The following is from the pen of
that knightly gentleman and ripe
Bcholur, Col. Jas. T. Bacon, Editor
of the Edgelleld Chronicle. Every
young man und young woman should
read it:
Doar Sunday News: At the very

Rutledge McGhee, on account of

graceful Apollo of the Mount. Archie

McDowell, on account of your
tender youth and your white skin,
you shall be the blind Rod Cupid. Estella
Smoak, remember that you
sprang from the brain of Jove, and do
not forget your heavenly birth and
the "compulsory education" of the
.. lesser little gods.
Now draw near, in a line, and hear
the words of wisdom from old Sa^
turn; or from an older deity still, if
there was any such:
To the young men and young women
annually making their entrance
upon active life, with great ambitions,
conscious capacties and high
. hopes, the prospect is, in ninety-nine
cases in a hundred, most perplexing.
They see every avenue to prosperity
thronged with their superiors, in experience,
in social advantages, and
in the posession of all the elements
and condition of success. Every of^
flee is filled, every path crowded.
Where shall they find room? It is
related of Mr. Webster that when a
young lawyer suggested to him that
the profession to which he ahd
devoted himself was overcrowded.
the great man replied: "Young man,
there is always room enough at the
top." Never was a wiser or more
suggestive word said. There undoubtedly
is always room where
excellence lives. Mr. Webster wis
not troubled for lack of room. Mr.
Clay and Mr. Calhoun were neve*
crowded. Mr. Evarts, Mr. Cushing.
and Mr. O'Connor had plenty of space
around them. Mr. Becker, Dr.
Storrs, Dr. Hall, Bishop Phillips
Brooks never knew, in their personal
experience, that it was hard to obtain
a desirable ministerial charce. The
profession was not crowded where
they were. Dr. Brown-Sequard, Dr.
Willard Parker, Dr. Hammond were
not troubled for space for their elbows.
Henry Watterson, and John
Temple Graves, and James Calvin
Hemphill, and Tom Waring, and Win.
E. Gonzales, and James A. Hoyt, and
August Kohn have room to kick and
splash in. When Nelaton died in
Paris, he died like Moses on a mountain.
When Von Graefe died in Berlin,
he had no neighbor at his altitude.
It is well first, that all young men
remember that nothing will do tnem
po much Injury as quick and easy
success, and that nothing will do
thorn so much good as a struggle
which teaches them exactly what
there is In them, educates them gradually
to Its use, instructs them In
v personal economy, drills them into a
' patient and persistent habit of work,
and keeps them at the foot of tho
ladder until they become strong to
hold every step they are able to gala
The first years of every man's business
or professional life are years of
education. They are Intended to be,
In the order of nature and Providence
Doors do not open to a man until he
is prepared to enter them. The man
without a wedding garment may get
in surreptitiously but he immediately
goes out with a flea in his ear. We
think it is the experience of most
successful men who have watched the
courso of their lives in retrospect,
that whenever they have arrived at a
point where they were thoroughly
prepared to go up higher, the door
to a higher place was swung back of
itself, and they have heard the call
to enter. The old die, or voluntarily
retire for rest. The best men who
stand ready to take their place will
succeed to their position and its
honors and emoluments.
The vountr man will tlmt n>ilv n
few can reach the top. That is true,
but it is also true that the further
from the bottom one goes, the more
scattering t lie neighborhood. One
can fancy, for illustration, that every
profession and every calling is pyramidal
in its living constituency, and
that while one man is at the top,
there are several tiers of men below,
who have plenty of elbow room, and
that it is only at the base that men
are so thick that they snatch the meat
out of another's teeth to keep them
from starving. If a man has no
power to got out of the rabble at the
bottom, then ho is self-convicted of
having chosen a calling or profession
to whose duties he has no adaption.
