A poet | said, "Remember, thai rags j may cover a boy, who will some ! day be the great world's joy." The family is the oldest and j most valuable institution on j earth. It begins properly with ! the first offering. In reality; there is no family until the hus- i band and wife can say to each > other. " Two times one are two ahd one to carry makes three." i And the little third party often j brings the husband and wife closer together than anything else could rossibly do. J*The foe to home, peace and happiness is worry. The habit of worry keeps us crossing j bridges b*!fore . < thorn. The evils that fret us most are those which threaten us but have not yet arrived. Stop worrying _ 1 i n i i ? aooui me Dreaa tnat you are ? afraid will not rise, the new dress j you are sure the dressmaker j Will spoil, and the next month's i rent. If you will firmly resolve ; to worry only about the evil or | special hardship this hour or minute and can't be avoided, ninety-nine cases out of one hun- ! dred you will find there is no such evil or hardship. Every wife should be a help- . mate to her husband. For in- | stance, if you have the pleasures , of a large washing before you ' and lie has the laborious task of ; going to the city, or taking a) trip through the country, change ( work work with him: let him help vou.wash in the forenoon i and you help him ride in the; afternoon. A geod wife will | ... deny herself to entertain her I .husband, especially on wash day. | Hut some men will say, "When ! I come down to that I'll hire it j done.'' We find no fault in hirintr i - it done, but as to coming down to help a woman, my dear sir, j who created you so far above a; woman that you have to con- j descend to. come down? . ** In democratic countries like I America and Canada, where the fate of the nation is in the hands ' of the people the future of the 1 natiorr is in the hands of the children. They must be fitted for their high responsibilities by the influences of the home. These countries should fear the disloyalty and contention of the fire- ! eide more than the nefarious! Elots of scheming politicians. If 1 oys wrangle and contend at home,* if they cannot discuss with dignity the little questions that arise from daily intercourse with one another, be sur' they will not honor the nation when they take their places in the senate, parliament, or congress to discuss the groat problems j that confront the civilization of the twentieth century. Militia May Go to Jamestown. According to published reports it seems likely that instead of holding the usual summer encampment of the militia at Columbia this year the troops will be taken to Jamestown for military experience. Adjutant General Boyd is said to favor the Jamestown proposition, but he i say's th: !; ,? uid Ik- unwilling to spend more 011 this trip than 1 is usually spent on the State en- j campment, on account of the ex-1 tra efforts that will have to be put forth to bring the troops up to the requirements of the Dick law, this year being the end of! the five year period and equip- J mint being badly needed all; along the line. Of co rse the I wishes of the troops will count largely on the decision, but from What can be gathered the mili-: tary men are practically a unit in favor of going to Jamestown. It i is estimated that the cost of a; Jamestown trip will be at least: twice that of encamping at Co- 1 lumbia, but from the way thej military people are figuring it if' the men are required to make up the difference out of their own . pockets they will have to pay; <?nly about -$5 extra which is i rather cheap for a trip to James- j town. A merchant that does not thoro ighly advertise-hia business is like the farmer who does not tttvroughl> prepare his land. ' " Nether ciuj ..ex'pect- much of a e *? a.* ' ' ' pr> - W T)m V MEN AND THINGS. A. LOCALMAN. i . Work makes men. Luck usually fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To succeed in anything; one must overcome obstacles. Force and fiber are built by hardships. Grit is as necessary in the making: of a man as gumption. Hardships ' ard not always handicaps. Often ! they are helps. You will under-1 stand this better in twenty years. Meanwhile permit one who has lived that twenty years and more to advise you in this. Hang onto your job until you are sure of i a better one. Dependable boys j are in demand. And no boy can be depended upon who does not; finish the task he sets hi3 hand to do. However disagreeable! our vork, do it thoroughly. Do j it better than the average boy! will do it. In that way you will come to be known as a dependa-1 ble boy. And mind you this: Men everywhere are looking for; capable, honest, gritty, dependa-: ble boys. The sooner you let people know that you are that j kind of a boy, the sooner you will get a better job. And don't do in a nurry to give up the work you already have. Be sure something better is offered. Wait awhile. Do your work well. Promotion will come. And do not envy the boy who has an easy time. You would much j better pity him. He has a good time now, but some day he must "make good." With his flabby muscles and his easy habits and his many want3, he stands a far poorer chance than you. Remember above all, young fellow, you arc- making a mar of yourself. In our town, these days, we see faces that are strangers to us, faces that are not familiar in our town. People from distant parts of our ffllintv {"mm tAumi! other localities, some near, some far,? drive in to inspect and ascertain personally the worth and reliability of the pledges that are ; made from time to time to the public, by means of extensive ] advertising, by poster notices, | and in the local papers. Generally those strangers are heavy buyers, and return home- j ward well satisfied witli the re-! Suits of their long trip. This is the finest, highest recommendation that can be given to our business men and should be the. source of their keenest pride and gratification. ' It proves that they have backed up their promises, and redeemed their pledges, and that they were able to, as they hoped, meet the ' expeetaions of those who respond i to their invitations, and took them at their word. It proves further that these messages to the public, in one j form or another,?newspaper ( "ads" and poster notices,?are brining them the hoped for re-1 suits, in the form of increased popularity, increased number of customers and increased business. 