Last Friday the senate and house met in joint sesion to bold Memoial Exercises of .he dkceased membcis of the house Hon. E. B. Ragshale of Fairfield, Hon J. G. Redfearu of Chester field, and Dr. J. G. Ri'-hords of Kershaw: The forma' resolutionis were intioduced by Hon. W. J. Johnson, Mr. Ragsde's succe~ss or. The following clippings from the Strfte will be read with interest in this county which Mr. Ragdale so well represented and in which he was so much beloved. Mr Johuson was a colle2gue of Mr. Rgsdale for tvo years, and as a colleague he spoke of his deceased friend. He deoscribed the manly virtues of Mr, ltagsdale who was a positive character, a lawyer of scholarly attainments who had achieved much success, a man of great courage. Mr. Ragsdale had by an almost unan inous vote of his people been sent -to. the general assembly. Even with the fatal diseaze caus ing him suffering he labored dili gently, earnebtly and ably. Mr. Prince of Anderson paid a gloDug tribute to Mr. Ragsdale's tbility as a lawyer. le then spoke of him as a courageous, manly man, a fair fighter in de bate and a scrupulously houest and exceedingly valuable legis lator. Speaker Stevenson took oc casion to pay a tribute to the memory of each of his departed friends. He spoke 'with much feeling of the manliness and characteristic tone of Mr. SRagsdale's lette of reCi th'the 'ps of their fingers. Th-y lo not like to get their shoulders nder the wheel, and they prefer to give orders to others or fi.;urai as masters and Jet sone one els3 to do the drudg eary. There is no doubt that ndoleuce and lazinaiss are the chief-obstales to success. When we se a boy who has just secured a position take hold of everything with both hands and "jump right into his work," as if he meant to succee1, we have confidence that he will prosp. 'But if h. stands around and asks questions when told to do any Stinf r if h 'ils You that this or that belongs to. some oter boy to do, for it i-s not his work; if ho does not try to carry out~ his orders in the'carrect way; if he~ wants a thiousand exp)1uv'tionS when asked to runi au mrand and makes his employer think that he could have done~ the whole thing himself, one feelis like discharging such a bov ou the spot, for he is1 conviced& that he was =t cut out for success. That boy wil be cursed with'mdoci.y or willI be a failure. Tlhere iS n10 1)lace in this ceutary for the lazy man. He~ will be pushed~ to thie wall. Suce5ss. Danger of Commercialsmh. One of the greatest dangers that threaten Amecriani institultionl todayr, is comrjercialismf. Our strenuous5 life, withi itSln-m and driving to get rich, t& u !s t o foster theC sl:et of guee and trgt hunger; and this spiot, in tu~rn)..tends to develo1 our ma teii and coarser faculties. NIaterialismO is written all over Aimerican life to~day. In the ans ious pursuit of dollas, mainy feel that they ca:nt ..ffota time to develop their social side. A foreig'ner visiting .Ameica for the first timie, withotut knowleage of th business methodis of its people would get an. idea th'at .n'arly Severy business miaun i he country Shad lost a pa:ri and, oblivi .us everything else, was desperately yearching for ir. TIhe fairest, the most beautiful possibilites~ of our eig'mlation are too often trampled uier fo' t in th-a mad ralui fo inm -.y, as if wealth were th.e only goxi; famne, or not'ority, the great deswd-ratuta an1 politi.

The city and exposition police autho:ities of Charleston are en deavoring to recover a valual-le necklace which was stolen from the woman's building several dajrg, ago. The necklace is in charge of the New York express office, where it is held subject to call. The party to whom it is addressed has evidently scented trouble and he is fighting shy of the office, fearing arrre.t. The company re fuses to delier the necklace to the policeh ithorities. The ne& ace is an old family heir-loobn, being more than 200 years old. I1s_ New York authori-es have been conmunicated wtl, and a ,lose vigilance is being kept on the express office for the man who calls for the stolen package.
