Hemphill is Succeeded b] Robert Lathan. The News and Courier has been mostablj xlited by Major J. C. Hemphill, formerly )f Abbeville County, for many years. Ma or Hemphill has few equals and no su jeriors as a newspaper man. He has a style that is his own?an indi riduality, without which no inan can be ?me a forceful writer. Major Hemphil s a man of ideas. He thinks. What hi irritee is not a ragout of the thoughts o Dther men, but the clean, clear ideas ol hi: own brain and fertile imagination. His editorials are always fresh and cris] lad brown and well done, and consequents MsU? digested, full of mental nutrition not flabby, half done, cold, clammy, lead leavy editorials which give the intellec lausea and stomach-ache, so to speak.

Now if Eve 81 an j 812 the total would be 893; then if Eve 81 1st and Adam 812, the totai jvould be 1,523; oi again, if Eve 814 Adam and Adam 81,242 oblige Eve, the total would be 82,056: - though it is admitted Eve 813 Adam,- Adam . if |he 8,131,242 keep Eve company, total 8*182,056.

Abbeville, S. C., Feb. 14,1910. Editor Press and is aimer: ? l)ear Sir?The card of Mr. W. N. Gray don in your last issue raises tho question t of the propriety of the action of the -Board of Trustees in uot ordering an election foi Mr. Visanska's successor by the xneetinjy 1 held on .Dec. 28th, 1909. -r The following facts are now submitted 9 for the consideration of those whose attention may have been called to the matter by s Mr. Graydon's card. 1 Mr. Visanska offered his resignation as a R trustee in December, after the advertisement of the meeting had been inserted in e a newspaper published here, and too late - for the election of a successor to be advertised twice as required by the law. His resignation was not accepted by the s- Board, which had no meeting till after the r December election, and there was therefore no vacancy in his case to be tilled. , In the meantime Mr. Visanska reconsid' ered his determination to resign, attended I- che meeting of the Board following the i election and participated in the reorganig zation of the Board. About tne middle oI January he agair tendered his resignation, which was laid i before the Board at its nest meeting, Jan 26th, 1910; it was then accepted, and, the vacancy being for less than one year, the e Board, as the law directs, elected his sues cessor, by a unanimous vote. With regard to the wisdom of the Board's j choice each is of course entitled to his opinion. From the establishment of the present school system in Abbeville Mr. Gary has been a faithful efficient member of the Board of Trustees and he has demonstrated his fitness for the position through J years of honorable service, e Respectfully, F. E. Harrison. 1 Two Fires Yesterday. ^ Yesterday was a strenuous day with the j fire company. JTwo calls were sounded. One fire e>ccured on Greenville St., out of range ol ' the he>se; it did little damage, Anothei ^ occured at the home of Mr. James Cox uear the Shops. The last fire was put out j before the company reached the shops. Yesterday was the fiist-timo it was necessary to use the new fire gong recently a erected on one of the poles in the publie I square, and operated from the telephone office. I The gong could easily be heard all over , the square. The ringing of this gong is a signal for some ene to ring the fire-bell. ? ?? 1 Death ot Miss Margie Calhoun. 5 Miss Margie M. Calhoun, who recently j spent a while in Abbeville, as the guest ol e Miss Mamie Lou Smith, died suddenly in j Atlanta last Monday night. r Miss Calhoun was a sister to Mr. Jno. C. Calhoun, of Atlanta, and Mr. Patrick Cals h?*m of San Francisco, Cal. She was ^ about 63 years old. The funeral services will be held today at 3 o'clock in St. Luke's Church, Atlanta. . Engineer Shannon And The Boys. ) When Engineer C. M. Shannon went tc i the postoffice the other morning he got a j letter that surprised him a little but at the same time made him feel good. It was from some of the boys at the Greenwood, s South Carolina, Orphanage, which is site uated on the Seaboard, and explains itsell so interestingly that no comment is necessary, save to say that Mr. Shannon is t) mighty proud of that letter, and it is ccrP tain that he will not forget to make himj self known to the boys. The letter says "I have never gof a chance to meet you ^ but hone to do so before long. Mr. Shan non, I guess you have seen us boys dowi s at the railroad when you go into Green. wood, haven't you? We found out youi name by asking the railroad hands. The orphanage is located about a mile outside 5 of Greenwood and we aire the boys that t are down at the railroad when you are going north. If you write back, just throw , it out the window and some of us boys will be down there. Mr. Shannon, I teil you i. we boys like to hear you pull that whistle t you have. You must pull it good for us when you pass the orphanage whether we CH.U UUWU U1C1C tV OCC J'UU Ul nut. 1 Pull it for the boys. I am going to try to see you in town some of these days. "P. S. The way you can tell me is by me pointing at myself when you pass l>y". Mr. Shannon will certainly not forget to pull that whistle for the boys"?Monroe Journal. The Index has not been able to find out exactly how Mr. Shannon answered, but the whistle is no longer with Mr. Shannnn. Is now on another engine.?Greenwood Index. Hog Killing Times. Mr. D. W. Greer, who lives just a few miles from the city, brought to the Old - Man, a hog liver last week. "Are you 5 through killing hogs, Mr. Greer," some , one in the office asked: "For this time, I am" he replied. "You see," he finished, "I had only sixty live shoats to kill this week, and they will be enough to feed you [ city folks on for a few days.

