Items From Georgia Paper.
Brandon, Texas.

Our friend Mr.. Sam Cheatham
still gives much attention to bees.
For number of years he sold guam
titles of the most delightful honey
at Edgefeld. We noticed in Geor-
gia paper few days ago that MIR.
Cheatham had bee robbing. We
are confident that he gave the young
people much genuine pleasure, hav-
ing curried to Georgia the genuine
Edgefeld hospitality.
We noticed in the same paper
that Uncle Iv" Morgan is the su-
perintendent of large Sunday
school and that his son is secretary.
"Uncle W. is never happier than
when he is engaged in some good
work.
The following item from this
same Georgia paper leads US to be.
lieye that our friend Mr.. Sam
Cheatham has lost some of the en-
ergy for which he was noted in
Edgefeld, having now adopted the
lazy, go-easy ways of his Georgia
neighbors. Well wager consider
able sum, however, that none of
those Georgia Crackers reap lar
ger harvests than does this Edge
Geldian. We yet call him an Edge
6eldian, for we have not given him
up, expecting him to return some
day to his first love, the red, rocky
hills of Edgefeld.

as they were now leaving this
school, were beautiful. First of all
they were to aim at thoreughness,
and live above the sordid things of
life; seek those things which are the
best and highest il life, and strive
to be just what the master would
have them be. The class was literal,

wished to take this occasion to puo-
licly thank the friends. patrons and
trustees of the school for their spir-
it of loyalty and support that had
been 80 beautifully manifested dur

of fourteen years in school work he
had never met a people more re-

betteru1ent, nor had ever had such
an ideal board of trustees, He was

the school and with all together, it
is unsurpassed by any .school in

some of them say to me: You are

wheat and oats, hoe cotton and
corn, set out potato plants and have
the backache than to join the ranks
of satan's host. I am afraid there
are already too many enlisted in his
army. Why dol think so: Well,
sir, think for only a moment on the
suicides, the ragged and half-starv.

stripes with ball and chain that
might have been wearing good,
even nice clothing, had it not been

Union Meeting at Antioch.

OuDQay was splenQld Gay dl
Antioch, there being plenty of sun,
shine, clouds enough to make the
atmosphere cool, and yet no rain to
interiors with the coming or going
of those who wished to attend.
There were many people there from
the immediate section, and from
the other churches Of the second
division and some from Edgefeld.
Mr.. j. D. Hughey of Rehoboth is
moderator and presided over the
Sunday afternoon meeting. At the
morning meeting Mr.. j. B. Boze-
man, the orphanage man, made a
good talk, and the pastor of the
church, Rev. j. T. Littlejohn made
everybody feel at home, and in
good spirits by his presence and
direction of the morning meet
ing.
At one o'clock the announcement
was made that dinner was to be
served on the grounds, and every
body invited. At this time, very
pleasant hour was spent partaking
of the most delightful refreshment,
and there was plenty and to spare.
But the best part all was the OPP
portunity to meet and talk with the
friends whom we do not see every
day. There were many of these,
and we were almost sorry to be
called in,-and yet the subject Of
the afternoon was such a pertinent
one, andsso full of interest that we
were glad to be called to the House
of the Lord.
Aftersa short devotional service,
MIR. j. II Bozeman was called upon
to makeshe first address OH temper
ance, and this was followed by a
splendid presentation of the subject
by MI. w. j. Gaines of the Mt.
Zion church. = Mr. Gaines had pre-
pared q talk on an entirely different
subiect.Ibnt not being well on Sat-
urday, was una BILE to reach Antioch,
and was called upon for duty on a
different subject just at the last
minute, but Mr. Gaines must have
been thinking son this subject all
along, q. s.he. made a very effective
add ssfsfrfng among other
things to the time when the bar
rooms were closed for one year by
the efforts of the Christian women
of Edgefeld, many years ago.
The third address and last, was
made by Mr.. J. L. Minis, who spoke
more at length on the subject, Civ
ing among other things condensed
statemento of the history of the pro-
hibition movement in our own
county, 4of the great improvement in
conditions and of the importance of
the coming election and the neces-
sity of registering, and making a
large and enthusiastic vote on this
question on September IA.
Mr.. Littlejohn's absence was re.
GREETED at the afternoon service,
having been called away to preach
the funeral of the little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry McKie at Republic
can.
The absence of Mrs. Sallie Jones
was also regretted, this faithful
member of the Antioch church and
community being detained at home
on account of indisposition. With
the exception of these reminders of
the heart-acbes of life, the day was
a great and happy one, and doubt
less much good was done.

