n. l 4? .......??? ?-If
one can believe all tht y read 1
in the sensational daily papers, j
it is quite sure that nearly all,
the world's people are scrapping
or getting ready to light, no two j
factions or clans seem to agree, [
' but it is quite likely most oI the j
reports are wholly made of wind, j
Don't teach your children that j
it is a shame to wear worn and
patched clothes if you are not
able to afford better, but that it j
is no honor in wearing new ones j
that are not paid for. 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. '

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.

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,

the securing for the voters
of Richland county, of an oppor- ;

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.

. 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 - *

| 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.
