Demorest Medal Contest at Greenvil,c.
Below will be found notice of the
Demorest Medal Contest lately held in
Greenville
The entertainment given under the
auspices of the w. G. r. U. last Thurs
day evening at the rooms of the Y. M.
G. A. was an exceedingly pleasant af-
fair, and Miss Susie Trigg, the origina-
tor of it, is to be congratulated upon
the success attending her efforts.
The contestants for the Demorest
medal can not exceed six in number or
be over twenty-five years of age. Up
on this occasion a half dozen young
ladies were in the field Misses, Mac
Dougal, Gravitt, Wyche, Dunn, Head
and Ramsey,-each of whom spoke re-
markably we'll.
Owing to Miss Ramsey's great expe-
rience in the line of oratorical effort.
the modest little lady would not allow
her name to go before the judges when
that body retired to select the medal
winner. This left Miss Head, Wyche,
Gravitt, MacDougal and Dunn as clai-
mants for the prize, and after careful
consideration the lucky one was decid-
ed to be Miss Bessie Dunn, whose ear
nest, unaffected and pathetic rendition
of her piece was admired by all, and
when the verdict was announced the
applause was great, and the unsus-
pecting little winner burst into tears,
while the sincere congratulations were
showered upon her. Delicious refresh
ments were then served, and the even
ing spent in way both pleasant and
beneficial.

The Flower Mission.

A letter from our new State CORE
spending Secretary Mrs. Somerville,
who is sojourning for the summer at
Monteagle, Tenn, gives cheering news
about the observance of Flower Mis-
sion Day this year in our State. She
says that from her correspondence she
learns that the day was very generally
observed. In Greenville seventeen
visits were made and a service held in
the Jail. This was conducted by Rev.
T. Y. Ramsey at the request of the w.
G. T. U. A number of the prisoners
signed the pledge.
Such news is very encouraging and
ought to stimulate us to more active
work along these lines. No heart is
too deeply dyed in crime or too hard
ened by sin for the gentle influence of
a flowers to reach it. Let us not for
get the erring-we know not at what
moment the spirit of God may come to
them in their desolate, horrible lives
and make their poor hearts clean and
happy. He means that we who bear
his blessed name shall also bear his
messages and thus make the way easy
for Him to enter the prison doors as
we'll as the lowly homes of the afflicted
and transform these dark abodes into
palaces of light and happiness. There
is so much we can do through the
blessed work of the Flower Mission
Department.

Early Ideas About Hair,

All the ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure, etc. of the hair.
and had many suserstitions founded
on these old opinions. The early
writers on the makeup of the human
body almost invariably refer 10 the
hair as being an excrement fed on sub
stances similar to itself. They sup
posed that It generated in the frligi-
uousparts OF the blood; was exhaled by
the heat OF the body, becoming firm
and f5rous on being exposed 20 the air.
Just as the fluid OF the spider web does
In these days every idea respecting the
growth and character OF hair Is
changed II is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the
nature OF parasitic plants: they grow as
vegetation does. yet each has. as il
were, distinct life and economy. That
they derive their existence from the
juices Of the body there is DO doubt.

CONDENSED HER OUTING.

Plucky Stenographer's Pilgrimage to Lon
don and Paris In Three Weeks Time.
It takes New York girl to overcome
obstacles, says Helen Combes in Kate
Fields Washington. One of them who
is earning her living as stenographer
has been for a long time saving her
spare money with view to visiting
Europe this year. She had enough
when vacation time came to carry out
her cherished project, but, alas, she
found that not day over three weeks
leave of absence would be granted her.
She did not dare throw up her position,
as she knew from experience that good
places are hard to get.
Right here is where most girls would
have given in to the force of circum-
stances and spent the vacation in
America. Not SO the plucky little
stenographer. She left the Office a
Saturday morning in August, went on
board one Of the fast steamers and in
exactly a week landed in Liverpool.
Taking a night train she arrived in
London bright and early Sunday
morning and proceeded to "do the
town. She saw the tower, West
minister, st. Paul's, houses of parlia-
ment, the national gallery and host
of other things before leaving on Mon
day night to make her way Parisward.
Crossing on tho night boat she ar
rived in Paris Tuesday and spent two
clear days sightseeing. Notre Dame,
Versailles, Pere la Chaise, the Louvre,
the morgue, the Champs Elysees, an
evening at the grand opera and
numerous other diversions occupied to
the full the time she spent in Paris.
Leaving there in time to reach Dieppo
Thursday night she recrossed the
channel, arrived in London Friday,
took the train for Liverpool and had
several hours there before boarding
the Lucania on its maiden westward
trip. She arrived in New York Satur-
day, September Q, and after spending
Sunday quietly turned up as bright as
. button at business Monday morning.
The ambitious young woman did not
boast of her flying trip. but somehow
the facts leaked out on the steamer
and were considered too good to keep.

