WHAT IS AN AMKKICANi What ls an American ?.iiizen? We of this seel ion of the South do not realize the complexity of the diffusion of races in some parts of the United States. There ls In the bill country of South Carolina less than one per cent of foreign born population, and those whom wc have are so welded into our plan of living that they are Just like all the rest of us-and some of them have no superior in citizen ship and patriotism. With reference to tho different kinds of people going to make up the population of this country, we have never seen anything put w ith so much force and effectiveness as waa Pres ident Wilson's funeral oration on the occasion of the burying of the dead from Vera Cruz. This is his descrip tion of American citizens: Notice that these men were o\ our blood. I mean of our American blood, which is ont drawn from any one country, which ls not drawn from any one stock, which ls not drawn from any one language of the modern world, but free mon everywhere have sent their sons and their brothers and their daughters to this country in order to make Hie great compound ed nation which consists of uti the sturdy elements and of all the best elements of the whole globe. I Ib-tened again to this list with a profound interest at the mixture of the names, for the names bear the marks of the several national slocks from which these men came. Dut they are no: Irishmen or Germans or Frenchmen or Hebrews any more. They were not when they went to Vera Cruz; they were Americans be cause of the stock from which they came. Therefore they were In a peculiar sense our blood and they proved lt by showing that they were of our spir it thal no matter what their deri vation, no matter where their people came from, they thought and wished 'and did the things that were Ameri can; amt the flag nuder which they served wai? a flag in which all the blood of mankind is united to make a nation. That is a beautiful sentiment, beau tifully expressed. We believe in a re stricted immigration, the kind that will bring us citizens, hut we do not believe tn letting down the bars and letting the criminals of other nations make a mere refuge of our country. We. congratulate our neighbor The Hartwell (Ga.) Sun on Its improv ed appearance since the Installment of a linotype. The pnper ls a great credit to Hart county.

Wc hear life murmur, or see it glis ten ; Every ?dod feels a stir of night, Ar. instinct within lt that reaches und towers, Am!, groping blindly above it for light, i limbs to a soul In grass und flowers ; Tile Hush of life may well be seen 'I hrilling back over hills and val li ys; i Th?- cowslip startles in meadows green, The buttercup catches the sun in its chalice, And there's never a leaf or a blade too mean To be some happy ?Teature's palace; The little hird sits at his door in the sun. Atilt like a blossom among the leaves. And lets his illumined being o'errun With the deluge of summer it re ceives; His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings. And the heart in her dumb breast flutters and sings; He sings to the wide world, and she to her nest, In the nice car of Nature which song it the best? Now is thc high tide of the year. And whatever of lifo hath ebbed away. Comes flooding back with a rapply < hi er. Into every hare inlet and creek and bay; Now the heart is so full thnt a drop overfills lt. We are happy now because God wills D: 'Tis enough for us now that the leavcB are green; We sit in the warm shade and feel right well How the sap creeps up and the blos soms swell; We may shut our eyes, but we cannot help knowing That the skies are clear and the grass is growing; Tho breeze comes whispering In our ear, That dandelions are blossoming near. That maze has sprouted, that streams are flowing, That the river is bluer than thc sky; That the robin is plastering his house hnrd-by; And if the breeze kept the good news back. For other couriers we should not leek ; We could guess it all by yon heifer's lowing, And hark! how clear bold chanticleer, v\ armed with the new wine of the year. Tells all In his lusty crowing. Joy comes, grief goos, we know not how ; everything ls happy now, Kverythlng ls upward striving; 'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true As for grass to be green or skies to be blue. 'Tia tho natural way of living: Who knows whether the clouds have fled? In the unsenrred heaven they leave no wake; And the eyes forget the tears they have shed, Tlie heart forgets Hs sorrow and ache. The soul pcrtakes the season's youth, And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe, Lie deep 'neath a silent pure and smooth, Like burnt-out craters healed with snow. -James Russell howell.

