Brilliant Young Columbian Killed Himself at Morganton, N. C. Mr. Win. H. Verner, son of Mr. Tno. S. Verner, Master of Richland County, committed suicide at Morganton, N. C, last Thursday afternoon by shooting himself through the right temple. This rash act is supposed to have been due to a nervous attack for which he had been under treatment for sometime in a Philadelphia hospital. He left there, however, and came to Morganton with the viev? of entering one of the hos pitals in that city last Thursday. Late in the afternoon his body was found in a lumber yard. Mr. Verner was an exceedingly bril liant young gentleman. For the past year he had been a student at Oxford University, England, having won the lirst Cecil Rhodes Scholarship from this State. After graduating with high honors from the South Carolina College a few years ago he established the Verner High School in Coiumbia, which was a success. While at the South Carolina College he was a classmate of Messrs E. P. Minter and A. C. Todd of this city, who were greatly shocked at the announcement of young Verner's tragic death. "Stick to Your Last." Hon. W. L. Douglass, the shoe maker Governor, in an interview in the Boston Advertiser some days ago gave his "rule" for success. Governor Douglass is not ashamed of being a shoe maker, because he is a good one and for that very reason he makes a good Governor. Just at this time when so many young men are about to begin life seriously they will do well to read his little ser mon. Taking as a text "Stick to Your Last," he says: "What would you think of a shoe maker, who, after making part of a shoe on one last, became dissatisfied and started another shoe on a different last, keeping up this method until he had finally spent all his money for stock and had nothing but a lot of half-finish ed shoes to show for it? Foolish way to do, isn't it? But it's no more fool ish than for a young man to tackle a new line of business every little while until he grows too old to learn any bus iness thoroughly. Everything in nature is fitted to do one thing well and spend its whole life doing it. You never hear of the ant going into the honey-making business; nor of the bee building ant-hills, for a change. Each one knows its place in the world and sticks to it, and that is what boys must do if they would ac complish great things. And remember always to keep your ambition up to the top notch. What ever you do, try to do it l>etter than the other fellow. At school make it a point to stand at the head of your class; and at play don't be satisfied un til you can jump the farthest or throw the straightest. Then when you enter business life, this matter of getting ahead will become a habit. It is possible for all you boys to be kings, provided each fits himself to do some one thing better than others do it. But you must work and study and persevere. You can't inherit kingships from your fathers; you must win them in competition with the world. As to how to go about this, every boy will have to work out the problem for him self. There is no fixed rule for deter mining the capabilities of any boy, and the methods that will convert one bun dle of human material into a successful business man may prove a total failure when applied to the next parcel. Boys in their dispositions and possibilities bear a striking resemblance to toads. Did you ever poke a toad to make it jump? If you did, then you know that you can never tell what direction or how far toads will jump until after they been poked. And it's the same way with boys. We never know what a boy can do until after he has been tested. But we're sure of one thing, and that is this: If a boy chooses his last in the light of his ability, and sticks to it through thick and thin, he'll win out in the end.'' Furious Fighting. "For seven yeflra," writes Geo. W. Hoffman, of frarpar, Wash., "I had a bitter battle, with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won, and cured my diseases, by the use of Electric Bitters. I unhesitatingly recommend them to all, and don't intend in the fu ture to be without them in my house. They are certainly a wonderful medi cine, to have eure? such a bad case as mine."'

S soldiers who served in Cuba dur ing'the Spanish War know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is only one remedy however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Mumie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a medicine." For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B.

She was in her seventy-ninth year and had lived happily with her husband sixty-two years. Her last sickness lasted only a week and the end came very unexpectedly to her family. As in everything she bore her sickness with great patience. It was indeed a great pleasure to be with her during her ill ness and see her gentle sweet spirit manifested. Her wants were never made known only by inquiry. Mrs. Rasor was a woman of most ex cellent graces of character and was for many years a useful Christian worker in the Baptist Church. She was ever ready to help the poor and needy. And if she had an enemy it has never been known. As wife and mother she was loving and lovable, sparing not herself in her devotion to her family./ As a grand-mother she was devoted and very much loved by all her grand-chiklren, young and old. She loved her church, her family and her God. She leaves her husband, six daughters and three sons to mourn her death. It was just like her to fall asleep, without a struggle and reach Heaven in a single bound to be with two infant children who died in her young woman hood, a devoted daughter, Mrs. 1). R. Joyce, who preceded her only two months ago. May the God of all grace comfort the bereaved family and may there be an unbroken family in our Father's Home. Pastor, Cross Hill, S. C. June 3 -46- It.
