A GREAT ORATOR.
Where the "Holler" Was More I'M
pressive Than the Words.

pressive Than the Words.
The appeal that a fine flow of oratory
will make to men and women was
amusingly exempliied one night at a
meeting in West Philadelphia, says a
Philadelphia paper. A noted speaker
was appealing to a gathering to give
funds toward the work of cleaning the
slums, making life healthy and happy
for the poor and other utopian schemes
of men and women whose hearts throb
with longing to help their kind.
For half an hour he drew pictures
Of the conditions; then with expressive
gestures ID his voice throbbing with
enthusiasm he poured out a flow Of
rhetoric.
Our duty, u flag, our country"
dotted the speech with italics. The
audience shouted and cheered. and the
women wept, while a storm of ap-
plause swept the room when the
speech was owe
That's going some, eh?" said oDe
man to another in the cloakroom later.
Zine sentiments, real feeling-great,

Pm so deaf" spoke up another,
with disappointment in his voice, that
1 couldn't hear. What did he sayP'
"Say-sayl" stammered the others,
looking into each others faces. "Why
-he-he-er-hanged if I know" And
to this day they don't know. 1t was
only the ''holler' that got them. not
the words.
This is. however. what makes the
orator.

A Strange Method Of saiutation.

OF all the strange modes of saluta-
ton the most extraordinary is the
dance of ceremony current in the
west African kingdom of Dahomey.
Whenever any Dahoman chief or off,
cial of rank comes to pay you a visit
he always opens the interview by
dancing around you with various queer
contortions Extremely suggestive of
his having just upset a Z kettle of boil
ing water over his knees, which you
are bound to initiate as closely as pos
sible. 1t is even reported that n Of
the native ministers of the terrible
King Gezu owed his rapid rise at the
Dahoman court wholly to his Superior
skill in cutting these strange capers
and that he thus literally as well as
iguratively jumped to preferment.

A Real Tow TeIenhone.

Obtain two empty COCOA tins, take
the lids off and bore a hole through
the bottom Of each tin. Now take a
piece Of thick string long enough to
through each hole and knot it. Ii one
holds one tin to the ear and some one
whispers into the other tin from as
far away as the string goes he can
be heard quite clearly. like a real tele-
phone.

which has been known to weigh 1000
pounds. These sea creatures live to a
great age. They cannot be kept alive
in captivity, a fact that was proved
some time ago. when one of them was
received at the New York aquarium.
This animal weighed S06 pounds and
lived only twenty-five days. which was

Communicated
Mr.. EIlToR:

~ t1ORs
As th,re seems to be a mistaken idea
in the minds of the people of Holly
Beach n regard to certain matters
pertaining to the public schools we
deem / a duty which we owe to the
public IS well as to ourselves to make
a plain statement of facts as to several
conditions.
Fouryears ago it was decided by the
Board If Education that the principal
could not properly supervise the work
of the schools and attend to the regular
class rom work, although there were
but six teachers employed. A super
vising principal was engaged who de-
voted me-half of his time to the super
vision of our school. Even this ar
~rangement was not satisfactory and it
was unanimously decided by the Board
of Education that a man should be
employed to devote his entire time to
the supervision of the school, although
no high school work was being done
here atthat time.
The Supervisors salary should not
be charged against the high school, as
that is an independent account relating
to the whole school. There are no
pupils in view for the fourth year high
school work and no extra teacher has
been considered.
The County Superintendent appor-
tions from State funds $500 for each
teacher in a registered three year high
school, and the money received on at
tendance last year amounted to 121
cents per day per pupil. If the high
school work be abandoned the district
would save the salary of two teachers
at $40 per month for nine and one-half
months, or 81 $3.50. On the other hand
the district would lose the State ap-
portionment on two teachers at $500
each, or 5000; also the attendance APP
~portionment on possibly twenty pupils,
$50 days each at 12a cents per day, OF
$3.50, making a total loss to the district
of $1,000, leaving an apparent saving
of $3.50. Compare this amount with
the additional cost of transportation
and tuition of twenty pupils to Wild
wood, Court House, Millville or Vine
land as suggested and we find that it
is actually to the taxpayers interest to
maintain our own high school to say
nothing of the inconvenience and dam
ger of sending our children away from
home and the loss of adequate school
facilities to the district.
AS to the report that the Supervisor
is not the type of a man for the posi-
ton and that he is lacking in tact and
ungentlemanly in manner, we desire
to say that no teacher has ever COM
planned to the Board of Education rela-
tive to the conduct of the Supervisor
and that the charges made against him
are nnwarranted and unjusti6able.

The Crescents and Big Five, two
local teams, played a game of basket
ball last Friday night in the ocean pier
ball room. None of the players have
played for some time, so were not in
very good shape, but the game interes-
ted and greatly amused the audience.
Dancing followed the game. Follow
ing is the line up:
Cresecents Big Five
Miller Forward Banks
Hogan Forward Clark
Nuneviller Center Taylor
Hewitt Guard Riley
buckingham Guard Wise
The first half stood 8 to 8 and the
final score was 26 to q in favor of the
Crescents. All were local players and
there is good material for a first class
team which there is talk of organizing
next fall and if this is done and the
public will patronize them some good
sport can be looked for.

AT 1.15 a. III. yesterday the bins and
store-room at the Hawesville Elevator
collapsed, and $4,000 bushels of wheat
went down in the wreckage. The noise
of the disaster was heard very generally
all over town, and Superintendent Bent
ley was aroused and went to the scene.
As soon as help could be attained he
set force of workmen to cleaning up
the wreck and attempting to save the
grain. Assistance was difficult to OBJ
tain, and the work is progressing slowly.
Having no available store room, the
wheat is reing loaded in cars and will
be forced on the market.
There was also / 200 bushels of corn,
some oats and many empty bags IN the
building.
Just what caused the wreck is not
known. While there was insurance on
the building and contents, it was uot of
the nature to cover this kind of mishap.
Asked as to whether or not he would

know; but we will have to have storage

the cakes, nor thirst touch the wines.
Another most satisfactory exhibit was
found in the agricultural hall, where
the choice farm and garden growths
and poultry yard products were given
advantageous arrangement These ex-
hibits were unusually good.