The grand mistake that young men
make, during the first ten years of
their business or professional life, is
in idly waiting for their chance. They
seem to forget, or they do not know,
that during those ton years they enjoy
the only leisure they will ever
have. After ten years, in the natural
course of things, they will be absorbingly
busy. There will then be
no time for reading, culture and
study. If they do not become thoroughly
grounded in the principles
and practical detail of their profession
during those years; if they do
not store their minds with useful
knowledge; if they do not pursue
habits of reading and observation,
and social intercourse, which result
in culturo, the question whether they
will ever rise to occupy a place where
there is room for them will be decided
in the negative. The young physicians
and young lawyers who sit
Idly in their offices, and smoke and
lounge away th? time, "waiting for
nwHieiiiiii'K iu mm up, are Dy that
courso fastening themselves for life
to the lower stratum, where their
struggle for a bare livelihood Is to
be perpetual. The first ten years are
golden years, that should be filled
with systematic reading and observation.
Everything that tends to professional
and personal excellence
should be an object of dally pursuit.
To such men th? doors of success
open of themselves at last. Work
seeks the best hands, as naturally as
wter runs down hill; and it never
seeks the hands of a trlfler, or of one
whose only recommendation for work
is that he needs it. Young men do
not know very much any way; most
of them know mighty little; and the
time always comes to those who become
worthy, when they look back
with wonder upon their early opinion
of their acquirements and themselves.
Ther? Is another point that ought
I Tint tfl tin nvorln/ilr?/l I- *1.? 4 -1 *
v/. ?wwn.^-vi 111 mu treatment
of this subject. Young men look
about them and see a great measure
of worldly success awarded to men
without principle. They see the
trickster crowned with public honors
they see the swindler rolling in
wealth, they see the sharp man, the
over-reaching man, the unprincipled
man, the liar, the demagogue, the
time-server, the trimmer, the scoundrel,
who cunningly manages, though
constantly disobeying moral law and
trampling upon social courtesy, to
keep himself out of the clu'.Mrof the
legal police, carrying off the prize of
wealth and place. All this Is a demoralizing
puzzle and a fearfu1 temptation;
and multitudes of young men
are not strong enough to stand before
it. They ought to understand that
in this wicked world there is a great
deal of room where there is integrity.
Great trusts may be sought by scoundrels
but great trusts never seek
them; and perfect integrity is at a
premimum even amoung scoundrels.
There are some trusts that they will
never confer on each other. There
are occasions when they need the service
of true men, and they do not find
them in shoals and in the mud, but
alone and in pure water.
Tn the realm of eminent acquirements
and eminent integrity, there
I is always room enough. Let uo
young man of Industry and perfectly
honest despair because his profession
or calling is crowded. Lot him al- i
ways remember that there is room
enough at the top, an dthat the question
whether he is ever to reach the
top, or rise abovo the crowd at the
base of the pyramid, will bo decided
by the way in which he improves the
first ten years of his active life in
securing to himself a thorough know
ledge of his profession, and a sound '
moral and Intellectual culture,
j Oo now, good children, and remember
your Creator in the days '
j of your youth. Go, now and
wrestle with the angel until the daybreak?until
you secure the blessing.
Commits Suicide.
Standing before a mlrrow In his
room In his home at Haytt's Park,
Columbia, Louis R. P. Arndt, aged
25, took his lifo late Monday by
sending a bullet crashing through
his brain. Ill health and despondency
are given as the cause for the
act. He was well known in Columbia
having been employed by a local drug
store as a drug clerk.
THE LAZY BUG
IF YOU HAVE THE TIIIED FEELING
AND DON'T FEEL
Liko Doing Anything that Requires
Effort, Why It Is as I'lain as Day?
The Lazy Hug's Got You.
The lazy bug will get you If you
don't watch out. The old-time wizard
who could put a whole castle or
city to sleep by simply waving his
staff above them was scarcely more
powerful , says the Atlanta Journal,
and even less insiduous than a wee
mite of a creature that has come
crawling into South Carolina; a microscopic
witch-worm that is giving
thousands of people a woozy feeling
and turning their existence into a
prolonged drowsy, lackadaisical gape
of indolence.
