Columbia Afternoon Record. Possess thy soul with patience, brother, and do thyself no harm. Rome was not built in a day, neither are rails roads constructed in a week. In the meantime we opine that the electric railway people are giving themselves no concern whatever about what our perplexed neighbor across the Con garee may or may Dot addle its brain over. After years of patient waiting a Charleston jary has at last been found who are unwilling to peijare themselves by bringing in a verdict acquitting men charged with violating the dispensary law at variance with the evidence adduced. In the city court on the foh ten blind tigers were convicted. A special term of the court of sessions for Newberry county was convened on the Gtb, inst, with Mr. G. DaDcan Bellinger as special Jndge. This co~- was convened for the special parpose of trying George Strother, a big black repulsive looking young Degro buck who is charged with having committed rape upon the person of a white woi ai sometime last March. \ Congressman Lever has announc J 4.1 ..U tHi US tuc I C^Ulb U1 tliC X CWCUV I.UU1__ patitive examination that Mr. Lawton Hydrick, of Orangeburg, wins the Annopoli8 cadetship with John T.

The way is now clear for the Seaboard Air Line people to build their own passenger depot without being forced to enter the TJoion shed in Columbia, and preparations are now being made for the erection of the necessary buildings. They will be located at the corner of Gervais and Lincoln streets. The holding of the Southern's Charleston train the other day beyond the time it was scheduled to leave Columbia so that President Spencer's ton might catch it, was a Diece of inconvenience to the travel w ing public that cannot nor 8honld sot be easily overlooked. President Roosevelt evidently believes that "in the time of peace we should prepare for war," and wants Congress to increase the strength of our navy by providing for the construction of many more war vessels, and in this he is eminently correct. Columbia has made a successful bid for the aor ual meeting of the Confederate Veterans. The re-union is to take place in May.

Any sensible young man ought to know that he can't be up late nights abusing his stomach and be in full possession of his faculties for business the next day, and lie ought to know also that a man must be clear headed and in full possession of his faculties to hold his own in the keen competition of life. Your "good fellow" is popular for the time being, but when his money is gone and he has lost his job and is on his uppers the "good fellow" business doesn't get him anything. It's "poor fellow" then?another good man { gone wrong, and "the boys" are ready to hail another "good fellow" who has the price. We don't mean by this to say that ~ AwnAn o TUATT /Inn't 1 lilt; uuj? a mc mciv.cuuik> . iuvj v?wii ?. altogether pass up a "good fellow" when he goes broke, but it isn't the same. They say he hit the booze too hard and couldn't stand the pace. They feel sorry for him, but he is out of it. His good fellowship doesn't excuse him even in the eyes of his friends for having thrown away his opportunity. The young man who gets the sleep his system needs, is temperate in his habits, lives within his means and shows up for work in the morning with a clear eye and active brain?that's the man business men are looking for. They want employees whom they can trust. Having worked hard and laid by a competence, they want to throw some of the burdens off, and they won't throw them off on the employee who is too much of a "good fellow." Cut it out. boys. There's nothing in it. There's a whole lot of nonsense in that "good fellow" business. You can't fool the public very long by living beyond your means and keeping up appearances. There must be a showdown some time or other, and that means a loss of self respect and ml*iy bitter experiences. Many a bright and promising business man has failed because he tried to travel in too swift a class, whereas had he lived within his means he might have become a highly successful merchant. The world doesn't give up its treasures easily. It isn't in the cards for all of us to be millionaires, and mighty few of the "good fellows" get into that class. It's better to earn your way first and go hunting for good times when 3*ou have reached the point where you can spare both the time and the money. Then possibly you'll have more sense and have a different notion about what a good time is.?Toledo Bee. An Enemy of Pansies. There is one enemy for which the pansy lover must watch like a lynx, and that is a little green worm that seems made on purpose to devour pansies. Where he comes from or why he should exist at all is a mystery. But if you find your little plants stop growing and see the leaves perforated with small he' .s and your blossoms gnawed behold, your enemy is there. Eternal vigilance alone will save you. Your face must be brought to the surface of the ground. Kneel and turn up every leaf. Doubtless you will find the small green monster curled up and hiding, sucking out all the juices of the plant and so becoming exactly its color, which makes him so difficult to find, and if not checked he will utterly destroy it He will devour it in a few days. The Boy. A boy is ail odd piece of furniture, but be is the ground and chief ingredient of the man. Delude not yourself with the belief that the boy is not all he pretends to be, for he is a great deal more. He is an incomprehensible fellow to any one but another boy, and because he will presently grow into the awkward between hay and grass period that separates boyhood from manhood, and to a lumbering idiot then, don't signify that he is an idiot now. He never is. But his chrysalis state fetters him and makes him seem like one sometimes. The boy is all right He Succeeded. A man arrested for murder bribed an Irishman on the jury with ?200 to hang out for a verdict of manslaughter. The jury were out a long time and finally came in with a verdict of manslaughter. The man rushed up to the Irish juror and said: "I'm obliged to you, my friend. Did you have a hard time?" "Yes," said the Irishman; "an awful time. The other eleven wanted to acquit yer."?London Answers. The Last Dueling: Clergymen. "When did clergymen cease to fight duels?" is a startling inquiry in Notes and Queries.

A Stealthy, Insidious, Weak Suffer There are a multitude of women, csj pecially housewives, and all other women obliged to be on their feet con- rstantly, who are wretched beyond description, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal discharges from the pelvic organs. These women get up in the morning tired, drag themselves through their daily duties tired, only to go to bed at night as tired as before. _3Irs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th Street, 3S". Y. City, N. Y., writes:?"I suttered for three years with what is generally known as leucorrhea, in connection with ulceration ofj the womb. The doctors advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly* objected to go under it. Reading of the! value of Peruna, I thought it best to give ' this well-known remedy a trial, so I bought 1 three bottles of it at once. Now I am a changed woman.
