[Spartanburg Herald,! “Get out and hustle,’Rastas I The new generation owes you nothing but what you earn—a useful career if you do well, and, if otherwise, a good, swift kick. It’s not philanthropy, but it’s business.” These suggestive words by the Portland Oregonian have been widely copied in the South. They are meant to apply to the position of the negro in this country, but do not they ap ply to everybody ? Could they not be said with equal force, philosophy, and truth as well to Erasmus as to Rastus, as well to St. James as to Jim, as well to Nicholas as to Nick? Does the new generation owe anything to any man who does not earn it, whether that man be white or black? • Get out and hustle, young man,” is the order of the times. The world owes you a living? Very well, then get to work and collect it. Perchance it is “a good swift kick” the world owes you. Very well, hers also, you will get that without any especial effort on your part, and that is about all you may expect to get without effort. “It’s not philanthropy, but it’s business.” Is not strict business after all the best philanthrophy? Is not justice the best form of charity? Whenever an incompetent man holds a position in this world because of charity, a competent man is kept out of that position, and right here an injustice is done, which is uncharit able to the competent man. Besides this, the service rendered by the in competent man effects the world, whether that position be a public po sition or what is known as a private position. All positions now are more or less public. A railroad employee in any capacity serves the public; so does a bank clerk, a commercial salesman, a bookkeeper, a printer, a hack-driver, a teacher, a stenogra pher, a mill president, a street sweep er. When, because of favoritism or charity or philanthropy, an incompe tent persons, who needs the job is given one of these positions, the pub lic suffers the consequence, and for one person who is treated charitably there are numbers of people upon whom are visited injustice and uu- charitableness. Moreover, examine this “charity” as it affects the in competent person himself. He does not know he is incompetent and tnat he is hence imposing upon the public. He bas a place somewhere in the world which he is competent to fill but be does not seek it because your ‘ charity” bas deceived him and be thinks he has found bis place already. Alas also I Some day there will be an awakening, and the last end of that man will be worse than the first. A wise parent in the long ago about to die called his sous to him and told them that if they would dig dili gently in a vineyard he was about to leave them they would find a valu able treasure. Eagerly they dug day after day alid month after month un til after a while the vises began to wax strong and healthy and to bear abundant and marketable fruit. The young men became strong and heal thy and imbued with habits of indus try and sobriety. Thus they found their treasure in a way and in a form they least expected. How much the present day is in need of such wis dom ! No more valuable a legacy can a father leave his son than the training in habit* of hard and if need be disagreeable work. The greatest curse a father can leave a son is money with a Knowledge of its abuses rather than a knowledge of its uses, and a distaste for the responsibilities which money entails. A young man with or without money must earn his career. If he is made of the right kind of material, happy is he if he have not to earn his money first, for then he can begin by earning hie ca reer, hut if he lacks thrift, good judgment, and habits of sobriety, let him thank an all wise Providence wbicb'compels him to earn first bis own character while making a living. Alas, and how few rich men’s sons seem “made out of the right kind of material.” If we may be excused for taking a small liberty with the holy scriptures let us say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man’s son to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Yet it is possible. So let a young man learn to “get out and hustle,” whether he be rich or whether he be poor. A wise father will take pains that bis son find this necessary. The world owes no man anything except what he earns, and whether this be a useful career or a good swift kick, a man will sooner or later get it regardless of what money his father started him with. It Is not philanthropy but ' business that after all rules tbe'world, and to our thinking business is after all the best philanthropy. THINGS THEATRICAL.

