We wish that a Confederate monu ment were erected in every public place in the South. One hundred and fifty years from now the history of the Con federacy will not be fresh in the ears of the children. Even the youngsters of the present generation have not that understanding of and sympathy with the motives which caused their fathers and mothers to make unmeasured sac rifices in the great struggle for liberty which those brought-up 20 years ago have. It is hard for us who am older to understand how the passing of time dims the view of events and ob scurcs their true outlines to the eyes of the little ones. We hear a great deal about tho need for school books written by Southern men and it is not overestimated, but a monument to the Confederate dead on our Public Square would be of more value than a history written by a Southern man and studied in the Laurens schools, for as long as the monument should stand it would testify to posterity that the people of Laurens are proud of the record of the county in the Croat War. The building of this monument is a duty which we cannot avoid and we hope that the necessary money will be contributed promptly and willingly. A SOUTHKRN MAGAZINE. Joel Chandler Harris, the author of "Uncle Remus," has established a magazine in Atlanta called "Uncle Remus." It is published monthly, it is illustrated and the subscription price is only one dollar a year. It is in every way as excellent as any of the North ern magazines; it is in no sense a cheap, second class publication and its contents are written by authors of stand ing in the literary world. It is, so far as we know, the only Southern maga zine that has been founded in many years which aspires to a high place in contemporary literature. Southern writers, such as Mr. Harris, Thomas Nelson Page, Harry Stillwell Edwards, Miss Glasgow and others of the first class have been compelled heretofore to seek Northern avenues for the pub lication of their work and it should be a matter of pride to every Southerner that a magazine now exists through which the distinctive literature of the South may be given to the reading world. We wish that every family In Laur ens able to subscribe to any magazine would, before taking any other, send a dollar to "Uncle Remus," Atlanta. As everybody knows, it is a big undertak ing to maintain a literary magazine except in the largest cities, the centers of the advertising business, but this one in Atlanta can be made a success if it shall receive the patriotic, support that it richly deserves from the South ern people. A well-to-do man who would like to help in upholding the honor of the Southern country could do it in no more effective way than by subscribing for a number of the magazines for his friends. Five dollars would fcive it to live families. TO WIN SHOULDER STRAPS. The following suggestive extract is from a letter in the New York World: "Under the above heading appears in your issue of Sept. 20 a letter from 'Eight Till Six' complaining that the young men of our times look for easy hours. While no doubt there is room for such complaints, 1 am only one of many on the other side, having honestly and conscientiously spent my ten best years in the belief he expresses?that i.i, 'looking forward, sticking to the position, always placing the concern's interest above my own.' "I have been first in the morning and last at night, even taking work home. I have in some cases stopped, in other cases prevented, leaks and irregularities in different forms, thereby saving many thousands of dollars, all in the belief that serving my employers well would Ining its reward. Instead, I am after all this time getting only $25 per week, although the linn will readily admit I am valuable. But when an opening for a better position occurs it is always for some relative or friend of some of the members of the firm. Now the ques tion nrises, What am I to do?" The trouble with this middle-aged man is that he lacks pluck. There are many like him he signs his letter "One of Many." A young fellow working on a salary strives to do his utmost for the firm. He takes for granted that the firm will promote him and finally make him a member of the firm perhaps; but that does not always happen. "One of Many" fears to ask a raise of salary lest he be told to leave. Then what should he do? If he is tho right sort, he will start a firm of his own. If be is the right sort, (it seems that this man has not saved a dollar) he has ahead saved a little money something from his salary every year. This he will use in starting a business. If it is not enough to begin with in New York, ho will carry his family to Doko or Roundtop or some other village where he may rent a house for $15 or $20 a month and where a shop may bo estab lished for $500 or $10,000. Roundtop perhaps has no theater or steam laundry or trolley car lino and Mrs. "One o** Many" simply can't bear the idea of living there. Perhaps that is what is the matter with the husband, who con sents to remain in New York*fjP$lea8c. his wife, so that she can low up at the forty-four story buildings lad proiuji tell her country kin BUUJfl^HHfh though she can ne/er >, i l.rii ,'v in one of them and the cracker cousin at least has a small farm or cottage in the little town?"a poor thing, but min? own." Thousands of the most valuable and faithfui employees drudgo out their lives because they are afraid of Satur day nights. In other words, they shrink from the responsibility of running a business