Curing Cramp in tho Leg.

With most people who suffer with
cramp in Tho leg it comes on worry
suddenly and is most severe. 1tusu-
ually scizes its victim just after going
to bed or while undressing. 1t is a
most simple matter, when you know
how to make the spasm to let go it's
hold. Provide yourself with strong
cord, and when the cramp comes on
take the cord, wind it round tho leg
over the place that is oramped and,
taking an end in each hand give it a
little pull, one that will hurt a little.
The cramp will instantly vanish and
the sufferer can 60 to bed assured
that it will not visit him or her again
that night.

And that the world turns round

The time for children's joy .".=.

Our faithful Carrier Boy.

state and Denoninational colleges. m
J. a.oyAl aAkIso r2Wpga Coz, liEW WORN.

An editorial in the KEowEE Cou-
RrER, upon "The Baptist State Com
vention and it's Institutions Of Learn.
ing," concludes with the following
two paragraphs: SS
"The state of South Carolina now
raises fos the State colleges between
$125,0O0 and $175,00O annually to
defray the expenses of these institu-
tions. These State colleges do not;
offer any higher standard of learning
than the denominational colleges, and
therefore, cannot justly claim the
speoisl favor of support by taxation
We make this prediction That in
the near future this taxation must
cease, or be greatly curtailed. l 4
"The sigus of the times indicate
that q conflict between the State and
denominational colleges is imminent.
The controversy can, and we think
will be, settled without detrimeat to
those institutions that furnish to the
young men and women of the State
the opportunity of acquiring indus:
trial and special training" .
We are satisfied that our esteemed
contemporary does not misinterpret
"the signs of the times" Not many
yeara ego, there arose a great de-
mand fora campaign of education--to
educate our people concerning the af-
fairs of our government. A campaign
of education is going to be demanded
to educate the people concerning the
expenditure of their hard earned
money for the support of colleges.
Our people do not object to colleges.
Not many of them object to State
colleges. But they do not under
stand why it takes 5000 to $35, 1000
to support a State college with no
higher standard and no better work
than is done by. a denominational
college with $4,000 to $4,000.
Of course, some think it is only
ignorance that causes any question
to be raised. Call it ignorance, or
whatever you please, but remember,
the issue is coming. When and how
will it Gomez That depends upon
the future management of our State
colleges, and the appropriations made
to them by our Legislature. If the
appropriations continue to be large,
the issue will come soon, and it will
"on>e with determination on the
part of the taxpayers that "this taxa
tion must cease, or be greatly cur
tailed" If our Legislature shall
begin to reduce the appropriations
to the State colleges, with the clear
understanding, made known to the
people, that as soon as possible, the
State colleges shall not come in un-
fair competition with the denomina-
tional colleges, then the issue will
come gradually, gently, and pass
quietly. Which method will be pur-
sued2 Our legislators must answer
that question. We only know that
it is coming in some form.-Pros-
nerit,y News. .-...:..

Address by the Carrier.

Now '98 is almost gono,
Its end is drawing mean
OF all the years that we have known,
The most ovontful year.
For we have faced the God of War
In all his grim array,
And vanquished him from shore to shor
And always won the day.
We know Our country stands tho test
Of holding greater sway,
But whether it is for the best
Is not for us to say.
But come with us to Phillippi,
Where dwell the powers that be,
And let us hear what wo can hear
And see what we can sec.
The Goddess Justice sits serene,
With eyen-balanced scales,
Aloft upon the pinnacle
Where only truth prevails,
While the tickle Goddess Fortune
Works her wheel, without tire,
And gives chance to every one
Who fortune may desire;
Whore rich men sit and chatter,
While poor mon fight and die,
And rich mon say, No matter
This is fun for you and l.
While tho morning sun is beaming
On many funeral pail,
And the Eagle is a-scroaming,
Life and liberty to all,
And as We sit in peace at home,
Still grieving for the slain,
Through all the years that arc to come
Wc1l not forgot the Maine.
Our town has boon a holocaust
1t burned before our eyes
But from the ashes of the past
VIII, PhoniX-likc, arise.
We're building up in better form.
Which proves we're moving on,
For brick and mortar take tho place
OF wooden structures gone
May all who come among us
Find quiet, happy home,
That Walhalla may be prosperous
Through all the years to como;
That God will bless our churches,
And our schools be of tho best,
AS in the record of the past
Walhalla stands the test.
May war be known no longer,
May happiness increase,
And Christmas prove in every sense
A timo of JOY and peace.
And may Our happiness be such
AS time cannot destroy
And please, kind friends, remember
Your faithful Carrier Boy.
