AS ENGLAND SEES US
TYPICAL AMERICAN NOT REa
FERRED TO FLATTERINGLX.
Truth Is, the American ls Of a Type
That the Old World Has Not Yet
Come to Understand, and So
Its Judgment Is at Fault.

The Americans as race walk better
than we-more freely, with a taking
swing, and almost with grace. How
much Of this is due to living in de-
mocracy, and how much to wearing no
braces, it is very dicult to determine.
But certainly it is the land Of belts.
and therefore Of more loosely moving
bodies.
Also, Americans take their coats OF,
which is sensible; and they can do
it the more beautifully because they
are belted and not braced. They take
their coats off everywhere and any
where, and somehow it strikes the Wis
itor as the most symbolic thing about
them. They have not yet thought OF
discarding collars; but they are unr
ashamedly shirt-sleeved.

ried out.
The American race seems to have
developed two classes, and only two,
the upper middle and the lower mid
die.
= Their faces are very distinct. The
upper-class head is long, often fine
about the forehead and eyes, and
very cleanly outlined. The eyes have
an odd, tired pathos in them-mixed
with the friendliness that Is 80 admir-
a51e-as If Of a. perpetual, never quite
successful, effort to understand some
thing.
It is like the face Of an only child
who has been brought up In the COM
pany of adults. But the mouth Of such
men is the most typical feature.
It is small, tight, and closed down
ward at the corners, the lower lip
very slightly protruding. It has very
little expression in it, and no curves.
There the Puritan comes out.
But no other nation has mouth
like this. It is shared to some e1-
tent by the lower classes, but their
mouths tend to the wider and more
expressive.
These, anyhow, are the types that
strike one in the eastern cities. And
there are intermediate varieties, as
Of the genial business man, with the
narrow forehead and the Wide,
smooth, lower face.
The women's faces are more In
determinate; not very feminine;
many of them wear those Invisible"
eyeglasses which center gltteringly
about the bridge OF the nose and get
from them curious air Of intelli-
gence.
Handsome people Of both sexes are
very common; beautiful and pretty
ones very rare.-Westminster Ga

Old Weir Utilized,

An ancient stone weir on the river
Dee, constructed by Hugh Lupus, ear!
Of Chester, between 1910 and 1101 Is
being utilized to supply the city Of
Chester with electricity, relates Lon
don Answers. The weir was original
ly erected to drive cornmills, and the
milling industry continued up to 1908
In 1910, however, Chester corporation
who had purchased the property, dis
mantled the mills. Mr.. 8. e. Br1tton
the city electrical engineer, then de
vised a scheme for converting the wa
ter power into electrical energy, and
it is believed that the annual saving
thus effected will repay the capital ex
penditure in five years. It Is estimated
that the installation will yield 1880,
900 units per annum at cost OF less
than ODD per unit, inclusive Of capital
charges.

colored Schools to Have Field Day Friday

Il has oeen announced in The Times
10 its recent issues that the colored
schools of the County are to have their
Field Day Celebration here Friday, and
from what we can learn quite number
of schools have arranged 10 Join in the
celebration. The celebration is to be
held in the CIark's Tobacco Ware
house, where booths will be ittingly
decorated for each school and where g
lunch counter will be had to serve hot
lunches to the crowd. The principal
speakers for the occasion is Prof. r.
Is. Wilkinson, president Of the negro
State College at Orangeburg.
This is TO be one of the most enthusi-
sstic educational meetings ever held
among colored people in this county.
and we believe, many colored people
will be here to take partin the display.
The principal of the local school,
Prof. I. NJ. A. Myers, has put forth
great efforts in advertising the meet
ing and making the necessary arrange
ments here. It is said that the State
college band will furnish music, and
that the street parade will be made up
at the colored graded school at y
O'Clock Friday. A special appeal has
been made to the colored population OF
the County, r. W. Westburry, U. S.
Farm Demonstrator is expected to at
tend.
The president of the State negro COL
lege at Orangeburg is an able speaker
and is highly respected by both races
in South Carolina and his excellent
work at the State college is to be COM
mended. That he is TO speak here
Friday, will attract many people who
otherwise may not want to sacrifice
time to attend. r. S. Wilkinson is
successor of Thos. E. Miller, who was
president OF the negro college for fifteen
years.
G. G. Garrett, professor of economics
in Allen University at Columbia, Will
also speak.

To Save Money.

Economy, rightly understood, re-
quires careful study and consistent
action. A knowledge of market prices
and money values are necessary for
an intelligent solution to the high
cost Of living. But such knowledge OF
itself does not suffice. Consistent ac-
ton is equally, If not more important.
The head and heart" Of a family must
be one In their efforts. They must
work In unison.

Lacrosse tho Red Mems Game,

Lacrosse is the national ball game
Of Canada. It came from the aborigi-
nal red men. who doubtless played it
for many centartes before the discov-
cry Of the new world. Different tribes
played it in different ways, and it was
usually very rough. The name was
given to it by the French Canadians,
who saw the resemblance between the
curved netted stick used In playing 1t
and bishops crozier or crosse.

There was recently a very strong
article appearing II the Christian OBJ
server on The Place and Claims of
the Christian College and we quote an
extract from 1t feeling sure that it
Will prove beneficial to our readers,
and the friends of Anderson College:
ut was no less man than the
Hon. James Bryce who said on his
return to England some years ago,
after visiting America for the first
time In thirty years, that of the two
or three significent changes he no.
ticed here, one was the progress and
enthusiasm shown in the wide field of
education. Everywhere he saw the
witnesses Of mighty movement. In
the universities enrolling their hun
dreds and their thousands! in colleges
with their increasing cndowments and
their broadening courses; in the tech
biological schools with their costly and
elaborate equipment; in the CORES
pondence schools with a student body
scattered through States and terrific
ries; in the night schools with their
deeply earnest classes; in the pro-
fessionai schools of every type and
grade; in the normal, schools. acode-
mics, church and private schools, and
in the great system of public schools
for all grades Of work from kinder
garter through the high school, in all
of this he recognized of the life OF our
land today.
1t needs no argument to show that
he was right. The figures alone are
eloquent. More than 81 100000 schol-
ars are enrolled in the schools Of the
United States, or more than one in five
ogf our population. and the numbers
are increasing. Nearly every State
is cutting down the percentage Of IL

miration OF the intricate structure of
man, but leaves out of view the Maker?
That which exhibits the trl OF the race,

REAL ESTATE DEAL

Another deal in Anderson real es-
tate which approximates $4,000 Is in
volved. went through Yesterday when
John w. Linley and T. s. Crayton
bought from the Anderson Real Es-
tate and Investment Company the mid :
die store room Of the G.. A. Reed
property. II Is understood that the
new owners of this property say that
they have bought the place because
they believe In Anderson real estate
and believe that 1t Is enhancing in
value every DAY. 1t Is not presumed
that they contemplate making any i'm
mediate disposition of the building.
This particular piece OF property
has just been liandled around from
dealer TO buyer recently, every real
estate man in town wanting to take
q hand In the buying or selling of the
property. And every time a new sale
has lieen made. the price has been in
creased. showing tha: values are on
the rise In Anderson. The property
was one year ago owned by C. a. Reed,
who sold 1t q few months ago to Geo.
w. Evana and II. r. King. They later
ydiaposed OF part of ititoaist C. McKfn-
ney, and he has Disposed OF part of
his share to Messrsf Linley and Cray
ton athroughltthe Anderson Real Es-
tate and Investment Company. L
