As most people know it has not been very long since these gentlemen lost about ten thousand dollars by fire, and as a matter of with no aid but their own, they were compelled to use their credit in getting up again. The that they carried at the last lire was entirely for the benefit of their so it can be seen at present they are totally without everything upon which to make a new start. Since they have been in Greenville they have made a good light, and as business men of the highest rank they have clearly shown in their with the people here. The writer is told that entire pay roll for logs and labor averaged from ten to fifteen dollar-, per week. This money Swelled the volume of business of Green- ville and helped every enterprise here, and as above stated, would it not be business policy for the people here to help them up again We have made some of these gentleman and they say say with the support they can set from abroad the business they already have, with thousand of ready cash they could replace the plant get it in running shape again- cannot some means adduced by which community can aid them to this extent think of pay out nearly or quite that amount every month, most it here in Greenville by ex- tending them this aid here home it will hotter enable them to command indulgence and aid from abroad. These all upon a begging expedition, but have and lost heavily, and the has unless some aid is given them at present it very doubtful that the will be rebuilt. The public at large ought to feel a very great baler- this matter.

How to Settle the Political Questions. Our Record, of the organ in the State of the Methodist Protestant church, has this week an of such under the above caption that print it with unusual prominence. It follows There is but one way to reach a settlement a political question, and decide it strictly in accordance with the principles of rectitude. The question and the currency question are both moral questions, will always be floundering about in uncertainty over the question so long as we are simply trying to de- what is for me and my section, i. e., will make what we have to buy and what we have to sell dearest. The currency question settled finally by a mere consideration of the standard will make debts easiest to pay or that will give the groat est value to bonds. There is a right and a wrong in both these questions, and the right is dot to be found by a of classes, each seeking its interest of the rest. the war of ballots may fail to establish the right. The victorious majority may be utterly wrong. questions of conscience, and voter is vote not for his but for that which after seems to him right. Would that this unassailable could be burned into heart There is a matter of morality in almost every political more deeply in none than in the two And it is a truth worthy of all no into which this enters is ever settled permanently until it is set- Observer.

This Young Man Runs His Own There is a young man his county, a farmer, who has made a record during the last five years of which he is justly entitled to feel proud, and while we are not at liberty to use his name there arc a few points connected with his business management that will be beneficial and serviceable to the public to know. About seven ago that young man came into possession of what had once been a highly improved and able farm in the western section of this county, but with his possession came a heavy debt. Through several years of bail management the farm had passed under the tenant system which tIn- land was cultivated, it had become vary much impoverished and the yield was very poor- The time had been when there were plenty of splendid outhouses, barns, stables and tenement houses, but these were all dilapidated and the most of them absolutely worthless so far as comfort or convenience were concerned. The farm house, a handsome structure when first built in times, had and the wall around it was all rotten and gone. The ditch banks aid hedge rows had up and here and there all over the farm were of the and other evidences and neglect. In this con- as above stated about seven years ago he come into possession of this farm with an it over two thousand dollars. With no money to make a start he was compelled to go in debt for team and farming and utensils and by the time he- was ready to start his first crop it can lie readily seen that he was in debt very near three thousand dollars. The first two years he made nothing to pay upon his old debts, and so five years ago he made a new start with a different de- termination and different management. Since that time he says he has stayed at home and attended his own Do farms entirely by the tenant system but he has it understood in written contracts with his tenants that he is the business manager of the farm, and that each crop must be cultivated and his instructions and that they together work for each others mutual interests. He says that he has no trouble with his tenants and that each that whatever is for one Is for the other interests. He lives ex- at home, seldom leaving ex- business. lives within twenty minutes ride of a prosperous village but never spends his time loitering around discuss- polities with the idle ones always to be found such places, keeps his own books, manages his own pushes his farming interests with the same degree of business that he would were he engaged in the mercantile or any other business that required skill and judgment. A days ago it was the writer's pleas- to spend a few hours on this farm. An spectacle is now from dilapidated and neglected farm five years ago. The hedge rows have been and are in cultivation, the fence locks are the water trained around the hill shies and hind is be- recovers, Instead of life old barn and stables, large, comfortable and. convenient have been built. Several nice co burns and a large pack house have been built. Instead of the old and weather beaten tenant houses new and comfortable ones have taken their and the whole plantation has about it an air of improvement and hustle The neighbors say the land has increased in almost double, and now listen, that have been added which have in- value of the farm near or quite double was five years ago, owner says fall he could have paid every dollar of the in- if he had not reserved the money to make some more improve- this n oilier words he is so nearly out of debt that ho has per- property enough lo pay all he owes. Now isn't this a good record and one which the majority of the far- of the would do well to This young man certainly has right to feel proud and under nary a future full CHILDREN'S EXERCISES.

Job FIRM So much is to be gained by and firmness of speech as op- posed to hysterical passion, that is worth while every one to try to learn how to control the tongue and the pea so as lo obtain greatest amount of influence over others. Strong language is never needed to enforce the opinion of a man who is firm in his faith, clear in expression logical in bis methods. It is usually the resort bullies, those who cannot reason, or of men who are guided by their prejudices rather than by logical deductions facts. The objection to strong or ate language is that it gives rise, to contentious opposition. A radical in religion or politics takes such extreme views and urges them so he provokes, quarrels, yet never makes a convert. Another man, just as firm in his convictions, mo e moderate in expression to them and more considerate of the opinions of other people, can substantially the same things without irritating those differ with him. He does not provoke a quarrel, but invites a calm discussion, lie thus has the chance at least of winning over to his views, whereas the radical drives them once. Moreover, the man may remain firm because he nothing that he cannot whereas the radical is vacillating. He goes to such extremes that he is oil- o retract and loses the respect bis hearers because he is not consist or firm. Firmness, it is to be Observed, is consistent c with in- honest thought. The rant may be unyielding, but in their case- obstinacy lakes place of One who has well-settled man- a mind free prejudice and a disposition to think before sneaking can lie firm in expression and in bis adherence lo opinions once expressed without being obstinate. Such n man not mere- his follower or those who I with him. hut also of his opponents, and is much more than the radical who presents views in language.
