A PRE r TY MUDDLE IN SOU TH
CAROLINA.
Senator* Tillman and Mc
Laurin, of South Carolina, aeeni;
not toknow their own minds. A
few days ago they both went their
resignations to the Governor
in order that they might go !>e
tbre the people and have anoth
er campaign of "mud slinging"
in South Carolina
The Governor, feeling that
another heated campaign was
not tiie beet for the State, re
fused to accept their resigna
tions. McLaurin acceded to
the wishes of the Governor aid
sigpified his intention of w ith
drawing hi resignation. Sena
tor Tillman on th- other hand
insisted that his resignation he
accep ed. declaring that the
Governor had gone beyond his
authority in refusing to accept
the resignations.
Wednesday the Governor
created the greatest sensation
of all by signifying his w illing
ness to accept the resignation
of Tillman if he still requested
it. Tillman then decided to
withdraw his resignation.
Tillman's object seems to
Tiave been to force McLaurin to
resign and let them both go be
fore the people and let them de
cide who is the more worthy of
their confidence and support.
Nov/ Senator McLaurin is
wrought up over the matter
considerably and says that if
Senator Tillman will resign un
conditionally Kb will do the
same.
It is a pretty mess and there
is no telling what the outcome
will be. It has all been brought
afdmt by Senator McLaurin's vo
ting with the Republicans on the
question of expansion, ship sub
sidies and other measures op
Dosed bv Brvanites.
I * 'y~
Here's hoping that they will
both resign and let their places ,
li? filled by better men.
There has been some talk of
an extra session of Congress to
consider Philippine affairs. At
torney General Kncx has ad
vised the President that under
his "war powers" he has au
thority to govern the Philip
pines, so that an extra session
is unnecessary. The powers
given to the President by Con
gress in dealing with our island
possessions has made him truly
one of the mightiest rulers of
earth.

THE YOUNG MAN Oh THE TWEN
TIETH CENTURY.
liy oftcak It. Hand, Jk.
Thin is t)it> bi'ginuing of a new
era, one which offers unrivalled
opportunities to the energetic
and jiersevering young man. We
are entering upon a great educa
tional, industrial and commercial
age in which he will take a most
prominent part. The facilities
for education are greater than
ever ls*fore, anil every young man
has a chance; lie should not de
lay a moment hut should boldly
seize every opportunity. The
grund opportunity of youth once
passed by may never return In
stead of the old log cabins and
ill-kept, uncomfortable school
rooms, we now have a splendid
system of public schools.
When the young man first
starts out into the world with 110
money, 110 experience, dejiendent
upon his own resources, but with
a fair, amount of grit and determ
ination he is likely to meet with
success. The young man will not
succeed if he remains idle and ex
pects success to come to him, but
must work, strive with ceaseless
industry. This world is full of
toils anddifticultiys, and the meed
of earth, be it gain, renown, place
or power, can be secured only by
stern labor. There is so much to
dishearten, oppress, and keep
down the soul that it needs con
stant and ever-accumulating
force to sustain and brace our
energies.
wiu iiit*11 art? uuuitfiit iu live ai
home and practice life's stern du-,
ties; young'men talk of travel,]
they wish to stand on the abyss
or dig into the ruins of Hercu-j
luneum and Pompeii; they must
walk the blood-stained streets of
Paris or traverse the lanes and
avenues of London. Old men
were willing to work for the bread
they ate, and the cup of milk they
drank when weary. Young men
have made servants of iron, tire,
and water, and have converted ]
them into curious combinations,]
to perform labor once done by
human hands.
These different changes have
been effected by the resistless ac
tivity of the young. The earnest
ness of youth is devoted to im
provement. The improvements
and inventions of the past one;
hundred years have been so great
that we may prophesy almost
anything for the future. It is
possible that the horse may find
himself relegated to museum or
we may traverse space on flying
machines; we may journey to
Russia over the Alaskan moun
tains and by a bridge across
Bering .Sea. We may be sure
that no effort will be spared to
improve means of transporta
tion and bring people into closer
communication.
