"I PUBLISHED WEEKLY. WNNSBORO, S. C., WEDESAY JANUAR 5[0.ESALHD184 The MIII Boy's Opportunity. Perhaps after recent discus sions in the columns of the Advocate my readers are surpris ed to see an articid headed "The Mill Boy's Opportunities." We have been led to believe that he has none, and in most cases we have succeeded in getting him to think so himself. This is not only a gross injustice to the young man at the mill, but also to the Church and the State, in whose affairs he is fast becoming a potent force for weal or woe. Going as I did from a mortgag ed farm to college when cotton brought from three and a half to five cents per pound, I know from bitter experience the strug gles of a country boy for an education. Having seen enough of the average town boy to know that he must spend the greater part of his earnings for board and appearances, I can appreciate his disadvantages. Having stud ied and associated with the mill boy I think I am qualified to say something also in regard to his educational chances, taking for granted, of course, that they depend on his wealth-producing power. The farm boy returns frnin college only a few we.ks before the crop is "laid by," and at a time it would be dangerous for him to enter fully into the farm work. The poor town boy gets home on vacation just after the other fellow has procured the soda fount job that he was hoping to realize ten dollars per month at, provided he had no board to pay. But the mill boy may leave college any day he pleases and find profitable employment in the mill the next. He doesn't have to wait until some fellow goes off on vacation and lets him "hold down" his job until he returns. Nor is he put to the terrible ordeal of rambling all over the countrs when he ought to be at home with his parents, trying to sell books, maps, pictures, patent egg-beaters dud other things. (all praises to those who have done such) bhut straigb4 into the mill he and there is a- job await i 'm-a job that will pay him more har cash in one vacation than the average boy outside the mill will make in two. The average wages of an energetic young man at the mills cannot fall below one dollar per day-twenty-six dollars per month. Board costs him ,ten dol lars; other necessities four. It is clear, then, that he can easily uave twelve dollars per month. * T welve dollars per month for one year is a hundred and forty-four dollars. If he is ambitions he soon rises to the position of section boes, or loom-fixer, which seldom pays less than thirty-five dollars per month. His expenses remain the same, and it is clear that he daa save twenty dollars per month. I the course of another year thmre are two hundred and forty dollars to be added to the last year's savings. Three hun dred and eighty-four dollars represents his savings for two years, during which time het has been studying at night and on Saturday afternoon-as many do, and- he is now prepared to go to college. Three hundred and eighty four doilars will pay all expenses except tuition, for two years. The tuition is paid during the in tervening vacation. Another year's work as loom-fixer and the earn ings of two vacations will put him through college with a small debt of say seventy-five dollars, which can be paid in four months after graduation. He is now an educated man in more respects thaa one. It took him only seven wears from the time he bega~n to prepare himself, and he paid as he went. Whereas the average fellow for several years after graduation struggles hard with debts that are gradually growing bigger. The bulk of the wealth of the~ mill community is produced by young men. Thus it is clear that they hold the key to the solution of what we persist in calling the "mill problem." "Why is it' you say "that we have so few mill boys in our college?" The trouble is they do not see the fruit hang ing.lascious, ripe aud wasting over their heads. They do not anow how to grasp the oppor turnity. Will the Chu.rch enable the young men of the mills to turn their wealth-producing power in upon themselves as a retiuing force, or will she let this wonder ful cataract of power go un halrnessd an.d uuused? --The R-v. D. English Camak, ia Advertisements. These queer advertisements were collected by a number of club 1 women who found some strange I things outside cf their club rooms. i Here are some samples: "Bull dog for sale; will eat ] anything: very :'ond of children." "Wanted-A boy to be partly outside and partly behind thu 1 counter." "Widow in comfortable circum- < stances wishes to marry two sons." "Annual sale now on; don't go elsewhere to be cheated; come in here." "A lady wants to sell her piano, as she is going t,broad in a strong iron frame." "Wanted-By a respectable ] girl, her passage to New York; ! willing to take care of childreu and a good sailor." "Lost-Near Highgate arch-'l way, an umbrella belonging to a f gentleman with a bent rib and a i bone handle." "Mr. Brown, further, begs toO announce that he will make up gowns, capes, etc., for ladies .out , of their own skins." "An airy bedroom for a ge itle man 22 feet long and 11 wide." -The Puritan. The Secret of Success. Forty million bottles of August Flower sold in the United States alone since its introduction! And the demand for it is still growing. Isn't that a fine showing of suc cess? Don't it prove that A'ugust Flower has had unfailing success in the cure of indigestion and dyspepsia-the two greatest ene mies of health and happiness? I Does it not afford the best evi dence that August Flower is a sure specific for all stomach and t intestinal disorders?-that it has proved itself the best of all liver regulators? August Flower has a matchless record of over thirty- f five years in curing the ailing millions of these distressing com- t plaintg-a success that is be- t coking wider in 'its.-scope every day,'at home and abroad, as the i fame of August Flower spreads. 1 Trial bottles, 25c; regular s:ze, e 75c.

A Grim Tragedy1 is daily enacted in thousands of omes, as Death claims in each one another victim of consu mp - tion or pneumonia. But when coughs and colds are properly treated the tragedy is averted. F. G. Huntley, of Oaklandon, Ind., writes: "My wife had the, consumption, and tiaree doctors gave her up. Finally she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which cured her, and today she is well and strong." It kills the germs of all diseases. One dose relieves.