It is the lazy hug.
No bigger than a little eye lash,
it has become so prevalent here and
in other southern states, according
to reports, that Surgeon General Torney,
of the United States army, has
been carrying on an extensive investigation
into its cause and has devoted
an entire chapter of his forthcoming
annual report to its effects.
This it is believed, will lead to widespread
movement among hoards of
health to exterminate the dangerous
pest.
The lazy hug is sometimes called
the hook-worm, and 'occasionally
"the uncinaria," which is its hook
name. If you should begin to feel
an unaccountable tendency to yawn
all day long, look out. The lazy bug
is after you, and you would fare a
thousand times better if all the bogie
men on earth were chasing you instead.
The lazy hug Is at this moment
traveling through the South by regiments,
brigades and army corps. Millions
of them sometimes stop by the
way, walk into a man's blood, hang
up their hats and miako themselves
at home for the *eet of his life. Then
the man, or the child, limit* himself
growing sleepy. He doesn't give a
rap for anything. Ho becomes a
Rip Van Winkle.
Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
state board of health of Georgia, is
the discoverer of the lazy bug in this
section. He calculates that it causes
more loss to the South in the way of
human health and capacity than any
other single disease. In some portions
of the state, particularly the
southern portions, whole communities
have fallen into a drowse because
of this parasite. When these
people move to cities, especially cotton
mill districts, they carry their
lazy hugs with them, and so it happens
that Monsieur Uncinaria finds
him wny tiL tunes nuo cny streets, as
well as rural lanes.
This same lazy hug is at work In
South Carolina and is said to be doing
a)>out as much damage over
here as it is over there, and you had
better look out or it will catch you.
The Journal says when it became
known in Atlanta that the lazy bug
was abroad in the land, Dr. Edgar
Paulin, who is associated with Dr.
Harris, on the state board of health,
was immediately communicated with.
He is a specialist on the subject and
was prepared to give valuable advice.
"That lazy bug," he explained, "is
one of the most dangerous infections
you could imagine. It burrows
through the skin into the blood. Then
it 1h carried to the heart and thence
through the lungs. From there it
easily gets into the intestines, where
Its worst work begins. It devours a
person's vitality. That Is why people
infected with it are pale and listless.
Children catch it by going
barefooted. It starts with the oldfashioned
ground itch and sometimes
holds on as long as the patient lives.
It makes undersized children who are
developed neither mentally nor physically,
pallid-faced children who eat
dirt and all sorts of things. It Is
caught mostly in the country."
Evidences are plentiful that the
lazy bug has reached this city. Numbers
of people will testify that the!''
cooks have fallen prey already. And
with the cooks infected, what is to
prevent the family from drinking
lazy bugs through his breakfast coffee?
"Rut," explained Dr. Paulin, ' it.
takes only 10 cents to get cured of
the lazy bug. Yes, sir, only 10 cents.
A man can buy him a dime's worth
of thymol, which is a simple powdo",
and when he has taken it, he will he
free of lazy bugs."
"Why is it, then, that more people
don't cure themselves?" was asked.
i cuii i imagine, no answered,
"unless they prefer not to be cured.
Some folks just love to bo lazy, you
know."
It is hoped that Surgeon General
Torney's emphatic warning against
the lazy bug, will bestir the public
to vigorous and immediate action.
Else, the country may become a
land where people talk always in
their sleep. Chauffers will drive their
automobiles with one dull eyo half
open. At church, the man who keeps
awako will be as conspicious as the
one who now doses off, or rather he
would l>e, except for the fact that
nobody would be awake to notice
( him.
SOME GOOD ADVICE.
A Farmer Tolls How to Get the Most
From Cowpcoa.
"In Juat the proportion that wo Increase
the acreage of the cowpea, In
that proportion will the soils of our
section bo increased In fertility,"
says Mr. A. L. French, a successful
North Carolina farmer, In tho Progressive
Farmer. He then goes on
to say:
With us, It ususally follows a winter
grazing crop that has boon sown
on corn stubble, but wo aro not
averse to turning a good sod of clover
and timothy, and often do this,
plowing ilie sod in the Into winter.
