The Newberry Bar Association held
another meeting yesterday at the re-
quest Of a few Of the members to

The action taken last week was
published in full in The Herald and

amendment was adopted by the SEN
ate on 1ast Thursday night as an
amendment to the bill introduced IN
the house by Mr.. Bryan, of Charles
ton. and in the senate by Mr.. Slnkler,
Of Charleston.
It seems that some Of the members
Of the bar were opposed to the
amendment and did not want any
court Of common pleas with the jury
except September term.
A resolution was adopted, however,
at the meeting yesterday reafirming
the action Of the bar taken at the
meeting last Thursday. Only two
members. Messrs. Geo. Johnstone and
George B. Cromer, voted against the
resolution.
Il was also resolved that a copy OF
the resolution reaffirming the action
taken last Thursday should be SEN
TO DR.. Wvche. as chairman Of the
house delegation from this county.
and to the senator from Ncwberry,
sioned by the chairman and the sec
retary Of the meeting.
4 resolution was also offered thank
inc Mr.. E. H. Aull for his services IN
s,aving the amendment adopted. This
resolution was adopted with the ex-
ception Of the vote Of Mr.. George
Jollnstone, who voted against it. Mr..
Aul: was present at the meeting OF
the Bar Association yesterday and re-
ouested that the resolution of thanks
which was offered be withdrawn, but
the action was as stated.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

In dry season plants consume an
incredible amount of water. Not only
do they use much water for growth,
but enormous quantities of moisture
ls given off to the surrounding atmos-
phere through the leaves and evapora-
tion increases with the density of the
foliage, says the Field and Farm. A
well formed ten year old dwarf pear
tree, for instance, will evaporate daily
about fifteen pounds or seven quarts of
water and an orchard of five acres will
use more than 10000 gallons in twelve
days. To insure sound and healthy
growth Of our trees and plants, we
must supply them with large amount
Of water, especially in midsummer
when the moisture Of the soil is absorb
ed by the rays Of the sun and by the
dry winds. 1t is not necessary to irri-
gate daily, but the soil must be thor
oughly moistened to the roots of
the trees and good soaking is
better than q sprinkling at any time.
The Jonathan apple is one Of the
most difficult trees for nurserymen to
reproduce rs 1t makes slow and often
crooked growth. After the fourth year,
however, 1t makes an average annual
growth and develops into one Of the
longest lived trees. The Jonathan IL
one OF the most profitable apples grown
In this country and the nurserymen
will have demand for it for the next
fifty yeas.-Denver Field and Farm.

Said man the other day: at has

table . theory his Is II the Sultan's
subjects would only look out for their
own needs in the towns where they
live, there would be no occasion to ap-
peal TO the rest Of the world for sym
pathy and help for them. II the towns
of India would only care for their own
when scourged with famine and plague
those In other lands might sit with
eyes and ears closed. II the pagan vii
lagos in Africa would only provide for
the preaching Of the gosple within
their borders. there would be no prob
lem Of missions In the Dark Continent.
II the Western mining-town with a
saloon for every fifth or sixth building
would only raise its own church and
pay Its own preacher 1t would simplify
matters greatly. II the towns along
the frontier Of countries crushed with

be responsible for the defence of the
borders, much Of the burden might be
lifted from the shoulders Of others.

A Right Kind Of Faith.

We want faith. We want faith in
ourselves. What splendid glow a
man has when, If he is trained to phy-
steal exertion, he enters into some
physical contest to which he is ade-
quate. What splendid feeling follows
the exercise of his faculties A great
many Of Us know what delight is
mentle work-hard, straining mental
work. A great many of US know the
great delight of serving some master of
our thought. But we must have faith
in ourselves to achieve victory along
any line-physical, intellectual or
moral. Let a man take pride in his
achievements of virtue. Let him take
satisfaction In his moral conquests.
Let him have faith that he can do it,
and that is half the battle.
And we want faith in our fellow
men. Do not let us look ON life cyni-
cally. Do not let US hold ourselves
'aloof and look askance on the efforts
of our brethren. Let us feel that we
are working good in this world. No.
do not let US look askance at life and
retire within ourselves and achieve a
little personal success as though it
meant anything. No matter how
much money you have, or how much
fame you have, or how much achieve
ment you have--nothing means any
thing unless you feel that you can take
hold Of mans hand-any mans If he
is Inan-and have him know that
you are real good fellow.
And we want faith in God. We
want faith in the reign Of goodness.
We want faith in the supremacy of the
Power that makes for Righteousness,

Jim Parkes's Store.

You know Jim Parks? He used to farm
Out Hopkins Corner way.
Well, he got tired of planting corn,
And cutting oats and hay.
1t was too hard and dull life
He said he could make more
To move to town and open up
A little grocery-store.
The opening-up was easy done,
And things just 'peared to swim.
You work farm, but keep store
1t seemed like fun to jim.
His trade? Well, he had more or less,
Twas hardly ever more,
But times would be better in the fall,
And-he liked keeping store.
One day last week called around,
And found him dreadful blue;
He'd kept the store all right, but kept
The things inside it, too.
The business suits me lots of ways,
But tell me how, said Jim,
A man can keep on keeping store
When it will not keep him

We gain faith by exercising faith,
Just as we improve our memories by
using them, or our intellects, or
muscles. No one need to hesitate
about going to Christ because he
has not much faith" Just to
use the least beginning of faith,
to think that Christ can help even in
some one particular, is to find that he
will bless the exercise Of that faith,
recognize the possibilities in it, and
foster it in some wise way. He can
use the least of human turning to him.
Just to rest on Christ's goodness and
power, on his love for men-that is the
right beginning.

ers Of true waterproof paper with air
spaces between. 80, not only did tbe.e
insects make and use paper long GEN.
turies before man learned To make II
but they also antedated him in the use
Of the dead air space to keep out heat
or cold, in house construction.
The material used by the wasps for
the manufacture Of paper is wood fiber
and is gnawed from the weather teatep
surfaces Of fence posts, telegraph poIes.
and dead, exposed wood every where.
Almost any telegraph or telephone pole
that has stood unpainted for q few
years bears the zigxag etchings Of the
jaws Of our paper wasps. This wood
hber is chewed to u pulp, mixed with
saliva, and then spread, mouthfuI at
time, upon the edge Of one Of the pa
per walls Of their nests. As these
mouthfuls Of wood pulp are obtained in
different places, often from painted
boards, they vary In color, 30 that upon
close examination the outline of nearly
every moutbful of pulp can be dIstin-
guished in the paper.
In the fall, each nest contains many
hundreds Of insects, queens, males,
and workers. Before winter the home
is deserted; the males and workers of
the harmonious household all die, and
the queens live over winter In pro-
tected hiding places, each to start a
new paper home the following sum-
mer.
The food Of these insects consists of
the nectar Of flowers, excretions Of
plant lice, fruit juices, and some soft
bodied insects, especially flies (Diptera) J
which they chew into pulp, and feed
to their young.
The mud wasps and some Others that
do not inclose their home with paper
walls, destroy great numbers of CATER
pillars, grasshoppers, spiders, and other
insects, but the true paper wasps can
hardly be considered of much economic
Importance. Because these wasps,
along with the ants, visit plant louse
colonies for their sweet secretions, II
should not be supposed that they do
any injury to the lice.--C. P. Gillette,