Everybody Likes Her

There is a certain type of a
girl who everybody seems to like.
No one can tell exactly why; but
after you have met her you turn
away to some other woman and
say, Don't you like Miss Mel
lie?" Now the reason you like
her is a subtle one. Without
knowing all about her you feel
just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who appre-
ciates the fact that she cannot
always have the first choice of
everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not ag-
gressive, and does not find Joy
in melting aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact
enough not to say the very thing
that will cause the skeleton in
her friends closet to rattle his
bones.
She is the girl who, whether it
is warm or cold, clear or stormy.
finds no fault with the weather.
+ She is the girl who makes this
world a pleasant place because
she is so pleasant herself.
And, by and by, when you
come to think of it, isn't she the
girl who makes you feel she likes
you, and therefore you like her?

Wiley Old Elephant.

The workers who drop their
tools as soon as the whistle blows,
and the girls who keep their
eyes on the clock during school
hours, have a sympathizer in an
elephant which was employed in
a lumberyard. A number of
logs had to be removed by him,
and only one remained when the
bell rang for ceasing work.
Of course the elephant knew
the bell and what it meant, and
was sauntering away when the
foreman babe him move the last
log. He did not object but with
all his tugging and straining did
not manage to lift it. Seeing
this the foreman called up sec
ond elephant to help, but even
the two together did no good-the
log could not be stirred. It must
be left.
Next day to the foreman's as
constituent, when the bell rang
for beginning work, the first
elephant marched straight up tt
log, lifted it quite easily, and
carried it to its proper place.

Luck Brinsers.

For talismanic purposes. red is
indispensable in China. 1t is
interviewer with the pigtail, and
must form a part of children's
clothing. Written charms must
also be in red ink on yellow pa
per to be efficacious against the
multitudinous i'll omens and evil
spirits which seem to surround
the Chinaman, and for this rea-
son all Imperial DEGREES are
written in vermilion.
One of the commonest amulets
worn by an only son is a small
silver lock. The father collects
coins from about a hundred diff
ferent heads of families, and has
them exchanged for silver,
which is converted into a native
paddock used to fasten a silver
chain round the boys neck.
This, it is believed, will pre-
serve him from evil spirits, lock
him to life, and contribute to
his health and longevity.
The tiger is the god of the
gambler in China, and a tigers
tooth is regarded as a talisman
for good-luck in speculation and
in games of chance, while the
claws and whiskers are worn as
love charms, and for success
and good fortune generally.
Pigs are also considered lucky,
and luck bringers in the shane
of little pigs made of gold and
silver are worn to attract for
tunes favors; but the black cat,
which, in our own country, is
regarded as mascot, is not ia
vored by the Chinese, who be-
lieve it to be a harbinger of pow
erty, misfortune, and sickness.

How to Prevent Group.

that in many cases Group can be pre-

the past winter 1 kept a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
house, and when he began having that
croupy cough 1 would give him one or
two doses of it would break the at

SpectacleS for Cows.

The idea of cows wearing
spectacles seems most ridiculous,
and no doubt you will laugh at
the very idea. Nevertheless,
there are cows who do wear
spectacles, and these may be
seen on the plains or steppes of
Russia, which are covered with
snow more than six months of
the year, The cows subsist on
the tufts of grass which crop
above the snow, and the
rays of the sun on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause
blindness. 1t occurred to a kind
hearted man to protect the cows
eyes in the same way as those of
human beings, and he manufact-
ured smoke colored spectacles
which could be safely worn by
cattle. These spectacles proved
a great success, and are now
worn by upwards of 10000 head
of cattle. The animals no long,
er suffer from snow blindness,
which once caused such untold
suffering amongst them.

CARROLL BILL is
CALLED UP AGAIN
Sportsmen Renew Effort to Obtain
Passage OF Measure This Week.
at Springfield.

Springfield. Ill. June 14.-Sports-
men were prepared today TO make
final and strenuous efforts TO obtain
the passage Of the Carroll boxing bill
before the windup Of the legislature
this Thursday or Friday. The Carroll
bill already has been passed by the
senate.
A similar measure was killed sew
eral weeks ago by the house. How
ever. the Carroll bill contains a clause,
which was not in the bill killed by the
house. providing that no municipality
can have legalized boxing until the
act is adopted at a referendum cleo
tion. Sportmen believe that with the
addition TO the original bill OF this
clause. the measure will now meet
with the favor OF the house.
As passed by the senate the Carroll
bill legalizes the holding OF 10 round,
no decision boxing bouts under the
supervision of a state athletic COM
mission. to he composed OF three mem
bers 10 he appointed by the governor.
II provides that FIVE per cent OF the net
receipts of such bouts he paid TO the
state and that the salary of members
OF the commission shall be $4,000
year.
An amendment. making the salaries
OF members $500 instead OF $1,000
and making the states share of re
ceipts 7ls instead OF FIVE per cent, had
been agreed TO in the senate. but
through an error was left out of the
