\
The legislature is trying to reduce
the rate of legal advertisements. Why
not abolish legal advertising alto
gether? It would suit tnis newspaper
all right.
Our congratulations to Editor Jas.
L. Sims, of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat, on his successfully
landing the position of United States
Marshal. He is a good man. and
will till the position with credit.
The general assembly has passed a
bill providing for the publication of
financial reports by the supervisor of
this county. This is a good bill, as
the tax payers should know how and
for what their money is being spent.
^ We have been asking for such a
law for years, and we are glad our
representatives have seen the wisdom
of it.
If the rate on legal advertising is
reduced, as the general assembly is
trying to do, we fancy few newspapers
will accept it. They should not
do so, and if tne Dili passes we trust
every newspaper in the State will
decline the advertising. The newspapers
have stood long with hat in
hand and accepted what the politi-i
cians handed out. If they would assert
their independence they would
get along better. The present rate
is none too high. Much of this ad- j
vertising is carried for years before
; settlement is made, and much of it is i
never paid for at all. We have lost
more money on official advertising
since we have been in charge of this
newspaper^than we have on commercial
advertising.
Married at Union.
Union, S. C., Feb. 5.?Owing to
the popularity of the couple and the
prominence of the families which
they represent, the marriage of Miss
Don Ella Rice to Mr. Charles H.
Milhous centers more than usual in
terest.
The ceremony was performed at
the home of Rev. Lewis M. Rice;
where the bride has made her home
for the past two years, and was witnessed
by the immediate family. Tin-;
words which united these two lives
were spoken by Rev. Lewis M. Rice,
- a close relative of the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Millions left immediately
after the ceremony for a
bridal trip through Florida.
The house was decorated with
Killarney roses and ferns, and reflected
the individual taste of the
bride.
Mrs. Miliious is the daughter of
the late Dr. W. D. Rice, for many
years one of the leading Baptist
ministers of the State and for several
years president of the Baptist
State Convention. She has the heritage
of men and women long promi- j
nent in social and educational lines
in South Carolina. Mrs. Milhous is
a graduate of Greenville Female Col
lege, and is an arnst or exceptional
ability^
Mr. Milhous, since coming to Union
two years ago, has rapidly made a
place for himself in the social and
business world, and congratulations
are being showered upon him.
The bride's going away gown was
of dark blue brocade, worn with chiffon
brouse and close fitting blue hat
trimmed in fur. She carried an exquisite
bouquet of bride roses,
showered with valley lilies.
After the wedding journey Mr. and
Mrs. Milhous will be "at home" to
their friends at the Tinsley cottage
on South street.

TIRED OF HIMSELF
Reflections Upon the Suicide of f
Traveling Man by Omaha News.
% A certain traveling salesman blew
his brains out at Evansville, Ind. He
was just "tired of the game."
He was 4 5 years old and a bachelor.
He was a high liver. He hac
traveled extensively and knew people
and customs, history and points o:
interest and was still traveling.
Tired of the game? Why he wasn't
in the game at all! Living for oneself,
enjoying oneself wandering
about by oneself isn't the game. Forty-five
years old, and only himself tc
work for, do for, live for! Xo won
der he was tired, but that is no more
being in the game than buying a bag
of peanuts at the tent entrance i:
seing the circus.
The game is doing things for others,
not caring for self only. Th<
game is having a home, not a chaii
in some club room.
The poor devil was simply looking
at the game. He was merely peep
ing over the shoulders of players a
the chess board of life, without knowing
what a "pawn" could do to i
"king." or a "castle" to a "knight,'
without having a cent or a diear
throb of his own at stake.
Tired? Of course he was tired
He was tired because he was out o:
the game. The egotist is father oi
the misanthrope. The ripened fruh
of satiety is ennui. He whose sol*
care is self must be a loser, finally
it is the law of the game of life
"It is not well that man should liv<
alone." Yes, for man to live aions
for himself within himself, is fatal