This city is extensively billed and advertised for the appearance on to morrow night at the Star Theatre of Richards & Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels. The managers have wisely discard ed all the old worn-out features. No more will we hear “Almighty Dollar” or “Jennie” and “The Turkey Ftast,” which should have been shelved long ago; no more will we see a person trying to get a laugh by re moving twenty vests. The personnel of the organization is made up of bright young men of talent, the only ones retained from last season being Kraton, the mar velous Hoop Controller; Simpson & Pittman, musical experts; Dudley & Kelley, Clarence Powell and the tough “Jim Jackson,” who will this year make a visit to the “Policy Shops.” The new features are “Boomsky” in Illusions; the Three Toneys, acrobats; Cooper and bis walaing and talking figures and six of the highest salaried singers ever with a minstrel show, and at least a dozen new come dians, prominent among whi.-h is Emraeit Davis, Bunk Campbell and Chas. Scott. The company carries two big bands under the direction of FrauK Clare mont. The towns and cities visited last season by Richards & Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels were sur prised at the superior entertainment given by this organization. The press and public were quick to show theii appreciation, and the coming of this popular organization is always bailed with delight by lovers of oid-time minstrelsy, as the performance ap proaches nearer to what made the minstrels so popular. The manager of the local play house is also glad to see the “Georgias” make their an nual visit, as it means a full house and big box office receipts. The word is passed along the line that the show put up by these sons of Ham excels anything ever seen by this or similar organizations. The public will see the most expen sive colored show ever organized. If any doubts of the absolute truthful ness of this statement exists it will be forever dispelled when the per formance is given. It must be confessed now that there were doubts in the minds ot the management about their being able to make the giving of so vast aod ex pensive show with any profit, and as a matter of fact the business ordi narily done by other shows would not have been profitable, but it was im mensely profitable, and packed houses rule everywhere. The program is a lengthy one, and made up of great variety. The street parade at noon is a novelty, two bands in daily parade. MIhh I’ercy Hattwell Id ‘'The Favor of The Uoeen.” There is an intricacy of detail about the moderu stage, and a possibility of getting great effects with scenery, lights, etc., are such that make one marvel at the success of the crude presentations on the stage in Shake speare's time. Few theatre-goers of today can imagine what the stage of that time was. In this connection the stage of Shakespeare’s Curtain Theatre in Southwark, with its pri mal investiture, as shown faithfully and accurately in the first act of “The Favor of the Queen” which Miss Percy Haswell will play at the Star Theatre on October 30th is in teresting. This reproduction is ab solutely accurate, being made iu fact from an old print. It shows the boxes surrounding the stage, the two posts, close together with a rope on which the curtain was hung, with the only two entrances which were pos sible of, use. Incidentally Shake speare himself is shown in his own theatre. There is not in existence one authentic picture of the master of all literature, Shakespeare. Generally, however, the idea of Shakespeare is of a man rather tall, with a long face, curling almost red hair, and a pointed beard. This therefore has been the model which George Schraeder, who appears as Shake speare in “The Favor of the Queen,” has followeg in bis “make up.” The result is striking in the extreme, the figure and face of the master being instantly recognized in a crowd on the stage in the first act. Roy S. Sensabaugb, author of “The Favor of the Queen,” is a youth of only twenty-two years, hence the sensational hit which this play made on the occasion of its first presenta tion in Baltimore seems all the more remarkable. Mr. Sensabaugb is a native of Knoxville, Tenn., where his family lives at present. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Daily Post says: “Excellent performance at the Rosslyn Theater. Shakespeare’s im mortal tragedy of love and passion, ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ was presented last evening at the Rosslyn Theatre by the Simvelle Company and in spite of the Inclement weather drew a very large and renresentatlve au dience. The acting was splendid, especially the work of Louis M. Mor- telle as‘Romeo,’Miss Louise Clarke as ‘Juliet’ and Herbert De Guerre as Friar Lawrence.’ The support was good and the performance, on the whole, much appreciated. The com pany appears tonight at the Strath- oona Theatre, North Sydney, and will have the honor of opening this first-class amusement house. Un doubtedly it ylll prove a big draw Ing card as It Is a company worthy of good patronage.” Date of Sept. 22nd, 1903. The "Middleton Stock Oo.,” whose clever performances of last season are such a pleasant memory to the patrons of the theatre, will be seen here next week, on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This com pany bas several new plays in its repertoire; now specialties will be in troduced between acts. The “Mid dleton Stock” is getting good notices all along the line, and will undoubt edly prove as great favorites in Gaff ney as they were last season. Where Cotton Munufacturea Went. LBy Walter J.

The stomach fails to digest all the food, and the residue ferments, forming ex cess of gas, distends thej|wails of the stomach, causing a pressure on the nerves and arteries that lead to the heart. This causes the heart to pal pitate or skip a beat occasionally, or both, which is usually very alarming, causing grave apprehensions. Ry- dales Stomach Tablets will prevent this trouble. They digest the food and prevent gass from forming in the stomach. If there is no gas in your stomach your heart will not trouble you—Gaffney Drug Co. DUpeiiHitry Closed.

RYDALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR ZM’A.L-A.IRIA.. It has recently been discovered th t the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