On one occasion chief of one of the

''No, SIR" replied Uncle Jerry, II am

wonders of the Lords creation, and
said that he made the large as we'll as

KING UMTASsA.
An Ebony POtentate Who Had q Right

An Ebony POtentats Who Had q Right
Royal Thirst Of His Own.
I have just profted by holiday to
pay a visit to Chief Umtassa, or,
rather, the Kinglet Umtassa, as the
Official dispatches call him, says a
writer in South Africa. The country
belongs to him and the chartered COM
pany gives him yearly present of one
hundred dollars, and this one hundred
dollars and this present was just due.
1t is almost impossible to get glimpse
OF Umtassa, partly because he is such
very important person-in his own
eyes-but chiefly because his life has
only three phases-going to drink,
drinking and being very drunk indeed.
We were shown into a reception
hut" into which we crawled almost
upon our hands and knees, and we
seated ourselves on mats, prepared to
wait an indefinite time-for the ''chic"
of a native chief, like that of smart
dentist, is to keep one waiting as long
as possible. After about half an hour
we began to clamor and then we left
the hut and began to wander about the
kraal-a proceeding which the natives
generally objected to, and before we
had gone far an induna came to say
that Umtassa was coming and had sent
a present of Kafir beer. So we
scrambled back and sat outside the
stuffy hut and waited.
At last sort Of procession came
winding down among the rocks, some
of the natives wearing snuff-box and
a catskin, others draped in blanket
la Julius Caesar, but none of them
carrying any sort Of weapon with the
exception of a big native, who carried
Umtassa's knobkerrie and his battle
ak. After this usher of the Black Rod
came Umtassa, draped in blue and
white toga, with blue and white cap
on his head.
Much to our surprise, he turned out
to be a very imposing-looking person
age. In spite Of his excessive dirt he de-
cidedly possesses what is called le
grand air, which take to be produced
by complete satisfaction with ones
surroundings and not a little contempt
for the rest of the world. Well, our
friend Umtassa gave each of us a very
grimy hand to shake and really one
might have planted a mealie field under
each of his hands. He then sat down
on his mat, with all his people grouped
around him and his induna told our
interpreter that he might speak.
Thereupon good deal of business was
transacted.

ASTONISHED SAVAGES.
Money LIN Exchange for Food Was . Goo
Joke to the Wild KaHrs.

II -
Joke to the Wild Kafars.
The author of "Where Three En-
pires Meet" took some Kafrs from
their desolate inland home in the
Himalayan gorges beyond the noun
tain ranges to the more civilized south.
Like most savages, they looked with
stupid Indifference at the marvels
about them, and once only were they
excited by an incident which opened
their eyes to what they considered a
most extraordinary and unnatunu
state of things.
They were descending a road when
one of them chanced to remark that he
was hungry, and the English ''sahib''
bought him some food at way side
shop. The Kafr saw the money change
hands.
''How is this?" he inquired, in sur
prise. 'Do you have to pay for food
in this country?"
Certainly"
"What country" cried the man, in
amazement. Then after pondering a
while he continued. doubtfully: 'Sup-
pose a man had no money in this
country; he might starve!''
st is quite possible"
The Kafr shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke be had
ever heard. He then explained the ri
diculous system to his companions, and
they roared IN chorus.
