Some Reasons Why Mr. Garris
Should be Re-Elected.
A short statement of the work of
the commission during the ternm just
served by Mr. Garris may be of in
terest of the people, as well as to
the interest to the candidacy of Mr.
Garris himself in the approaching
primary. Mr. Garris takes the po
sition that the railroads and the peo
pe are bound to exist together for
all time to come, and that they~ should
live in friendship, if possible. It is
ni right that honest claims of einher
against the other shotuld have to be
sued for and collected at great ex
Ipense to both: therefore, the commis
Ision can (10 no higher duty than to
bring, if possible. the people and the
railroads closer together. Reason
ale rates only should be allowed by
the commission or desired by the rail
'ods. The average of South Car
olia~ rates are now below the average
of the rates throughout the south.'

Reason Why the Young Man Did

Detroit Tribune.
I have applied for a pocsitionl in
i dozen newspaper otfices and half
thai many stocres," said the young
nanl who was standing at the desk.
No one wvill listen to me. I can't

et is: 'We have nothing for vou:

tile man at the desk the courtesy of
throwing away the butt of tihe cigar

made no investigation of tile office you

vou had the most hazy idea of the
position you *desired to fill, and you
gave the impression that you were
looking for a soft job--that you were
born tired. You really asked for

or attempt to show that you expect
to earn any salary that might be paid
ou. Listen! There are no literary
positions on the average newspaper.
The mlanl who thinks that somebody
is paid a fmne salary for reading the
magazines and writing notices is
badly mistaken. There are few soft
obs in any professon. Everybody
has to work and dig and sweat. As
~he years pass and competition grows
