fort of the children. The splendid re-
Spouse of patrons and friends to our
call for contributions for school i'm
provement has made it possible to
have some blowing and leveling about
the High school done. Stationary
benches have been put about over the
| school grounds and a Webster's New
International Dictionary purchased for
use in the High school. To all who
made these improvements possible,
the teachers and pupils extend their
most sincere thanks.
The Daughters of the C~onfederacy
of the town have done we'll to keep
alive the memories Of the heros of the
sixties. The entrance OF the High
school building is large and would be
a most appropriate place for a mural
tablet. Here, two hundred children at
the most impressionable age, pass
back and forth daily. A tablet here
would perhaps do more to impress
their hearts and minds with the great
ness and sacredness of the Lost Cause
than possibly anything else that could
be done.
A medal offered to the High school
pupil who writes the best essay upon
the Confederacy or some theme relat-
ing to this subject would not be in
appropriate. The essay might be read
at the exercises on Memorial Day in
May.
It is a great pleasure to report a
fine spirit that exists among the
grades to excel.
The tenth grade pupils have organ
lied their class adopting a beautiful
pin with inlaid letters "a. II. s. and
"13," date of purple enamel. The class
colors are purple and gold. The Off
GERS are: President, Miss Ruth Syfan;
Secretary, Miss Margaret Williams;
Historian, Miss Birch Clinkscales;
Miss Cleo Duncan, Critic; Ernest
Gary, Poet; Miss Margaret Williams,
Prophet. The High school was visited
during the Baptist convention by sew
eral delegates. Among them being
Rev. Graves l.. Knight, Superintendent
of the Graniteville schools, where he
has taught for twenty years. Mr..
knight is perhaps one of the best
teachers and best posted school men
in the State. His talk to the school
at the morning assembly was interest
ing and very much enjoyed.

ALL MISERY, GAS And S0URhESS.

You know that most Of the ailments
named above come from an out Of or
der stomach; of course you do.
If your food doesn't digest, but lays
heavily on your stomach it has started
to ferment.
When it ferments it sets loose in the
stomach poisonous gases which irri-
tate the great nerve that leads direct
ly to the brain from the stomach.
That irritation causes heartburn,
dizziness, nightsweats, nervousness.

cry, or money back. A large box costs
only so cents and is sold by c. A. Mil

FAMOUS VIRGINIA "FAIRY"
OR LUCKY STONES" ON SALE.

The McMurray Drug Company now
have on sale a consignment of the IA
nous Virginia Lucky" stones, about
which there is a superstition that the
weaver will be protected from harm.
The legend of these stones runs some
what as follows:
"As to the real origin of these little
Crosses of stone, comparatively moth
ing is known, as the leading scientists
of the country have failed to throw
any satisfactory light on the subject;
but in that remote mountain section
runs a very pretty legend to the Ell
feet that hundreds of years before
King ~Powhatan's dynasty came into
power, long before the woods breathed
the gentle spirit of the lovely Poca-
hontas, the fairies were dancing
around a spring of limpid water, play
ing with the naiads and wood nymphs,
when an elfin messenger arrived from
a strange city far, far away IN the
land of the dawn, bringing the SAD
tidings of the death of Christ, and
when they heard the terrible story OF
the c%rucifxion they wept. And as their
tears fell upon the earth they were
c~rystalized into little pebbles, on each
of which was formed a beautiful cross.
When the fairies had disappeared
from this enchanted spot the ground
about the spring and the adjacent val
lev we're strewn with these unique
mementoes of that melancholy event"
