Sumorous Department.' Reversed Activitiea The teacher la the kindergarten gave a little talk on "helping mother," explaining that children who were almost six years old could at least dress themselves, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. A number of children told what they had done in the way of drying dishes, etc. All this seemed to Impress little Jlmmle very much. The next morning he proudly announced tb the circle, "I deased myself dls mornin'." Of course Jimmle received the highest praise and other children were urged to go and do likewise. The next day Jimmle again announced, "I dessed myself dls *- - AL.A momin'," and so proua was no umi at very frequent Intervals during the morning he triumphantly repeated this. So it continued on the third day, until the teacher answered that he was very glad to hear it, but thought that a boy who was big enough to dress himself ought to be able to sit quiet without Interrupting so often. Jimmle, however, continued to Inform the kindergarten at every possible moment that "I dessed myself dis momin'." Finally the teacher told him that if he interrupted again he would have to leave the circle. Jlmmle soon forgot and the teacher sent him behind a screen in the comer. A minute later the principal entered with a visitor and was sumrised to see a little head poked out from behind the screen. The teacher explained, and the principal, crossing the room, pushed the screen to one side. To her horror there stood Jlmmie with not even his shirt on. "I didn't dess myself dls time," he said tearfully. "I undessed myself." Wanted Children "Cleared." When the Children's bureau first opened a newspaper reporter wrote up a glowing account of the work to be effected. He described the bureau as a "clearing house for children," referring to the fact that we received dependent children and placed them In family homes. The city editor seized upon the phrase "clearing house for children" and headed the article with it. The following morning when I arrived at the bureau at 9 o'clock, I found two little negro boys and an aged negress sitting on the stoop. "Why?why, what is the matter with them?" I asked. "Ain't nawthin' de mattah. Ah wants 'em clared?clared clean out of mah sight. I'se jes done tired havln' 'em 'round.' "But you can't leave them here," I protested. "We don't want them." "Don't want 'em. They ain't nawthin' de mattah with 'em. They done said in de papah you took 'em and clared 'em. I'se walked cloee on five ohlllon onH T'flP mue IU leave mcui viuiivw ? >?. . ? gwine t' leave 'em." And down she sat. It was nearly noon before the combined efforts of all the workers succeeded In convincing her that since the children were hers, and not In want. It was Impossible to take them away.?New York Herald. Righteous Indignation.?Jacob DeCou of Chanute, claim agent for the Santa Fe railroad on the Southern Kansas division, recently received a letter from a friend in New Mexico, who is the Santa Fe claim agent there, says the Kansas City Journal. Inclosed was a copy of a complaint recently turned over to mm. it rouows; "Dear Sir?Did your injinear tell you he has killed too couse belonging: to me, he said he would tel you and the konduckter too they killed them tonlte as they cam acros the road at my plats where I have got a crosln and when I put my crosln In you sed you was puttin up a fense on eche side of the rode that wud keap crlterz from getting kiled you put up a hel of a fense to cafs broak it to klndlin wood a ouar after your fense gang went down the road?youre Injinear ott to be fired he knos there Is a grald thare and he comes down thar hel bent every nlte?the couse he kiled was yearelin heffers?brand bar J bar swallow farm on rite ear and left ear underhacked?

Faith and Works.?When Christian Science began to find firm footing In Winchester the little son of a prominent woman who had embraced the faith and was urging others to take It up, was out of school one day or two because of sickness. When the youngster returned his teacher, who was well along in years and possessed an Inquiring mlhd, engaged the youngster In conversation. "Been sick, Joe?" "Vfts'm " "Sick enough to be in bed?" "Yes'm." "What did your mother do for you, Joe, while you were in bed?" asked the teacher, now all expectancy for the reply. "She mended my trousers," lisped Joe. A Bad Mix- Up. ?"Say," remarked the government clerk to another, according to the Chicago Daily News, "I'm up against it good and proper." "What's the trouble?" queried g. c. No. 2.

"Oh, that's nothing," rejoined his fellow clerk. "I've done that myself." "Yes," continued the other, "but I mixed the certificates in mailing.

