: Humorous ilrpartmrnt. THREE GOOD JOKES. f W. S. Witham, a well-known Atlanta banker, got off the following good ones recently at an insurance banquet: I "Now, George "Washington was disqualified as a life insurance agent. Don't misunderstand me, please. I . mean that George could not get his own consent to take ten hours' pay for two hours' work. George, like a preacher friend of mine, always acted from conscientious and not personal motives. This preacher friend was getting $2,000 and had a call to another church at $4,000. Three weeks after t the call was made a deacon of the new , church was passing the parsonage and < utHa con of thp nreacher. 1 Said the deacon: < " 'Is your father going to accept that call to our new church?" , " 'I don't know, sir,' cried the boy, ! 'He is still praying over it: but ma has , all the things packed.' 1 "Persistence and push may be a fault in some people: but in the insurance agent it is a charming quality, re- 1 strained by that modesty peculiar to : the man. . " 'I went into a bird store to buy a j pet for my wife. After looking around \ the man showed me into a room where i there were a dozen parrots, all sizes, < colors and nationalities. I pointed to 1 one, and asked the man to send "Honesty" down to my house. He safd he would do so at once; but asked me why t I called the parrot "Honesty?" Be- j cause,' said my friend, 'he is the best c poll I see.' t The story is told of a lawyer and an ' insurance agent seeking to enter heav- 1 en. The doorkeeper told them they must ascend the long stairs, taking , with them some chalk with which to j mark each step, and when they had t climbed as many steps as they had i committed sins they might enter. ? "So the two began. After the law- Jyer had chalked 10,000 steps he sat . down to rest: but looking up he saw the insurance agent coming down the f steps. c " 'Why,' said the lawyer, 'where are you goin?' J " 'Going down for more chalk.' ex- I claimed the insurance agent, with a tired yet persistent look." Defended Her Father.?There is a ] litle girl in Detroit whose passion for t the truth under all circumstances em- J barrassed her father very much theoth- * er day. Not long ago he lost a high sal- t aried plate in a business house because j of its absorption by a trust, and in the ^ evening denounced all persons connec- s ted with trusts as thieves and robbers, i But the trust found that it needed him, 1 and he was soon holding his old place, ' in addition to a good block of stock. It . was noticed that the little girl was deeply impressed with the incident, and i looked at her fatner aouDtingiy wneu j he was home. One evening there was 1 company at the house and the host became involved in a heated political debate with a peppery guest. The former made a staterpent which the latter flatly denied. "Why, my dear man," laughed the host, "you don't mean to call me a liar?" "No, he don't declared the little one, as she sprang in front of the visitor and crior-oH at Viim with flaminc eves, "and Ii won't fiave it. My papa is a robber t and a thief, but he is no liar!" f The explanation was soon secured < from the child, and the hilliarity fol- ' lowing the expose was the joy of the evening. , tnr The little boy had come in with t his clothes torn, his hair full of dust, ^ and his face bearing unmistakable marks of a severe conflict. "Oh, Wil- 1 lie, Willie!" exclaimed his mother, ( deeply shocked and grieved, "you have ] disobeyed me again. How often have ] I told you not to play with that wicked 1 Stapleford boy!" 5 "Mamma," said Willie, washing the J blood from his nose, "do I look as if ( I had been playing with anybody?"? t Ram's Horn. j *3* Mr. Blithers was awakened by 1 some one fumbling at the front door. | Getting softly out of bed he stole ] forward and peered through the key hole. Then he gave a glad chuckle of delight and flung open the door. , The Surprised burglar fell backward 1 down the stoop, and gaining his feet < started to run away in terror, when ' Blithers called after him gayly: "Come back and have something: I , thought you were the tax collector!"?

