"High Balls" and "Once there was a pitcher in the Up-country who hypnotized the op posing team with high balle.- INews and Courier. Ool. Hemphill,'editor of the News and Courier, is pretty good at toss ing "high balls." at the Press Association, but they are on to his 'curves" and he can't fan any of them this season. They are in ses sion in Charleston this week, and if the Colonel wants them to get 0 just hand them--ice-cold water. That will give them such a fright that they cannot "hit a thing.,' . A Misnomer. At the Isle of Palms to-morrow a practical contest will determine what South Carolina editor can outstrip.- If [News and Courier, 18th. Brother, don't you mean to ask the question, "What South Carolina ed itor can strip the quickest?" The beach is very near and the roaring of the surf is very alluring. One of the suburbs of Chicago is the site of a well-known school oflj theology from which go out each week many members of the senior class to try their voices as "supplies." A passenger on t Monday morning t train was surprised at the humber of tiem who got off at the station. "What are all of those chaps getting off here for?" he asked the brakeman. - Then?" a9ked the brakeman. "Oh, they're returned empties from the college." 'The New York Mail, in comment ing on weather conditions, says: "There is no need looking for warm weather until someboly thaws out the Fairbanks boom." We hope somebody will manage to soon melt the thing. The Ilowers we strew upon the i graves of our dead do thoem fully as s much good as the food which the Chinese lay on the tomb does their dead.____________ A writer in Collier's Weekly aiserts that Vice-President Fair banks is bald headed, hut hides the spot so nobody will know it. Another nature fakir A Chicago woman swears that her hunband has been drunk 8,285 times, That woman must have an automatic drunk register. We have wasted enough flowers on the graves of a thousand dead to have carried' joy to the hearts of a e million living. If we are sick we do not want any neighbors tiptoeing in and whisper- a ing in a sepulchral voice, "0, doesn't he look badl" Lord Rosebery, formerly British prime minister, is an authority on gardens, although most people know him only~ as a statesmian and author. Trhe negro politieiatns who haven't got govern mnt jobs are devoting most of their time to anti Roose-I 'yaltismn. "Silence" is so rare in Boston that te oght to erect a monument to A good circus comes about as near as anything we know to being the fountain of p'rpotual youth. t The question is, Was it Roosevelt or Long that lirst discovered nature.|e Last year, while Editor Homphill Iae devoting so much of his valua le time toward Making the editors ave a good time, he laid tribute Ipon them in a pleasant, at least to hem, pleasant wav, >y having theum o take cAarge of the editorial col Imus of the News and Courier heir contributions wade such 1 great bit that he has issued specia fnvitattions to the editors to this weel urnish "copy," but he has assigned mubjects to most of his staff of as iistante, and they will respond nobly and notwithstanding the enbarg< laid upon the peucil-pushers, th< people of Charleston, and all readere f the News and Couriet will rea< the sparkling, bubbling, scintillating pages of their favorite morning pape with much avidity and gusto. Pri marily, for the sake of Col. Hemp bill, but mainly for the good of the paper, we think that he should ar range to have the Press Associatioi meet monthly in Oharleston. The Civic League has bad five bar rels painted a bright vermillion hue which have been setting out on v back lot for two weeks, taking thi weather. The object of these barrelh was to have them placed in front o ;he stores for garbage. But it seemE he object has been abandoned ayhow, the barrels are still where he painter left them. We wouli uggest that tbey be disposed of by lution, the proceeds to be expended n buying the Chief of Police a nice >lue unifojm decorated with brase )uttons and gold stripes. Have omething in the town looking up o-date. "Where is my wandering boy to ight?" He is out calling on some uoember of the Civic League. We vill kindly ask the loving mothers tc :cop him at home for a time, so that ho League can get "kotched" up vith all that great lot of "improving mnd beautifying .'ork" they mapped mut a shor t time ago to do in Picg ms. Hot weathei is fast coming on tad if they -don't get to work soon assittido will-- overtake them--and .he old tewn vWill still be unbecon ngly beautified.

The Philadelphia Press says that de railroads surely must be wanting make themselves as unpopular 'ith the people as they possibly can, r they would not be doing it. It is said tbat "there is as much looking busy as there is in really sing busy." Well, well, for a veri. cation of this fact you'll have to ask -the courthouse crowd. Repentance comes to us after our ns have foond us out, which is an asy way to circumvent public senti aent. King Edward is wearing a ping hir,. Is his favorite song, "I'll Be Chere With Bells One'' Judge Lynch has many grievous ins to answer for, but there is on< food thing about his decisions-the3 ire never reversed on legal techni talities. T1here are times in every man's l'fe vhen the clasp of a friend's hand njeans more than *all the words eveu pokeon. Wheat, corn and other cereals are tendily advancing in price. Even 'ild oats are more expensive than armerly. Gjodliness is of the heart, not ol be mouth.. You cannot avoid responsibility by hirking uty. The State Press association is in session in Oharleston'this week with q headquarters at Hotel Seashore on the Isle of Palms. Col. Aull, Presi dent'of the association says Ed Do Camp came down without his ("biled') shirt while Col. Bacon wore his 12 iomers, and he gives out on the quiet that everybody must stay away from the beach whe.n Appelt starts in bathing as he split his bathing suit - from behind last year and he has not had them sowed up yet and he is afraid he will appear in the "alter gether" too much. He also states that Col. Hemphill, in his night robe, as the witching hour of midnight ap pears, will assemble the craft together and as he admonishes them in soft and modulate tones about wasting the midnight oil, will give to each one a "night cap" and send them to bed 'and to a pitcher of ice water. There are no better people gathered together than this bunch, no better place to meet than Cuarleston and the Isle of Palms and no man on earth who will. look more closely after their temporal and "spiritual" wel fare than Col. Hemphill. On May 24th, 1907 at 9:30 o'clock Kirby Lewis the 14 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Lewis closed his eyes to the dear ones of earth to wake in the image of Jesus and his remains were laid to rest the day fol lowing his death at Mountain Grove church, Rev. B. F. Murphree con dncting the funeral services Death came, and with his icy hand He stilled his loving heart, But now he Ives in better land Where death can have no part. Our life is short and full of care: The end is always nigh, We seldom haif begin to live When we are called to die. The little life so short on earth, A witness to us given That death is but an angel's birth A lift- begun in heaven. Why should our tears in sorrow flow When God recalls His own And bids them le,.ve a world of. woe For an immortal crown? There is a soft and downy bed Tis fair as bieati of heaven. The couch for weary mortals spread W I'e : they may rest the aching head. And find repose in heaven, Little Kirby we will miss thee. In our family circle here But some day we will caress thee In Lhat happy land so fair. A FRIEND. DO YOU GBT UP WITH A LAMIEBACK ?
