her life long she saw them that way.
She particularly liked the great
round 20" because that stood for her
first name. On the last row of tours
she came to grief.
"This is u" said the teacher.
"Me," said little Smith with laugh.
Her English was weak, you see.
"No! 'U'" said the teacher again.
"Me," laughed little Smith, for it
was great fun to find her whole self
this time in the book.
So it went on over and over again,
until the patient teacher felt that the
little girl who had been so bright be-
fore could not be so dull now except
from sheer naughtiness. The misun-
derstood little Smith was sent away
seat with her primer in her hand
while the tears rolled down her cheeks
| until the unfortunate ''U'' was soaked.
A second trial after school was
worse than the first. The little Smith
no longer laughed.
"U," said the teacher.
"Me," sobbed the little Smith.
"You are a naughty little girl" said
the teacher as she dismissed her.
The little Smith went home with
a heavy heart for she loved the teach
er and loved school, and this first
cloud was black.
She went on her fathers shoulder
as she told her troubles, and then
dear. patient Papa Smith, in his own
bright way, made his little girl see
! what the matter was.
The clouds cleared away and long
before nine o'clock the next morning
the little Smith skipped away to
school, her black eyes shining, and
ran to her teacher, saying, "U-U-U.'-
0. o. B., in Christian Register.
TWO JACKETS AND TWO GIRLS.
There was an uneasy stir at one
side of the closet. 1t was LOUIS jack
ct. Finally, it spoke, in a tired, ner-
vous voice.
ooh, dear! Lou has left me hang
ing by a loop and my shoulders sag
so that l can hardly get my breath.
don't know how l can ever look nice
and fresh if I get no rest"
Mays jacket reused itself to an
swer:
"You poor thing l am so sorry for
you. Now, my shoulders are resting
so nicely on this coat frame. May is
never in too much of hurry to slip
me we'll on it. Tomorrow some one
will be sure to say to her. How fresh
and nice your jacket looks!'
That's just it," grumbled LOUIS
jacket.
"And they will say to Lou, How
wrinkled your jacket is! 1t doesn't
seem to keep its shape at all we'll,
while all the time it is not my fault.
How can 1 rest, hung only by loop
and that not strong one? There's
button off, too, and three-cornered
tear in one elbow that makes me very
uncomfortable. 1 suppose when it is
torn bigger her mother will see it and
mend it for her. Oh, dear! This loop
is giving way, and l am going to fall
to the floor 1 suppose that means
dust and more wrinkles"
With a gasp the jacket sat down,
falling directly upon a pair Of muddy
overshoes.
Mays jacket peered down through
darkness to where the other lay for
moment then settled itself for a quiet
nap 1t looked so fresh and bright the
next morning that no one ever dream
ed it knew all about the troubles OF
Louis Notwithstanding Star.

Valuable Information.

Col. August Kohn has our thanks
for copy Of "The Cotton Mills of
South Carolina" which is q most
valuable book of reference. The book
contains 22S pages, and contains val
liable information and statistics con-
cerning the cotton mill industry in
South Carolina. Col. Kohn spent
some time in working up this mat
ter, and it first appeared in sections
in The News and Courier every day.
The public as we'll as the people en-
gagged In the textile industry are un-
der lasting obligations to Col. Kohn
for the valuable work he has got
ten out. There is not a more COM
plete record Of cotton mill industry
of South Carolina in existence than
that which Col. Kohn has just is
sued. 1t will prove a record book
Of much value and doubtless will be
in great demand.

Fight to o Finish.

Mr.. E. D. Smith, President of the
South Carolina branch of the Cotton
Association, in speaking about the
action of the cotton mills in curtail-
ing the output of cotton goods he
said the situation should be met by
the farmers in the same way. They
should reduce the supply of cotton
so per cent by reducing the acreage
and the supply of fertilizer. This
is the only remedy he said and it
should be done. He says this is a
fight to a finish. The farmers have
the situation well in hand and there
is no reason why they should not
win out. This would meet the situ-
alton most effectively; but all efforts
heretofore to carry it out have fail
ed. The mill men sees that there
is noproftable market for their
goods and they curtail the output,
Let the farmers do the same with
their cotton and it will pay them.

A Cruel Question.

The New York Sun consciously
enquiries: How will the Republi-
can party, so long the spoiled child
of good fortune, take up it's new
role Of apologist for the calamities
begotten Of an inaptitude and a
blindness hitherto supposed to be pc
culiarly Democratic?" We don't
feel like answering for the Republi-
can party and think it is unkind Of
the Sun to rub the panic sore. when
the leaders Of that party are suffer
ing from what has happened and the
fear Of the worst to come. AS far
as the Democratic party is concern
ed we can point to many predictions
by it's wisest leaders and organs
that tronble was sure to come if the
Republican policies were persisted
in. That shows that foresight in
stead Of blindness" possessed them.

Know Each Other Better.

The New York Tribune says: "Gov,
Hughes deserves credit for declin.
ing to accept as a gift to the State
treasury certain d. .ulted bonds OF
North Carolina which are Of no val
ue to their owners. South Dakota
some time ago accepted some simi'
lar bonds, brought suit on them and
got a judgment in the supreme
court. But the people Of that com
monwealth are now ashamed Of the
transaction, and the governor re-
Gently recommended an appropria'
ton to reimburse North Carolina. A
State should not allow itself to be
made an agency to collect from
another State some vengeful indiv'
idual's uncollectible debts" There
was a time when The Tribune coulo
not have been induced to use it's in
luence for the benefit Of this sec
ton, but that day is past. The NORTH
and the South know esch other bet
ter, and there is much better feeling
existing between the two sections
for which let us be thankful.

What Is the Remedy.

We want every reader Of The
Times and Democrat to read care
fully the figures presented by the
Rev. Mr.. Bristow ID an article we
publish. on the first page in reference
to the number of homicides commit
ted>in South Carolina since last July.
It has been held by many that the
dispensary was the Schief cause Of
most Of the murders in this State
and that if it was voted out there
would be an improvement in, that
respect. But Mr.. Bristow's figures
does not bear out that view. They
show that more murders were COM
mitted in the so-called dry counties
than in the d;spensary counties.
This is, rather remarkable when
the fact is taken into consideration
that about two thirds Of our popu-
lation live in the dispensary coun-
ties. It may be possible that the
stuff sold in the dry counties for
whiskey by the blind tigers is so
vile that it causes men to commit
murder more readily than the pure
whiskey sold by the dispensaries.
This is the only reasonable explana-
ton of the matter if we areto accept
the contention Of the prohibitionists
that whiskey causes nearly all the
murders.
Be that as it may, the record is
one that should make'eve-y thought
full man in the State shudder
and ask himself what is the
remedy for this carnival Of
blood? Is there no way to stop it?
If there is, let us ind it and apply it.
We have law enough on the subject.
but.it seems hard to enforce it. What
S needed, and needed badly, is a few
hangings Of white men as well as ne
groes for murder. Animpartial en-.
forcement of the law would be a
long step towards stopping the
crime of murder in South Corolina.
