Our esteemed,' contemporary, the (j'orgetown Times, came to us yesterday bearing date August 52. Iu the same issue the editor says J something about celebrating his! birthday.

The Edgefield Chronicle, one of our most valued exchanges, celebrated the beginning of its thirtieth volume last week. With sincere regret we note the illness of its veteran editor, Col James T Bacon. Most earnestly we hope that our esteemed friend may soon b? climbing the hill of recovery. In violating the sauctity of the! Sabbath by making it an ordinary work day for transacting the busiuess of his office while at his summer home at Beverley, Mass., President Taft is setting a precedent that lays him open to rebuke by the Christian people of the Uuited States regardless of party affiliation. Senator Benjamin R Tillman has expressed himself as "being i glad the State is going dry".i Like a "number of other politicians who fought to the last ditch to keep alive the old State disj>ensary. Senator Tillman has never Lad any use for the count}- dispensary system. From State dispensary to prohibition is swinging the circle about ISO degrees. Harvard Scholarships.

Educational Day forKingstree, The Educational Campaign Comuiittee,which is holding "Educational Rallies" in every county iu South Carolina by sending public speakers over the State to address the people on educational subjects with a view to arousiDg public sentiment touching the great cause they represent, has assigned in its schedule one day to Williamsburg county.

Every white man,woman aud child who cares to be present ! will be cordiallv welcomed on this occasion and we hope to see the largi auditorium of the school tilled to , overflowing. We would suggest that Monday, !

Let luncheon 01 a picnic dinner be served at the school house and make the occasion a memorable one. The hospitality of Kingstree ii i proverbial and the friends, as well as ah f rrofco chniild j IUC ouaugcio nuuiu vui ^uww)wuvuiv not only be made to feel that we ar< j glad to see them, but in a practica way we should express our welcomi by providing for their comfort. Besides the speakers, there are ex< pected trustees, teachers,patrons and pupils?and these classes includi nearly all of our desirable citizens They are all of them engaged in t noble work and we should /eel proud to have them in our midst. Let us show them by the warmth of our welcome that they are honored guests Poor Richard's Almanac. A good example is the best sePmon. I God heals, and the doctoi takes j the fees. You may be too cunning for one, i but not for all. Words may show a man's wit, but | actions his meaning. \n nn ncp nf wit that, is houpht is worth a pound that is taught. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage; half shut afterwards. Ne'er take a wife till thou hast a house (and a fire) to put her in. If a man could have half bis wishes,he would double his troubles. Drink does not drown care, but waters it and tuakes it grow faster. If you would keep your secret from an enemy,tell it not to a friend. Good sense is a ching all need, few have, and none think they want Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined with Poverty, supped with Infamy. When out of favor none know thee; when in, thou dost not know thyself. If your riches are yours,why don't you take them with you to the other world? Lend money to an enemy and thnn'lt jrain him: to a friend and I ? o thou'lt lose him. Be civil to all; serviceable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. Work as if you were to live a hundred years; pray as if you were to die to-morrow. The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends. A wise man will desire 110 more than what he may get justly use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly. Doing an injury puts you below your enemy; revengiug one makes you even with him, forgiving it sets you above him. Take Notice. All persons are recommended to take Foley's Kidney Remedy for backache, rheumatism and kidney and bladder trouble. It will quickly correct urinary irregularities which, if ! neglected,may develop iuto a serious illness. It will restore health and strength. Do not neglect signs ol kidney or bladder trouble and risk Bright's disease or diabetes. D C Scott.

True Story From The Lecture Platform The chairman of the lecture committee wasa very absent-minded man, : and when he had reached that por, tion of his introduction of the Eminent Lecturer wherein it was fitting that he should mention the name of the honored visitor he torgoc ic completely, aud in the hope that it would return unto him, began to spar for time: "When I say that it is a household word all over this broad land , of ours, from the xYtlautic to the Pacific, from the Penobscot to the Golf, I make no mistake. When I say that it is the name of one of the Princes of Literature, I but do its honored bearer scant justice. When I say that in oratory the mere mention of it calls to our minds the days of Demosthenes, I but speak , the simple truth." i Still the name did not come. "And to think that he is with us here to-nightl To think that I i should be privileged to stand upon this platform here, in this town, i with?ah?with/ij//<."' ; Still no glimmer of the Immortal Name. "I can hardly believe it, and yet - my eyes tell me that he i3 here, i My very being echoes to his houored i name. My spirit rejoices that one like this should pause in the midst of his inspired labors to be our guest to-night.'' Identity of gentleman still elusive. "My friends, in a life-time of ^ happiness, and i may say of honor, among you, I have known no happiness, attained 110 no! I will not speak 1 the name, for is it not graven in t letters of golden tire on all our hearts? It is. And so, let me say to you simDlv, but in all sincerity, that he is here, that we are privileged to look upon him; to hear his voice, to , drink in the wisdom of his utterances and the splendor ot his , eloquence." : Sits down amid uproarious applause. ?September Lippincoft's ? A Delightful Occasion. Indiantown, August 24:?On Wednesday, August 18, the young people of Indiantown enjoyed one of the most delightful entertainments of the season given by Miss Kathryn Bridgman honor of Misses "Dimple" and Frank Cooper of Mississippi, who are visiting relatives in this community. The day was perfect in its idyllic loveli-1 ness and until the golden sun-j light faded into dusky twilight croquet and other games were played upon the verdant lawn. Ilere also an al fresco luncheon was served, including lemonade, cream, cake and other delicacies. Later on the vine-covered porch, decorated with ferns and flowers, rang with joyous laughter and the scene was one of beauty and gladsome gaiety. The hours were from 5 to 8 p m., but I am afraid, Mr Editor, that we tried the pate*mce of our good pastor and hit ?timable lady beyond the limit* as it was not until "Fair Luna" was generous with her soft, silvery rays that we could say farewell to merry faces of fascinating maidens, wreathed with winsome smiles. The following were among the participants: Misses Kathryn Bridgman, "Dimple" and Frank Cooper, bailie Hanna; Janet Ervin. Emma and Lucile Cooper, Mattie Brown, Lizzie Hanna, "Jo Jo", but not Jhoe; Messrs Harold Bridgman, Eddie Rollins, Tlieo Rogers, Lewis Covington, Ogilvie Rogers, Julian Hanna, Paul Wilson, David and Robert Hanna, Ed Brown, Henry Nelson.

Many an animal scared by a siren has been driven to a worse place than where they sold tea. It is suspected that a heathen that sticks to his idols is more to be trusted than a Chinaman that is converted with an eye to worldly things.