Then as soon as the corn crop Is
planted, we start to harrowing the
pea land. And the deeper the plowing
is done and the better tho seed
bed is prepared, the better results
we obtain in the pea crop. No crop
wo have tried will respond hotter
to good treatment than will the pea
crop. We usually prepare the land
well with the disc, Acme, and spiketooth
harrows, sow the peas broad- I
cast by hand and cultivate them In !
with the spring-tooth cultivator. !
Then level the land with tho smoothing
harrow.
On our best land we generally use
three-fourths to one bushel per acre
of good clean Clay peas and a peck
of Amber cane seed. This makes the
best combination for cow feed of
any tiling we have ever used. On
the thinner fields, where we sow the
peas for soil improvement primarily,
we use the pea alone, broadcast, one
bushel per acre. Then where we
want the crop to be grazed by hogs
we put the peas in rows two feet
apart. We plant these with our tworow
corn planter.
When we have grown a crop of
peavines that will make as flue a
quality of hay as we have ever been
privileged to feed, we make hay of
it. everv acre, as wo hnvo novor k<?oi?
able to figure out tho economy of
making manure direct of peavlnes,
when every ton of pea hay is worth
fifteen dollars when fed to first-class
cattle or sheep, and tho manorial
value of the product reduced very
little by being passed through the
animal. When we can make hay of
poavines at u cost of from $1 to $1.50
per ton and return the manure back
to the land for 25c per ton, wo believe
it is good business to do so
rather than to plow under the crop in
tho raw state and just bury $13.25
with each ton so plowed uador. ]
Doesn't the proposition look reasonable?
? )
So we put the big six-foot mowor
into the pea field when tho pods are
getting brown, let the hay lie in tho
swath until thoroughly wilted, then
rake into good sized windrows and
leave until pretty well cured. If tho
weamer continueB fair, bunch and
lia.nl to the barn at once, but if rain
j threatens, cock up into large, high
cocks and leave them alone until the
weather clears, when the cocks are
taken apart, sunned and aired and
sent to tho barn with a rush.
NEC IIOES USE COCAINE.
Said to Ota.in the Drug from u Certain
White Man.
A dispatch from Lexington says a
prominent farmer from the Hollow
Creek section was there and stated a
fact that the law governing the sale
of cocaine was being openly and flagrantly
violated in his section. The
habit among the negroe was rapidly
becoming intolerable, in that farm
hands were using tho dope to the
extent of being useless.
He says that negroes carry it
around in their pockets, selling it at
elllirph pnthcrlnire nnrl in I?,
0.,v..x/. ****** 11* "V/III C litstances
they become wild and almost
unmanageable. One negro is said
to have had as much as $12 worth
of the drugs at one time. It is said
that it is much easier to peddle cocaine
than whiskey as it can be more
easily concealed.
It Is thought that a prominent
gentleman living in one of the near
towns is acting as a kind of a wholesale
dealer, and that the negroes and
whites that have become addicted
to the habit get their supply from
time to time.
It is said that a negro moving into
the community from Prosperity somo
months ago started the use of tho
drug among the negroes, and the
habit has steadily grown, until most
of the negroes in the setlement use
it in preference for liquor. Both men
and women use it, it is said.
It will be recalled that not many
weeks ago the mayor of the town of
Leesville fined the violator of the
cocaine law $f?00. He was tried on
live different counts convicted and
lined $100 on each count. One 110gro,
Mack Manning. Is now in jail
having been sent up by Mayor Hendrix.
The officers are going to work on
the case reported and it is thought
that the guilty parties will he apprehended.
Commits Suicide.
John Wilson committed suicide at
Fort Mill Township Saturday morning.
He was a white farmer. He
shot homself with a shotgun in the
neck, the gun being so arranged that
he pulled the trigger with his too.
The suicide is supposed to have been
caused by family trouble. The deceased
was 65 years of age.
