THURSDAY. JANUARY 23. 1913.
The gTeat aim of the mass of
mankind is to get enough money
ahead to make him "comfortable"
and yet a moment's reflection
will convince us that
money will never purchase comfort,
only the means of it. A
man may be "comfortable" without
a dollar. We are not guess
ing at this but know from actual
experience. But to be so, one
must have the right disposition,
that is a heart and head in the
right place. There are some
persons who are lively and cheerful,
and good natured, kind and
forbearing in a state of poverty
which leans upon the toil of
today for tonight's supper and
the morning's breakfast. Such
a diapo i i m would exhibit the
same loving qualities in a palace
or on a throne. Every day we
meet persons, who, in their
families are cross and ill-natured,
dissatisfied, finding fault with
everybody and everything, whose
first greeting in the breakfast

The old year glided away
smoothly, day succeeding da),
month following month, and m
abrupt endings that we hardl\
noticed the passage of the hours.
Winter melted into spring, sprint
lingered a while with her biru.
and tiowers, then warmed int.
summer. Summer fruits ripened
and dropped into autumn't
lap, and autumn, amid a showei
of falling leaves moved on toward
winter again. The old
year ends promptly at the midnight
hour and goes out in
solemn darkness and again the
circle is complete. If the old
, year had its hours of
row, it had its times of holy joy.
Many of the dear old friends
live only in the memory but we
have hosts of new ones. The
true-hearted meet the new year
with a hope and a prayer that in
its day they may "rise on stepping
stones" of their dead selves
to better things.
One man in a hundred reads a
book; ninety-nine in a hundred
read a newspaper. Nearly a
century ago, when the American
press, which is now a spreading
oak, was in its green twig,
Thomas Jefferson said he would
rather live in a country with
newspapers and without government
than in a country with a
government and without newspapers.
At the beginning of
1913 resolve to at least say a
good word for your home paper.
It is a well known fact that
the most severe critics of the
public schools and the churches
are the people who have never
taken the trouble to enter the
doors of the institutions that
uiey criticise. They stand outside
and bark instead of entering:
and learning for themselves
the tr.th about matters. It is
far easier to set up a hue and cry
than to make a thorough investigation.

Mrs. Wilson, wife of the
president-elect, is said to have
the happy knack of making an
unattractive garden 'T*to B
of beauty. In fact, those who
have seen what she did with the
Princeton garden -conclude that
she has quite a talent for landscape
gardening and could have
made her living in that way if
the fates had not ordained that
she would be the first lady in
the land.
If the man who takes up $he
whole seat in the car while solmebody
else stands, will try the
plan of sharing his seat with
someone else, he will be surprised
to find how much more comfortable
his seat will become.
Don't expect your advertisement
to bring fruit in one night,
like the prophet's gourd. Advertising
will take effect, but it
takes time to bring about its
good effects.
"Compulsory Education."
Editor The Times:
Referring to your editorial in
your issue of the 16th inst., headed
"Compulsory Education," I
would like to make a few comments
on same, if you will allow
me a little of your valuable space.
I, too, am against compulsory
education when it compels a
negro child to enter school at
the expense of the white taxpayer
and I am also against the
present plan of negro education
since the majority of money
spent on negro education in this
State comes out of the white
man's pocket.
My idea of negro education is
this: If 25 per cent, of the tax
collected in this State goes to
education, this amount should be
prorated between the colors, for
instance, 25 per cent, of the tax
paid by white people should be
us^il for education of the white
child and 25 per cent, of the tax
paid by negroes should be used
for education of the negro child,
. nd when this is done give us
compulsory education.

Perhaps tiie most dangerous
places for accidents are near the
curves. The person walking on
the track feels sure that he will

train in sufficient time to leave
the track, but owing to the high
j speed of the train the noise does
not project far along the track
in front ol it, but is chiefly directed
away^lrom the train to
the side and the person may not
think it is near until he sees it
nearly upon him. Another caution
pointed out is that noise usually
travels in straight lines and
1 therefore at a curve on the inside
ol" which is high ground and
on the outside a broad plain, a
person will hardly hear the approaching
train until it has
j passed the curve.
For Unlawfully Storing Whiskey.
j Rosena Johnston, negro proprietress
of a hotel on Academy
street, was convicted before city
council Friday on the charge of
storing whiskey for unlawful '
purposes and was sentenced to 1
pay a fine of $100 or go to jail
for 30 days. Rosena at once,
furnished bond in the sum of"
$200, pending an appeal to the
circuit court, and was released.
George Washington White, who
allowed the Johnston woman the
privilege of ordering the whiskey,
two gallons, in his name,
was fined $100 or 30 days, and
George went to the gang.

"I want to thank you from the bottom
of my heart/' wrote C. B. Rader?
of Lcwtsnurg, W. Va^ "for the wonderful
double benefit I got from Electric
Bitters* in curiae me of both a
severe case of stomach trouble and of
rheumatism, from which I had been an
almost helpless Bufferer for ten years.
ii suiieu my case as tnough made just
for me." For dyspepsia, indigestion,
jaundice, and to rid the system of kidney
poisons that cause rheumatism,
Electric Bitters have no equal. Try
them. Every bottle is guaranteed to
satisfy. Only 60 cents at Ardrey's
