Speculation by machinery is the
latest enterprise launched in the
stock market. A deputy treas
urer and former treasurer of
the United States have lent their
names to the company, and the
securities are offered for sale with a
promise of 30 per cent returns upon the
capital invested. 1t is not asserted
that the machine wins every time, but
in the gross operations this gratifying
per cent profit is represented as as
sured. The machine is a year old, and
is said to be in use in England. AS
a new and surprising evolution of the
penny-in-the-slot idea, this is clearly
entitled to outrank all other grab-bag
schemes. The medieval alchemists

the people OF the whole State we feel
sure that orr people generally will be in

roer up to the present time. They are
entitled to know what manner of man

ire invited to entrlIst their daughters
Bishop Cheshire. president of the
Board Of Trustees of st. Mary's School,
has known Mr. Rratton for some years.
and has frequently visited him in his
home and parish ut Spartanburg. lie
IS also known to other local members
of the board. We are glad to he enabled
to give the following brief sketch OF
his life up to his election as rector Of
St Mary's.
Theodore DuBose Bratton, son of the
late General John Bratton, of Winnes-
bnro s. c.. and Elizabeth DuBose, his
wife. was born at his fathers place call
Cd Roselands. near Winnesboro, in 1862.
lie was educated wholly at the
University OF the South. Sewanee, after
such rrdimentary instructions as he
received at home in the family, and is
one of the hest of the many fine speci-
plens Of the work of that University.
Before completing his undergraduate
course he was made proctor Of the Uni
versity in 1882 an office of great trust
and Importance at that time in the dis
fepline Of the University, and for several
years he was an assistant master IN the
University Grammar School. lie was
graduated from the Theological Depart
ment Of the University in 1887. and was
ordained deacon bv Bishop Howe the
same year. and in 1888 was advanced to
the Priest hood, and became rector of
the Church Of the Advent, Spartanburg.
Strong efforts have been made to induce
him to remove to large parishes, as, for
example, when a few years ago. he was
called to St Michaefs church. Charles
ton, hut he and his faithful flock resisted
all efforts to part them.
Mr. Bratton's standing among the
clergy of his native diocese is indicated
by the positions he has held by the ac-
ton Of their convention. He has been
an examining chaplain, member of the
Standing Committee, several times a
deputy to the General Convention, trus-
tee Of the University of the South, and
of the Porter Academy, member of the
Missionary Board, and at the last con-
vention he was one of the committee
appointed TO consider the ACCESSIBILITY
Of erecting IN additional diocese III
the State of South Carolina.
When Converse College was organized
i'm 1890 Mr. Bratton was invited to be-
come member of the faculty, and
electing the Chair of History has filed
it up to the present time with equal
credit to himself and advantage to his
classes.
This brief account shows Mr. Bratton
to be man whose training has been
such as to qualify him for the peculiar
duties Of his new position: and yet the
qualities which determined the choice
Of the trustees Of st. Mary's were those
fine qualities az mind and heart. those
suhtler gifts of influence and guidance
and inspiration, that power of moulding
and directing the development of char
