His Narrow Escape.

After is years work as a medical
missionary In Labrador. DR., Wilfred
Grenfell has been spending a short
holiday at Parkgate, Cheshire. He
has had several adventures. The
most exciting was when an iceberg
broke adrift and carried him out to
sea with few dogs. No help was at
hand, and the only chance of rescue
was from a passing steamer. For
tunately he had little food, but this
was too precious to give to the dogs,
and 1t was necessary to kill one so
that the others would not starye. The
cold became so intense that two other
dogs had to be killed and their skins
used for warmth. The berg then
drifted into shipping route, and DR.,
Grenfell was rescued in the nick Of
time by a steamer.

One of the earliest lessons a child
has to learn is obedience. When once
child is taught to obey, all other
good habits come comparatively easy,
but 1t should also be taught to obey
with the conscience so that the In.
stinct of obedience prevails even
when ones back is turned; that is to
say, the habit of obedience must not
be acquired by fear or as an irksome
duty, but must gain strength from
the child's sense of honor and respect.
and must be encouraged as source
of pleasure and wholesome pride un.
til 1t becomes a part of the character.

We have no sympathy with the
fogyism of President Lowell, Of Har-
ward, displayed in his war against the
college yell, but, in the spirit of deep
est humility, realizing the density of
our ignorance, We would like to ask
Newberry college the meaning OF
'Razoo, razoo, boys get your bazoo," "
which highly euphonious eNhortation
occurs in the Newberry yell. We
have a suggestion to make, also: Sup
pose the last "o", in the first two
words should get changed to an ''r, -
and the double "o'' and the 'a' in the
last word should decide to exchange
places; wouldn't the resulting COM
mand be awful! It has very much that
sound, anyway. But evil is only to
him who evil thinks, and therefore
there is no use to spoil a delightful
and nerve-resting yell by SO slight a
change.

which has consumed great deal OF

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
Worth About One-Fifth as Much as
The Cotton Crop.
Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.
The farmers of the South will re-
ceive this year for the seed from their
cotton approximately S165,OO0,O0O, at
least one-ffth as much ais they will
receive from the feecy staple itself.
Within the memory of men still COM
paratively young the seed from the
entire cotton crop, with the excep-
ton of the few saved for planting the
next crop, were regarded as a bother
and nuisance and we're used to fill
gullies or thrown into waste places.
Later in their raw state they were
used for fertilizer and even few
years ago when cotton seed crushing
had got fairly good start 20 cents
a. bushel was regarded as an excel
lent price and the returns were re-
garded as "velvet" by the farmers.
The seed this year is selling for 40

A venerable, white-haired person
received month or so ago several re-
quests from young women for lock
of his hair. The divine, pleased al
this expression Of respect, gladly
Complied with the requests.
It was not long, however, before his
wife received a communication that
put an end to her husbands pleasant
delusion. The note was as follows:
Dear Mrs. - Do please ask your
husband to send me just little lock
of his hair. All the girls have been
taking lessons in making heir flowers
So many of the girls have asked him
that I thought I'd rather address you.
Will you be so kind? It's hard to get
white hair for lilies Of the valley.

One on the Judge.
New York Herald.

New 1OI Il 1lS1d1O.
The lawyer for the prosecution had
finished his closing argument and the
Judge, a pompous and long winded
individual was charging the jury.
He was in the midst of an unusual
ly long and tedious address when he
suddenly noticed that one Of the jury
men had fallen fast asleep. The in
dignation of his honor was boundless.
Rapping sharply on his desk, he awak-
ened the slum5erer, who seemed not
at all abashed at being thus caught
mapping. After glaring at him angr1-
ly for a few moments the magistrate
in his most sarcastic tone said:
$50 that's the way you attend to
your duty, it is? You're fine speci-
men to have on a jury. Do you think
your opinion will be of any value when
I send you out to determine the fate
this prisoner?'',
Eyes, SIR said the juryman quiet
1y; "I think so.'
"Oh, you do, do you?" shouted the
exasperated Judge. "Pray tell me, sir,
how long you have been sleeping"
s'I don't know, your honor" was the
reply. "How long have you been talk
ing?"

We hope city council will soon give
some attention to the crossings at the
union depot. During the recent rains
the Johnstone street crossing was al
most impossible, and the Friend
street crossing was about as bad. The
Main street crossing was very little
better. People coming into Newberry
will get a very bad opinion of the town
before they get away from the depot,
with the crossings as they are, not to
mention the fact that something is due
TO the people who live here, and most
of whom have to use these crossings
frequently.

Mayor Maddox, of Atlanta, who re-
Gently retired from Office, gave full
credit to the Atlanta newspapers for
their part in the city's development.
1t is refreshing to see credit given the
press in the graceful manner in which
it was given by Mayor Maddox. He
said, among other things:
t'It would be impossible to give a
resume Of the progress and prosper
ity of our city without giving due cred
it to the part played in our advance
ment by the loyal and powerful press
Of Atlanta.
"Our newspapers have given their
hearty support to every worthy move
ment, and besides making large cash
subscriptions to semi-civic enterpris-
es, they have donated hundreds and
thousands of dollars Of their valuable
space in advertising this city through
out the Union.
81 believe it can be truthfully stat
ed that the development of Atlanta in
the past few years, and its standing at
present both at home and abroad is
more largely due to the splendid CO.
operation of our press than to any 9th
er cause.
"The editors of these papers have
not hesitated to criticise the actions
of our officials when they felt that
they were wrong, nor have they been
slow to commend when they deemed
our actions worthy

Carolina, now that the legislature OF
that State is in session. On Wednes-

the legislature ratInes the constltu-
tional amendment voted by the peo-
pie, as it is presumed it will. There
is also a successor to be chosen to
the late Judge Charles G. Dantzlel, of
the First circuit, and the term of
Judge George W. Gage, of the Sixth
circuit, expires, and his successor VII
be named. No opposition has been
mentioned so far to Judge Gage.
The work of the legislature could
be narrowed down to small compass
if only the really important matters
should receive consideration. There
are, however, always a great numbe
of bills introduced, most of which are
killed in one way or another or die a
natural death on the calendar. A
great deal Of time Is always consum-
ed uselessly, and too frequently the
most important measures are rushed
through in the closing hours of the
session. As matter Of fact, there is
too much important legislation by
conference and free conference COM
mittees in the confusion attending the
closing hours of the session, when re-
ports are adopted in the time it takes
for the gavel to fall, many of the
members not having the opportunity to
see the purport of the bills and
amendments and conference reports
finding their way to the statute books.
