_
London.?Genius is no respecter of j
parsons Indeed, It knocks more of- v
tan at the door of the poor man's cottage
than at the entrance of the rich T
nan's mansion.
Oar own generation Is just as fruit- n
ffel as any that axe gone In examples s
of genius in humble life. Of our greataat
living poets, William Watson first .
aaw the light In a Warfedale farm- s'
house, and John Masetleld, the latest
atar in the poetical firmament, found s
his first Inspiration while working in o
the fields. J. M. Barrie was born in fi
a Klrriemur cottage, at least as bum- ?
Ma as the roof under which Thomas a
Oarlyle, stonemason's sou, entered the |
world; and H. Q. Wells, son of a pro- ' ^
ttssional cricketer, served behind a
draper 8 counter before he diaoovered p
the gold In his pen. I
It would be an easy matter to name C
at least a score of living authors of (o
repute for whom life has opened at
least as humbly, without taking Into ''
account such poets of undoubted. If ^
obacure, genius as A. O. Williams. c,
hammerman; Joseph Sklpney, the "pltr j,
man-poet," and others, equally gifted, tl
who have earned their dally bread by
narry work and farm labor. , w
It is, however, among musicians that a
we find the most remarkable examples i'T
of talent In unexpected places. A1
lesandro Bond, the world famous singer,
was working as a bootmaker's ap- ^
prentice less than thirty years ago.
and when he abandoned the awl to
seek a fortune in his glorious volca, tr
ha was supported by friends, poor like ei
himself, who subscribed a few francs
each per month. and was so poor that r>
he was compelled to tramp eighteen !
miles a day, to Pesaro, and back, for '
his lessons
Caruso, at the same time, was wield- (p
lng a blacksmith's hammer; and was v
serrlng aa a private soldier when a |
.passing officer discovered the wonder n
of his votoe. Miss Stella Carol, when t
she was similarly discovered, was ^
singing on a Hampstead pavement In '
the chilly duBk of a winter evening; .
M. Qlorglni, the famous Italian singer, 0|
when he was hawking fish In the R
streets of Naples, and Herr Rontman d
when, as a huckster, he was taking fr
around vegetables on a wheelborrow. ai
m nouBseuere, me King or Prench
operatic singers. was. not bo many ^
year* ago working as a blacksmith,
"paaalng rich" on three franca a day; s.
Mile. Cavalierl was flrst known to lo- l
cal fame as the prettleet flower seller
in Rome, and her wonderful voice c(
was first heard In Paris cafes, where tl
her reward was a few coppers a night
?Just as, long years earler, the great a
Christine Nilsson, "Queen of Song,"
witched coppers from the frequenters ^
of Swedish faira by hor nightingale
notea; and Miss Evia Gwyn's voice Jc
was "discovered" when she was "pourlng
out her soul In blithesome song" c?
in a baker's shop at Pwllheli. U
And similar romantic stories are nl
told of many a musician whose name ^
today Is famous?from Herr Pleldler,
the PollBh violinist, who was dlscovered
by a wealthy Welsh lady in a tc
Tvrolese cafe-chantant, to MIsb Marie h
Hall, who hut a few years ago, was
reaping a scanty harvest of pence by
playing In the streets. a
Art, like music, calls her clever chil
dren from the most unlikely placet*, t)
There are half a dozen living police- ?
men who have proved that they can w
ply a skillful brush, from Mr Jones b
of Leeds, whose work has been hon- '
ored by the Royal academy, to P. C.
Rushen of the city of London force, J'j
one of whose clever canvases may be
seen In the museum of the Guildhall.
Walter Marshall, whose normal work w
Is the repairing of electric tramcars,
has a picture accepted by the acad- w
emy. Nor must we forget Samuel
Hanoock, the London postman, who a
some time ago gave tui exhibition of (|
his pictures at the Dore gallery; or -y
Mr Hk>xall, a Somerset house porter, |
whose clever painting has won much c
admiration. y

3r. Franklin C. Wells. In The Human L
Factor. .
Remove all rugs, heavy draperies
md curtains; open your house wide j
o the air and sun. Both are enemies jj
o disease germs. c
Annihilate the fly and mosquito? ^
icreen against them. The fly often r
omes direct from carrion or excre- t
ent and deposits all kinds of 0
>utrescent matter and dangerous
lisease germs upon your food. He R
s a proven medium of communicat- ^
ng disease and should be extermi- v
lated. Killing the fly is a good ^
hing to do. ut it is better to pre- w
ent his coming by destroying his ^
ireeding places which abound in ^
aanure and filth.
The mosquito is also a serious Q
aenace to health. In the Southern v
tates the anopheles (malaria-bear- a
ngl mosquito causes about 5.000
eaths a year from malaria and
00,000 cases of Illness from the n
ame cause.
Pay particular attention to the
election and care of food. Beware
f unripe or over-ripe fruits. Secure *
resh. wholesome vegetables. Deal
nly at markets which are Kept clean (|
nd where the food lb properly
andled t)
Do not let refuse food stand about;
ave it collected immediately after
ach meal and put in a receptacle for
arbage which is kept tightly closed. ^
lave this receptacle emptied and w
leaned daily, and disinfect at least
nee a week. ^
Have the refrigerator cleaned at
?ast once a week with hot water
ontaining a little soda. Be carefvil n

