The leaves are leaping forward to full growth; the flowers are blooming; the birds are singing. Nature is showing forth the goodness of God. Would not this be a good time for us to resolve that more of the sweet, less of the bitter, more of the spiritual, less of the carnal shall enter into our thinking. Life is too short for bitterness, too glorious for much of the sordid and the evil. A man finds what he seeks. Let us seek for j the pure, the sweet, the happy thiDgs of life. . ___ W? ?retti hearty favour of having a local base ball team. The sport is invigorating and productive of manliness. The "bloomer girl" base ball business, however, is not so good for the reason that it degrades womanly modesty and is a serious violation of womanly instincts. The novelty of seeing women in bloomers play ball, not their good playing, draws a crowd. People will flock to see a stranded ship or a wrecked train. But such a show is costly. So when a man or woman sacrifices the noble instincts of modesty, people crowd to witness the wreck. But it is a costly show. Success is purchased at tremendous cost. The townsof Greenwood and Jonesville recently voted down the estab11 ~i -1 _ J: lisiuuuui; ui a uispu usury. urctnwood for the fifth time thus settled the question. The miserable defect In the law allows those in favour of a dispensary to keep bringing up the question, while there is no provision made for a community to get rid of one when it has been established, This is true, even if public sentiment should come to be overwhelmingly against it. When it comes, it comes to stay. The law should allow the opponents of ther system the same privileges in getting rid of it, that those favoring it are allowed in seeking to establish one. The National Conference of Charities and Correction will be held in Atlanta, Ga., May (>th to l'ith. Great efforts are being put forth to make a great meeting. Editors and others from all over the country are being encouraged to attend th? conference. The end sought to be accomplished by the organization is commendable. It seeks to regulate and improve questions pertaining to charities and crime bsy getting down to the philosophic and hdmanitartan basts of operation. Distinguished men of various professions will address the conference on a variety of subjects along these lines. Kditors have written, preachers have preached, good citizens have talked against the ever increasing spirit of lawlessness. The tide seems to rise higher and yet higher. But let pot the friends of humanity cense their fight. Often the enemy makes his mightiest show of battle when in the laBt ditch. Against the solid march of righteous indignation and protest this spirit of lawlessness must eventually go down,' Let us uphold the law; let us talk down the shedding of human blood; let ua insist upon a return to the enforcement of parental authority ; let us insist that juries do their duty as fearless men. Keep 011 tr ^ing, writing and working. A better day will come? must come. The time is coming when human life will be held as a sacred thing, and the shedding of blood a horrible crime. As a people we must come to reverence law, uphold authority, and value the man more than the sheep, or our future must become a present calamity. ^ ^ ^ wwwwwwwwwlVrwIVrilr^V | % A PAR, i A~ oertaln man owned a good X and the lowing of cowa could be 1 X soil yielded Ita rich harvest of gra X brook wound ita way through th T sang in the apple tree, and the br T The happy housewife sang the soi T sturdy sons and daughters throve I pore country air.

O COniNQ UP TO THE SPECIFICATIONS. A jeweler sold a man a plated watch chain. It was guaranteed to wear for five years. The purchaser wore it eight years and at the end of that time came back to buy a fine watch. The faithful representation as to the chain brought a purchaser for an article fifty times the value of the chain. An architect was needed for an important work. One was chosen for the work because it was known that he had scorned a bribe at the hands of a contractor and had insisted on having the work come up to specifications. A certain farmer living in Union county can always sell his produce a little higher than others, for the reason that the eggs he brings are fresh, the beef always fat and juicy, the chickens plump and fat, the vegetables fresh and good. People have learned to know that what he bring will always come up to specifications. A certain other farmer sold a load of wood. It was good on top and bad underneath. He knocked in vain at that door offering a second load. It is often thought a thing of little moment, but &rave consequences hang upon seeming trifles. There is often a present gain in having work fall below specifications, but it is a dearly bought gain. A certain merchant broke full handed. He made a net ten thousand. jliui c*ci oiuto 1110 uuc uig gain tic has made little or nothing. He died in the business world when he seized present gain without respect to honor. A young man may think it a matter of small importance as to how he uses his employer. But there is one thing certain: The man that more than fills the contract with his employer is on the sure road to advancement, while the man that fails to fulfill the contract is on the sure road to a smaller salary and a poorer reputation. The clerk that gives less than the best service is lacking in that high sense of honor which always commands respect and advancement. The merchant that sells goods which do not come up to his estimate of them will find old customers dropping off and fewer new ones coming to buy. The parson who preaches a poor sermon In order that he may save a good one for a greater opportunity will find in the end that he has lost by the transaction. A boarding house that charges a good price, yet gives poor service will find itself without boarders.

The papers of the State have spoken most kindly of Mr. Jno. R. Mathi8; who was for so long a time editor of The Times. Below we give one or two clippings: . "John R. Mathis has resigned the editorship of the Union Times to engage in other business. Mr. Mathis is a good newspaper man whose departure from South Carolina journalism will be regretted."?Spartanburg Journal, 17th. "Editor John R. Mathis, who has presided over the destinies of the Union Times for four years with ability and success, lays down the pen to engage in other business. The new editor of Thk Times is not announced."?Spartanburg Herald, IS'th. Mr. Mathis has won the respect and esteem of the State press, and his laying aside the editorial pen is by them regretted. The State Superintendent of Education has issued a statement that the State Summer School would bo held at VVlnthrop College, June 2:trd to July 22nd. 5 Jizzr '?*? m m able. # | (arm.
