Farewell to the Broom.

a broom to be found from cellar 10

The vacuum is controlled by a 5piggot.
1t is only necessary to pass the noz-

pet, rug or drapery, and every par

this way passes quickly into the pipe,

Representative Aull of Newberry
introduced bill, which passed, to
provide Al scholarships in the textile
department at Clemson College, at
the value of 500 each. 1t seems to
me that this act ought to mean .
great deal to the future of the textile
industry of the Safe. Cotton mills
have run in this St.te long enough
cow to develop lot of boys in the
mills who are ambitions to become
masters uf the business. | believe
the textile department at Clemson,
with the cooperation of the mill au-
thorities, will accomplish great
deal for the future of the mill in
dustrv on account of this act.
"This act further provides for the
manner of conducting Clemson
scholarship examinations. Hereaf-
ter the Clemson faculty, instead of
the county boards of education, will
examine the papers. The county
boards of education will conduct ex-
aminations and send numbers, but
not names, to the Clemson faculty,
so the examinations will be conduct
ed with absolute impartiality. This
provision covers all of the Clemson
scholarship examinations.

A WATER WITcHER.
The Way an Expert With Witch
Hazel eoush Worked.

It NAV be that his errand was IN
the natrrc Of Il cheerful gamble aft
er other resources failed, but the
fact remains that Mr.. Eastman was
on the ground equipped for busi-
ness and that the train waited upon
his investigations.
His outfit was simple. 4 friend,
acting as assistant ''witcher," car
ried a bundle of freshly cut witch
hazel boughs, trimmed in Y shaped
branches, the leaves AID buds still
on them. The two men disem-
barked.
Mr.. Eastman, stout, conventional
as to dress and looking as essential
ly practical as a veteran railroad
man ought to appear, took one OF
the V shaped witch hazel bolghs
and tightly grasped the plant ends
in his two fists, holding the point or
crotch upright. Thus equipped he
moved sedately across the prairie.
The witch hazel remained upright
for perhaps fifty feet. The crowd
trailed in behind, vastly curious.
Presently the bough began to turn
or waver. The inverted Y twisted
slowly until it was parallel With the
earth or pointing straight out from
the bearer.
He slackened his gait and moved
ahead, while the telltale bough
moved slowly down until it was
pointing toward the soil. Now the
''water witcher" had it so grasped
that it was twisting in his fists, and
the tender bark along the plant
ends was beginning TO break, show
ing that some force other than mus
cular effort was pulling the bough
toward the earth. When it pointed
straight down, he stopped and heel
ed mark in the grass.
Then he moved on, and very slow
ly the branch began to rise until at
length it had returned to the per-
pendicular in its original position.
The vein of water had been passed,
and the witch hazel was no longer
attracted.-From "a Water Witch
er of Prairies," in Outing Maya

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION MEETING
Interesting Address by Dr.. Mann. si
The Florence City Schools.

The teachers of Williamsburg
county were very fortunate in.
having DR. J L Mann, superin-
tendent of the Florence city
schools with them at the last
meeting of their Association,
held March 3, in the auditorium
of The Kingstree Graded school.
DR. Mann is an educator of no
mean reputation, and a most.
cultured gentleman. No teach
er worthy of the name who had
the pleasure of listening to his
inspiring words as he unfolded
for his audience the true con-
ception of the professional
spirit which every teacher
should possess, but felt that in
devoting her life to the cause OF
education she was entering a
calling than. which there is no
nobler, than which there is none
which contains greater possibi-
lities for the doing of good. 1t
is to be hoped that the assocla-
tion can have DR. Mann at some
future meeting when circum-
stances will be such that more
of the teachers of the county
can hear him. The bad condi,
ton of the roads owing to recent
rains rendered it jmpracticable
for many to attend. The at
tendance of friends of education
in Kingstree was very gratlfy-
ing, and they are cordially
invited to be present at the next
meeting of the Association four
weeks hence, the last Tor this
school year.