Text of the Lcmkoii, Acta II, 1-11. Memory Verses, 1? 1?Golden Text, John xtI, 13? Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] 1. "And nlieu the day of Pentecost was fully couie they were all with one record in one place." In the feasts of he Lord which He gave to Israel there i\as a foreshadowing of future events :onceruing the Lord Jesus both in His luuiiliation aud exaltation. The Pass>ver lamb ever pointed onward t cv, ^ 'Christ our 1'ussovei* sacrificed for us* ;I Cor. v, 7). On the morrow after the Sabbath they were to bring a sileat or ;be lirst fruits of the harvest uuto the wriest and offer a he lamb without jlemish for a burnt offering with his ; neat and drink offering. This pointed to iie resurrection of Christ from the dead, :he first fruits of them that sleep (Lev. cxiii, 9-14; I Cor. xv, 20, 23). After 50 lays they were to offer a new meat offering unto the Lord, a first fruits with eaven which had to be met by a sin offering (Lev. xxiii, 15-19), and this typiies the gathering of the church by the ] joming of the Spirit 50 days after the esurrectiou of Christ. 2. "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty vind, and it filled all the house where hey were sitting." They had been since i Flis ascension continuing with one ac- i ;ord in prayer and supplication, and now ] :hey were with one accord in one place i, 14; ii, 1). Compare the "one accords" 'or Him in chapters ii, 46; iv, 24; viii, 6, tc., and contrast the "one accords" igainst Him in vii, 57, etc. If those who ] neet in His name to worship Him would 1 ndeed do it with one accord, who can j ell what He might do for such unity of i nirpose? We may not be able to bring 1 ibout this union in the church, but we . an each pray, "Unite my heart to fear rhy name" (Ps. lxxxvl, 11). They had ' )een told to tarry until endued (Luke :xiv, 49). but whether they thought pos- < ibly it might be on the day of first fruits i ir not we know not. a 3. 4. "They were all filled with the ( 3oly Ghost and began to speak." The 1 >roinise of the Father, the promised Comforter, came as Jesus had said He ' von Id. for evorv promise of Ilis is as i rood as fulfilled when made, for He is < aithful who promises (I Thess. v, 24). : :Ie had said that when He returned to , he Father He would send the Holy Spi.-- ( t (John xv, 20: xvi. 7). They had seen . Iirn ascend, and now the Spirit came as 1 3e said and filled them to be their 1 eacher. guide and comforter as He ( Iimself had been when with them. 1 iVhen, at His baptism, the Spirit came < specially upon Him, He came not as ire, but as a dove (Math, iii, 10), for , here was nothing in Him that needed lurifying or consuming: but there is nuch in us. as there was in the disciples, ' o be consumed and purified. If we were ! tver filled with the Spirit, for these nu n I vere filled again and again (iv, 8. 31), i 3c would speak through us purifying < vords for the benefit of others. It is 1 hought by many that the coming of the . Spirit at Pentecost was a fulfillment of lets i, 11. and that then Jesus Himself 1 arae, but such do not consider that the ? leavens have received Him until the ' :imes of restoration of all things which 1 3od hath spoken by nis prophets, nor ; hat Jesus said He would send "another" , Comforter, and "another" cannot moan "the same" (Acts. iii. 21; John xiv, 10). P f. r)nvmit men nut of everv nation ' indor heaven hoard thorn sponk in their >wn language. The countries from which I hey came are mentioned in verses 0-11, i ind in all those different languages the < liseiples spoke, for all languages are ^ equally easy to the Holy Spirit, and it ( vas the Spirit who took control of them md spoke through them, not because they '' ivere specially good or holy, but for His < ;ake whom the Spirit would glorify ! hrough them (Ezek. xxxvi, 22; John xvi. : 14). Our Lord had said to them while ret with them as lie sent them forth. "It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit o? 1 rour Father that speaketh in you" [Math, x, 20). and lie still says to us as ! He said to Moses. "Now therefore go. ami I will be with thy mouth and teach thee ivjint thou shalt say" (Ex. iv, 12). Misnonaries have often longed for this spe- i Mai gift of the Spirit, but I have not heard of any one being able to speak a ' foreign language without much study, hough I am personally acquainted with more than one missionary who. relying [ upon the IIol.v Spirit, has been able to make such progress in the study of the i anguage that what would ordinarily take . a year has been accomplished in five or six months. ' 7, S. "Behold, are not all these which 1 speak Galileans, and how hear we every nan in our own tongue wherein'we were jorn?" In their estimation nothing good ; >r great or wonderful could corne from , jSalilee (John vii, 52). and to hear an uneducated tishermau from Galilee speak , the language that was theirs by birth was truly an amazing thing, and they lid uot know that God, the Creator of all 1 things, the Lord God of Israel, was deal < ng with them that they might know Ilim tuid His Son whom they had crucified ( In Gen. xi a rebellion against God led to , the confusion of tongues, hut now, not J withstanding a great rebellion against 1 Him. He would by this great work of 1 the Spirit magnify Ilis Son and if possi- ( hie draw tlietn to Ilim. lie had /aised ; from the dead the Prince of Life whom : they had kiiied. and, although they had ( jonied Him and desired a murderer in , His stead, yet He would forgive thorn ' lnd unite tlieni to Ilim if they would let [lirn (Acts iii. 14. 15). 0-11. "We do hear them speak in our i tongues the wonderful works of God." i Peter's sermon, which follows, also Stephen's sermon in chapter vii. and Paul's , in chapter xiii. give a good idea of the wonderful works of God which they doflared, but after speaking of Ilis past ; wondrous works in Ilis dealings with Is ael they always led up to the crucifixion 1 )f Christ and Ilis resurrection from the 1 lend and the assurance that lie was inleed the promised Messiah of Israel, the , Son of David, who, having fulfilled the ( prophecies concerning His humiliation, would in due time fulfill all other prophe- ' ;ies (chapters ii. 29-30; iii, 18-21). The Spirit so honored this testimony by Peter that 3,000 accepted Jesus as the Christ i nfter his first sermon. As afterward ] through Stephen they were not able to ; resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake, and in them was fulfilled the promise of the Lord Jesus, "I ' will give you a mouth and wisdom which ' ill your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay uor resist."

