You don't have to take it and read it -you can pay up and quit. According to the Philadelphia In quirer, no state with an ambitious millionaire 'really lacks senatorial timber. A sensible councilman in Atlanta wants painting eliminatEd from the curriculum. He is right. Too many frills have been introduced into the public school system, leading to a frightful waste of valurble time After painting would doubtless come sculpturing and architecture-a mis erable smattering in each instance. Tonsorial artists, says the News and Courier, are said to be astounded by the announcement of a London scientist that he has effected a paste that will clean away the beard with out the use of a razor. But the story sounds very much like some kind of a skin game. The lIdianapolis News thinks that "no free people cught ever to get into the habit of thinking or any one man, no matter how good and great, as indispensable." Right. If they (io the lone man will soon be character izing the people as "undesirable." Watered Stock. The Calvert eorres.oident of the Sylvan Valley News says: "The greatest cow in Dixie is owned by Mr. Lewis. le sayu lie sold 700 gallons of skimmed niilk in live m11onth1s, besides 100 pounds of butter. Thme Captain has turned the ''card" ovtr to Mr. Lewis.'' Evidently p)lenty of salt and water in that counitry, as well as8 "mZoon shine " ' he traveling revivalist mn Georgia who lashed his 12-year-old 80on nlearly to death, because the little fellow played b'ase-ball Su ndaiy, prob)ably thinks that he has incuilcatedl 1n his offspring the Christian idea of kind ness and forbearance. Six months of hard labor on the rock-pile mayli clear up the befogged braiun of the fanatic who has been living off his own pious shoutings and the collec tion of his congregations.

Porverts Nature. Tlhe Westnster corre.sp)onden t of the K eonee Ccou rioer says': "D). C. Ward, wvho died on Mlay 13, ba:) eight children." No wond1nr ho (lied. Not All Did. "When we see so many young men with their hair parted in the middle and hanging down over their fore heads so as to obscure every trace of intellect, and so many young woman with their hair all frizzly-frowsly and lopping arovnd over their pretty faces in ifty different directions, we are not surprised that the followers of Dal win are now 'positively sure that mankind descended from the monkey. -[Leesburg News. "Oh, don't be so hard on them Most of them are young and inexpc rienced. Soon the frizzly-frowsly woman will become the wife of the dudish follow, and then the frizzles will come out of her hair while his hair will come out by the roots. Just Just walt.-[B'acUsburg Chronicle. Some few folks in the country yet, who trace their paternal origin from Adam and Eve, even if they do not "ape" their ancestors in their manner of living, dress, etc. One thing they are adepts in, that is in "disobeying" the laws of God, man and nature. The work done on Main street has had aeveral hard rains on it,' but it is standing up well. It is a pity that the town council did not have the money to make a clean sweep of Main street, from one end to the other, cut down the knolls and drag the dirt into the swags and low places, take up the trees from out of the street and sidewalk and put the walk and street in good condition. It would take probably $200, and we believe this amount. could be raised by pop ular subscription, one gentle.an'al ready signifying his willingness to contribute $10 to this fund. The work already done is fuvorabl;' con, mented on by both citizens and visit ors alike. Let the good work go on, as soon as possible. Somewhat Inexpedient. The C)harleston News and Caurier says: "It is hoped that as mr,an3 as pos sible ,f the S >ut h Carolina )-ditori, who will meet, at the Isle of 1'aimts in .JI1)n)., will tring b)rid ." .lost of themi) have pats:u'd b e "bride" stage, tand as this is Lot. l?tali, it, will I., as less for (the Neus and11 Corier to hopo that itt sufg(-fs.

Went Down T1he Calver't correspondent of the Brevard paper gets off the following ".J. WV. Brooks, of Cherryfield, hasu ret urned home and is visiting Mr. Lewis at Calvert. Lewis says that lirouks is singing "Too, Oid 1Home1 is Not Like It Usaed to Be.'' Mr'. Brooks camne iome wvith the mumps Lewis says lie dloesn't know which direc tien the mumps wvent, 'up or downi." Judging from the song the mumpe must hauve taken a downward course. A Terrible Mix-Up. "A mnix-up of horse and bugg~y, colored nur~se as driver and wvoann with1 a baby in her arms, and the female portion of two Chapman fam ilies, occurred in front of the J. WV. Caapmnan residenuce on North Cald well street alonday. What we have beard about it leaves so much unacer tainty' in our mlinid that w'e leave our1 renders to learni part'tceulars fronm lirst hands.

Anyhow, we leave our readlers to separait(e tor unura'vel the mix-up) as best they can and get what iniformationi they cjan from the mlixed-up story. FOLESlNEYmITAR "Du Tell." There is some talk of establishing a Kaeley liquor cure establishment at Sassafrat Gap. We hope it will go through, as we understand the location and suiroundiugs are very conducive to the success of such an enterprise and that it will 'have the moral support of several of our prom inert citizens.--[Brevard (N.

The ladies of Pickens Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy, are doing all in their power to make next Saturdey, the 1st of June, one of the biggest duys yet had in the interest of the surviving Con(ed erate Soldiers, and, to this end, all soldiers of the Confederacy are espe cially invited to come and partake of the hospitality of Pickens on that day. The people of Pickens are looking forward to this day as one of the pleasures of the yeai, when old comrodes can came together on comr mon ground, and feel that they have at least won a victory in which the people rejoice with them. It is always aipleasant time not only fcr the vet eranY but for their descendants, for the spirit that animated the soldiers of the '61 to '65 still lives in the hearts of the children of those sol diers of the greate.t war on record. This will be an occasion of rejoic ing -not a revival of old bitter feel ing-but a day of exultation and thanksgiving, as it were: for the blessings that hnve attendad men whose patriotism has been severely tried, and who have found for them selves, and to hand !o .n to their children, the priceless heritage of victory over seif, though their ulti mtate success at attrmn ws not reward ed with the ulitti t: victory in war.
