A Kansas farmer, so the story goes,
came into town to buy a new wagon.
The dealer made a price Of SO to
which the farmer objected, saying that
he had purchased the same style and
make of wagon many years before for
$50.
The dealer explained that the ad-
vance in the price was due to higher
cost of materials, ETC., but the farmer
was not convinced. After a lengthy
argument it developed that the farmer
ten years before had paid for the $50
wagon with 500 bushels Of corn; corn
at that time bringing ten cents per
bushel.
81 will tell you what I will do,'' said
the dealer. "You give. me 900 bushels
of corn for this $40 wagon and will
make you present Of the best reaper

War Between the Sections, in Sher-
mans ravages from land to sea.
All these circumstances circun-
scribed the progress of the church of
which they were the adherents. Their
ranks became depleted when their
Young men went out from the home
church to seek an advancement in life
and in almost every instance they
were lost, not by citizenship brt to
the training and inheritance OF the
mother church, yet not to forget to
adhere to her doctrines and ever tc
remember the value Of her glorious
history.
Education of People.
Prof. Derrick laid special emphasis
On the message of value which he
said the Lutheran church in South
Carolina had to deliver to the people
of the State. 1t is the same doctrine in
regard to the education Of the people
enunciated by Martin Luther 400 years
ago, and sounds just as modern now
as the most scientific training Of the
day. Lutherans believe and teach that
ignorance is an evil to be driven out
by the schools. 1t believes that edu-
cation stands above any other moral
obligation to the children in the hcme
and the citizen in the State, for edu-
cation Of the masses is the safeguard
ing of the stability AID sacredness
Of theShoMe-a home life made beau
tiful by love and faith and made
genuine also by humility. The love
of the Lutherans for education was
shown by the fact that a larger pro-
portion of students are in their COL
leges than any other denomination II
the State.
In analyzing the Teutonic character
which is the possession of the people
who mainly compose the Lutheran
church in the State, Prof. Derrick was
eloquent in portraying3 their freedom
from rank materialisnl All rational
ism, and their adherence t. the Bieie
as Gods infallible and never chang
ing word, and their supreme devotion
to the doctrines which they profess
was likewise inforced by the spsaAer.

VI IS strange that there should be so

coffee. If 1t is well prepared, can be

OF course there are many wonder
ful new tangled coffee pots with more
labor and time-saving devices. A good
cook can make coffee in any KIND OF
a saucepan. They make wonderful
coffee in the army. where the freshly
roasted coffee is put into a pail, ground

But since we are speaking OF pots
there IS one important thing which a

cause his utensils are cleaned by eX-

For that reason L do not care for

LARGE STRAWBERRY CROP

According to berry growers the crop oi
Strawberries on this Peninsula will be one
of the largest grown in recent years. A
few berries have been 10 market but the
main supply will not be on for ten days.
There is every indication of bountiful
crop this year. Last year the crop was
cut short by drouth and the berries, too,
we're of an inferior quality, many growers
losing money on their shipments. a num-
Der Of patches we're not picked over more
than once, the berries on them having
dried up before they could ripen. The
market was poor at the beginning of the
season and growers realized but little
from their early shipments. 1t is the
early berries that bring the fancy prices,
and when they fail it quite often works a
hardship on the growers, as they depend
largely on the shipments of the first week
to make good any losses which they may
sustain later in the season.
Reports received by the State Board Of
Agriculture as to the prospects of the
straw berry crop for tie present season,
indicates one of the largest crops for many
year.
While come varieties will be picked the
first Of next week, the season will not be
fully on until the week Of the 9th.