CASHIER SHORT
A Trusted Man of Anderson
Ruins His Good Name
TOOK BANK'S FUNDS
A mi I/Out Them in Speculating in
Cotton Futures, Disappears, I,eav- '
ii?H a Writ ton Confession, Which
Completely Stunned Mis Friends,
Who Had Trusted Him.
J. T. Ilolleinan, who for two years
has been cashier of the Hank of Ant
derson, and who for four years was
assistant cashier, has been found
short In his accounts approximately
$35,000, and has left for parts unit
nown.
In the cash drawer of the bank he
left a letter, addressed to President
H. F. Mauldtn, In which he made a
clear cut and complete confession
saying that lie lost the money In
speculating In cotton futures.
Rather than face his friends, he
said In the letter, he would flee, and
t this he did on Sunday morning, when
j ho loft supposedly on his annual vacation.
The people of Anderson are
severely stunned, for there was no
man In Anderson who enjoyed the
; confidence nnd esteem of the people
more than did Mr. Towmes Holleman.
The hoard of director Issued the
following statement Tuesday:
"The hoard of directors of the
lhink of Anderson make the following
statement In regard to the shortage
of J. T. Holleman in his accounts
as cashier, which came to the knowledge
of the ofllcials Monday night:
After carefully looking into the affairs
of the hank we find the amount
will ho about $35,000, and inasmuch
as the capital stock is $150,000 and
the surplus $225,000, making a total
of $375,000 to which is added the
liability of the stockholders, $150,000,
making a total available for
crodltors of $525,000, the public can
realize that the standing of the bank
Is not Impaired nnd that the business
of the bank, with Its well-known ability
to accommodate its customers,
will not be lessened. The loss will
be charged off to-morrow, when the
hank examiner ascertains the exact
amount."
This statement was signed by President
B. F. Mauldin, Vice President
J. A. Brock, Attorney Joseph N.
Brown and five directors.
No statement ever issued in An
derson occasioned greater surprise
and consternation. The officials of
the bank knew nothing of the matter
until Monday night. Mr. Holleman
left the bank Saturday afternoon,
supposedly with the intention of going
away for a vacation of a week or
two. He told his associates in the
bank of his intention last week and
he left with their fullest permission,
and they did not dream that there
was anything wrong. He is supposed
to have left the fity sometime
Sunday. It is not known where he
has gone.
The bank was opened as usual
Monday morning and everything ran
smoothly during the day. When Mr.
A. H. Rharpe, assistant cashier, went
to balance the cash that night he
.. ~ -1 I _ A 1 U t 1
kjii nil in iut? (thmi i>ox a ituxer addressed
to Mr. Manldin, the president.
Ho also saw that thore was
something wrong *"lth tho cash. Mr.
Sharpe sent for Mr. Mauldln, who
was at his homo and the letter was
opened and road. Tn It Mr. Holleman
made a complete confession. He
said he had been speculating in futures
and had gone from had to
worse and that he had become desperate
and decided to leave as he
could not face his exposure.
He turned over all his property to
tho bank, but this will not come near
covering the shortage. The directors
of the bank were summoned, and after
examination they placed the facts
before Mr. Cfiles Wilson, the state
bank examiner, who happened to be
in the city on one of his regular
trips, and he is now going over the
books. The directors, however, have
already satisfied themselves that the
shortage is not more than $.15,000,
and of course, this will not in any
J way cripple the bank, which is one
of the strongest in the up-country.
Everything will go on as. usual as the
bank has a large surplus fund, seven
or eight times sufllclent to take rare
of the shortage.
Mr. Holleman, In his letter, said he
first began speculating In futures
about a year ago w,fn $'jOO which he
had saved. He losr. that ant' th< n
borrowed $1,000 fr? in tha bank w'lh
which to recoup his loss. This soon
went and other sums In rapid succession.
It is an old story of a small
beginning by a man who was the so ill
of honor and had no Intention of defrauding
anvbody.
