''I'm going over to comfort Mrs.
Brown" said Mrs Jackson to her
daughter, Mary, "Mr. Brown hang
ed himself in their attic last night
Oh, mother, don't go You
know you always say the wrong
thing"
"Yes, I'm going, Mary, I'll just
talk about the weather. That's a
safe enough subject"
Mrs. Jackson went over on hel
visit of coincidence. We have
had rainy weather lately, haven't
we. Mrs. Brown?" she said.
YES replied the widow; u

"Oh," said Mrs. Jackson, u
shouldn't think you would have any

Bussey-klumphries.

The marriage of Mr.. Ray Hum
phries, of Union, and Miss Lille
May Bussey will occur at noon to-
day at the home of the BRIDES pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. V. Bussey,
of Modoc. Both of these young
people are graduates of the S. G. G.
I. and made many warm personal
friends while among us as students:
Mr.. Humphries was member of
the class of 1908 and soon after
graduating was elected superinten-
dent of education of Union county.
He is a young man of sterling traits
of character, and his ambition and
energy, together with his natural
ability, make the outlook for his
public career very bright one.
The accomplished bride is a
daughter that Edgefeld gives to
Union with great reluctance. She
too graduated from the S. G. G.
l. last year and has been teaching at
Jonesville, Union county, during
the past session. She is a young
woman of unusual qualities of mind
and heart, whose removal to Union
is a distinct gain for that progress
sive town. The Advertiser extends
Leartest congratulations to these
young friends.

Tag Tax Receipts Increase.

Columbia, May 2s.-The fertili-
zer movement, as shown by the tag
tax receipts, will aggregate $780,
900 in receipts at the Treasurer's
Office or about $4,000 more than
slast,years $ receipts on the basis Of
.25 cents per!ton.
sEhe1 AZ tax ceiEed ta date rs
s2IL0 L0e as3 Q, which b lis sa 4, ,545.9l
more stfan ia the corresp dino date
last year. The figures foriast year
to March 29 were Sic, ,4e4.12.
The total for the last fiscal year
G9o3) in tag tax receipts was
s2O2,7 ,74l.3l.
From May % last year to the end
of the fiscal year the receipts were,
therefore, s93,237.ls.
1t is considered very probable
that this years receipts, from now
until the end of the fiscal year, will
equal, if not exceed, last years re-
ceipts for the corresponding period
by adding last years. After May re-
ceipts it will be seen that this years
will probably reach the $4,000
mark.
As the tag tax is 25 cents per ton,
the amount turned in to the Treas
urer's office represents nearly 75O,-
900 tons.
"In my opinion. said to-day Judge
J. Fuller Lyon, who handles the
fertilizer tax in the Office of the
State Treasurer, the reason for the
increase in the fertilizer sales, as
shown by the tag tax, is that the
farmer in South Carolina is now
using more fertilizer for the small
crops, that is the grain crops, corn
and so forth. l have noted a gen.
eral disposition to increase the fer.
tilizer used on the early fall crops"

BOB JONES.
TRe Slayer of. the Three Press
leys VIII Not be Released
Until Sefsenber
18ths9

Bob Jones will not leave the
State penitentiary before Septem,
ber ls unless he is pardoned or pa.
rolled by Gov. AnseI..
D. ], Griffith, the superintendent
of the penitentiary, thinks that
jones' sentence did not expire until
that time.
Bob Jones was convicted for the
murder of the three Pressleys in
Edgefeld county and has been at
the State penitentiary for over 30
years.
There is a rule at the penitentia-
ry allowing prisoner one month
off for each year of sentence during
good behavior. Jones was sentenc-
ed to serve 25 years in the peniten-
tiary. The trial Judge deducted
the four years from the sentence
which Jones spent in the Edgefeld
county jail during the trials and
the subsequent appeals to the SUI
preme court.
1t was the contention of Bob
Jones that he would leave the peni-
tentiary on May 1s and that the
one month that he is entitled to- be-
cause of good behavior would be
deducted for each of the four years
spent in the Edgefeld jail. Super
intendent Griffith has taken diff
ferent view of the situation and has
concluded that the month should
not be deducted from the Edge
field term as Jones was not at that
time prisoner at the peniten-
tiary.
Bob Jones was disappointed when
he found that he would not leave
the prison on May Is. Prepara-
tions had been. made for his recep-
tion :. in Augusta. Upon leaving
prison he will settle near the little
town of Harlem in Richmond coun-
ty.-The State.

