In her short journey along life's highway she has 'learned a safe road to success, and perhaps happi ness. The young woman in question was a witness a few days ago in one of the boodle trials. She was confi dential stenographer to the defend ent, and her testimony was expected to be of great imoprtance to the pro secution in establishing the guilt of the accused. Naturally the attorneys for the defense objected to tle young lady testifying, and arued that what slhe knew had coie to her in a confi dentia. capacity and theref.re should be considered sacred. and ougit not to be admitted- as evidence. The prosecuting lzwyers argued that to withhold the testimony would be conceali.-2 fraud and crime. and thus defeat the ends of Justice. The judge ruled in accordance with the conten tion of the prosecution, and directed the young woman to answer. She an swered, -and her answer might serve as a guiding prin-ciple for 9thers. It was the language of wisdom. It was a maxim for any seeking a way to business success. or the avoidance of much trouble in other walks of life. Her answer was this: "I simply at tended to my own business, and never knew anything else that went on in the office." She is a star stenograph er. and a very wise yong woman. In a few words she gave the seoret of how mauch suceess and happiness can be obtained in this world. "Mind your own business'" is a safe rule and a splendid motto.' '-Macon Tel egraph. This was a wise young woman. The truth is it is a good motto for others .than stenographers. The disposition of human nature is too much inclin ed to the direction of attending to the business of other people. The po sition of stenxographer, horwever, is peculiarly one of confidentisi rela tions and whether the position be filled by a man or a womnan he or she should 'learn the lesson given by the young woman above. ''I simply at tend to my own business, and never know anything else that went on in the soffiee.'' *A 'wise young twoman. She wil-l have no trouble in securing a ,good position. A good motto for other people as well. Mind your own business and you will 'have your hands full. ,* It is reported that the Italian 'who was traveling through Miasissippi 'with a tame bear about a 'mont;h ago has been seen with 'a lot of money rwithin the past few days-and with ont any bear.-,Anderson Mail. This is very oruel. You should not even 'make the suggestion. State Superintendent of Educabion Martin says he is opposed to comn rpulsory e 'ucation. Um-r-maybe the governor was right about those appointments, after all-Anderson Mail. It is better to have one 's eyes open ed late than never. Everybody is going to the state fair this week, and there is no excuse. Never before has N'ewberry had so many trai-ns into and out of Colrnm bia during the day. Three each way on both roads regularly 'and an ex tra train on the Southern Wednes day and Thursday. Why not go. Some 'weeks ago 'we had a letter from Sept. R. E. Simpson that ,he was ready to go to 'work on the new depot at Dyson. Nothing has yet been done and the winter is coming on. The people of i;his community need ~better depot facilities and the Southern has admitted this by agree ing to bui:ld the depot. Why not do it ? The -e is not good 'reason for so long delay. We are expecting Mr. Simpson to put us a neat and comn fortable ibuilding at Dyson and to do so very soon and we have so told the people and we hope he will not dis app)oint us. It would seem that the meeting which was held at Edgefield on Sat urday to consider the proposed 'trol sley line from Augusta via Edgefield either to Greenwood or Newberry, meant business. As we understand it, this meeting was a local_meeting, at which only the people in Edgefield, interested in this ngovement, were pr!esent, and that the ehairman, Hon. B. E. Nicholson, will very soon call another meeting and invite repres ;reenwod . The-I iN m r t a hinvcl a to gret the coI 'pnay organized a work commeniceed and the rest N follow naturally. STAND FIRM. We trust that the exeitement a paniev condition of the ione.. ket in New York for the past s< eral days will not frighten any of t cotton gTowers of the south, but t-1 they will stand steady in the lx and not rush their cotton on the m. ket.

In Memory of Miss Leila Baker Leila, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Baker, was born in Newbe: county about 17 years ago, wl about 14 years old the joined the be el Baptist .eaureh and made a pul profession of -Christ. She lefi brothers and one sister and a devo father -and mother to mourn her parture, nd with such pleasant s roundings, her life bid fair to shorf but'happy, but just when prospects were most flattered, C sent his messenger-death--and e ed her to her upper and better hoi She was a loving dughter and ter and by her honesty, faithfailn and piety, she soon won for her an enviable reputation. Her life i adornied by ny traits that go make up a true and faiithful girl. Dear Leila was en affection girl, to my mind she was one of 1 noblest young ladies. Just three weeks before, her .d little sister Carrie wtas laid to r< and it is heart-breaking to think bi she requested her delar father to her away with much care and to that everything was "'to its placi May a kind father and mother s tain. It is so hard to think during her ness how she begged so tenderly: just one "erumb of bread" as disease would not allow strong die She has there one precious sister Wiho went on a while before, And with Carrie and her dear one She awaits us on that shore. Will the others God ha given, Be as true as These have been?i If so all will surely enter, And united be again. Yet we hope again to meet them, When 'the day of life is fled, And in heaven with joy to greet .the Where no more farewell tears shed.

Warren Edwards, a conductor the East End line, had an exciit experience last night with two be up men at the corner of Redbank a Delta avenues.
