THE sTINGY MAN AND THE
THIEF
a Parallel)

II
The stingy man loveth gain, and
the thief loveth gain. The stingy
man Is a coward--he hath no spine.
The thief is not altogether a coward,
and often he hath very seemly
spine.
The stingy man keepeth within the
letter Of the law because he feareth
10 transgress it. The thief boldly
breaketh the law and maketh sport
of its officers.
The stingy man valueth the law
because it protecteth him in some
measure against the thief. The law
doth not protect the thief against the
stingy man, but the thief laugheth.
The stingy man hateth and feareth
the thief. The thief scorneth the
stingy man.
The stingy man pretendeth to pow
erty and when his poor neighbor
giveth Five OF Ten Dollars 10 a
worthy charity, he giveth fifty cents
or nothing. When the thief hath
money, sometimes he shareth with
his less fortunate friend, and when
all his money is gone he stealeth
\ more.
The stingy man is always miser-
able. He feareth for the safety Of
the wealth which he hath, and lieth
awake TO covet his neighbours goods.
Often he goeth cold and hungry. The
thief is miserable when he is cold or
is hungry, but he taketh what he
fndeth and satisfeth his hunger and
clotheth himself.
The stingy man loveth nothing but
gain. The thief loveth many things,
and many things that are worthy.
The stingy mans cese is hopeless
not one Of his Kind hath repent ID.
The thief can make restitution and
steal no more-the stingy man can
not cease from being stingy.
The stingy man is narrow and
mean in wealth and in poverty. The
thief, when unfortunate, is poor;
when he hath money, he is a sport.
The stingy feareth all things ex.
cept the helpless. He robbeth the de-
fenseless by all means, and the strong
by legal means. The thief feareth
little. He robbeth all and sundry by
illegal means, and braveth the peni-
Tertiary.
The stingy man delighteth TO prey
upon the necessities of the poor.
The thief preyeth upon property, and
the substance Of those who have
property.
All stingy men are liars. Some
thieves are not liars. Stingy men
pay their debts because the law
forceth them. Many thieves pay
their debts as a matter Of honor.
There is no place for honor in the
character Of stingy man-his char
acter is all greed. An ancient prov
erb testifeth that, There is honor
among thieves" and men have found
il true
Judas Iscariot was a stingy man,
and a cowardly hypocrite A thief
would have stolen what he needed
only a stingy man would have sold
Christ.
Because he feareth the law, the
stingy man is not a thief When he
hath a little honor, the thief is not
a stingy man.

Mr.. AND MRS. OSBORNE LEAVE


A very delightful farewell was
given Tuesday night to Mr.. and Mrs.
Osborne by Miss Bowersox and Miss
Welsh at the Boone Tavern. Twenty
six friends sat down to dinner with
our faithful Treasurer and his wife,
who left Wednesday for California
for a three months leave of absence.
Mr.. OsbIrrs has been associated
with Berea College for nearly thirty
five years, and has taken but very
little time off during all these years.
Levity and good will characterized
the dinner. All wished these good
friends God speed during the entire
journey.

Body of Soldier Buried.

The body of Joseph n. Murray,
who lost his life on Flanders field,
was brought here for interment last
Saturday morning. He was not a
native of Barnwell county, and was
somewhat of a stranger here, but
had worked for Charley Mathis in
South Carolina, Colorado and Cali
fornia. He was working here for
Mr.. Mathis and boarding at George
Chitty's when he entered into the
service. Mr.. Chitty and his wife
thought a great deal of the young
man, who had no relatives, so he
was buried in their family square in
the Blackville cemetery. Owing to
lack of information concerning the
shipment of the body and the hour
fixed for burial, there were not many
at the burial, and he - lot receive
the visible tributes ;spect gen.
orally accorded heroes of the world
war who are sent home for inter-
ment.

BLACKVlLLE BUREAU
Death of j. w. Book.

Blackville, January 31.-Friends
and relatives of Joseph William Book
of Aiken will regret to learn OF his
death, which occurred at his home
there Monday afternoon, after a
short illness, having contracted Sc
we're cold last Friday, from which
pneumonia developed, resulting in
his death. Mr.. Book was the only
son of Mrs. Ella Rush Book, who was
originally from Barnwell county, but
who has been living in Aiken with
her son for many years. His father
was the late Joseph William Book,
a jeweler and prominent citizen of
Charleston for many years. The de-
ceased was 55 years old and leaves
a widow and one son, Karl, who died
several years ago while at college.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow at Aiken, and the body will
be brought here for interment.

The Herald would like to call at
tention to the advertisement of the
county supervisor in this issue OF The
Herald regarding the practice OF
dragging plows in the roads. The
practice is so widespread and gen.
eral that the grand jury at its recent
sitting recommended some strong ac-
tion to abate the nuisance. The coun-
ty is now engaged in spending enor-
NOUS amounts of money to give the
people of the county system OF good
roads, and the planters should re-
gard the efforts of the authorities to
the extent certainly of cooperating
to preserve the work. 1t is aDso-
Iutely useless to build road if the
pIow hands are allowed to turn their
plows in the roadway, which not
only drags sand into the road. but
produce a surface most uncomfort-
able to travel over. The recommen-
dation that the landowners arrange
to cultivate two or three rows OF
crops parallel with the road is a most
excellent one. This would allow the
plow hands to turn their plows at
the >end of the rows without having
to go into the road.

Hold-up Intercepted.

What might have been intended
for a sure-enough hold-up, or a hoax
to get cash, was interrupted here
Saturday night. When Sam Izlar
Buist, who clerks for Simon Brown s
Sons, was returning home he was
accosted by stranger on dark part
of a street who asked him for five
dollars. Mr.. Buist said: Il haven't
five dollars; the sight of that much
would make me fall dead The
stranger then said: well, go back
up town and get me some," which
remark inspired Mr.. Buist, who was
fortunately armed, to reach quickly
for his pistol, which caused the
stranger to burn the wind The
policemen were at once potified and
all precautions were taken, but no
suspicious characters were found lott
ering around.

The commissioners of public
works are receiving many congratu-
lations upon the success they have
attained in securing water supply
for Bamberg. The commissioners
have been troubled no little for some
months past on account of the made
ouate water supply here. The new
well bids fair to supply: the town
plentifully for many years to come,
and the well is SO arranged that in
the event the present flow diminish
es to any great extent, the well can
be deepened without removing the
piping, and thus tap new source at
q greater depth.

Very Probably True.

All this talk one hears coming out
of Columbia about new sources of
revenue to relieve the taxation on
property is a smoke screen intended
to deceive the unwary. The purpose
behind the movement is to collect
more money so that the departments
and institutions of the state may
have more to spend.-Fort Mill
