LONG GREEK, S. c., March 28.-Thc
weather is still changeable, but warm, SO
that the fruit trees arc putting forth their
tendor shoots. Peach trees arc bloom
ing, but tho blooms are scattering.
A. little pl0wing has been begun on

We see good many wagons going to
market from Georgia, laying in spring
supplies, and tho best part is they pay
up as thoy buy.
The Long Crock school closed last Sat
urday. Tho day was cloudy, but there
was largo gathering of citizens with
thoir children to witness tho closing OK
ercisos, which were very interesting.
Strict attention and remarkably good
order prevailed during the entire exhibi-
ton.
At 5 o'clock Prof. J. Reynolds, tho
efficient teacher, arranged tho students
in limo for short march. While in line
tho teacher presented each scholar q
package of nice candy. They were then
| marched forward to tho right sdo of q
long table, laden with a splendid supper.
Everybody was mado welt ONE and in

At n school meeting held two weeks

to bring filled baskets, as tho time for
closing was at night; but tho ladies from
all around sent tho teacher word to
announce that thoy intended giving hin,

was mado glad, and said TO tho writor
that ho would always romember the

TIE PENITENTIARY DIRECTORS.
Chairman Cunningham of tho board of
directors Of the State penitentiary along
with his olleagues, Messrs. Garris and
Tatnm, belong to tho porquisite class.
The law ailows thcm 10 cents mile and
81 a day for every meeting of tho board.
The 81 was intended to cover thoir hotel
bills and other expenses whilo in session.
When Col. Neal offered to fit up room
in tho guards sleeping apartments and
to servo meals to them FREQ of individual
cost to themselves, but at tho expense of
tho State, they acquiescod. That arrage-
mcnt has obtained from tho limo Col.
Neal became superintendent until tho
present committee began its investiga.
of hotels and boarding housos in tho
city. Tho carriage and pair of horses,
which by courtesy tho board kept for
Col. Neal at tho States expense, is also
used by the directors whom they como to
Columbia on business
Taking thom soratim, Chairman Cum
ningham got wardrobe free which was
valued at $50 by tho makor. Mention of
this does not occur in the directors re-
port. AS Mr.. Cunningham, in answer to
Mr.. Patton's questions to-day, said he
regarded furniture as cOmmissary sup
plies and promised to uso his utmost on
deav0rs to collect all such outstanding
accounts, it is moro than probable that
tho State will get paid for this particular
wardrobe.
Mr.. s. 2. j. Garris had sont to him
5000 brickbats which were worthless to
tho State but of enough valuo to warrant
him paying $3.50 freight on, IIO also
bought several articles Of furniture for
which ho paid about half tho valuation
placed on them by tho maker. Accord
Ing to tho Testimony, he has boon losing
sleep for the last threo weeks trying to
pay for pair OF Berkshire pigs he got
from tho State farm. At tho special re-
quest of Mr.. Hay Chairman Cunning
ham has agreed to relieve Mr.. Garris's
anxiety by accepting pay for the pigs
whenever tendorod.
Special mention is duo Mr.. Tatum as
being tho only member of tho board who
was content with his board and lodgings
and carnage to ride in while in Column
bia on pcnitentiary business.
AT TIE FOOT.
Manager Cooley, of tho Reed farm,
took in o. lame horse for treatment, fed
It month ont of tho Statos crib, and
was then paid $t3 for tho cure. Uo also

farce for commanding officers to call at police
headquarters to exchange mutual compli-

behavior of their regiment while in town,
and then to march out to Waikiki and march
them "mother naked into few inches OF
water, in plain sight of suburban household
ers. 1t is more than embarrassing to be
driving along the Waikiki road in the after
noon and at sudden bend to bring ones
mother, wife, sister or sweetheart, as the case
may be, into practically the midst of horde
of naked men. Some few, very few, have
had the decency to retain their under draw
ers, the others form belt of nudity that shuts
off the women and children of Kapiolani

necessity, the men by the regulations being

MY MOST NOTABLE
THANKSGIVING
By FRANK X. STOCKTON
Z ~ ~ ~ Il. ~ NJ ~, =. =. ~ =. IL


1t was Thanksgiving time, nearly
thirty years ago. To. the ordinary in
habitant of that portion of this coun-
try where then dwelt the season was
very much like other seasons OF
autumnal fruition; there was nothing
In the earth, the skies, or the waters
that gave to this period any peculiar
ity which would distinguish 1T from
the similar period Of any other year,
past or to come.
But there was something that made
this Thanksgiving season very pecu-
liar in my eyes. For some time the
whole world had seemed to me to be
permeated by the knowledge that
something was about to happen which
had never happened before, and which
could not, by any possibility, happen
again.
/ had always loved the Thanksgiv-
brightness and color in which the land
scape reveled in October was lost,
but the rich browns of the oaks, the
heavy green's Of the pines and the
cedars, lighted up here and there by
some late hanging sumac leaves or
reddening ivy, with hill and dale
gently softened by the mists of Indian
summer, made a picture in which /
delighted as much as / did in the
beauties Of any other season.
But In this year the late autumn foil
age was much finer than / had ever
known 1t before. Van Dyke never
dreamed of such browns as / now saw,
and the curtains of distant mist seemed
ever about to rise upon visions of
even greater beauty than those which
then entranced me.
/ had always liked the first keen
winds which had come to us as the
avant couriers Of winter, making 1t
delightful to walk and be out of doors,
and also agreeable and satisfactory to
60 into the house. But this year there
was a sparkling spice in the air which
IL would have been impossible for
other people to understand. even If
they had perceived it. / knew 1t was

did not care snap Of my fingers
whether or not anybody else knew
anything about it.
In those days, after the regular
periods of meteoric showers, there
used to be good many falling stars
which appeared q be left over from
the grand display, and l had always
been accustomed to watch for these
with a great deal of interest, for the
reason that / generally forgot to go
out OF doors on the regular star-fall-
ing nights, and, therefore, was natur-
ally anxious to make the best of what
was left of the shower.

warded my vigilance by falling in the
latter part Of November were excep-

more and Ohio Rail Road will be be-
gun at once, and most of the heavy
work will have been completed by
spring.
The Chicago division work includes
reductions between Titfin, o., and At
tica, where a 2S-foot grade will be re-
duced to IS feet, for distance of 10
miles, the heaviest cut being at Repub-
lie.
At Teegarden, Ind, there are 175'OOO
cubic yards to be removed, to reduce
the grade from % to 16 feet. Between
Garrett and Ripley, Ind, there will be
a relocation of the line for seven miles,
reducing a 26foot grade to 16 feet,
both east and west bound.
These reductions will cost about
$500, 900, but will allow an increase of
nearly 80 per cent in train loading
