those used for the comfort bags, and
the extras added are designed espe-
cially for Cheer" combining practic-
ability and pleasure.

I met business man
Up on the street the other day
And he was all smiles.
1t was such an unusual thing
That I stopped
And asked him il there was
Any thing wrong.
He said there wasn't,
But that he had just been thinking.
And laughed
Because I never suspected
That he would do such thing.
Ny curiosity was aroused.
I wanted to know
What was on his mind.
He said:
I've been thinking Of what
A prosperous summer
Leavenworth is going to have.
With all the mills running,
New industries starting up,
A big crop Of apples
And everybody getting good money.
And I smiled to.
Yes. we had lot to be thankful for.
The sun was shining bright
1t was a perfect day.
The kind that makes you
Forget your troubles.
I felt like a millionaire.
And then my friend said
He wanted a page ad this week.
And felt still better.
Then we talked some more
About Leavenworth's prosperity.

So did my friend.

And left this third party
Still talking.

Stage Fright.

inexperienced speakers, when call
ed on to make public addresses,
sometimes suffer from. stage fright,
which causes actual functional de-
rangements of speech. A French
physician has made a study Of the
subject and made public the results
in an address to recent congress
of alienists in France. There are
two principal causes, he says, vaci a.
ton and stammering. These can oc-
cur either separately or together
usually there is perturbation of the
respiratory function. The speaker
takes in the air too rapidly, expires
when he should inspire, or vice versa.
He speaks in too high a tone, ia
tigues his larynz, grows hoarse and,
if his address be long sometimes
loses his voice altogether. These de-
fects can be overcome, according to
the French physician, by breathing
properly, speaking slowly and in a
deep tone of voice. Special practice
is required to attain this. The
speaker must take course of exer-
cises designed to regulate and retard
the movements of respiration and he
must accustom himself to speaking
in a. low tone. The best results can
be obtained by the use of friend to
check too rapid speaking. A certain
young physician, according to the
Review of Reviews, corrected this de-
feet by discoursing in front of his
mirror and obliging himself to pro-
| nounce a certain number of words in
a certain length of time.-lndian-

FAMOUS WE'LL GOES DRY.
Legend of Beautiful Welsh Girl and
Wicked Prince Recalled.

The dispatches telling that St. Win
ifred's well, in Holywell, Flintshire,
Wales, has gone dry observe that it
had been flowing from time i'm
memorial but legend is more speci-
fic as to the date of its origin. Wini-
fred, or Winefride, as she was known
in the Catholic church, or Guenevra,
as she was called until the conquest
of Wales, was born about A. D. 500.
Her uncle, st. Bueno, built a monas-
terry in Flintshire, where the girl
lived with her father, Thevit, Cam
brian magnate.
Cadadoc, son of neighboriny
prince, tried to carry off Winifred
She fled toward her uncle's church,
but the wicked youth overlook her
on the slope above the site of the
present we'll and with his sword cut
off her head. The head rolled down
the incline, and where it rested gush-
ed the spring. St. Bueno left the al
tar, returned the head to the body
and covered them with his cloak.
After mass he removed the cloak and
Winifred was as we'll as ever, except
for a thin white circle around her
neck. Presently Cadadoc fell dead
when he stood insolently leaning up
on his sword, and it was the popu-
lar belief in Wales that the earth
opened and swallowed him.
There was a stone in the we'll pool,
and St. Bueno, standing on this, made
the promise that "whosoever on that
spot should thrice ask for a benefit
from God in the name of St. Winifred
would obtain the grace he asked if
it was for the good of his soul" All
this we have from the British monk,
Elerius, whose manuscript is in the
British museum, and from another
scri pit supposed to have been written
by Robert, prior of Shrewsbury. The
we'll has been regarded by pious per-
sons as another Lourdes.-New York

Her Little Failing.

