Wednesiay, November 1, - 1899 THE BEADING OF UOOD BOOKS. Dr. James II. Carlisle ha* contributed ihi tollosviu^ artele to tfce Sp*rtan. Late >.iunb'-rs of The Spartan ha7e had articles speeii !y addressed to boya and young men in the city. The Spartan his more reader? ;n Spartanburg county than in Spartanburg city. Time, opportunity, good book?, and character are as valuable and attainable in the country as in the gieat city. Let 0.3 bear what aftim >us preacher, who has liv-d for many \ears in London, Las to say aboot th-i privjleges of country people iu England. Dr. Joseph Parker, wheu speaking ol Paul's visit to tbe liille, out-of the-wuyplace, Berea, s&ye: "It i- qnite possible that there may be more re.ding, of a solid *nd instructive kind, in a little coan:ry town, a We>tern Bert a, thi.u in the immeasurable Bib) ion. Tbe metropolitan, of coarse, feels lhat he is eutitled by some subtle and inexpressible authority t* &nAer at people who live in 'the country.' He has a gift of small sneering. But the Bereans were more noble tSan tbe metropolitans. When men do give ? - 3* ?- . 1_ tne^nscives to reaaiDg m cue wu?uj they htre more time for it; their minds are not dis.racted and vexed by competing claim*. * * * There can be. however, great ignorance, even in Berea. Probably there is haidly a more ignorant Win to be found on the fa^e ot the earth than an agricultural laborer, who is determined not to read. You ougbt to turn your obscurity Into an ally of your education. * * * * Every locality has its ad - T ~ ran [age. 111 me meiruuunb wo friction; continual motion, man sharpening man by daily collision, and in the country we have the opportunity of profound caltivation, because of the time, which is at our disposal. Ltft ii3 not complain of our circumstances, but rule thein, sanctify them and every sphere of life will afford an opportunity for intellectual and spiritnal advancement." Now, coming back to our own country, le< us read the lines, which, it i? ?aiil, Benjamin Franklin had inscribed on his water pitcher: I He weairoy ana great. Roll in solendor and state, I envy them not, I deciare it; ? eat my own Iamb, My own chicken and ham, I shear my own fleece, and I wear it; I have lawns, I bave bowers, I have finits, I have flowers The lark is uiy morning: alarmer; So jolly boys, novY, Here's God-speed to the plow, Long life aad success to the larmer." Tarning now from poetry to prose, what good work bave you % country young people, boys and girls, young men and young women, cut oat for long winter evenings. (Let the word "young" in this sentence be made to include all persons born at any time in the present century.) Golden evenings and hours will pas? in midwinter. Wood is abundant. Before your comfortable fire* you may read talk and tbink with fioe effect. Sometimes a book in each hand may be best. Again one book iu the batd of a good reader (does every family surely furnish one good reader?) will give sometbiig for all the circle 10 enjoy. The book need not always be a new one. An old bock re-read may be re-enjoyed. Fill the mind? and memories of the children with choice extracts of poetry and prose. Le: no really hurtful book or newspaper ever come into tne noase. nnless it is on its way to the fireplace!; Rat see to it that there are some good bjoks, however few, in reach, and see that they are read. Arrange now for tome good reading in the long winter evenings. J. H. C. One of the best things abont this admirable advice is that it can be so easily adopted. Never before in the world have good books been &o cheap. Wc don't refer to ths five cent yellow back detective stories or the "penny dreadfnls" that are leading our yontk to inaninity, but standard works that are admired the world over. Take the catalogue of John Wanaroaker, Philadelphia, or isdontgomery Ward & Co., or A. Fknaghan, Chicago, or any other of the kind, and you will be amazed at the cheapness of good boofcs bound io cloth, in fair type and decent paper. Here for instance as an instance of special cheapness are twenty admirable works, in cloth, all 'for three dollars, most of them classics, with two dollars added for separate postage. Ia case they are ordered in a lot by express the cost vroald be much less than two dollars. Black Beauty, By Pike and Dyke, Dickens' Child's History of England, The Deerslayer, The House of the Wolf, Ivanboe, Kenilworth, Last Days of Pompeii, Last of?the Mohicans, The Pathfinder, Pilgrim's Progress, The Pilot, Riei zi, Scottish Chiefs, The Spy, Tales from Shakep^are, Tom Brown's Schooldays at Rugby, Waverlr, The White Company, With Give in India. These are offered by Montgomery Ward & Co. A party of yonng people either ia town or coantrv, by securing a membership ot twenty at twenty-five cents apiece can purchase twenty books and have a circulating library. tde^e docks are ;meauonea becanse they are generally historical, and afford a pleasant mears of obtain? Id# acquaintance with the past. Black Beauty, a p!ea for kindness to horses, an I Tom Browa at Rogby, while not historical are the noblest specimens ot either kind. No doubt our local dealers v?ould be able to supply these classics books cheap Of course a stii> better copy could be secured at a somewhat higher price. Bat for those who do not care to pay more these will be satisfactory. We hope oar readers will pat I>r. Carlisle's advice iDto practice.

