I am so glad that they reKfm.in the same and 1 have a few words If to say to the young people: Wl v>'i!l .av again as I have said beHf.nre, there is only one thing to make fji man out of and that's a hoy. I Shave been over a jvirt of twelve stales, l.'feen many faces of the many millions j>f people in America and elsewhere. Iil'liere is only one t!i>i p: at large th:?t MXOl'ybody wants and that is -aJ.>>,"action. The man gets drunk ror the ivay he enjoys t; t ie gambler goes \o his eternal home often with lis misspent life in ;in. Oftentimes the: '<eeds of gambling are sown in the home, beginning with the playing of J 'ox and goose and common c'nr-cker- j hoard, and from that t'? Uool: and Setback, and the i.hirst becomes moie! Und greater; and later on poker, and Ikvinds up r. any limes in the death pells of our prisons. 1 saw a judge ^sentence a nice looking young man. No doubt he was the idol of his mother's heart, the darling boy of her Mreams, and a'so the father; and was ^10 doubt the choice young man of his .. omnt unity and was the husband of '? well educated and very pretty young lady. With .all his education and his Refinement he was to be a state convict for ten long years. The judge I old him to stand up and receive m> outonce?it was a sad hour to many f his friends present. All that father nd mother ha<l done to make a genlemnn of him was, so to speak, a omplete failure in life ? they had nly raised a convict who brought ray hairs and dishonor to his loved ties and hastened the steps of his arents to the grave. One can so usily step from freedom to life's imrisonment or into some stain that ill never come ofT our life or the ves of our otfspring. The strong rm of our states may forgive us nd send us back home pardoned; our arents and loved ones may embrace l " K .1 i.rt nlfi^o in jus, gnu we iiiu.v iiuvc mt j.?. ... llic family circle, but we can never stand any more with the world; our place in society will ever he vacant, put God \\viU never hold rude things Against us if we will only consecrate aur lives to Him and live for Him. Often 1 see young hoys and men with u pi: t ?i in one pocket and some hay rum in the other, and pads of ca'*ds Ulong with some cigarettes and hiatchos, and some man's daughter b;> his side in a litll" Fovrl, his little cap on the sido of his head. The littie gp*l sure'y n.u.t get courted he-1 fore he takes her home; and should i I he consent for a marriage, what kind j f a husb.and or father do you tlr'nk ' e won hi make? He looks and acts I s though the world needed a boss! rid he was the only one who could 1! the place since Alexander Llie rvent died. ^ I so often thin k of a young man saw in a barber shop in VViiming- | 3n sometime ago. There were sevrat young men in Hie shop at the me. cursing and pulling down morally in every form. As the barber traightened him up in the chair lie ejrnn to talk and give a bit of b;si n'periennc. lie said lie was raised i the state of Kentucky on a farm, [is father sent him to r.'hool and oiii there Iff college; and his fut.lv v. 'hose hands were rough and full of Ishie'd 1'rom liai'i! aoor. jv.:a mis wh\ jthrourh nil, and ho had been e;"adu ate ! with honors :rd o;n ip h'.ck to the old ho 10. Mis fij'.hor . -lid <<> him, "Go on *ho farm and select you a one-ho> se farm anywhere you liko; fco to t'.io .table ;.?"i select any inulo you want"; ho did. o and he went to work, ploui'/hod :i I'ovv days and said. "The very i1 -a of :i college y;r.v'uato plowrhinjr a mule on a one-horse farm in Kentucky!" No doubt the old we!! [with old swcop and bucket looked too small for him to stay there. He s.aid he thought that the world needed a master, so lie staried out, left the old 'home; left his mother's old safe and her hi.fr, warm featherbed, where he had often come home any hour of the nif'ht and found soivoihi;;;.? to oat, aad ?<it v.*a; all seasone.i with welcome. It's the reiriet in my life that 1 ever Kdid "o. Oh that 1 could retrace my !(steps hack to boyhood apam! j Younfc man, there is a place for I you to fill in this lifo that no "one I else ry.n fill for you.

