Section Director

Toe patrons of the scaool taught by Miss
Julia Cuttino the past wiuter in the Lewis
Chapel neigbborhood gave big pic mic on
the closing day, Friday, April 9th, to chow
their high appreciation of her work. Two
other schools, taught by Miss Durant and
Miss Shaw, joined in, and in spite of the
cloudy weather and muddy roads, every one
had good time Base ball and other games
were played. Sumter also had 6 good repre-
sen,ation, and the boys are enthusiastic over
she ine dinner. That it was extra 6ne may
be Judged from the following One Of the
Sumter Toys, after going TO the tat:e and
eeing the quantities of good things reqoest-
ed his friend, another Sumter boy, TO punch
him when be- thought be had better stop: but
Sad 10 say, No becane 50 interested hi1-

from his neglect Of duty.

Danger in kissing the Book

Here is humble modicum of food
for reflection for the law courts oi
this country The town of Bradford,
England, has had chemical analysis
made of a Testament that has BEEN
in use in the Ripan court for sixty
wears 1t was estimated that some
40, 900 people had kissed this volume
during the period stated, and the
curious authorities Of Bradford, find
ing time hang heavily on their hands
NO doubt, conceived the idea OF
ascertainiog if any danger lay con-
cealed in the practice of kissing the
book =
II was rather late in the day to
make tic experiment, but, so far as
that goes. it was very English In
his report juat made, the chemist
states that no germs of typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, or diptheria were
found but he did identify "seven
species of micro organisms which ir
very interesting manner cover the
three divisions of the fungi order {"
The report then goes on to say thai
the only germ of dubious character
was one which is usually found or
wounded or sore lips Although this
is not necessarily harmful, there are
conditions in which it might produce
complications of an unpleasant ma
ture. and the chemist himself says
that he would refrain from any labia
intercourse with surface ON which
this germ.might be disporting itself.
We draw from this exhilaratine
analysis the deducation that if sail
vary germs could be left lying around
III that manner, other microbes of 9
more dangerous character could alst
be left /; and this seems to US a very
good argument against the effete ane
altogether useless practice Of "kiss
ing the book" to seal an oath ad
ministered in court, 1t is relic o
a bygone, superstitious era, and nov
that it has been proved to be fraugh
with actual danger to the health o
the community, there is no reason
whatever left for the continuance 0
the custom. Columbia Register.

Comes North.
Frederick j. Brown, of Baltimore,
supports with statistics the claim that,
contrary to the views held by census
officials, the trend Of colored migration
is from the southern to the northern
states, says an exchange. This
migration, he thinks, is on the in
crease. He finds from n study of the
natural increase of the colored popula-
ton that the rate decreases rs one goes
from the south to the north. Thus,
while it is 25 per cent. in ten years in
Florida, in South CAROLINA and Georgia
it is 1914, in North Carolina 1871,
in the border states Ga, and in
the northern states 81 OF pos
sibly' less. But the actual rate
of the increase of the colored pcpu!a-
ton Of the north in ten years was nearly
q per cent, and the difference between
this and the rate Of natural increase is
nscribcd by Mr.. Brown to migration
from the south. Mr.. Brown also shows
that there are great inequalities n the
distribution of the colorcd people in
the south. Ir some s"ct;O~GthC rcrroeS

further pointed out that. in these sec

Gently and it proved a success, says the
Omaha Bee. The device is in the shape
OF n COW. It is made of canvas, with
" steel frame, and can be folded into
a small space, except the head and
neck. The decoy is operated by two
men, n standing in the fore legs and
one in the hind legs, each in a slightly
stopping posture. It is painted brown
and black and in such shape that when
Standing up it cannot be readily dis

from a large cow. The front man can
zee what is going on through a couple

SEWERS and d. d. Curtis took the decoy
out in tho field and soo sighted a flock
0f geese. They put ON the decoy and
were able to get within less than 40
yards before the geese flew. They few

yards away and did not appear to be

COSTLIEST Of FISH HOOKS.

Orutc Attachments That Go with 1t.
The most costly of fish hooks are
those for tarpon. They are sold at re-
tail at various prices from one
dollar Il dozen for BARE hooks up
TO seven dollars u dozen for hooks
fitted up. The standard tarpon
..' our inches III length.
Some tarpon fishermen prefer to mount
their own hooks. They have ideas of
their own as to the hest way and the
best materials, says the New York Sun.
A swivel is always used. Some of the
hooks that arc sold fitted up have smells
of German silver chain. Sometimes
laccs OF raWbide or porpo;Sc skin are
used for smells. Some hooks are fitted
with smells of piano wire two feet long,
made in three lengths of eight inches
each, linked, to prevent linking. Fit
ted up. tarpon hooks that are sold at
seven dollars n dozen are provided with
36-inch braided or plated linen smells,
wound for two-thirds Of their length,
from the upper end downward, with
copper wire. The tarpop swallows the
hook ard it's teeth are b-ou"ht up on
The smell where it is protected by the
copper wire. Sometimes a shark takes
the bait. II is desired tt lose the shark
without the trouble of hauling it in and
casting 1T off, and the shark is likely to
free itself by biting through the I'M
protected lower third of the smell.
While the tarpon hook is the costliest
OF the hooks there are flys that sell for
more; there are some salmon fys that
