Where is the man so happy as the one who applies himself to manual labor? Where is the home so happy as the one where each member of the household feels, at the close of the day, that they have performed some at least of the many duties devolving upon them? There ma\ be a clash; some day between capital and! labor. Should this period ever i come, the hope is that labor, with the conquering tread of a hero, will trmpie beneath its heel the' power that has to a considerable ' extent made labor laborious. We are all laborers in our little city. The "big head" is a popular way of expressing a common and very frequent ailment. It arises from various sources but the real foundation is tberlack of sense. A little money develops a .mv ujJir it to others; a little office, where appliance is given to exercise a little authority, is often the cause of it; while others get it having a little better job than their associates. The truth is, no sensible person gets the "big head." The one who become stuck up and stiff necked from sources of any kind, are weak in the intellectual caliber.

Who profited by the carnival beiug in town Inst, week? We can't help but wonder how our fellow townsmen who "run things" can content themselves to allow such a thing to come to our towD. Surely they ca l't see anything good in them. There's nothing about a carnival that is educating or enlightening; there is nothing to be seen at a carnival ?like tbe one that was here last week?that you have not seen before. Did tbe best people of our town go to the grounds, not to speak 11 the shows? Yes, some of them j went, lots of them went but they j did not go the second time, once | was enough. 1 it is useless ior us u> uy iu m| gue to our people tlie necessity of .keeping such thing out of our towo. We have tried before. It is not the desire of the best citi" (zens to have carnivals and the I like come to our town, but we are i indeed sorry to say that Cheraw lis not run by "the people." Cotton Mill The Kershaw Era is urging upon its people to put upacottou ! mill. You are right, it will ho wonders for your towu. It is an opeu secret that Lancaster is to have a new mill and that very soon.?Lancaster News. Cheraw needs, wants and is willing to have a cotton mill but ?well who's going to build it? Not the outside money, that's sure. So long as our business men are afraid of each other and refuse to put any money into new industries there's no "Cheraw Cotton Mill," no "Greater Cheraw. Maybe seme of the "old knots" wilMum nidfi the Silver pages outline and thehChera'w will be a town worth IivL ing in; noTTl!ag~statioiron a rail? road time table, not a small ham let run by a "special set" or a one man sav so. By patronizing home merchants you are rewarded by always having good, enterpri>hig merchants at home. Patronize them and they will benefit .vouju more ways than one; you are rewarded by seeing your pat r< n. age and the i atronage of your influence in building up and maintaining your own town. Patron ize home merchants, home industry and home enterprise, of all kinds in preference to those of any place. Spend your money at home with people \vh ? have interest in your town. By doing this the town is kept up. property is made more valuable, conveniences are enlarged nnd opportunities for financial improvements are opened up. A Storekee " A lady came into my store la " 'I have been using a New Per in my apartment. I want one now mesc Oil Siovca wvuuviiui, comfort they are, they would all have one. I spoke about my stove to a lot of my friends, and they were aston- ' ished. They thought that there was smell and smoke from an oil stove, and that it heated aroom just like any other stove. I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost.'" The lady who said this had thought an oil stove was all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. Now?she knows. Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you ?

Where there are so! many people concorte I and each individual for himself, tin y are; sure to clash and hatred and mal- j ice is often the result. Such being ih.i state of things, we need not look, for progress as there can be none, for only "in union is th re strength." Edwin Mark-j hatn strides the key-note when lie j says; "The crest and crowning of all good, j | Life's finbl star, is tnotlici liood." I So h t us strive always for more of a spirit of fraternity.

"Anyway, a group of young French men waiting in a carriage while theii team was changed saw in me theft long lost original scream, and the way they laughed was convincing. If no| flattering They weren't backward about pointing out the real, racy bits in the picture either, and they only laughed harder when I glared at their mildiy. Another American and I trudged off for lunch, and when we came back tin-re was the bunch ready to take tip tlie howl at me again. I looked at my compatriot and lie at me. I.don't think either of us put the Idea fri words, but we began. "We began to laugh. We fell into each other's arms and laughed. W? held each other up and laughed. Wo laughed till the tears rolled down our cheeks. We laughed till we couldn't stand. We rolled into our conch, still laughing, taking Inspiration for each outburst from a giauce at the Frenchmen. "Well, sir, that hunch of Frenchmen Just wilted. First they closed their mouths; then they lost their grins; then each one began squinting at the other, trying to make out what was wrong. Before we'd been at it two minutes they all discovered they needed a drink and sneaked ofl to the little hotel. We laughed till we saw the last of them, and then we laughed at the way we hud turued the trick."? Chicago Tribune. *** MAKING The Process Is Simple, Though It Puz zIed the Negro. A sailboat in which were a white man and several uegroes had just left the wharf near an Ice factory at the foot of Main street. Annapolis, and was headed out the mouth of Severn river, toward a point on the Chesapeake. "Ye-e-th, thir." an old time colored man was lisping.'

"Ye-e-th, tliir. 1 like to hear 'bout it." "Well, hi the first [dace, they have a tank of ammonia, to which a small amount of heat is applied. It does not take much heat to convert the ammonia into vapor, and even that heat is used up in causing the liquid to expand Into a gas, or become latent, as It Is called, so that the temperature is not materially affected.
