WHY YOl NIi MEN I A11. This question has recently been going the rounds of the press and eliciting various comments and not a few more or less defina 3 answers. It is a practical question and ought to be one of intense interest both to the young and the old. It is a fact that there are many dead failures both among men and women, among the young and the old, while not one in a thousand, perhaps, comes up to his own ideal or reaches a position of honor and influence sullicient to characterize his life as success. In discussing tiiis question, indeed in almost any question, it necessary first of all to have a clear understanding of the subject under discussion—a fact, which so far as may or may not be realized. The temptations of the present are stronger than the hopes of the fu ture, for the objects of the one are tangible realities; of the other only dim visions of an intellectual faith. Society itself is largely to blame for many of the temptations to ex travagance that now beset the young man who respects himself and has an ambition to be respected by others- He finds himself in the midst of ex travagant customs and severe exac tions. If his wages are small, as they usually are, and if he maintain the stand in society to which he feels himself entitled, the question with him will often be, not how he can lay by a little money for a rainy day, but how he can meet the current de mands made upon him and at the same time maintain his integrity and keep even with the world. Happy it will be for him if he can do this and never give his employer, nor any body else, the slightest reason to suspect bis faithfulness or bis honor. encouragement of such a a class, we never be a or in so- cleun hands It may often cost him a struggle to resist some in sidious temptation, he may often be chagrined and humiliated at some real or imaginary slight offered him favorita of the as he maintains a he may hold his and look the in the face—he a firm, is big- that kve have observed, has been entirely over-looked in this discussion of the failure of the young men. What do t\e mean by failure? \\ hut by suc cess? I'ntil these questions are dearly answered and the meaning of ihese terms definately fixed, we may ivrangle forever, without reaching a ^a* isfactory conclusion. by some pampered hour; but so lon^ , spotless integrity ! head proudly erect ■ whole world squarely ! may tread the ground with i manly, confident step, for he ; ger and stronger than anything I can bannen to him. For the one, and lie represents 1 wish to say that he will decided ? failure either in business j ciety, so long as be has “ and ' and a pure heart.’ is i •>n i : s of , ii jr■ ’ ; st rd which O one man raises for i,' -ust '<■ may i*» an object of contempt to another man of different temperament, habits, and surroundings. The fail ure of one man to obtain the object of bis ambition may be pronounced a decided success by bis neighbor who is traveling a different road and striving for n different end. We, ourself, believe that the young man who establishes a good, firm, moral character, who is truthful, honest, and sincere, who scorns a meanness and stands squarely by his honor, can never be truly called a failure, no matter how deficient he may be in other ({ualifications usually considered as necessary elements of success. He may be poor in this world’s goods, obscure in origin, awkward in manners, ignorant of books, and unskilled in the ways of the world, but he’s a man "for a. that”—a man of dignity,and a man of power, a big all-round, towering suc cess. He is a man whom the human heart, constituted as it is, will in stinctively honor, no matter, what the head may think or the tongue may say. Hut the usual standard of success in this day is measured by the amount of money that a man may make, and the discussion mentioned assumes this as the only standard. The question then, so far as regards this phrase of (he subject, is why do young men fail to make money? It is taken for granted, and not without reason, that money is a com mon object of ambition. .Money brings comforts, pleasures, advan tages, influence, independence, and it is natural and right that young men should strive diligently by a!) honest means to obtain it and should exercise caution and discrimination NOTES AND COMMENTS. If the weather he fa ; r next Sunday night, let everybody turn out and view the eclipse of the mocO, which will be almost total; and if anybody has yet any lingering doubts that the earth is round, let him look at the shadow she casts upon the moon and be convinced. Spartanburg county is spending money freely in order to find out how it happens that county affairs are in a muddle. At last accounts she had invested several thousand dollars in the undertaking and the muddle was still on. Since her daughter, Chero kee, left, the old lady she seems to be in a muddle. Now comes a rise in the price of guanos—a rise sullicient to absorb the difference between this and lui-t year’s price of cotton. This was to be expected, and jribally no o: e is to blame. In an era of high prices, no one important commodity can long lay behind. The wise farmer will go to work to counteract the ef fects on himself of this rise, by mak ing more manure at home and there by putting himself in condition to need less of the commercial article. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The fiercest battle yet fought be tween dispensary constables and moonshinars took place last Tuesday near the city of Creenville. There were only four men engaged, two dis pensary constables, Cornwell and Cooley, and two whiskey men, Geo. Howard and a stranger. Curnweli and Howard are dead, Cooley is st- verely wounded, and the stranger who fought behind a tree is supposed to have escaped unhurt. So whiskey and blood continue to mix in a peran- niul stream. With bitter strife rag ing among the controling officials and in spending it. The man who is hampered for want of money, whose desires reach out beyond the limits of bis means, w ho has formed habits which his legitimate resources will not maintain, is continually meeting with strong temptations to dis honesty. His self-respect is lowered, Ids manhood is weakened, and he is already on the road to disgrace and ruin. Vv by do so many of our young men fail to make money? W e answer first of all, because the ability to make money dept nds ueon an independent faculi v < i ibe : '•I- Ject with which e«):np<n>.i ; y;y tv* have been endowed, aiul toe ability to save it after it is made depends primarily upon a natural disposition, which no circumstance nor necessity can create. Successful business men often point with a sneer to financial failures among the educated classes, as a proof that education itself is a fail ure; and one of the strongest mo tives among some uneducated par ents to give their children a liberal education, is to be found in their be lief that education enables a man or woman to make money. Ilotb are mistaken. No education can create an independent faculty. It trains and develops faculties already in ex istence and thereby renders them more efficient, but creation belongs alone to God. The second reason why young men fail to accumulate, is to bo found in the fact that they • are unwilling to sacrifice present enjoyment for fu ture good. They are living emphati cally in the present, and the present is a vivid reality, while the future is an unknown quantity—a dream that frequent bloody battles between the constables and the people, surely the cup of dispensary iniquity is well r.igh full. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The idea of bagging Aguinaldo in the North has been abandoned, He and his followers are proving to be rigid lively game for I’ncle Fain, the sportsman. Yet President McKinley in bis message, and high government officials in their ordinary intercourse talk about the degree of liberty they will accord the "insurgents” with a nor ehlilunce which combines co 1 i'iiprudence with ridiculous absurdity. Spurn d bated ihat question for three hundred years and found at lust that tlie debate hud been unnecessary and superogatory. Here is a problem for some reader who is femd of mathe matics: If Spain tried for three hun dred years to conquer the Philip pines and failed, and the United States whipped Spain in six months, how long will it take the I'nited States to conquer the Philippines? These are the conditions of the problem ; let's hear from the mathe maticians.

