Investigated by Ministerial AS
ISOLATION This Fall and
Winter. -..
TRAFFIC is OF INTEREST
TO CITIZENS OWING TO RECENT
DISCLOSURES IN THIS CITY,
REV. DAVID huNTlNGToN's Elk.
PERiENcE.

Members of the Ministerial asso-
citation want to know more concerning
the white slave traffic and it is prob
able that the committee on subjects
will include white slavery as one Of
the subjects to be discussed in the
next ten months by the members Of
the association. The association has
been promised by Fam Mortensen. su-
perintendent OF the Rescue league Of
America. with headquarters at Chica-
go. that he will send them literature
on the subject. Mr.. Mortensen was
in the city Monday.
The subject is Of particular interest
to both the ministers Of the city and
public at large, because it is said the
$3,000,0 900 organization for the seduc-
ton OF young girls is endeavoring to
instance Of their nefarious work came
to light recently with the arrest Of
Miss Nellie Ginger, a resort keeper
of Springfield. o.
Talks to the Ministers.
Rev. David Huntington, pastor of St.
Pauls Episcopal church made a short
talk before the Ministerial association
in which he said that it was the duty
of every. Christian man to take a part
in the destruction OF the traffic. He
said that in his trips over the country.
he had noticed men about 40 years Of
age with young girls. he should judge
about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Their affection toward each other. has
always been suspicious to him. How
ever. he says that he was no doubt
often mistaken as to the intentions of
the men and women, as he was on one
occasion, which he investigated. He
found the parties were father and
daughter.
Not only is the Rev. Mr.. Huntington
very much interested in some means
of destroying the traffic but the other
ministers are of like opinion. So Tar
as he knows, there is no systematic
organization on the part Of the gov
eminent or any organizations to put q
stop to the traffic. He said he would
gladly become a member Of any such
organization If he knew of its exis.
tence.

South Harpswen. Me-. Sept. IL
Mrs. Robert e. Peary's share In her
husbands arctic exploration has been
unusual. She has made five trips with
him and has become known as the
chief feminine authority on matters

POEM KEEP SWEET
Bit of Verse Which A. w. Hem
pIeman Prizes Highly.

A. W. Hempleman, Of this city, has
just received piece Of poetry which
he feels that all should read. It was
written by a gentleman he met when
in Florida. and was occasioned by an
other gentleman in their party. who
always tried to keep sweet" no mat
ter what arose.
The poem here produced was sent
to Mr.. Hempleman. excepting the last
verse, which he applied:
Keep Sweet.
Most every man has troubles. its a
heirloom of the race
But you needn't wear your heirlooms
a-branded in your face;
Thar amt no use in broodin, you can
make your troubles thin
Ell you don't set out beneath the caves
and let 'em all soak in.
Keep Sweet.
You grunt and groan because thar amt
no smooth place on your hill.
Well, it won't get any smoother cause
you grind your trouble mill.
Don't lay back in the breechin. 'er sit
around and whine
It's level on the hilltops, and the
scenery thar is fine.
Keep Sweet.
It does seem sort o GURUS but its
surprisin' true
Ell you heller at your neighbor, he'll
heller back at you.
Jess plow around yer miseries, turn
the sunshine on your blues
Yer ole chimney'll quit smokin' eff
yen open up her flues.
Keep Sweet.
The light is lighter than the dark is
dark, git all the light you can
There's lots OF loose material a-waitin'
fer you man.
Listen, the crick that's got a rocky
bed, and runs on toughest ground
Is amazin' apt to be the one that has
the sweetest sound.
Keep Sweet.
II neighbors cows get in your corn
don't run and get your gun
Jess drive 'em out. fix up the fence. its
the bet;t thing can be done.
Perhaps your COWS are in his corn
these things are sometimes true
/ wouldn't advise he get his gun and
shoot you COWS, would you?
Keep Sweet

ATLANTA WANTS" We"
Invites Richmond's NeWspa-
per O'Possum Club to
Meet Pres. Taft.
SQUABBLE OVER WHO GOES

Secretary Of the O'Possum Club,
Richmond, Indiana"
Such was the address of a very i'm
portant letter received at the postof-
flee yesterday which caused q big stir
among the members Of the club, for it
was back stamped Atlanta, Georgia,
and it was just the letter the club mem.
bers had been expecting for many days.
or since it was announced that Pres
ident William Taft would be q guest
of the Atlanta OPossum club this fall,
at another 'possum feast.
Imagine, however, the dismay Of the
club because the letter laid in the post
office for an hour or two longer than
it would have. had the secretary of the
club still been q resident of the city.
1t bore an invitation to attend the
feast and sit at the same table with
Taft.
Raymond Swing was formerly secre-
tary of the club. He now is a resident
Of Indianapolis. and accordingly. the
letter did not reach him. One of the
members of Rfchmond's celebrated
newspaper club was asked concerning
who would be the proper person to re-
ceive the letter.
It was brought to this office. A
squabble is now ensuing among the
members as to who is to receive the
honor, and who is entitled to the same.
Some OF the members claim because
they have written Taft's name several
times, that the privilege and honor is
theirs.
A meeting will be called in the near
future, the vacation period now being
over, at which time the all important
matter win be settled. At this meet
ing it is probable that new members
will be initiated on 'possum and told
of its ways.

Aiken, Aug. &c. c. Johnson, a
colored physician, was found guilty Of
selling a medicine called "dandelion, -

Two white men testified that they
bought the medicine from Johnson

with a like amount of water, made
them drunk.

would take into consideration the

Aid Given Weak Schools.

Since the first of the month State
Supe rintendent of Education Swear.
ingen has paid out over $1,000 to the
veal, schools of the State making ap-
plication of the fund appropriated by
the Legislature for that purpose. APP
proximately $1,000 was paid during
the spring. The Legislature appro-
priated 100000 for aid to the weak
schools Of the State, and there is only
about $4,000 of this left for distribu-
ton. There are applications for over
S2,5tO I'm the office of Mr.. Swearingen
to be acted upon. The amounts paid
out range from $40 to 500 to each
school. The counties in which the
most money has been distributed are
Horny, Saluda. Laurens and Pickens.
The amount appropriated by the
Legislature annually for the weak
schools of the state is very small. and
il is the hope of many that the APP
preparation will be increased to at
least $4,000 at the next session Of
the Legislature. This would mean a
great improment i'm the schools. \
resolution favoring the increase of the
appropriation was passed at the con
ference of the county superintendent
Of education held in Spartanburg sew
eral weeks ago. and also at a meet
ing Of the school trustees of Spartan
burg county.

HE HAD THREE KIDNEYS.
Operation in Boston Hospital Re-
veals Singular Fact.

From Howell (Me.) Dispatch.
George F. Randall, who drives one
of the public carriages, has just un-
dergone an operation in one of the
BOSTON hospitals which revealed a
singular malady. He was in poor
:alth for more than a year, and the
trouble seemed to battle the skill of
every physician to whom he went,
until at las: he was advised to go e.
Boston.
The operation revealed the fact
that Mr.. Randall had three kidneys,
to one of which was attached large
tumOr. The diseased kidney was re-
moved, the operation was successful,
and the patient expects to reach
home next week. A singular condi
tion is that Mr.. Randall was one of
twin brothers; and the brother, who
died when young, had but one kid
ney.