News, April 24: Chief of Police McManus and Policeman Bell raided the home of Sam Massey, colored, last Wednesday. The officers found eighl gallons of liquor, in pint packages. A warrant was sworn out yesterdaj against Massey charging him with storing and selling whisky Our esteemed fellow townsman, Capt A. H Greene, met with a bad accident Wednesday. He was riding in an automobile with his son, Mr. G. H. Greene ol Rock Hill, ahd when near Caskey's sta tion the car ran over a rough place In the road, the unexpected Jolt throwing Capt. Greene out of the machine. He fell on his shoulder, which was severely and painfully bruised by its contact with the ground. It was at first thought that the shoulder was dislocated, but fortunately such proved not to be the case. Gapt Greene is now getting along very nicely, though still suffering some from his Injuries John Foster, a colored man about 42 years old, son of Dan Foster of Lancaster, was accidentally drowned Wednesday at Great Falls, where he had been working for the Southern Power company. The nature of his work necessitated his being in water much of his time. He was known as what is called a "diver," and It is thought that in the prosecution of his work he encountered a swift current which carried him under. The body was recovered Thursday and brought here yesterday for burial. Foster was a man of immense size. Before going to Qreat Falls he was emDloved in laying water works pipes In Lancaster. GA8T0N. Gastonia Gazette, April 24: Death has again Invaded the ranks of Gaston county's Confederate veterans, this time claiming Mr. J. B. P. Bryson, a well-to-do citizen and farmer of the Omitt, Pnint nootlnn. whose home was not far from XJnlon Presbyterian cnurch. Death came at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning and followed many months of Illness. Mr. Bryson had been confined to his home the greater part of the past winter and had been bed-ridden for a number of weeka Two or three years ago he suffered from a severe attack of pneumonia which left his constitution in a very depleted condition. He developed tuberculosis and this disease gained rapid headway with the result that death ensued at the time above mentioned Mr. Andrew Jackson Martin, a well-todo citizen and Confederate veteran of the county, died Tuesday at his home in the Union neighborhood. Death was due to Brlght's disease and heart trouble. The body was laid to rest Wednesday morning In the cemetery at Sandy Plains following funeral services at Sandy Plains Baptist church at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. H. Reddish. Had he lived till June, Mr. Martin would have been 75 years of age. He had for many years been a loyal nnH consistent member of the BaDtist church and had a large number of friends who mourn his departure from this life. Surviving him are his daughter, Mrs. I* F. Groves of Gastonla; his widow, formerly Mrs. Nancy Warren, who was his second wife, and one sister, Mrs. WUllam Sams. Deceased was a Confederate veteran, having served throughout the war In company M, S xteenth North Carolina regiment. In addition to those mentioned above, Mr. Martin is survived by two sons. THE WILY COMEDIAN. Hia Mixup With a Contract, a Legal Fee and an Opinion. There was a certain comic opera comedian who made no end of money and who scorned anything like ostentatious recklessness in the spending of it. He was almost morbid on the subject, in fact, and there were those who said that he went to evening instead of morning service so that he might have the use of the money he dropped into the box a little longer. This is by way of explaining the grief which once befell him in Cleveland. Somebody had played an engagement at a certain theater and had received a frigid reception, which stage people call a frost. The comedian wasn't going to run any risks. He wouldn't play at the theater unless a certain amount of money was promised him. The manager of the theater offered a very large percentage of the receipts; but, oh, dear, no, the wily comedian wasn't going to be caught by such cnan as mat. He insisteu upon a lump sum regardless of receipts. The sum was guaranteed, the contract signed. The comedian came to town and, strolling as If by chance Into the box office, asked how the house was selling. "Oh," said the ticket seller, "we sold every seat In the house ten days ago!" The comedian's blood boiled. "Would," said he to himself, "oh, would that I had accepted the percentage! It would have been double what I get now." It was too late, however, to rely on simple wouldlng to change matters, so he sought the foremost attorney of the town, showed him the contract and expressed his desire to break It and abide by the customary percentage plan. Before the attorney would consent to express an opinion the question of fee came up, and the comedian handed him $500. The man at law then took the paper and examined it. "My dear sir," said he, "that contract can't possibly be broken. I drew It up myself." It Is not told what the temperature of Cleveland according to the government report was that day, but in the neighborhood of that comedian thing> fairly sizzled.?Washington Star. Mechanical