Confederate veterans who attend the retulion at Camden May 18-19 can assure themselves of a royal welcome. Perhajpa in no other town. In South Carolina has the spirit of the i old South been kept alive with greater zeal than in Camden. Typically Southern in her manners and ..in her , mode of life, Camden-has assidouously cultivated. and .kept war in in thO ' hearts of her. neonlp ?n nMHlnir vnn. ^ ?ration lor the ipen of '60s who fought to maintain their Ideal of con' stltutlonal liberly. In ihe days "befo* the war" Camden was a,, seat of culture?a center from which radiated a good deal of what was best in the jol4 civilization, and through the changing years this community has remained largely true to the old traditions. The Confederate soldier will find there a true Southern welcome? a respect for his achievements and a pride In the undying glory of which even defeat could not rob him?that , could nowhere be warmer. The reunion at Camden should be largely attended. RATH ADJUSTMENT. When people in cities have" to pay exorbitant prices for food and farmers receive for their products bills for freight due in excess of the sale price of the food they ship; there is a slip in our system of distribution which endangers our safety. The remedy is not going to be easy to be found, but it must be learned and applied if we are to have a restoration to ordinary conditions. In seeking this remeflv we turn nntnmllv fli-ot to the rates of carriage which are taxed against the producers cr consumers, owing to the glut of the market or the dishonesty with which brok' ers manipulate the produce. Freight rates are higher than the business of the country can bear and they must rbe adjusted downward before we can 'enjoy prosperity. The railroad managers claim their properties are today earning next to nothing even with increased rates because their labor charges are too high. There are many people in thjs; country who heartily concur in this view from their own observation.. Particularly is this true as to unskilled labor, which fcr the last few years has received more than it earns, or more than, men of like or I . Ji r 1 j t even canaclty and training in Other walks of life can possibly make.] The war is over, for the time at least, and most of us have had to get back to a peace basis yitth 9. vengeance, and the country's ."railroad 'business must' be so adj^rfted that exorbitant carrying charges will not longer tend to retard our progress back to reasonably normal conditions. If in this process labor has to take some cut it will get no more than what has been the portion of other folks In all walks of life. But all of it cannot be taken out of labor without grave danger. Executive officers might take a little Of their own medicine and interest charges, which are now abnormally high, will have to be shaded before we can expect to bring freight and passenger rates back to a point where they will create instead of stagnating business. The railroad problem is the biggest domestic problem with which this country has to deal. The situation is in a mess from which it will . take wisdom and patience to extricate us. AGE-OL.D WISDOM Will men over learn true ,wisdom. A little more ithan 600 years before ^Christ Confucius was born In China, and all the wise men who have come ' , ?' (.since have made but' little improve}ment upon the philosophy; of the ?great Chinaman. Others have followed Ih China until the accumulated store of wisdom In the Celestial empire Is proverbial. And yeti the inheritors of all this wisdom, handed down from a time when our own an. ' v?ifcvf. 'L, , ' 1 . ' . lrtTrr y * cestors were but barbarians, are unable to prevent famine in their lan<^, so that today it is said that 5,000,000 people, in China are facing star- , vatlon and are appealing*, to other lands for help.. But this is not an , appeal for the relief of that, condition, only a few random thoughts in- . spired by cursory reading about the wisdom of the Orient. Verily, there . is nothing new under the sun?at least Insofar as some of our best known philosophical epigrams?so many of them haying been thought . out and set to words by wise men of the East centuries ago. L ' Brian Brown, in a recent book, gives my quotations from Confusius to prove that many of our so-called modern saws are old as the great Chinese philosopher? who laid down many rules of conduct that hold good even today. A notable quotation from this book in the New York Times is ' as follows: Speaking to Tzu Lu, the Master said, "Have you ever heard of the * s^x shadows which attend six great virtues?" "No," he replied; "Sit down, then, and I will tell you. Love of goodness without the will to learn casts the shadow called foolishness. Love x of knowledge without the will to learn casts the 1 shadow called % insensibility. Love of candor without the will to learn casts the shadow called rudeness. Love of daring without the .will to learn casts the shadow called turbulenc'e. Love of'firmness without the will- to learn casts the shadow called ecceijtriplty." : Which is as true today as when . pejaned and will remain true so long as'the rittture of man remains about as it' has. the" -last several thousand years.1 -v , ' - v '?. > ? > " * V \ THE HATED HYPHEN. , Nobody ever heard of an English- ! American or a Scotch-American, though of Irish-Americans we have had of late a plenty. And yet the last census of the United States reveals . the fact that there are in the United States 1,076,896 persons born in Eng- ' land and Scotland, as against 1,035,680 of Irish ' birth. Somehow the Scotch and English seem to take 1 naturally to our institutions and become assimilated almost immediately with thfeir arrival. Or at least they appear never to thrust forward the hyphen, of late years come into rather more or less disrepute. 'But the more picturesque Irish will not let usyforget that they are wrapt up in the destiny of the land which they gave them birth. They may be quicl> to catch on?particularly on the police force for whicl^ their well knpwn, fighting characteristics so well fit them?upon their arrival, but they will not,soon icu yu u xui&ui tut? wruiigo tii iruland. Your canny Scot dr your stolid Britisher may be just as loyal to his land, but he is far less vociferous about it. Born politicians, the Irish are quick to land in places where they can make their voice count. And they are not at all careful whether or not they take a chance of embroil- 1 ing Unole Sam in their age-old quarrel, which helps to keep us from lov ing them as we might when we'consider their many excellent qualities. A warning has been issued about i now counterfieit hundred dollar bills, so you had Better look over your loose change. With the near approach of the commencement season we can look ; forward with expectant hope to the settlement of all the troubles which are bothering this old world. ISLE OF MAN'S OLD PUMP On the quaint and picturesque Isle of Man, made famous by Hall Caine's fiction, an ancient pump of the chainbucket variety, built into a mdsonry abutment on the face of a rock cliff, lifts its endless load of water some eighty feet from the pool below, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. For many years a big steam engine \ of obsolete form, slow and extravagant of fuel, attended to the duty of i turning ine cnain snart. 13ut now the old boiler and cylinder are gone, and t in their place a modern wind motor has been installed, its slim, efficient steel form rising from the cliff top in : striking, yet not Inharmonious, contrast with the primitive ruggedness that marks the earlier work of man and nature. The whirling twenty-six foot wheel of the new motive power now is drawing up 14,300 gallons of water an hour at an average figure, and it is significant of the value of modern method that the saving of fuel, no longer needed for a hungry boiler, soon paid the cost of the mill. - ' ' . ? > "i ?

Guest) When I was young and frivolous and never Stopped to think, When I was always doing wrong, or just, upon the brink; When I was Just a lad of seven and eight and nine and teh, it seemed to me that every day I got in trouble then, And strangers used to shake their heads and say I was no good. But father always Stuck to me?it seems he understood. I used to have to go to him 'most every night and say The dreadful thincs that I hn*i iinno f A lot of smudges on my sheet that He will have to view. And little chance of heavenly, bliss, up there will I command.

He never seemed to think it queer that 1 should risk my hones, Or light with other boys at times,, or pelt a cat with stones; And when I'd break a window pane it used to make him aid. But though the neighbors said 1 was. he never thought me bad; He never whipped me, as they used to say to-me he should; That boys can't always do what's right?it seemed he understood. Now there's that little chap of mine just full of life and fun. Comes up to mo with solemn face to tell the bad he's done. It's natural for any boy to be a roguish elf. He hasn't time to stop and think, and figure for himself, And though the women-folks insist that I should take a hand, ; They've never been a boy themselves, and they don't understand.
