that lung trouble and consumption
are durable in any climate is proven

Patton's RediStricting Bill.

offered during the primary cam

bated hy the candidates whether
they should speak 1T kingstree
no one knowing whether it really
was in the district.
As a matter of law, ifthe town
ship lines as shown upon stale
maps are accurate, the town OF
Kinestree cannot be in the sixth
district, notwithstanding the ac,
ofthe general assembly which de-
claras hat it shall be. The town
ship of Kings in which kinsstree
is situate, belongs to the first
Unless. therefore, the corporate
limits of Kingstree extend to Sum
ter township. in the sixth, which
from the map does not appear 10
be the case, the act Of the general
assembly placing the town in the
sixth district is void as being In
conflict with the requirement of
congress that all the territory Of
the district shall be "con'iguous." ="
Another principal objection
that was urged against the present
districts is the placing portions OF
the same county. and even of a
single tow ms nip. as in the Kings
tree matter,.in different districts.

little Georgia girl: Temperance,
is more better than whiskey. Whis-
key is 10 cents drink, and lots of
it. My pa drinks whiskey. He has
been full 113 times. One night he
came home late, and my ma went
out and cut some hickories and wal
loped him good. Then she ducked
his head in tub Of soapsuds and
locked him up in the barn. And the

once an Irishman, observes the
Budget, who sought employment IA a
diver, although he had never been
beneath the water. The firm chanced
to need new man and so on the
following Monday morning Pat hid
his smile for the first time in a div
ing helmet. The crew to which he
had attached himself was working
in comparatively shallow water, and
Pat was provided with pick and
told to use it on a ledge below
Down he went with his pick, and
for about fifteen minutes nothing
was heard from him. Then came a
strong pull on the signal-rope, indi-
eating that Pat had a very decided
wish to come to the top. The as
sistants pulled him hastily to the
raft and removed his helmet.
Take off the rist av it," said
Pat.
"Take off the rest of it?"

SIN-TEAR-OLD LOGIC.-A little
girl six years old was on a visit to
her grandfather who was New Eng
land divine, celebrated foi his logical
powers, says the Philadelphia Ameri-
can.
"Only think, grandpa, what Uncle
Robert says"
What does he say, my dear ?"
Why, he says the moon is made
of green cheese. 1t isn't at all, is
?"
Well, child, suppose you find
out for YOURSELF"
How can |, grandpa?"
Get your Bible, and see what it
says"
Where shall begin ?"
Begin at the beginning"
The child sat down to read the
Bible. Before she got more than
half way through the second chap
ter of Genesis, and had read about
the creation of the stars and the ami
mails, she came back to her grand
father, her eyes all bright with the
excitement of discovery. "I've
found it, grandpa. 1t isn't true :;
for God made the moon before he
made cows"