ANDERSON, & C WAS UNWORTHY TO KEEPMEDAL SO YOUNG MAN RETURNED IT TO PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE A CONTRITE SPIRIT Caused Him To Make Acknow ledgement of Wrong He Had Done College and Himself Much discussion has been caused by the publication of the facts that Dr. H. N. Snyder has received from some graduate of Wofford college a contrite letter In which this person admits that he had received fraudulently a medal awarded in some college competition. lie returns the medal to the college. Stories of "conscience money" are not Infrequent. Office holders who do not work and draw big salaries are never known to semi,any back to the treasury, bul occasionally there comes thc refreshing account of some' heart broken person who jvishes to get his conscience squared "Avith the world. John Austin, the man on the c?rner, one day this week received a letter from a perBon who IvAd stolen1 some thing out of the store7 and wished to relieve bis conscience by a confession. These incidents come up almost dal ly, but that of the medal being re turned ls without parallel. In speaking of tho gold medal which was returned to him Wednesday morning by a former Wofford student, who felt that he could keep lt no longer because he had won lt unfairly. Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder said that In stead of destroying the medal as he had at first thought of, he would ob literate from it all traces an dtstin gutshlg marks which might lead to Its identification, nnd will in time award it if such an occasion should ever arise, to some student who shows some signal qualifications 'of .manhood which may compare with the wonder ful victory the original owner won In hi? own soul when'.ho returned lt. This medal with the history attached to it. and symbolic of tho great struggle which once went on ..?in a man's soul and in which his finer .qual ities of manhood were .finally victor ious after tho long ordeal will indeed be one to be proud of. Dr. Snyder addressed the college students In the chapel as follows "This morning's mail, brought me a lotter with a gold medal enclosed, in it. It was from a former student of this college-a student who lett the college before any one of you entered it. A part of the letter read as fol lows: "So long as there is a weight in my soul and conscience that my work ls sadly in vain. Qod requires me to make a confession and ?Ive up this medal, which is not rightfully mine. I do not know what to do with it. I am sending it to you to dispose of lt at your discretion." "Prom this letter I have torn the signature, and from the medal I shall obliterate every mark that might lead tn iden ti Ina! ion nf the man. I mean to respect Iiis secret absolutely. "Nu cine can tell what he bas suf fered in carrying this bidden wrong in bis life. When he did the dishonor able thing by copying the essay t' - won him the medal, ne doubtless ld not realize the price he was paying for the golden prize for excellence which waa not honestly his. Youth I is proverbially thoughtless, and \ stranly like their elders, at times ? young men show a singular failure to j measure things at their right value, ! Felling cheaply a man's honor for a j little bauble and a short hour of popular applause. Hut this hoy lied something in him Just a bit too fine ! for him to hold to an honor which he own honor. So he suffered In the deep silences of his own soul, and the me dal. Intended to be a shining badge of worthy achievement, became an ever present, intolerable hurt to his cleanest thinking, and made the com mon work of the bunds seem sadly in vain. "He could not keep the medal and he recovered his manhood by sending it back. None of us can tell what lt cost him to do th's-what doubts, what struggles of mind, what anguish of soul. He bad to reach down into the depths of his character to And the strength thus to face .the shame and humiliation of possible exposure. But in doing it be played the man, and as hard as lt was, went the only way by which he could have found again bis lost self-respect, his ease of con science, and peace of mind. "I venture the statement that he ls happier at this hour than he has been in a long time. He knows he has done the only thing a real man could do under the circumstances. He must also have within him a sense of vic tory strong enough to make him all but sing as be goes about lils work, and hold his head higher than he has held lt for a long time, and face life in thc Inspiring consciousness that he has found again something very precious which in a shadowed, blind hour he carelessly let slip from him. "It is thus moral tonic to read this page of human experiences In which is tho record of a man's playing the man-and recovering his integrity of character over a hard and bitter rond of effort."