Use.?This Is one of the pet stories of W. R. Smith, general attorney for the Sante Fe, says the Kansas City Star: One must almost be a Kansan to get the real chuckle out of it. A man dropped into a Kansas drug store and asked for a bottle of beer. "All right," said the druggist reaching for the "sign-up" book "What reason shall I give?" "I'm not slckr" said the purchaser. "VVpII If vmi rlnn't wnnt it for inal purposes, do you want it for me< chanical uses?" asked the druggist. "Sure, sure?for mechanical," was the reply. "Well, specify," went on the drug gist. " 'H'm, h'm," muttered the buyer ' scratching his head. "H'm?oh, yes? , that's right?I want it to grease s buggy with." GOING TO COLUMBIA. a t Catawba Power Company Afraid of t Charlotte's New Charter. t There Is now no longer any doubt f but that the Southern Power compa- v 1 ny will move Its general offices from 1 Charlotte. One of the high officials of * the company last Tuesday night stated 8 . unequivocally to the Observer, that * . such a step had been practically de- ' t elded upon. Asked as to the time, he stated that It would be something like u k eight months, outstanding contracts 1 and Incomplete plans relative to new e i work preventing an earlier removal. ^ While no authoritative statement was r' given as to the location of the new p offices, It Is little questioned by those ^ , in a position to know that Columbia, s. ~ ; C.. will be chosen. Rock Hill, S. C., n . and Salisbury have both made over- ^ [ tures but the development of the sys, tern makes Columbia the logical cen- * , tre and there the general offices will be , placed. It is stated that men are now p . in Columbia making arrangements for w . the transfer. That Charlotte is to suffer a heavy , blow by the transfer of the general . offices of this company Is not to be K denied. The Southern Power comi pany, with its $11,000,000 capital, its i backing and its plans for the future, s was and still, is the city's premier d . corporation. Employed in the general t offices on the first and third floors of tl the Trust building are approximately n 100 high-salaried and able men, three- n ! fourths of whom are connected with w I the engineering and construction de- b partments. From Charlotte went out bulletins to all sections regarding com- e mercial advantages and possibilities, c, not one of which failed to refer to the t, . fact that the head offices of the great- ^ , est hydro-electric development of the w , south was located in the city. The e Southern Power company has also in- b duced practically an or tne targe eiectrie machinery manufacturing and sup- j, ply concerns to open and maintain of- ^ 1 flees in the city, such as the Westing- n house, General Electric, Western Electrie, Wagner Electric and other con- p ' cerns, which have added to the city's E 1 progress in no small fashion. Char- Q 1 lotte has heretofore been the centre of t] ' operations of the company whose fleld has stretched from Winston and Greensboro on the north, to Spartan- r burg and Columbia on the south, this r being the largest city adjacent to the ^ 1 centre of the chain of water-powers t, along the Catawba. s There are two reasons why the n 1 Southern Power company is to move e its general offices from Charlotte. First, because the action of the board e of aldermen at that memorable meet- a ing during the latter part of Febru- n ary inserted a clause into the proposed new charter giving the board ^ the power to regulate service and es- ^ pecially rates of public service cor- ^ 1 porations^ which clause was grafted ' by members of the legislature to the amended Harris charter, the charter which goes into efTect early next month. t) 1 This clause is said to have given the Q northern interests of the company, who T took It at Its face value and con- ^ strued It as a warning and menace of the future, such a Jar that they have t] never been able to reconcile themselves to anything but a change when a e change can be accomplished without t( great Inconvenience at this time. This action of the board, they claim, will 1 Jeopardize the sale of bonds In the fl- t| nanclal markets as It will give the ^ municipality the right at any time to & ' say what rates shall be charged and ^ what not. Whether this be true or not h Is not to be argued here. It Is enough to say that the promoters and backers p of the company did not relish this ^ treatment, so much so that they are willing to dispose of their public utllItles contract at any time. p This action of the board cut the only p string which operated to keep the n general offices of the Southern Power company In Charlotte. As Is well ^ known, the Southern Power company Is engaged principally In the develop- ~ ment of hydro-electrlclty and the dis- g( trlbutlon and sale of It In wholesale quantities, to manufacturing plants, cities, distributing agencies and the J like in this general territory. In Charlotte the company violated Its first principle and went into the retail business, where It has commanded a large and handsome patronage. Of the men ^ employed by the company, approximately nine out of ten were engaged n in the engineering and construction departments. They had no business