Lqt tbe Trusts Alone.
You needn't waste your time trying to
tight tbe trusts, tbe corporations, or even tbe
Individuals who have gained a little money.
The thing for you to do Is, to pattern after
them and make a little money for yourself.
There Is plenty of money In the neighbor
hood, ami you can get some of it, if you hustle
for it. You needn't believe one word
about the dishonesty of trusts, corpratlons or
rich Individuals. As a rule dishonest men
do not get rich, but there are some exceptions.
The best certificate of obaracter In
generally found In being able to pay debts.
Save a dollar of your weekly wage, if no
more, and put it In a bank. Deposits In
banks are the safest Investment that can be
made. All the bank stock, and al 1 the stock
holders are bound for it. Put your money in
the bank.
Ice Plant Seeded.
Abbeville Is, perhaps, the largest city In the
State in which there is not an Ice plant. AQd
no city has greater need of an ice plant. The
demand for ice Increases and the difficulty of
being supplied from distant plants Increases.
It is a matter of great deprivation to have no
loe in hot weather.
It teems with us that it 1b like the man
who didn't cover his bouse in dry weather
because he didn't need a roof in that sort of
vAAthnr. When summer cornea on It is too
late to pat In a plant, and In the winter we do j
not need It.
We are not able to name the right man for
the work, bat the right man can make good
money with a properly managed ioe plant
and a delivery wagon. Because of a combination
of circumstances Ice sells at a good
pxloe in Abbevlle.
Christian Sinners.
Notices were read from oar pulpits last
v Sunday morning, inviting Christians of every
variety and sinners of?every degree, 01
words to that effect, to attend religious service
every night in the tent on the Gary lot.
The religious meetings are no doubt, all
right, but we would call the tabernacle folk
to book on account of the English of their invitation.
Ezoept half dozen Jews in this olty, wf
would like to know who are not Christians.
And then, we would like to know which o
the Christians are not sinners.
Tbese evangelists seem to be not more oorreot
In the use of wordB than are oar own
prcrauucra.
The t>raduatinK Class.
Quite recently the Anderson Mall, the New
berry Observer, and "The Graduating; Class"
of tbe Anderson Graded School have had "a
monkey and a parrot time of It."
TblB newspaper does not Intend to offend
any body. We see no cause for unklndnes>
to any body. It may be that we do not quite
\ see the point at Issue. Itocours to us, bowever
that tbe rucus Is about tbo use of tb?
words "graduating a'axs"
We would, with due respect f. r si' the pa ties,
ask If tbere la any such word as "graduating
class?"
Tbe young gentlemen of the -'graduating
class" seemed a little hot and Intolerant. The
able editor like one of old, seemed to n< d.
But whether or not we understand tb>
splrli and meanlDg of tbls affair we would

graduate themselves. And we do not believe
\bere Is such an entity as the graduating
class.
It In to Laagb,
The Idea that the ootton association cad
rale the price of cotton Is a joke. InBtead ol
backing the speculators who have on)y a
speculative interest Id cotton, let the farmer*
go on as tbey have been doing in balldine
warehouse's and storing their cotton. This
newspaper believes that the grain growers 01
the West have been greatly benefited by tb*
buildlDg of gralnarles, wbere tbeir product
has been beidtosult the pleasure of the seller.
Receipts for cotton in a warehouse will
relieve the situation.

