MCRE ABOUT THE

raj course ought TO be adopted IN our
Batesburg school, where now it is
aided by the state government and
assures in it high school course,
and then we would have the same
means of studying agriculture, DO
mestic science and manual training
courses, whose object is to prepare
boys and girls not only for college
and for life. The boys and girls
ought to be taught more about their
native soil, their gardens. lawn, COWS.
corn and what the dormant soil has
in store for them. If they farm it
should pay them to do SO, If the
girls keep house they should like it
rather than despise. We should be
taught to make effort pay whatever
we do. And as said this state was
largely agricultural, this feature
ought to be.emphasized and impress

this avocation and now it is not
done.

You will pay teachers as you have
been paying heretofore except the
agricultural demonstrator and erto-
no!ogist, that the government will
furnish. The entomologist now To-
Gated at Batesourg with his demon
stration work is not paid by the
Batesburg school or people. He was
sent here upon request and if the
proper means is exercised the SCI

can be procured without cost to our

Turkeys fin the Straw.

If we had the power to add to the Ten Commandments, we would in sert "Be Charitable" A kind word now and then does more than turn away wrath. A kind word is en- couraging to the struggling one. Un- charitabless is the offspring of jeal- ousy and seriousness. These sug- gestions were brought about by the insinuation, some weeks ago, that Dr. Dooley, who claimed to have killed turkey, and brought it home in sack, that the sack contained nothing but rabbits. The week fol- lowing Senator Frank DeRositt, came in with big gobbler over his shoul- ders, and the envious ones were de- tered from saying that he bought it by threats of violence from the Senator.
 Last Saturday MesSrs. Orrin Win ford, Bud McCrary and Henry Nc Daniel, came in on the evening train, Orrin having magnificent bronze turkey slung over his shoulder. En- vious and jealous eyes were upon him as he paraded the streets, with the two "Buds" following close in his wake, finally winding up in w. P. Evans cash store, where the three separated. The concensus of opinion among the envious ones, was that the turkey was purchased, and neither one of them having funds enough to purchase the turkey outright, Win ford worked the Mutt and JefT'' racket on the other two. As posses sion is nine points in law, and Orrin being in possession, we believe he kill ed the gobbler. Anyhow, it was a magnificent bird, and weighed IT. pounds. Bud and Henry are silent on the subject.

pany. pointed out that the court had
only power 10 revoke license where
conferred by law. adding that only
the reasons assignee in the Byrd bill
were sufficient in law. Judge Kelly
quickly took the position that the
matter is discretionary with the court
and that the judge can arbitrarily re-
woke license under a general statute
OF the State. In other words. his
construction Of the law seemed TO DO
that the saloons held their license
during the pleasure Of tho Judge and
that the court could revoke them for
cause that he deemed sufficient.
In granting licenses Judge Kelly re-
quired applicants to enter into an
agreement before he would consider
their application. This agreement
expressly prohibits the saloons from
having any entrance for customers
or any exit other than the front door.
1t provides against tables. chairs. free
lunches, lounging rooms. loafing. etc.
and that there shall be no doors con-
Meeting with rooms or another place

not required Of an applicant In law.

of Colonel Sellers in that book has
become immortal, and it is a charac-

that were his own. The tendency to
make millions was always imminent;
temptation was always hard to resist.
Money schemes are continu-

Twain to the day Of his death found
such schemes fatally attractive.
ii was because of the Sellers char
