FRIENDS WE CANNOT TRUST

With. that malignant envy which
 turns pale
 And sickens when a friend prevail, Which merit and success pursue wltn
 hate
 And damns the worth it cannot i1ni-
 tate."
 About the sorriest experience wo- man can have is to gather around her a coterie of women whom she calls friends, knowing there is not one among them who is or would be all that that sacred term implies One IS always on her guard with c. stranger, but she whom she trusts can break down the gates of reserve and in a burst = confidence win from her her most carefully-guarded secrets. It IS always the so-called friend" who gives the outside world an intimation that she could unfold a scandal were she so inclined and in the end be- vested in her.
 It is a rare thing for a beautiful wo- man. if she has also popularity and wealth, to gather about her women comrades who honestly admire her
  personality, rejoicing that she has such advantages over them. If she trusts any one of them with the knowledge that she dusts little pow der on her nose to take --- the shine. the men who dmire her will be in- formed, under the ban of strict se- crecy, that her ,eautifCl complexion is not her own by any manner of means-she paints and rouges out rageously and is a perfect fright with out her makeup.
 If she unwittingI- confesses to the woman friend who seems to sympa- thize sincerely with her because of headache that she took powder to relieve it, ere she realizes it the story is insidiously spread about that the discovery has just been brought to light that she is dope fiend who might bear watching.
 If she incautiously takes a glass of wine because of over-fatigue in shop ping, intoxication is tackled on to the list of vices she is charged with. If all who claim to be friends were true, there would be no heartaches among maidens because of trusted chum having cut her out with her best young man.
 Friendship is one of heavens choic- est gifts from woman to woman. The trouble is it is hard to discriminate which is spurious, which is real. Young women form new friendships quickly. Older women do not. The latter winter and summer new ac- Quaintance ere admitting her to the intimate circle of friends whom she holds near and dear.

A woman should not helieve absolutely than another wo- man is her true friend lnhl she has proved her to be such. Those we can not trust we are better off without.

was in the Baptist cemetery Friday af

dutcd by Rev. w. d. Ratchford. Mr.

Wise Editors.

We observe at alarmingly frequent
intervals expressions in the editorial
columns Of our State exchanges indi-
eating that the said editors are up to
SNUFF, so to speak, or wise guys, or
dead game sports and such like.
Here's one from our highly esteemed
confrcre Editor Allie Lee Of the Lau-
rcns Advertiser:
Senator McI.aurin has asked the
govc"' or to call a special session of
the legislature to provide for State in
surancc risks 1t looks as If Mr.. Nc
Laurin drew the wrong card on the
second deal
We have no more idea what he
means than if he had written il in
Choctaw, or Sankrit, or Hebrew, or
Chinese. or Greek, or Latin. But our
Presbyterian brother Of the Charles
ton News and Courier evidently knows
o' iN''''' We SupppSc II - tNlutllI W
one who understands his language
which he puts as headline over
Brother Lees (to us) mysterious
words-'From Cold Deck. \ kind
and world-wise friend whom we have
consulted says the expressions used by
these esteemed brethren are de-
scriptive of certain features in a game
called draw poker"
We gricve to see these brethren so
far departing from the straight path
in which they were brought up and
showing SO much familiarity with
naughtiness. Reared among the strict
est sect of Scotch Presbyterians, they
have gone far astray and lost their
former innocence, as many another
country boy has done. amid the en-
ticing walks of city life. We can't
say, though, that we are much sur
prised, remembering the kind Of towns
they live in.
The incident Is still fresh in men,
ory when daily newspaper canvasser
in the course of his canvassing "sat
in'-wc have been told by our sophis-
ticated friend aforesaid that this is the
correct term-with bunch OF natives

Empirical and incentive knowledge.
In view Of its confessed ignorance
about poker the editorial observations
OF the Newberly Observer are surpris-
ingly clever. \ rudimentary knowledge
Of poke is essential to efficiency" in
journalism although it is a game that
the laity should beware of. The tech
ncal terms of the game have become
the colloquial expressions of philan-
thropists, philosophers, statesmen and
even pulpiteers. The square deal" of
the dear Colonel would be of no sig
nificance were 1t not for the saturation
of the American language with them.
Occasionally we hear eloquent parsons
in the midst of hortatory appeal ex-
claim that some decision or other Is
up to- the congregation. The New
berry Observer is among newspapers
unique. 1t is the only effective news
paper published that has never learned
the principles Of the game. Curiously,
however. it has absorbed much Of its
wisdom and one is driven to suspect
that its editor is one of those rare men
endowed with an instructive under
standing of it--a poker player born
who has never played. When We re-
fleet upon this the conclusion is forced
that his abstinence has been merci-
fu dispcnsation to the rest of us
As for We, our knowledge of the
game is like to our knowledge Of the
higher algebra. The latter we studied
and greatly admired but we never were
intimate with it. 1t was elusive and
illusory, battling and subtle, but we
got close enough TO it to know ii was
there. Despite impcnctrability. IT in
ilucnced us SO with poker. Totally
impotcnt in the direct practice Of its
arts, 1t long ago left us with certain
If small advcntitiOus and altogether
crs OF playing other games, particu-
larly that Of interpretation One who
has not acquired with diligent cXer-
ton some knowledge Of poker could
not hope to divine the skilful plays
intuitivcly made by The Observer.
Even The Observer, one opincs,
would have proiitcd by the possession
Of certain experimental knowledge
Of the game. There Is no such thing
as entertaining for journalism. Just
as undoubtedly the most successful
prohibitionists are persons who have
served for a time as members of
poison squad, The most successful
journalists are women and men who
have at one time or another defied the
devil and all his works and overcome
him. The State.
