We run stand a little nioro of tho name sort of sassin?. I have told the cashier that you will draw thirty a week after this, and I want you to have a nice suit of clothes made and send the hill to the old man. Get some thlng that won't keep people guessing whother you follow tho horses or do buck nud wing dancing for a living. Your taste in clothes seems to be last ing longer than the rest of your col lego education. You looked like a young widow who had raised the second crop of daisies over the deceased when you were In here last week. Of course clothes don't make the man, but they make all of him except his hands nnd face during business hours, and that's a pretty considerable area of tho human animal. A dirty shirt may hide a pure heart, but It sel dom covers a clean skin. If you look as 1/ you had slopt In your clothes, most people will Jump to the conclusion that you have, and you will never get to know them well enough to explain that your head Is so full of noble thoughts that you haven't time to both er with the dandruff on your shouldors. And If you wear blue and white striped pants and n red necktie you will find It difficult to get close onough to a dea con to he Invited to say graco at bis ta ble, even If you never play for any thing except coffee or beans. Appearances are doceitful, I know, but so long as they arc there's nothing like having them dccelvo for us in stead of against uh. Fvo scon a 10 cent shave and a 5 cent shine get a thousand dollar Job and a cigarette and a pint of champagne knock the hottom out of a million dollar pork corner. Four or five years ago llttlo Jim Jackson had tho bears in tho pro vision pit hibernating and living on their own fat till one morning, the day after he had run tho price of mess pork up to $20 nnd nailed it there, Borne ono saw him drinking a small bottle just hefore he wont on 'change and told It around among the brokers on the floor. The bears thought Jim must have had bad news to be bracing up at that time in tho morning. So they perked up and everlastingly sold tho mess pork mnrket down through tho bottom of the pit to solid earth. There wasn't even a grease spot left of that corner when they got through. As It happened, Jim hadn't bad any bad nowfl. He Just took the drink be cause he felt pretty good nnd things were coming his way. ADVICE TO BOYS Gel the Primary Business Virtues Into Your Character <fr-* Boys are constantly writing me for advice about how to succeed, nud when I send them my receipt they say that I am dealing out commonplace generali ties. Of course I am, but that's what tho receipt calls for, and if n boy will take these commonplace generalities and knead them into his Job the mix ture '11 bo cake. Once a fellow's got the primary busi ness virtues cemented Into his charac ter he's safe to build on. But when a clerk crawls Into the office In the morn lug like a sick setter pup and leaps from his stool at night with the spring of a tiger I'm a little afraid that If I sent him to take charge of a branch house he wouldn't always bo around when customers were. He's the sort o a chap who would hold back the su an hour every morning and have i gain two every afternoon if the Lort would give him the same discretionary powers that he gave Joshua. And 1 have noticed that he's the fellow who Invariably takes a timekeeper as an In sult. He's pretty numerous In business offices; in fact, if the glance of the hu man eye could affect a clock face in tho samo way that a man's country cousins affect their city welcome I should have to buy a new timepiece fo. the otllco every morning.?From "Let tors From a Self Made Merchant to His Sou," by Qeorgo Horace Lorimer.

Effect of Continued Bad Weather in | Brewerton Neighborhood. Brewkrton, April 22.?Mrs. Mar garet Balentlne, who has been confined to her bed for sometime is up again. Hie farmers are quite busy, some preparing their land, somo planting with a rush. There is a general com plaint of hard land owing to the rains | and winds. The cold snap has mater ially interfered with gardening and the coming up of seeds planted. The] outlook Is rather gloomy. The Easter service held at Har-! mony last Second Sabbath was a suc cess. The children rendered their pieces well. The service was intended as a missionary rally. The contribu tion paid in by the children amounted to $8.00. Our community has a biweekly prayer | meeting, which meets at Harmony every Saturday night-, and one at the several neighbors' houses Wednesday. This certainly speaks well for our peo ple. There was an ordination of two dea-1 cons at Pooler Springs last 3rd Sunday. The deacons ordained were J. P. Sim mons and J. W. Simpson. Charleston and Western Carolina R R.