Mr. John Black, shipping clerk ?f ! the dispensary, has added his little ' contriontion to the serial literature ' that is being published about dispen- j sary matters. He admits that be has ' made mistakes; but claims that many ( of these arose from the incompstency I' of his accuser, Mr. Oazts. He does not so mach excuse himself from charges of incompetency as he in torn prefers 1 charges of incompetency, iil manners, , cowardice and dishonesty against Mr. Oazts. According tc him, Ouzfs has J been detected UsteDiag- through key ^ holes, ransacking other men's desks, soliciting order? for certaia brands of liquors, aod refusing to fi^ht when | cursed. All this does net answer th? ^ charge that Mr. Black has mace nam- ( berless eirors, that he has been fre- . qaently .intoxicated, and that he has been retained for political reasons in spite ot bis incompetency. Promises have been made to the public by all , partus ih^t fnll and complete answers '? n: . ' to charges will be maae mtcepuuu; . print?; but >cch answers have r.ot. vet appeared.

The j Boers ar* maintaining their reputa- t tion* as marksmen, and handle artil lery with umeh accuracy, ic is 10 oe hoped tha: with these details in their favor they may be able to welcome e the enemv "with bloody hands to I hospitable graves." t Etkrt day'6 experience of the i masses teackes that th6 old Democratic t doctrines are be?t for the average self- 1 instainiotr man, who wants to take ] advantage of no mm aud have no t man take advantage of him. The protective tariff has built up bloajed fortunes, and special classes. Ii is the 1 foster mother, if not the direct parent ^ of the trust and the monopoly. The 3 doctrine of centralization preached by the Republicans in opposition to the Democratic doctrine of home rule ia ( taking away (he right* of tae people, ( and placing them more and more unc der control of a strong Federal govern- j ment backed by the grasping intere*ts t that subscribe to it and derive gains j from it. The individual is shrinking, j and the government is more ana more, j It is not lealized that tLe transactions of ths dispensavy amount to be- 1 tween $1,500,WO and $2-,000,000 a \ ear. ( No business equals <hat of the ?a!e of ( lienor in offering inducements to fraud. * Yet to marage it the Legislature elects ^ men who are not known out of their own immediate section, and have not ( manifested any special qualification i for transacting busiue^s or stamping j oat frand. A rebate o. :ei per cer.i s would amount to ueariy ?200,000 a year. A rebate of only 2? p-er cent would enable five men each to liquidate , 1 a debt of $10,000- * ye^r. Persons t who were* disgusted Ja-t >ear by the 1 scenes on :he fioor of the House when i the electioi of the new Board of Control occurred, and were conversant with the abundance of "samples" that *' were distributed to member-* daring v the ses*ior., may po^ibiy J - that all i tbis zrta.1 <v&8 not purely paltrai&tie. m m c The. present State administration k appears to have a backbone. Governor 6 Mo^wjponov ha? rprrmvpfl (.ftVPral trial justices who have been sniitv of malfeasance or dereliction in office; and the Attorney General has decided that one man car not hold four offices at once.

Kackboue is a f guvuiuiii^. it rcucruis ujauy cuvia. ^ But the drifting politician or th? driving administration is covered ?ilh ' contempt and coutunaely. T William Lloyd Gakrisjn says k wiii be wor?e than folly tr> attempt u? * enact any laws sgainr-t trusts. Any legislation of that kind will otily en- l cumber the statnte book with irapossi ^ ble laws. The correct thing to do is . ... p (o repeal a lot ot J*ws ar.a let tne people come b?ck to first principles and to j frte indiviuuali?m.
