The sign on the street car is significant?"Pay as you enter." , Where it is easy to obtain credit a man or a woman finds the situation so easy that they buy more than they want and more than they need,altogether forgetful of the fact that some aay mey musi pay. The man who figures on the future will never spend a dollar until he has earned it. There is serene satisfaction in paying cash for what you get. It may necessitate a bit of self-denial. You may have to go without some things you would like very much to have, but in the end you will congratulate yourself that you can look the world, clear-eyed, in the face with the selfsatisfied feeling that you are independent, that you are under no obligations to any man.

LARGE ESTATE DISPOSEO OF, VVtlLL OF HON. R. H. KELLAHAN BEQUEATHES MUCH VALUABLE PROPERTY. The last will and testament of the late Richard H Kellahan was filed foi record in the office of the Probate Judge on Monday. March 19. As the testator was regarded as the wealthiest man in the community, with no children of his own to bequeath his fortune to. considerable curriosity has existed as to how Mr Kellahan would dispose of it. The estate is said be worth something over $400,000. It will be seen by a perusal of his will that he had a host of relatives and that liberal bequests were made to each of them,either directly or indirectly, inasmuch as some of his nieces and nephews will inherit from other beneficiaries. The nnlv hemiest made t.n nuhlie *MV 1- ? charity is $3,000 given to the Williamsbuag cemetery. We have been repeatedly requested to publish the will and this is the first opportunity we have had since it became a public document. In doing so we have cut out a good deal of what the average reader would consider superfluous or technical language: I, R H Kellahan, of the town of Kingstree, county of Williamsburg and the State of South Carolina, being of a sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding.do hereby make and publish this instrument of writing as and for my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time heretofore made. 1.