' 'the new colonel ~ ^
Rmm Ontat Proved Himself tm Re (
Muter of Men.
When Oaptaln Grant, formerly of tk*
regular army, was appointed colonel of a?
Illinois regiment in place of Colonel
Goode, John A. Logan while escorting
Mm to the camp said: "Colonel, the regiment
is a little unrnfjr. Do you think y<Ml
can manage the boys?"
"I think I can," replied Grant.
Logan and McClernand, two congressmen,
made patriotic speeches, and Logan,
after a two hours' oration, led forward
quiet man In plain citizen's clothes, saying:
"Allow me to present to you your new
oo mm and cr, Colonel U. S. Grant."
"Most of the soldiers observed him fov
the first time,'' writes Hamlin Garland,
from whose "Life of Grant" we havt
quoted. "They were astonished and disappointed."
Grant looked like a gravi
country dootor. But he showed that he
oould manage the "unruly boys." There (
were loud calls: "Grant 1 Grant! A N
speech!" Their late colonel used to
" orate" before them. The new colonel
stepped two paces toward'them and said V
In a clear, calm voice: 7
"Men, go to your quarters!"
If an 8 inch shell had exploded in their
ranks, the "boys" would not have been
more surprised, but they went to their
quarters. There was that in the new colonel's
voice which expressed command.
The tone was not loud, but it was given "T
with a clear cut inflection which showed
him a master of men. t
That evening at dress parade, u he stepped
to the center of the lggiment, wearing r
no uniform save a pair of gray trousers c
with a stripe running down the outside a.
seams and an old sword, the men jested in l
low voices about their new commander.
Colonel Goode, the late colonel, not in- ?
frequently used the dally parade as an oc- I
casion to make a speech, and the men ex- '
pec ted one from Grant. The line offl&a*
advanced, and the adjutant saluted.
"A soldier's first duty is to learn to obey
his commander. I shall expect my orden
to be obeyed as exactly and as instantly as (
if we were on the field of battle."
That was all he said. As the men -1
marched buck to quarters a private asked: >
"What do they mean by sending down a
little man like him to command this regiment?
He can't pound dry sand in a I
straight hole." /
"He can't make a speech. Look at the
clothes he wears. Who is he anyhow?" "
"Boys," retorted a seigeanf, "I'll tell
you who he is. He's the colonel of this
regiment, as you'll find, and don't you
forget it." , ,
The sergeant was a prophet. The regi
ment had obtained all the liquor it wisnea J
for. Grant stopped that. A man resisted
arrest. *
"What's the matter?", asked Grant of
lie officer of the day.
"The man persists in bringing liquor
into camp and refuses to give It up."
"Put him into the guardhouse."
"He refuses to go."
Grant stepped up to him, seized him by
the collar and jerked him outside of the 1
camp gate. "Get out of my regiment," he '
said. "You are not worth disciplining. If
you come- back, I'll have you shot!" A
big, dangerous man named Mexico wa*
tied up with a score of others for leaving
camp without permission. "For every
minute I stand here I'll have an ounoe oi
four blood," 6ald he to the coloneL
"(Jag him!" replied Grant.
One by one, as the hours passed, the
other offenders were released by the offloers
of the guard. Grant released Mexico
himself. The bully saw that his colonel
was his master, and the regiment began
to find out that it had a coloneL?Youth's

Sensible Physical Exercise*. ]
I have always been much impressed
with the facility with which the graduate
of West Point or of Annapolis does a varl* <
ety of things in physical exercises?exercises
some of which are perhaps not always
characterized by the name of athletics, although
useful not only In physical devel- 1
opment, but as adjuncts through life. Thx
man who can ride, and who can swim, and *
who con clance, and who can fenoe, and
who can dc< other things such as are taught
at West Point and Annapolis has distinct
accomplishments, the attainment of which
has not only benefited him during the
period of attainment, but the possession oi
which will oontinue to benefit him so long
as he shall have the use of his physical
powers.
I have long thought that the graduate
of Harvard ought to possess physical accomplishments
equivalent to, even if not
Identical with, thoso of his brothers at
West Point and at Annapolis, and I am '
Inclined to think that, unless he is a cripple
or otherwise infirm physically, it, is the
duty of the university to see that he does
possess such before it gives him his degree.

Selling; Paper* on the Roof.
Not all the enterprising newsboys are in
the United States. The 6mall street merchants
of Paris, when forbidden to enter ]
the cars and omnibnses, got over a serioui
difficulty in real Yankee fashion.
It was easy enough, of course, to Bell
papers through the windows to people
seated in the vehicles. Bat how was it
possible to reach would be oustomen
perched on the imperiales, the seats provided
on the roof? A youth promptly i
solved the problem. i
He procured a stick seven or eight feet
long, with clamps fastened to the sides.
Papers were put in the clamps. On the 1
top of the stick there was a small oup with (
a hole in the bottom. The
hole was a very lm]>ortant part ol '
the apparatus, for it reached all the way
down, and through it came the copper
coins of one or two sous, according to the
prioe of the paper which the patron select

For some time Mr. 8. B?d Cowhd, who /or- S

here, has heen working for promotion. He I*
employed In ihe Hallway Mall Service as a

It seemed from statements made at head

secured hit* promotion.
Mr. Cowan will noon be on a regular run,
