WAITING at the Plate.

No team ever won u pennant that
was not a waiting team"-that Is. one
that could compel the opposing pitch
er TO put 'em over in the groove" 1t
does not necessarily follow that to be
a good waiting team" a team must
draw many free passes to first. The
object is not SO much to force the
pitcher TO serve four wide pitches as
to force him to use his full strength
and TO get him In the hole" which
In baseball means to force him into a
position where. to avoid giving n pass.
he must pitch the ball o;er the plate.
IL the count is two balls and no strikes
the batter Is morally certain the next
will be yer the plate. whether 1t is
straight or a curve. and he also knows
that In his anxiety to make certain
Of throwing the ball over the plate the
pitcher will not dare put as much on"
the ball as he would do II there were
two strikes and one or two balls called.
Therefore he is practically certain that
the next ball will be "A good one to hit.
and he will set himself" grab a toe
hold" and double his chances Of a base
hit.-Hugh 8. Fullerton In American

A COLLEGE

Agriculture is the foundation Of our
prosperity. A philosopher has likened
public prosperity TO a tree-"Agri-
culture is the roots, industry and com

If its roots suffer, the leaves fall, the
branches break, and the tree dies
The man that fits himself by study to
further the cause of agriculture Is en-
listed in II Of the greatest OF mans
endeavors on which rests the future
OF civilization.
Through the portals of our agricul-
tural colleges thousands Of farm boys
are trooping 20 the classroom, labora-
tory and shop, g%rasping as it were,
the heeting opportunity for self-de-
velopment. Some may think that for
farming. a college education is not
essential. They should consider that
successful farming today presents a
more complex and vastly more intri-
cate problem than most of the other
sciences. So true is this that 1t re

DueIs Over Trivialjties.

The %trivialities which led to duels
In the old days were almost infinite.
John Ashton mentions some Of them
In noting that by william Tvs time
public opinion was setting against the
practice. Colonel Montgomery was
shot In a duel about a dog. Captain
Ramsay in one about a servant. Mr..
Fetherston In one about a recruit.
Sterne's father In one about a goose
and some one else about IN acre OF
anchovies' instead Of '~artichokes.' One
officer was challenged for merely ask
ing his opponent to have another glass.
and another was compelled to fight
about a pinch Of snuff. while General
Barry vas challenged by a Captain
Smith for declining a glass OF wine
with him at dinner oil a steamboat, al
though the general had pleaded In ex-
cuse that wine invariably made him
sick at sea."-London Chronicle.

Residents Of Bookings Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains Of bad backs-from
distressing kidney ills-thousands
have politically recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills. Residents of Brookings
who so testified years ago, now say
their cures were permanent. This
testimony doubly proves the worth Of
Doan's Kidney Pills to Brookings kid
ney sufferers.
Mrs. Adelbert GlidLen, $40 N. Main
ST.. Brookings. s. Oak, says: Since
publicly endorsing Doan's Kidney
Pills three years ago I have had no
further attacks Of kidney trouble and
in return for this permanent cure, I
take pleasure In again recommending
this remedy. The principal symptom
Of my kidney complaint was pain In
my back and hips. Doan's Kidney
Pills had previously effected a cure
in a similar cas- in my family and

The Miohty Hsrrino,

Few Of us realize the ~vastness Of
the herring industry. yet IT IL highly
important in many places. including
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. Quebec.
British Columbia, Newfoundland. Eng
land. Scotland. Wales, Ireland. Nor
way. Sweden. Denmark. Russia. Ger
many. Holland. Belgium. France. ia
pan and Siberia. SO long ago as 1920
some 1000 OF the principal gentlemen
Of Scotland formed a company for
herring fishing. but were quickly dis
rupted, leaving a mournful lot Of stock
holders. Thirty years later the Prince
Of Wales became president or governor
Of a herring fishery, with a capital Of
100000. Efforts were made to learn
the secrets Of the Dutch methods Of
curing behring's. but the company soon
collapsed. The spawning and feeding
grounds Of behring's have determined
the location OF cities, and in several
instances the actual destiny Of nations
and the fate Of monarchs appear to
have been involved In the herring fish

SoIvino the Old Problem,

When Sir Thomas Upton was a small
boy in Scotland he dropped into q
church one Sunday morning and was
put by himself In a pew directly In
front Of the minister, who preached a
sermon on the text Am my brothers
keeperT
The parson. who was unusually elo-
quent. talked on this theme for about
forty minutes and finally worked up to
the climax Of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little Lip
ton, who began to fdget and look very
self conscious. At last. after an over
whelming %outpouring Of long words.
the minister. his eyes blazing, made a
quick gesture and shouted ut the boy:

The Pepper Wins.

The pepper vine grows best In a
wooded valley where there Is plenty of
moisture and abundant foliage to pro-
tect 1t from the heat Of the sun. 1t Is
given a rude sort Of cultivation. The
growers plant It, keeping the grass
from its roots. and when the tree near
which 1t is planted has no lower
branches strings or poles are placed in
proper position to enable the vine to
climb the tree. 1t needs nc further at
tention.

The GaiIows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists.
or old 'herbalists," gave currency to
many curious stories concerning the
growth, form. etc. Of the mandrake or
May apple. which finally resulted In its
being given the name OF 'gallows
plant" The pseudo scientists OF that
time declared that mandrakes would
grow In no other place except upon
which some terrible crime had been
committed. The roots were formerly
supposed TO zeal a strong resemblance
to the human form.

Seneca, April 16.-Special: Rus
kin Anderson Is packing his large
stock of merchandise preparatory to
moving his business to Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson has been for ten years,
or longer, prominently identified
with business circles here, and his
departure will be felt, as Seneca can
Ill afford the loss Of such business
men. His large department store
has been one Of the most attractive
establishments In the place, and its
removal will be felt in the business
life of the town. Mr.. Anderson is a
hustling business man, and we wish
him success in his removal to the
Electric City.
Seneca High School was well rep
resented at the track meet and ora
torical contest in Greenville Satur-
day. On account of the enforcement
Of the age limit, two OF Seneca's
team were barred, but we are proud
OF the record made. Wilkes Dendy,
the contestant from Seneca for the
Piedmont oratorical medal, won cas-
ily and Seneca has also the cup for
the next year. The public is already
familiar with the details Of the meet,
SO we will only add the following,
