The time has come for greater advance
in the country public schools.
Retter school houses, more thoroughly
competent teachers, more interest
on the part of the patrons should mar*
the advance in tho country schools.
More money is a prime need. Consolidation
is, in many cases, necessary.
Advance! is the command of
the hour.
Speak n good word for your schools.
3">o not talk thorn down. There are
enemies ready to do that sort of
work. Speak a good word for your
town. Do not talk it down. There
are others ready to do that upon half
a chance. Speak a good word for
your church and pastor. There are
others ready to take tho other side
and do the talking down act. Speak
a good word in behall of your neighbors.
There are others that ure
ready to speak for him a Lad word.
The Goodman Cycle Co. expect to
have on exhibition in a day or two a
motorcycle. Mr. Goodman sajs he
is going to have an automobile here
before the year is out. He predicts
that a small carriage or "buck board,"
as he calls it, will be selling for about
two hundred and fifty dollars before
another year closes. Let us hopethat
Mr. Goodman's prediction \vi 1
como true. Many people would invest
in such a priced machine. And
tho coming of the low-priced machinewill
do much to increase the ell'orts
to bring in good roads.
It is believed by some of the influential
politicians that r. Cleveland
has concluded to allow his name to
again come up for nomination as a
presidential candidate. The unwritten
law in this matter has always
been that a second term of office
marked the end of a presidential office.
If Mr.. Cleveland consents to
be nominated after having served two
terms, he will be breaking away from
established custom ; and should^he be
for a third time elected, the event
will mark another advance toward/
imperialism and a centralized government.
This is certainly the trend of
our national 1 ifa; whether it be for
weal or woe, is another thing. Some
of those who are well qualified to
judge in such matters, long ago predicted
that the ultimate en 1 of a
republic government was a mild form
of monarchy. What a s ;d end to
our fourth of July orations on the
glories of our free land !
The suspicious nature is one to 1 e
feared. Such people are always seeing
something where there is nothing
They often feci insulted where no insult
was intend?:1. The wrong motive
is attributed to a neighbor's acts.
There was once a s nail biy passing
through a lonely piece of woodland
after nightfall. Whan ho reached
the loneliest part of the wools lie
saw something! There it stool, herd
by the roadside! It had an urm,
two arms; a head, two. heads; it
Bhoo? its long arms menhcingly; it
wagged its heads. It moved toward*
the boy! Bat by this time the Loj
was making hut) to retraoo his
step3. Next day he carved others to
the territory of his hobgoblin of tl?:
night before. There,standing out hard
by the roadside was a?huge stump!
But a boy whoso imagination can
transform a stump into a long thing
with heads and arms and give to ii
tho power of loeomotion is no more
remarkable than a suipicioui man
whoso imaglnatiin is busy at work
with a neighbors acts or weighing a
neighbor's motives. Sjch a man
must lead a miserable Jifo. He must
Often suffer sharp and needless pangs

[T1IF, MARCH or I) i: ST IXV.
A sober considerfttion of the out
lines of human history leads to the
conclusion that Destiny plays no
small part in the adiirs of
men. There are certain great laws
which are always operative; there are
certain great movements which are
persistent and regular in their dcvelopemcnt.
The pendulum 111 ly
swing backward an 1 forward, but
there is an unmistakable regularity
in its movements. There is a law
controlling its beats. There is a
reason for its swinging farther and
yet farther in a certain direction, as
I hero is reason for each stroke in an
opposite direction falling short of the
preceding be.'>. The struggle for
"States Right" which culminated in
the war of Secession is a shining example
illustrating these facts. A
struggle so manfully entered into,
and so bravely persistc-l in, ha3 never
beforo been recorded upon the plges
of history. It w.13 not the lack of
valor nor loyalty to conviction
nor lack of skill thit led to the overthrow
of the Confederacy. Do.stiny
wis at work. The pendulum that
m irk ed hum m event.s was swinging
\J t? J lit U Ut?IUU\7 UtlUUHUll. XII'J
Southern pooplo took an opposite direction
and wont down in defeat. It
was a defeat from which we withdrew
with honor.* that shall en lure to the
end of time, but defeat nevertheless.
The development of history, the
working out of human destiny was
moving in the direction of Centrali/at-ion.
Individualism was a standing
profession of faith, it is true, but
it was on individualism that swung
towards the unity of tho mass. We
have gone still farther in the same
lirection ut the present day. There
lever was a time in the history of
>ur country, nor in the history of the
world, for that matter, when so
much emphasis was given to individualism.
It is individual accountability
to the laws of the lanI that mark?
tho fundamental inhuman activities;
individual elTort that is emphasized
as tho basis of success in all life's
walks, lint it is also a fact in ouj
lay that there never was a stronger
onden *y t o merge the individual in
the m:us. This is seemingly a strange
tiling, but a fact that cannot ho disputed.
Combinati ins in business,
organization of 1 ibor, centralizing of
power?those things plainly mark
progression towards the condition
that loses tho individual in the larger
community. Oar war with Spain,

