Bambers Graded School.

The Bamberg graded school will open
ON next Tuesday, the 10Th, at half past
nine. All friends are invited to be present
at the opening.
The teachers will have charge Of the
| grades as follows: Miss Gertie Hamilton,
| first grade; Miss Mary Mcmillan, second
and third grades; Mrs. j. A. Murdaugh
fourth and fifth grades; Miss Leila Black,
sixth and seventh grades; Mr.. G. K. Cal
houn, eighth and ninth grades. All are
teachers of last year except Miss Hamil-
ton. Miss Hamilton is from Charleston,
graduate of the Memn.inger Normal
School, and comes highly recommended.
| She will give her whole time to the first
grade, and it is hoped to make 1t very
pleasant for the little ones.
That the graded school is fulfilling its
mission is not questioned. 1t is giving a
thorough course of instruction through
nine years, preparing its graduates for
any college in the state. 1t is run aoso-
lutely free of all expense to the children
of the district and thus provides school
ing for a large number who otherwise
would be deprived of it.
The school costs on an average OF about
eighty cents per month per pupil. This
is cheaper than the cheapest tuition can
be obtained for primary scholar.
Parents should see to it that their child
rem do not miss the opportunity of OBJ
tanning all the instruction possible while
they are young. AS they grow older the
desire to attend the high school grows
less and less. You allow your boy to
quit school because he has q chance to
make fifty or seyenty-five cents day.
This NAV result in his not making more
than that throughout his life. Keep him
in school and the opportunity may be
given for his entering college when least
expected.
1t is no uncommon thing to see men
twenty-five years old in the Freshman
class in college, this would not have been
possible unless they had finished the hlgh
school when younger. ,
The man with the unframed MIND
stands poor show in the world. If ne
has been brought up in some one line OF
work perhaps he may succeed in this.
Even his pleasure in life may be less; his
jov comes through his emotion which
soon expands itself. The intellectual
pleasure is deeper, keener, and more abld-
ing. ,, e
The graded school has fine board of
trustees and an excellent corps of teach
ers. They strive to do no superficial work
but to lay deep the foundation OF pre-
paratory education.

4 GERMAN L.AMENr.

The Germans who want their country the surrender of the Boers is a heavy blow. Not only on political grounds says the Rheinisch-W Westfalische Zei- tung, is the situation serious, seeing that as a South African colonial power we shall in future be face to face with q compact and gigantic South African power which is entirely English, and which is no more menaced by a Boer state. We shall also have to suffer from commercial exclusion. England is now supreme over the Boer republics, and will consequently have a vast quantity of custom to dispose of. All the railroads will be built by England; all German monopolies, like the famous abolished; English not German, off cials will be employed; industry subject to English influence will be preferred, and English goods, English imports, will be favored by the customs arrange ments, In a word, portion of the earth is once more lost as a market for the products of German labor and is secur- ed for our English rival"
 This lament is a correct description of the situation, Of course England will get all the trade she can out of her new possessions, They have cost her much

A coon MEMORY

At little dinner the other night the statement was made that the colored race had longer memories than white folk. Mark Twain, who was present agreed with the remark, and to prove 1t told the following:
 Some years ago, when South, I met an old colored man who claimed to have known George Washington. I asked him if he was in the boat when General Washington crossed the Delaware, and he instantly replied Tor, massa. I steered dat boat
 We'll said I, do you remember when George took the hack at the cher ry tree?'

ILSZT IN LIGHTER MOOD.

| Liszt very often came in the evening
 to the piano and play for hours. Some 1 times, however, he announced that he could not play. He said he had little talent for music, but he could play whist And what whist it wasi Never have I seen aything so queer. Nobody
 seemed to have the most parliamentary
 idea of returning their partners lead, usually preferring to return their ad- versarys. Under trumping was fre- quent and revokes not unknown. There were no markers; everybody had a bit
 of paper and pencil, and Jotted down the progress of the game. The
 ''canonico," a priest who came nearly every evening, was the only person who had the faintest notion of how the game should be played. This, however, was a doubtful advantage, as it caused him to lose his temper violently; and totally forgetting his manners, he spoke to ev- erybody, including the prince, in the second person plural, instead of the po' lite third person. Liszt meanwhile sat  serenely, with his long hair falling back and a sweet smile on his face, as if wrapt in Elysium. Once, in passing through the room, I asked What are trumps?'' Liszt put his hand on his heart and said, Les occurs regnent toujours"
 Frequently, however, he went to the piano. One evening he volunteered to play a duet with Donna Louisa, the eld- est daughter, who was to play on the harmonium. She objected that she had only begun to learn that instrument, that she knew but one tune, and even of it only the first part, which she could play with the right hand only. That will do quite well; let us hegin' said Liszt They accordingly began, and he improvised the most exquisite va riations on the simple little theme Presently he got completely absorbed in the music and Donna Louisa stopped. Very soon, however he perceived this and broke off abruptly with "Well, why don't we go on?" and she had to

lie who Knows Ia Book.

