Some one has said that the man or
wmau tyru in South Carolina i# thank
ful to Providence for an especial favor
-that they <<>usider themselves just a
little more blessed than the rest of
nan-kind, and if that blessing has been
utcu.led s.. far as having Camden or
Kershaw County as a place of nativity,
then indeed they are subjects for con
gratulatioiks and return profound thanks
'for having their lines east in pleasant
place*. Carolina, the land of song and
story : the land of romance and chivalry ;
the limne of culture and refinement.
Carolina. the beautiful with Its verdent
uws fanned by the soft breeres from
fb? South, nnd its carpets of emerald
jrreu dotted with everblooming flowers.
Carolina whose air breathes patriotism
ind is' redolent with memories that never
ilic. And. Kershaw is one of the proud
r>t counties in this grand old State.
| No wonder we esteem it a privilege and
toast it as a glorious heritage to claim
it as a birthplace. But listen, men
?ml women of Kershaw County, do you
how that there is a blot upon the fair
landscape 1).. you know that tho cloud

uia the days gone by as it loomed up
'*n the distant horixon, has grown to

that the census of 11)10 gave Kershaw
County 0.122 illiterates ? by illiterates

Mr. L. J. Brown, a former citizen of

has been working for a large lumber
company in the Alabama town, but his
work being Completed there, he move?
this week to Live Oak, Fla., where the
compa'ny has extensive timber lauds aud
will be there for Hie next few years.
Mr. Hrown was in the h^art of the boll
weevil territory and he says that it ap
pears to him that the weevil proved
to the a blessing in disguise to the
fanners of that section. They were
caught wholly ? unprepared for the ad
vent. of the in<*eot, and he says many
of the large farmers as well as num
erous smaller ones were bankrupted. They
quickly recuperated by diversifying their,
crops, and raising cattle and hogs, and
today many farmers who formerly had
their farms encumbered now have auto
mobiles and splendid bank accounts and
are the most prosperous people of the
South. He tells us that he finds the
people of this section do not take the
1m 1 1 1 weevil seriously, just as they did
in Alabama, and will be. caught wholly
unprepared unless they begin to improve
their cattle and hogs and plant' crops
other than cotton. ?
ALL HUMANITY MUCH . ALIKE
Only in Early Life Doea the Average
Man Imagine He la Different
From Others.
One of the great discoveries that
come to us as we advance in life is the
fact that deep - flown In the human
heart all men are alike. In early life
.we think we are different from the
rest of thQ. world, but as years go by
we find that this is not so, thnt other
men huve the same hopes and aspira
tions, the same troubles and anxieties,
the same yearnings after happiness
and peace. We learn this from our
friends, from those who tell us their
troubles and ask for sympathy and ad
vLce. Then we learn it from books ;
from the works of great poets and
writers, and especially from blogru
phies and autobiographies*.
As a child I was sensitive and shy,
and felt that I was peculiar in this re
spect, and different from the others,
who always seemed to take themselves
for granted. And yet I have discov
ered that this Is the universal lot of
all men. O. Stanley Hall speaks of
a "newly revealed and grave danger
that works countless tragedies In life ?
that the child's feelings of Inferiority
should become dominant and make hlrn
feel in his earliest years that he Is
condemned to a low level of existence,
without respect, appreciation, admira
tion or love." Thus the chronic teaser
or hector may do great mischief to the
tender soul of the child. The child la
always asking himself subconsciously,
"Do I look worse or better than
others?"
This tendency lasts with most men
all their lives. We are all the time
comparing our lot with that of others.
As Emerson says: "Every ship looks
romantic except the one we are on ;"
and again, "Every man's life seems to
him covered with the slime of failure
and defeat, while that of others seems
ideal." It Is a great help to know that
men are alike in this respect. I could
give a long list of well-known men and
w^men who suffered from this sense of
Inferiority, Incapacity and defeat, fol
lowed by 'moods of gloom a'nd melan
choly?men like Tennyson, Rnskin,
Lowell, Symonds, John Stuart lflll,
and, In oar own day, Rndyard Kipling,
Richard Harding Davis and otharfe?

the D. .8, i\ aud the Croix De Guerre:
"I was in five major battles, Can
tlgoy, Soissons, the A rgonno, St. Mihiel,
and the Hoowa In -each of these I
was wounded, and the wears kept pil
ing up until they numbered 68. While
pushing through tlve Argowne I picked
up scvi'n machine gun bullets, three of
which I still carry lu any, body. I kl<
ways will carry thnn. too, if 1 have
anything to say about it, for I've been
operated ujkmi enough. My left leg,
which will always be crippled, was punc
tured 12 times from the kuee to the
hip by <nachine guns. Three wipers
found mt' at different times, and the
Huiih cut me with their bayonets. One)
knife blow, by the way paralysed my
left thumb.
, "After my third barttle, and niy third

ing ?ne for that purpose, but T fooled
them. M|y wounds had not healed much,
but I didn't like the idea of coming]
'home while the fighting was* still go'ng
on, ?o I bade the hospital farewell when
no one was looking and joined my'e'.d
company, I had to do the same thing
after the next batJtle too. When I had
been sent there the fifth time, however,
my log was useless. But the fighting !
wat- just about over, anyhow, so I didn't
care. V
"I- started gathering German steel
on May 28, last year. The French had j
?been trying to take this place for months.
;iud we heard they had lost 14 regi

were ever in there after the Germans
first arrived wat? seven minutes. The
Americans walked into the 'town 34
minutes after the attack started. Wo
withstood nine counterattacks before 5
o'clock that night, when we were re
lieved by /part of the 2flth Infant^. I
was wounded at 3 o'clock that after
noon. but I had seen^all the officers ofj
the company drop before that, so Is
knew it was up to me to assume com- ]
