We ought to be as cheerful as we can, if only because to be happy ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness of others. 1 here in no doubt some selfish satisfaction in yielding to melancholy; in brooding over grievances, especially if more or less imaginary; in fancying that we are victims of fate. To be bright and cheerful often requires an effort; there is a certain art in keeping ourselves happy; in this respect, as in others, we require to watch over and manage ourselves almost as if we were somebody else. p ? -? ? We get most by giving rightly. The highway of holiness is along the commonest road of life. When life's all love, 'tis life; aughl else 'tis naught. Faith is the hand wherewith we takt everlasting life. A heart unspotted is not easily daunted.?Shakespeare.

A gentleman just from Texas was inerviewed the other.day by a Herald nan about the damage to the cotton srop by the much talked of boll weevil. He said: "Curiously enough, the joll weevil which has destroyed milions of dollars worth of cotton in Midlie and Southern Texas this season, las done no damage whatever in the lorthen end of the state. What the :ause of this is I cannot say, but it is probable that the insect has a limit of atitude beyond which it will not trav:1 and that the northen areas of the jotton belt will never be invaded. \nothersingular thing is that in the ivood weevil we have almost aD exact jounterpart of the cotton destroying aest; the two look so much alike that t is hard to tell them apart, and yet Lhe wood weevil is a harmless thing .hat has never been known to attack iny kind of plant or farm product. \ friend of njiue wuo usually grows jilO.OOO worth of cotton a year told lie just before leaving home that his 2rop would not bring him ^2,000 this ieason, a clear loss of $8,000 due to he ravages of the boil weevil.

Garrls Should be Re-elected. .| A short statement of the work of the Commission during the term just serv;d by Mr. Garris may be of interert to he peopie, as well as interest to the landidacy of Mr. Garris himself in the ipproaching primary. Mr. Garris akes the position that the railroads md the people are bound to exist together for all time te come, and that bey should live in friendship, ifpossi>le. It is not right that honest claims >f either against the other shocrid have n h? siifid for and collected at crreat ex >ense to both; therefore, the Commisioo do no higher duty than to bring, f possible, the people and the railroads ;loser together. Reasonable rates ony should be ollowed by the Commision or desired by the railroads. The tverage of South Carolina rates are low below the rates throughout the South, and especial care has been givn by the Commission to the agribul- i ural and manufacturing interests of he State. Only recently has all coton manufactures beeu reduced mateially. It is not excessive to estimate hat the Commission's reduction on otton piece goods has resulted in a aving to the mill interests of the State f something like $ 55,000.00 fertilizer saving by reduction to agriculture 90,000.00 deduction in transportation of cotton 106,000.00 deduction in wooci for fuel... 63,000.00 deductions in brick, starch, building material 40,000.00 deductions on articles of merchandise and others it is fair to estimate 120,000.00 Total $474,000.00 Now, this is a conservative estimate if the amount of money collected by he railroads less than they would have ollected on the commerce of the State or last year had it not been for the nterference of the Commission. The jommission has diligently under dif iculties kept up the guadual improvenent of depots in the State, so that we rnve more new and modern structures u South Carolina than in any State n the South. Since his term began lioro a rt> nn fho finntharn rftilrAAH welve additional trains doing passen;er service and five on the Atlantic JoastLine. Whileconditionsoan nevr be entirely satisfactory to all the peo>le, is it not fair to Mr. Garris to say hat he has done very well since he eels that he has made no demands exiept those that are justified? During the past year there have been ome serious accidents which have reulted in the losj of life, yet it is a fact hat there has been hauled in this stale about 3,500,000 passengers and lot a single white passenger killed. S'ow, if Mr. Garris, who is our comnissioner with only one term of service, could injustice and reason be? *. ... i jiu wuuuut cApcneuue auu uu tuia nucli for his people, ought be not to je retained as a matter of business, and hat too in the interest of all classes, ispecially the agricultural classes? Mr. Garris's life has been a struggle or the making of himself, and his itrong, intelligent, consistent work or the people we believe will be rewarded by his fellow-citizens.
