"Mitor Herald:
W, Please allow ire space in your valu fthle
little paprr for a few words of
B*ncouracement to those who have
parted life's highway. Don't ever
Btop; keep your face set toward heafc'cn.
Wo will soon reach the pearly
Borates. ftvery thins has changed in
(phese late yerrs except God and sal
Hjwhon. I am so glad that they reKfm.in
the same and 1 have a few words
If to say to the young people:
Wl v>'i!l .av again as I have said beHf.nre,
there is only one thing to make
fji man out of and that's a hoy. I
Shave been over a jvirt of twelve stales,
l.'feen many faces of the many millions
j>f people in America and elsewhere.
Iil'liere is only one t!i>i p: at large th:?t
MXOl'ybody wants and that is -aJ.>>,"action.
The man gets drunk ror the
ivay he enjoys t; t ie gambler goes
\o his eternal home often with lis
misspent life in ;in. Oftentimes the:
'<eeds of gambling are sown in the
home, beginning with the playing of J
'ox and goose and common c'nr-cker- j
hoard, and from that t'? Uool: and
Setback, and the i.hirst becomes moie!
Und greater; and later on poker, and
Ikvinds up r. any limes in the death
pells of our prisons. 1 saw a judge
^sentence a nice looking young man.
No doubt he was the idol of his mother's
heart, the darling boy of her
Mreams, and a'so the father; and was
^10 doubt the choice young man of his
.. omnt unity and was the husband of
'? well educated and very pretty young
lady. With .all his education and his
Refinement he was to be a state convict
for ten long years. The judge
I old him to stand up and receive m>
outonce?it was a sad hour to many
f his friends present. All that father
nd mother ha<l done to make a genlemnn
of him was, so to speak, a
omplete failure in life ? they had
nly raised a convict who brought
ray hairs and dishonor to his loved
ties and hastened the steps of his
arents to the grave. One can so
usily step from freedom to life's imrisonment
or into some stain that
ill never come ofT our life or the
ves of our otfspring. The strong
rm of our states may forgive us
nd send us back home pardoned; our
arents and loved ones may embrace
l " K .1 i.rt nlfi^o in

llic family circle, but we can never
stand any more with the world; our
place in society will ever he vacant,
put God \\viU never hold rude things
Against us if we will only consecrate
aur lives to Him and live for Him.
Often 1 see young hoys and men with
u pi: t ?i in one pocket and some hay
rum in the other, and pads of ca'*ds
Ulong with some cigarettes and
hiatchos, and some man's daughter b;>
his side in a litll" Fovrl, his little
cap on the sido of his head. The
littie gp*l sure'y n.u.t get courted he-1
fore he takes her home; and should i
I he consent for a marriage, what kind j
f a husb.and or father do you tlr'nk '
e won hi make? He looks and acts I
s though the world needed a boss!
rid he was the only one who could
1! the place since Alexander Llie
rvent died. ^
I so often thin k of a young man
saw in a barber shop in VViiming- |
3n sometime ago. There were sevrat
young men in Hie shop at the
me. cursing and pulling down morally
in every form. As the barber
traightened him up in the chair lie
ejrnn to talk and give a bit of b;si
n'periennc. lie said lie was raised
i the state of Kentucky on a farm,
[is father sent him to r.'hool and
oiii there Iff college; and his fut.lv v.
'hose hands were rough and full of
Ishie'd 1'rom liai'i! aoor. jv.:a mis wh\
jthrourh nil, and ho had been e;"adu
ate ! with honors :rd o;n ip h'.ck to
the old ho 10. Mis fij'.hor . -lid <<> him,
"Go on *ho farm and select you a
one-ho> se farm anywhere you liko;
fco to t'.io .table ;.?"i select any inulo
you want"; ho did. o and he went to
work, ploui'/hod :i I'ovv days and said.
"The very i1 -a of :i college y;r.v'uato
plowrhinjr a mule on a one-horse farm
in Kentucky!" No doubt the old we!!
[with old swcop and bucket looked too
small for him to stay there. He s.aid
he thought that the world needed a
master, so lie staried out, left the old
'home; left his mother's old safe and
her hi.fr, warm featherbed, where he
had often come home any hour of the
nif'ht and found soivoihi;;;.? to oat, aad
?<it v.*a; all seasone.i with welcome.
It's the reiriet in my life that 1 ever
Kdid "o. Oh that 1 could retrace my

j Younfc man, there is a place for
I you to fill in this lifo that no "one
I else ry.n fill for you. Wo are like
[the spokes that are put in the wheel
land forms the circle. Each individual
(has a place. As the wheel turns over
IB the spokes that aro on the ground
Tjhear the load. So Ihon. in the circle
Lof lifo we should each boor a nart
Fof -hinirs pertainimv to a better life.
l Often wo sco r. spoke broken out of
[ this wheel and c*ui never be replaced.
IOften a wheelwright cm re^noke the