The young man who rushes for
ward at every call, who stands in
front of every battle, who is earn
est for every new theory, will be
liable to meet with disaster and
defeat. The tide of life is dotted
with the wrecks of character, with
the ruins of young men who start
ed out fair and with high pros
pects of usefulness, but who nave
failed, signally and fearfully
failed. They refused to profit by
the experience of those who have
preceded them and have allowed
the zeal of youth to trample upon
reason and blind the judgment
and conscience.
1 hey who rush out into life
determined to pluck its flowers,
must kiok and see where they
grow. Let them beware lest they
tread upon the border of some
dark precipice or treacherous
quagmire and stumble in their
attempt to secure the prize. Age
has the most experience, old men
are likely to act with more pru
dence and caution, but youth
may put forth efforts and lead to
great results.
The history of the world has
proved that the young are better
fitted for active and laborious
service than are their fathers,
and in every enterprise where
labor is required we naturally
look to the young. Our most
distinguished writers and states
men commenced in early days;
our poets and orators earned
some of their freshest laurels
while in the morning of their
days. It is said that one of the
greatest military men of the
world, Alexander the Great, was
less than thirty-three when he
subdued his enemies in Greece,
took possession of the neighbor
ing countries, passed into Asia,
conquered the whole of Asia
Minor, Syria, Kgypt and Persia,
besides countless smaller king
doms and a large part of India.
Hannibal who was the most
formidable enemy Rome ever had
was made General at the age of
twenty-two. Bonaparte com
manded the French armies at the
age of twenty-seven. If weshould
take from the world what has
L>een done by voting men, litera
ture and science would be divest
ed of half their beautv, and his
tory would lose half the brilliant
and heroic exploits which it now
records with triumph and satis
faction.
Young men should be regarded
with great hope because in them
lie all the possibilities of the fu
ture. They constitute the great
link in thclimitlessehaiuof forces
which binds things pa>t with
things to conic. The bane of all
progress, individual and social,
is irresolution and timidity. We
pronounce things toodif'icul* for
our abilities, when the truth is.
they often appear difficult because
we have not thecourageto under
take them.
There is a stream which rises in
the equatorial regions and flows
onward and upward, warming
the chilled waters through which
it passes and spreading mildness,
verdure, and beautyovertliecold
and otherwise bleak lands of the
adjacent north. So do honest
young men diffuse a genial and
invigorating influence through
the whole rangeof society around
them, quickening the slow pulse
of the aged and giving an impulse
to their seniors in trade, art, and
industry. They will be a power
lifting us as a community ever
nearer to the high standard of a
perfect integrity and an all-re
garding justice. Young men have
but to contend against sordid
views and selfish purposes;
against impure business princi

live for the future and not for the
present alone; to live for (iod
and not for man supreme'y, and
all will be well with them and
with us. There are many avenues
which lead to phvesof credit, use
fulness and competence, open to
theyoungman. He should choose
one of these in which to spend his
talents, in which to persist to the
end. If he is poor then so much
the more will he need to begin at
once and diligently persist. He
must not forget that the world's
most successful men began with
no other capital than a clear
head, an honest heart,and a pair
of willing hands. The American
is in all things active, energetic,
progressive and persistent. With
these qualities, with all that na
ture has done for us, and with
our enormous accumulation of
capital, what is to hinder us in
this great race for commercial
supremacy. All the civilized na
tions of the world are engaged in
the contest,each seeking broader
markets and largereinployinents
for its people, and to effect these
results greater navies and arma
ments. We have a tremendous
natural advantage overthemall,
and with the gigantic strides the
United States is to-day taking
towards commercial and indus
trial supremacy, she will surely
out-distance all other countries
and become the greatest nation
on the earth.
