Not PrOnerly Coached.

The visitor who had been asked to ad-
dress the Sunday-school came forward
"Children," he said, "your superintend-
ont has told you that am considered one
of the wealthy men of the country.
Whether that is true or not, l want to
tell you one thing l know absolutely, and
that is that riches do not make happiness.
They only add to ones cares. Children,
what does make happiness:"
"Circuses" shouted one of the urchins
in the infant class.
No, my son" said the visitor, with a
frown. "Circuses do not make happiness
Being good and obedient, mindful of the
lessons you learn here and faithful to
carry them out in your lives is the only
thing that will make you happy. Will
some little boy tell me what it is that is
said to make one healthy, wealthy and
wise;"
"toinin' trust" yelled the 6-ycar-old
on the front seat
And the visitor gave it up and took his
seat The children Of that Sunday-school
did not seem to have been grounded in
the rudiments.

We sincerely trust that every member
of the new city council has made up his
mind to make record while in charge OF
town affairs-not a record in regard to
trying to leave comfortable balance In
the town treasury when their term OF Of
fee expires, but record of unsurpassed
public improvement 1t is indeed fact
that there are many Improvements needed
herein fact some are real necessities
and We do hope that council is going to
give them to us. We need better streets,
we need better sidewalks, We need better
street lights, we need better system OF
drainage with terra Gotta pipe and coy-
cred bitches, as well as many other things.
These will suffice for the present, but
others can be mentioned some other time.
There is absolutely no excuse for council
not improving the streets, sidewalks,
lights, etc., for the money is in the town
treasury to pay for it. There is con-
siderable amount of money on hand now,
and our officials should remember that it
is not theirs to hoard, but it belongs to
Z the people of the town who paid it in, and
it should be spent for their benefit, for
improvements which they need and want.

The Doctor and Editor.

The doctor from Algonia said that
newspapers are run for revenue only.
What in thunder do doctors run for, any
way? Do they run for glory? One good
healthy doctors bill will run his office
six months An editor works half day
for S. with an investment of $4,000; a
doctor looks wise and works ten minutes
for So with an investment of three cents
for catnip and a pill box that cost $1.37.
A doctor goes to college for three years,
gets diploma and string of words the
devil himself cannot pronounce, cultivates
look of gravity that he pawns off for
wisdom, gets box of pills, a cayuse and
a meat saw, and sticks out his shingle, a
full fledged doctor. He will then doctor
you until you die, at a stipulated price
per visit, and puts them in as thick as
your pocketbook will permit. An editor
never gets his education finished; he
learns as long as he lives, and studies all
his life. He eats bran mash and liver,
he takes his pay in hams and turnips, and
keeps the doctor in town by refraining
from printing the truth about him. We
would like to live in Algonia and run a
newspaper about six months and see If
the doctor would change his mind about
our running a newspaper for revenue
only" If we didn't get some glory Out OF
it we would agree to take one dose of his
pills, after saying our prayers. If the
editor makes mistake he has to apollo
gize for it; but the doctor buries it. 1t
we make one there is lawsuit, tall
swearing, and smell of sulphur; but If
the doctor makes one there is funeral,
cut flowers, and smell of varnish. The
doctor can use word foot long; but If
the editor uses it he has to spell it. If
the doctor goes to see another mans wife
he will charge for the visit. If the editor
calls on another mans wife he gets a
charge Of buckshot. Any medical college
can make doctor. You can't make an
editor He has to be born one. When a
doctor gets drunk it is a case of "over-
come by heat :" if he dies it is heart fail
ure. When an editor gets drunk it is
case of too much booze, and if he dies il
is case of delirium tremens.
The editor works to keep from starving,
while the doctor works to ward off the
gout. The editor helps men to live better,
and the doctor assists them to die easy.
The doctor pulls sick mans leg, the
editor is glad if he collects his bills at all.
Revenue only! We are only living for
fun and to spite the doctors.-1owa Med
ical Journal.

a prescription which called sfor two
grains of morphine in two ounces Of
aqua pura-that is. distilled water-the

teaspoonful every hour until the pain
is allayed.' The patient for whom it
was intended was the head Of the fam

tack Of nervous neuralgia.
"Now, it so happened that the fam

scription was behind tt*e counter when
the messenger arrived. having dropped
in, as was his wont, on the way to his
Office. While was putting up the pre-
scripticn we chatted and laughed and
joked and passed the time Of day as
only professional men are capable Of
doing. I filled the bottle, corked 1t
carefully and labeled it properly, and
when the retreating form Of the do

WHAT HE SAYS OF THE ELKs.
Mr.. Jones was asked what he had to
say in regard to the resolutions passed by
the Elks of Savannah Tuesday night. He
said:
You may say that l am the guest of an
Elk and have met several here and they
indorse what | have said about the Elks.
The Elks of Waycross have not had a
meeting in six months, so am told, and
this being dry town, it is impossible to
keep an Elk lodge alive here.
An Elk that don't drink is as much
out of place in his lodge as Baptist
claiming fellowship with his brethren
who says he don't believe in close COM
munion and immersion.
An Elk lodge that don't have beer IN
it would be as bard to find as to locate a
woman who didn't own looking glass.
Women will have mirrors and Elks will
have beer. The fact that the saloon
keepers and liquor dealers make mp large
part of the Elk membership convinces
me that if you want to stay sober you had
better stay out of that gang.
If the Elks will take the temperance
pledge, I'll apologize for what I've said.
If the Elks will quit getting Elky I'll quit
saving ANYTHING against them"

Thursday, May l6, 1901.
The summer schools for teachers are
simply waste of money, and we hope to
see very few held in the State this year.

One of the dirsiest campaigns that has
ever been carried on against any man in
South Carolina is now being indulged In
by some newspapers against Senator Nc
Laurin. We believe that every man and
newspaper has right to an opinion, and
if they differ from US we see no reason to
judge them harshly. But that newspapers
should be guilty of such methods as are
now being practiced by some, makes us
ashamed for the fraternity. They see
they can't defeat McLaurin by argument
and are trying Misrepresentation and in,
sinuation.

While we are indeed glad to see oul
people taking so much interest in public
improvements, good roads, etc., we would
be simply delighted if they would turn
their attention to the erecting OF new
graded school building. Every one will
admit that the present building is totally
inadequate for the needs of the school,
besides being very uncomfortable and in
bad condition generally. If we expect
che town to grow and prosper, we must
be ready to spend money for public ne
cessities, and new school building GER
tainly comes under this head.