1 f if orv 4- V* i ?v n nut iivi, ? UJf LllfU those many stranger faces in our town these days??Why then the rush of business these days?? Why then do people travel so far, from, diseant localities, to- do business here? Here and there in localities are still to be found little miserly business men who have not yet learned the great lesson of business progression, but generally they lean against deserted counters and sooner or later go to the wall. Business progression these days ; is activity?expansion. The business man must speak to the people or they will not speak to him. He owes it to the people, and the people are entitled to know what he has to offer them; if he will not keep in touch with them, and keep enlightened regarding his business, they will reciprocate his slight. They will not keep in toucli with him and he does not deserve it. The new and just demand of the people, to be recognized bv the business man, and to be in-; formed "from time to time re-1 garding his activities, constitutes the most desirable, the most legitimate kind of advertising. It is directly in opposition to trick and wild-cat advertising, has the usefulness and brawn of sincerety?and finds stability in sound reason, in justice, arid in good business principle. The Military Inspection. I With forty-three men n line the Fort Mill Light Infantry, 1 Capt. T. B. Spratt commanding, j was inspected in the armory Monday evening at 8.30 by Assistant Adjutant and Inspector General Brook, of the State mi- | litia, and Lieutenant (Jabaniss, of . the United States army. A large number of citizens were present to witness the inspection. Both Gen. Brock and Lieut. Cabaniss made short addresses in which the company was highly cjmplimer.ted for its elficiency, attendance and general appearance, General Brock adding that physically the company as a whole was the best that he had found so far in his tour over the St ite. . j DANIEL H. CHAMBERLAIN DEAD. "Ex-Governer of the State Dies Aft Charlottesville, Va. Daniel H. Chamberlian, govern nor of South Carolina during the turbulent times immediately following the reconstruction era, died Saturday at Charlottesville, Va. He *.vas taken ill of cancer of the stomach last fall upon his return from a pleasure trip to Egypt Born in West Brookfield, Mass, . on June 23, 1835, Chamberlain | graduated from Yale in 1862 and J a year later from the Harvard law school. Entering the army as a lieutenant of a negro cavalry troop, he saw service in several States and at the end of hostilities was captain. He came to South Carolina in 1866 as a cotton planter, but soon gave his attention to nnlitina hninar o delegate to the State Constitutional convention in 1868 and becoming attorney general the same vear. Retiring from this office in 1872, he took up the practice of law at Columbia. In 1875 he wa3 elected governor by the; Republicans. | While governor. Chamberlain apparently tried to give an order- | ly government, bending his efforts to prevent corrupt practices i by officers. In 1875 ne refused I to issue commissions to two judges who had been elected by the legislature and who were condemned as corrupt and unfit for the Bench. This and other official acts won for him the regard of a few Democrats, and when the campaign of 1876 was i approaching a movement was ; promoted to have the whites support Chamberlain for governor, l believing tnal ne would try to I better conditions. This had the support of the moderates. But the convention decided upon a truly Democratic candidate, Gen| Wade Hamnton being chosen to bear the standard. Gen. Hampton was elected, but ChamberI lain refused to recognize his election, and with the aid of Federal bayonets held the State executive mansion. For a period there were two governments in the State, Hampton iieading one and Chamberlain the other. The whites paid their taxes and other money to the Hampton officers. Bloody clashes had occurred during 187G between whites and blades and on October 7, Chamburlain ordered the rifle clubs to disband. The Democratic committee answered this, denv ing that rifle clubs were employed to intimidate the negroes and inffuence the election. After the election the returning board, disregarding an order of the State supreme court whose au| thority it denied, declared the Republican ticket headed by I Chamberlain elected, throwing out the vote in Edgefield ana | Laurens counties on the* ground i of fraud and intimidation. Democratic members were refused admittance to the house and thereupon organized by themselves declaring Hampton governor and : proceeding to rerform legislative ! functions. With the inauguration of President Ilayes the Federal troops were withdrawn and Hampton was governor in fact as well as name. ! Later Chamberlain returned to South Carolina as receiver for I the South Carolina railroad. He I had a peculiar affection for this State and spent mucn of his I time in Columbia. He was a man of intellectual gifts, engaging i personality and amiable disposi| tion. A Killing in Edgefield. ? R. H. Ilolsonliack, well known ' throughout the State as the doorI keeper in the senate under Lieut. ! Gov. Jim Tillman, when the latter killed Editor