be carefully checked in order that
the discrepancy might be verified
as between the cash account of his

1t has been the practice that
whenever local improvement bonds
and interest coupons are paid, to
issue local Improvement warrants
TO cover the amount. Handling the
matter in this manner makes the
accounting cumbersome, therefore
1t is recommended that the practice
be discontinued.

Greenwood Journal.
Fred H. Dominick, in the second
rlce for Congress with Aiken has no
intention of filing protest against
Mr.. Ai!;cn's nomination because, as
reported, the latter's expense account
did not reach the office of Secretary
of State in time.
81 have not now and haven't had
since Tuesday the slightest idea of
protesting said Mr. Dominick this
morning to The Journal Mr.. Domi
nick came to Greenwood yesterday
afternoon, held conference with a
number of his friends last night and
left this morning for Anderson and
other towns in the upper part Of the
district.
you may say for me-" said Mr..
Dominick, "that the report that l
would contest Mr.. Aiken's nomina-
ton as published in yesterday morn
ing's papers WAS entirely erroneous.
l can not understand how such a
rumor could have been started be-
cause l have not been about the Of
flee of the Secretary of State"
Mr. Dominick is very appreciative
of the vote he received in Green

CHARM OF THE BIBLE.
Its Poetic Beauty and the Marvel of its

Its Poetic Beauty and the Marvel of its
Word Pictures.
Then some Of us who cared for lit
erature took up the Bible casually and
found its poetic beauty. We read the
book Of Job-which, by the way, Mr..
Swinburne is said to have known by
heart-and as we read it even the
stars themselves seemed less wonder
full than this description Of their mar
vel and mystery:
Canst thou bind the sweet influences oe
Pleiades or loose the bands Of Orion?
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his
season? Or canst thou guide Arcturus
with his sons"

Our School Girl.

Our school girl-oan We do less
than love her? Can we not do more
enjoy her!
Do you not marvel now and then
with smiles, and delicious contradic-
tions that so strangely made her up?
She is so newly come from out the
spirit mystery of the great unknown
that sometimes strange memories
haunt her eyes and strange and un-
explainable emotions shake her hear.
yet she is so vivid and vital part of
the everyday world about her that
often the pleasure of single day
will obliterate for her both past and
future. She is eager and petulant,
dearly selfish, foolish and gay. She is
dull to things that mean wrong AMI
,ugliness to older and wiser people,
she is needless of the tragedies the
coming years may bring. She blithel5
dares the penalties of her faults and
her fr::yolities. She laughs and grows
happy over Stiffness and trivialities.
She feels herself the center of vast
universe She has the wisdom of in.
consequence, and her Judgment of the
conventional standards with which W
Ealt her flying footsteps is untram-
relied because not biased by personal
knowledge of results. She has not
yet left the fairy borderlands of child
hood. She plays at her work and for
gets her lessons and her tasks, yet she
constantly sets herself new labors in
lnaccustomed fields.
The girl heart of her is awakening
20 its own sweetness. The impersonal
romance of enchanted castle and fairy
prince is beginning to take on new
aspects Of human tenderness ami
reality. Childish things hold her still
yet youth grows strong in her heart.
and t1le simplest happenings or ordf-
nary .lfe are mysterious symbols
beckoning her into the wonderful
Land Of Dear Adventure.
She is you-her mother-as you
once were, and she is as carelesslv
wise now as you were then. You
would not sadden the world by short
ening her needless days. You Tould
rot have her what you are now, except
through the process of her own life's
Journey.
The vision is still S1ers-the sweet
ness of springtine-the glamour OF
an untried world.
Love her for what she promises to
be. Love her more for that she does
promise it. Love her most for the

LAND LOAN ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED IN NEWBERRY
The Object to Take Advantage of the
System Recently Established
bye Congress.

A Land Loan association has beel
organized in Newberry with a pretty
str ng membership, which will be
largely increased. The following
officers were elected: DR.. w. c.
Brown, chairman; DR.. Geo. Y. Hun
ter, vice chairman; B. B. Lietzsey,
secretary and treasurer: directors
R. T. C. Hunter, I. NJ. Smith, ]. B.
scurry, M. B. Boinest, Jno. M. Suber,
appraising agents-H. H. Abrams, F.
r Hunter and R. G. Smith.
It is the purpose of this association
to organize similar associations in
the several townships. Ten men can
form an association.
The land loan system is to provide
the farmers with a means of borrow
ing money at low interest and on long
time.
Some of the provisions of the sys-
TEN are:
No association can borrow less than
$4,000. Any individual in an asso-
cation can borrow from 500 to $780,
Goo; but cannot borrow beyond dft.7
per cent of the value of the real es-
tate pledged. Nobody in the sasso-
citation is responsible for what any
member borrows except the borrower
himself. Loans will run from one
year to 35 years, to be paid in 80 in
stallments or in one installment.
The system promises great adVan-
tages to farmers.

Braided Rivers.

A river not confined to a single chan.
mel, but broken up into number OF
channels, which in turn branch and
unite in complex and confusing man
ner, is called a braided stream. It is
caused by the slight fall Of the stream,
which prevents it from carrying away
all the sediment swept into it by it's
numerous tributaries.
This material chokes the stream and
forces it to spread into many shallow
and shifting channels, resembling the
strands Of braid. A good example Of
this is Jefferson river, in Montana

TO Increase Wages.

In addition to that, while it has
been said that society sanctions an
eieht-hour day, this bill does not pur-
port to establish an eight-hour day,
but to increase wages, and it does not
purport to increase the wages of more
than 20 per cent of the employees Of
the railroads. About 80 per cent o.
these employees, some Of whom re-
ceive very low wages and perform
arduous services, are not benefited by
this bill. The bill purports to cover
only those who are actually opera
ing the trains. The other 80 per cent
are left out entirely.
'Labor will some time regard as 2
tremendous error this whole propo
sition.'
Senator LaFollette was the only Re-
publican voting for the measure. The
Democrats who voted against it were
Clarke of Arkansas and Hardwick OF
Georgia.
The remainder Of the legislative
program has been abandoned by this
