We do not mean that all spare time should he devoted to reading. Life is too short for anyone to make a recluse of himself. It is also too se rious to make a clown of oneself. We would preach the doctrine of devo tion to duty, sandwiched with health ful amusement and temperate living. Engage in sociables, parties, picnics, baseball, tennis, and other healthful outdoor exercise, but do not become a slave to any fad. An hour or two each evening, winter and summer, spent in company with good literaure, is the best food for the brain that can be prescribed. Seek the company of elderly people who have acquired knowledge by reading and traveling, listen attentively to their conversa tion; avoid the association of bois terous Individuals, and, by all means, do not affect an unusual or unnatural manner of speech. Be natural, truth ful and sincere In everything. If. perchance, you make a mistake, and if you are not an unnatural being you will mSkp many, he manly enough to acknowledge your error. There is vastly more honor In acknowledg ing an error than in making a fool of yourself by persistently clinging to it. Remember at all times the Fifth Commandment, and practice it. A traveler stood upon the seashore, and as he sniffed the salt air and watched the white-capped waves toss and roll he said, “How beautiful!” He climbed the mountain summit and watched the orb of day disappear be yond the alps and saw the golden hues reflected against the cerulean heavens, and he exclaimed, “This is the grandest sight I ever witnessed!” But later on he saw a man, learned in letters and comfortable in wealth, who had given up the pleasures of the world that he might add comfort to the declining years of his mother; and as he saw the manly form, erect and graceful , slowly walking the street with the gray-haired vision of loveliness, whose face beamed with the radiance of an angel, clinging to his arm, he said, “There is no more beautiful sight on earth than this!” And he was right. The most beau tiful sight on earth Is a young man or a young woman devoted to father or mother. We don’t believe in that effulgent sentimentality that is only meant for visitors in the home or when in public. The soft, modulated voice when speaking to mother or father is the sweetest sound on earth. Cultivate It, young people. Learn to look over what some people are wonted to call the childishness of old age. Boys and girls, we have said more than we Intended, but we have said it with a heart full of love for the old folks, and because of the intense in terest we have in you. If but one boy or girl who reads The Ledger will have profited by what we have writ ten, our effort will not have been in vain. Be good to the old folks and you will Inherit the promises written in Exodus 20:12. Expanding an Evil. [Spartanburg Journal ] The State dispensary has bought a lot and is going to spread out.

Our paper goes into the best homes in this community. It has been going week after week and year after year until each issue is welcomed as an old friend of the family. The news it brings is news of neighbors, of per sonal affairs in which all have more or less of a com mon interest. If one of our readers called upon you, a merchant, you would do the best you could to con vince him that what you had for sale was the best he could buy. You would show him the new things you had got in recently. You would tell him why he should have them and why they were better than he could procure elsewhere. You probably would make a sale. Your effort, however, would be ooa< timed to one person. You could tell the same story just as effectively to every reader of this paper in each issue.
