Sometimes we say that our lives
are failures and that we have accomplished
nothing that we set out
to do. Such a spirit, however, is
not worthy of those who have the
strength end ability to take their
places in the ranks of the world's
linrrl fii?htnr? and Qtrivn n noiv for t ha
honora they have missed. It it unite
probable, of course, that we may
been handicapped, and still are. in
our efforts to achieve something reall-1
ly worth while, yet, unless we are totally
unfit either physically or ment-'
ally for the battle which is forever
going on, there is always a < hnnee'
that we may at last turn our past1
failure into bright success. Sometimes,
it is true, we lack the ambi-'
sometimes we feel litat there is'
? nothing to encourage us to fo furtheffort;
sometimese we wonder if the
gome is worth thte candle, yet unless
we are able to rouse ourselves from
the apathy of indifference which at
times settles upon us we shall soon
drift into a miserable stateof existance
far removed from the condi SfinV
. tlon that, could have been ours. Our
sun sets sometime before its rays
have warmed our lives, and with its
ions o ftlie past the daylight dies
away and leaves us prostrate in the
dark. It is not easy in such conditions
to look up and accept the fate
that lies at hand, nor is it easy to
be satisfied with what is lef of our
V.v,- warns w in mi others at our side en- I
Joy to the full their cup of happiness.
It is not that we begrudge them their
Joys and their blessings; it is not
that we would like to see them dissatisfied
with life, nor yet that we
think them underserving of their
happiness but, the very fact that
they revel In the blessings we have
lmsaed, Is not conductive to our contentment.
We mast not forget, however, thai
behind all the apparent unfairness.
as eiewvd by our human eyes, lies a
good holesome reason, which, while
not plain to as, la sufficient in the
sight Of the Divine Providence which
directs oar lives. We cannot alt in
the sunshine all the t'me; indeed,
many of us feel Its wamth for only
short periods of our lives, and there
are still others who are forced
w_ throufh hard circumstances to stav
n V in the shadows always. We may not

there is no condition cannot go just
a little worse, and it is true that
onto o{ the conditions that we call
hardships would prove blessings to ,
those more unfortunate eircumstan- (
ted than ourselves. Because we ,
have missed the best that is in life it |
does not follow that there is nothing
else left that is worth while; be- ,
cause "our sun set before its rays .
warmed our lives" is no reason why
we must mourn in the darkness forever.
There are many other things
i nlife to light our way through the
shadows and gloom that seem to ?imt
us In at times, and these beacons i
of hope can be sighted only by those i
who determine not to give up without
at least making a good fight td
the lusttl If we remain inactive ond I
indifferent as to whether or not we i
accomplish anything at all; if we
make no effort to find our way out i
of the shadows, or if we are content I
to hind ourselves from those who
would give us a helpin ghaud if they
knew, we can expect nothing save i
failure and unhappiness. It is easy i
enough, of course, to theorize upon <
such a subject and we all know that I
facts are much harder to counteract 1
than theories and counsel is often i
not worth the time it takes to ofTer
it, yet, when we come down to hot- i
torn rock, as it were, it is unquestion- j
ably rue that strength of character i
of purpose, and of conviction are big I
factors in solving the problem of sue- i
cess. It is our inherent weaknesses i1
more than anything else?those nat- 1
ural weaknesses which are so appa- i
rent to othters, and yet to which we , i
are ourselves blind?that bring (i
about our failure. It is true that
the conditions under which we labor |
have a great deal to do with the matter
also, but we know, if we take the i
trouble to inform ourselves, that cer- i
tain conditions may be overcome if
we are strong enough to attempt the i
task. 11
Because things do not work out as
we had anticipated, indeed, as we
probably had every reason to expect
they would work out, is no reason
why we should give up in dispalr and
admitting our failure, be content to
be a misery both to ourselves and
those about us. It is fur better to keep
on trying even if we seem to do
nothing very much at first, rather
than to simply stand by idly and

m:<;i\\i\<; to wake rr.
We certainly are glad to note
that the country is beginning to wake
up to the fact that corporations are
lot the mean things they have been
[tainted by a certain class of politicians
and a few misinformed, misguided
or misfitted liewsuauer men.
We note that a bill was roently inl
rod u red in the Alabama legislature
liaving for its object the encouraging
industries of this class by freeing
iem from taxation for a certain
number of years. Also a similar
move was made by the city council
nf Savannah, Ga. And the tone of
the press generally for several
months past has been in favor of
more leniency toward corporations.
This is nothing hut right and just
snd shows that the people are beginning
to see that in place of misrepresentation
and abuse, corporations
should be encouraged. When
the Atlanta and Charlotte railroad
was first proposed, this county voted
$100,000.00 in nonds to have it come
through the county. The narrow
minded politician at once began a
tirade of abuse of the commissioners
who signed the bonds, making the
people dissatisfied, and they actually
went so far as to hang some of the
commissioners in effigy; simply because
they signed the bonds. The
bonds, however, were paid in time
and It has turned outtthat the voting
of these bonds was the best Invest-1
ment that county ever made. A tnon-j
ument should be erected by the peo-1
pie of Pickens county to the memory.
of Jacob Anthony and his associates'
who s'gned the railroad bonds. He
was an honorable Christian gentleman
and had the foresight and the
manhood to do his duty, regardless
of the clamorings and vRnorlngs of (
people who are governed. not by rea??*!.

Saint I'aul had some very sensible
lings to say along this line, rationing
every man "not to think more
ighly of himself than lie ought to
tiink," and so on in a vein of rure
isdom and sound teaching and rirli
unian experience. And in our own
ay Henry van Dyke more than any
11^ else lias voiced the spirit of true
viiierirani8in when he said that "detocracy
means not that I am as good
s you are, hut that you are as good
s 1 am."
Remember that a snob, unlike a
net, can be made by training and enironment.
But, like the poet, he ia
sually born to his fate. Turn the
earchlight of truth into your own
Ife and see what the dark places will
eveal. If you rai^stand up, honeaty

an Dyke, you can cheerfully dismiss

The better wo understand life, the
lore we come to the realization of
lie fact that happiness is a duty. It
ignifles that we are worklne in 'mr
lony with the laws of our being. It
? one of the concomitants of right

nalysis will be found to be living
11 right relations with the laws of
>ur being and with the laws of the
inlverse about us. This attitude,
his habit of happiness, is also a
icnefit to others. As cheerfulness
nduces cheerfulness in others, so
lappiuess inspires and induces haptines.
We communicate this conlltion
to those about us. Its effects
