He does not look for positions; positions look for him. Re does not complain, he nets. He accomplishes results, and these accomplished things speak' more loudly for him thtin sores'of subsidized uewspapers. What the world wants, What the world rewards, is the mati who does things. Discouragements and failures are ineanin&less nothings to liim; re suits afe the Biibstantial things for Which lie strives and attains. There is no trouble in selecting him from the crowd, he can be picked out just as Unerringly ss his opposite, who bides'' with discouragement and' failure, and they leave an abiding imprint on hiB countenance.' 11 ' ' Men who can do things in industrial, commercial and finuueial life are as scarce as iheir uppusitea . fere plentiful. Yes, the tree of opportunity, heavy with ^blden fruit, is ever waiting for the man who does things. Opportunities are not ackreei they Are plentiful, more plentiful than ever before since history "began. ' They await the poor boy'who is faithful to his trust, ^hey await the employe Vbo does things without looking jit the clock. People who are always looking at the clock never amount to much in hny thing. Men who do things' never consult the clock to see if they cap stop. Time was made for slaves, ubt ior virile men who enthusiastically do things Employes who' consult' the clock will always be employes without the hope of rising.

Will ever be ready for either or both. 4 ' ' 1 Concentration of thought and absorption in inflexible purpose mark the' mnn who does things. Jjooanefla of thought and instability of purpose m&rk the man who never does anything. The public toon knoWe ode from the other and beatb^a upon him the recognition that he deserves. The man who doeS things is always at a premium. ' His services never go begging. He is ever welcome. Success attends his footsteps and failure stands aloof from him.? Ex. Till Uts cf Cotton Bitflag. The recent suggestion of a Kansis milling company that the troubles of the Southern planters could be corrected to a large extent by the more general use of cotton bagging for Southern products, being generally discussed' and many busfhess men endorse the fdea. It depends, of course, upon the formers whether they wilt use potton covers instead of jute for Yli> ir cotton bales and many uses to Which tlifc proposed new wrapper oould tie put. Even with the products ' which ' the farmers do not originate, they could seouro the use'of dot ton wrappers by insisting upon deceiving these foreign' products only in cotton' covers. Tn tips way they would be creating a demand for thoir own litaple and maintain the price. Many mills stand ready to make a atouter cotton wrnpping cloth if $ie demand, is only created, and t\ie cost will be little, if any, higher to1 the farmera. ? ' ? ? Ten years at hard labor in the I penitentiary was the s^nteuce ira* posed upon Joe Wade, a negro, by I Jndge Gage on the charge*of wife k beating at-the recent session of j^^nrt at Mouck's Corner.

Superintendents and other officers shall be appointed as the board deema necessary. The services of State geologist and State chemist shall be nvailuble to the board when required. The board shall ascertain the phosphate area of the State and what steps may be necessary to reclaim such lands and prevent tiespass upon them. ? St. yaleimnr^ Day. The peculiar customs connected with the celebrution of certain days in the year are'in many cases quite ancieut and their'origin lost in antiquity. As for instance the origin ofjSt. Valentine's day, the I4tb of February goeB back to Ko-1 man times. In Kotne the pagan fetfst of the Lupercalia was held ou Feb. 14 in honor of the god Pauuus or Lupercus. One of the customs eonuected with tlps^feast was for boys or young men to draw from a boxjof tablets ou each of which whs inscribed the name of a girl. ' Each boy was expected to keep company with and fee devoted'to the girl for a year, who?e name he had drawn from the box. After the Romans had been converted the Christian teachers and ministers found it hard to break up this heathen custom. Hence they decided to make a Christian custom of it. They named the 14th day of February St. Valentine's day after Valentine, a Chtistian bishop who hail suffered mar tyrdom in the reign of Claudius on Feb. 14, 270 A. D. The young t> n _ a -- oi ir t Atuiiiit 11 ^uimiiaus inei on oi. >aientino's day and draw letters or notes from n box, very like the heathen lmd dime before. This custom gradually grew into the into the modern custom of sending valentines on the 14th of February. Of late years some of the valentines are very beautifully printed and in some cnses are quite expensive. It has been predicted that the custom would die out, but it is quite as live now as it was in our boyhood. The silly custom of sending the wretchedly printed comic valentines we hope is dying out. It is a custom "more honored in the breach than the observance."?Word and Works. According to the first annual report of Immigration Commissioner Watson, who has been in office less than a vpnr.

' Such a great return upon the in- | vestment in the burenu of imini- j gration ought to encourage liberal ; treatment of that bureau' by the j legislature. Commissioner Watson j has shown himself an intelligent and efficient worker for the practi-! eal development of his State, and i he should be cordially supported in his effor a to expand his wealthcreating operations.

Russia's Hjajjrya Stormy Om. Russia has already been tl scene of two great revolution Tho first popular uprising occurre in 1730, when Peter II.'| was di posed and a Catherine placed o the throne. Again in 1702 thei was a revolution that gre out of the tyranny of the rciguiu house of RoumuufTa that threa eiifid to terminate their rule. Tu this second uprising, Pet? III. was forced to. abdicate tli throne, and the revolutionist crowned Catherine II in his plac Her reign was hardlyless storm than that of the rUler who ha been dragged from the throne an I murdered.' The country was in constant atHte of serai* re vol ntioi and in 1774 th? poseacks entere into an open rebellion Which las ed a year before the ruler siioceef ed in briugipg them into subjc< tion. History tells of many revoh tious among the nations of tl world. The first about whic there is anything like definite re< ord was the fall of the Roman En nirx mirt tliM t>mlii>llialiinunl nf fti republic on it-* ruins by tJutfi Cat-zar in 47 B. C. The next grei revolution was in 331, when tli Macedonian Empire sustained tL Persian on the defeat of Dam CodomanuB l^y Alexander tL Great, For more than two hundrc 'years the world lived in compari tive peace, but in 536 there eatr the third ip^torio revolution i which the great Assyrian Empii was destroyed and in its wal came the nation of the Medes an Persians, which was the work < Cyrus the Great. In bOO A. I the spirit of revolution swept ov? Europe and the Empire of tl Western Franks began und< Charlemagne. In the centuries that have fo lowod not a nation on the glob has escaped a revolution. Porti gal was shaken by one in 14>4< and England experienced her tin Berious one in 1775, when tl Americau colonies revolted and i 1776 came the Declaration of Ii dependence. England had exp< i rieucea anoiuer revolution 111 tot I that was fraught with consequent en neat ly us great as those resul ing from the revolt of her Amer : can colon tea. In that great popt !ur uprising there was such . demand for reforms that the ciow o >uld not resist it with the bad ing of armies.?N. Y. World. Guilty on Counter Charges.
