Remember this and do not get discouraged in working out your own plans in life. * * * * Those who find pleasure in their work are the happiest people on the earth; those who look elsewhere for enjoyment go through life without ev^ er finding it. * * * All over the State of South Carolina cotton warehouse companies arc i> *V f /\ / 1 ,. i 1-. _ ... . . ..... i' _ A. ucni)^ iui iiitu iur tne purpose to storing the cotton and taking care oi' it until it will bring a better price on the market. * * * * You can lay down the very best rules of conduct for men and women to follow. You can recite them from the pulpits and cry them from the house tops, but you cannot make them follow them. * * * * There arc many things a man maj do, and there is no limit to which the accomplishments of a woman may go but neither man or woman can prevent ill talk or gossip about them at some time or other in their daily lives * * * One good sign of prosperity at this time is the fact that the farmers art planting wheat and oat crops and wil depend upon these instead of cottoi for another year. Some farmers wil plant cotton of course, hut there L 110 douht but. that the acreage next year will be considerably reduced. 4c A- * # In the Winter time is the propel time to prepare for a clean town nexi Summer when there will bo nrurl more danger from the germs.

They organize the pcopb at each town where they intend t< give shows and thus make the peoph feel that it is really their own get up * * * ? In the course of a conversation on< time a man said that he would pa; fifty thousand dollars for the produc lion of a negro that would invariable tell the truth. The crowd agreed tha it was a hard thing to do. Anothei man in the crowd stated that so far a: he was concerned ho had never beei able to find very many white men that did not lie. * * * * No use to come to town and ask th< first man you meet what is the statin of the European war. The town inai knows only what he sees in the news papers and that is not much. Th< war news passes over to this count?*} only after being censored. We nevei know when we have learned the rea facts, and perhaps may never know Head the newspapers and get what in formation you can and you will hav< to do without the rest. * * * Some men and women in this worh have been born into this world with i look of astonishment on their faces and though they lived for years an< years since, still they are apparent]} living in daily surprise^ The rea?*?r ' Is that they belong to a class of peo who have never understood nature fcoth human and otherwise, and the> ?lo not accept nature as the explanaHon of many things. , - - It would have been far bettecr for Belgium to have quietly allowed the Germans 1KISS throuorh her terri tory on the ground that she was out-1 ' numbered and to light under the circumstances was the same as suicide. Now this little country is laid entirely j waste, their homes are broken up, the people are starving and would all die but for the charity of the rest of the' world. ? * * The great trouble in the towns of i this section at this time is the dispoi sition on the part of their authorities , to spend too much on things that are not permanent, and they devote too J much time to planning uot improvements that are only temporary and | really turn out to be make-shifts. In | this way, in many of the towns, we | dare say, thousands of dollars are ex- | pended every year resulting in no | permanent good, and if this money I was saved until there was enough tc a do something really worth while, f would be some return from the ex- E penditurc of tax money.
