You can always borrow trouble without collateral but it is a cinch that you will have to pay compound interest at usurious rates. !f you desire to save a man, > ou must look for the best in him not the worst. And you must let him know it. To tell a person he is a child of the devil, or act as though you so considered bim, is not the way to induce him to become a child ot God. . j i , WITH THE POETS \ Did you ever watch the sunbeams At play among1 the flowers? Or ever see the little stars A-shining after showers? I think the little children Were made for shining too, To make this old world brighter, Don't you?

Or ever catch the miller Just when the corn was grinding? I think the little children Were made for working, too, To be the big folks' helpers, Don't you? Did you ever find your pussy Upon the hearth rug sleeping? Did you ever watch the chickens When darkness comes a-creeping?

Twice in the last dozen years Mr Page visited Columbia, his second visit having been made in the spring of 1021 when he delivered two or three addresses. Many of our people, who cnitie into brief association with him, will remember him as the kind of man to write "Red Rock" and "Two'Little Confederates" and they have an affection for him that no other distinguished visitor of a few days could have in spired. With the people of Richmond and of Virginia and of the country they sorrow at the death of the most loyable and brilliant gentlemen who served so faithfully and to so great a purpose. * Padrick Fouod Guilty Below is press dispatch telling the world that another criminal lias been dealt with.

During the progress of the railroad strike in Tennessee, Charles Lamer, a shopman, was killed and three men were arrested on charge of the murder. The case was taken up five weeks ago and the lawyers have succeeded in consuming all that time in selection of a jury. It was only : yesterday that the twelfth man was accepted.

The minister was arrested Sunday night, October 1st, for having in his possession a quart of corn whiskey, which was carried in the same bag with two Bibles. This arrest took place after a prohibition sermon?Next!?Tugaloo Tribune. Against that minister, by the way, who was a simple mountaineer, we can point to thousands of ?Jod fearing, booze hating clergymen who practice daily in their lives thelessons that they teach. This parade of the weakwilled unfortunate teacher who fell does not lessen the fact that drink is a raw curse of the laud, and the holding up to ridicule of the poor weakling who tripped by the wayside cannot and does not gild or garnish the booze bottle, the booze maker or the bootlegger. Rather, in our opin ion, such exposition only serves with a smarting sting to show the cruel fangs of the snake. The mountaineer Baptist preacher caught with "moonshine" in his Bible sack is no sample of the great army of Christian gentlemen who are fighting the liquor curse for the salvation of men's souls. Why search the bin for the specked apple? Mrs. Brown s Joke "1 could have laughed outright," said Mrs. Brown, "when we were, going round Barnum and Bailey's menagerie on Fri[day."

So count- * less are our blessings that one has only to set his mind reflecting and his heart will at once leap into praise. Nor was it a bungling hand that built the word "contemplation" (con-plustemplum). He who begins to meditate upon the goodness ot God is ushered forthwith into a great temple where worship becomes an instinct and a delight. ?John Balcom Shaw. Ad Evening Thought Certainly in our own little sphere it is not th.e most active (fcupiu IU WllOIIl Wl! UW*S most.

Power In Weakness It is otten the strong man that falls before the power of eyil. If Samson had been a weaker man he might have been a safer man. He would have been less selfconfident, more vigilant and cautious. But he believed himself equal to any emergency. It is sometimes the voung man of brilliant talents, superior advantages, and splendid fortune who goes down in time of temptation. Let not the strong uvaa glory in his strength. Trust in the Lord.
