A LITTLE COLD.

He caught a little cold
That was all
So the neighbors sadly said,
AS they gathered round his bed,
When they heard that he was dead.
He caught little cold
That was all. (Puck)
Neglect OF cough or cold often
leads to serious trouble. To break up

any cough that is durable mix two
ounces Of Glycerine, a half-ounce Of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure Whisky. Take
teaspoonful every four hours. You can
buy these at any good drug store and
easily mix them in large bottle.

Lyceum Course Signed.

Kingstree will have a lyceunl
course this season. Messrs J D Gil
land and w M Tobias signed a
course a few days ago, which is
considered the best that has ever
been brought here. They signed it
after deliberation, for it will take
good houses to pay for it: but thel'
felt that it would be reflection on
a town the size Of Kingstree not to
have good course. 1t is TO b.
hoped that the people will appreci-
ciate their public spiritedness by
giving them their support. The
following attractions have been
signed: "Alkahest Ladies Quar-
tette," which gave such a splendid
performance here last season;
Rounds ladies' an aggregation
of ten young ladies and Prof
r. Inds, who are all brim full Of
good music; "Fisher-Shipp Co." a
mixed quartette; ''LaDell-FoX Co."
a mixed quartette; and Tom Car

on the Lyceum platform. There
will be no Saturday night attrac-
tons, as was the case several times
last year. The first entertainment
will be presented some time the last

SAVES sToMACHs FIRST.

There are churches in various parts
of the land whose pastors are breaking
away from conventional ideas and
parish traditions, and are doing work
which may be the pioneering of a great
new movement to come later" saws
Hampton's Magazine for February.
Many of these isolated cases are full
OF interest, as witness the instance CT
DR.. Edward NJ. Frank, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ad-
vent in Philadelphia.
1.-THE neighborhood of the Church Of
the Advent was at one time fashion
able, but the march of trade and the
growth of the city changed it from
residence to factory and a tenement
district. But Cor the fact that the
church had an endowment from the
estate of long-dead parishioner of
wealth, its doors would have been
closed years ago. When. in March
1908, DR.. Frank became rector. he
| preached his first sermon to an audi
ence Of eighteen. With the view of in
! creasing his congregation DIR. Frank
| made a thorough canvass of the neigh
| borhood. only to find that his parish
| was composed of people who were
| struggling with a problem far more
| serious than his. For their problem
was how to live decently on incomes
wholly inadequate for the purpose.
ut had been the intention of the
young rector to conduct church work
/ along lines that seemed adapted to the
needs Of the community and at once It
appeared to his practical mind that the
| most immediate need of that COM
munity was groceries, coal and other
plain necessities at low prices. In De-
cember, 1908, the rector opened a CO.
operative store, in which groceries, coal.
and articles of clothing were sold at
practically cost prices. Membership In
the cooperative venture means a fee of
only twenty-five cents, and today more
than two hundred dollars worth of
groceries is delivered each week to
members.

WALSH AND MORSE.

Within a few days now Charles w.
Morse, a one-time money king of New
York City and the east, and John r.
Walsh, an erstwhile equally prominen
financier of Chicago and the west,
have been clothed with convicts'
stripes. Both men were bankers as
well as promoters and stock manipu-
lators. Both carried on their finan-
ciering in such a reckless fashion that
the time came when they had to mis-
use the funds in the banks controlled
by them to keep their heads above
water. Neither of them could avert
the crashes that followed, even by dis
honest methods, and their punishment
for the crimes that they committed.
More important than the personal
punishment which is being inflicted
upon them, though, is the fact that
it will have a salutary effect and a
much needed one, in the banking
world. 1t is possibly true, as Morse
and Walsh have both contended, that
they have done nothing which has not
been done repeatedly by financiers of
their standing and methods. But such
practices as they were guilty of should
be punished sternly whenever they are
discovered. It may be unfortunate for
both Morse and Walsh that they were
caught in their dishonesty, but that
entities them to no sympathy If there
was the slightest scintilla of doubt as
to their criminal guilt the courts
would have protected them, for they
were defended by the cleverest law
yers that money could buy.
Their conviction and their imprison-
ment will be a plain lesson to bank
ers throughout the nation that they
must cleave to the straight and mar
row path in all of their transactions
It's an impressive lesson, too, for these
men were not of the minor class of
bank employees who filch a few hun
dreds or thousands from the tills like
common ordinary thief. It is this
latter class also that make up the Iarg-
est percentage of what is known as
the banker colony in the federal
prisons. Morse and Walsh were lead
ers in the financial worlds where they
played their games, and their convic-
lions and Imprisonment will go a long
ways to dfsabuse the idea which is
quite prevalent that individuals with
great means, with influential friends
a-plenty, are more or less immune

FRON OTHER PENS
THE CENSUS TAKERS.

From various parts of the country
come reports that there is a dearth of
good material for the positions of CEN
sus enumeratoFS. Everywhere there
are more applications than places, but
according to the complaints of the
state supervisors the average of eff
cheney on the part of those seeking APP
pointment is not high. This is hard
ly a matter of wonder. These places
are only temporary, offering employ
ment for a few weeks at modest
rate of pay. The work is not easy and
if conscientiously performed imposes
severe tax upon the enumerator- In
deed, this situation discloses the weak
ness of the decennial census system. To
a certain extent the fault has been
cured by the establishment of per-
manent census bureau, insuring the es-
adjustment of standards and the
maintenance of an efficient prepara-
tory process. But when the time comes
to count the people the actual work
must be done by enumerators chosen
from a virtually unemployed class,
among whom, in some localities, the
average of competency is low. Pos
sibIy a way can be found to overcome
this difficulty, though 1t is obvious that
the United States can not maintain a
permanent staff of enumerators Yet
upon the statistics gathered by the
census bureau depend large interests.
We are using our information regard
ing ourselves more fntelligently than
ever, and the statistics should be the
more carefully compiled for that rea-
son. In view of the important issue
now pending it is to be hoped that this
next census will be taken with greater
care than ever before and that no in
dictment can be brought against the
results.-Washingto Star.
