Dear Cousin Percy,-This here
thing of getting rich comes to man
but once in life time and>when it
happens he knows it. You can rem
ember when you had to wash your
feet the first day you went barefoot,
and the time when you had your
first tooth pulled, and the time when
you first wore long breeches, and the
time. when we went to see your girl
the first time, as we'll as the time
when you got married. But as you
haven't experienced it, 1 want to tell
you that all these things put togeth-
er give you nothing of the kind of
feeling a man has when he finally
finds out that he is threatened with
riches. It takes a strong man to
cross over the Alps and land in the
Italy of riches. I do not see how a
sickly man, or even man who is
not strong, like Uncle Jim for in
stance, is able to stand it. But Un-
Gle Jim has been through it too, and
we are now firm of rich men, Uncle
Jim and I.
Well, you know that rich man
should put on style in keeping with
his riches. I am trying to do that.
But there can be style in talk as
we'll as in fact, and I am talking
rich now for little while and at
the same time my money is drawing
interest. There are several ways to
do this. One is to call on all your
neighbors and try to buy lot from
each one of them. If your neighbor
has desirable lot which you know
he will not sell, rush in on him in a
hurry and say, eff you want. so and
so for that lot, let me know in a
half hour; no use to say anything af-
ter that" then go off and hide until
the half .honr is over. Another way
is to always be too busy to talk to
people unless they owe you. For in
stance, if you are sitting in your Of
flee smoking good cigar, which a
drummer has given you, and you
hear somebody coming about the
first of the month who might have a
bill, just make out like you are busy,
and before the party has time to say
anything just yell out like you are
mad that you are too busy to attend
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1919-04-11

to tread and try to make display OF
your riches. Nothing should be fur
ther from you.
But you had better pay full in
come taxes. I have had little ex-
perience with your Uncle Sam, and
he is slicker, if anything, than Uncle
Jim in a mule trade, and you can't
get by him. He will drop you note
some day and say that you failed to
pay sixty-ive cents which you were
due him, and that if you will send
said sixty-five cents with twenty dol
lars fine, and tell them all about it
and apologize for helping support
the government, they will take off
the full one thousand which they
could put on you. Now you may
think you would argue long time
with man before you would do that
but if you ever get one of these
from Uncle Sam you will be sur
prised at yourself how quick you
will send the money to Uncle Sam
and apologize for not sending it
sooner, and promise to do better the
next time.
Well, I hear my boy J. D. Jr., call
ing me on the long distance. That
is another thing which a rich man
can do-talk on the long distance a
good deal, but don't make the dis
tance too far and don't talk too long,
or it will get you into trouble. You
can say to so and so, GAS I was talk
ing on long distance last night,
such and such a thing happened"
without going into any details as to
where you talked, whether to Green
wood or New York, but be sure to
look like you do a good deal of this
kind of talking. 49,.
Well, when you are rich another
thing I would like to say is, do not
let the college where your boy goes
to school know it, and tell him to
grumble a good deal about expenses.
Because I will tell you something
about these colleges. The catalogue
will say that the entire expenses are
S491, and you will send along this
amount, with one dollar and ninety
cents for pocket change for the boy,
and in about two weeks they will
want $685. for an extra, and in about
another month there will be another
extra, and by the time the first STAN
"a of the school ends you wonder
whether you are running the college
or the man who is at the head Of it.
throw this in for what it is worth.
Yours truly, |
Cousin Davis.
P. S.-Love to all.

, PROVING THE PROMISE

For good many centuries the sons Of men
have been promised that if they tried it they would
find that it was more blessed to give than to
receive. $500 't''''
But for the most part the sons Of men let this
text alone.
War has certainly improved this nation.
First we gave because we had to- then because
we felt we ought to, and now We are giving be-
cause we prefer to give.
Never has the public given so generously to
every request.
And we are giving more all the time
We met all the drives and loans and taxes with
out hesitation; and though the exactions mount
higher each week there is sign of public protest
And now, when one would imagine that public
giving would be relaxed bit, we find the purses
opening wider than ever.
One church starts campaign for 500, 0O0, 900
10 eyangelze the world.
Almost every church plans to raise more for
missionary work, reconstruction work, pensions,
social service, salaries, buildings, than before
and several churches have launched plans that call
for funds far beyond all former expectation.
Society is busy adopting French orphans, or
finding work for returning soldiers; or rebuilding
devastated towns; or filling million bottles with
nickels and dimes for hungry babies.
Il has been considered not quite the decent
thing to die with all your money intact, but now
not only is there no protest over Uncle Sam taking
most of the larger incomes, but there is general
ambition to spend what may be left in making this
better world 80 ID

nothing; and, as nation, we are discovering that
the beatitudes follow service, and happiness
with self-sacrifice.
We always were supposed to believe this, but
today we are living it.

 Briefly, -Lilac Time is a tale of the Great war, love and springtime. It deals chiefly with Jeannine, a peas- ant girl, in whose home some British soldiers arc billeted. Lieut.. Blythe falls in love with the French girl and on the day after they plight their trOth he is sent on a desperate errand into the enemy's lines. A year passes, during which time Jeannine waits pa tiently, Finally, as his troops march through the town returning from the lines, word is brought to her of her lovers death In the final moments of the play, however, the report is fOun q to be erroneous and the lovers are re- united.
