keep us together longer than that, that would keep us together when love had ended.''
 This is typical of all the mans utter ances. What we want to do seems to i'll his whole mind. Nowhere Is there any conception of duty higher than that to self. Nowhere is there 8 glimmer of real ization of responsibilities voluntarily as- sumed Four children brought into the world by Heron without asking their consent are deprived of a fathers care.
 We say nothing of the deserted wife, who. 1t may be said, married him with her eyes opon. and deserves all she got. But the children at least are not to blame for the fact that the Flaw of love" has turned their fathers fancy in new directions. If he had not been eaten up with selfish conceit he would have sacri- feed some of his delicate sensibllities for their sake and continued to be true to the woman whom ho once thought good enough to be their mother.

STORM AT cREENvILLE.
Houses Were unroofed, Trees Were
 Blown Down and Crops Damaged.

Greenville, June "A storm of almost cyclonic proportions past over this city yesterday morning about 5 o'clock doing considerable damage to buildings, fencing and out-houses. The court house and another large building owned by the county and used for county purposes, together with several business houses. were unroofed. These were brick buildings and covered with tin. The wind peeled the tin roof off in sec tions and carried it to the gound. Many handsome shade trees were uprooted, and fencing for many miles around the city was leveled, and outside of the town num- bers of large trees were also blown down.
 For some hours before the wind reached It's greatest velocity, the atmosphere seemed to be charged with electricity and the lightning was almost incessent A heavy rain fell before the storm broke.
 The Fourth of July will be celebrated in this city by reunion of the Confed- crate Veterans. A meeting was held yes- terday by number of of the veterans and Sons of Veterans. and programme ar ranged for one of the best and most elab- crate reunions ever held in the county. Gen. John T. Morgan is expected to be present. His coming will bring many of his old comrades here to see him once more, before the final roll call. If he does not come, there will be large number of the ''old boys here, together with their .sons and daughters
 While it Is county reunion, still all who may attend will be most cordially welcomed

FOLKLORE IN THE SOUTH.

From Modern Culture.
 Tho stern frown of the preacher, who looks upon superstition as the ally of the evil one, the scornful sheer or the teach- CT, who sees in 1t part oe the livery of bondage, have driven this quaint combi- nation of ancestral traditions to the re- mote chimney corners of old black aunt ies, from which it is difficult for the stranger to unearth them. Mir. Harris, in his Uncle Remus stories, has. with fine literary discrimination, collected and put into pleasing and enduring form the plantation stories which dealt with anil nal lore, but so little attention has bean paid to those dealing with so-cs1ied oon- juration that they seem in fair way to disappear withou. leaving trace be- hind. The loss may not be very great. but these vanishing traditions might fur nish valuable data for the sociologist in the future study of racial development.
 Tn writing. few years ago, the volume entitled. sThe Conjure Woman" I sus- pect that I was more influenced by the literary value of the material than by it's sociological bearing. and therefore took or thought I did. considerable liberty with my subject. Imagination, however. can only act upon data; one must have
