first to the family Bible, unearthing
it from its enshrouding dust with the

Balfour's Foundations of Relief" He
then followed with Baxters Saints

a few pages Of webster's Dictionary

wich Of Tennyson's poems. Brad

fuls Of Gibbons Decline and Fall

then a taste for higher literature, he
turned his attention to book of wall

POLLY
BY Addison Allen. ,

Some years ago, one whom l had not
previously known to be my enemy sent
me a parrot. When first seen by me
the bird inhabited cage about foot
square, and on the under side Of its
roof was walking around and cursing
everything in sight in three languages.
On one side of the cage was a food
cup containing two or three crackers
and several human fingers, ears, and
scalps. On the other side was drink
ing-cup filled with clotted gore. gath
cred from the birds actions and re-
marks that he was in an unchristian
frame of mind. /, therefore, instruct
ed my wife to remove him to larger
cage which we had prepared, and with
drew, as the sight of bloodshep is al
ways distasteful to me. 1t was after
wards told me that the bird in proc
ess of removal not only used language
unbecoming gentleman, but tore
three strips of leather from my wife's
nose, which he then wove into a mat
for his cage.
In the course of time, we became
better acquainted with Polly, SO that
we learned to love him; and my fam
lily and spent many happy hours in
observing him in his gymnastic exer-
cises, listening to his improving re-
marks, ct cetera. His disposition was
pre-en.inently social, and he held pas
sion for shaking hands. The amiablc
visitor would insert a finger in the
cage, and Polly would seize it in his
beak, and shake hands cordially until
the guest sometimes lost all pleasure
In the ceremony. Some visitors did
not attempt to conceal their impa-
thence TO go away while shaking hands
with Polly.
Although Polly never openly pro-
fessed religion, he was of a devotional
nature, and his conversation was larg-
civ in reference to the future state Of
sinful souls. His observations were
weighty and forcefully delivered, as
were also the missiles discharged at
him to intercept their flow. Patent
leather shoes were a favorite projec-
tile with me at first, but Polly soon
learned to catch them in his beak and
make hash of them without interrupts
ing his flow Of eloquence; and I fell
back on other articles of bric-a-brac.
Folly was not lacking in the finer
feelings of his sex; he admired fem
mime beauty as represented by Biddy
Higgins, our cook, and frequently pur-
sued her across the verdant sward
back of the kitchen, in the andeavor
to secure some anatomical specimen
whose rare beauty and graceful out
line he might admire at his leisure.
His honorable motives were always
misconstrued by the coy maiden, Y no
incontinently fled at each approach
and the ensuing display of agility by
both parties beggars descriptions. 1T
was my practice, just before Biddys
hanging out clothes in the yard on
Mondays, to invite a select party Of
friends, and after seeing them safely
up tree, cautiously to liberate Polly
with a long pole. The entertainment
that Invariably followed was of the
highest order.
We knew from the first that Polly
possessed thoughtful mind, and we
thought it highly probable that he
had received college education, but
we had no idea what an inordinate
fondness for books he had until one
night when he escaped from his cage

plspensary Money tor oconee.

The Comptroller General has issued
warrants aggregating $50, 600 which will
be paid to the several counties in the
profits. This money was set aside by
the board of directors some time ago
and represents the profits of the State
dispensary for the first half of the year.
OF the $4,000 Oconee will receive $2,-
1927 as her share In. the profits from
the sale of liquor. This amount Will be
turned into the school fund as soon as
received, and later will be distributed
between the various school districts.
The 81, 1921 for Oconee includes $780, 90
from the deficiency fund" set aside by
the Comptroller General. There is re-
quirement that each school district in
the State must receive at least $75 per
annum from the constitutional three mill
tax, and If in any county the funds be
too meagre to run each school district up
to that amount, then the deficiency must
be made up out of the dispepsary funds
After such deficiencies have been met
the remainder of the dispensary fund is
divided among the counties on pro rata
of school enrolment in those counties.
There was no deficiency in Anderson,
Beaufort, Cherokee, Chester, Darlington,
Dorchester, Georgetown, Newberry,
Richland, Spartanburg, Sumter and
Union counties. Horny received over
1900 TO make up the deficiency in that
county where there are many school dis
tricts. Oconee's share in the dispensary
profits for the first half Of this year, less
the deficiency fund amounted to 81 ,243. IL.
