Tradition of the Wedding Ring.

The wearing Of the wedding ring on the
third finger OF the left hand follows the
custom OF the Egyptians. who believed
that finger to be directly connected by a
slender nerve to the heart itself. And
these ancient worshipers of Isis held this
finger sacred TO Apollo. and gold was
therefore chosen as the metal for the
ring.

Too many club women think only of
being entertained at the club meeting
they don't know much abou what was
said or done. they only know that
everything passed of smoothly and the
afternoon was a pleasant one. But the
earnest student cannot fail to observe
the great DANCE threatening the
women's club-the frantic effort to
grasp everything in sight-and long for
the time when club women will under
take less and accomplish more.

Columbia, Novcmbc, l3.-Durinr
Fair week thcro was good deal Of
political talk, tho echoes of which
arc still to bo heard.
Tho strength OF Governor Me.
Sweeney and tho strong position he
holds is being generally appreciated,
and very ittlo has boon said about
candidates against him.
Tho great question in connection
with the Gubcrnatoriul race, if thoro
IS to ho one, is purely rs to policy.
There WAS, as will bo remembered,
call for II confcrcnco of Prohibi-
t!onist5 hero durin Fair week. It
amounted to nothing 50 far us tho
number of those who attended the
conference was concerned. 1t is
stated that before tho campaign is
started it will DO announced that it
takes money to run Il campaign. or
course tho announcement is TO be
prolnced with tho statement that the
money is only to bo used for organiza.
ton and instruction, and for no other
purpose.
The Prohibitionits say that with
llttlo money for organization, and
tho opportunity Of encouraging the
voters and giving them information
they would havc won in tho lust
election.
If tho Prohibition strength pans
out no better than it has boon doing
in tho General Assembly their can
dld"tcs will only chase Il rainbow
AS the next campaign will include
tho Senatorial aggregation, if there
is to bo contest, there is little hopo
Of doing away with tho intcrminabo
campaigning Of tho State; that is,
going from county to county and
singing practically tho samo song in
county after county. Tho hope was
that somo ono would have tho State
Convention change this rule and
provide for ten or ftteon campaign
meetings, but if Senator Tillman
has anything to do with it ho will no
doubt insist upon his old platform of
meeting tho people faco to faco and
having campaign mooting in every
county.
