Cruel, but Necessary.

The Eskimos dread the winter and take early precautions to provide against famine. As the season ap- breaches the great herds of reindeer migrate southward. and the walrus or the seal are all that remain for food. When an in wind Is blowing the wal rus Is easily found on the outer edge of the ice packs. When 1t Is blowing off the shore, however, the ice packs sail out to sea with the walruses on them. The natives then class their numbers in list from the strongest to the weakest. The food that is in store is divided up. the weakest having the smallest quantity, the strongest the largest. Thus the mightiest hunters have strength to provide for the oth- CTS. It is cruel system. but neverthe- less necessary one. If all were weak. all would die: if some are strong, they will save many of the weak.

Question and Answer.

When Nathan NJ. Morse was trying the Tuckerman will case before Judge McKlm, Dr. Jelley, the we'll known expert on insanity. was one of the witnesses. One of the hypothetical questions asked of the witness by Mir. Morse contained no less than 20,0O words. The lawyer started this pithy question at the opening of court and closed only few minutes prior to the noon adjournment. The point that MT. Morse was endeayoring to bring out re- lated to the mental condition of the testator when he made his will.
 This is said to have been the longest single Interrogation ever made in a court of law, and the answer com prised just three words, 'I do not."-- Boston Herald

oOLU AND THE SEA.
Why the Metal Is Shipped In Bars
 Rather Than In Coin.


 When the banks ship gold across the Atlantic" said banker, they pre- fer to ship 1t in bars rather than in coin. It loses less that way"
 Tt loses lessy'
 Yes, sir, If S1.000,OO0 in gold coins Is shipped across the sea 1t is only $999 300 on it's arrival. It loses from twelve to fifteen ounces, about S200, through abrasion, through knocking about with the motion of the waves. The sea makes gold lose weight, you see, the same as It does human beings Gold bars lose less. In fine weather they will only lose about S100 to each million. In the ugliest weather they don't lose over $150, whereas in like conditions gold coins have been known to lose $500 As gold shipments of Sl0,- 0O0,000 often occur, to make these ship ments in gold bars Instead of gold coin is saving of Sl,0O0 or more. It is odd to think when you cross in one of those gold laden ships that every wave that hits the boat clips of 10 to l5 cents from its golden cargo. o."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

ITO the Bitter End

One of the most interesting phases of the study of language is the peculiar manner in which words and phrase, originating in mistakes finally grow in. to the common speech of the people.
 An instance of this is the expression gro the bitter end,' which is common. ly used to denote the final extremity Of a crisis. Although perfectly proper to day, it is in reality a mistake. The cor rect phrase is "to the better end, and arose from the fact that when yesse has paid out all her cable in a storm | has run out to the endwhieh has besr little used, and, therefore to the bettei end
 Daniel-D Defoe uses the. proper phrase in Robinson Cruesoe in his description of the storm at Yarmouth, when he says 'We rode with two anchors ahead and the cables veered out to the betta end '

Considering a Change

Lucy caused her mistress lot of worry by receiving the attentions of a dashing head waiter at a seaside resort hotel. Really, you ought to speak to Lucy about it, so the friends of the girl s mistress told her. It would be too bad to see Lucy in love with mar ried man. v Speak to her she did, but to her surprise she saw Lucy parading the board walk the next evening in the same old company, and so the fol lowing day Lucy was taken severely to task.

Taeitus, the great Roman historian, was the originator of the phrase, "Con- spicuous by his absence,' when, de- scribing the funeral of Junia in his An males, he said that the images of her famous kinsmen Brutus and Cassius shone by their absence. Lord John Rus sell popularized the phrase in England in 1859 by saying of Lord Derby's re- form bill, cone provision is eonspieu- ous by its presence, another by its ab- sence.v -

been handling the dictionary lately
with the following result:
"Soon the toll of school will end
And our pleasures will begin;
No more school bell then to ring.
No more switches then to bring,
No more quarrels then to fight,
No more lessons to recite.
Locked will be our schoolhouse door,
Not a child to tread the floor.
In the meadow, sweet and gay,
Where the water flows all day,
Blithely singing we shall roam,
Never thinking once to moan.
Though at first we'll be 80 glad,
Well grow tired, then grow sad;
Wish for our teachers back again
And the long VACATIONS end"
AS this is the last week of school,
there will be no more graded school
items this session; but we hope that
you will hear from as again next
fall. We wish to thank Mr. Wolfe,
who has so kindly given us space in
mis- valuable paper, for his kindness.

ans marched to the river
side cemetery where they
laid upon the graves of those
who repose beneath the sod
those strangers from Georgia,
who gave their lives for their

