DR. L. T. HILL.
When oae has reached the hilltc
in the way of life and starts towan
the setting sun, while the shadov
lengthen behind him, he needs lear
if he has not already learned, that i
life nothing is worth while excej
service. He serves only who helj
the cause of truth, righteousnes
justiee and humanity, and the thre
first are included in the last. Pos

not enrich, and only in that feelin
that in a feeble way and in spite c
oUr frailties we may have dor
something to make others better, 1
help them along the way, or that vf
have relieved suffering and brougl
hope to the distressed, may we fin
satisfaction
And there is no profession nc
calling which calls for more consi"
ent service to others, more exactin
and ceaseless service, more of th
hardships of human life, more insigl
into the dark places in the lives c
others, with a correspondingly grea'
er opportunity to help, than being
country doctor. One who takes u
the practice of medicine in a cour
try town, or in a rural sectio*, i
he be a man of human sympathy an
God-fea*i?g life, literally consecrat<
hie life, and in the end lays it dowi
to help others.

Those who did not know him we
may have believed that he was n<

A 5iVi5i6N 6F OPiNteN.
The Spartanburg Journal think
that the judges of the state, an
particularly the judges of the Sx
preme Court, should immediately uj
on his inauguration, inform Goveri
or McLeod just what they will do t<
wards helping him enforce the law
of the state, and that the Governc
should see that the judges do the;
duty in this respect. The Columbi
State thinks that much ills ma
come from the attempt of the Goi
ernor to interfere with the court
and that paper advises the Governc
* J ? 14V
to nave notmrig w uu wnu mc v..
matter.
The Governor, so far as we ha\
read in the columns of the Press ar
Banner, has asked neither of the:
guardians of the public interest f<
advice. There are numbers of men
every community who vrould attem]
to build new homes, or to build i
addition to one side or the other <
the town, or do some other cor
mendable act, if it were not for tl
idlers who always hang around, u
solicited of course, to give advii
Tinw nrrvnosed SChen
could be improved upon, and wl
find mistakes in every move that
made. There are a good many new
papers in Georgia which remind i
of these advisers.
We think perhaps the people i
South Carolina elected Mr. McLei
I They expected him, of course, to
, advice now and then when in d<
sfrom such disinterested advisers
r: Abbeville Press and Banner,
Saluda Standard, The Edgefield
vertiser, and The Easley Progi
but they at the same time expe
him to steer clear of those advi
who think they are wiser than

SoWebody, it does not matter
now who it was, said that in a m

P
Hammond, chief of police, annoi
ed today that every drunken i
who is brought into police headq'
n, ters hereafter will have his pic*
n taken.
^ When the offender has bee
sober again he will be presei

may know just how he looked w

j_ Hammond hopes this "picl
cure" will be a potent weapon
fgainst drunkenness,

The above scheme appeals to

a though, that the scheme can be
