l-'honic what it should he? Many
men look upon home as a place to

sl. ep at night; others stay there on
Sunday when there is no other
looting place open. The reason.of
this are not hard to tind.

With ltryan in Kurope, Secretary;'

President Hoosevelt at Panama, '
Mr. Longworth who is now in Paris :
may expect a slight let-up in the (
persecution of the newspapers.
Something of strange and won- (
droits nature broke loose in Georgia '
Monday. Jerome of New York in
a talk of but a few minutes stood
the legislature on their heads and
immediately they adopted rcsolu- (
lions endorsing him for president 1
of the I'nited States. And all this s
hepp ned in Atlanta too. We are t
surprised that "Atlanta'' people )
should become so excited over "a ]
man from town." j
It is no sign of strength and real
firmness of foundation when a business
goes serenely on without meeting
anv shock, failure or loss. The
I 1
test comes when the opposing forces
are met. (nion has her native j

iTof. Newman said in 1'nion last
Friday that one of the reasons why :
fanners had not succeeded as they
should, was because they allowed
others to do their thinking. This
in ly he true or it may not, hut one
tiling is certain they have allowed :
others to determine the price of
their produce. All success to the
organizations to-day that are striv- 1
ing to give the farmers a voice in
setting prices on the products of
their own hands.
Mr. ('. ('. Langston, for ninny
year- editor of the Anderson Intelligencer
and secretary of the South
Carolina Press Association, has retired
from the newspaper field.
This action is taken on account of
ill health. Mr. Langston intends 1
to again enter the field of journalism
if his health is restored. Mr.
(
hang-don is one of the host men
the State of South Carolina possessed.
He made a fearless, honest
and strong editor and is yet one
possessed of many friends.

The Clemson men, while here,
advised more cattle raising on our
farms. An?l good advice this is !
t?M>. In another column we give
some figures on the cost of keeping
cows and als.> the receipts there- ^
from. This applies to milch cows (
only; hut there is money in raising i
lieef cattle too. With the grass!:
that grows in Union County, tho 11
peavines that may he raised, and ; J
the corn silage, feed for this cat- i
tie can Im* reduced to a minimum, i
It will pay every farmer to look in- <
to this matter. This is as good '
cattle countrv as you want, then ,
i
why not raise them? (,

The man heginning his business N
areer is face to face with sonic ,
iard problems. There is a kind ol ,
suect ss tiiat is the result of mere t
noney-getting. There is also the 51

poverty. IIow to hegin and con- j ^
inue in a business career that i> f
lot to he wrecked ujmui either horn
>f the dilemma is the problem. 1
It is had to be a cold, selfish v
noney maker. It is bad to be a j
poverty stricken failure. There <
> a third path open t?? the man of
business. There is such a thing as v
succeeding in business and yet re-4 .
niaiiiing master <?f one's self. This
means that money is to held to the ;
position of servant. Let the busy 1
man of affairs remain master of '
himself and all is well. Let him
take time to read good hooks, let |
him cultivate the society of refined <
and worthy people. Let him enter
U|x?n the work of serving his fellowmen
in some relationship for which
lie does not receive pay in money.
Let him cultivate his religious in- <
stinets. Let him attend the wor- i?

JONESVILLE HAPPENINGS.

Jonusville, July 17.?The day is
fair and good for every growing
thing, and crops are growing tooi
just aUmt as fast as any one over:
jaw them. I think the crojxs of the
neighborhood are fine, but I hear
rrom other sections of the county j
that they are not hulking so well,
out it is hardly time for the crops
to develop and show what they will
lo; a little more time is required
for that.
The last week's Timks was a good
issue and you, Mr. Kditor deserve)
to l>e congratulated for such a good
issue. Come again this week with
unother one as good. The testi-1
ninny of two at least that give their
(bservations was that we are doing
much 1 ?ettor without the dispensary
than we did with it, and also;
that prohibition does prohibit to a1
jivat extent and it always will when
it has public sentiment to hack it. ;
It will he just as effective as any
>ther law on the statute hooks and
ivhy is it that there are those people
who will say well, I would he in
avor of prohibition if it would pro- ;
iil?it. It is only a way of dodging
lie issue and I now put that sort < f
i man down as being a pruhihitionst
at heart.
There is a good deal of work go
ng <>n now in Joncsville. Mr. J.
MeWhirter is pushing his large
riek store to completion, whilcover
t the Yarn mill things are quite

iclitly u candidate for the C. S.
Senate, stopped over for an hour in
I'nion last Thursday. I lis daughter,
Miss Grace, whom the old solliers
heard at Columbia this year,
ivas on her way to the mountains
ind Col. Lumpkin came this far
aitli her, and returned to Columbia
;>n the morning train.
Of course, under the present circumstances
he eoul 1 not talk freely I
iibout politics and cs|>ccially about
the senatorial race. However, he
<nid that he regretted nothing what-j
ever, that he had teen compelled hy
ireumstanees unfireseen when he
entered the race to withdraw; and
this he could do wiili in-rfect grace.

it would In- unfair to pul?lisli this

gentleman, and an excellent conversationalist.
Wanted?
Position by reliable young man.
Can give bust references ? Want Ad.
Put what can you do, young man!
You ask the world for a jiosition,
and you do not claim to In- qualified
for any special line of work.
Then; are thousands of jiositiom
open today and a search is I icing
made for people qualified to till
them. Look at your daily papers
see the number of firms advertising
for bookkeepers and stenographers;
employment bureaus are writing
the better class of commercial
schools to furnish them with all the
graduates they can turn out. It is
true, there are thousands of idle
l>eople searching for positions that
they cannot get, because they are
not qualified and the business man
who has to take as much time to
show a new hand what to do and
how to do it as it would require him
to do the work soon seeks some one
else.
Young man, learn to do something,
to do it well, and you will
not remain out of employment.
Take a course of Pookkccping and
Shorthand in the Atlanta Commercial
College, 24 1-2 Whitehall street,
Atlanta, (la. This popular institution,
with its modern systems and
methods, is receiving far more ealh

bureaus for its graduates than it ear
supply. If you finish their coursi
