Greeting Irom Old Friends.
I'rof. William H'>od. who In so well known
[> the people of this Slate. and especially to
tie people of Abbeville County, lias been
peU'llns; several weeks in this and other
ountl'.K, visiting his children, and iucidentliy
meeting with old friends wherever lie
oes.
The lite and labors of Mr. Hood, if written
tit, would read almtwt like fiction, or a draft
,poa one's iitiauluatlou or good wishes.
By a struggle in- was enabled, as a poor boy,
i L-radnate at Krskine College about fifty
?*ars hsjo.
He ultervvnrd taught school in Newberry,
here be inet Miss MeCaughran, who alter\-ird
became Ins wil.%
About the year 1<*>S he was elected Professor
I Chemistry in Krskine Co 11 ego, which posi011
he tilled foru quarter ol a ceutiiry.
During the suspension of the exei eises of
le College, alter the war, he was appointed
tate Treasurer for the "upper division."
t that time South Carolina had two Slate
rensurcrs, one for tin1 "lower division" and
ne lor the "upper division." During his
icumbeiicy oi tiin ofli<:e of treasurer <>i the
pper division, the ollice of the sep.irat-* diislons
was abolished, and lie was then ina'ie
easurer lor the whoio Slate. No one ever
uestioued the ability, tin- elliclen-y. or tlie
iteyrity of the first treasurer, who held the
mds oi tile whole State.
When the exercises of Erskine College were
>sutned he returned to his position in the
nlltge which position he i.tid until about
>91.
Tlie next year he was elected to a professorup
in one of the institutions of learning in
le city of Washington, where his salary for
ine mouths was SI,500. Instead ot S'JOO as at
ie place where he had labored so lout;.
From Washington Mr. Hood went to IV-ir>w,
Kla., to take charue ef the Higu School
i that city.
After doing a good work there he became
litor of the Courier-Informant, which
osition he neld for a year or more.
For the last lew years he lias felt able to
>ur from his labor, and Is now eniovimrthe
ldlan Summer of a well spent lile, freed
oiu ull the cares ul money-getting, or breadinning.
In the younger years o! his life, Mr. Ilood,
ke many others, bad a bard light to Keep
ie wolf from tbe door. He bad a large
mlly, and be was ambitious to educate
icb and ail of them. Jn those days edncaon,
or tuition, was not free, aa It is today,
be parent then must either pay for the
lucation of bis child, or it went urn ducated.
0 pay tbe tuition fees alone of eight chilren
rt quired money, to say cotblng of shoes
3d other wearing apparel.
How well this labor ot love was performed
y him and bis good wife may be best told by
reply to us wbich Mr. Hood made in referuce
to bis children :
MR. HOOD'S CHILOKKN.
In reply to your request, I will state tlia
ie following are tbe names and residences of
y children, named in tbe order of their
:es :
Mrs. Augusta L., wife of K. P. Blake, of
reenwood, !S. O. She lias (i thildreu?the
dest a son, now In South Carolina College.
Mrs. Maggie E., wile of K. C. Siuari, ol

leui by a first'marriage 10 l)r. .J. II. Wil*ms
of Ocala and three by Stuart. Her
dest daughter having graduated in Sumerville
Institute at Bartow, is now a pupil
1 special work at L)ue West Female College,
uart was Irom Bennettsviite, S. C., and is
real estate agent.
Hoberi J. Hood, Atlanta, Cia. He married
iss (J iliie Hall, and has lour children. He
is been In the Cotton States, Bethany and
ardware Co. lor a number of years.
William lv. llood Is practicing medicine

daughter oi Wade Cothran,ol Bradley, S. C.,
id has one child.
JoiiQ K. Hood, a lawyer at the Anderson

