The Duty of the Citizen,
In our complex civilization it is
impossible for one man to live entirely
to himself. To make such an
experiment would be to achieve
failure and reap the woes of a sad
experieuce. Inter-relation and inter-dependence
run through all the
affairs ot human life. This is in
accord with the design of nature;
and if, as Tennyson says; "I am a
part of every man I meet," the uniMpfnnato
iriditdd nftl vho nrv?f#>rs it
solitary existence, must be a oneideaed
person indeed.
Nature abho rs selfishness aud God
t t
never intended that the inhabitants
of earth should be selfish in their
thoughts, puiposes or manner of
dealing with one another. Every*
where in nature is manifested the
Divine idea of nrutual helpfulness
and unselfishness, and so it should
be in our human relations. It is
inevitable that every individual
should be to a certain extent depend'
?x ? i?r.n l U? 1,1
em? ull nis iciivw-iuau, auu urguvuiu
ever be ready and willing to give as
readily as he 'takes from his associates.
To recognize and carry
out this principle is the orst duty
of citizenship. There must be a
general sympathy and oneness if the
best is gotten out human life in the
vway of true happiness and success.
.No occupation in life isnndependof
all others. In our body politic
what affects the individual affects
our whole citizenship. Every individual
of a community is to a
certain extent responsible for its
government, and, withal, for the
moral, industrial and intellectual
development of that community.
The duty of the citizen, therefore,
4
is to do everything in his power to
build up his community. He ought
to aee to it that so far as his vote
and influence go the very best men
are put in charge of public affairs,
men of broud views, public spirit
and good judgment. Not the
narrow, designing demagague, who
by sewing the dragon's teeth of
Kofro/t and diaaension nlaces himself
UM*.?vw * X
into power and prominence. A man
of that stamp may be as brilliant as
Lucifer himself?whose intelligence
has never been discounted?and yet
the light that emanates from him
is but the fierce lightning that
withers and blasts that with which
it comes in COitact.
Good school and church privileges
are of the greatest possible benefit.
Nothing speaks better for a communitv?be
it town or country?and
mftrfl tn ih? nroaneritv. than
handsome school-houses and church
buildings. A dollar invested in
these great institutions yields large
returns, not only to the giver, bnt to
the community at ia general.
Then it is the duty of the citizen
to encourage by every legitimate
I
\
V
I means the coming of capital. A J
| capitalist or corporation is not an!
jenemy to the public welfare except!
when their privileges are abused, i
| Tnr investment of capital aud the
i establishment of productive indmt|
ries are far more likelv to be bea?j
ficial to a couiniunity than to opI
press its people. It is the duty of
. the citizen to correct any attempt at
oppression, but at the same time to
allow a corporation the same rights
and privileges that are accorded to
the individual.
As in these instances enumerated
so it is the duty of the c.tizeu to
rise above entirely selfish and persona!
ends in the affairs of the life.
We are too prone to ask the question,
"will it benefit it me!'," which
when answered negatively the matter
under consideration is usually dismissed
as of no account. This
should not be so; and it is one of the
strauge inconsistencies of human
kind that a man will ofttimes shed
his blood, or even give his life, from
i
a sense of patriotic duty, and vet
hesitate to lose a few dollars when
the same principle is at stake. These
are men who act from impulse rather
than a calm and steadfast purpose of
right. The man who acts from
principle on the losing side, and
who adheres to his conviction of
right with a tenacity and fixedness
of purpose in the face of opposition
is the highest type of a citizen, and
when such tnen are in the majority,
a community or a State will re<tch
its highest degree of real happiness
and enlightenment and intelligent
government.
The latest addition to our exchanges
is the Branchrilie Journal,
' whose initial number reached our
desk this week. The Journal's first
issue is highly creditable in every
department and typographically is
j "a thing of beauty." From the
i advertising patronage given it The
j Journal seems to fill the proverbial
"long-felt want."
While the vote was not near so
large as it should have been the
result of the electiou the bond question
is extremely gratifying. Not

of the town expressed themselves,
but we feel sure that had every man
v oted the proportion would not have
been less. Many friends of the
school, assuming that the result was
a foregone conclusion, failed to cast
their votes. By such negligence
they showed a lack of interest that
is difficult to understand when we
feel assured that they are in sympathy
with the cause cf education.
However, the election was overwhelmingly
carried the right way
and those too luke-warm to vote
; may find themselves called upon to
I pay a little more tax to meet the
I higher rate of interest on the bonds,
I that might have been avoided bad
they all come out and voted.
Our friend Wolfe, of the Kingstree
Record,must have been running
his engine some since he
put in his new plant. We note
that he has run two engines out of
business in the last few months and
has now ordered a third and cannot
get out his paper until it arrives.
He has our sympathy. We have
caught hold of the handle ourselves
under such circumstances and played
engine; it is not nice business,
| but we recommend it to Brother
j Wolfe, if he caunot do better. We
might even volunteer to go down
and help him, having had some experience
in that line. ? Florence
Timet.
The trouble is with our press
there is no handle to take hold of.
We hope to be out of the Slough of
Despond shortly, however.

looked for rain arrived Saturday; *
crops were very much in need of it *
and farmers are hupp}' today.
Mise Ethel Ferrell is spending a '

Quite a number of our young
people took in the sociable last
Wednesday evening giveQ- at the
reaideuce of Mr Odom, near Salter* 1
Depot. All report having spent -a
very pleasaut evening.
A moon-light picnic was given in
houor of the Misses Stuckey last '
Thursday evening at the residence
of Mr E C Spanu. The weather
was very inclement, but quite a number
of the young foUs biaved the
terrors of the elements, and from
their loud praises of the pleasure
this occasion afforded them, we are
convinced that their biavery was rewarded.
After a very pleasant evening
the young folks were served
with cake, ice cream aud water-melons.
The Misses Stuckey, after a
very pleasant visit to relatives
and friends in our community, have
returned to their home in Statesburg,
very much to the regret of
some of our young men.
It is whispered around that we
are to lose one of our fairest daugh!;ers
and judging from the uumber of
visits a certain red horse has paid
our city (coming from the direction
of Kingstree), there might be something
in Dame Rumor's gossip.
The Misses Ridgeway of Manning
are spending a few days with their
parents at this place.
Children's day was celebrated at
the Baptist church here yesterday
Quite a crowd attended and the
children did nicely, reflecting credit
on their teachers. A collection was i
taken for the Bible fund and something
orei $10 contributed.
We have at last secured the services
of a good barber. He comes from
the College for Barbers in Atlanta.
He is a good man and a good barber
and fills a long felt need in our city.

He was stricken with paralysis on
Saturday and a message to The

at Cedar Mountain, where the Bishop
is staying, reported him sinking last

point is hard to get it is very much
out of the way.
For a long time Bishop Capers
has been in bad health and his
friends have been very much concerned
for him. At the last meeting
of council a bishop coadjutor
was elected to divide the burden of
the church in the work of the
church in the stale with the bishop.
All over the State are going up
prayers for him, for few men enjoy
the love and universal respect that (j

Last week the little explanatory

aat moment on our job press, after

the press. Now. it takes a week

have been as much emlarrassed
this week as last, but for the kindness
of our friend, Mr W H Carr,
manager of the Kingstree Hardware!

iicament, kindly tendered as the loan
of a gasoline engine he had in stock, a