CHEROKEE. Gaffney Ledger, May 14: Yesterday two bodies that had long been laid to rest were exhumed and moved from the old graveyard in the rear of Alderman L. Baker's residence and re-interred at Oakland cemetery. One was the body of Mrs. H. G. Gaffney, which had been buried for about 20 years; the other that of Sarah Gaffney, a 12 year old daughter, that had been buried for about 40 years. The bodies were exhumed so that they might be placed beside the remains of the late Squire H. G. Gaffney, who died about a year ago, and was buried at Oakland Last Tuesday M. Self had the misfortune to have his right arm broken. Mr. Self was driving to Gaffney in a onehorse wagon and was seated in a chair. While passing along the road near a field in which some men were at work he was engaged in looking at some of the workmen and did not notice a large rock that had been placed in the road. The wagon wheel struck the rock and tilted the wagon, throwing Mr. Self and the chair out with the result as above stated. Mr. Self was in town yesterday with his arm in a sling. It well be several weeks before he will be able to use it again. He has the sympathy of a host of friends in his misfortune Next Saturday week Senator John L. McLaurin will be a visitor to Gaffney, and as such will be the guest of Cherokee county. It is only proper that he should be shown that respect and attention due to his I nnultlnn I.eiivlnir nut the fact that it is Senator McLaurln, we will say that one of South Carolina's representatives Jn the senate of the United States is to he with us on that day, and we must pay him the respect due a senator. With this Idea In view It appears that there should be some action taken to entertain the gentleman, therefore, The Ledger suggests that a meeting of the citizens oe held tomorrow at 11 o'clock, in the court house, to devise ways and means to entertain the senator. LANCASTER. Ledger, March 15: Capt. Ell Caskey, who lives several miles east of town was stricken with paralysis one day the past week. His right side is badly affected and he is said to be in a critical condition Paul, the flve-year-old son of Mr. C. L. McManus, who lives several miles east of town, fell from a mule one day the past week and broke one of his legs between the knee and thigh. Dr. Poovey set the broken limb and the little fellow is doing well .On Saturday last Messrs. Wm. Cauthen and Tillman Vincent, two young men of the Oakhurst section, had a difficulty resulting from the former coming upon the latter on his father's lands and ordering him off. Mr. Cauthen was shot in the side and Mr. Vincent bruised about the head from a blow with a stick. Neither was badly hurt Mrs. Fannie Reed, nee Miss Fannie Baskln, * 1? t In Dnnl/ lormeny ui t uicu m Hill the past week Dr. H. W. Bays, the presiding elder of the Rock Hill district, will deliver his lecture "Courtship." at Heath Springs, Wednesday, May 29 Quite a sensation was created yesterday morning by the discovery of a supposed newly made grave in an old Negro burying yard in the edge of town. Deputy Coroner Perry was notified and had the grave opened but found nothing in it. It was very suspicious looking indeed, as a pile of brush had been placed over the spot when the supposed grave had been filled and the coroner was not the only one present who expected to see a little body unearthed. Origin op the Ku Klux Klan.? When the Civil war ended, the little town of Pulaski, Tenn., welcomed home a band of young men who, though they were veterans of hard-fought fields, were for the most part no older than the mass of college students, says William Garrott Brown in the May Atlan tic. in me general puveiiy, mc exhaustion, the lack of heart, naturally prevalent throughout the beaten South, young men had more leisure than was good for them. A Southern country town, even in the halcyon days before the war, was not a particularly lively place, and Pulaski in 1866 was doubtless rather tame to fellows who had seen Pickett charge at Gettysburg, or galloped over the country with Morgan and Wheeler. A group of them, assembled in a law office one evening in May. 1866, were discussing ways and means of having a livelier time. Someone suggested a club or society. An ore-.inizntlnn with no very definite aims was effected, and at a second meeting, a week later, names were proposed and discussed. Someone pronounced the Greek word Kuklos, meaning a circle. From Kuklos to Ku Klux was an easy transition?whoever consults a glossary of college boys' slang will not find it strange?and Klan followed Ku Klux as naturally as "dumpty" follows "humpty." That the name meant nothing whatever was a recommendation, and one can fancy what sort of bandinage would have followed the suggestion that in six years a committee of congress would devote thirteen volumes to the history of the movement that began in a Pulaski law office and migrated later to a deserted and halfruined house on the outskirts of the village. ; Commerc I# f When you want Comme f ed that you want the best to f cheaper in the end to get that 1 * the Printing that ranks as the S rtf flin noAr\lft nrliAm ' T cRICllUUIl Ul nit [ivujjiv, viiiviii F the best printing is especially c F about the same price as you c F kind, and perhaps a little less.
