FREEDOM MUST Be BOUGHT
And the Price to Ee Paid Is Complete
Mastery of All Passions and
Appetites.

Freedom is not a gift, but an at
tainment. 1t does not characterize
the state of nature, but flowers from
the growth Of personality and civiliza-
ton.
Action issues from character and
there is inner discord and the feel
ing Of restraint until the individual
is happy and satisfied in his act and
attitude.
A divided will marks incomplete
personality, and it is not a free will.
Every man must win his own free
dom. He must desire it enough to
pay its price, and its price is the mas
terry of passions and appetites.
AS man gains mastery over his
own powers and desires he is free.
Resolutions are good, because they
witness to the sense OF incomplete self
mastery and to the vision of greater
self-cont-ol and freedom that are pos
sible.-Minneapolis Journal.

PLAYING-CARDS FRENCH IDEA
Invented to Amuse Melancholy Mon.
arch-What the Suits Were
Intended to Represent.

Playing-cards were invented about
the year 1890, in order to amuse
Charles VI, then king of France, who
was subject to fits Of melancholy.
'The inventor proposed to represent
the four classes Of men in the king
dom. The clergy were represented by
hearts, for which reason the Spaniards
used, instead of neart, a copa Or
chalice.
The nobility and military were rep
resented by the points of spears. and
the Anglo-SaXon ignorance OF the
meaning of the figure led to them be-
ing calles9 spades"
Diamonds stood for citizens, mer-
chants and tfadespeople, not because
of their connection with the precious
stones, but because the carreauX, the
red marks that appear upon the
cards, We're intended to represent the
square stone tiles Of which the houses
of the middle class We're built.
The figure we call "club" was
originally a clover-leaf, ard alluded to
peasants and farmers. Spanish cards
bear. staye. or basto in lieu Of the
French clover-leaf, and it is probably
because of this that we refer to the
suit as "cluDs."

America about 1880 in Boston. The
galoshes or boots were as ugly anu

peculiar care. as the manufacturers
had little knowledge OF the use OF
rubber gum. In winter they froze

LITERARY SOCIETIES NEWBER-
RY COLLEGE MARCH DEBATE

The literary societies Of Newberry
college held their annual celebration
in the city opera house Friday night.
This was the occasion of the March
debate held each year between the
Phrenakosmian society and the EX-
celsior society, the two young mems
literary societies of the college. A
large audience was present to hear
the contest. Formally invited guests
were present from far and wide, in
Guiding numerous students from New
berry's sister institution, Summer
land college, and the occasion seemed
to be a most pleasant one for every
one. The strong and friendly rivalry
among active members and former
members of the two societies, each
"Phrena" and each Excelsior" pull
ing for his respective team in jolly
jesting and good natured way, added
zest and interest to the occasion.
The question debated was: "Re-
solved that all immigration to the
United States for a period of FIVE
year should be prohibited by law" ;"
The debate was spirited and interest
ing throughout and gave evidence OF
thorough preparation. The Phrena-
l-c~m'an team upheld the affirmative
side Of the question, while the Excel
$40. maintained the negative. The
judges rendered their decision in ia
yor of the negative.
The Phrenakosmian society was
represented by: C. J. NJ. Blume
Concord, N. c., captain, and L. E.
Blackwelder, Concord, and c. L..
Epting, Chaplin, debaters. 1. N. Mer'
chant, Newberry, captain, E. L. Setz-
Ter, Newberry, and K. W! Kinard
Johnston, represented the Excelsior
society. C. C. Freed of Columbia:
member of the Excelsior society, pre-
sided over the meeting.
Miss E. Saner of Prosperity, men,
ber of the Philomathian society was
the essayist, having as her subject
ssThe End of a Perfect Day." The
audience was delightfully."- impressed
by her splendid production and the
beautiful and touching way in which
she rendered it.

one considers the character OF the

lares century after century, avoiding
war when possible, and in their re-
mote mesa homes resisting even the

served some magnificent art, poetry

now in danger of extinction, just as
the white student Of Indian life is
beginning to appreciate their value.

Great Waterspout.

Particulars are published in the Me
teorological Magazine Of a great wa
terspout that correspondent OBJ
served south of Cape Comorin On a
day when the weather was fine and
the sea smooth. The waterspout
formed between a russet-gray cloud
and the sea nearly five miles from the
ship. At first the distance between
the base of the cloud and the surface
Of the sea was 1900 feet, and the
width of the column tapered from 800
feet at its juncture with the cloud to
$50 feet at the sea. The vortex ap-
peared to be a tube with taperinS
sides and central column. The walls
seemed to consist Of water moving
downward and the central column OF
water ascending. The phenomenon
lasted for 13 minutes; then the walls
appeared to ascend into the cloud.

Saw First Tobacco Smoke.

It was Christopher Columbus who
discovered tobacco, and he did it on
his first voyage in 1892, according to
little brochure which George Z.
Dempsey of Boston, has prepared for
distribution among the members OF
the Algonquin club. Mr. Denpsey's
account says: "Ue was not only the
first European to report tobacco, but
he saw the natives smoking rolls of it
-cisars-to light which they carried
burning brands in their hands. Popu'
lar impression makes Sir Walter Ra,
leigh. the discoverer. History dis
closes the fact that the distin-
guished nobleman was closely and
unfortunately identified with the fra
grant herb, but at the same tine
shows that he did not begin to play
his dramatic part on the worlds stage
fill wears after the great admiral had
quit it..
AT all events the pipe is insep-
arabic from our vision Of Raleigh, but
we know Columbus saw cigar Smok-
ing years before him. Unfortunate
discoyerer. indeed, Columbus found Il
new continent. and another gave it his
name. He discovered smoking, and
the name of another is linked to the
romance Of it."

wonderful way news was carried
across the continent during the ten
years immediately prior to the build

lines. which met at Promontory Point,
Utah. iii 1865. Mail ana newspapers
took from Il month to fifty days to
cross the continent prior to the eSt;,h-

began its service April 16, 1883, re-
ducin@ the time to ten days. Relay
stations with change of mounts were
established at Short distances, depend
ing upon the topography Of the coun-
try. and each rider would ride at top
speed from one TO the other, change
horses in Il trice ard 90 on. Human
endurance was pressed to the limit.
AS an illustration Of the speed made,
the last message Of President Blu
chanan to congress, in December, 1860,
was carried to San Francisco in eight
DAYS and two hours. In 1863 the trans

which arrived by mail. When the rail
