f What it Goad Citizenship ? * Good citizenship ts a title of honor that every character wanta to wear ; but in a great measure we all fall far short in living up to what true citizenship is in reality. There are certain ti ut ?tn we owe to oar country that we must perform before we can conscientiously claim the honor or the right to good citizenship. Opin ions may differ UN to what constitutes this honor. It is not too much, how ever, to say that a good citizen should be one who is sober, indus trious, economical, intelligent, law abiding, patriotio, neighborly and God-fearing. Soberness ip the state reached when any ono entirely reoovers from intoxication. The importance of sobriety becomes apparent when we retied and behold the evil influenoes radiating from the faces o? thc dram drinkers and those who are falling in the pathway of strong drink Uko grain beforo the nickle. We should not only be an ab stainer from 6trong drink, but we should cultivate an even temper and be able to withstand the temptation of any evil habit that tends to rob us of our ideal citizenship which every American is entitled to by right of birth. The industrious citizen always has employment. You do not see him standing on the street corners, with his hands in his pockets to bis elbows, hunting a job. "An idle brain is the devil's workshop," besides, idleness is dishonorable and degrading to humanity. It is very necessary for each gene ration to be economical. One is, to a great extent, dependent on the en vironments of another. In the be ginning everything that was made was pronounced very good, and when we waste our time and ncgleot our duty we then become trespassers upon divine right, and when we are called on to measure up to our citi zenship it lacks a little of being as good as we thougnt. Our Master taught us a lei- >n of economy when he fed the multitude with (ive loaves and two fishes by having the frag ments taken care of, as much as to say, "Becauso I have power to feed you is no reason that you should be wasteful." It is of vital importance that man kind should be intelligent. When he is intelligent he is well informed. The necessity for such a provision in our educational system must be ap parent, when we remember that to make good citizens, and therefore good and intelligent government, was the primary object of our fore fathers in prescribing education ?or tho people in tho constitution of our nation. It is evident that to be a good citizen one must know what the duties, as well as the rights, of citizenship are. This knowledge can be obtained only by the study of the general principles of government and of tho application and working of those principles in our government in State and nation. Such study can be most profitably made at the school. Lessons imparted in youth leave a permanent impression on the mind. It is the duty of all to be law abiding. As government is neces sary, and constituted for the good of all, it is the duty of all to support it. The laws that are passed by our government i should bc obeyed, whether they arc considered just or not. Instead of violating such laws we had better be striving to "ttain a higher standard of citizenship so that we may be able to change or modify such as is not for our best interest, according to law, and not lay ourselves liable and then employ a lawyer to try to re-establish our citizenship. Patriotism.-When a man is patri otic he is full of love for his country. I triotism means more than shoal ing the musket against the enemy. .. ipj *e the spirit of patriotism had C6t ?ed i How in the vein? of the Kathe, o his Country and his follow ers when 'ornwallis laid tho power of Great Britain nt George Washing, ton's feet. What would have been the result? It would have meant destruc tion to tho American cause. Patriot ism, guided by Providence, set this enlightened government on her feet. True patriotism alone will give us good citizenship. America, with her great institutious of learning, her great railroad systems and great naval forces, is second to no other nation in tho world. Yet wo owe it all to patriotism. Our Neighbor.-Those living near by are not always our neighbors. The priest and Levite passed close to the unfortunate man who had fallen among thi* ?res and was in a helpless condition. They saw the wounded man, but took special oare not to assist the poor fellow. The priest and Levite were not in pos session of that spirit whioh teaches men to be neighborly. But a certain Samaritan, as be journeyed, came lo the wounded man when he Baw him, got down off his beast and bound up the wounds, took him to an inn and had him cared for. The Samaritan had to sacrifice time, la bor and money in order that he might be a neighbor tv the man who had fallen among thievea. The priest and Levite did not expect any record to be made of that par ticular incident, but when God's love, through the heart of that good Samaritan, made this public when he roached the inn, down there in Jeri oho, we still see the priest and Levite passing by on the other side. We oan all see in our fellowman the same spirit that caused the priest and Levite to pass by on the other side, but if we would only stop and gaze at our own fair form, before the mirror of God's love, we could see a j likeness of tho same spirit. So when I we see the family next door to us in need, who oannot help themselves, and fail to give a helping hand, we are passing by on the other side, and fail to be their neighbor. Then to bo a good citizen we must be neigh borly. God-fearing.-Among the many ' qualifications that constitute good citizenship God-fearing is the great- [ est and most important. It should be the motto of every man and wo- ; man, whether they are a good citizen ' or not. By fearing God and prac- i ticing our fear we grow into good citizenship and become fit to be ; adopted into a spiritual citizenship that is ours by divine right, if we j will only work to it and not from it. ; Many of us wander from the right j in order to carry out some selfish j motive. When we are working strife in a community by using a perverse tongue, we fail to fear God j and walk in his ways. As we are a part of the workmanship of God's own hands, we have been sent out to cultivate our talents, that our souls may return in brightness to hear that welcome invitation due the faithful servant. On the other hand our souls will return in darkness to hear the doom of the unfaithful servant. "No man liveth to himself."

