WILLING TO PAY FOR THE
 PRIVILEGE.

It certainly Was 6 poor show. Even the hornyhanded ushers could not ap- plaud loud enough to raise any sem blance of enthusiasm on the part of the audience. Geld distrust was writ ten on the faces of the crowd and by the third act nearly every one in the house was hissing whenever the ushers applauded. One man who occupied d front row seat was observed to be viewing the performance with a cer. tain gentle tolerance. One of his neighbors saw this and leaned over and said:
 Excuse me, sir. for addressing you, but l have noticed you are the only person in the house who has not hisseI the show. Is the author friend of yours?"
 No replied the man. II came in on a pass and do not feel al liberty to hiss. I'll sit through this act, and then if the performance does not improve I'm going out and buy ticket, so l can hiss just as much as I like"

THE TELEGRAM CAME.

This is a simple little game, but 1t Is instructive, for it gives boys and giIls practice in quick composition.
 Give to each player q sheet of paper and pencil, and then ask them in turn to name letter of the alphabet, undl ten letters have been so named. If there are not ten players. some of them may be asked to name two letters.
 Each player writes these letters, one after another, at the top of his sheet of paper, and is then asked to write . telegram of ten words. the words be- ginning with the ten letters in their regular order.
 Suppose, for example. that the letters named are J, T, O, R, E, H. A, S, D, l. Here is d telegram that might be form ed them: Johnny tumbled off roof; broke his arm; send doctor immediate ly."
 When the telegrams have all been written-which should be done within certain time, say within ten minutes the leader reads them aloud and awards a prize.

NOVEL WAY TO STUDY BEES.

The city dweller, longing for the time when he can exchange heated pavements for the yielding turf of the meadow, carves dainty section" of comb-honey at his tea table, and thinks: If we ever get out on a farm one of the first things I buy will bee a hive of bees" Little does he realize that in all probability he could keep a hive of bees right where he now lives.
 The observation hive, with it's glass sides. makes it possible for him to lay the foundations of commercial bee keeping by studying the life history and habits of the bee. Such a hive can be placed in an ordinary bedroom win dew with absolutely no danger to the occupants of the house. Impossible as it may seem, commercial bee culture is actually practiced in some of the largest cities of the country. Several extensive apiaries have been main tained upon the tops of buildings in New York and elsewhere.-Country Life in America.

ANOTHER RECLAMATION SCHEME

Yesterday we noted the undertaking to reclaim the Florida Everglades. An- other enterprise of the same kind, though of somewhat less magnitude, is now in the hands of the department of Agriculture. This project is to reclaim the Yazoo delta, including the Missis- sippi bottom lands between Vicksburg and Memphis. The soil there is per haps as rich as any cotton land in the world, but there is an area of nearly 200,00O acres which has remained un- cultivated and must be drained to make it available. The soil is alluvial. like that of the Nile valley, the land being subject to the annual overflow by the Mississippi. The water recedes too late in the season for cotton planting, but 1t is proposed to provide a sysam of eGualizing canals, supplemented, if ne- cessary. by pumping plants, and per haps by levees. The experts of the de- partment, who have been making a thorough study of the conditions and possibilities of the district, believe that the value of the reclaimed lands will amply pay for expenditure by the state or nation. It is. of course, too large an enterprise for private owners to under take.-BcstOn Advertiser.

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
 Promises Are Kept.

Every time you read about Deans Kidney Pills you are told they cure cv- cry form of kidney ill. from backache to urinary disorders. How are our promises kept? Ask any citizen who Has tried the treatment. Ask the man who makes the following statement:
 Fl. T, Diehl miner, of 15S E. Alameda St. Tucson. Ariz.. says: My experi- once with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed for them. In the month of February. 1902. I first felt d slight pain across the small of my back directly over the kid neys. probably caused by cold set ting in those organs. It was not seri- ous. but it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble. and read ing one night in Tucson paper about Doans Kidney Pills my daughter went to Martins drug store for box. I took them as directed and when had com pleted the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. l was so surprised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doans Kidney Pills that 1 recom- mended them to a number of my ac- quaintances and even went so far as to mail a box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco who had kidney trouble"
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into the Brisiey Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers report.

DETERIORATION IN CITIES.

A great many men who have come to cities, after living in the country for years, wonder at their general deterior- ation, physically and mentally. They are not conscious of any lack of effort to live straight, clean lives, but the un- natural conditions of cities have been slowly undermining their character, physical stamina and mental fiber, and there is a general letting down of standards. Some incident-perhaps a fresh, unspoiled friend from the old home-makes them realize that some thing has gone out of their lives, some thing practically helpful and inspiring. Innocence has been traded for knowing worldliness, frankness for deceptive policy, kindliness for cringing subser- vience, and charity and helpfulness for brutal ndifference.-Success

POTENCY OF LOOSE CHANGE.
It Is the Nickels and Dimes That Build
 Great Fortunes.

When the crusaders against policy made the statement that the gross daily receipts from the game in Chi cago aggregated $50, 1000, the commun- ity was astounded. Thirty thousand dollars in pennies and dimes gambled away each day-impossible. But such is the truth.
 Most people never stop to think of the power of loose change. They hold it so lightly that they fling it about recklessly-and that is the chief reason for its power.
 The pennies and dimes give chief support to the churches of the nation. The magnificent contribution of the millionaire dwindles to the proportions of the widows mite when compared with the great total. It is the loose change, carried up to the altar rail. which meets the mortgage, pays the pastors salary and sends the mission aries to the four corners of the earth.
 Go through the books of the big char itable institutions and you will find how dependent they are on the small givers-on loose change. From Sun day school classes, sewing circles, church collections. church entertain ments and the penny bokes which stand in drug and grocery stores. comes the greater portion of the rev. enue. The millionaire philanthropists of the nation would be appalled, at their responsibility if the support of the small giVers was withdrawn from the charitable institutions.
 Dividends for s55, ,OOO, 900 of National Biscuit stock are paid in dimes and nickels.
 Close to s14,OOOOOO year in nickels flows into the coffers of thq local trac- tion companies and creates business to attract a Morgan or a Vanderbilt.
 In the end it is the housewiie's nickel which pays for the harvests of the mill lions of acres of golden grain.
 It is the loose change which keeps the wheels going and the world nov ing. But how loosely do We throw it about!-Chicago Journal.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Flight of the Princess Iris" Thurs
day Night.

