The Church.

According to the London Telegraph.
the Bishop of London, speaking at the
Mansion House, said that many people
nowadays had a false idea of the
church. "The popular idea was that
you had only to put threepence in the
slot, or rather in the offertory, and
you got a handsome vicar, two good
looking curates and a peal of bells"

To Much Honor

William Collier, the actor, has
a twelve-year-ol son and
country home at St. James, on
Long Island. One day in the
spring the youngster came to
him and said that he had Just
been elected captain-manager of
his ball club, and in view of the
honor conferred upon him he
desired to show his appreciation
in a substantial manner. He
thought it would be rather
graceful thing if he presented his
teammates with a tent under
which they might hold their
business sessions and map out
campaigns against the rival mines
of the neighborhood.
So Collier, Sr., donated the
tent and table and dozen
camp chairs for furnishings, and
provided a site for it on his lawn.
After the canvas had been pitch
ed and the boys had assembled
therein the donor slipped down
to the back of the tent and hid
there with his eye at crack in
order to hear and see how the
boys conducted their meeting,
He arrived just in time to hear
his son say:

Why the Full Name Must be on
the Club Roll

John Roy Smith went to the
secretary to enroll his name as a
member of the HardScrabble
club. With pen in hand he wrote
with flourish, 81. r. Smith,"
You must write your full
name. Mr.. Smith," kindly sug-
gested the secretary.
What for?" inquired Mr..
Smith. That's the name I 20
by; everybody knows me by that
name. What's the use of all
that?"
"The rules say So" repl ed the
secretary politely.
Being somewhat mollified by
the kindness and good sense of
the secretary, Mr.. Smith took up
the pen again and wrote, John
R. Smith,"
THAT isn't right yet" Mr..
Smith, said the secretary. "The
rules say you must sign your full
name.
"----," said Mr.. Smith,
as he glared at the secretary.
What you want me to sign my
full name for?"
"r don't want you to sign any
thing" promptly responded the
long suffering secretary, begin
ming to lose his patience in los
ing so much time with Mr..
Smiths signing; "but the rules
require it. l presume there is
good reason for it. Anyway my
duty is to get every man to en-
roll correctly so that he can vote
in the primary"
AS Mr.. Smith wanted to be
quite sure of his right to vote at
the primary, he decided to take
no chances; so he took up the
pen the third time and wrote
John Roy Smith," and departed.

Overheated Horses and Mules.

Quite number of horses and
mules have been overheated
during the past week or two of
hot weather. This as a rule is
prevented by proper care and
feeding.
All work stock should be in a
cool stable at night SO that they
can throughly cool off once in
"A hours Water at least five
times a day, and do not feed
large rations of new crop oats.
This is one of the most COM
mon causes of horses and mules
getting overheated. No animal
can stand work with a full stom-
ach of almost green food on a
hot day. And while old oats is
the one perfect food it is also just
as true that new oats is the cause
of more cases of indigestion and
overheating than almost any
other feed. and once a horse or
mule is injured it is easier to go
wrong ever after.
Therefore, first, avoid feeding
new crop oats in large quantities;
second, do not keep horses in hot
stables at night; third, water five
times a day and your horses and
mules can work steadily and
comfortably during the hot days
of summer.

Summer School For Teachers
To Open June 22nd.

Columbia Record.
The State Summer school for
high school teachers to be held
at University of South Carolina
will open June d Prof. w. H.
Hand, State high school inspec-
tor, who is executive secretary
of the summer school said this
morning that applications for
admittance to the school were
pouring in and that he expected
a capacity attendance. The
school will end July IL.
The object of the summer
school is to train high school
teachers in the organization and
and management of high school
and to give them increased
instruction in the subjects now
taught there. The high schools
of the State have increased much
in size and have greatly raised
their. standard so that now much
more is expected of the average
high school teacher than ever
before. With the growth of the
high schools of this State has
come a need for more efficiency
in high school methods anG the
State summer school aims to fill
this need.
The teachers who attend the
school will be given sleeping
quarters in Tkornwell and
Woodrow colleges, the new dor
mitories on the campus. They
will be furnished board at the
university commons on the cor
ner of Sumter and Green streets.
The gymnasium, Finn hall and
the library will be at the disposal
of the teachers while the school
is in progress.

they try to enforce such opinions
they will meet with failure. The

fathers did when King George
tried to enforce his opinions, but
they will slip off and go in swim
ming when the father isn't
watching, they will slight their
work, and above all, will likely
acquire a distaste for the farm

as these, these neglecfs of the
boys and their happiness, that
have caused many an otherwise
useful lad to run away to the
city and spend his life in druid
gerry and obscurity.
Another sad phase that often
develops from such treatment of
the boy is that the boy concludes
that he is not being given a
square deal, that his father has
no sympathy with his aspirations
and desires. He feels that home
is a kind of a halfway prison,
and that he is living life that is
In vain. When the boy loses
faith in his parents or regards
hlm as unjust, it is more than
likely that he will have low
opinion of other men, and will
not be very deeply impressed
with his duties to society.

Boys Should Have Time for

A. NJ. l.. in Progressive Farmer
Just how much should be in
cluded in this term. 'the pursuit

since Jefferson's day have debat-
ed, and yet we have no distinct
rule of measure. But, having
been a farm boy, and since boy
hood having worked with farm
boys of the South. l think l
speak for every single boy on
the farm today, when l say that
this pursuit of happiness means
more than the following of the
mules up and down the long
corn rows six days in the week,
from early morn till late at eve,
or the handling of the Doe in the
weedy cotton fields for a like
period of time. The boy will
get certain amount of satisfac-
ton out OF these occupations,
and at certain times may seem
really to enjoy the work, but he
cannot associate them with "the
pursuit of happiness" The term
does not fit-his very being will
not accept such definitions.
My knowledge of boys autho-
rlzes me to say that the pursuit
OF happiness means something
like ball and bat and other
boys to play with, or shotgun
to hunt squirrels, or maybe a
kodak on bright sunny day, or
a lunch basket, a book, and pole
line and reel. Some boys are
fond of one kind of sport, while
other boys choose a different
kind, but true, American farm
boy desires some such healthful,
manly enjoyments.

POSTMASTERSHIP FIGHTS
SETTLED BY MAI. NELLY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Two of
the most troublesome postoffice mud
dies that have been put up to Con-
gresham M. M. Nicely, of the First
district of West Virginia, have been
decided by his selection of postmas-
tiers for the cities of Wheeling and
Warrington.
Major Nicely has recommended Col
William w. Irwin, former sheriff of
Ohio county, as postmaster in the big
Panhandle city. The appointment
was made after long consideration of
the merits of the numerous candidates,
and is said by people conversant with
Wheeling affairs to meet with the APP
proval of the rsidents of that city.
In Warrington the Congressman
had to act as arbiter in hot contest
for the Office between j. Fred Beatty
and A. L. Pritchard, both prominent
and active Democrats. He decided in
favor Of Mr.. Beatty and has sent his
recommendation to the President.
1t is expected that President Will
son will submit the two nominations
to the Senate soon after the assem-
bling of Congress next week.