I never be rospoked. So the ol(l ser}
pent th"t ha robbed so nvuiv wheels

i T wns on a steamboat one dav or,
pi the C'lpc 'Var Uiver. Went up t>
RSll^e p:'< <> 'alked with the
If pilot. He was an ol<! colored man
named R'.'ck^ton, I asked him how
lonp he had been pulling that m'ioH
I;?rs f! Iv; ;^n wev v.yis, ".About C~} years."
The back-' of his eyes had b'ue rinj*around
them from :v?re. He neve;'
made a curve without sou no'in;/ hi
whistle a note of warning. I'e never
stuck the bow of the boat in the mud.
He ijever wrung a wheel ofT. I said
to him, "You know where all the
snags arid logs are, don't you?" And
he said, "No sir, I do not; hut I do
know where there is not any.
Young man, you had better always
steer your boat, in the center of tiie
channel. You will never make :i iristake
by giving God your heart, tilling
your place in Sunday School and in
prayer meeting and in such places.
A judge once said in court tlu-.t he
had never sentenced a boy to imprisonment
that had lieen reared, in
SuncViy School and under good re'igious
influence. The young men and
young women of today seem to think
that it's* too small a piace to go to
Sunday School and prayer meeting,
hut it grows to be i great tree in
this life and in the life to come, so
that by doing our full duty to God
and church it grows to ire an everblooming
(lower in our life rhe jear
around. A little wrong grows to be
a large tree, fruitless and full of
tearr. and bitter thorns oL' regret. One
night in our town, just a lad of a boy
had an old pistol in '.is pocket.. Although
he nor no one else had any
use .or it (tor it hacf only ono ball
in it) he was in a very highly esteemed
merchant's store and he and
the boy were looking at the pistol,
and it accidentally fired, killing the
nice young merchant, leaving his store
of goods ,'jnd a pretty young wife
and ('our beautiful little girl children.
It only took one ball to make four
orphan girls and a heart-broken wife.
The goods were soon scattered, ihe
home wrecked, the little girls given
i.way among their people. The mother
soon married again, but these little
?nes missed the love and kisses of
kind and affectionate father .and
mo'her, just from the effects of one
pistol bail. As you go to the chain
gang and state prison you can see
he effect of the one pistol ball. Some
times the half ounce pistol ball can
ning ton after ton of sorrow. Dear
Reader, do you remember what one
5-cent piece of money cost Horry
county one time? Some years ago a
Ika got fx vial of some kind of liquid
that would change the color of money
and make a 5-cent piece look like a
3f> go'dpiece, so he changed the color
of the 5-cent piece. Me went to court
?.nd it was raining, and went in a
store before a crowd of men and :
bought an umbrella with his painted
nickel and- passed it as a .>;? gompiece,;
got his change and went out. For
that 5-cent piece his father had to
mortgage the old home, and 1 was
told that his mother died of a broken
heart. The boy spent several years
in state prison. That one 5-cent piece ;
caused it all. What it cost the county
was quite a large sum, I guess.
J A man one day gave a millionaire's!
horse an apple and pal od ihe horse
on the neck. A few days later the
rich man asked this >. an to grant him
a favor and the poor man did it, and
when he did it he was granted a
check for $100,000. A small boy once
filled a woodbox with wood, but before
filling it lie cleaned it out and
straightened it. lie was only a poor
j boy chopping wood here and there to
help take care of his mother. He
' was asked why he cleaned out the
| box and he cal rilv answered, "I saw
1 fhat it needed to be done. The boy
! c'imbed fro.v. a wood chopper to
j ciual partner in- th? large mercantile
business, where he straightened the
'*'oed box. It's not always the amou:/.
I I,at we do but the spirit in which
we do it. At one of the state banks
not Ion;; since the lock to the vmlt.
got caught and neither the cashier
j nor any one of his helpers could
< lock it. The rovernor said, "Looks
[ ike w? will have to blew it open."
' The superintendent the state prison
came lip and -aid. "i have a r
vict that can open trie vau't." The
men se? e<l ;oi r\ir > surprised, aid
so ex pi essed Ikr" e'ves. but they Vd
"If you have. p!.. :\-yo ser.d him lit re
end !eJ, him onen it." The . i . mi-,
tindent '.'.eve him a note to take to
the cashier. ;\s he \vas a trust", and
he walked into the tank with hi '
under hi.-; arm. gave the note to t^e
cashier "nd he said, "Are you t!ie
one that c".n open the safe?" Me
I said "Yes sir, I made those locks for
j fourteen vrars." So he was invi e.l
around and opened it in about five
[ > linutes. He said those locks wee
1 11 ' ' 1 i i 1 . 1 ! i|
ail made ai;ue wiui a nnr
comhip.a!ion. Whe-i it was found on!
! that ho had opened the vaulJ he was
! offered a handsome sum of money,
i But he had to refuse and said, "I
| rvm't take it, for' ' am only a poor
convict serving a life sentence." As
lie walked away the governor looked
at him with pity and granted him a
pardon. 1 believe that the prayer of
some loved one had readied and unlocked
the throne of grace in his. !)e
half just ,'is he reached and unlocked
the vault. That was the way that
God had to set him free. So many
times little deeds, work to be great
things in days to come.

