MEN OF MARK FOR MEETING CONFERENCE FOR COMMON GOOD None of the Addresses on the Program Will be I?ong?S|>ecial Railroad Kates Granted. Columbia State. The program of the Conference for the Common Good, which will be held in Columbia August 6 and 7, is practically complete. The committee has not yet had time to hear from two or three noted speakers irom a distance wno nave Deen invited to particapate, but early next i week it Is hoped that the final revission can be made and announced 1 through the press of the state. J Tuesday there was issued by W. K. Tate, president, the following I statement: c "The program will consist of topics suggested by leading men and I women of the state as among those of most vital interest to the public 1 welfare. The committee has decided i not to have any long addresses, but has divided a few topics into many c subdivisions which will be presented by the speakers in five or ten min- , utes each and will then be opened to J general discussion. In this way it is hoped that the meeting may be a real conference and not a mere aggregation of papers. PURPOSE OF CONFERENCE. "The Conference for the Common uooo nas ior lis purpose me aiscuselon of matters which are of vital importance. It is the abiding belief of the movers in this conference that the people of South Cnrolina may be united in a common movement for , the realization of a common purpose. When once we begin to talk nbout ^ the things that are significant we can f forget the insigniflcnnt things which , bripg discord. The discussion will | centre always on principles and will i ( endeavor to find a way to remedy ., evils rather than merely to point IJ them out. The movement is nhso- It lutely non-political. The committee f sincerely hopes that all candidates i j for public office may find in is pro- ( gram of action something worthy of ; commendation and discussion, it la I, hoped that the general conference will merely be the preliminary to ] county and local meetings which will , be held in the late summer or in con- 1 nection with the county fairs in the fall. The committee will not sug- | gest a method of county and local | organization, hut will leave these , matters to public spirited men and J women who are acquainted with lo/.a! veil 11 rru h.

This Is the answer L that took the prize: "To be a lady, rightly, means to be 1 a gentlewoman who shows by her v every word and action a sweet and tl gentle dignity, with a gracious charm 1 _ of manner, a woman whose heart Is 1 ~ pure and true, who is tender toward ! all suffering, who sympathizes with | those In trouble and Is ever ready d to give that which costs her some K efTort and self-denial. A lady thinks jh no work derogatory, and no one Is J a deemed too low to recelvo courtesy J a and kindness. She is pure and good I in every detail of life, a true friend, |a and a 'ministering angel' In sorrow ' o and In sickness." 'a HE LANCASTER NEWS, J so The Hired Mini's Story. " On [red Man in National Stockman. I am going to relate my personal J perlence as a hired boy on a farm. .r it that any reader will know me, or J* re particularly for my fortunes, *u it simply for the plain moral the le will carry. One reason will be ^ _ own, no doubt, why boys and lut iung men leave the farm. ex* I was myself born and brought up me i a farm. At the age of 15 years I icided that 1 wanted to earn some In oney and my father consented to i*ui e plan. I hired to a farmer In the f?r me township, whom we will call ark. Clark had a dairy of over 30 ?pf wr, and I worked about 16 hours of day, getting up at 4 to 4:30 in the ag? orning. when I would drive the me ws from the pasture and milk till len eakfast time. In the evening the ilking and chores were scarcely Th me before 8 o'clock. As I worked throughout every day but inday without intermission, except <*oi r my meals. 1 did a great deal of wli >eing of corn and potatoes. I was chi lowed so little time for my meals on! at I always remembered one day al>l hen I was taway from my work oni ree-quarters of an hour for my th( nner. including time of going and rai iming. Clark had a son 21 years Th d who drove the team of horses, dir e would drive to the factory with ? m 111. ...Ul-U * ' * ?' it- Hum, wmni ninsumcn mree- ?>r urths of the forenoon, in which ho no as merely riding on a comfortable lie agon seat. When young Clark and would go out to build board fences ' be invariably swung a heavy iron Cr aul, while Clark held the fence- "S >st steady with one hand or two. a My employer seemed in good "b ;alth, but he did not work much. Dc very day he would come to the field otl here I was hoeing and work ahout tai l hour and a half. Then he would > to the house tired out. He seem- jia 1 in a desperate hurry while at uv ork, as he designed to serve as a \ce-maker for the boy working 16 ^ic aurs a day. He would get ahead of e in his row, then he would look ^ irk at me and sneer. Conveniently rerlooking the 16-hour phase of the ise, he assumed that a young man lould be able easily to keep up with 'a! i old one. The table in the Clark home was ca at a very* generous one. The truth ? as. with the work T performed, and cv * I should have been growing fast t my age. 1 did not get enough to it. The fare consisted almost en r?-iy 01 nreao and mmcr, potatoes, uv> ?ps or meat in limited allowance. y? pple-sauce and coffee There was othinp In abundance, except per- St aps water. Any privilepes T had hout the house, like poinp to the tr< r?llar for an apple, etc.. were ripid- *b ' restricted.

TTo ad provided a hupe timber, a block r seasoned oak. almost as hard as on. This was in the barn, and he roupht me a larpe hand auper and ammanded me> to hore into the mber. Ostensibly he purposed to ave a hop trouph fashioned hv borip away much of the hard oak.
