Section1 of an act of the Legisla-
ture, approved Dec. %, 1891, reads as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the State
of South Carolina, now netand sitting
in General Assembly, and by the an-
thority of the same, That the trustees
of the several school districts in the
county shall report to the County Au-
ditor the names of all taxable polls in
their respective districts, and said Au-
.ditor shall enter the same upon the tax
duplicate to be furnished the County
Treasurer. That said names so fur
nished shall be published annually..in
newspaper published ut the county
seat once week for three consecutive
weeks, and where there is no paper
published at the county seat, then in
some other paper having general cir
culation in the county.
Under and by virtue of the authority
conferred by said section 1
call upon School Trustees of all the

The Age of Coal Burning.

have heard that when King Hudson,
in the zenith of his fame, was asked as
to what his railways were to do when
all the coal was burned out, he replied,
that by that time we should have learned
how to burn water. Those who are asked
the same question now will often reply
that they will use electricity, and doubt
less think that they have thus disposed
of the question. The fallacy of such
answers is obvious.
A so called water gas" may no doubt
be used for developing heat, but it is
not the water which supplies the energy.
Trains may be run by electricity, but
all that the electricity does is to convey
the energy from the point where it is
generated to the train which is in mo,
ton. Electricity is itself no more a
source of power than is the rope with
which horse drags a boat along the
canal.
The fact is that very large part of
the boasted advance of civilization is
merely the acquisition of an increased
capability of squandering. For what
are we doing every day but devising
fresh appliances to exhaust with ever
greater rapidity the hoard Of COAL

quito keeps six miniature surgical
instruments in perfect working
order. Two of these instruments
are exact: counterparts of the
surg eon's lance, one is spear with
a doub1e-barbed head, the fourth
is aneedle of exquisite fineness, a
saw and apump going to make up
the complement. The spear is the
largest Of the six tools, and is used
for making the initial puncture
next the lances or knives are
:broughtinto play to cause the
blood to flow more freely. In case
this last operation fails of having
the desired effect, the saw and the
needle are carefully and feelingly
inserted il. a lateral direction in
the victims flesh. The pump. the
most delicate of all six of the
instruments, is used in transferring

Dancing.

Here is what a purely secular
paper, the New York Journal of
Education, says I bout dancing:
A great deal can be said about
dancing. for instance, the Chief
of Police of New York City says
that three fourths of the abandoned
girls in this city were ruined by
dancing. Young ladies allow
gentlemen privileges in dancing,
which, taken under any other
circumstances, would be con-
:sidered as improper. 1t requires
neither brains nor good morals to
be a good dancer. AS the love of
the one increases the love of the
other decreases. How many of
the best men and women are
skilful dancers? In ancient
times the sexes danced separately.
Alcohol is the spirit of beverages.
So sex is the spirit of the dance.
Take it away, and let the sex dance
separately, and dancing would go
out of fashion very soon. Parlor
dancing is dangerous. Tipping
leads to drunkenness, and parlor
dancing leads to ungodly balls.
Tipping and parlor dancing SOW
to the wind and both reap the
whirlwind. Put dancing in the
crucible, apply the acids, weigh it,
and the verdict of reason, morality,
and religion is, aWeighed in the
balance and found wanting"

Daneer in Crowdinrl:s the Toes.

1t is we'll known that the connection
between the nerves in the feet, and espe-
cially those in the great toe. and the
brain and general nervous organization
is strong. DIR. Brown-Sequard mentions
patient who, whenever he bore the
weight of his body on the toes of his
right foot, became violently insane. He
also speaks of another case where pres
sure on the toe caused severe nervous
paroxysms.
These cases simply show the impor-
tance of a proper care of the feet, a por-
ton of the body that many people neg
lect. They think that they can crowd
their feet into tight shoes and abuse
them without serious results. They
can't do it, however. This crowding of
FIVE toes into space not large enough
for three, results in pressing the joints
out of shape and sometimes making
them inactive and powerless. No man
with his toes half paralyzed can walk
properly. The control of the toes is
necessary for springy step. Broad
soles and low heels give room for all the
toes and allow perfect freedom of action
to every muscle. People who have
false standards of beauty for the feet,
however, insist on wearing shoe that
is not natural in shape, and the result is
great discomfort, and in some cases
death.
As consequence of these abuses we
are forgetting how to walk properly.
Perhaps you don't believe it, but inst
watch the parade on Broadway some
fine afternoon and see how few men and
women walk on the street as if they
were not conscious of tight shoes and
deformed feet.-Interview in New York

Wise Words.