Thc police announce they will en deavor to have tho body exhumed by tho authorities at Huxley, Ga., whither it was taken by Logier soon after his brother's death. Carl Legi er's death occurred De cember 10, five days nf ter ho was found ablaze in his room at his boarding houso in Summit avenuo, where he lived with Alexander.

Editora Koo w we Courier,: Yesterday mot nins; we left Prescott, surrounded by snow-capped mou ains and with a white froet everyW' ere, * to land among oranges ou the . eoe nt Pho nix yesterday afternoon. Quite a chance of olimate in so short a time. Tempe is onl) about nine miles from Pbonix, situated in the Salt River Valley. Pbonix is the present capital of the Territory, but if Arizona and New Mexico be merged into one State, as proposed by the joint State hood bill, the capital of the new State thus formed will be at Santa Fe, New Mexico. I oan see no ad vantage to be gained by Statehood, and some disadvantages will result* j Phonix is a pretty city of eight or ten thousand people. Tempe, my present home, is a town of 1,500 or 2,000 inhabitants, supported by agriculture and one of the Territorial normal schools. It is reaohed by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroad systems. The eli mata is 6o mild in winter that tigs and semi-tropical fruits do well here. Oranges are grown here, and the hay and grain crops are real good. Wages are high, and consequently living is high. Good mechanics get $4 a day. Northeast of here is the big dam under constructiou by the TJuited States, the cost of whiuh will be one or two million dollars. Its purpose is to store the water at times when there ?B more water than is needed, and supply it at times when there is not enough. It will supply water to hundreds of acres of land that is now useless for want of water. I had a conversation yesterday with a Presbyterian minister who preaches at Congress, Ariz. Ile said he was the only Protestant minister between Phonix and Prescott, a dist ance of 135 miles. These people aVe either indifferent or opposed to the ohuroh, except in rare instances, which make possibly less than 5 per cent of the entire population. How ever, the energetic missionary usu ally wins his way, even among his ! opponents. To-day is the first since we left Seneca that we have been out of sight of snow. Respectfully, C.

SEED TIME *&$e experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far differ ent soil than others ; some crops need differ enthandling than others.

[Greenville News, February ll,] By unanimous vote the stockholders of tho Seneca Cotton Mills, in special meeting at the Bank of Seneca yostorday morning, agreed to increase tho capital stock from about $208,000 to $400,000, issuing $100,000 of first preferred stock. This will enable the management to take up several pressing obligations, including the $20,000 of protested notes given under tho Duncan administration and recently placed in suit by the American National Bank of Spnrtnnburg, and will, it is understood, placo tho plant, always considered a promising textile property, iu a fair way to begin earning dividends again. ^ Tho stockholders olected theBO direc tors: Francis J. Beizer, of Charleston; Malcolm Campboll, of Woonsocket, R, I, ; Frank M. Cary, of Seneca; Frank Ham mond; of Greenville, and Frank M. Jor dnn, of Seneca. The directora re-elected Malcolm ( nmpbell, of Woonsocket, president; Frank Hammond, of Ibis city, treasurer and geneial manager, and Fiank M. Jor dan, of Seixcn, secretary. Mr. Ham mond's management of tho property since his election as treasurer and general manager upon tho retirement of former President linnean, was heartily approved and he will retain practical control. Tho knowledge that the mill finances were in bis bands has dono much to strongthon the confidence of timid stockholders in tho ultimate prospority of tho plant. Tim plan which tho stockholders unanimously approved yesterday is the same winch they voted down January 20th, through a misunderstanding of its purpose.
