To be happy without the counting of dollars or conveniences; to be cheer ful in the scowling face of adversity; to be content upon whatsoever little; to free the mind from all oppressing thoughts and till it with merry cheer? this is the Song of Joy that themes its way Into the palace and the hut, nor heeds the strongest barrier of ill-ortune. To be lovely within, regardless of all sights and sounds without?this is the peace that passeth understanding. And for the compensation of the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind, it has been ordained that this great thing shall come into their lives more of ten than it comes into the lives of the outwardly fortunate. It can be neither bought nor sold. It is a matter of the heart. But, notwithstanding these things, such happiness as this Is only possible to those whose heart-strings are sweetly tuned. To imagine a Nero happy in his murders is to insult the dear sentiment of joy by classing It with revelry and hilarious gloating. True happiness conies only to those who wish mankind well. Go out, of a summer's sunrise, to the farm on the hillside, and you shall hear the voices of rough singers who have caught the melodies of the morn ing stars. Go back to the tenements, and from a little cottage set between two factories there will come to your ears the untuned Song of those who toil. Go into any spot where men live simply, and you shall have news of those, rare souls whose minds, being toughened to the world's hardness, are softened to its pleasantness; for In them the spirit of joy has freed itself from the tinsel of its ordinary body setting, to revel unforbidden in the mind. They think themselves happy; therefore, they are happy. They have, without price, a greater joy than men may pay for. GREE N YV 0 01) M A (?IST B A TK. House Passes, Measure Over Veto of Gov. Blease. The veto message on the bill giv ing W. 11. Kerr, magistrate at Green wood, his back salary, was sent to the house from the senate last night and became a law over the governor's veto. Mr. Magill wanted the vetoed bill referred to a committee. In order, he said, that he might make a statement. He said the Greenwood magistrate case was now before the supreme court. Mr. Nicholson asked the house to vote on the vetoed bill at once. Ho de clared that W. H. Kerr. a Confederate veteran, had served as magistrate and should be paid, in spite of the fact j that Gov. Blease had seen fit to over l ride the recommendation ,of the dele gation and had tried to put in an other man. Mr. Magill spoke again along the same lines as in his first speoch. Mr. Bowers leclared that Magis rate Kerr had earned his wages. A >sJority of the delegation wanted him paid. He asked for immediate action. Mr. Nicholson declared that the su preme court was considering whether or not the other claimant to the of fice was entitled to the salary he clnimed. The court was not passing on Magistrate Kerr, yet Mr. Magill asked the house to wait on the de cision, which had nothing to do with the question. The governor had not treated the Confederate soldiers in Greenwood county fairly, but had trampled down the law because Magistrate Kerr had the good fortune, or the bad fortune, not to support in the last election his excellency. Magistrate Kerr had served faithfully. At least two ac tions at law had been brought to oust him, but both had failed, said Mr. Nicholson. And now an effort was being made to delay paying the old Confederate veteran his just dues. The people of Greenwood were satis fied with his services. Over 400 of them had signed a petition asking the delegation to appoint him. The house refused to refer the vetoed bill and message to a commit tee as Mr. Magill of Greenwood re quested. By a vote of 88 to 10 the house passed the bill over the governor's veto, and it became a law, "the veto of his excellency to the contrary not withstanding."