He was an ol<! colored man named R'.'ck^ton, I asked him how lonp he had been pulling that m'ioH I;?rs f! Iv; ;^n wev v.yis, ".About C~} years." The back-' of his eyes had b'ue rinj*around them from :v?re. He neve;' made a curve without sou no'in;/ hi whistle a note of warning. I'e never stuck the bow of the boat in the mud. He ijever wrung a wheel ofT. I said to him, "You know where all the snags arid logs are, don't you?" And he said, "No sir, I do not; hut I do know where there is not any. Young man, you had better always steer your boat, in the center of tiie channel. You will never make :i iristake by giving God your heart, tilling your place in Sunday School and in prayer meeting and in such places. A judge once said in court tlu-.t he had never sentenced a boy to imprisonment that had lieen reared, in SuncViy School and under good re'igious influence. The young men and young women of today seem to think that it's* too small a piace to go to Sunday School and prayer meeting, hut it grows to be i great tree in this life and in the life to come, so that by doing our full duty to God and church it grows to ire an everblooming (lower in our life rhe jear around. A little wrong grows to be a large tree, fruitless and full of tearr. and bitter thorns oL' regret. One night in our town, just a lad of a boy had an old pistol in '.is pocket.. Although he nor no one else had any use .or it (tor it hacf only ono ball in it) he was in a very highly esteemed merchant's store and he and the boy were looking at the pistol, and it accidentally fired, killing the nice young merchant, leaving his store of goods ,'jnd a pretty young wife and ('our beautiful little girl children. It only took one ball to make four orphan girls and a heart-broken wife. The goods were soon scattered, ihe home wrecked, the little girls given i.way among their people. The mother soon married again, but these little ?nes missed the love and kisses of kind and affectionate father .and mo'her, just from the effects of one pistol bail. As you go to the chain gang and state prison you can see he effect of the one pistol ball. Some times the half ounce pistol ball can ning ton after ton of sorrow. Dear Reader, do you remember what one 5-cent piece of money cost Horry county one time? Some years ago a Ika got fx vial of some kind of liquid that would change the color of money and make a 5-cent piece look like a 3f> go'dpiece, so he changed the color of the 5-cent piece. Me went to court ?.nd it was raining, and went in a store before a crowd of men and : bought an umbrella with his painted nickel and- passed it as a .>;? gompiece,; got his change and went out. For that 5-cent piece his father had to mortgage the old home, and 1 was told that his mother died of a broken heart. The boy spent several years in state prison. That one 5-cent piece ; caused it all. What it cost the county was quite a large sum, I guess. J A man one day gave a millionaire's! horse an apple and pal od ihe horse on the neck. A few days later the rich man asked this >. an to grant him a favor and the poor man did it, and when he did it he was granted a check for $100,000. A small boy once filled a woodbox with wood, but before filling it lie cleaned it out and straightened it. lie was only a poor j boy chopping wood here and there to help take care of his mother. He ' was asked why he cleaned out the | box and he cal rilv answered, "I saw 1 fhat it needed to be done. The boy ! c'imbed fro.v. a wood chopper to j ciual partner in- th? large mercantile business, where he straightened the '*'oed box. It's not always the amou:/. I I,at we do but the spirit in which we do it. At one of the state banks not Ion;; since the lock to the vmlt. got caught and neither the cashier j nor any one of his helpers could < lock it. The rovernor said, "Looks [ ike w? will have to blew it open." ' The superintendent the state prison came lip and -aid. "i have a r vict that can open trie vau't." The men se? e<l ;oi r\ir > surprised, aid so ex pi essed Ikr" e'ves. but they Vd "If you have. p!.. :\-yo ser.d him lit re end !eJ, him onen it." The . i . mi-, tindent '.'.eve him a note to take to the cashier. ;\s he \vas a trust", and he walked into the tank with hi ' under hi.-; arm. gave the note to t^e cashier "nd he said, "Are you t!ie one that c".n open the safe?" Me I said "Yes sir, I made those locks for j fourteen vrars." So he was invi e.l around and opened it in about five [ > linutes. He said those locks wee 1 11 ' ' 1 i i 1 . 1 ! i| ail made ai;ue wiui a nnr comhip.a!ion.

As lie walked away the governor looked at him with pity and granted him a pardon. 1 believe that the prayer of some loved one had readied and unlocked the throne of grace in his. !)e half just ,'is he reached and unlocked the vault. That was the way that God had to set him free. So many times little deeds, work to be great things in days to come.

V g THE HORRY HERALD, CONWi i girls. You are one anions the greatest things that God ever made. Can scatter more sunshine in the life of sinful men than any one else. You ran reach a hard-hearted sinner that a man could never reach. Lift up your heads and look at the rosebuds you can help to bloom in so many lives and how much sunshine you can scatter when the young man offers to take you to the theatre or the dance hall, or show of any kind. You kindly saw "I thank you, but I want my life filled with something richer and more noble than that." You may go with him to those places and rkV with him late hours at nifrht. but when he gets ready for a wife he seldom ever goes to get you. He will call you his old sport. So later on you will have to try to catch an old widower and start life with a ready started home and familv. I have often seen girls stick out their lips* <ii twinr on/I tnrlotT fliof I v* v O MIIVI l*nw?? vvnu^* VIIUV some of them today are cooks and maids in the same boy's home, for his wife to sit lip in comfort a u! ease.

If they only had some one to scatter a little sunshine for them they would make such lovely men and women.

Have you noticed in the dif ferent prisons and asylur.of today that most of the inmates of them are young people? The irroat e;rj.se ef this is that parents are not doing their duty by their children. The children use to obey their parents; if they failed they were punished ur1i) they did obey. Fo'ks use to begin f.irrying their children to church i'1 infancy and right on all the;r lif?. But it is not so now, for it takes two I or three people to nurse a one-year I <>ld baby. The mother can't stay in the church unless the child wants to stay. The average mother can't t.ake dm lUllo fV?vr?o-vr>?r old hov to the I barber shop for a haircut.

Went to white man's home, killed all of them and the last one to be killed was an infant baby sitting on the floor. He said, "As 1 threw it up to fall on a sharp pointed knife in my hand to kill it. as it passed his face it looked into his eyes and smiled sweetly." He said he could shut his eyes and see baby's smile yet. There are so many people today that are doing things that when they become old they will shut their eyes and say, too, "I wish I hadn't done that/' We can never undo the things that are past. Wc often smile with our lips and an aching heart in our breast, unless we do the right. There are but three things that will make us lau^h. something we see or hear or feel.A chrir nan from all three ot these and a sinner from only what he sees and hears.

CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed?Read Her Own Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall, of near here, recently related the following interesting account of lier recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was sick tlirco years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay ancl my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't oat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would# have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I beram to eat and siren, lio^n to gain my strength and am now well unci strong. I haven't had arvy trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there irf a bettor tonia made arid I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If you suffer aa these women did, tuko Cardui. ;i may help you, too. At all druggists.