Mr. Holleman Is a native of Walhalla
and has lived in Anderson
about twenty years. He has a wife
and several children. He has held
several responsible positions In the
city and hns been with the Hank of
Anderson about six years. He was
frugal In his habits, steady and Industrious,
and had always lived within
his Income. Ho was Just about
the last man In the city that would
have been suspected of being short
In his accounts.
The announcement of his trouble
THE hOCK WORM
IS WIDESPREAD IN SEVERAL OF
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Effort* Will lie Miuk' to Eradicate
the Terrible Dlso^wo by the Medical
Hoards.
A Washington dispatch pays tho
| hook worm, or the "lazy bug." as it
|
has been shown to exist in the Southern
States, according to the investigations
of the physical condition of the
army recruits, will form an Interesting
chapter in the forthcoming report
of the surgeon-general of the army
and will probably lead to widespread
effort on the part of the l>oardH of
health in th Southern States to erad
nine 1.11 is uisense, which a few years
ago was brought prominently to the
attention of the world in connection
with the Porto Iticans. After being
treated all of the Infected soldiers
gained in weight and improved in
physical condition generally.
Following this investilgation of
the recruits, it was discovered that
"uncinariasis," as hook worm is culled
in the medical world, was a common
disease thoroughout the Southern
States. it is estimated by tho
army surgeons that f?0 per cent, of
the recruits In the army today from
the rural districts of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi, Alabama and Ixriisiana
will show book worm infection.
The investigation has been progressing
quietly during the hist
six or seven months, so that when
Surgeon General Torney mak< s up
his annual report he will have much
data to prove the pravalence of tho
hook worm among the soldiers enlisted
from the Southern States.
These recruits passing though tho
army depot tit Fort Slocum, N. Y.,
I wore examined lo the number of 140,
[109 of them being infected with the
parasite. West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Tennessee all supplied
tho recruits that were infected.
Th e Columbia Record sayr the
knowledge now in tho possession of
the government corncernlng the hook
worm has been secured largely
through the investigations of L>r. C.
A. Stiles, who spent a year or .more
I in Columbia and 8outh Carolina for
I this purpose. He went into the c.otI
ton mill towns and ont into the
{country, Including the sand hills, living
among the people in their homes
land examining the children in the
I schools. His observations are the
I basis for the present announcement.
1 WOULD BK FIEND LYNCHED.
I Ordered Two Young Iaidies to Get
Out of Buggy.
King Green, a would-be negro
fiend, was lynched and his body riddled
with bulletH at Gurn Branch four
miles out from Eastman, Ga., Monday
morning.
The Misses Nicholson, daughters
I of Sam Nicholson, one of Eastman's
prominent citizens, while four miles
out from Eastman, were met in the
I road by the negro, who caught their
1 horse by the rein and toid them to
I get out, that it was his horse and be
1 was going to have it.
! The young ladies whipped up their
horse and tried to get away from him
but he held on until frightened by
their screams.
Dogs were sent from the county
convict camp and placed on his trail,
and after a run of several hours the

on their way to town, were met at

Medicine of Sunshine.
The medicine of sunshine is something
we cannot have too much. of. *
There are a thousand ills and pains
and aches of mankind for which it is
the cheapest and most effectual of
remedies. When the Samaritan
poured wine and oil into the wounds
of the beaten traveler he also poured
in lots of sunshine of a lovable merciful
disposition and it helped to heal
the poor man Just as much as the
medicine and food. Sunshine ohasee
away the shadows and brings hope
una cneor. More sunshine in business,
home, social seivice, and religion
is what the world needs.
will he received with the greatest surprise
throughout the city and county
and State, and there will ho the deepest
sympathy for him. Tie was universally
liked. It is not known whore
he has gone and no statement was
made as to what steps would be taken
to apprehend him. All of his
friends and the bank directors were
too stunned to map out any course
A
in union.
In the midst of tho grief over his
downfall about tho only comfort Is
that tho solidity of the bank was not
lrnplred In the slightest degree, and,
