sympathy.
= = :;
On Tuesday afternoon in the chapel
the Shakespherian Club held its reg
ular meeting. The secretary and ser.
geant-at-arms being absent, these
places were filed by Gertrude Polk
and Clara Miner. The following is
the interesting program:
Quotations from "The Winters
Tale" sections "B" and "E"-Sopho-
mores.
Piana Solo-Stella Mason.
observation-disclosures Siebe.
Reading from "The Winters Tale"
act 1, scene 1; Archidamus, Miss Nor
ris; Camille, Katie L. I. Allen; act 1.
scene Q, Leontes, May Farley; Polk
mes, Davie McDevitt; Hermione, Ruth
Neel; Mamillius, Clara Miner; Camil-
10, Virginia Mcleod.
The club then adjourned to meet
again next Tuesday week.
The girls who were fined at the
last meeting Of the Shakespearean
club for talking evidently did not
bring their "nickels," for those who
passed Miss Ms room on We'd
nesday after school saw the patient
penitents suffering the consequences
of talking. Our sympathy is offered
them. Just think! They could not
talk. 1t reminded one of Quaker
meeting, and the threadbare saying,
silence reigned," was in this case
made new by force Of truth.
One of the city schools has such
nice way In thinking Of the sick. If,
after school, there are any flowers in
the building some of the children take
them to a pupil or teacher who is
sick. This is sweet attention, and
IL it were followed by all of our
schools It would cause many heart to
beat faster and give quite a number
of pleasant moments to those who are
by illness to be absent from
their usual places.
. : I.
The question on which section H.,
of the Lamar Literary society, re-
bated was: Resolved, that Chinese
and Japanese children should be ex-
cluded from the public schools" Both
sides had strong points, which were
well developed. But in the end the
was declared victorious.
The Juniors were declared victo-
rious.
The Juniors are glad to welcome
to the H. s. again Edna Heron, who
has been absent nearly three weeks
on account of illness.

Another interesting meeting of the
Lamar Literary society was held on
Tuesday afternoon. Nearly all the
members of the high school were
present, and enjoyed the program,
which was as follows
Piano Solo-Francis Ferguson.
Debate: Resolved, that Japanese
immigrants should be excluded from
United s"-Affirmative, Ernest
Dixon; negative, Dunnon Andrews.
The negative side won.
Debate: Resolved, that match
games Of football should be played by
high schools-Negatiye, Edgar Polk;
affirmative, Charles Thrash. The neg
alive side was fortunate again.

OF INTEREST
" HIGH SCHOOL
KITE S. L ALLEN, Reporter.

Perhaps the public will wonder next
week why they do not see going to and
from school the jolly set of girls and
boys, who usually pass thru town. In
their places will be long faced, sub
dued mortals, who seem to hear the
weight of centuries upon their tired
shoulders. One word, the mystic SYM
boil. the key to the Dark Tower, is
this:-"Examinations". They begin
Monday and last thru the entire week.
So dear friends we have the pleasing
anticipation of living in an agony of
suspense for all that time. Those who
have passed thru the ordeal can fully
realize the oppressiveness of the at
mosphere and we know we have their
sympathy.

citic.
But, after all yoa may perhaps ak,
suppose the tourist instead Of harden
ing his heart aga;n:t all this misery,
bestows a few Of his spare coppers
upon these unhappy supplicants? 1t
happens that I can picture in very
few words the exact result Of such
course. An American gentleman,
whose commercial affairs brlag him
to Naples every winter, tells me- that
one morning, as the result Of wager,
he changed piece of 20 lire into
soldi 600 soldi), loaded his pockets
with the pennies, and then went about
his accustomed business, neither seek
ing or avoiding the thoroughfar's
most frequented by beggars, but CIV
ing one soldi to each mendlcant who
asked personally for aims. Between
$50 a. m. and noon he spent
only little more than two hours in
the streets and cafes, but at ll:20 a.
m. the last of his 500 soldi had dis
appeared.

When the Small Boy Scored.

President Nicholas Brown, for
whom Brown University was named,
was fond Of quizzing small boys.
One day, while walking in the streets
Of Providence he came upon a little
fellow who attracted his notice.
''How do you do, my boy?" said
the president. "What's your name?'
my name is Harry, SIR" replied
the child.
"Harry, it is?" returned Presi-
dent Brown. And did you know the
evil one is often called Old Harry?"
"Why, no SIR" answered the boy.
II thought he was called Old
Nick.'

MART" FLOYD WINS.
Strong Protest, it is Said, Will be
Made Against His Appointment,
Despite His Recommendations.

The State Bureau.
Washington, April l5.-The presl-
dent today sent to the senate the
name of William NJ. Floyd to be post
master at Spartanburg. That's
"Mart." Although, at the insls-
tence Of a number Of Spartanburg
people, Postmaster General Hitch
cock agreed to withdraw the name he
had sent to the president, it was
either too late or Mr.. Hitchcock
changed his mind.
Senator Smith left here this after
noon for Florence, but it is known
that he will ask the senate to with
hold confirmation pending any pro-
test which may come, and it is under
stood such a protest is on the way.
The remarkable psychological phe-
nomena in Spartanburg suddenly de-
veloped by the postofice vacancy IS
furnishing material for curious spec
ulators in certain quarters Of this
capital.
Ten days ago the Hon. Mart blew
into town, within the umbrageous
guardianship Of Hon. Leumas W. Z.
Blalock of Clinton and other places.
Blalock on one side, John 6. Cap
ers on the other, he was duly, cere-
moniously steered into the presence
Of the Hon. Frank. H.. Hitchcock.
There were emptied out before the
Hitchcockian gaze some three or four
pccks of personal letters Of encoml-
ums of Mart. They were written by
merchants, lawyers, .tailors, doctors,
teachers, preachers, bank presidents,
railroad presidents, cotton mill presl-
dants, college presidents, city and
county officials, politicians Of every
stripe, color and previous condition,
all testifying in the most superlatlve
terms that Mart was about the most
high toned, honorable, handsome and
distinguished citizen among them ana
that if there ever was a man preeml-
nently qualified to be postmaster at
Spartanburg he was "it.''
Neither could the postmaster gen.
eral or any other escape the inevitable
conclusion that there was an oppor"
tunity for Mr.. Taft to make himself
solid with Spartanburg by appointing
the man that everybody seemed to
have hit upon as the one and only
and the very pet Of the community.
Lo, what is the astonishment in the
postmaster generals and other peo-
ple's minds when word comes post
haste and through the medium Of two
senators that Mrt Floyd isn't fit for
the job, that in fact Of all the unit
men in and around Spartanburg tor
the job of postmaster he is the un-
fttest! Petitions, protests, personal
letters to the postmaster general dis
cussing Mart in all the relations OF
life are coming in, and Mr.. Hitch
cock is studying psychology.