Before leaving the court room
Commandant Kinder called at
tention to the fact that in the
Presbyterian cemetery were in
tered the remains of a number
of Williamsburg soldiers who
had laid down their lives for
the Confederate cause and that
last year on Memorial day their
graves had not been decorated
and that he thought these graves
should also be given attention.
Accordingly the hour of four p.

ences. r.
1t was a gala day for Kings
tree and it is hard to say who
were most pleased, the vets in
neir appreciation of the enter
tainment afforded them, or the
citizens of Kingstree in being
allowed the privilege of minis
Eering to the pleasure and com.
fort of the men they hold in
such great esteem.
i It was decided to make this
Entertainment of the veterans a
spermanent Institution, and here
After annually on Memorial day
I've hope to have them with US.
AS illustrative of the good
Feeling called forth by the at
yentieu shcwered upon them, we
had several veterans to tell US
that thev had been to Colum-
bia, to Charleston and to Rich
inond on reunion occasions, but
thatKingstree outdid them all
in the genuineness of her well
come. AS they expressed it,
in the other places named there
were all sorts of traps to take
their money, but here the re-
verse obtained. Everything
was free and the absence of ul-
terror motive was forcibly de.
monstrated by the fact that
every store and even the dis
pensart was closed.
Between II and II o'clock the
meeting of camp Wee Nee was
opened with prayer by Rev E E
Erwin, followed by a short ad-
dress of welcome by Comman-
dant H H Kinder.
Next came one of the most
Interesting features of tie oc.
cassion, the presentation OF a
silken banner to the camp by
Master William Gadsden Gam
BILE, the bright young son of our
townsman, DR. w u Gamble.
The young orator acquitted
himself most creditably and ell
icited hearty applause at the
conclusion OF his speech. We
give below his remarks in full:
"Mr Commandant and Veter-
ans: l greet you!
lam proud today that l, a
grandson of a private soldier,
should be allowed the privilege
of presenting to you this flag.
Your deeds of valor have been told,
In almost every language on this globe,
Your praises have been sung,
In a thousand different tongues;
Nor can ! add single word.
To what you have already heard
And il only remains for me to
tell you what, We your grand
sons, think of YOU,
I have stood on Pennsylvania
avenue,In the city of Washing
ton, and gazed upon that beau
tiful pile of marble called the
Capitol, magnificent in struc-
ture and beautiful in architec-
tural design, and only felt a
thrill of pride at the greatness
of our land. l have stood in

liberty which extends from
Klondikes S rugged peaks to
Florida's coral reefs; that liber'
ty which makes its influence
felt from Harvard's classic
walls to the bamboo hut in the
Philippine group-and yet l
was unmoved. But none OF
these sights so warmed my
blood, as when / stood on King
street in our old city OF Char.
lesion during the recent reunion
and saw the veterans pass with
iufrm but ste adv tread. My
thoughts went back to the day
they donned the gray. AS l
looked upon those noble me n, in
my Imagination l saw lovers
passionate kiss, a mothers fond
embrace, a husbands farewell
to his beloved wife, and l bowed
my head and wept.
Now, Mr Commandant, l pre-
sent to you this flag, never
more to be unfurled in strife;
but sometimes float her in the
breeze, that the children of this
generation and of those that
are to come, may know
that we, your grandsons,
believed you to be right; but if
you were wrong we would be
with you all the same. l say it
and l repeat it, thatl believe
you to be right, but if you were
wrong, We would be with you all
the same. And I trust in God
that the day is not far distant
when there will be such a fash
of silvery light across the bend
ing skies and that there will be
such an illumination on the
question of States Rights and
Secession, that all men will see
the glory of your Cause.
And may Almighty God show
er His choicest blessing upon
you. Farewell"
DR. w L Wallace, himself a gal
liant veteran, next addressed his
old comrades and his speech
was replete with pathos and el.
oquence, moving to tears the
men with whom he had stood
shoulder to shoulder when they
fought for Southern rights.
But the piece de resistance in the
way of speech-making was the
address of Rev j E Mahaffey,
the orator of the day. Mr. Ma
haffey read his speech from
manuscript and his carefully
compiled facts and statistics
showed what the South had a.
chieved in the making of the his
tory of the nation. He proved
conclusively that what had'been
wrought in ante-bellum great
ness devolved mainly upon tie
energy and brain of the South
and in post-bellum days, not
withstanding the grinding pow
erty and oppression covering a
period of more than four decades,
the South has still maintained
her prestige in affairs at home
ana ABROAD.
Mr. Mahaffey's speech evoked
much favorable commendation
and next week it will be printed
in full in THE RECORD.
The pupils of the graded
school were present in a body,
numbering about two hundred
and added much to the interest
and pleasure of the exercises by

patriotic songs and, withal their.
