ISucc?s? Without Money. - ^Unfortunately, a considerable amber of people measure success aly by the yard-stick of dollars and mts.- If a man has amassed a for me, his life is pronounced ? suc ?ss, and if he has gathered about im but little wealth his life has been miserable failure, according to the jan dard cf some. 'Thc recent ending of ? useful and rilliant career in Columbia contra ints such a statement. The lamented r. Babcock's life was a success. Few ten achieved-more in their ctiosen eld- cf activity than did this man of reat mind and great soul. Yet Dr. ?abcock did not amass a fortune. His state was estimated to be worth 25,000. Had he made the amassing f wealth the chief end of life, he ould have accumulated a fortune ten Lines that amount. He 'had practical j a monopoly in this section in his pecialty and he could have exacted irge sums from unfortunate mer nd women. But he did not. Doubt ?SS he said, as other great men have aid, "I haven't time to make money." But why should any man be puffed ip over his ability to make money? Lfter all, it is not a high order ol aient. Frequently the most unlet ered man can "drive a bargain" anc ake in the shekels more successful y than men who are equipped foi arger things. Away with the false standard thal bnly men who amass wealth are ? success. Trenton Agricultural jClub.

Scott a void, so big, so empty that not all that India's treasure holds fill the dreary ache. The voice cf the most unselfish (after the dear Christ) is no longer heard even in echo, for the dark, un fathomable eui Lain of death has low ered upon the once love giving moth er forai of Essie May Scott, she who in the days gone by, was a wellsprnig of sunshine and unselfishness, who brightened the old plantation home of the widely known and well-to-do William Mays, in the hospitable township of Meriwether, Edgefield. The happy friend of all who knew her, the helpful, thoughtful mother who never wearied in her untiring love for her only son Judson and daughter, Mrs. Lawrence, but reach ed out to the adopted son George Spires with kindly affection and who returned with loving thoughtfulness her devoted care. As the hours become days and the golden light of coming weeks speed on their way, the religion of Essie Scott reached beyond the gray lightt of hope defsrred to the straight but narrow road whose way she trod, pa tiently, smilingly, trustingly through the dark and- the light never ques tioning the how' or why, but doing her best, believing that some day she would reach Him bye and bye. And so as life is of God the leaves of our rose of existence fall and fade, each petal a thought of the dear one de parted, and we mourn the rose that is dead, but through fyie shroud of the withering leaves a tiny bright spot is seen and the winter of despair fades swift as the spring draweth near, and so in the heart the tiny bright spot is the hope of God planed in each life, and the change of our dear one, serves but to lift us up higher and through the mist of sor row, we joy in the faith that guides us upward to God and to our loved oa% To Essie: The winter of your life is past; The eternal sunshine of eter nal spring is yours. ; Somewhere above on some beauti ful shore, the night is spent and you rest forevermore. -Augusta Chron icle. / FOR SALE!