Finley Peter Dunne ("Mr.
)ooley") has a rare faculty of clothng
ideas in virile homely speech,
ompelling as it is quaint. Recently
e touched upon the present-day disepute
of the drinking man and conrasted
the public man of today and
f yesterday.
Doubtless the grape-juice incident
uggested the subject and the bumplous
declaration of Colonel Rooseelt
in favor of buttermilk impelled
Ir. Dooley to sallies of wit, but
whatever the occasion we recognize

rinking; rather they are desirous
f becoming known for sobriety, in i
iew of an overwhelming sentiment :
gainst the consumption of liquors.
Pause just here and think.
Only a few years ago the stateslan
and his toddy, the less ambiious
official and his flask, were acppted
as commonplace. No one was j
reatly shocked. The sturdy farmer
ailed on the county officials and
ghtened the bonds of support by ,
ae bottle; the business man took a
ip at noon, and the side boards held
le narrow-necked decanters.
At fifty our men were red-faced ,
nd lear-eved.
Today the sternest disapprobation
i shown the man who drinks. So
holly repugnant to present concep- \
ons is the drink habit that Colonel
oosevelt went nearly across the 1
mtlnent seeking vindication in a
bel suit of the charge of drunken- j
ess.
But though this is true there is a
ractice which is very steadithily in- j
reasing. The beer habit among
aung men, the wine habit at social
atherings and the ubiquitous punch j

We decry danger there. We do !
at Invite a per capita comparison of
quor consumed now and that conlmed
fifty years ago. We are grate- !
?r for the crvstalized sentiment I
?ainst alcohol and the higher stand- j
rd set up for men, but unremitting ]
iligance. only, will keep alcoholic !
average in such relentless disfavor ,
lat the youth of the country will j
ltd an environment free of the most J
isidious foe to tlecent living and (
lat clear minds and dauntless purases
may work for the development
the nation.
Not by ordinance, nor legislative ^
lactment, but by the teaching and
ving in the home, in the shop, or '
flee, on the street, can we best put;,
quor under the ban.
A Thought for the Week.
If it be hard to establish merely ;
ie fair chance to make a living, j,
hat shall we ay of going farther <
id ask that all shall have a chance |
> enjoy the beauty of life? Yet there j
no difference. The going farther i1
ill follow naturally. Give the poor!'
ie equal and fair chance for the ;
ving, and the chance for leisure and .
jpreciation would follow. Our South I;

Itetter by far that all the money |

Our public institutions must be so
rganized and so oodueted as to merand
receive the undivided support
id patronage of the entire popula>n,
as well as to serve with equal
Tectiveness all members of the commnity.
Community wealth must be used

in some quarters to separate
le interests of the city from those
r the town is short sighted and only
>mporary. More mature consideraon
and only a little experience will
low its folloy.
Some radical changes may be
ecessary to bring our community
icillties up to the high standards
emanded, but when these changes
ave been made and when the new
rder of things has become estabshed,
this community will be able

Let us but under stand one anther

What We Pay For Schools.
Pageland Journal.
Below we give a list of states of
the Union with figures opposite each
one showing the amount spent for
each child of school age in a year.
In this there is the astounding fact
that South Carolina is right at the
bottom, and also that while we pay
$3 per child other states are paying i
all the way up to $32. i
Washington, $32.
California, $27. I
New York, $25. I

Nevada, $25. I

Do you wonder that the South
is slow in taking her rightful place
in all the lines of progress when she '
is so far behind in the education of ,
the children who are the men of to- t
morrow? I ,
Very often small tax levies are
voted down in these bacwanl states I
because it costs too much, but if
other sates can pay nine or ten times
what we pay, why can't we do more.
When our people see the need of education
as some of the other people
voted down in these backward states
see it, bond and special tax elections
will be easy to carry.

Dog Days. q
New York World. te
Dog days, so-called, began Thurslay,
July 3. Also the annual query: u*
Why "dog" days? ftjJ
The name goes back to a mistaken
notion of the Romans. The great a*
tieat of the month that Mark Anthony
decreed should be called July
in honor of Julius Caesar started a
uipersitltution that accompanying
iiscomfort, disease and disasters ?
tvere some how connected with the
fact that the star CanlCUla ("Little
Dog") between certain dates at that
tea son rose and set with the sun.
The Romans accordingly gave the ba
name dog days to the period between
July 3 and August 11, and abused
:hem cordially in speech and writing. n"
That the dog star had nothing to at
lo with the ease is proved by the be
'art that with the subsequent 8a
