BOYS. CLAUD NEWS. school Composition by Martha Talton of Union Academy. By Rmartalocs. The farmers are not up with There are a greai many boys in their work on account of rain. this big world, and no two are . of the same disposition. If boys do not try very hard to be good and to do what is right, they are almost sure to be bad. By the time a boy is twelve or thirteen years old, you can tell pretty well what kind of a man he will make. If he minds his parents; is good and thoghtful of his sisters, re spects old people, is kind to chil dren younger than himself, in fact, if he thinks of other people ' before he does himself, ’twill be said of him: . , “That boy is a perfect gentle man ; he will be the right kind of man.” . ■ . . . A good boy is a blessing at home, in school^ and every where he goes ;for he does good by setting a good example. But oh, my me! a real bad boy is dreaded by every body, and can do more harm than a dozen more keys; when a crowd of such boys get together it is hard to imagine what will happen. Some boys have an idea that ’tis very grand and manly to smoke cigaretts, and drink liquor, but that is a great mistake, All sensible people have very poor opinions of sush boys, and if they grow to be. more sensible they are apt to feel very, sorry for hav ing formed such bad habits. For ’tis very hard to leave off the ha bits of smoaking and drinking, so I have heard grown people say. Boys should be very ^careful what kind of company they keep; for bad company has ruined many a boy who would have grown to be a good man, had he kept better company. I am thankful to say I don know a great many bad boys. I hope the boys of our school and neighborhood will grow up to be good and useful mon. * I think they will if they follow the example and teachings of our kind teacher.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch makes this argument in favor of one term for presidents: “No president who is ambitious for second term can carry out his own ideas of right and justice.He must bend to the will of a be nighted or selfish or corrupt con gress, and he must constantly stand in fear of popular opinion however mistaken it may be. Only 51 one-term president with a Jack sonian backbone can be depended upon to do his best.” Mr. and Mrs Fred Smith are visiting relatives at Knoxville.

A Georgia sheriff received the following note from a negro pris oner who had been sentenced to be hung: ■ . “Mister Sherf, will you please suh, tell me des what day I is to hang on?

All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. E. W Grove’s signature on each box.25c The Man With Friends. Oglethorpe Echo. The man without friends can accomplish very little in this; world. Depending on his own strength alone his mightiest endeavors are as nothing. At harvest time he gathers nothing but leaves. But the man with friends— strong friends, true friends and loyal friends—who have confi dence in his integrity and ability, to “do” things has great power. When he leads they will follow him and all working together, unitedly bring victory. This is the reason why some men achieve great success who are men of apparently moderate ability, while their more brilliant competitors never accomplish their desires. In the world’s his tory there have been a few men of extraordinary ability who-accom plished great things absolutely alone, and they all could probably be counted on one’s fingers and toes. This is true in every business and profession as well "as in poli tics. The man who makes his employees and co-workers his friends gets the best results. It does not matter so much whether a man has enemies or not, as that he has true friends who will stand by him and never desert him. In politics it is rarely that the man ,who is “one of the boys,” as the popular phrase expresses it, ever loses in the contest. The out side moralist and “man of merit” whose worth may be known stands little chance against “one of the boys,” for he never learns, and, as Kipling says, “never can learn,” how to manipulate men in the game pf politics. To have loyal friends who will stand by you in adversity as well as in prosperity is worth all else. One man can accomplish very little by himself. To have friends who can be depeaded on is to gain success in life. Publip control of railroads is imperative,else these creatures of the state would become greater than the state itself.- But their lines are too long and too widely spread to be wholly under the con trol of any individual common wealth. What follows logically, then, is that they must be con trolled either by concurrent ac tion on the part of several states l^irough which their lines run, or by the general government, act ing for the entire community. Present indications point to the latter as the more feasible of the two methods.—Philadelphia Ledg er. Are You With the Shoes that you have been getting?