Not IF She Knew 1t.

The lady from South Carolina ar
rived in New York one summer a
few years ago on the very day on
which the Sunday-school Union
gave its big picnic. The ferry house
on the New York side was crowded
to overhowing with teachers and
children and parents, and Miss
South Carolina grew quite confused
in the confusion. As she tried to
push her way through the chatter
ing throng a young Sunday. school
teacher, meaning to be kind and
sociable, caught her by the sleeve
and said sweetly:
You belong to the union, don't
you?"
Miss S. G. unconsciously stiffcncd
and drew herself up. >.
No." she replied, proudly, Il am

CURE FOR LOSS OF MEMORY.

Nothing disgusts me more" said a
woman who goes abroad every sum-
mer, to a New York Sun reporter,
than to meet in Europe Americans
who seem to be ashamed of their own
language. l have often come across
them, but woman / met in Carlsbad
last year took the palm.
"She was introduced to me as the
Countess Comoffsky, or some name
that sounded like that. She married
a Russian or Pole about three years
before, and so far as I can gather,
she had hardly been any nearer Eur
ope than a New York table d'hote be-
fore that time. She looked American,
but her English was all broken up,
She did not even say the but pro
nounced it re She had great Difficult
ty in recollecting phrases, and the re-
suit at times was lot of French.
Next morning l was breakfasting
in the Kaiserpark with a party of
shawl wrapped Americans who had
drunk the requisite numDer of glasses
from the Sprudel or the Marktbrun-
men and had walked cut according to
prescription. One OF those at the ia
BILE was a New York physician who is
none the less popular because he is
frank in speech almost to brutality

ROLLING A BARREL
ROUND THE WORLD

Two Venetians, zanardi Ottilo and
Vianello Eugen. have undertaken a
trip around the world, during which
they intend to visit every country, and
have pledged themselves not to enter
"a dwelling house during that time.
They carry barrel containing a
stove and all the implements they
need. This barrel serves them as
shelter and they are according to the
terms Of the wager they are said to
have made, compelled to trundle this
barrel before them during the whole
trip.
, The barrel is made of stout oak and
reinforced with iron hoops. 1t will of
course have to be replaced several
times during the trip, for the two Ital-
ians expect to be twelve years on their
Journey.
If they succeed in their undertaking
they are oreceive 100000. ($3O,OOO).
They started from Venice on July
100, 1900, and have so far traversed
Switzerland France. England, Bel
GUM, and Holland, arriving in Berlin
on May IS, 1910. AS companions they
took along two dogs which however
succumbed to the exertions of the
trip. They were replaced in Switzer
land by st. Bernard puppy, which is
placed in the barrel if tired in order
to withstand the strain of the odd way
Of travelling. The puppy serves as
companion, and is expected to afford
protection after it has grown up.
So far the two travellers have cover
ed 3,4O0 miles in ten months, and by
way of Siberia to Japan and China
They are certain of winning theil
wager by visiting every known coun
try of the earth within the prescribed
thine of twelve years.

She is missing some of the greater

out by the weight of your virtues.
There are many such virtues, all
essential, but they should be unob-

to preform in life, but they need to
be kept in their place. To give them
undue prominence is showing as poor

them is satisfaction to herself and

Certain virtues are essential to
pleasant world. Sitting down from
the large to the small, certain virtues
are necessary to happy and we'll
ordered home, certain ones to the in
dividual life, If it is to be useful and
of good repute. But it is not neces-
sary to thrust these virtues down
peoples threats, as it were, to give
them such prominence that they shut
out all other pleasant things of life.
A woman whose home has hard.
wood floors has every floor in the
house scrubbed every day. When her
husband comes home, he is handed a
damp cloth to wipe off his shoes be-
fore he can enter the sacred precincts
of this spotless house; the children
must take off their shoes before en-
itering it. One would like to hear the
private opinion of that husband and
those children on cleanliness. Clean
illness is no doubt virtue, but it
should be an unobtrusive virtue. A
clean, neat home is essential to hap
piness, but the maintaining of clean
illness should not make every one un-
comfortable, or it defeats the very
purpose of it's being.
Being useful is a worthy ambition
in life. But one can be too everlast-
ingly useful. The woman who is so
useful that she never has a minute
