HONOR FOR DIR. JOYNES.
University Professor Granted Retir-
af ing Allowance from Carnegie
Foundation.

Y Columbia, Jan. 7.-At the meet
4 ing Of the faculty Of the University
of South Carolina this afternoon
announcement was made that DR..
Edward S. .)oyncs had been voted
a handsome "rctiring allowance
i by the Carnegie board for the ad-
Vanccment Of education, ''in con-
sideration Of unusual and distin-
n gushcd service as professor Of
%modcrn languages"
& This complimentary action was
based on record Of continuous
and varied service since 1853, and
has been recommended by many Of
DR.. Joyncs's old pupils and friends,
who occupy prominent and import
ant positions in various parts Of the
country. DR.. Jovnes has accord
ingIy submitted his resignation, to
take effect at the close Of the pres
cnt session.
For twenty-five years DR.. Joyncs
s,2EShas been member Of the faculty
3spf the South Carolina College,
&}sa11ow the University Of South Car
E%$ollna. Before that he was a men,
sbcr Of the faculty Of Washington
and Lee University, at Lexington,
Va, serving under the presidency
OF Gen. Robert +. Lee, and before
that time he was teacher at the
University Of Virginia, where he
had studied and obtained his de-
gree. Since coming to the South
Carolina State College he has been
engaged, not only in teaching, but
III the preparation Of text books,
which have gained wide Use
throughout the United States. DR..
Joyncs has for years ranked as one
of the country's leading teachers
III modern languages, and his york
as author and teacher has COM
mendcd him to the Carnegie board.
1t is the rule Of the Carnegie forln-
dation that no "rctiring allowance"
shall be granted to teachers in
state Or dcnor1inational institu-
tions, but on account Of his distin-
guishcd services in the cause of
education an exception has been
made in the case Of DR.. Joyncs.
DR.. .Joyncs has since its founda-
ton been a trustee Of Winthrop
College and las taken an acute in
tcrest in the affairs Of the state at
large. He is man Of wide lcarn-
ing and broad sympathics and,
while nc will retire from active
work at the close Of the present
session, it is hoped that he will be
prevailed on to remain as adviser
and counsellor at the University of
South Carolina. His place at the
head Of the department Of modern
languages will indeed be hard to
fill T. r.

There is considerable interest mani
tested by those interested In the Ben
nington baseball team in the project
to secure other grounds than the ath-
etic field for the games the coming
season. While no move has as yet
been made in that direction there is a
large following among the fans who
would welcome an effort on the part
of the directors TO secure the LOT at
the corner of Main and Stafford
streets belonging to William Morgan.
| II is argued that the grounds can be
fitted up at a small expense. compar-
atively speaking, and that the location
and surroundings make the site far
more desirable than the athletic field.

TWO STRANGE TREES.
The Majava Yucca a Vegetable Freak
The Creeping Oak of Monterey.

California has one tree which Is the
personification Of mystery. Found
nowhere else In the world. 1t had
mysterious origin and thrives in re-
gion OF mystery.
The Mojava yucca is vegetable
freak which has developed into q
species. 1t has the characteristics OF
several plants, to which no relation.
ship can be traced.
1t is an endogen, yet its bark shows
concentric rings such as characterize
the exogenous stems. 1t lives and
thrives in great numbers in region
early devoid Of vegetation, in land
of heat and thirst and barrenness.
Another tree in California which
has q peculiar personality is the creep
ing oak of Monterey.
Nowhere in the vegetable kingdom
can be found SO true a representative
OF monopoly. The tree Is Of gnarly
growth, its limbs, like those Of the
sycamore. bending and twisting in all
directions.
Wherever branch touches the
earth 1t takes root and becomes, as 1t
were, another trunk, though still n
branch Of the main stem, drawing
nourishment both from the parent
stem and from the new source. In
this manner the tree is spread till It
has taken possession a five acres Of
ground, and 1t is still advancing.-P.

Letter to DR.. n. r. Bristol,
Bennington, Vt.

Dear Sir A new word has come In
to use in paint; II Is strong. Strong
paint is paint as strong as paint can
be, Weak paint Is paint not so strong
II one paint takes 10 gallons to do a
job and another 10, the lO-gallon paint
Is the stronger.
II one paint wears 10 years, and an
other 8, the 10 year paint Is the strong
er
The strongest paint Is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes
and greater Devoe is the strongest OF
all. A job that takes 10 gallons Devoe
takes more than 20 of some. And a
job Of Deyoe wears several times as
long as Job of some paints.
o. II. Perry, East Sth street, Erie
Pa, painted two houses same size;
same time with two paints same price
took gallons Devoe TO 4 Of the other;
and In three years Deyoe was the bet
ter looking job.
There are strong and weak paints;
we all want the strongest; paint can't
be too strong.
