Had to Take Baby.

Spsrtanburg, June 14.-When the
train came down from Asheville this
morning, among the passengers who
alighted was on old negro, named Jim
Watson, who carried in his arms o
seven. months, old negro boy. The
man began inquiring about for q
mother for his charge, whom he said
WAS to meet the train and relieve him
Of carrying the baby. He did not or
could not recall the name Of the moth
er, and told the police and others o
garbled kind of statement something
to the effect that negro woman in
Charlotte, learning that he was coming
to this town, made arrangements with
him to bring the child here, the child
she said was that of her daughter who
lived here, and who would be at the
depot to meet the baby. He said he
was on his way to Laurens, and was
very anxious to dispose Of the human
burden. The police would not allow
this and he was made to carry the in
FAINT along with him to Laurens.

Ants Deadly Attack.

Should the Guatemalau ant ever be
introduced into the cotton belt of this
country the situation would be sufii
ciently remarkable. Ooe can imagine,
says the Washington Post, the worthy
farmer contracting for an annual SUP.
ply * ants, jusc as he makes purcha,
ses OF h!s other supplies, aud cartiug
out couple Of bushels of willing
workers to his cotton fields to act as
policemen and executioners.
Perhaps he would raise ants-just
as he does cattle and chickens, main
tanning an "antery" of the most ap-
proved modern description. Here he
would raise his own supplies for his
fields, guarding them tenderly during
the winter, and turning them out to
graze--on boil weevils-when the
spring. has come again. 1t is even
possible that some Yankee genius will
invent an incubator for ant eggs,
which will dispense with the necessity
OF bringing the queen bee from Qua
temala to this country; the eggs
might be imported and the incubator
would do the rest.
The wisdom Of the ant has passed
into proverb, and the observations
of those who have watched the activ-
tiles OF this useful insect have justi-
fed it. A wise creature especially is
the special variety of ant Mr.. Cook
has discovered. Its foragiug opera
tions are carried on with deliberate
ness and sagacity, and with o full
allowance OF opportunity to every in.
dividual to get his fill.
| When the ants make their sortie'
from the ant hill, in the cool dawn of
the morning, they scatter eagerly
over the surrounding fields, few ants
to each stalk of cotton. They seem
to realize quite we'll that il they cor-
centrate in any ele place there will
not be food enough to go around, and
for this reason they cover wide area.
Lying perdu on the leaves Of the plant,
they await the advent Of the Eoll
weevil, and when that unfortunate
animal makes his appearance pouuce
upon him. There is swift leap
through the air, vicious thrust, a
shake-and then the weevil is picked
up bodily and carried away to the ant
hill. The willing worker deposits his
burden in the family larder and re-
turns to the field to repeat the opera.
tion.
One of the amiable qualities Of the
ant Of Guatemala-and it is reputed
to possess many-is that it does not
injure the cotton plant in any way.
Neither is it especially hostile to man,
having none Of the waspish qualities
of 80 many of its relatives. Thae it
has an effective weapon in its sting it
is able to demonstrate on the boil wee
vii, whenever necessary, but the ant
does not use the sting to inflict suffer
ing upon it's acquaintanoes Of the hu-
man race.

When Slowcure Got Away.

AS Slowcure was walking with his
wife through West Twelfth street g
baseball bounded from the asphalt
pavement and narrowly missed plant
Mrs. Slowcure was carrying home, says
the New York Press.
"The little imps,' she exclaimed an
grily. 'They deserve a good whip
ping"
Nonsense" retorted Slowcure.
II used to do the same thing myself.
Boys must play ball somewhere"
"Throw it up, mister" shouted a
lad half block away.
"Slowcure picked up the ball and
walked to the middle Of the street
with it. He swung his arms and
facetiously. went through the motions
of a league pitcher.
"Come away from there" pleaded
Mrs. Slowcure. "Roll that ball back
without making and idiot Of yourself"
'Let her come, mister" yelled the
boy. :
One more sweep Of the arm and
Slowcure let 60 the ball. There was
crash Of glass. The ball disappeared
inside the front window of boarding
house and the boys disappeared around
the corner.
"That will cost you $751;" shouted
an irate woman, coming to the front
door. 81 was watching you from the
window. AS if it isn't bad enough to
have the boys playing in the streets,
without great, big lummux like ou
encouragingthsm. Your wife ought
to keep you at home"

HAS BUSY SESSION.
Judge Cook Active in County Court al
 Annston.