Gonzales, and who testified to alleged threats the dead editor made against Tillman, was shot through the heart and instantly killed near Johnston, in Edgefield county, Sunday afternoon by George Thompson. There had been previous difficulty and when the two men met in the road the fight ensued. Roth men reached for weapon:', but Thompson seemed to oe quicker. HoisonbacK was killed with a magazine gun. | There were five eye-witnesses to the shooting. Thompson has been arrested. He is a single man, while his victim was married, i Richland to Vote on Prohibition. Petitions put in circulation a few days ago have for their purpose the securing for the voters of Richland county, of an oppor- ; tunity to determine Richland county's preference in matter of | dispensaries or no dispensaries, i under the Carey-Cothran law. If the requisite number of j cjUmarnrps are secured the elec-1 tion will lake place early in the fall. The petitions must be in the hands of the county supervisor by the first of May. An electric road will be built! soon from Bennettsville to Blenheim, a distance of eight and a half miles. Dr. Boyd of Columbia has sold a half interest in his famous ! educated horse "King Pharoah" i for $12,o00. \ N % si * . Trials of a Traveler. mm -. The4 'Swing" was tearing away at the wild and awe-inspiring rate of six miles an hour toward Charlotte; when, all of a sudden, it stopped all together. Most of the passengers didn't notice the difference; but one of them happened to be somewhat anxious to reach his destination before old age claimed him for its own. He put his head through the window to find that the cause of the stop was a cow on the line. After a while they continued the journey for half an hour or so, and then?another atop. "What's wrong now?" queried 1 the impatient passenger of the brakeman. "A cow on the line, sir." "But I thought you drove it off?" "So we did," said the brakeman, "but we've caught up to it again."?Rock Hill Record. Fifty Years a Convict. John Warren, convict in the State's prison at Wethersfield, Conn., will celebrate his "golden anniversary'' next December. His golden anniversary, forsooth! Golden anniversary of his incarceration in a penitentiary! Fifty years of life behind cold 1 barred walls! I This poor old man has spent a ! longer period in prison than any other living convict in the United States. When a newspaper man visited Wethersfield he found Warren, j old and grizzled, his stripes! covered with a coarse coat, at j work in the front prison pard? j at work that he calls hi3 greatest i pleasure. He was brushing the I snow from the flower beds to see j how the bulbs and plants had j fared from the winter frost. There will be joy in that old, i care wrinkled face when the first bud peeps out at John Warren. The old man does net talk readily. In a kindly tone, half halting, he spoke a few words to me about his long, weary years as a prisoner. "I do not have any sorrows I here," he said, "nor any joys, j , either, like the people outside. ' I Y J i- 1 ; i uoni nave any privations or ! any bad luck, and I am never | sick, so it is not so hard. "I feel differently than I did j when I came in here, and I know I shall be free before I die. The governor will pardon me, or j something will happen?I know j it. The keepers ask me where : the order will come from to set | me free, but I do not know anything about it except that I will be free. ' 'They say I am a good prisoner now, and I think I am, too. "The flowers in the garden I interest me very much. I love ! them. I have charge of all the ! garden here now. When I get I out I am going to earn my living as a gardener or florist, and I | have been studying botany for ; years. I don't know when this will be. but I am sure that it is coming." Warren is a "trusty," and has the freedom of the prison ; grounds. He was 21 when he came here in 1857. His extreme youth alone saved him from a death sentence, for in a fit of jealously he killed his girl-wife by holding her head under water in a brook until she was dead. Twice he tried to escape, and i uoui times was captured. lbe ; last time was 21 years ago. This winter his application for pardon went before the state board of pardons, but it was refused. What $1.50 Wffl Do. This paper, at quite an exj pense and a great deal of work, has arranged a club offer of sixteen well known papers and magazines, including the Fort Mill i Times, for only $1.50, to new subscribers and old ones who pay for The Times one year in adi vance. We do not make a cent out of this offer. In fact, we ! lose money, but by increasing our circulation, as we believe this unparalelled offer will aid us in doing, we can secure more advertising and also get a better ate for same. No paper evtr before made an offer that eqnals ours. Every paper goes to you for one full year. All are well 1 IrvtAiim 1 - * ixiiv/wii <11111 inn* e?un)iisneu ana | worth many times the price we ask. They are from the South, North, East and West. Their combined values, including The Times, is over $9.00. We are able to make this offer for only a i short time, and it wiil positively be withdrawn soon. If you want the best bargain offered you, order now. Do not wait, for you may hesitate too long. If you are already a subscriber to any or all of the papers in the club, your time will be extended one year from date of your order. Probably you do not care to have all the papers and magazines sent to your address. If not you can split the club and have them sent to any number of different addresses, or two or more parties can come in together and divide the club among themselves. On account of the limited time that we will be able to make this wonderful oiler, we will be unable to furnish sample copies to anyone. See offer in another column! Subscribe to The Tlmca.
