A
< AKB WJB APPRECIATIVE?
D'd you ever stop to think how unapprociative
is the average run of
mankind? Did you ever observe how
prone some people are to take every^
thing that comes their way as a matter
of course, never stopping for a
- moment to think that a word of encouragement
or acknowledgement
was due or at all necessary, b\tt
- rather leaving the impression that it
u was no more than we had a right, to
expect. Wo have noticed it in men,
women and children, there are ex((
ceptiona of course, there are some
h people who are never slow to recogt.
nize an act of kindness, ard show
- their appreciation of the same, hut
from our observation, we believe this
>. class are exceptions to the rule. If
' you will be observant you will see it
everywhere, this lack of appreciation,
you will find it in the homes, in businesa,
in the church in fact everywhere.
Take the honest and conscientious
laborer, have you not seen
him striving to the utmost of his
ability to do some work extra well
p that he may please his employer
Have you not seen the employer,
f> a1 tor the work was finished, and w? ll
- done, examine with a critical eye, n-?
1 if endeavoring to find a place open to
criticism, and finding everything
perfectly satisfactory turn upon his
1 heel and walk off without one word
of commendation or encouragement.
f If you have noticed a case of this
' kind you have also possibly noted
1 the expression of disappointment
upon the face of the faithful employeee
in not receiving the kind
word of appreciation that he hud
reason to hopo for. If he is faithful
he will continue to strive to render
his very best service notwithstanding
the apparent lack of appreciation.
But he has to be truo grit or he will
be discouraged, and his energy wdl
lag as a consequence. It is so easy
to speak a kind word, it costs noth'
ing, but it sends a ray of sunshin.direct
to the heart, and makes an
impression that does not soon fade
away. We believe the happiest men
, are those who are constantly making
others happy by embracing every opportunity
of speaking kind words 01
. encouragement, when they see it i*
deserved, and promptly recognizing
any act of kindness or courtesy, no
matter how insignificant it might
' appear to another. These men are
not only known in a community by
their cheerful disposition and the
happiness that seems to beam from
their very countenance, acluulh
driving the blues from those with
whom they came in contact, hut
they are loved by all who know them.
Is this not a very near approach to
the fulfillment of the divine admonition,
"Do unto others as ye would
have them do unto you." Is there
one among us, old or young, who
does not feel a thrill of inspiration
to even greater exertion when we
know that our efforts are appreciated?
Are we not too unappreciative even
in our homefc? Take the case of the
loving wife, she studies the likes and
dislikes of her leige lord. She knows
what delicacy is most pleasing to his
appetite, have you not noticed how
carefully she prepares this with her
own hands, have you never noticed
the happy smile that beamed on her
face when after enjoying this particular
dish you remarked that it was
very fine, and just to your liking
Didn't it make you happy to know
you had caused that smile by your
appreciation of her efforts to please?
Had you ever thought of the great I
l i J m i * *? *
triuis huu uunouiues resting upon
this companion of yours, the multitude
of things she litis to look after
and attend to, day after day for Ht>f>
days in the year? Did j-ou ever happen
to find, that in the ?greut tusk
she hud to fuce daily, that tho suit
had been omitted in the biscuits?
Have you seen tho paintd expression
upon her face at the omission? She
was as much hurt over this slight
thing as you would be over a much
greater calamity in your business
affairs?did you ever quarrel about
it??-don't do so any more, but laugh
it otr and tell her you don't see how
she can remember to cook the biscuits
three times a day with everything
else she had on her tnind.
Did you ever huve your children to
do you Utile acts or kindness, bring
you a nice ?ool drink of water when
you came In on a hot summer's day,
or hand you your slippers, or pin a
button hole bouquet in your lapel?
Did you forget to thank them for
theso things? Don't forget it next
| time. It will make the little ones
; happy to know that their elTorts to
please you are are appreciated, and
I you will be happier.
| It is cold oomfort to the deceased
| to sound the praises of his virtues
when he Is a cold corpse underneath
the sod. You do not hesitate to say
he was n good natured fellow, everyone
knows that, he was honest and
straight-forward, he was a kind neighbor,
a valuable friend in the sick
room, and his many friends mourn
his loss etc., that is all very nice,
and possibly appropriate, but did
you ever take tho time to tell him
how he was appreciated, while lie
was in tho flesh, and help him feel
that his mission was not In vain
though his ftt may have been one of
trials and struggling. One kind sentence
of appreciation and encouragement
spoken to the living man is far
better for him than all tho epitaphs
that could be crowded on a marble
shaft above his grave.
Did it ever occur to you that after
listening to an interesting and instructive
sermon from your pastor,
| that had been helpful to you, that
you r lght to go to hiin, grasp his
hand and tell hint so, thus showing
your appreciation and making him
foci happy in knowi-g that his effort
hud not been in vain? ii yua have
nev?-r none so don't let the n-xt opportunity
for doing so ?l>o through
your fingers. You will feel better
in having shown him your appreciation.
Let us all try and scatter these
bright beams of sunshine around us,
rather than try and create the impression
that the world is ours and
all that therein is, and that those
beneath us are our subjects and nothing
they can do for us can exceed
their obligations to us.
Mr. L. W. C. Blolock'scotton mill,
oil mill Ac at Goldville. 8. C, 14 miles
from Laurens is in the hands of a

be near one hundred thousand dollars.
The largest creditors are in Columbia
and Charleston. The Columbia

Senators Tillman and McLeurin (
were again at logger heads last. Monday.
This time in the Senate Oh :rr.< r
at Washington. They will probi'dy
be able to furnish enough amusement
and exeitinent to relieve any monotony
that may attach to the session.
Tillman again dared MeLaurin to resign,
MeLaurin did not accept. The
question is up in the Senate as to
whether either is entitled to a sort <
in the Senate, having resigned in tin t
spring, at Gaffney. '
The Anti-trust league Is again after
Attorney General Knox. 'I he 1
league requested him to take action J
against the big trusts early in the 1
fall. His failure to comply with the
r* quest, has caused the League lo ,
ad-?pt resolutions declaring him ut fit ,
for the important office of Attorney <
General of the United States, and!
they ask that his nomination be refer-1i
ed to the Judiceary committee to ! *
investigate their charges. They pro- *
mis. t furnish ample proof when the ^
opportunity is offered.

Committed by a black fiend in Andcr- j

near Bolton. Oliver Green a negr ? 5
about 20 years old entered the home
of Miss Rehecca Ann Kelly, and
committed a criimninul assult upon
her. She is in a critical condition
her face and shoulder is terribly
bruised. The Sheriff whs notified of
th'* crime, and wmh soon upon the
scene with Ids blood hounds. The
negro s track was soon picked up a? d
he was treed at his home, and t?ken
with several other negroes to the
vi'-tim who identified him readily.
