Mrs: Sallio A: Humes, Almost a success is but to fail. Almost able to grasp the situation is to remain mediocre through life. Great achievements require great - patience and endurance, built on a solid foundation. A vigorous physique, a fine brain and a sound heart make great things possible, and are necessary where great fatique and exposure is required. But success lies with in the reach of those who have a less robust nature. People who do hot possess unusual talent do succeed by using ordinary intelli gence,'and rise to places of respon sibility by sheer force of applica tion. Having aspired to a special ca reer, but failing to find the ne cessary opening they have turned to something within reach and found a no less interesting work, because they were willing to grasp that which came within the limit of their environment, rather than remain useless members of socie ty. Because a young man cannot carry out the dream of his early life, he is told by those who adopt the “special work” idea that his whole future must run over rif fles, or shallows. Close applica tion to the work in hand will crowd out the early desire. for a different occupation. As no two plants can grow successfully in one small pot, so no two great enterprises can thrive in one brain. The stronger will eventu ally require the entire space, Too little encouragement is giv en to the ordinary vocations, yet the men and women who keep the domestic machinery moviug are. those who perpetuate our institu tions. They may not have a col lege training, but they make each a course possible for their chil dren. The boy who asks unan swered questions is sent to the University where he may satisfy his desire to know. The one who seldom talks is not necessarily a poor business man. He may use few words but he never loses a dollar, or fails to make one when the opportunity offers. Alertness is quite as essential as pertness, and less liable to give offence. Silence does not imply ignor ance, but a shrude way of keeping one’s secret of success from those who might profit by it. People with much “gab” are more likely to hold mediocre places, than those who weigh well what they say. Not the number of talents, but their right use is what is the measure of every one’s success in life.—Emporia, Kan. Macon News. The boasts of the United States are being heard and feared by the nations of the world, who see, in this nation’s growing power,a me nace to their rule or a limit. “These powers that be” it is rumored, are taking steps toward combining their power against the growth of our imperial-spirited country. The object of the King of Italy in visiting St. Peters burg, recently, it is said, was to make arrangements for a commer cial alliance against us,hind there are expressed suspicions* that the Czar’s desire for an international conference on trusts is inspired by a similar purpose. Thus a Washington dispatch to the Phil adelphia Ledger says: “The prevailing view here is that the Czar’s proposal for an anti-trust conference means noth ing less than an attempt by Eu rope to put a discriminating tar iff on American mnufactures, es pecially of farm machinery, a most vulnerable point. “The method of procedure ex pected, if the Czars proposals are carried out, is a hard and fast agreement among the powers to impose a tax on all trust-made machinery, and then, by deoision of the court, eliminate from the working of this tax the manufac tures of the respective countries involved. At the same time it will be held that all imports of American machinery are trust- made, thus efecting a discriminat ing tax and excluding American goods from European markets. It is of this acoount more than any other that the operations in Eu rope now going on are watched with iutense interes by economists in America. “It is further believed here that* the present agitation may result in a tariff on American machin ery for the purpose of building up industries in Russia, Germany and France, which, although a slow process, would finally result in driving out American goods. Had the European possessed the ingenuity and facilities of the American it is thought this would have resulted long ago.” Uncle Sam may have boasted too loud, and the warning will cause the proposed victims to be on guard. Then the “expansion,” the “invasions” and so on will come to a sudden jarring stop 1 All Were Saved, “For years I suffered such un told misery from Bronchitis,” writes J. H. Johnston of Brought on, Ga., that' often I was unable to work Then, when everything else failed, I was wholly cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. My wife suffered intensely from asthma till it cur ed her, and , all our experience goes to show it is the best croup medicine in the world.” A trial will convince you it’s unrivaled for throat and lung dizeases.

It is a universal neces sity. Mortals have to eat, be clad and sheltered. Rents have to be paid and taxes also. Money is desirable, not because it has any intrinsic value of itsself, but because, by law, it exchanges for anything else in the material universe. It brings power and in fluence. It commands labor and attracts friends. Even the church, on the human side, depends upon it. We once heard a clergyman say that you could not get to heaven without money—that is, unless proper use were made of it. It opens every door and confers every favor except health and happiness, which may be lost ’ in its quest. Used nobly, it is an honorable distiction and a true gift of God, Abused and dese crated, it is the fiercest weapon in the devil’s arsenal. Just Look at Her.

Ship me your Cotton. C. B. WILLINGHAM, Cotton Factor, IMTeiGoru, G-eorgla,. The Public A Factor. Augusta Herald. Tbe public is an efficient factor in the success or failure of everv man, every enterprise, and often this factor, not always taken into account, is made evident at exact ly the right time to save a situa tion or disentangle a problem. It is with the publio, it is be lieved, that the solution of the capital and labor question lies, and such optimists as believe that the industrial millennium is near at hand aver that it will be brought about, not by employers or employed, but by the compar atively disinterested third party, that outside man, who if he did not mind other peoples business as he is so frequently advised not to do, would see the world much worse off for lack of his disinter ested efforts. Such a view is taken by a writ er in the Minneapolis Times, who says: “When the strike or the lock out comes and the balance is dis turbed there is a third party that is seldon taken into account by either of the contestants. That party is the public—an almost equal sufferer with the principals in the fight, but hepless. The public is striviving in an umpiri- oal way to bring about that still greater intelligence which shall render strikes and lockouts less and less frequent as time passes by, making arbitration the first thought of each party when an industrial dispute arises. With the best thought of the world preaching peace afid laboring for conciliation, there will be pro gress toward that happy time when strikes and lockouts shall be as obsolete as ‘^vager or battle’ is now. Lord Kitchener says to to the British people: “You may as? sure yourselves that you have nothing less than the making of a new America in the southern hem isphere.” that is in the South Af rica. There are, indeed, great possibilities in that country. But let Great Britain look to it that she does not produce another George III, or there will certainly arise in South Africa another George Washington.
