ton manufactured goods and the
reJuvenation of the city of
Georgetown. He spoke of the
tremendous strides made by the
State in the building of cotton
mills and the superb advantages
enjoyed by this State for the fos-
terlng of this industry. 1t is an
exploded idea that the people
must not enjoy the money in the
United States treasury. 1t is
ours and if we don't get our share
1T will go to other sections. He
promised to get every dollar pos

State. There is neither quarrel

EVANS GIVES HIS REASONS.
EX-Gov. Evans again told why
he is in this race and although
stung all over the State he never
jumped over the fence and had
never been drawing $4,000
salary. He had jumped on Latl-
mer for basing his claim to this
office simply on the fact that he is
a farmer. He had fooled these
people long enough and they will
be fooled no longer. sMcLaurin
stood upon this stand and swore
he was Democrat and swooned

good as a new game, and which af-
fOrded a whole evenings amusement
for twenty persons, ranging in age from
Is to 30. First, she prepared thirty
long, narrow strips Of cardboard and
numbered them in pairs from | to Is.
This was because she had invited thir-
ty persons. As but twenty came to
the party, only strips numbered l to
10 were used. After the guests were
seated, they were asked to draw
straws." They then paired according
to the number on the strips they had
drawn. and the hostess gave the COM
pany ten minutes In which to choose
games to be played during the eve
ming, each couple being directed to
their strips of cardboard. They were
cautioned against choosing games
which II might take too long to play.
After all we're %ready--the hostess had
to stretch the time limit a little
m strip was collected from each
couple. the two young persons being
directed to keep the other for future
reference. The games were now
played in the order OF the numbers
on their respective slips, ten minutes
being allowed for each one. II was i'm
possible not to have a variety and the
pastlmes ranged from grave to gay.

SHEPHERD BOY's AMBITION,

A poor Scotch shepherd boy once
conceived the Idea of learning Latin
and Greek while at work: SO he pro-
cured a few old books. and applied
himself to them in his leisure hours
on the hills. He progressed SO rap
idly that many of the old and supersti-
tious people thought he must be- as
sisted by the evil spirit" One day he
trudged into Edinburgh barefoot,
walked into a bookstore and asked for
a Greek Testament. "What are you
going to do with it," asked the book
seller. Read it, was the prompt re-
ply. Read it," exclaimed the skep-
teal dealer, 'ye may take 1t for moth
ing IL ye will read it," The boy read
a few verses, translating them as he
proceeded, and was permitted to carry
the book home in triumph. His name
was John Brown. and he became o
distinguished clergyman.
