Synod to Consider University.

Sy1oQ 10 ConSlucr university
The synod of South Carolina meets
in Clinton on the 18th of October. At
this session a number Of very import
ant questions will be presented for dis.
cussion. The plan for the Atlanta Uni
versity looms higher than all of the
others, and there are many members
Of the synod who hope that q way will
be folr.l whereby the big insti=nt:c:
may b. established.
The main difficulty in the way is the
late action of >Clarksville University,
and had not that difficulty sprung up it
is quite possible that the synod Of
South Carolina would have readily
consented to. the removal OF the Co
lumbia Seminary to Atlanta AMI its
consolidation with Clarksville.

similar amount.
Mrs Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee

have registered objection to their

son, John T. Davis. is said to have
done likewise.

WHY THE RAINBOW is CHASED
Tales Of Woe Employed to Tap Ma

These are days when the democratic
leaders in safely republican states

widespread disaffection among the re-
publicans and an excellent opportunity
to carry the state for Parker. Like
wise these are days when republican
leaders in democratic states paint an
equally seductive picture for the eye
OF Chairman Cortelyou.
An unsuspecting public vaguely Won
ders If all the republican states are
really going democratic and all demo-
cratic states republican, Or If the state
leaders have lost their heads.
No heads have been lost. The state
leaders are safe and sane as Il cash
register. They know their business,
mum sum of money from a reluctant
campaign committee.
The republican leader in the demo-
crat state and the democratic leader
in the republican state are always am

chance of their being dethroned by am
bilious rivals, There is not much fat
for a minority party in any state, and
SO an appeal is made to the national
committee to lubricate the wheels.
National committees do not like to
throw away money. 1t Is too hard to
get. So the state leader begins his
appeal by describing the detected and
Respondent condition of the majority
party of his state. The more he needs
the money the more aggressive the mi
nority party Is represented as being
and the more tottering and impotent is
the majority party.
Perhaps this simple explanation will
assist the wayfaring man i'm arriving al
a juster estimate of some of the reports
made to the national chairmen by WIS.,
iting statesmen. There is Il very old
nursery story about IL pot of gold al

politician knows that the pot of gold
is really there if convincing rainbow

VIOLIN FROM LOBSTER'S CLAW.

The only violin in the world made
from the claw of a giant lobster has
just been completed by John III. Dad
nun, of 400 Berkley street, Camden,
Nj. This unique instrument, strange
to say, can be made to produce as
sweet musical tones as any high-cla
violin. It's owner gives the following
as the story of its life:
The lobster from which the claw
was taken was caught off Gloucester,
Mass in March, 1862. In time 1t came
to Concord, N H., where Mr.. Dadmun
saw 1t. At that time the lobster weigh
ed 171a pounds. A single claw weigh
ed 81 pounds. The claw that Mr..
Dadmun preserved, after the lobster
had gone the way of such things, was
1914 inches long, inches broad and
81 inches thick.
Preserved among other cnrosities of
the Dadmun household, the giant claw
remained claw for many years. One
day 1t occurred to its owner that it
was shaped something like violin,
and he tried the experiment of fash
ioning it to look more like that popular
instrument After much patient effort
Mr.. Dadmun managed to transform
the claw into a violin that could be

Loosely tied over an expanse OF white

stock, you might say, of the period OF

Judge Gary is now completing his
fortieth year of continuous service in
the Superior Court bench of Cook
County, ILL.,, record unequaled by any
elective jurist in the United States.
He is a product of the State of New
York, but of Puritan extraction. He
was born at Potsdam, st. Lawrence
County, In 1921. His parents were Ell
Bush Gary and Orilla Easton Gary.
To-day he is not only older in point of
years and judicial service than any
other judge in Illinois. but he Is also
perhaps the wittiest, most satircal and
in some respects the most picturesque
figure who has ever occupied a seat on
the bench in the Middle West. Though
man of few words, brNsque in man
ner, keen In wit and often cutting in
sarcasm, seeking neither publicity nor
applause Judge Garys popularity has
increased as he has advanced in years.
Snow haired and bowed with his four
score years, he is still alert physically
and mentally. He pays close attention
to witnesses, clipping short their YER
bosity, reproving their indiscretions
and punctuating the questions of coun-
sci with wit and apt inquiries of his
own. He looks like picture of
Adolphe Theirs.
For a long time after he presided in
the trial of the anarchists his house
was guarded by the police, but this
was not done at his request. Detect
ives also kept him under their eyes in
his walks about the city. But these
precautions are taken no longer.
Though he was often threatened and
warned during the excitement follow
ing the Haymarket riots, he never
showed fear Anarchists Parsons, Spies
and their six companions were con-
victed of the murder of Police Officer
Matthias Dean in May. 1886. Seven
received the sentence of death and
one was sent to the penitentlary for
seventeen years. During the trial and
afterward the friends of the accused
bitterly denounced Judge Gary for his
rulings and conduct of the case But
his decisions We're sustai ned in the
State and Federal Supreme courts, and
his course went far toward solving the
problem of dealing with an element
which had announced it's antagonism
to organized society and sought to de-
stroy the whole fabric of enlightened
civilization.

Writing Good English.

There Is duty for Americans which
few of them take into serious account.
That Is the duty of learning to write
good English; not that they may en-.
large the already too-long list of peo-
pie who want to contribute to news
papers, but merely that they may ex-
press themselves In their letters SO
that other people will know what they
mean. This thing of knowing how to
write clear business letter is as nee
essary to women as to men. Before
learning to play the piano or paint
china woman should learn to express
herself in her native tongue. 1t is al.
most as important as knowing how to
make beds or broll a beefsteak: not
quite, to be sure, but 1t is SO import
ant that 1t needs greater attention than
it gets. The inability to write clearly
comes in part from a slovenly way of
thinking. We do not reason In straight
lines. We have lot of ideas, but they
are jumbled. This is not so noticeable
in speech, but when they are commit.
ted to paper the fabric is lottery
affair. To be systematic in thought
and action, that Is the secret of clear
ness. People should understand once
and for all that the ability to write
does not come as gift from God. but
that neither is 1t hluden art. and
that a little practice and thought will
enable them to write clearly and un.
derstandingly. They owe it to them.
selves and their neighbors to give that
matter that practice and that thought
