Baslness and Philanthropy.
[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.

Keep Your Eyes on This Column If You
Want to be Posted.
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.

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble is almost always
caused by stomach trouble. 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.

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.
