There is no use denying it, a man who tries to do his best in the stem bottles of life has his hands full, even when the conditions are favor able. But it does not require so very' much manhood to keep steadily press ing on under such conditions. The sunshine and flowers and singing birds and green fields make it easy for a man to sing as he carries the load. But when the dreary days come, when the birds cease thier and the clouds hang low ♦abo* course of a high order to pass on with the burden that each mo ment grows heavier. And there are a great many dark, dreary days! What a history is being written in human lives each day! That man you met today seemed hardly willing to speak to you kindly, "Good Morning!” He had a f loud upon his face and his lips were drawn down closely together. Do not judge him harshly. You know nothing of his heavy burden. There may be a sick wife or child at home; there may be business losses of which you never dreamed; some good true friend may have passed aw'ay. The shadows are falling across his path- way, although you do not see them. He is going forth in the stem strength of a high resolve, perhaps, and but for just this high-souled courage would long since have sat down by the wayside to perish. Let us remember that it does not take much of a man to be brave when no danger is nigh. After all, the bravest man is that one who bends his back to the load and patiently, silently, steadily plods on through the shad* ows and into the approaching night —Union Times. daughter, Mrs. Laurence Messervy, of Charleston, Mrs. Grimes, of Meggett, was up to see her father, Mr. Martin Wed- nesday.

Owing to the lateness of our iswie, we are enabled to give information of the death of Rev. E. E. Bellinger which occurred at his late residence, 15 70 Wednesday evening at o’clock. , Rev.

Bellinger has been deprived of sight and almost totally deaf, yet he has “borne hi* sufferings patiently, having his wartta faithfully ministered to by his daugh ters, with a devotion seldom excelled. He is survived by Prof. E. Bohua Bellinger and Mrr. M. A. Gregory, Miases Lottie Bellinger and Emily P. Bellinger. His deceased childrea were W.. F. Bellinger, George R. Bellinger, Mrs John 0. warren and two younger childrea The funeral services will be held Friday morning at 11, o’clock at SV Judes church, conducted by Rev. T. P. Baker, after whch interment wil be at Live Oak Cemetery. Rev. Bellinger was for 45 yean actively engaged in ministerial work Ten years ago he was forced to give it up on account of physical infir maries. Since that time he has nevr- .helcss done considerable ministerial work. A good and well loved maa has gone to his reward.
