such men as John E. Calhoun, Will
liam H. Crawford. Hugh S. Legare,
James L. Petigru and other men who
came to enjoy like fame. Among
students were, in embryo, vice
president, foreign ministers. mem
bers of cabinets, governors, senators,
congressman and men Of every hon.
orable station in life McDufie rose
to a United States senatorship and
to the governorship Of South Caro-
lima. Longstreet became judge.
While the nominee of his party, the
Democratic, for congress, with his
election assured, he gave up the NOM
nation. He became a preacher, sub
Sequently to become the president Of
church colleges and State Universe
ties. A political career, so auspi-
ciously begun, was forever abandon
ed, though he never lost interest in
political affairs.
| Quaint Wellington Academy.
The boys who attend the academies
of the present, with their fine build
ings, beautiful grounds and comfort
able quarters, have little idea Of what
was the character Of Wilmington
when Judge Longstreet attended it..
/ AS most academies in the Souch be-
fore the Civil War, it was situated
on the principal lands, in the depths
of the country, far away from any
city. In its most prosperous days
it was attended by l30 students.
These lived in log cabins, whose
chimneys were mostly sticks. though
sometimes of brick. In long rows
they fronted each other. Strung out
underneath the over-arching oaks,
they formed a long street. At its
end stood the two-room school build
| ing. frame structure. One room
was for the little fellows. the other
for the more advanced boys.
A Place of self-Help.
Besides books, here the boys were
taught the doctrine of self-help. They
not infrquently built their own huts
or cabins. For fuel they were re-
quired to 60 into the woods for the
supply. Once, addressing the stu
dents Of college, he urged the les
son and benefit Of manual labor upon
young men. He said that during the
three years of his 'pupilage at Will
lingron all the fuel consumed on
his hearth was cut from the woods
by himself and roommates, and was
borne a long distance to their door.
Often they gave four hours to this
work, following it with five hours OF
evening study. Those were days OF
heroic effort and aspiration. Among
the students likewise engaged with
MIN were George n. Gilmer, who be-
came a governor of Georgia; Hugh
S. Legare, who became a cabinet
member and minister to foreign
court and MeDufie, whose positions
of honor were numerous.
Under DR.. Waddell, Wilmington
prepared students for the junior
class of any American college. CAL
houn and Longstreet entered this
class in Yale college. Patrick Noble,
who was governor Of South Carolina
entered the same class at Princeton,
while McDufie entered the Junior
class in South Carolina collge. At
ter two years at Yale and one year
in Connecticut law school, Judge
Longstreet entered upon his long,
varied and brilliant career.

"Panawanuiina."

A little dubious as to the exact shade of significance, but certainly all
 uring to the ear. is ''pangwangie." It expresses-well, what does it express1 "a cheeriness under minor discom- forts, a humorous optimism under small misfortunes, though indeed these seem dignified definitions for so in- ,ormal word. T just pangwangled home in the rain," says a friend of mine, and I know he got there drench- ed, but good tempered. we went pangwangling off to the theater last night" says my nearest neighbor, and feel pretty certain they had been blue over something and felt the need of some small gayety. It would do us all good if we pangwangled a bit more, think
 A very meaning word is the south erner's "honing." My. honey, I've just been honing to see your It is not so stilted as I've been longing" and it is much more emphatic than i've been wanting" It's a warm, affectionate, intimate word-honing. Let me put it into the addendum. well toward the front, for I love the sound of it.
 These words are not slang. They are not exactly-as one high brow friend informed mellow colloquialisms" They have a place in language, and they add considerably to its color Atlantic

An Outside VeGetarian.

"If you are not an outside vegeta- rian you are not really a vegetarian at all" The speaker was a member of Philadelphia's little vegetarian church uptown. An odd figure in his gray health shirt, gray ventilated suit, gray knit gloves, gray aerated hat. gray cloth boots. he continued: "An inside vegetarian one who puts in his inte- rior nothing that has been procured by the slaughter of animals. An outside vegetarian puts on his exterior noth- ing that has been procured by the slaughter of animals
 "See my gloves-vegetable gloves of cotton, not made of the skins of mur- dered kids. See my boots-woven, owing nothing to some poor murdered calf. See my buttons-wooden, not made of grisly bones. Inside and out side" so the quaint faddist concluded. "I am a vegetarian, and inside and outside get along without the murder of any creature-fsh, flesh or fowl There are many like me."-New York Press.

This argument is evidently intended to effect an excision of the ineligibil- ity of corporation stockholders, rt- torneys, etc.. for membership in the public utilities commission. It is ob- vious that if every patron of public utilities were also made ineligible, there would be few, if any, persons left from whom to appoint the members of the Commission. It is almost equally ob vious that if the provision excluding corporation tools were cut out of the measure, the Commission would, soon- CT or later, be controlled by the cor rorations and cease to be of value to the people.
 Furthermore, as the users of public utilities are the people, and as it is the people who grant privileges and charters to the public service corpora tions, such users should, by represen- tation in at least the majority of the Commission, be enabled to see to it that they are not inefficiently served or improperly charged.
 It might not be unWise to allow minority representation on the Com mission to the corporations.