We had another visit with great
grandmother the other day, relates
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. She
said, in part:
Eyes, the girls do things now that
would have been considered wicked
in my day, but girls aren't any
wickeder. But points of view change
back and forth. 1 have been told
that some women who are otherwise
respectable, smoke cigarettes nova
days. Think how that would have
Mortified us fifty years ago! And
yet-my dear old grandmother
smoked clay pipe.
How that would horrify my
grandchildren"
What form of tobacco do you p,
fer?" we asked her.
"Get along with you! One is bar
barous and the other is degenerate.
The woman who would smoke a pipe
is hag and the woman that would
smoke cigarette is hussy. -: -:
But listen and here she Whis-
pered-''I do enjoy a mild cigar after
my dinner"

OIL IN MARLBORO COUNTY.
In Digging for Foundation of Flour
Mill, Kerosene is Discovered.

C. H. Jackson was digging pit on
his farm at the Five Forks last week
in which to put machinery for flour
mill and distinct scent Of oil was
noticed. He paid little attention to
it till Saturday, when the accumula-
tion of an oily substance was so pro-
nounced that he began an investiga-
tion. 1t now developes that there is
a small quantity of crude oil seeping
through the earth's surface to with
in five feet of the top.
Examinations are being made and
it seems altogether probable that we
will have some gushers right here at
us.
The strata on which this oil is
found is the fiat lands, and if true
production of crude oil, there is a
very large territory affected, as this
low, fiat land is said to extend from
near the fair grounds at Bennettsville
to point near Latta. A great deal of
it is covered with timber yet. AS
soon as definite surveys and tests are
made there will be something doing
in this section, if we are blessed with
oil.

Since the above was written by the
Advocates Clio correspondent, the
editor went to Five Forks Tuesday
afternoon and examined the oil.
which was found oozing from the
chalky clay at the bottom of the five
foot excavation which Mr.. Jackson
had made for the foundation of his
-four mill. The odor and looks of the
oil show undoubtedly that it is crude
kerosene. 1t burns freely when a
match is applied.
Water is also trickling into the ex-
cavation, and stands about a foot
deep if not pumped off in several
hours. The oil floats on the top Of
the water and forms a yellow scum.
A sample of the oil was obtained
from the excavation and is on exhibi-
ton at the Advocate Office.
Mr.. Jackson said that kilograms
had been sent to Columbia and Wash
ington for experts to come and make
an examination. He expects them in
a day or two.
Mr.. Jackson is son of Rod Jack
son, of Dillon county, and nephew
of J. M. Jackson, of Bennettsville.
The 36O-acre tract Of land on which
he resides at Five Forks is part of
the estate of his wife's grandfather,
! Col. T. N. Edens. 1t is between Clio
and Blenheim, about four miles from
each place.
It is probable that there is large
quantity of oil down in the earth at
that place and possibly over large
area in that section, and is seeping
through the chalk to near the surface
at that point. In oil sections wells
are often bored hundreds of feet deep
to reach the oil.
Dozens of people from miles
around were viewing the oil flow at
Five Forks Tuesday afternoon. Hun
dreds have been there since the oil
was discovered.-Pee Dee Advocate.

How many people know that it is
a misdemeanor for any person under
the influence of whiskey to drive an
automobile on public highway!
Such a law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the general assembly. 1t is
a good law and it ought to be en-
forced. 1t might be. of some incon-
venience to JOY riders, but it.would
certainly be beneficial to the public
to cut out drunken and half-drunken
auto driving. The following is the
law, as quoted by an exchange:
From and after the passage of
this act it shall be- unlawful for any
person or persons while under the
influence of intoxicating liquors or
narcotics, to drive or operate upon
the public highways of this State any
automobile, motorcycle or other mo-
tor vehicle.
Any person or persons violating
the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof by court
of competent jurisdiction, shall be
fined in a sum of not less than tWen-
ty nor more than one hundred d0-
lars, or imprisoned for period OF not
less than twenty nor more than thlr-
ty days in the county Jail or upon
the county chaingang of the county
in which the violation occurred.