Mildred and Rouclere will appear
in the opera house here on Thurs
night in "The Flight of the Prin-
cess Iris" The performance prom
ises to be highly entertaining, as
will be seen from the following
notice in the Raleigh News and Oh.
server Of an entertainment given
by this troop in Raleigh during the
first part Of this month:
Mildred and Rouclere surely can
entertain. They do not belle their
Characterization as "superb enter
tainers." But they deserved a
bigger house than they had last
night at the Monumental. For
they give good, clean, up to-date
show that lacks not in excellence
and merit. They should have a
larger crowd tonight.
Rouclere, as the adept Manipula-
tor, introduced some original nov
elites that were much appreciated
by the audience last night. The
Colonial Trio, Sherwood, Fox and
Warda, in pantomine, furnished a
glimpse into other days. The cos
tunes were very rich. Mildred
gave really wonderful exhibition
of mind reading and hypnotic sug
gestion. Cain and Hunters com
edy musical act was heartily EN-
| joyed. Belmont's electrical fire
dance was feature and made de-
cided hit The effects were beau-
tiful, when the flags Of the different
nations were reflected upon the
dancer, while the orchestra played
the corresponding national airs.
The illustrated songs were mag.
nificently sung and the pictures
were extraordinarily handsome. The
songs were arplauded vigorously for
they were new and pretty.
The feats of the Japanese troupe
were perilous and daring, the Prince
Youturkey rope slide being intro.
duced. The mysterious prison was
a splendid piece of work.
It's strong company, a splendid
company. A rousing big house
should see the wonderful Mildred
and Rouclere tonight.

A PASTOR POUNDED.
Good Things Upon Good Things Heaped
Upon the Rev. j. L. Williamson
BY His Congregation.

The old adage, "give them al
inch and they will take an ell" was
practically illustrated at the manse
last Friday evening. The childrer's s
society asked for the use of til.
manse at that time to have "a
pound party Of course it was
cheerfully granted, as the children
Of the congregation are always vel.
come at the manse, whether they
come singly or together.
But 10! not only the children, but
also older persons; even the fathers
and mothers came. Elders, deacons,
members, and baptized children
came together and took complete
possession of the manse. After
awhile they asked NE to go into the
dining room, where instead Of a
table spread with dainties for the
children, as I expected to see, they
showed me a table on which and
around which we1e piled package
upon package, containing not one,
but many pounds each. The ar
tiCleS were too numerous for me to
mention here, and the quantity was
as great as the variety.
And the best of it all is that it
was premeditated, kindness afore-
thought, for they even took the pre-
cjution to bring the doctor along
with them. But as it turned out, I
was only scared, and not seriously
hurt by this heavy pounding
though l may be later OH.
All these things were most thank.
fully received as expressions of ap-
probation and attachment to their
pastor, who has served them for
seven Yeas, and I ought to have
said SO at the time, but | felt too
much like the little boy that the
calf ran over TO say anything then;
heuCe this card in which | wish to

LOCAL FREIGHT NO. 81.
A Train On The C. N. & L Road Runs Over
And Seriously Injuries A Negro And
Knocks A Car Off The TrcStle.

Local Freight No. 81 on the Co.
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens
road spent a fateful hour in New.
berry on Friday. The train arrived
in Newberry going towards Colum-
bia about noon and before it left had
run over a little negro, cutting off
both his legs and knocking hole
in his head, and had knocked one
Of it's flat cars of the high tres
tie just above the depot, the car
taking plunge OF SO Sect to the
ground below.
The accident by which the little
negro, Mike Haigler, sustained his
very serious injuries occurred
between the Mollohon mill and
the oil mill. 1t seems that a
freight on the Southern had stopped
at this point and Haigler was run-
ing across the G. N. & L. track,
which is parallel to the Southern,
to steal a ride on the Southern
freight, when No. 81 on the c. N. &
l.. which had been to the Mollohon
mill and was backing in, caught
him. Both his legs were ut off be-
low the knee and hole was knock
ed III his head above the eye. Drs.
]. *. Glider and p. G.. EllcsOr were
summoned and rendered medical
assistance, amputating the legs and
making the little negro as comfort
able as possible 1t is though, that
he will live. Tie is about ten
years old. lie had been working for
Copeland Brothers. His story of
the affair is that he was trying 70
get out Of the way of the Southern
freight.
No, 81 went On back to the depot
Most of the cars had been left stand.
ing above AID Oh the trestle. 1t
seems that Engineer Land had turn
ed his engine over to the negro FIRE
man and the fireman with one flat
car attached to the engine backed
UP to the cars on the trestle to
couple. He was going too fast and
the impact lifted tie fiat off the
trcStlc. Only the front trucks were
left standing coupled to the engine
and the passenger train going to
wards Greenville was delayed few
minutes until t: eSe were taken of
the track and the cars sidctracked.
The trestlc was only slightly dam
aged, being splintcred in a few
places.
In connection with the accident
to the little negro it may be remark
ed that it has been the habit OF
negroes to swing trains stopping at
the junction near the oil mill. This
accident will no doubt be a lesson
TO them.