With staff in hand and dusty shoon, l walked from morning till high noon; Then rested for a little while Upon the green grass by brook, And with a morsel and a book
 Forgot me many mile. And then upon my way l strode With bending back beneath the load,
 Until the night beset my way With cheerful thought on song and tale, And so fare by hill and vale,
 Contented, day by day. For he who knows a book to read May travel lightly without steed
 And find sweet comfort on the road. He shall forget the rugged way, Nor sigh for kindly company,
 Nor faint beneath his load.

POLICY AS IT IS.

1 We suppose there are some people l who can't learn to let policy alone, | but recent revelations ought to teach those who want any show for their money to shun such a game as the game of policy is. In the trial in New York I of Adams, "the Policy King" witness who has worked for Adams at the head quarters of the game has made it clear that policy is not gambling but robbery Gambling involves an element of chance, and in the straight" gambling the chances of the outsider against the house are somewhere nearly equal, say, forty to sixty. But in policy, as this witness describes it. the chances of the outsider are reduced as low as possible.
 After the plays are made in the various
 shops the numbers played are taken in
 to headquarters. Then the drawing of
 the successful numbers is supposed to
 be made from wheel But, according
 to the witness, that supposition is the
 barest fiction. The head of the business
 looks over the slips and selects for win
 ming numbers those which have either
 not been played at all or have been
 played for very small sums. Of course,
 there must be a few winners to keep the game af1oat, but they are regulated just as they are by the sharpers who play with marked cards.
 Careful study and application of the principles of "the dream book" wont beat such a game as that, and it is a dream for anybody to think it can be beaten.

QUEER ACTION, QUEER rAnK.

The Rev. John Thompson, pastor of Centennial Methodist church, Rockford Illinois, must be a queer man. He de- clares that he will never use the title of Doctor of Divinity which was con ferred on him the other day by Taylor University, and he adds: Tn my judg ment the degree of D. D. should be re- served for men who have displayed ex- traordinary scholarly attainments or have accomplished great things in their work. The question is not one to be settled by a decision as to whether the school is big enough, but whether the man is big enough. He should be judged by himself, and not by the diplo- mas and scholarships and degrees he bears"
 Of course the queer example set by Brother Thompson will not be initiated, nor will his queer talk find approval. Just think of minister who can be called Doctor refusing to be so called, when many ministers pull all the wires they can to get the coveted title which distinguishes them from other minis ters! And just think of the absurdity of judging man by himself, and not by his titles! What a dreary world it would be for many if the titles didn't count, and how many there would be who wouldn't be distinguished" Brother Thompson is too severe, and too ready to interfere with harmless pleasure.

CAN'T STAND RUSSIA TION.

How much the Films don't like the withdrawal of the autonomous rights which they had so long enjoyed, and the remorseless process of Russianiza- ton to which they have been subjected, is indicated by the emigration figures, which show that thousands of them are going into voluntary exile rather than endure the new condition of affairs at home According to the latest official figures, it appears that from 1891 to 1898 inclusive-that is. under the old system-the yearly average number of emigrants from Finland was 3,378. In 1899 the number was 12357; in 1900 it was 10,642; and in 1901, 12,659. During the first two months of the current year, no fewer than 5,057 Films emil grated, and the volume is now greater than ever, owing to recent events in Finland, It is computed, by those who have the means of knowing, that by the end of this year at least 35,000 Films will have emigrated within the twelve months. This number would probably be larger but for the authorities refus- ing to allow young men to depart whose ages make them liable to military con- scription.
 Many of the discouraged Films are coming to this country, and their

Albert W. Paine of Bangor, Maine, has just completed his sixty seventh year of practice at the Penobscot bar, having been admitted in the spring of 1885, one year after the incorporation of Bangor as city and fifteen years after Maine became a State. He is probably the oldest lawyer in point of continuous practice in New England, if not in the country. He will be ninety years old on the 18th of August, and is still in sound bodily health, his only infirmity being a slight deafness. He writes a legible hand, and does all of his own office work. never having employed stenog- rapher or typewriter. Besides his law practice, which he attends to every day, he is connected in an official capacity with many corporations This spring he resigned one office which he had held continuously for fifty years.
