A Prosperous CoIored School.

Q. IL. Jones, the principal of the
coiored graded school here, has been an
pointed financial agent for the Clinton
Normal and Industrial destitute located
at Rock Hill, s. G.
This school is under the auspices of
the Zion A. M. E. Church and needs
5000 to be able to meet the require.
ments of its rapidly increasing enroll
ment, having passed the five hundred
mark In the last school term. Unlike
most solicitors for school funds, Jones
proposes 70 canvass among the generous
heal.eG he people OF the South, as they
have always responded liberally to the
needs and necessities Of colored churches
a-d schools.
We wish him success in this field and
believe Union, his home, will give him
as creditable contribution as anv town
of its size in the State.

Friday, 1t has been discovered by
painstaking and laborious statisti-
clan, is not the unluckiest but actual
ly the luckiest day of the week.
Taking all the great calamities
which befall humanity, the painstak-
ing gatherer of facts has discovered
that the general average gives the title
of ''luskiest day" to Friday, and that
of the unluckiest day to Monday.
The moral is plain. Beware of Mon
day.
In one line alone it has been found
In railroad accidents Friday heads the
list. So it is wise, if you be supersti-
tious, to avoid beginning a journey on
Friday.
The thirteen superstition" was
knocked in the head long ago, and it
was to be supposed that an iconoclas-
tic age would take punch" at the
Friday dread before long.
1t has not been necessary for per.
son to admit being superstitious to
acknowledge preference for begin
ming certain things on any other day
than Friday. This feeling is Unborn
in nearly all nationalities except the
Scandinavian.
First take the record of assassina-
tons. In these Sunday is pre-emin-
emily the conspicuous day. Wednes-
day comes next, counting attempts
which did not succeed as well as at
tempts which did. Saturday is third,
and Monday fourth. Tuesday, Thurs.
day and Friday are equal.
There is possibility that the person
having in mind such an attack chooses
any other day than Friday, in the be-
lief that the day will prove unlucky
for him. An examination of the rec
ords of such attacks in the last $50
years has disclosed the fact that the

EMMY. 'I'll only tell grandfather"
But he's the most important one,
cried Margie. "You must keep it a
great secret"
Marthy agreed, and later two flushed
faces bent over sheet Of paper, upon
which Marthy was writing at Margie's
dictation.
Nothing wonderful happened for a
long time, though the two little girls
had many talks over their secret"
1t was necessary to have some help,
and sister Mabel was asked for adj
vice.
All the spring Margie and Marthy
acted very mysteriously, but not a
word of explanation would they make
On Decoration Day Tod and Tucker
Marthy and Emmy brushed grand
fathers shabby suit, helped him to his
wheel chair, and started off in the
morning to the cemetery. Grandfather
had never missed this yearly trip to
honor the memory of his dead com
rades, many of whom had gone to the
Beautiful Country. He would salute
beside the graves of the officers In
whose regiment he served with tears
in his brave old eyes; and then ne
would tell of their hardihood and
yalor. This day Margie Joined the
ranks. and other boys and girls, too,
till there was quite procession. Each
grave was visited, and each name
was read to grandfather, who remem'
bered every man perfectly.
As erandfather's chair was turned
towards home a shout in the WOODS
attracted the attention OF the little
cayalcade, and there was Margles
sister Mabel running toward them and
waving something high in the air.
Margie and Marthy looked at each
other and gasped. :,
"A letter for the captain" called
sister Mabel, holding out long en-
velope with an official seal.
Grandfather was too surprised Ior
words. and his eyes were too dim tc
see.
LET Margie open it," whispered
Marthy in his ear, ut was her idea."
So grandfather asked Margie to
omen it; and open it she did right
there in the cemetery, among the
graves of many of the brave soldiers.
And what was it? A document that
told of a pension for grandfather!
And that meant enough money to keep
him clothed and comfortable all the
rest of his life.
"And Margie got it, cried Marthy,
anxious to give her friend all the
glory. "She wrote to the President
herself, and he answered her letter,
grandfather; isn't it beautiful?"
Grandfather's eyes were dim with
tears of Joy. Slowly he rose from the
wheel chair, and, standing erect on his
crippled feet, he saluted little Margie
in the stately way that he saluted his
generals grave.
What cheering there was, and what
a happy cavalcade danced home, each
in turn pushing grandfather's chair.
Margie never forgot that day, and
her most valued possession is beauti,
full letter from the President himself,
thanking her for her interest in one
of the country's heroes.

would-be murderer looks on Friday

That might be construed to prove
either side of the argument, but it is

Friday his luckiest day if exemption

est.
To secure this conclusion the sta.
tistician examined the records of the
disasters to British vessels from 1895
to the present day. He found that "a
per cent happened on Thursday, 16
per cent on Saturday and Sunday, IA
per cent on Monday and Wednesday,
IL per cent on Tuesday, and only
per cent on Friday.
BY examining the record of railroad
disasters from 1898 up to date it was
discovered that the nervous person

for the fears. 1t was in this item
alone that the day kept up its reputa.