originally In Charlotte any more so than in Rock Hill or Chester, or Lancaster, S. C., which were Indeed equally as well, If not better situated for the work in hand by reason of their proximity to the centres of development. These offices and these men, however. had to be somewhere and Charlotte was chosen. When a large local retail p business was built up, there was no sufficient reason for a change, everything being satisfactory, and so the offices remained while the work at Great Falls, Rocky Creek and Ninety- ^ Nine Islands was belr.g prosecuted. T The board of aldermen, however, ac- w cording to the statements of officials 01 of the company, has taken a step, which Jeopardizes this retail business 1=' to the extent that It will be sold If si possible, and hence there Is no reason & why the general offices of the engl- w neerlng and construction departments ei remain here when they could be more s< economically administered elsewhere. P1 The second reason for the change and with It the reason why Columbia Is to t! be chosen for the general offices of the r< company Is the fact that the monster b wuieree power un me ^uiawua, \wc ? 1 river at this point is known as the g Wateree), is the next to be developed, tl This power is situated near Camden g and only twenty-eight miles from Co- g lumbia, and when in operation will T furnish approximately 100,000 of hy- p ! dro-electrical horse-power. This fact is enough to give some idea of the w ! colossal proportions of the develop- tl ' ment which will take at least two years T to finish and which will cost from $2,- f< 500,000 to J3,000,000. Augmented forces C , will have to be employed and these can s I be handled from a Columbia office more e , economically than from an office in \ l Charlotte. No definite plans have yet , been reached as to when this work will d . commence, but it will be in the near ti > future, that is, some time next yeur. Tfiu Nlnotv-NInn Islands (ipvplonmpnt near Blacksburg is now under way but s this will hardly be finished before next March. Transmission lines will be T< extended down from Rocky Creek, a . distance of about twenty miles, to the t . site of the new development and as a soon as the station is finished its pro- s i duct will be thrown into the general t system. The present daily output of d - the Southern Power company is ap- c proximately 90,000 horse-power. <1 , It is not to be understood that the c - Southern Power company is to shut i up shop in Charlotte when its general offices are transferred. A force cap- p ible of looking: after the local busiiess and that of the adjacent terriory will be maintained here which will >e perhaps one-fourth or one-fifth the resent force. Mr. W. S. Lee, Jr., ice president and chief engineer; Mr. j. C. Harrison, assistant secretary; dr. J. WT Fraser, assistant chief en;Jneer; Mr. iy. H. Martin, assistant reasurer; Mr. C. L. Burkholder, and he rest however, will make the change. There is another phase of the sltation which is embarrassing to Mr. ,ee, who Is head of the Southern Powr company forces in the south. He as been laboring with might and main or quite a while to bring new enterrises to Charlotte, to boost the city, a promote the development of Greater :harlotte and to foster her growth and ow he himself in the near future will ave to move. It is needless to add hat he regrets it immensely, but it rill have to be done.

What is the cause of this state of lilngs? It is owing to the fact that 'e have two eyes that we are enabled ot only to perceive the direction in rhlch externa] objects are situated, ut to get an idea of their distance, to >calize them in space. But this powr is rather limited. For distances exeedlng some hundreds of yards it ut2rly fails. The reason is that the disuice betwen the eyes as compared ,AU 41 fn Kn ovalnafoH hp. rilll (.no U1DUUICO WU I/V VTU.1uwt.vv1 omes too small. Instruments have een devised by which the distance betveen the eyes is, as it were, artificially icreased. With a good instrument of tils sort distances of several miles lay be evaluated. For still greater lstance we may imagine each eye relaced by a photographic plate. Iven this would be quite sufficient for ne of the heavenly bodies?viz., for tie moon. At one and the same moment let a hotograph of the moon and the surounding stars be taken both at the tape observatory and at the Royal obervatory at Qreenwich. Placing the wo photographs side by side in the tereoscope, we shall clearly see the loon "hanging In space" and may valuate Its distance. But for the sun and the nearest plants, our next neighbors In the universe fter the moon, the difficulty recomlences. The reason Is that any available dlsmce on the earth, taken as eye dlsuice, Is rather small for the purpose, lowever, owing to incredible pereevrance and skill of several observers nd by substituting the most refined leasurement for stereoscopic examinaion, astronomers have succeeded in vercomlng the difficulty for the sun. think we may say that at present we now its distance to within a thouELndth part of its amount Knowing tie sun's distances, we get that of all tie Dlanets by a well known relation xlstlng between the planetary di? inces.

