Life With an Inspiration.
Stick to your dream, boy. Let
nothing swerve you from the
path that leads upward toward
the fulfillment of your life's ambition.
You will meet with difficulties
and discouragements, but when
you do, just think of the man'
HerreshofT, the boat builder, who
died the other day up in Rhode
Island. In his life you ought to
find inspiration enough to lift
you over any obstacle.
A writer in one of our exchanges
says that when John B.
r. lw.w klo
net i conuii >"v ao a uuj 1110 ciiiiui~
tion was to design and build the
fastest boats in the world. Hebecame
blind when yet a boy.
That would have discouraged any
ordinary boy, for how could a
blind man design a model that
he could not see? But HerresholT
was no ordinary boy. He
stuck to his dream. The heavy
handicap of blindness only made
him press on all the harder.
The blind boy sat in eternal
darkness and whittled out hio
boat models. * Gradually there
developed in his fingers a muscle
sense that was worth more to
him than eyesight wou'.d have
been. Slipping the model of a
boat through his hands he could
tell how it should be shaped to;
slip through the water with the
least resistance. Other designers
figured out their models
by complex mathematical calculations.
But the blind boy l'elt
with his sensitive lingers, and
his models were the best, for
when he was twenty-four years
old he built the fastest yacht the
world has ever known and,
while he could not see the boai
go, he felt the dash and plunge
and swiftness of it, and he wejft
when they told him his boat had
won the race.
The fame of the blind designer
of fast boats spread
round the world and England,
Russia and Italy gave him contracts
for their fastest torpedo
boats. Me died a few days ago,
a wealthy man and, better than
that, a successful man, for he
had stuck to his boyhood's
dream and achieved it fully.
If Prohibition Loses
Have you thought of this?
Suppose prohibition in your
county should lose by one vote
vour vote.
Heretofore prohibition has not
been a national issue. Unless
all signs fail it will be a icading
issue in the next presidential
campaign.
You say, Mr. Confident Citi-il
zen, that the liquor traffic is no
curse to you and that your
family is not suffering' fron? its
evil effects. Perhaps so, but
what about that little boy, your
hope of the future? Now is the
time to put liquor out of his
reach.
Have you noticed the great
increase in whiskey advertisements
in the last few months?
Let us hope that this is a sign
that the liquor business is falling
Yes, you are your brother's
keeper, especially if he is the
weak brother.
How we wish for "Votes for
: Women" until after September
14.?Southern Christian Advocate.
Citizens of Fort Mill are to be
congratulated upon rejecting
* the recent proposition to put a
chautauqua here, if we are to
judge by the experiences of the :
citizens of nearby towns with
these traveling shews. Accordto
the newspapers, Mt. Holly,
N. C., men were called upon a
few days ago for something like
$13 each to make up the shortage
in receipts of the chautauqua in
that town, while over at Gastonia
a few days later the j
guarantors were compelled to
hand over<jto the chautauqua people
$22.r>o each to make up the j
losses. VYre don't imagine that
Fort Mill will have a chautauqua

come on its own hook.
There is a habit and a delusion
among; a number of our town
people to go to some nearby city
or town to shop, believing that
they can buy cheaper. Coming
to think of it. these good people I
may be buncoed by their own
thoughts. Please, reckon your
carfare and time, if tin* latter is
worth anything. If our town
merchants try to soak you or
have not what you want of,
course you are justified to go
elsewhere. Hut first find out'
by getting prices and see wi at
your home merchants have.
This newspaper's advertisers
are your friends and they want i
you to know it. They are trying |
to helj) you in buying the best
material at the very lowest price.
That is the way they advertise
and they are all honest and
truthful men. By patronizing
them you cannot lose, but instead
our paper and our community
will be helped.
While ten men watch fori
chances, one man makes a |
chance. While ten men wait
for something to turn up, one
turns something up; so while ten
fail one succeeds and is called a
man of luck, the favorite of fortune.
Luck and fortune is the
result of honest endeavor, work
and toil and if you would succeed,
go to work.
The workingman who hands
his wages to his wife every Saturday
and receives ten cents and
a kiss in return, has more real
enjoyment than the man who
spends his whole pay on Saturday
night and hands his abused
and half-starved wife mi ninntu

Woman's character has been
likened to a postage stamp one
black mark ruins it. Man's character,
like a treasury note, no
matter how many stains, it still
passes at par. This double standard
established by society is not
just, but is recognized the civilized
world over.
Blease for Local Option.
Former Governor Cole L.
lilease is out in an interview
favoring local option and aurninat
State-wide prohibition, says a
Columbia despatch.
Mr. Blease contends that if
State-wide prohibition is voted
the liquor question will become
the leading issue of State campaigns
for years to come. He
also asserts he knows personally
"of some of the most open socalled
blind tigers in the State
who are going to work side by
side with preachers for prohibition,"
and states further:
"I have had several negroes to
tell me that they are going to
vote for prohibition because they
believed by it they could finally
get back to the bar room system."

of $1,000 for this
purpose, this sum to he supplemented
by $1,000 from the.
State Department of Education,
says the Charlotte Observer.'
Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State superintendent,
met with th" board
Monday and advised tha. this
be done. He practicahy endowed
the equipment witn the
exception of the fact that one
dormitory has not yet been supplied.
The contract for this,
however, is about to he let. A

before the hoard and
urged the appropriating of
$1,500. The compromise motion
to appropriate $1,000 carried by
a majority of one. The Pinoville
High School is already open.
An expert from A. and M. College
will be consulted as to the
farm life department.
