
ed the age of partial discretion-no
man ever reaches the full measure
OF it, as some wiSeacres would have
you believe-you've learned the
plain, unvarnished truth. The poor
fellow can no more change his man
ners or his opinion of others than "a
chameleon can regulate his hues.
You feel more charitable to him on
that account, although you cant
help a sneaking disposition to take
hold of him and shake him as a ter
rier does rat.
He is a rare bird-a snob--if you
know what that means. You may be
versed in the fine arts and skilled in
all the sciences, and yet you may not
really know what a sonb is like un-
less you have seen one at close range
or unless you have felt him--and
then you1l never forget the type.
A snob has no place in genuine
American life. He is an exotic, a
hybrid creature, cross between a
mollycoddle and run-to-seed aristo-
crat He is victim Of old-world
caste transplanted in a new world
democracy, whose spirit he can
neither interpret nor appreciate.
Do you ever, in moment of weak
ness induced by the applause Of your
friends for something unusual you
have done, find yourself thinking that
you are just wee bit finer clay than
other folks? Honestly now, do you?
Well. II you have committed the
deadly sin, you have set your foot in
land and you'd better reverse the ma
chinerv of your good common sense
and take back track as rapidly as

clog the honest efforts or others. We
may not be able to win the success
large part in life whether we win
honors or not. IL is the weakling
who admits his failure and gies up
in despair; it is the strong man who.
undaunted by mistakes works his
way out of the wreckage of his fail
ures and faces the world anew. True.
IN sun of our happiness may have
sunk to rest before we realize its
blessings. but, at least, we can per-

WE MUST NOT FAIL
r = - r. - r. 4. - AZ = =. -. :.

Sometimes we say that our lives
are failures and that we have ac-
complished nothing that we set out
to do Such spirit, however, is
not worthy of those who have the
strength and ability to take their
places in the ranks of the worlds
hard fighters and strive anew for the
honors they have missed. II it quite
probable, of course, that we may
been handicapped, and still are. in
our efforts to achieve something reall-
ly worth while. yet, unless we are to-
tally unfit either physically or ment-
ally for the battle which is forever
going on, there is always a chance
that we may at last turn our past
failure into brighS success. Some
times, ii is true, we lack the ambi-
sometimes we feel htat there is
nothing to encourage us to 70 furth-
effort; sometimese we wonder if the
gone is worth thte candle, yet unless
we are able to rouse ourselves from
the apathy of indifference which at
times settles upon us we shall soon
drift into miserable stateof ex-
istance far removed from the condi-
tion that could have been ours. Our
sun sets sometime before it's ravs
have warmed our lives, and with it's
ions fthe past the daylight dies
away and leaves us PROSTATE in the
dark. 1t is not easy in such con-
ditions to lcok up and accept the fate
that lies at hand, nor is il easy TO

dreams when others at our side en-
JOY to the full their cup of happiness
II Is not that we begrudge them their
JOYS and their blessings: it is not
that we would like to see them dis
satisfied with life, nor yet that we
think them underserving of their
happiness but, the very fact that
they revel in the blessings we have
imssed, is not conductive to our cor
tentment.
We must not forget, however, that
behind all the apparent unfairness
as eiewvd by our human eyes, lies a
good hoiesome reason, which, while
not plain TO us, Is sufficient in the
sight Of the Divine Providence which
directs our lives. We cannot sit in
the sunshine all the time; indeed
many OF us feel its wamth for only
short periods of our lives, and there
are still others who are forced
through hard circumstances to stay
in the shadows always. We may not
be satisfied with our lot, in life, but
