I passed him in the street, but he soon
came TO know of me from the admiral
and Captain Ivy, who told him all my
story since I was freed from jail. Then
he said should be confined In mar
row space near to Kingston, and
should have no freedom; but the ad-
miral had his way, and was given
freedom of the whole island till word
should come from the admiralty what
should be done with me.
swell, we had-Michael and but
twenty pounds between us; and II
there was not plenty of free food IN
the island, God knows what would
have become Of us! But there 1t was,
fresh in every field, by every wayside.
at every doorway. And one day at
Kingston l met a man, one Cassandro
Biatt, who had an obsession for ad-
venture, and he came and spoke to me
privately. He said he knew me from
peoples talk, and would l listen TO
him? What was there to do? He was
clean-cut rogue, If ever there was
one, but a rogue Of parts, as ne
proved; and lent an ear.
"Now, what think you was his
story? Well, but this-that of the
coast Of Haiti, there was a ship which
had been sunk with every man on
board, and with the ship was treasure
without counting-jewels belonging to
a Spaniard of high place, who was TAX
ing them to Paris. There had been
searching for the ship, but none had
found it; but he, Cassandro Biatt, had
sure knowledge, got from an obi-man,
of the place where 1t lay. 1t would
not be an expensive business, but,
cheap as It was, he had no means Of
raising cash for the purpose; while /
could, no doubt, raise the needed
money if set about it. That was how
he put 1t to me. Would do It?
"Why should I tell Biatt the truth
about myself? He knew it. Cassan-
dro was an accomplished liar, and a
man of merit of his kind. This obi
mans story have never believed; yet
how came Blatt to know where that
treasure-ship was I do not know now,
while am very rich because of it all.
"Yes, out we went through the har-
Dor of Kingston, beyond the splendid
defenses Of Port Royal and the men,
of-war there, past the Palisades and
Rock fort. and away to the place Of
treasure-trove. We found it-that lost
galleon; and we found the treasure

Held to Discuss Dairyins.

ones own work, two things the farm
ers Of South Carolina have not been
doing heretofore.

DR.. j. B. Bell Gives
Interesting Talk

DR.. John B. Bell of the State
Teachers college at Greeley gave
a very interesting talk at schoo
this morning. DIR Bell has charge
of the Extension and Field work oI
the college. and visits every schou
in the state. He expects to visit
our school two OF three times dur
ing the year. His subject wat
"I hrlft." Thrift week coming tn,
latter part of the month made this
a very appropriate subject.
He began by giving statistic
from the American Bankers asso
citation. which show that out OF
every one hundred men at the age
of twenty FIVE who have good pros
poets. only one is wealthy, three
well TO do. six working, fifty -four
dependent and thirty-six are dead
at the age of sixty-five.
He showed thai these facts were
not due to the lack of opportunity
or poverty in national resources.
but in working our the theory, he
found that the expenditure forlux-
uries during 1919 were enormous,
and stats.d that at least $l25 Were
spent foolishly every year, by every
man, woman and child in the
United States and its possessions
The amount spent for candy
alone ia 1919 would have paid tht
educational bill, cared for our de.
linquents, and built six cement
roads from New York to San Fran
cisco: thus showing how much
money is spent in things that are
unnecessary.
He made the following remarks
with respect as to method of cor
recting our expenditure: The de-
velopmentof saving. keeping books
and habit of budget. He stated
that if these suggestions were car
ried out there would be no need OF
only four out Of one-hundred men
being independent in the future,
nor there need not be fifty four de
pendent. He related very inter
esting story of a Denver druggist