"Siipper Alum Tea"

The sidewalk stand, soap box, was filtered with rolls of brown bark, to- bacco twists and withered switches tied with twine. The proprietor, a brown and shriveled old colored wo- man, sat on another box. A passing woman fingered to ask the old aunty the meaning of her wares.
 "Dese t'bacca twisses is for moffs, an de red oak bark is good for cuts, an de slipper alum chips is a cure for ole maids.'
 "You ought to make a fortune out of that, aunty. How does it work?'
 Huh, huh, chile, 4as as easy as a possum clim'in' a tree. You see, ole maid ladies is most in ginral lean an lonesome lookin, an slipper alum tea makes lem fat.s When dey gets fat dey gets chipperish. an some. genmun gwine come along an take 'miration to lem unless dey takes to drinkin' de tea too iate-huh, huh!"-New York Post.

Beauty and
 Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a Woman May Try to Make
 Them ax

It does not matter how beautiful a woman may be, if she is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pitied by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this statement let her make a point of asking a friend in whom she may confide, man friend or relative. If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of a woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal afflictfon.
 Foul breath arouses in man disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self-denial or req Soning can overcome the natural re- pugnance which comes to man when he is in company with such a woman.
 What is true of bad breath in wo- man is not true in so great degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incarnation of sweetness, breeding, virtue and refinement Foul breath will sicken a man so that he cannot feel for such a woman a companion ship necessary to make him desire to be in her company.
 There is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Charcoal. the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stol ,ach, will prevent this repugnant tendency or affliction.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in tremendous quantities all over America and Canada. They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath. A single box will convince you of this fact. One should eat some of these lozenges after each meal and upon re- tiring. You might eat fifty of them without harm. They are not medicine, but pure willow charcoal mixed with sweet honey to make them palatabIe and compressed into lozenge to pre- serve their peculiar and lasting strength.
 The next time you wish to go into company and don't want your foul breath to huniliate you, eat several of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your breath will be pure and sweet.
 Every druggist carries them, price 25 cents, or send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mirh

The Ansorlia Sentinel which supports Senator Brandegee for reelection brings serious charges against the Hill forces. It declares that they have not hesitated to resort to about all of the trickeries and some of the treacheries regardless of fairness; and the f1aying to which he has been subjected by some of the most prominent members of his party have been heartless if not interruptions. It is sincerely to be hoped that the members of the legisla- ture of 1909 will not permit themselves to be bulldozed in the manner which is being attempted.
 Treachery, trickery, interruptions f1aying, bulldozing, etc.,-surely such grave charges should be either supple mented with @ bill of particulars, or summarily withdrawn.

 SANITATION.

The measure recommended for en- actment by the special commission on public utilities, provides that mo stockholder. employe, agent or attorney of any company subject to the super vision of the Commission shall be member of said Commission To this provision the Hartford Courant takes exception, and cites in support of it's exception the fact 'that any man is eligible to the commission, as it is planned, who has all his business con- centrated where freight rates are it's vital element and asks, ''Why should he, with every interest liable to be op- posed to the railroads, have the right to pass Judgment on them, when a man who has an insignificant owner ship in a company that may get be- fore the court cannot be a member?'

As predicted by the Farmer, the House committee appointed to consid- CT the reflection upon the honor and integrity of Congressmen which ap- peared in President Roosevelts an- nual message, does not regard the spe- cial message as either an apology for or a withdrawal of that grave reflec- tion, but rather as a reiteration of it.
 The breach between the President and Congress seems to be widening, with a. growing resemblance to the similar breach which resulted in the attempted impeachment of President Johnson.

and Swamp Sumac, by Huntingdon; Old
Pewter, Brass and Copper, by Moore;

ism, published in Woodstock, in 1885.
The latter book would be especially in
terestng to any persons wishing to read

The Travelling Salesman.

The happy combination Of an audience
that lacked nothing in numbers or enthu-
sasm and most amusing play present
ed by company more informally good
than ST. Johnsbury often sees, made
The Travelling Salesman" at The Colo
NAL Friday evening quite theatrical
event. The genus travelling salesman is
so familiar to all, and his vices and
virtues so well known that Bob Blake
seemed like an old acquaintance at once.
All the little mannersms of his class and
many virtues and kind traits that
are peculiar to no one class but flow
from generous nature were united in
him and the audience resembled Beth
Elliott in being Swept of its feet" by his
pleasing personality. That the part
was we'll interpreted by Austin Webb
was evidenced by the enthusiasm of the
large number of travelling men in the
audience. Rosalind Coghlan as Beth
Elliott won the hearts of her hearers at
once by her lack of afectation, and
Harriet Sheldon made a capital Mrs.
Babbitt. Other parts that deserve
mention were Albert McGovern as
Franklin Royce and Dan Baker as Ted
Watts. The scenery and stage furnish
ings were complete and realistic and
taken as whole or in little details 1.-THE
Travelling Salesman was in every way
worth seeing and deserving OF the warm
welcome accorded it here.