Sunday night a week ago when the people were gathering at the Conven tion Hall for the last service of tlie State baptist Convention the weather was clour and the ladies wore arrayed in their finest silks and feathers. About the time tlie Convention was drawing to a close the clouds gather ed and the rain began to descend and tlie ladies were puzzled to know' wliut to do with their pretty hats. Clerk of the Court Jefferies.came upon the scene and the matter was laid before him. He was equal to tlie emergency and suggested that the huts lie left in his office, and fora few minutes the ladies came near running over each other in their efforts to deposit their hats in the bachelor clerk’s office. The next morning when Mr. Hamlin, M. Jefferies’ assistant, came to the office to work he was dumbfounded at the pile of hats and he at once be gan to disturb the array of headgear, thinking that the clerk was buried beneath the mountain of ribbons and llovvers and feathers. Just about the time ho had finished tumbling them about the clerk stepped in and threw up his hands in holy horror at the sight that greeted his eyes. There was all the pretty finery that the la dies had enfrusted to his caro in one conglomerated mass. He did not know what to do, for among the lot were tlie hats of three or four of bis best girls. But what he did do was to put Mr. Hamlin to sorting them out and he went after a married lady acquaintance of his and confided in her the secret. .She kindly went to tlie office and did all in her power to get the mass in shape before the owners began to call for them. Dur ing the live long day Eh and berry i were in a state of expectancy for they were positive that somebody’s darling hat was ruined and they did not know how in tin* world they were to get out of it. but the hats were all carried away and as the last one went out and the sweet creature smiled sweetly on Eb. and thanked him for his gallantry there went up a sigh of relief from two burdened mas culine hearts and berry declared he would never be guilty of looking for Eb. again beneath a pile of feminine headgear even if the ladies smothered him to death. PRAISE OF THE PRESS. Kind Words That \re Truly A|>i>r«‘i-iat«d lly l «. The Gaffney Daily Ledger last wei k was well gotten up and its editor de serves endless praise. The matter handled was well prepared and reflec ted credit on tlie town. Mr. De- Catnp is a hustler.—Clinton News. The Daily edition of the Gaffney Ledger, which Manager DeCamp has been getting out during the session of the Baptist State Convention would be creditable to many of the cities of tiiis section.—Yorkvillc Yeo man. The Gaffney Ledger as a daily pa per, was a great success. Some of our regular dailies might do well to emulate its enterprise. Gaffney ought to grow and prosper if for no other reason than to be able to sup port a regular daily edition of tlie Ledger. Its sketches and iliustra- tions of Baptist leaders and institu tions are well worth preservation.— Florence Reform Advocate. In the conclusion of tills article we beg to be allowed to call attention to the kindness of Editor Ed. H. Be- Cump, of the Ledger, whose whole attention was given in reporting the convention and making it pleasant for all visitors to the city. Mr. DtCamp i? an enterprising business man. and, withal, a good writer and kind hearted fellow, witii whom al delight to associate. He promised this scribe that in the near future he would pay Walhalla and the sanctum of the Courier u visit, which we trusl he will do. We will be delighted to do him honor. No man in Gaffney deserves or received more praise than he. He deserves it, because every day lie published an issue of his en terprising paper to report tin* pro ceedings of the convention.—J. W. Fliclor in Keowee Courier. Convention Et lnx s [.I. W. Slielor in Keowoe Courier.! The good people of Gaffney did us grand while in their city. We found their homes and hearts wide open; their hospitality boundless a.id their attention to delegates and visitors such as to make all feel that they were among friends and brethren. From home to home in that grand city of homes all went, and not one time did any feel unwelcome or cut of place. Our hearts were made to rejoice wherever we went. Indeed, every one felt that lie or she had the best home in the city, and that there were no other people as kind as those witii whom their lot was cast. This humble scribe found a home with Mr. and Mrs. Barney Glarcy. a bride and groom of three months, than whom there are no better and kinder people anywhere; kind, con siderate and hospita’ 1c, they n a It us to feel that our God was their God ar d they our kinsman in the flesh. We cannot say enough in praise of thesj good people. We would be pit used to fall Into their hands again. Rev. Benjamin Perry Robertson, the Bishop of the First Baptist church of Gaffney, deserves our heart felt thanks for the trouble he put himself to to make us all pleasant and comfortab.o, As the conven tion closed we dare say that many prayers went up to a throne of grace for the welfare and continued success of Brother Robertson. lie really seemed to enjoy his arduous tusk of seeing after every one while in his city.
