Boys, let ns commend to you the fol
lowing, which we find in an exchange:
“Whet kind uf a boy does a buslhet*
man want?" repeated a shrewd and
freetiral business man. ” Well, I will
kell you. In the first place be *ints a
boy who does nut know too much, buat-
ness men gonerally like to run tbelr
own business, and prefer some one
who u in listen to tUelr wgy, rather
than try to teach new kinds; secondly,
•Boy want a prompt boy—one who un
derstands seven o'clock as exactly at
•even, not ten minutes past; third, au
Industrious buy, who is not afraid to
pin in a little extra work in case of
weed; fourth, an honest hoy-honest In
bis eorvioe, s» well as In matters of dol
lars and oents; and fifth, a good na-
tered boy, who will keep his temper,
even if bis employer loses his own uow
~ and then.”
— “But yon haven't said a word about
bis being smart,” was suggested-
“Well, to tell the truth.” wan the
rather hesitating reply, •‘that’s about
the last thing to worry over. The
fact Is, If a boy is modest, prompt,
pleasant, Industrious and honest, he Is
about as smart as we care about gen
erally”—and that's a fact.
...... Be you see bow it is, boys; and per
haps some of you who sre not so bril
liant, may take courage and cultivate
those qualities which, shall make you
acceptable to business men, though you
rfiay never »>biue iu the world of let

to be obtained from the witnesses bound

ly road and of such widespread influ
ence, frequently condemns a Jury for
making an improper acquittal. Let us
look at the reasons as they concern the
plan pro|te«cd:
Whan a homicide occurs I* tha State
tha New*s and Tourier dispatches a
vbrewcl reporter, of oomprebenaiv** mind
and ready tact, to the ground He in
terviews tha witnesses and the people,
learns all the circumstances, makes up
a case—often one damanding convic
tion—which hr publishes. 'Presumably
the publUhed cave is the one tried and
here we are misled. Many of the wit-
neaaes aud much of the evidence pub
lished never reach the jury and the
State’s case, made up as I have inti
mated, Is met w ith all the force that the
friends of the accused and industtious
and astute counsel can oppose to It, the
usual doubt created, and an acquittal
reached, which perhaps never would
have been, had the w hole case been
fully and fairly developed. A 'verdict,
either from its righteousness or its force
snd effect, is of the greatest importance.
The Jury is one of the bulwarks of
our civilization, snd if the blame of an
unjust, injurious verdict lies, iu>t with
thvm, but in the nature of thing* upon
that‘policy which reservee from them
the whole truth, that fant should he
made apparent, so that censure or praise
might be given lo those who best de
serve it. Respectfully,
HuascKiaxa.

Th* query was “Origin and the ob

Editor Eroylr :
I’m Just burning to write ami tell you
something. Serais to me as if there’s
*01 ne things awful onesided in tld* here
world, and the way men takes credit
for what blong* to w om* n l* one of *m.
Now , sir, 1 don't like to .«wy it. but its
fact, truth; my Pap's as good a man a-
wears shoe leather, and I'll bit the hoy
that says he aim; hut 1h! Mr. Holmes,
he aim 110 way a to lie compared to Ma
when it comes to the pure, sure enough
good. Ta will swear, aud I've ke.tehcd
him takin* a driuk behind th* closet
door, hut I never ketehed Ma doin'
wrong yet, ami when she tells me s
thing I know its so, same a** if I see it.
Whale got me so agervated just now is
that convention they had to Allendale
last tycek. Me and I’a and Ma all went
in our spring wagon and carried little
Jim and Julia, our ten year old twins
along. Well, sir, Mr. Holmes, you see
Pa is Superintendent of our Hunday
school, but he ain’t never there hardly,
and when bn is absent Ma she just goes
right on and has prayers h* rsel f and
reads the Bible and hears the lessons.
Now you'd a spoacd that at thatSumltiy
School Convention some notice would
have been look of Ma’a w ork—wouldn't
you? Well, no, slrree, there wasn’t a
God blessed w ord said (uot In my hear
ing) of w hat any woman was doing in
Hunday sch«*ol, execptl»\_ihat "big
gsn” from Savannah. Mr. Hap—(1
forget his name) tired off one little vol
ley for"G**d and hgme and native land.”
But you ought just to have seen Pa
splurge around in that convention,
"taking up the question,'’ they call it,
and telling about "what a nourishing
school he had,” aud goodnes* know s it
would havo been dead as a door nail if
Ma hadn’t went and run it on all them
many Sundays when Pa waa "gone to
union meetings,” and w hen he w as "ri
ding over tha fields seeing how the crop
was coming on and then stopping at old
man Jones’s to talktq>olitlci." I beard
’em report two or three school* with
"female Superintendents,*’ but not one
of them tallies had a say so in the con
vention!!! Mra. Chapin say* "ourgirls
is all handicap|>ed,” ami by George,
Mr. Editor, I think the women isaa well
as the girls. One thing certain I will
tpaak up for my Ma. Yours,
Johnnie Peters.