South Carolina and Georgia. They nave
vo children.
Mrs. Susan H., wife of Judge C. A. Boswell
Bartow, Fla., at: I has. one child. Boswell
fiom Alabama and Is a lawyer.
William Hood.
In addition to supporting all these chll eu
In their infancy and childhood Mr.
ood tackled a llle lusurance policy, which
is been the rock upon which so muuy
rtnnes have been wrecked, and upon which
> many hopes nave met bitter and sore dlsjpoimraeut.
Not so with Pro essor Hood,
e had a policy which would pay during
in if iIih Insiiriil should live lor l wt-ulv-flve
liar*, and neshould pay the premium every
gnr. 'J his premium Mr. Iiuod paid, and at
le expiration of the twenty-live years,
leven years ago.) lie received ?4,000 in cash.
After this came the appointment to Washigtou
and aderward to liartuw, Fla. lie
in ouly saved itie $1,000 of insurance, but,
y economy, he saved something while he
as teacher In Washington and Bartow.
Smcc he moved to Bartow, a tiroiher ol
ln>. Hood,a Mr. McCaugbran of Newberry,
ted and left her SH.nilO.
Mr. Hood's Insurance, his earnings in the
.tier years, aud Mrs. Hood's legacy puts
lese good old people on velvet, with never
care or a thought ol the question ol a home
r something to eat or to wear.
After a long and tuiihlul struggle in the
uttleoflife, thee* good people have every
-ason u r gratitude to the (jiver of every
jod aud pei feet gift. They are in good |
eallb. Tb?-ir cl'.Hdien are all living, and
ictr lives and charai lers are such oI which
ie paieuts have ihe greatest reason to be
roud. All the sous are In good positions,
nd. as Mrs. Hood expressed it, her sons-ln
iw are as ,joi.d as U she had selected them
Iii a period cif forty years of mtrrled life,
either death nor any great ullliction ban
mie to this household.
To round nut Hie story, It Is hoped that
lany years are yet in *to"e tor Mr. atul Mrs.
[ood. This editor knew t.hoiri when their
jn had scarcely rliioa above tbe horizon,
n<] during "it these years uo threatening
loud ever rtimmpassed ihem. Now, when
ielr sun is tar down t he Western slope, may
. linger long to oast their shadows si ill
uth?*r to the east, while Imhttng their paths
> glory In the scenes beyond Hie stars.
Prof. Hood when he came to Abbeville on
lis visit registered at the Eurtka, where
e was trie to he with friends, and where tie
'ould not be embarrassed. lie came Saturay
evening. Worshipped with the As*ointe
Reformed Presbyterians on Sunday,

rst knew Mr. Blake ho was In the classes of
:ie college. lie was glad to know of Mr.
lake'K great success In Abbeville, and to
now that he was held in such high esteem.
Ir. Blake, like Mr. Hood, is rich in the good

t rlcht* and honor he has a share. Of
is other old friend. Mr. W. T. Bradley, Prof.
[<>od was not less pleased to know of his
igh stand with the people of Abbeville. He
ras triad to know that he Is one of the
lain slays of the Associate Reformed Presoy;rian

Among other old students and good friends
f tormer days in Abbeville, Is Mr. W. W.

Reports from all sections over the Southern
States represent a short crop, yet the price
noes down?down?down. Why it this? Is
It heavv receipts?gain tiling In cotlonjor a general
"combine," agulnst the former? We
fear it is mostly the latter as the world at ,
lar^e puts their "own price" upou this their
only money crop, and manipulates all to suit
themselves and against ttie farmer all of
which should have long since taught the
fwrmlng class a lesson. But they will not
take hoed to their old ways though all the i
world comblue against, them. Tbey could
control their cotton crop if they only would, (
and this year above all others is their tfme? ,
as the crop v. ill be short?the world's supply
not equal to the denixnd and the price must
go higher, but If they glut the market by
Kciittii' it will ootne too late for them. Better
judgment and more brain work will give
Ihein more money and a happier time In thin

Charity of Speech.
Unkind words do as much harm as
unkind deeds. Many a heart has been
wounded beyond cure, many a reputation
has been stabbed to death, by a
few little words.
There is a charity which consists in
withholding words, in keeping back
harshjudgments, in abstaining from
speech,.if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of slander,
but does not repeat it; listens in silence
and forbears comment; then locks the
unpleasant secret up in the very depths
of the heart. mience can sin iuumm ,
it is a speech that keeps a story alive
am! lends it vigor.
. It is the kimi and gentle heart that
charity abides with the peacefulness
of a love. There it makes its home,
and by the word withheld and the
kindly words outspoken, we have the
sign of the dove of peace nestling in
the heart. For kind words are like
"apples of nold in pictures of silver."
Fitly spoken, words fall like the
sunshine, the dew, and the summer
rain ; but, when unfitly spoken, like
the frost, the hail, and the defending
tempest. Therefore by our words we
proclaim what we are.
If the average man could do as
much work as he thinks he can there
would he iillle demand for labor savimr
machinery.
The man who for^-ts easiest has the
clearest' conscience.

And their number tell to me."

"Rightly spoken," said the Czar,

Tell tbe number If you can.

Quickly answered he the Czar:

Call that plow a man, and then
Three the number of the men."
Flashed with anger then tbe Czar.
And bis eye gleamed like a star,