themselves because they don't dare suffer the wear and tear of getting together the money to payoff the hired men, the employees. That is what the "firm" has to do: it is the firm's busi ness to see that there is plenty in the drawer to pay "One of Many" and all of his thousands of brothers and cousins and sisters and sons and daughters, so that their families may have beefsteak for breakfast during the coming week. The men who boss this world are those that rely on themselves and cut loose, who wade through the morasses and who sweat and bleed, that Brown, Smith and Jones and the rest may have no harder problem to solve than so di viding $25 a week that the strips will cover the bills of the school-book seller, the butcher, tho milliner, the shoe man, and the grocer and settle the life insurance premium, usually thirty days after it is due. It is a safe bet that "One of Many" is behind on his pastor's salary. The pastor is the man he depends on for Christian burial. Many of the bold spirits who are not "One of Many" fail but thousands are capable of succeeding for themselves who from week to week postpone cut ting loose because, down in their hearts, they want the "firm" to bear that fear ful burden of anxiety involved in pay ing the salaries and keeping the con cern going. Most men who are born to be captains in this country of limitless opportunities get their shoulder straps?by fighting f,or them. A Utile talk to the Boys. Sarodel's solution of the problem, "Why Boys Leave the Farm," was sat isfactory in the case of small boys. They ought to be encouraged, as he says, but at a very early age. I think after they 1 reach young manhood they leave for various reasons; some have ability that would never bo rewarded on the farm, and they know it. Others leave as if to escape something work, those who have a wandering disposition, I suppose to see the world. It is all very good and should not be looked upon with alarm, as it enables them to know them selves; to know what they are best fitted for. The world is the best school there is: if one does not learn before, he will when he is thrown in his own resources away from home. I sometimes think if a boy was made to leave home when he reaches the age of, say about 18, it would be good for him, especially if he was apprenticed at some good trade. In the South the lack of Emigrants is one cause of our boys migrating to town' Our fast growing towns have nothing to feed on but the youngsters of the country. It was ever so and ever will be so until our statesmen secure (migra tion. However, a boy should consider well before he gives up the old farm. It is the best place of all. It is well to go and try other things and discover, if possible, what suits you best. By all means learn yourself; discover every weakness, and begin as soon as discovered to remedy and strengthen the weakness. There is a remedy for all things, and remember that "no man is stronger than his weak est point." If you have any nerve sapping habits, for your own sake leave them off. You have oidy to will strong enough and you can accomplish any thing. Hut don't think small of the old farm. Right there is happiness health and wealth too -if industry and up-to-date methods go hand in hand. On a good old farm is a glorious place to live close to nature?God's own sanitarium. -A. B.

In its daily consular and trade re port of Wednesday the department of commerce and labor at Washington says: "Consul John L. Griffith writes that prominence has been given in the Liv erpool newspapers to an announcement of the sale on that market of a sample of five bales of Indian 'Spence cotton' at 15 cents per pound. The consul sends the following on this subject concerning which considerable has been printed from consuls in India: " 'The sample cf cotton referred to is the result of three years' experimenst with an indigenous Indian cotton by J. R. Spence, formerly a member of the Liverpool Cotton association. The product is stated to be strong and wiry, with a staple of 1 to 1 1-4 inches in length. It is suggested that the sale of the sample of "Spence cotton" at the price named indicates important possibilities in the vast cultivable area of India. A local paper says: " ' "There are now considerably over 20,000 trees on Mr. Spence's plantation at Deesa, Bombay presidency, In a most flourishing condition growing to a height of from 6 to 7 feet, full of buds and bolls and bearing cotton daily. The yield of the first year has proved to be 2 1-2 ounces per tree, and as there are over 5,00 trees to the acre, thia gives as the first year's yield 800 pounds per acre. The second year's crop has proved double that of the first, and it increases every year." " 'This cotton it is claimed is able to withstand long periods of drought, and has so far escaped the ravages of the troublesome boll worm. This In dian cotton tree docs not appear to require much attention after it has been once planted, and it grows to a height of 0 or 7 feet. Its greatest pro duction is in its third year. An effort s now being made in Eng/and to orga nize a company for the production and oxploitation of this cotton.'

Lord Lytton speaks of a man who was "uglier than he had any business to be," and if he could but read it every human being carries life in his face, and is good looking or tho reverse as has life has been good or,evil. On our features the fine chisels of life and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and pink and white maids.
