Our Reputation Abroad.

Bamberg is not accounted the center OF
the tobacco industry of the State and IS
not even in what is called the tobacco
belt, and yet the only successful tobacco
factory in the State is there. Fora num-
Der of years factory in that county has
made good smoking and plug tobacco
from weed grown right at the doors.
That tobacco has been sold in Florence.
1t was good tobacco. Now the business
men of Bamberg propose to put in the
money to enlarge the plant and its opera
tions. That story is mighty good for
Bamberg, but it looks very much like a
reflection on the towns Of the Pee Dee
section, where so much tobacco is made
and every pound of it shipped off, while
fine building put up for a tobacco fac
tory and we'll equipped is standing idle in
Florence which might be big tobacco
manufacturing town. Don't listen to
people who say We can't manufacture 1t,
they used to say we could not grow it

A Well Trained Dog.

Gentlemen in the beautiful land Of the
South delight greatly in hunting and
have many finely trained dogs. On a
brisk winter morning gentleman who
was 4 great hunter and kept many dogs,
went out for hunt. He took fine
setter named Dan splendidly trained and
an excellent retriever. After enjoying
himself and killing many birds, he sat
down in cool, refreshing place to rest
and smoke. He filled his pipe and began
to feel for his matches. We'll, well, -
said he; II have left them at home :;
Dan, can't you 60 bring me box of
matches?" Off trotted Dan; he went
home and hunted everywhere for the
matches and could not find them. Look
ing around he spied the fireplace; seeing
a log of wood had burned into two parts,
he grabbed one in his mouth, and off
trotted Dan to his master. Being in a
hurry he let the chunk fall, and set astraw
field on fire. The gentleman, thinking
his dog too long coming, went to look
for him; he found he had put the chunk
of fire in the path; had broken fine
bush and was fighting fire to beat the
band

His Honor in Hard Luck,

About two weeks ago Judge Lewis,
while taking bath, backed up and made
rear-end connection with a red-hot
stove, and ever since that time he has
been compelled to stand up and eat his
meals from shelf. The accident has
been a source of much pain to the Judge
ever since it happened and was the cause
of his riding over to Tishomingo last
Sunday to see the ball game seated on q
pillow. While the game was in pro-
gress, besides nearly getting into fight
with Tishomingo buffer, swift curve
thrown by the pitcher caught him just
two inches below and little to the right
of the lower front vest button. "The
blow almost killed father" and caused q
discoloration and badly bruised spot
about the size, shape and color of stove
lid. The editor accompanied the Judge
on the trip and on the way back to
Madill the horse choked down in the
middle of the Washita River and came

ABBeYS GLASS OF MILK.
An Amusing story Of the Famou
Artists BoyhOod Days.

An Amusing Story Of the Famous
Artists Boyhood Days.
In the days when Edwin A. Abbey.
the distinguished illustrator and paint
er, was a small boy he had the habit
Of critically scrutinizing every dish that
was set before him at the table, much
to the embarrassment Of his family.
His frequent dismissals from the table
were but ineffective reprsofs. and
something had to be done to work a
cure.
Eddie" said his mother one day, Il
heard thee speak about going to Cousin
Martha's for dinner next Sunday, and
1 am afraid we will have to make thee
stay at home until thee learns polite
ness at the table. Thy picking at food
would mortify me-"
This threatened deprivation reduced
the boy to tears, and after he had SOL
EMMY promised not to look at every
thing according to his habit he was
told that he might go.
The day came, and large and mer-
ry family gathered to do justice to a
tempting meal. Each Of the little folks
had glass Of delicious rich country
milk at his place.
Noticing that Edwin was surrept'
tiously glanctng at his glass, Mrs. Ab-
bey observed, with well understood
meaning, Edwin, why art thou not
drinking thy milkT'
With q determined sir the boy hasti-
ly picked up the glass and, shutting his
eyes as tight as possible, gulped Its
contents down.
This sudden procedure attracted the
attention Of oil the guests, and, fearing
at least a severe scolding, the boy ex'
claimed, Il did 1t, mother; IL swal'
lowed it."
"Swallowed whatY hurriediy asked
Mrs. Abbey, now more alarmed than
amused.
"Those two flies that got In my milk
But swallowed them, mother; swai'
lowed themv'-Isadore Hedges In La

What @ True Scholar IL.


The scholar in the true sense 10 the
man or woman for whom the schools
have done their best. The scholar
knows some one thing thoroughly and
can carry his knowledge into action.
With this he must have such knowl-
edge of related subjects and Of human
life as will throw this special knowl-
edge into proper perspective. Anything
less than this is not scholarship. The
man with knowledge and no perspec'
i've Is crank, a disturber Of the peace.
who needs a guardian to make his
knowledge useful. The man who has
common sense, but no special training,
may be q fair citizen, but he can exert
little influence that makes for prog
ress. There may be wisdom not OF
books, but it can be won by no easy
process. To gain wisdom or skill, In
school or out, is education. TO do any
thing we'll requires special knowledge,
and this Is scholarship, whether at
tained in the university or In the school
Of life. It is the man who knows that
has the right to speak.-Prestdent Da'
yid Starr Jordan In Atlantic.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Laying hens must have meat or milk.
Always feed some whole grain at
night.
Early hatched chickens usually make
the best breeding fowls.
Feeding a little at time and often
is better than overfeeding at any time.
A liberal use Of ground bone will cor
rect the tendency to laying soft sheiled
eggs.
Keeping fowls on hard floors will fire.
auently cause swollen feet and legs.
They must have some loose ground to
scratch over.
Turkeys must have good range to
be profitable. They are insect eaters by
nature and need a good range In order
to thrive we'll and grow economically.
After the ducks and geese are
through laying the feathers should be
picked regularly. The time to pick
them is when the feathers are ripe and
before the fowls begin to lose them.

"Speaking of droughts reminds me of
story" said ABE" Gruber to several up
State politicians gathered in the amen
corner of the Fifth Avenue hotel the
other night. Il was up in Herkimer
county during one of the severest
droughts the country had ever seen, and
l attended prayer meeting held for the
purpose of petitioning Divine Providence
for rain.
Among those that took part was an
old farmer who, though one of the most
devout and consistent churchmen in the
community, would occasionally, when
aroused, make use of the language he
had been familiar with in his earlier days
when he worked on canal-boat. None
of those present had suffered more from
the drought than he, and when he was
called on to pray he made one of the
most sincere and impassioned petitions |
have ever heard.
''At the close of his supplication, how
ever, he surprised those present by
saying: we know, o Lord, that Thou
will send US rain, just as Thou hast done
many times before; but this time, o
Lord, unless We get it ID quick, it
won't do US any goOd!"
