(London Tid-Bits.)
A wise mother caught her little hoy
smoking a cigarette the other day.
Instead of inverting him over her
knee and nearly spanking the life out
of him, she said;
“Johnny, dear, I see you are getting
quite a big little man. Come away
in. and I will give you one of papa’s
great big cigars to smoke.”
So she marched Johnny away into
papa’s study and sat him down to
smoke one of papa’s cigars.
She sat down opposite and watched,
while his lips grew white and his
eyes yellow and his hands dropped
helplessly, and as a little later she
ministered to him she had the satis

nromise that he would never, never
smoke again until he was older.
Arrival of Trains.
For the convenience of the people
og Gaffney and vicinity, we publish
below a correct schedule of the ar
rival at Gaffney of the passenger
trains on the Southern railroad:
GOING SOUTH
.No. 39 arrives at..' 9:10 A. M.
No. 37 arrives at 10:57 A. M.
No. 11 arrives at 2:52 P. M.
No. 97 arrives at 6:43 P. M.
No. 35 arrives at 11:50 P. M.
GOING NORTH
No. 36 arrives at 7:22 A. M.
No. 12 arrives at 4:40 P. M.
No. 38 arrives at 6:43 P. M.
No. 40 arrives at 8:30 P. M.
No. 97 is a mail train only, and Nos.
37 and 38 are “the vestibules;” and
none of the three stops at Gaffney.
All the others make regular stops.
Mail is sent from Gaffney on ail
trains except Nos. 97, 39 and 40, and
is received from all except Nos. 39
and 40. The mails close at the post-
office thirty minutes before each train
is due to arrive.
| altitudes and under certain atmos-
; pheric conditions, snow evaporates so
rapidly that it cannot accumulate.
Taking the above quotation in a
figurative sense, there is also one ex-
, ception. There is such a thing as
living above suspicion. It is possible
for a person, by a life work of con-
j secrated effort and prudence, to
reach an attitude on the mountain of
| human attainment where the “snow
! and clouds” of censure and abuse
evaporates as fast as uttered by his
adversaries, and he may he enabled
to look down upon all attacks against
his reputation with perfect serenety.
However, both the literal and figura
tive exceptions herein depicted are
I conspicuous by their scarcity. When
a man launches his ship upon the
j ocean of worldly ambition, seeking
dominion over his fellowmen, he is
1 sure to meet with a conglomerated
; mass of praise and honor, on the one
| hand, and censure and abuse on the
other. The calm belts are detrimen

within their borders
for many days. Just so it is on the
tide of worldly distinction, the sailor
must beware of tho calm belts.
While in the trade winds of public
j praise, constant action is the only
I means of success—stagnation in
i death.
On the other hand distinction
| should be the watch-word rather than
haste. On the race-track of human
endeavor, the fleetest runner does
not always win the prize—a constant
and prudential plodding is essential
to ultimate success. But few r of the
really great men of the world attri
bute their success to brilliancy and
j are very modest concerning their
wonderful achievements. Mrs. Het-
j ty Green, the richest woman in the
world, doesn’t seem to consider her
career as being in the least unreason
able. About seven or eight years
ago, in the midst of the hard times,
she was worth perhaps $50,000,000
(fifty million). Her income was es
timated to he $5,000 a day, and since
then she has prospered with the
country and what she is worth today
no one hut herself knows. She deals
in stocks and bonds and few are the
men who can equal her in a business
deal. However, she doesn’t believe
in speculation and trios to steer clear
of Wall street. She makes a special
; study of stocks, their history, their
dividend—paying possibilities and
, what they have sold for in the past.
How well she has mastered her busi
ness her success is explanation
| enough. Mr. Frank G. Carpenter,
special correspondent of the St. Louis
j Republic, in an interview with Mrs.
Green enquired concerning the secret
1 of her success. Tie received the fol-
I lowing reply: “I cannot say, save
that I have tried to use common sense
1 in my business. Before deciding up
on an investment I have sought out
i every source of information, and have
1 acted only when 1 knew the facts.
There is no secret in fortune making.
Success is based upon the principle of
buying when things are cheap and
! selling when they are dear. When
| good'things are so low that no one
wants them I buy them and lay them
away in the safe, and when, owing to
some new developement, they go up
! and my shares are so needed that
men will pay well for them, I am
ready to sell.’ This substantuates
our assertion that success lies in dis- the
cretlon rather than haste and it fur-
| nishes a striking illustration of the
: possibilities in the reach of our
j American women. As time passes
on women are becoming more and
; more interwoven in the professional
and industrial pursuits of this great
land of the free. Women are rapidly
| taking the places of men as book
keepers, stenographers and type
writers. Perhaps this is as it should
lie. There is one advantage in regard
to this that is generally overlooked,
which lies in the fact that the male
employees will he inspired to greater
efforts when they realize that their
principal competitors are not with
i each other but with the fair sex. But
3
and circumstances as these that a !
Rood business education is indispen-
sihle. It is a great relief to a wo
man’s sorrow for her to be enabled I
to rely upon her own efforts and |
judgmtnt in the securing of a liveli
hood. It is a great consolation for
her to realize that she many look the
business world square in the face—
that she is capable of successfully
competing with her rivals. But this
does not detract one mile from the
assertion that the homo is the sphere
of woman. Perhaps at no time was
the business world more alive with
competition than it is today. And
men who figure as a type of perfect
gallantry in society seem to throw off
all restraint when they enter their
business office and feel no remorse of
conscience in taking advantage of a
rival, whether it he a man or a wo
man. While woman can adopt her
self to all the walks of life, yet, it is
unwise for her to enter the business
arena from choice. Perhaps a little
incident, (which is true), might here
he produced as an illustration
of this fact. A certain memehr of a
certain church was before the con
ference on the charge of fighting.
When he was called upon for his ver
sion of the matter, he rose to his feet
and said: “Bro moderator, I plead
guilty to the charge. I don’t deny
fighting a little hut with me it was
more a case of compulsion than I
choice.” It is hardly necessary to!
add that the church reconsidered the
case and bore with him—it would
have added insult to injury had they 1
withdrawn fellowship from him.
Lofty asperations and an earnest de
sire to he self-reliant is commendible
in the fair sex but she should exhibit
the latter qualification. It Is not only
woman’s privilege hut her duty to
engage in religious enterprise. Wo
man can reach a higher state of per
fection and sink to a lower state of
shame than man. A mean woman is
the worst thing in the world hut all
will agree that a good woman is the
noblest work of God. Therefore, it is
here manifest duty to let her light
so shine that the world around her
will be illuminated by her Christ-like
example and Christian influence.
However, personally, we do not be-
live the pulpit is Included in her
sphere of religious activity. We be
lieve in women’s societies to a cer
tain extent hut we don’t believe in
relieving the pastor of his just duties
and turning the church into a money
making machine. A woman preacher
and a woman political demagogue
have missed their calling. However,
Hie nation will very greatly profit by
adhering to the timely suggestions
on important national issues given by
our great great American female
writers. Women should he patriotic
as well as men, hut their course of
action is not, and should not be
indetical. Patriotism such as was
:naritested by the wives, mothers and
sisters, of this dear old Southland
during the rise and fall of the South
ern Confedracy is unsurpassed in the!
annuals of history. Now tliait the i
nation is at peace with her world
and ail sections reunited, woman's;
greatest patriotism lies not toward he-;
coming a Catherine the Great hut, in
the rearing of noble sons and daugh-1
ters to the perpetuity of American j
honor and liberty. But what does it i
take to constute an honor? The abode
of a multi-millionaire may he only his
hoarding house compared with what
a home should he. Lets behold him,
in immaginary vision, for a moment,
as he leaves his office at the close of
day and passes by on his way to the
magnificent structure he calls home.
His financial standing is perfect and
his stocks and bonds are paying hand
some dividens—more than he can
spend, much less the principal—and
now that he has closed the door on
the business world for the day, why
does he look so sad? Why does he
saunter along with a listless step,
manifesting no signs of joy that the
Jay’s work is done? He passes along
walk and up the marble steps
and—now we reach a phase in the
narrative, which may he seen by the
mind’s eye but which would require
a far more skilled writer than we to
describe. Suflce it to say that the
rooms of his home shine with glitter
ing splendor and all the different ap-
partments are furnished with the
most exquisite taste and magnifi
cence. The butler, dressed in gor
geous livery, escorts him to his ap
partment. He has a score of servant
to do his utmost bidding. Why is lie
not happy? H. M.

Mr. Wm. R. Lipscomb Tells of a Trip
to Polk County.
Ed. Ledger:—Believing that my
friends would like to hear the result
of our big hunt in Polk county. North
Carolina, I will try to give them &
brief sketch of our trip, &e.
We left Gaffney Tuesday, the 17th
of January, and stayed all night with
G. W. Bonner. Mr. Bonner lives at
home and boards at the same place.
But we found him with the “sore
head,” as we found many others who
had their cotton on hand. Mr. Bon-j
ner has twenty-six halos of cotton un- i
sold, and I counted twenty-six bee:
stands, eight young hogs and two big,
far hogs in tho pen yet to kill. I
was somewhat surprised to find him
with the sore head on account o? not
having sold his cotton at 10 cents per
pound. lie is one of the many who
is able to hold his cotton until it will
pay to raise it. We saw cotton piled
up all along the roads to the moun
tains, and some in the fields not
picked out.
Well, we had a bully drive up. I
suppose we travelled two miles an
hour. I had to sing to keep from
saying bad words. We found lodging
that night, after being turned away
several times and traveling in the
night by moonshine; and our supper
was roast potatoes, roasted in the
ashes. I was very thankful to get
them. Next morning we had a good
breakfast. After breakfast we start-'
ed out for the ’possums, and bless
your soul, we couldn’t find one. So
we put out for Columbus, the county
seat of Polk county, North Carolina.
We arrived there just at 12 o’clock M.
We went to the hotel, where we had
a fine dinner, good enough for Booker
T. Washington, or any other Washing
ton.
And here my chum left me; said
he was going home to see his wife. I
told him there were just as pretty wo-1
men in Polk county as his wife; hut he
left me right there In rain and mud, red
mud at that, and sticky. But I got
home before he did. I st lyed all night
at the hotel and left next morning
with the mail rider on a one-horse
wagon for Tryon station, and got
breakfast there, and arrived in Spar
tanburg at 10 o’clock; : tayed at Spar
tanburg xix hours and left at 4:40
P. M., amvlng in Gaffney at 5:25. I
suppose Bonner got home by 121
o’clock that night with his fine trav-:
eling mule.
Well, what did I see while gone?
I saw cotton bales piled up all along 1
the road and some in the fields not
picked out. My farmer friends, don’t ;
burn your cotton, as I think it wicked
to do so. Just let it stay out exposed
to the weather as it is and it will
soon rot, and you will he saved burn- i
ing it, and Killing it, too.
We went after ’possums and got !
honey; ft is sweet, too.
I conversed on tho train with a New ,
York man. He said he was looking'
for 4 cents cotton. I told hint some !
fool might sell his cotton for 4 cents,!
but I thought there would be but few
of them.
Farmers, hold your cotton for 8
cents; dont sell it below 8 cents unless
you owe it in debts. If you do, sell
and pay your debts.
I saw on the train eight or ten fam
Hies from Haywood and Madison
counties, North Carolina, going to the
factories at Lockhart and Pacolet.
Mr. Page, a New Yorker, during
our war was in a regiment of 1500
men when they first went out to war,
and returned home after the war with
300 men, his company with only three
men. That was trimming them pretty
close. He is now living at Columbus-
N. C.; been there fourteen years arid
married Noah Hill’s daughter. He was
on Morris Island, and he said many
died ther’e of bloody flux. The water,
he said, was very bad. He was at. the
“blow-up” at Petersburg, and said the
officers were drunk. He said if they
had made a charge they would have cap
tured it; if they had charged just af
ter the explosion. He said our troops
just slatightered them there; negro
troops in front. There were many
killed there with the bayonet.
1 hope Bonner got home all right.