girls. You are one anions the greatest
things that God ever made. Can
scatter more sunshine in the life of
sinful men than any one else. You
ran reach a hard-hearted sinner that
a man could never reach. Lift up
your heads and look at the rosebuds
you can help to bloom in so many
lives and how much sunshine you can
scatter when the young man offers
to take you to the theatre or the
dance hall, or show of any kind. You
kindly saw "I thank you, but I want
my life filled with something richer
and more noble than that." You may
go with him to those places and rkV
with him late hours at nifrht. but
when he gets ready for a wife he seldom
ever goes to get you. He will
call you his old sport. So later on
you will have to try to catch an old
widower and start life with a ready
started home and familv. I have

some of them today are cooks and
maids in the same boy's home, for
his wife to sit lip in comfort a u!
ease. It will not hurt you to speak
and smile to those you pass by.
Often in li^e we see a flower that is
wilted and drying up, and when there
corres a shower of rein, Oh. how it

person who the world has thrown
aside and cast their name out as e\il.
If they only had some one to scatter
a little sunshine for them they would
make such lovely men and women.

He lias been gone to .jlor.-land many [
' ears. Have you noticed in the dif
ferent prisons and asylur.of today
that most of the inmates of them are
young people? The irroat e;rj.se ef
this is that parents are not doing
their duty by their children. The
children use to obey their parents; if
they failed they were punished ur1i)
they did obey. Fo'ks use to begin
f.irrying their children to church i'1
infancy and right on all the;r lif?.
But it is not so now, for it takes two
I or three people to nurse a one-year
I <>ld baby. The mother can't stay in
the church unless the child wants to
stay. The average mother can't t.ake
dm lUllo fV?vr?o-vr>?r old hov to the
I barber shop for a haircut. He will
outtalk her and she will say, "I'll
have to wait on him until some other
time."

said he did one thin# that lie had always
been sorry for. Went to white
man's home, killed all of them and
the last one to be killed was an infant
baby sitting on the floor. He
said, "As 1 threw it up to fall on a
sharp pointed knife in my hand to
kill it. as it passed his face it looked
into his eyes and smiled sweetly."
He said he could shut his eyes and
see baby's smile yet. There are so
many people today that are doing
things that when they become old
they will shut their eyes and say, too,
"I wish I hadn't done that/' We can
never undo the things that are past.
Wc often smile with our lips and an
aching heart in our breast, unless we
do the right. There are but three
things that will make us lau^h. something
we see or hear or feel.A chrir
nan from all three ot these and a
sinner from only what he sees and

will laugh with you; when you cry

CARDUI HELPED
REGAIN STRENGTH
Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
and Depressed?Read Her
Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the following
interesting account of lier recovery:
"I was in a weakened condition.
I was sick tlirco years in bed,
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay ancl my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't oat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would# have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I beram to eat and siren, lio^n to
gain my strength and am now well
unci strong. I haven't had arvy trouble
since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don't
think there irf a bettor tonia made
arid I believe it saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer aa these women did,
tuko Cardui. ;i may help you, too.