Back to lelr own camp they hurried and soon iturned with kettles of coffee, corn read, bacon?the best they had and II they had. Presently little fires bean to twinkle in the prison camp, and tie aroma of coffee rose like a frarant cloud of thank offering. Union uests and Confederate hosts mingled, he next morning the prisoners dearted. Now comes a happy sequel which *ell balances the affair. Later, when fie prisoners were exchanged, the 'hlrd Ohio was encamped near Kelly's ?rry, on the banks of the Tennessee. >n the day of the storming of Mislonary ridge among the prisoners takn were numbered the Fifty-fourth 'irginia. Some of the Third Ohio were on uty at the ferry when the prison detachments arrived. "What regiment is that?" they asked. When told they started on the run, houting as they went: "The Fifty-fourth Virginia's at the erry!" They dashed Into their ramp with he news. The place was astir intantly. Treasures of coffee, bacon, ugar, beef, preserved peaches?everyhlng was turned out and carried louble quick to the ferry.

It Wat One of the Most Successful Meetings Yet Held. After electing Dr John L. Dawson of Charleston, president, and choosing Laurens as the next meeting place, the convention of the South Carolina Medical association, which has been In session In Summervllle since Monday, adjourned last Thursday. Nothing occurred to mar the success of the occasion at any time, and practically all the doctors were agreed that It was one of the most successful meetings ever held by the association. The Vserv,lce at the Pine Forest Inn was superb, and the doctors were of one voice in expressing their appreciation of It. Capt F. W. Wagener, the proprietor, was present In person to assist Manager aenna in loosing alter the comfort of the guests, and nothing was left undone to make their stay at this magnlflceptly equipped hotel a pleasant one. Drs. F. Julian Carroll, chairman; J. B. Johnson and B. D. Tupper, of the committee on arrangements, were especially active In looking after the welfare of the visitors, and all of the citizens of Summervllle lent their cordial assistance. Probably the most Important event of the closing session was the election by the house of delegates of officers to serve during the ensuing year. The following were elected: President?Dr. John L. Dawson of Charleston. First vice president?Dr. F. H. McLeod of Florence. Second vice president?Dr. C. M. Rees of Charleston. Third vice president?Dr. A. H. Hayden of Spartanburg. Secretary?Dr. Walter Cheyne of Sumter. Treasurer?Dr. C. P. Almar of Charleston. Elections were then held to All the places made vacant on the board of councilors this year. The following were elected; Second district, Dr. Timmerman, Bishopvllle; Fourth district, Dr. J. F. Williams, Spartanburg; Sixth umu iuit xjk. tt uuaui ugBicoiuuf iicu laville; Eighth district, Dr. T. G. Croft, Aiken. The vacancies on the state board of medical examiners were filled as follows: First district, Dr. J. F. Maybank, Charleston; Third district, Dr. H. G. Eleazer, Peaks; Fifth district, Dr. R. A. Bratton, Yorkville; Seventh district. Dr. J. J. Watson, Colu jia; member from the state at large, who is to serve for one year, Dr. Boozer, of Columbia. The following committees were appointed: Committee on scientific works?Dr. Walter Cheyne, ex officio, Sumter, and Drs. J. H. Taylor and W. A. Boyd, Columbia. Committee on public policy and legislation?Dr. LeGrand Guerry, Dr. Wm. Weston and Dr. W. A. Boyd, all of Columbia. Committee on the prevention of venereal diseases?Dr. T. P. Whaley, Dr. Davis Furman and Dr. C. W. Barron. Committee on necrology?Dr. HInes, Dr. A. L Folk and Dr. Quattlebaum. It was decided at the meeting Thursday to take some move In regard to the erection of a monument to the memory of Dr. J. Marlon Slmms, probably the greatest member that South Carolina has contributed to the medical profession. He was born In Lancaster county, but before his death had attended many of the crown heads of Europe and was recognized to be the leading physician of the world. Dr. Simms was the first to use surgery for the cure of gynaecological diseases and became especially famous for this. At the suggestion of President Baker, a committee was apoplntea to look Into the matter of erecting a memorial to this great physician. Those composing the committee are Drs. T. Grange Simons, C. W. Kollock and S. C. Baker. After the election of officers and the appointing of committees wei over, It was next to be decided where the convention should take place next year. Invitations were extended by Florence, Aiken and Laurens. It was finally voted that the meeting should be held In Laurens on the third Wednesday In April of next year. i&r A man who attends strictly to his own business has a good steady job.
