MUST PAY UP.

Some towns and cities have found it
necessary to require its officials to pay
their debts under penalty of being re-
moved from office. The Swan Quarter COR
respondent of the Washington Messenger
says that Hyde county will make payment
of taxes a condition precedent to holding
any school office:
1.-THE County Board of Education refused
to appoint any person school committee
man who has been returned as an in
solvent on the sheriff's insolvent list and
authorized the county superintendent Of
schools to notify all teachers of the pub
lie schools who are behind in their taxes
Of the advisability of paying them before
applying for a teachers certificate"
AS the school fund gets most of the
school tax, this regulation ought not to
be necessary But no tax -dodger ought to
be permitted to hold any position of trust
or honor.

DESERTED ALL THE VITAL PRIN.
CIPLES.

The defenders land apologists of Me-
Laurin say that he has not quit the
Democratic party, but is fighting what
they choose to call modern populistic
tendencies If it were true that he was
doing this, men might criticize his course,
but none could deny his right to the name
Democrat. The best qualified man in
South Carolina to define "old time" Demo-
cratic principles is General Wade Hamp-
ton. He is now spending the summer at
Sapphire. North Carolina. Asked If he
thought McLaurin would be reelected, the
great soldier answered:
"No, l think McLaurin will not be
elected again. HE HAS DESERTED ALL
THE VITAL PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE
BEEN INCORPORATED IN EVERY
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM SINCE THE
FORMATION OF THE PARTY, and |

cratic Senator in Washington will say that

not give him my support You see,

and after having worked so many years
in the interest of that party it would not
become me at this stage of life to trans
form myself into a Republican"
We wish 20 call the attention of any
good men, who may have been disposed
to listen to the hypocritical claim that
McLaurin is only demanding a right to
be heard in opposition to the bosses, "
to General Wade Hampton's assertion:
"McLaurin has deserted ALL the VITAL
PRINCIPLES that have been Incorporated
in EVERY DEMOCRATIC platform since
the FORMATION of the party" The par
ty may be said to have been formally
formed in 1886 and to have won it's first
victory in 1900, Will the apologists of Nc
Laurin's Republicanism now say that it
'1s~onfyA .populistic tendencies" that Nc
Laurin exposes, when General Wade
Hampton says he has deserted "all the
vital principles" in every platform for
one hundred years?

Some Radical and boiling papers find
precedent for McLaurin's refusal to re-
sign. When Senator Lindsey, of Ken
lucky. bolted in 1896, the Legislature re-
auested him to resign. OF course he re-
fused, but when his term expired IN the
Senate he went to New York to practice
law. There is no political resurrection for
him in Kentucky, and he is man OF real
ability Therein he differs very much
from McLaurin.

A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY.

Wonderful Feats Attributed to an Indi-
ana Man.
The claim Is now made that Arthur
Grifith, the Indiana mathematical
prodigy, excels in his work Buxton,
the Englishman. Griffith now has eight
different methods OF his own for addi-
ton, 10. for division, and "a for null
tiplication. He can take any number.
IT Is said. between 970 and 1000. and
raise 1t to the fifth power in 80 Sec
onds without the use Of either pencil
or paper.
Griffith can add mentally three col
umns at a time. 1t is asserted; divide
any set of figures or multiply any set
of figures In from one to 40 seconds
and extract square and cube roots In
from three to Is seconds. He remem-
bers every problem that he works
The hardest test which he has yet
been given. 80 he claims. Is to stand
and see q freight train pass with 20
or 30 cars. and then tell the number
of each car in their order and specify
to what road each belonged.
Besides being q wonder in mathe.
MATES, Grifith is fairly well edu
Gated in the common school studies
He can read. write. and spell, andssaf
carry on an intelligent and interest
ing conversation. He knows the name
and length of every railroad In tht
country. and besides being about A
percent ahead of Buxton in the line o.
mathematics he is at least 80 percen
ahead Of him In other studies.

A Benevolent Trout.

In "Wild Life in Hampshire High
lands" George A. B. Dewar gives this
incident of philanthropy among fish:
II was fishing one day. some twelve
seasons ago, at Testcombe, where the
Anton joins the Test, when I saw
swimming slowly along the side of the
stream just below me q large black
trout of about two pounds. 1t was
year when there were many fish SUI
fering from fungoid disease, and this
trout had the fungus all over Its head.
and was evidently quite blind.
Behind this sick trout was q fine
healthy trout of about one and one
half pounds. Both swan slowly along
close to the side, SO that l was able
to watch them for about ten minutes.
The healthy trout was watching over
the sick one. Whenever the sick fish
got too near the edge of the stream
the healthy one would swim inside
and gently push the former in the side
with its nose, and so get 1t out into
deeper water.
This was done repeatedly, until /
put my landing net under the diseased
fish and took 1t out of the water.
when the healthy one left the spot.
have not the slightest doubt that
the healthy fish had taken charge of
the sick one.

Cattle and Water.

It is not at all unusual to see cattle
pastured in a field in which the only
water supply is small, stagnant pond
Dr. two, covered with green scum, and
filed with animalculae and water in
sects; and to see other cattle watered
from barrels that have collected the
rain water from the roofs of the barns
aud outbuildings, and which frequent
swarm with larvae of the mosquito,
besides being impure and stagnant;
TO see cattle driven quite distance
only once a day for water when If at
hat time some of them do not feel
ike drinking they must endure their
thirst another "a hours.
Water plays one of the most impor-
tant parts in the make up of every
wing being. Life can be sustained
quite time on water alone. How i'm
,ortant it is then to see that the cows
whose milk we drink and whose flesh
we eat have their water fresh and pure
instead of being contaminated by the
absorption, of that which is impure

Creative Ability.

The young man in demand every
where to-day is the one who can create
something. the man Of productive
power. There are many who can do
routine work, follow prescribed lines,
carry out in detail program mapped
out by others. but the man of original
force, of constructive energy, who can
start out in untrodden paths and blaze
the way for others, is as rare as he is
valuable.
There is always a premium on the
thinker. the man Of original ideas and
methods and real productive force.
Insurance companies are securing the
country for such men; merchants are
in need of them. great combinations
are looking for them as leaders; they
are wanted in law, in the business
world, in the field of science. in all
walks Of life.-Success.

Cabbage. as a Profitable Crop.

The cabbage crop can be made
profitable one on the farm, as all heads
not sold in market may be used as
green food in winter for cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry. Beginning with
the early varieties, and following with
intermediate and late kinds, one crop
may mature after another, while the
ground from which the early heads
are sold may be planted to turnips.
It is possible to have cabbage nearly
all the year round by proper methods
Of growing and storage. The very ear
ly heads are grown in cold frames.
Cabbages thrive OK rich soil that has
been heavily MANFRED, and as the
crop is one that draws largely on the
soil, and the plants are also gross
feeders, there is no risk Of giving too
much manure. 1t is crop that thrlves
with frequent hoeing or cultivation,
every working of the soil seeming to
benefit the plants. To make them
start off in growth rapidly scatter a
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda around
each plant and hoe it into the soil.
A little later, just as the plants are
beginning to head. repeat the applica-
ton of nitrate of soda.