\[ ly it not lie a fact that Expansion,
far from being tlio outcome of designing
and unscrupulous men is but
the swinging of the pendulum of government
in the direction of eentrnli/.itlon?

ity of consolidation when onee the
great wealth is in the power of the
individual? "Extremes meet," and
individualism projecting itself far
out in the realms of human' activity
merges into centralization
Some prophets have already prophesied
that the very power and responsibility
coming with tho management
of mighty enterprises will ultimately
lead to governmental control of railroads,
coal mines, and no telling |
what else. Why should the government
have absolute control of the i
mails any more than absolute control
of tho railroads? Much could he
said in favour of there being j ist this
ownership of railroads on the part of
the government. Anyway, it is im- 1
possible to escape the conviction that
we are moving towards that [condi- I
tion. How far will the pendulum '
swing? No one can know what other
force3 are in operation, nor what '
will bo the out come. Vet it '
is impossible to escape the conviction 1
that "there is a divinity that shapes 1
our lives, rough hew thein how wo 1
nay." And this is applicable to tho 1

of the individual. The wiso thing 1
to do is to get in line and swing with
the pendulum so for as morul right 1
will allow. Many of the bravest he- '
roes of the Civil war now boldly dc- i
elnre that it would have been best !
for the So.uth to have accepted Liu- '
coin's olTer to buy the slaves and to 1
have settled the question without re- '
sort to arms. 1

A YOUNG MANS I
roc NUT BOOK. ,
An empty pockeb makes a depen- J
lent man ; a full pocket mukes an in*
* i
dependent one. There is a great dif- j
ferenco between the conditions ^
narked by theso two extreme3. A j
full pocket opens the door of opp>rtunlty;
an empty one shuts the j
loor of opportunity. In the groat
vorld of business money is a mighty
lever. The young man has his vis- j
ions, lie sees himself at the head of some
great establishment. Hodrenms ;
of the transformation that is to take i
place by which ho is to rise from the .
lowly position he occupies to one of .
prominence. The hopo f hat possesses
his heart is a cheerful cm 1 inspiring .
thing. There is the pleaslog prospect
of independence, a home of his own
and free scope for the projection of
his activities in the world of endeavor.
But there is one thing that many
young men fail to consider: it takes i
money to change tho abstract ideas
into concrete results. It tikes .
money to focus the rays of hope into
one penetrating (iro that is able to
transform thoughts into action. It
requires money to Carry on a mercantile
establishment, to build a cotton
mill, to operate a farm. The young 1
man that is no-.v serving his nppren- {
ticeship in p,o:ne position that is (
humble will find that whon ho gains i
sufficient knowledge to enable him to '
b gin operation on his own responsi- '

will bo money. It therefore behooves the
hopeful young man to begin tho
process of accumulation. To become
possessed of the idea that some happy !
bum of fortuno or some fond kinsman
will furnish the money .when the need
eomos, is a foolish d>*eain that is not
likely to bo realized. It is [a universal
law in the experience of men that
tho man who helps himself secures
the help of others, while the mnn
that refuses to help himself finds f
others unwilling to extend a helping
hand. A man 011 tho crest of tho '
wave nas nme amicuity in swim-'
ming, whilp the man under its bilows
has great difficulty in rising to the'
surface. Money is not everything in j
success; nor does the accumulation,
of money always mean success. The
miserable slave whoso heart Is con*[
stantly being eaten out with greed j
for gold is a shame to the name of j
mankind. But within its proper,
hounds, and in the hands of a man ,
vith sane ideas, it becomes a noble j
lelpcr. Let the young man save his !
money. Let him cut oil the useless
md often harmful, habits. Let him
earn that a spendthrift is no better
ban a miser, perhaps not as good,
het him learn that there is evil in
prodigality. There are few facts in
he life of a young man that contrib- ;
ite more to his self-rospect and pros- j
pect of success than that of having