BUT FEW ARE KILLED.
Some Interesting Statistics As t(
Fatality of American Trains.
Railway travel in the United States
is not so dangerous to life as th(
frequent disasters on the New Waver
and other roads might lead us to believe.
The number of passenger?
killed annually shrinks into insignificance
by comparison with the number
who are carried over the roads ir
safety.
A New York mathematician esti
mates the average length of a railway
journey in the United States as 3-1
miles. The record of fatal accidents
shows that on the average 2, 275,421
such journeys are taken in safety tc
each one which results in killing i
passenger.
If a man were to start riding oul
these 2,275,122 safe journeys at the'
rate of two per day for each busi
ness day in the year, it would take
him 3,792 years to complete thi*
amount of railroad travel. To have
begun riding so that he would meei
his death in a railroad accident during
the present year he would have
had to begin his trips more than 1,800
years before the Christian era.
As fatal railroad accidents are fewI
er in England, Germany and othei
countries than here, the showing becomes
all the more favorable to the
safety of railroad travel when the
whole world is taken into consideration,
rather than the United States
alone.
A Wife's Belief in Her Husband.
Ida .\i. Tarbell gives a thrilling description
of the work of the court ol
domestic relations in Chicago?a
court which settles dispute between
husbands and wives. Following is a
story of a wife-beating case that Miss
Tarbell saw settled:
'"In a touching case a woman of 50,
gentle, hard-working and respectable,
had served a warrant on her husband
for beating her. They had no children:
he never drank. He worked
regularly, and regularly 'beat her ffp.
'She wasn't apologetically, and 'slit
couldn't stand it.' The judge looked
at the big. bent, surly-faced fellow
attd broke out in wrath. 'You've got
to go to the Bridewell, that's the
| place for you, a man who will beat
a woman like that!?all worn out
j and a good wife, anybody can see
j that. You'll go to the Bridewell fo:
a year.'
"The man looked up in real alarm
?'But what will she do, Judge? We
ain't got much ahead. She ain't gol
anybody but me. How'll she live';
His concern for her was perfectl}
since. 'She's nobody but you, anc
you beat her,' exploded the judge
The man seemed like one wakened
from a stupor. 'I'll never do it again
on my honor I won't. I didn't know
she was sick; I didn't realize. Things
got so hard?nothing but slave, anc
1 just got into the habit, guess I toot
it out on her. I'll never strike hei
again in this world.'
"The woman behind mm, win:
the tears streaming down her face
said: 'He won't, judge. Don't senc
him away. He won't beat me if h<
says he won't. He has had it hard.
"Well they went off happy and 1
lor one. do not doubt his keeping hi<
word."?The American Magazine.
J RETAIL MERCHANT.
i: Diligent Attention Necessary to Stop ffi
Leaks. (Hi
j The waste to be found about a re- II
i j tail store is scary in any case, but II
when it comes to the careless proprie- |||
- tor, he is simply not in it at the end II
I of the year when he makes his in- II
i ventory to find whether he has made
f or lost money. |
When I was on the road, among I
t my customers was a country mer- II
- chant in Tennessee. He was as close
; as the bark to a tree. Every time II
- an article was weighed or a piece of ji
> cloth measured by himself or one of ||
- his clerks, he invariably turned his
? eye in that direction to see that there
: was no waste. He would take out
3 grains of coffee until he got the even
balance on his scales. That merchant
- made some little money, and retired.
; He once told me this story:
r "My experience of 20 years of business
teaches me, and I figured it out
; erv closely many times, that after
- a retail merchant uses every possible
t protection to stop leaks 'about his
- store, he may safely count on 10 per |
i cent of the cost of his goods going I
' off in some way?he will never know II
t how."
Now, if that very close merchant, I
. with all of his scrutiny, found that I
f he must sustain a loss of 10 per cent. I
f what will the loss in wastage be of I
t the average dealer? What will be I
j the loss to the careless proprietor?
Negro Race Conference.
/
The sixth annual session of the
' negro race conference, or what.might
' be called conference for common
1 good, of which Richard Carroll is
" president, meets in Columbia, Feb1

1 to the night of the 20th. Able speakers
from both races are on the proTT.

sioner of agriculture for South Caro^
Una, and J. W, Thomas will address
the farmers. J. LaBruce Ward, M.

Reduced rates, on account of the
' meeting of the great Lutheran con'
ference of the Southern States, which
1 takes place in Columbia the same
week, will also be granted to pers
sons desiring to attend the race conference.
Dr. B. F. Riley, of Birmingham,
Ala., one of the most prom1
inent white preachers in the South,
is to be present and speak on the relation
of the white people of the
South to the negro. This conference
^ is usually largely attended, and is ^
5 helpful to the colored people.
) He Understood.
In London they tell of a certain
I distinguished statesman who is an op- I
i timist on all points save marriage. !
oftemnnn this statesman was lit
? proceeding along a country road when IP
. he saw a cottager eating his supper IB
> alone in the road before his dwelling.
"Why, Henry," asked the states- [I
. man, "why are you eating out here IB
, alone?" IB
"Well, sir, er?" the man stam- Al
mered, "the?er?chimney smokes." M
"That's too bad," said the states- IV
. man, his philanthropic sentiment at IB
. once being aroused. "I'll have it fixed |V
, for you. Let's have a look at it." _ M|
; And before the cottager could stay ^
. him the statesman proceeded to en-? B
; ter the cottage. As soon as he had Wi
opened the door a broomstick fell fifl
upon his shoulders and h woman's LJ
voice shrieked: IB
"Back here again, are you, you old B*
| rascal! Clear out with you, or I'll?" B
Tile statesman reureu precipitate- vi
. ly. The cottager sat in the road Wm
l shaking his head in sqrrow and em- Iff
barrassment. The statesman bent Iff
; over him, and laid his hand in kindly iff
fashion on his arm. M

acute that I could not sit down with:
