WilkinsviUe. .Ian. -—Tho holidays
have passed and the season tor hap
py family reunions are at an end for
the present, and many of them for
ever. There is no joy but for which
there is a corresponding sorrow.
Such is life and such are its casual
ties. All our pleasures are in the
end overshadowed with troubles,
trials and difficulties. To this, or
with this, there is no exception—all
fare alike, but some have a better
way to conceal their emotions than
others—that is all the difference.
With your correspondent this holi
day season has been anything but an
enjoyable one and he envies, in some
respects, those with whom it has been
otherwise if of a legitimate character.
The new year is with us now re
solves and pledges for better doing
and better living is upon us only to
be carried out in the oft repeated
way. We hope, however, for better
things. Wo wish all our readers a
happy year and one full of pros
perity.

Sells Out.
J. M. Goldman, of the New York
and St. Louis Consolidated Salvage
Co. has bought the entire stock of
merchandise of the Peoples Deimrt-
ment store In GreenviHe, S. C.. and
will Inaugurate a grand carnival sale
beginning Wednesday, January 9 at
9 o'clock and lasting for 16 days.
They will include the entire stock'
in this sale and will be sold at 27c
on the dollar, which will enable ev
erybody to buy their needs for a
whole year. Mr Owens has pur
chased a beautiful home in Atlanta
and will make that city his residing
place from now on. His family has
left this city for their new home and
Mr Owens will follow shortly as he is
detained here owing to some im
portant business necesary to wind
up before leaving. In selling this
stock to the New York and St Louis
Consolidated Salvage Co., Mr. Owens
made explicit mention that this sal
vage company must not remove this
stock from Greenville until they have
first Inaugurated a sale here and
given the people of Greenville and
surrounding country the benefit of
the low prices that merchandise will
be sold.
The advertising for this grand car
nival sale has been started and we
can say that this is the best adver
tised sale ever held in Greenville or
in the South. Thousands of dollars
av* being spent for advertising and
all this Is a slight insight of what
this sale will actually be. The only
wav to get. at its magnitude is to at
tend it and witness it with your own
eyes.
The Peoples store building will be
all decorated in black so that no one
can mistake the place. Banners and
signs will indicate where the greatest
sale of merchandise is being held—
look for them . A very unique idea
of Mr. Goldman, a member of this
salvage company, will be to throw
off of the Peoples store building ab
solutely free to everybody a quanity
of men’s and women • wearing a|>-

many as can arrange should he ores-

What They Should Do To Promote
Their Scholars.
Editor Ledger:—While I am doz
ing bv a comfortable fire during the
holidays, allow me to make a few re
marks on teachers and their work
Let me urge the fathers and moth
ers to encourage and develop the im
agination of their children, push the
children and make them feel their
duty, and appreciate their teacher’s
kindness.
Teachers, we are not wide enough
awake to the fact, that very nearly
all the nation is to be depends upon
our work. When we pass a fine or
chard we cannot fail to think kindly
of the one who planted it: so we
teachers are planting for the future.
All persons of value to humanity in
the next generation will owe in
spiration to home one of us. We are
planters of ideas: we train the
mind: we encourage the childish in
tellect, and the credit will be ours.
Do let us above all things encourage
the imagination of the boy and girl.
Don’t let their minds develop a nar
row channel: teach them to reach
out and -try to gain higher things.
Remember that as the public school
represents the essential element of
republican government, so we are
the custodians of freedom- in the
mxt generation and the oolitical
teachers of the child. Auove all
teach the child the part that this
country plays and that it should play
among all nations We must advance
and not fall back in the least.
Remember that mere spelling and
ciphering Is not the greatest knowl
edge by far. but the important study
for human beings is humanity itself.
Let us nut forth a strong effort to
impress the boys and girls, even
the small ones, the great truth and
love of God. Do not forget that the
fruit is in the tiny tree which we
plant, sure the whole future is in
the brain sand imagination of those
children that sit before us. Ours is
an unappreciated task, our work is
the most trying that people do. Just
think how many expect us to have
with dozens of children the natieroo
and love that Hu fat' . .id motki r
show to two or three
We till know that in 'iiu nan brains
thotv is unlimited pos u'ni'.i.ii s >.o
know not what ma.v develop, or the
dull face that looks up it ns am!
ee’r.s so stupid way afford tla*
brain for some of our greatest in
ventors The work that we have to
go through witii in the schoo! room
is wearing on tin* nerves and tries
us in so many ways.
Children should he taught to read
with imagination. A great man has
said that a teach*"* is judged prinei-
pillv by th' ir p" >: s reading: in
telligent readers > the k-ey to
knowledge; so it depends
on our reading
It. is hoped t...-„ v- ,,.iniic iu gen-
Cia) will show appreiation of the
work that we teachers do. 1 find a
lot of pleasure/ in teaching; there is
too little to be gained to receive only
a small salary and gratitude from
only a few parents, my delight is in
seeing anxious waiting minds lifted
higher: it gives me new life to see a
school of Intelligent children busily
engaged on their lessons, trying to
climb round by round.
I think it would stimulate our
schools to have our parents visit us
and ask them for suggestions. After
we have done all we could think of,
perhaps they can think of something
better still. When our trials are
many (as is often the cast* in the
school room) and we are gloomy, it
is such a comfort to have a friend
visit us. who is interested in our
work, and encourage us to push on:
then we feel that we must put
forth another effort stronger than
ever before. Of course it is very
natural for all teachers to think
their school the most Industrious
and obedient, so that is the case
with me; I fee! safe in saying I have
some of the most obedient children
in my school as there is in the conn
ty and for industry and quick wit
they are ready for any undertaking
I am pleased to say my school re
members to be kind to all. to lose no
time studying during school hours,
and one of the grandest things—-to
obey their teacher
MR. R. L. M’MANUS PROMOTED.
The Popular Railroaid Superintend
ent is Now Assistant General
Manager.
The many friends of Mr. F. L. Mc
Manus, the efficient and popular su
perintendent of the Charlotte-Green-
ville Division of the Southern will be
pleased to road the following ac
count of his promotion, which we
take from the Columbia Record of
Tuesday:
P. L. McManus, for several years
division superintendent of the South
ern railway, with headquarters for
some time in Charlotte, but lately in
Greenville, and jurisdiction over the
crowded main lines from Charlotte to
Atlanta, has been appointed assist
ant general manager of the entire
big system, with its four great dis
tricts and twenty-eight operating di
visions. The appointment is effect
ive today. Mr. McManus succeeds
Mr. R. A. Dugan, who recently re
signed to take a high executive po
sition with a big Chicago manufact
uring corporation. The assistant
general manager of the Southern
ranks next to Vice President Ackert,
and is often, for all practical pur
poses, the general manager of the
system. Many departments are en
tirely under his direction, the whole
dining car service being managed by
him. for instance. It carries with fll
a salary commensurate with the re
sponsibilities It Is considered a
high compliment to Mkr. McManus
that the executive officials should
even consider so young a man. Al
though he has been in railroad work
for twenty-six years, Mr. McManus
is still a verv young man. He start
ed his career as a messenger boy In

Healing Medication that is Breathed
Giving Quick Relief.
It seems just as ridiculous to
put medicine into the stomach to
cure a cold in the head or lungs as
it does to go out in the rain if we
want to ke, ;> dry.
The fact that many people right
in Gaffnev cough and hawk and
snuffle for days and weeks after they
treat a cold with the usual stomach
dosing, shows how valueless are the
ordinary cough and co d cures
The right way to cure a cold In
the head or a cough and irritation
in the throat and lungs, is by breath
ing Hyomei’s medicated air. Put a
few drops of Hyotnei in the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit and breathe this healing air
for a few times and immediate re
lief will be noted. The medication
goes right to the spot where the dis
ease germs are located and renders
them harmless in the future.
At the sam time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the ir
ritated mucous membrane give quick
relief, and the cough or cold is bro
ken up.
The best evidence of the great
value of Hyomei in curing coughs,
colds and all bronchial troubles is
the fact that Gaffney Drug Co. give
an absolute guarantee with every
^outfit they sell, that if it does not
give satisfaction, the money will be
refunded.
A complete outfit, consisting of a
bottle of Hyomei, the inhaler and a
medicine dropper, costs but 91, while
extra bottles of Hyomei. if needed,
can be obtained for only 50c.
