Friday, January 7, 1910.

The Spartanburg Herald says it will
be great achievement if the men-
bers of the Legislature from chat
county can make the term Of the
county superintendent Of education
four years. It will be very easy
Some four years ago a general law
was passed making the term four
years, but a half dozen counties
were excepted from its provisions
and we presume Spartanburg was
one. It is an important office and
there should not be too frequen:
ehange-when you get a competen;
man.

Her Self Restraint.

Ellen stopped serubbing the We

admiring eye on her employers gar
den. "Sure they are fine posies ye
have, doetor,'' she said. ''I've q
neat little house I bought with the
money I'd put by, and an elegant
garden it had last year, too, but now
there's neither stick nor stalk in it,
'What. was it, hens or dogs?''
asked the doctor, sympabhetically
mentioning his own aversions.
"Sure me neighbor- luck to
her! had ditch dug in her land, and
the water ran down into me garden,
and washed all me seeds away?"
"And what did you do about it?''
: '"What could a poor lone body
like me do9" -
'fWell, didn't you at least say
something to the woman, complain
or tell her that you wouldn't stand
for?'' g.. -...:.... =. -,
zENow, doctor, dear, hard words
just leads to bad feelings among
neighbors, and ye. know as well as I.
do; and it's not me that would be
using them. So I only said to her,
I hope I'll live to see the foods
flowing over your grave as your
ditch waters have flowed over me
garden and I let it go at that. .