+ Awise man understands a good
work from the beginning, but a
fool only when it comes to an end.
Seek the counsel of wise and SEN
sible men, of learned men, of
intelligent men, and of men of
good disposition, and be thou
their friend. Keep thy hands
from stealing, thy feet from
wandering without work, and thy
mind from cherishing wicked
revenge; for the man who works
righteousness obtains good
reward, and the man that does sin
suffers punishment. Do not in
jure thy soul by wrath and envy
Do not consign thy soul to hell
out of a false modesty or shame.
Ask Gods blessing and keep the
heart cheerful and thou shall
obtain of the Lord an increse of
his goodness. Always, and at
every time, trust thou IN God
alone, and make that beloved to
thyself which is increasingly
profitable unto thee. Labor and
sacrifice thy life for the thing
which is of God. Mediate on
virture; do not mediate on sin
for man does not live forever
therefore the thing that concerns
heaven is most beftting thee.

Hope

Did it ever occur to you what
a world of thought is wrapped up
in that little worda hope" !? Its
very pronunciation makes every
bosom bound and burn. It is
music to the ear of the young,
health to the sick, and life
rejuvenated to the old. Poetry
makes hope a formation, grief
makes it q solace, and desolation
makes it the brightest flower that
adorns earthly creation while..even
disappointment and delusion
whisper darkness out of the sky
of to-day into sunshinge of to
morrow. Sobbing sorrow may
crush and cripple the soul, but
hope gives it new elasticity. Nay,
it may be humiliation in the dust,
but hope will raise it up again:
Hope is mans hirthright, which
after all his Establishments, delu-
sions, and mockeries, never maketh
him ashamed to hope on, hope ever.
Airy fancies may allure him, and
smiling faces beguile him into
treachery, but hope fits eternal
around the human head and
breast, and hangs the rainbow Old
the blacklist cloud in all the chaste
sparklings Of an angel from
immortal life. Thunder-bolts may
leap from the fair bow in the
clouds, and hope vanish as q fair
scorner from that bright spot, but
the fascinating form soon appears
elsewhere in fairer robes than ever.
and with a wreath of flowers to
crown the child of endless disap-
pointments, Now whenyou connect
the word "hope with salvation, "
then what wonderful word it
becomes! At once it comes to
measure mans most delightful
Christian attainment, Indeed. SO
intimately is it associated with
practical godliness, that, religion
itself is called a "good hope
through grace. More than this,
t>our God is called the God of hope,
our Saviour called Christ our hope,
and his finished work is known as
"the hope set before us in the
Gospel" while those who accept
him are said ITO rejoice in the
hope of the glory of God" THE

When Finished.

Busy persons. forced to defend them
selves from interminable takers, who
have little to say, can appreciate hint
to which Henry " of France once re-
sorted. A parliamentary deputy called
upon him and made long speech.
The king listened patiently for time,
then he decided that his visitor would
do well to condense his remarks. He
took him by the hand and led him to
where they could see the gallery of the
Louvre.
"What do you think of that building?
When it is finished it will be good
thing, will it notT'

words, not guessing what was coming
next.

The farmers hereabouts are
through harvesting their grain,
which they found rather sorry,
and they are now ready to go to
work. They will have tohustle, or
General Green and his army will
possess the land. Up to this time,
however, the crops arein good con-
dition and the acreage in corn is a
large one. We are under the i'm.
preston that tie people<are going
to eat their own hog and hominy
and let the Western people eat
theirs, or send it, to some other
place than Mountain Greek. A
plenty of meat at home will help
the poor farmer no matter who is
Governor.

that he had the boys In his breeches
pocket. I hope he won't be like
Mr.. Zimmerman was when he went
to his neighbours house to get some
pigs. He put the pigs in a sack
and went his way rejoicing, but the
pigs kicked out of the sack and
left him standing at the Sweet
Gum Spring. We hope Gov. Till
mans pocket is made out of good
ducking SO he can hold the boys in.
I think Mr.. G.. S. Zimmerman
has been counting on making a
fine chance of Tillman-Smyly
beans, but Mr.. Smyly has failed to
send up he seed.
