LADY GREGORY LECTURES IN

ST. PAUL.
Lady Gregory the widow of Sir Will
liam Gregory who was. governor of
Ceylon and member Of Parliament
from the counties of Galway and
Dublin, lectured on Monday evening
before the English section of the st.
Paul institute. Her subject was the
folk lore of Ireland. OF course, in
such a subject Lady Gregory was quite
at home, for she has spent many years
in the study of the Irish language and
traditions and fire-side tales. Those of
us who have lived in Ireland we'll
know the fascination of those legends
and stories; the charming mingling of
all that is humorous, droll, pathetic
ghostly and spiritual; for in the old
land they possess double sense of
seeing; they see beyond the realities
of their surroundings, for to them
reality is always fringed with the ir-
ridescence Of the preternatural, just
as all Of us do sometimes catch on
the edge of our eyes the. beautiful
tinges of the rainbow. D>
Besides her gifts as storyteller
Lady Gregory has distinguished her.
self as an author. Among her writ
ings we find: Poets and Dreamers;
Gods and Fighting Men; Saints and
Wonders; The Kiltarten Wonder
Book. Several Of her plays have been
produced in Ireland by the Players
National Theatre Society. Lady Greg

William G.. Staples, chief deputy in
the Office of collector of internal rev.

appearance followed the discovery of
his alleged shortage of about 1000.
The statement of, collector Hayward
was that Staples was suspended from
his position Monday, and had not been
since seen. Though runors of Sta
pies shortage and disappearance
were circulated in Columbia Tues
day, confirmation was not obtained
until today.
Collector Hayward declined to dis
cuss the matter, further than to say
that he Immediately informed the
department of internal revenue at
Washington of the alleged shortage.
United States Commissioners Sloan
refused to say whether warrant had
been issued for Staples.
Staples was in the internal rev.
enue service about 10 years. He was
deputy in this State under Collector
Micah Jenkins and was later trans
ferred to Raleigh. After Hayward
became collector for South Carolina

CORN CLUB PRIZES
offered FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by II. G.
Hastings in South Carolina
and Other States

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) Corn club
prizes for Southern boys in South Car
olina and nine other corn-growing
states of this section have been renew
ed for 1915 by II. G. Hastings, gen.
eral chairman of the Georgia corn
show committee and chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Atlanta
chamber Of commerce.
The prizes amount in all to $1,000,
in cash and scholarships, and will be
awarded under the direction of the
government corn club agents in each
state.
In South Carolina Mr.. Hastings has
offered 500 to be divided into three
cash prizes of $50, $50 and $40, or to
be awarded in scholarship form, ac-
cording to the wishes of the South
Carolina corn club authorities.
In Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and North Carolina,
Mr.. Hastings offers 500 in each state,
either in cash or scholarships, accord
ing to local arrangement. In Georgia,
his home state, he offers $3.50 schCl-
arship in the State College of Agri-
culture and two additional cash prizes
of $50 and $40, respectively
The great educational value and
constructive force of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn productions, are emphasized in
all interview given out by Mr. Hast
ingS in connection with his announce
mcnt of prizes. Mr.. Hastings said:
The interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
ernmert, by state officials, by leading
orcaniTations and individuals, is. in
my opinion, the greatest constructive
force now operative in agriculturaT
affairs in America. For too long the
tendency Of education in the ruraI
scHC0l was to draw boys away from
thr farm, but the corn clubs are now
combining with true agricultural edu-
cation to influence the boys to form
new ideas and new ideals of farm
life The corn club work is growing
in value and Importance with each
successive year"

Is now greeting us with it's bright
sunny days and let us trust and pray
that 1t will bring sunshine and happi-
ness into every home and that the de-
preston that was so keenly felt by
the multitude in 1914 will be entirely
blotted from the great new wheel of
progress that will tide us over the
days of the new year. The machinery
OF progress and prosperity is sure to
grow and magnify itself as long as
the world stands and therefore let ev-
eryone look forward to the good
things that this new year surely will
bring. 1t will not be regretted by a

worse for us than it is. We could be

we have.
Every effort is being put forth to
advance the work in our Sunday
school. Superintendent w. G. Bobo

have been offered to get the children
more interested in the work and the
ones getting the highest average

daintily prepared were served by the

was to be traced through several

was found new years gift attached

membrance of it will long be stamped
on the minds of all who were present.
Another entertainment in this sec
