A To those1 of us who toil unceasing ly in the valleys, who spend the bet ter part, of our existence hidden away among tho thousands who peo ple thc lowlands of life, but little re lief is afforded from their monoto nous aspects. Tile full uniformity which meets our vision gives no promise of the wealth of beauty which lies within our reach, out of sight for tho moment, perhaps, hut attainable by all who venture upon the sear"h. The unvarying scenes which confront those who move In beaten tracks are not conducive to either happiness or prosperity and lt seems as tho ,h their very lack of inspiration should form the needed incentive for making a change. Con tinuous application, however, with nothing lo vary the monotony of ef fort must Inevitably crush down those vague longings which haunt our Inner consciousness, and the un heard cries of the heart are stilled by tho weight of unkind circum stances. One small break hi the monotony of the rolling plains, one slight variation in the smoothness ol' the low levels, or one bright spot in the sombre shadows would mean more than words can tell to those wno labor without ambition or inter est, and sometimes without hope. If the unsatisfied soul that strug gles so Ineffectually against its un eventful existence could soar into Hie highlands of life what a baptism of hope would follow! No longer would its heart cries be stilled, because those cries would burst into songs of piaise. No man having once attain ed Hie heights can In? content to again stumble among the lowlands. Tho splendo ' Of the high places appeals to him in snell n way as to bring i il Hie best thal is In him, and few m who have once experienced the hap piness of lospondlng lo tho higher In Iluences of Ufo are ever willing again to pass beyond their call.

So, too, does the sunshine in the mountain places of existence bur nish the lives of those who turn their faces to its radiance. And as the d wears on and the sun reaches Its ze nith the mountains fairly glisten in their golden bath, while the ever shifting clouds cast their shadows hero and there, shadows that appear but for a moment and then roll across the inonu tains from place to place as though loath to darken one spot for loo long a time. Tho light that shines upon tho mountains ls sym bolical of tho light that glorifies our existence. When we reach the heights and stand possessed of our heart's desire our lives become irra diated. Wo bask in the sunshine of our happiness, yet lifo can never he perfect, no matter how high we may climb or how bright our fame, and tho clouds that drop their shadows at Intervals upon the slopes are ex emplified a thousand times in life by the shadows which sometimes darken our existence. They enduro but a brief time, however, and soon dis appear along with the clouds and leave us once again free to walk in tho light wo have caught within our hearts. As glorious as aro tho mountain peaks in the dawn and noon-time they are never so wonderful as when tho evening shades begin to climb their darkening sides. Tho deep tinted trees that mass themselves In solid ranks along tho hillsides may not mourn as do tho seas in their "(lowing purple." but they call to mind such mysteries of lifo and eter nity, such peaceful dreams with Cod as their Sentinel thal the heart grows full willi the wonder and tho sweet ness of it all. Just so does the light of Hie lade gently away for those who have learned to climb among tho mountains, not with spectacular ef fect or terrifying manifestations, bul willi tho gradual fadnig away after tho day ls done of nil those things for which they have no further use. The darkness has no terrors because tho Sentinel keeps lils watch just as sundy among tho shadows as in the brightness of day. Tho light on tho mountain, tho light, that (lits from peak lo peak, revivifying at first, thou glorifying, and lastly clothing in mystery and wonder tho purplo domes, can be traced In each of our lives if only wc know where to look for it at first and how to follow Its passago to the last. To find the mountain peaks in lifo is but tho be ginning of tho search; to so live that TO FIGHT SOUTHERN BEETLE. The Hying Pine--Tho Cause, Extent and Remedy. Since tho location of Forest Iitsect Field Station 7 at Spartanburg on July 5 the agents of the bureau of entomology, U. S. Department of Ag riculture, detailed there for duty have been very active In tho study of the character and extent of the dep redations hy the Soulhorn pine bootlo In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Louisiana, Mary land, Arkansas, Missouri and Ten nessee. Observations by the agents, and In formation conveyed by correspond ents from ali sections of the South, show that ill the aggregate a vast amount of tlmber has been killed by the Southern pine beetle during the past two years. Tho dying and dead trees occur as scattering individuals or in clumps, large patches, and in some places whole forests. All aro more or less conspicuous by their fading, red, black or denuded tops, plainly Indicating the presence of tho beetle or the progress of its work. lt bas been found that each patch of dying trees, with their fading and greenish brown tops, located any where in the Southern States is a menace to the living pine within a radius of three or four miles. The broods of the Southern pine beetle developing In the bark of tho trees of one such center of infestation may swarm in any direction and settle in the healthy timber. Tims one or more additional patches ls killed, until nearly all of tho large as well as the small pine over extensive areas is dead. When these centers of infestation are numerous within the area of a county, or even a larger section of territory, they can only be compared vi th the starting of so many forest fires, and, as has boon demonstrated, they may lead to far greater destruc tion of merchantable pine than has ever been recorded as resulting from tire in the Southern States. There fore they demand similar prompt and radical action on the part of the owners in order to protect their liv ing pino. Evidence of Hoot le's Presence. 1. If in clumps or patches of pine, where there ls no plain evidence of serious injury by fire, the foliage fades to pale green and changes to yellowish and pale brown, it Indi cates that the tree's aro dying from tho attack of the Southern pine bee tle, and that the bark on such trees Is Infested with the developing broods of minute white grubs and transforming beetles. Therefore such trees are a menace to the living trees. 2. If thc trees are reddish brown and partially fallen foliage, or If all the foliage bas fallen, it indicates that the broods of beetles have emerged and that such trees are no longer a monaco lo t.c living ones. 3. If the trees die during the pe riod between tho first of March and tho 1st of October, they will be abandoned by the broods of beetles within a few weeks after the foliage begins to fade. 4. If the trees begin to die during the period between the first of Octo ber and tho first of December, the broods of bool les will romain In the bark until In March or April. (To be Continued.)

Charleston, Nov. 8.-Tho result of the primary election yesterday ave tho election of Col. John P. Grace as mayor with a plurality of 194 votes over Major T. T. Hyde and a major ity over both Mayor Hyde and Mr. Hughes of 85 votes. The supporters of Col. Grace were generally elected on both the board of aldermen and school commissioners. Tlie following is tho list of success ful candidates at tho polls: Mayor-'John P. Grace. Aldermen-Henry P. Williams, O. E. Johnson, L. M. Plnckney, Wm. H. Grlmbnll. lt. J.

The vote In the mayoralty race which over shadowed all other contests led by a substantial excess over the vote of Henry P. Williams, who led the al dcrmanic ticket. Unquestionably the Issue of the campaign was tho Consolidated Com pany, which had hoon prominently featured by Col. Grace and his speak ers. The attack which was ' made upon thc administration also served to attract opponents to Col. Grace's standard. Election Expense Heavy. Col. J. P. Grace to-day lllod, in ac cordance with tho law, a sworn state ment of the election day expenses, at tho office of tho clerk of the county court, this statement hoing supple mental to the ante-election statement which the candidates also have to lile. Tho statement shows tho expenditure of $5,750 on election day for hire of vehicles, advertising, challengers, watchmen and refreshments. His ante-election statement was for the sun of $2,700, making nearly $S,.r>00 which the election cost bim. Major Hyde's statement will prob ably run much in excess of Col. Grace's figures, his ante-election statement having hoon for $4,059. Major Hyde is yet to (lie his supple mental statement. The office pays a salary of $3,500 a year. J. E.
