THE WORLD'S MOTHERS The strength of a nation lies in its mothers. The Spartans recognized this, and trained their girls to be brave, to endure hardships, to be self-sacrificing and pure, and their sons were sent out into life strong, vigorous, chivalrous atid fearless. Behind every invention', heroic deed, poem or story stands a great soul, and back of this creat ness is the mother who formed the character and was the inspiration and power. The greatest place in the world is not in kings' palaces or in beautiful temples or where the laws of the nation are made, but, as N. McGee Waters beautifully says, "It is in the homes of the people, where by night and day, women tend little children and train them. "Unconsciously we uncover our heads when we meet a mother with her little child. She may be young, like Mary; she may be Eoor, like Nancy Hanks; she may e inexperienced, like Mary Ball; but she has power to work mysteries and perform miracles. "In sickness and in health, in toil and in ease, at home and abroad, she lives for the life that is grafted upon her own, scornful of pity, conceivingof no higher honor than by and by to lean upon the arm which has been i made strong by her strength, and ! to trust to the heart which has been made pure and true by her own purity and fidelity. "So she lives her life. 'Drudgery,' silly people call it, but imto her who is wise it is a holy mystery. "So she lives her life. 'In a prison house,' unknowing ones ma V SflV' hut nnfn linr luVinon j M.IW nvi *??iuoc eyes have been opened to see mysteries, and far into the future, it is a queen's domain. "And then one day, when the world may have forgotten her work, because it seems so commonplace, she stands up and puts judges and statesmen, and inventors, and poets, to shame, for she has done what they cannot do. She has given a man unto the world, to rule it, or a woman unto the world to mother it in its sorrow. Her work is beyond praise. Her ministry is above ordination. Only Christ can compare with it." Learn to Laugh. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn how to tell a story. A well told story is a welcome sunbeam in a sick room. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world, keep the bad to \rAni*enlf T aamm t^ K T J ~ uv*(i[ii n.? uiiitf your pains and aches under pleasant smiles. No one cares whether , you have the earache, headache, or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough in novels but are out of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. A good humored man or woman is always welcome, hut the dyspeptic is not wanted anywhere and is a nuisance as well. Above all, give pleasure. Lose no chance of giving pleasure. You will pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that you can show to any human being, you had better do now; do not defer or neglect it, for you will not pass this way again. +. ? Boost Your Business. If there is a chance to boom business, boom it. Don't put on a long face and look as though you had a stomachache. Hold up your head, smile and look for better things. Hide your little hammer, and try to speak well of others, no matter how small you may know yourself to be. T. W. DIXON T. J.

The dynamite corn crop, which was cultivated on Spartanburg county land ploughed by the use of this powerful explosive, has been measured, but the owner has refused to give out the amount of corn that was pro- ! duced. This crop is to be entered in ft-Vts* i. _i_ - tuc ocvciai cuuiesis at trie ounce I fair. What J. H. Caldwell, the i originator of the idea, intends to 1 do with it is a profound secret, L and every one in the city is won-! dering how much corn was gathered. Neither of the men i who weighed the corn would say j how much there was. However, i it has leaked out among the neighboring farmers that if the , first four rows of the corn could j be taken as an average that there would be a total of 89 and a fraction bushels on the place. The corn raised on the land ploughed in the new manner is 33 per cent. ; better than that cultivated on ad- : joining land, which was ploughed in the old-fashioned way, but; which otherwise was cultivated in the same manner. There is said to be much disappointment in the fact that the crop was not larger than is reported. Death of Mr. Stacy Howie. Mr. E. S. Howie, a prominent; and well known citizen of the Belair community, died at his home last Friday morning about 3 o'clock, says the Waxhaw Enterprise. Mr. Howie had been in feeble health and under constant treatment of a physician for several months past, but his condition was not critical until just a few hours before his death. He was sixty-five years old the day before he died and had prepared to celebrate his birthday with a number of his relatives and friends, but early that morning he was stricken with paralysis and died in less than 24 hours.