Annlston, December 11.-(Special.)- Judge Crook did good business in coun- ty court yesterday having quite num- Der of cases before him. ! star per- former for the afternoon was Ed Boston, a negro, who rather than have the wit nesses tell what they knew of his mis- deeds, waived examination and was bound over to the city court grand jury in the sum of $2OO, which he made and was re- leased.
 Boston operatcd quite extensively in West Anniston before the sheriff brought an end to his operations He was en- gagged as a porter by a merchant and he delivered quite a lot of goods. The first or the month the merchant --ent around to collect and was informed that the customers had paid for the goods on their delivery. Quite a number of charges will probably be brought against the negro before he finishes his experience of col ieoting and failing to report his collec- tons.
 Albert alias Jebbo Davis. also colored, was fined $42 on a charge of beating his wife. Jeff Lynch and Jason Couch, charged with assaulting Mrs. May Weav- CT, an old blind woman in beat S. had their cases continued on account of ab- sent witnesses
 The case of A. J. Haley, charged with selling mortgaged property, was also con- tinued.

Sixty-slx children Where? At the Temple kindergarten. The occasion? The celebration of the Feast of Lights" Do you remember the story?
 "A long, long time ago there was a king in a far away country that ruled the people He was not a good man. and in many ways he made the people very un- happy. Among the people was a very good and wise old man with long silvery hair and beard. He said to Some of the people, Let us go to the hills and stay there until better times. The people went with him. He and his sons spent their lives in making them happy. By and by, the times were better at their old home and they returned. Their hearts were full of thankfulness to God for all Ills goodness, and they celebrated the day by having a feast Little children, we are celebrating the Feast of Lights, and on this day, as they did that day may years ago, we will light the candies, and in this and other ways show our thank fitness to God for His goodness to us"
 It was this story that was told Friday morning by the kindergartener in a gen. tle quiet manner, and yet with such earn estness that every little child listened eagerly Quite as earnestly the audience of grown-ups listened and sympathized with teachers and pupils in the central thought of the day. And this thought was that of showing our thankfulness to God in some act of kindness. in some loving deed to some of His children.
 As one entered the Kindergarten one could see that it was festive day. While every day the Kindergarten is made as attractive as possible with decorations of gayly eolored paper, made by the ehil- dren into chains and other devices pleas ing to childhood today, crossing the other lines of decoration were lines of autumn leaves and gay butterflies, which indicated something special. Across the bare line of the chandeliers, here and wonder, were tin horns that one knew would soon sound the note of boyish glee. What could 1t all mean? Those not familiar with the doings of the kindergarten were to find out be- fore the goodbyes were said and the lit- tie ones trotted home.
 Many songs were sung. each telling a story of some occupation or recreation, or hnting at some of natures secrets. Single skips, double skips, skipping in line. and the pony skip" gave ample vent to the energy bound up in those wee bodies. And now the mystery of so many dolls. so many tin horns was to be solved.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

one fbev were taken down and piled into the lap of a teacher sitting amidst the children. With feeling deeper than l'have words to express, a little one said In pleading tones, Preacher, please give me one While the doll was not given at once to the little one, there was reas- suranee in the teachers nod and smlle' Many aged settled down accepting the discipline with heroism that but lew grown people can appreciate. l wonoereU at the self-eontrol I was almost impa- tient that the child was kept waiting for so great a joy. Yet I knew in my hear' that this waiting was just the treatment the little one needed. The eagerness never left the childs eye, the wistfrlness' the expectancy expressed in every feature will finger long in the hearts of many who were privileged to look on. But, oh, who can ever forget the look of rapturous joy that broke over the little face when doll was handed to her! Who could doubt that the mother feeling was in that little heart, as with real motherly tenderness she pressed the precious treasure to her heart
 It was well worth the effort of one and all in preparing for this occasion to have given such joy to even one of His little ones.i And did I not say there were sixty-six? All of these in modified de- grees felt a peculiar happiness as gifts were presented them.
 But was this receiving of gifts the ob- ject of the day? Nay, nay, it was mere incident and the last feature of the morning hour. The central thought was in thinking of others, of making others happy. The beautiful autumn leaves, once gathered, proved to be needle books for mothers, grandmother, or Aunt Mary, or books of shaving paper for father or grandfather.
