lodge. At night he will speak on
THE objectionable Sin. The public
is invited.
We regret to hear that some folks
who have plenty room decline to
entertain any OF the delegates to
the State Sunday School Convention
at their homes. This is the wrong
spirit. The ladies and gentlemen
who will attend this convention are
among the best people OF their COM
munites, and we should entertain
them in such way as to make the
best impression of them.
Some of the folks who attend the
Sunday School State Convention as
delegates or officials will visit Or
angeburg for the first time on that
occasion, and they are going to be
surprised at the size and beauty of
our little city. Orangeburg is one
of the most progressive and substan-
tial looking towns lin the State.
That is why people are surprised on
their first visit to the city.

THE corn doctor came to town
last week too late for publication.
He got off the train with his
kin ding wood and hatchet in
one hand and dydamite and cash
register in the other. He drop
ped right into the printing office
and announced himself; he said
he would locate the corns free
of charge and chase them off of
the premises for a small fee.
He seemed sorry to learn that
there were no corns making life
miserable and sorrel top shoes
unbearable around the office.
He said it gave him bad luck to
miss job at the first place. We
felt in some way responsible for
this bad start and told him of a
friend who had corns old
enough to vote and big enough
to saw wood; one of the corns
was so large that he had to car
ry it in a sling outside of the
shoe. The corn doctor took his
name down on a parchment
which he carried in his hat
and went out to hunt HIM up
We went around in the afternoon

The Eloouence of Sorts.

There are Englishmen whose trade
is to express blasphemy, and others
who compose insults which are sup
posed to weaken the devotion of the
nation to its sovereign. But such
persons are very few and perfectly
harmless. They are hopelessly, almost
pathetically, out of touch with the
current of opinion.

Cupid at Ball Game

When Tom Sumner received the
| intimation that he had been selected
as one of the team to representatives.
| call 1t Yalevard-he thought there had
been a mistake. But there was his
notification signed by Steve Roach,
the captain.
Nevertheless, Tom was elated. al
though he couldn't forget his ignoble
failures to 'hit and run or "bunt or
get hit by pitched ball." on occa-
sions when he had been ordered
He knew the game WELL but for lack
of confidence he had always done
something or other that wasn't right
Il don't know why Roach has placed
me- he said to his particular chum,
Jim Barclay. 81 will probably only
make an idiot of myself"
perhaps that explains it," replied
Jim, meaningly.
Tom stopped short. Barclay had
given him the solution. There was
little love lost between himself and
Roach. Both were head and ears in
love with pretty Nora Reynolds. More
over, Roach, the son Of a wealthy man,
had everything in his favor.
The great day dawned at last and
proved glorioUsly fine. Long before
time for play was called the grounds
| were packed with shouting enthusi-
asts. Tom saw Nora chatting with
Roach and her fatho,.
"They have worked in professional
on you fellows to pitch" said Barclay
to Tom. 81 wouldn't wonder if he
were Rube Waddell"
Tom didn't feel good over the infor-
nation. Rube Waddell Lord! Tom,
from past experience, didn't think he
could hit sand-lot pitcher.
The game started, Yalevard at bat.
Roach, with malice pretense," put
Tom at the head of the batting order.
Poor Tom struck out on three pitched
balls. Crestfallen, he went and hid
himself behind the grandstand, where
Barclay found him.
I'm going to quit" said Tom.
"You keep right on, or I'll knock
the stuffing out of you. Be game. I've
got seat alongside Nora and her
father, and l saw tears in her eyes
when you hit the air.
In the second half, with three on
bases and two out, the ball was hit on
a line to left field. With determin-
alton born of despair. Tom went after
it, grabbed it with his ungloved mitt
amid tremendous applause, and retir-
ed the side, scoreless.
"That was great CATCH" said
Nora's father. "It was beauty" re-
sponded Nora. But Roach, who was
visiting the box, said: "If he hadn't
struck out that last time we might
have made some runs"
THAT man is a conceited ass, I'm
beginning to think" commented Nora's
father, as Roach went onto the field.
The game went on as most games
do. Tom, encouraged, played brilliant
ly. Roach, all upset, fooled badly,
but neither side had scored when the
ninth came around. Tom was up "a
gain, and landed terrific swipe over
the 'a2se for homer, but instead of
running he turned for an instant to-
wards the grandstand, and yelled as
he started the circuit: "How was that
one, Nora?' And pretty voice re-
sounded amid the plaudits: Great,
Tom, great; take your time its way
over the fence" That was the winning
run, and no other score was made.
THAT Tom is great hitter" said
Nora's father that evening at dinner.
"Yes, pa" she said, demurely,
grasping opportunity "ani he wants
to marry me-
Well,' said the old man, make an
other home run for him"

THE ASSESSOR

Every spring brings around
the assessor. He is elected by
the people to collect statistics
from the most responsible source
possible, so that a birds eye
view may be had Of t h e
vast wealth or hollow poverty
that each and every citizen
h as gathered around h m.
1t cannot be called snap, at
least not as soft as mud; for the
assessor has many stumbling
blocks placed in his way and he
is supposed to look through the
wrong end of a telescope darkly
at a number of peoples goods
and chattles. This is hard on
the assessors eyes, and brings
out large drops of sweat on his
imagination. 1t takes but a few
minutes to answer the assessors
questions right, but it takes a
long time to answer them wrong
and the assessor generally
knows when you wink the other
eye. 1t is not customary to put
a selling price on your plunder
in the presence of the assessor;
he dosen't expect it. He only
wants a so per cent. off for cash
statement and he's got you; the
assessor treats all men with the
same language; he was not elect
ed to search your pockets or to
take up the hall carpets looking
for diamonds, and he doesn't do
it. He just puts down, one sew
ing machine, one bay COW, four
yoke of coal stoves, one upright
moral piano, one brass knocker
one two handed clock, one prune
colored parlor suite, fifteen sticks
of hardwood, stove length, one
door bell, one boot jack. one
cistern half full of water, one
pair of high chairs, one lawn
tennis hammock, with summer
openings; three lamps full of
oil, one coal bin, empty, four
hardwood bedsteads, one pair of
stairs, one cat, assessed in Wis
consin, one set of house cleaning
utensils (owned by a syndicate),
one watch warranted to be gold
for twenty years; one garden
rake, borrowed; one wheel bar
row, lent; one baby carriage, not
in use, one cellar, two bushels of
potato sprouts, one peck of po-
tatOeS, one chlldS saving bank,
80 cents on deposit, one mouth
organ, complete; one dog collar,
not licensed; one pair of bars,
clothes bars, one parasol, ivory
handle, one pocket book, vacant;
one movable hand sled, not in
business. There is really no
work in being assessor, it is just
a sort of relaxation period, it is
a trifle hard on shoe leather and
the conscience. The work is
paid for, part in hard cash and
part in hard words.