I Last Monday, Feb. 14, was Valentine J day. St. Valentine's day probably had its c beginning hundreds of years ago. t At first the order of the day was for all t the unmarried folk of a community to get s together and place in a large box or receptacle, cards with the name of each per- 1 son present inscribed thereon. t I Each person present then fished in the p "* al * aP o/min r*n?* box for a card wmi uiu uituicuiwv ' of the opposite sex on it. This person was c I to be his or her valentine until the year, i ended. ^ t The way St. Valentine's day is observed | k now is not far different. On Monday at a . the Graded School each grade provided 3 1 itself with a commodious box. The boxes 1 ! were eluborate affairs of colored papers,: 1 golden hearts, gaudy tinsel, ect. > Into this box during the day were placed , 1 - valentines. The valentines consisted of; t almost any thing from a red heart to an i < . elaborate, costly celluloid affair. Spooky, i I outlandish, weazened faces printed on 11 : poster paper illumined by sundry stanzas were a larger part of the stock in trade. JI 1 Smitten swains wrote love ditties to the 1' ' objects of their heart troubles and mailed j f ; them in the boxes. The teachers were j t > not forgotten. They came in for a share 5 of mixed valentines. The girls took ad- > vantage of this splendid opportunity to ? i throw a banter at their "steadies" and directed to them many heartrending verses t - and stanzas under and over clasped hands, 1 | cooing doves, billing pigeons, roses, ect. 1 At the appointed time a postmaster and 1: i r?i?rWa were named. The duty of the post- t master was to open the box, call out the 1 names on the valentines, and give them to * the clerks for delivery. This is the most t interesting part of the occasion. John r . sits in his seat, trying to seem un- 3 conscious, while his heart beats like a ^ . trip hammer, wondering if Mary at whom v r he has been making goo goo eyes, will 1 honor him with a lovelorn ditty; and < Mary is in about the same plight. I ; As might naturally be expected the most popular .girl gels more valentines ' . than she can carry. All the lovelorn, un- t happy 9wains laden her with their cards 1 ; full of doleful dove dope. The less fortu- 1 . nate, though is probably just as happy ? with a single valentine. And so the pupils are dismissed, some s in an ecstacy of delight, and some not v quite satisfied with the event, and some t not interested at all. The last kind, how- J ever, are always in the smallest minority i y Rev A- E. Cornish t Rev. A. E. Cornish, arch deacon, and assistant to Bishop Guerry, of the Episcopal church will preach here, next Sunday, Feb. 20th. He is going to mako Abbeville his home in the future and will minister to our brethren of the Episcopal faith. Ho will ? preach here every other Sunday until he moves-after which time the arrangements are not definite. r Mr. Cornish is a man of pleasant ad- j dress and of ability, and his coming here ' is looked -forward to with the greatest ^ ,l pleasure by the members of the church. ' i He will be an acquisition to the city as f. well as to the church he is to serve. t r ' i: Clemson College Exhibit The Clemson College exhibit will beat Abbeville on March the fourth anil fifth. v The President of the Farmers Union has ' Wn in wwioKtinmloiifd with the Clemson , i authorities and lie has made arrange- t wents with them for tho aliove dates. fc A trip to the ear will be sure to help any j. . one who expects to farm. There will be j men with the car to answer any questions n ; which the public desire answered. There will be speciallists' to lecture on impor- ^ , taut topics to the farmer. The exhibit will consist of results of de- ^ monstration work done at Clemson. 1 n All those who can find it convenient to do so should be sure to visit the car while ii it is here. a DESPITE DOCTORS AND AUTOS. a A Miss Alma Gambrell in a Smashup- v c< 1: ?

Memory ExerciseSimplification of the multiplication table ir rather a discarding of a part of the muliplication table, which seems unnecessary o them, is under consideration of the chool authorities of Philadelphia. rhey say that the table as all of us lave learned it, up to 12 times 12, is oo long and contains too many useless iarts to memorize. If there is to be any criticism on our way >f memorizing the multiplication table, it s not enough table rather than too much ablot^. You learned the table so easily that you ihti sorry that your teacher did not require ou to learn it up to 20 times 20, instead of 2 times 12. It would have required very ittle more work to have done this. Memory has no limits, no metes, no >ounds. Its capacity varies directly as he exercise of its function, then why not ?xerclse the memory? Especially when t concerns such an important matter ae he multiplication table. 'Such a curtailment of the table as promised by the authorities of Philadelphia nads back to the use of the abacus as nacticed by the Chinese. John Chinaman, o be a complete scholar, must memorize !5,000 characters, and yet he cannot tell ou what liv& times six are without the id of his ever present abacus. As a result of such stupendous memory raining, John Chinaman possesses the nost capacious, marvelous memory of any nan on the globe. He keeps his books, if le is a merchant, in his head; he keeps he run of his stock in his head; ask if lie las a spool of cotton No. 40 white, and he vill tell you immediately, without going o look, whether or not ho has it; he does lot have to take stock at the end of the :ear, he knows at any time, instantly, just vhat he has, how much he has, and the alue of his stock?and yet he does not mow the multiplication table, simply be;ause no one has taught him that it might >e profitable to memorize it. We do not do enough of memory work n our schools. Of course, the learning of he multiplication table up to 20 times 20 vould require very little time, but in the natter of memorizing good literature we .re deficient. No doubt some verses or some rich prose election flashes on your memory no^ rhich you memorized years ago. The ask of memorizing them was small, and 'ou only wish now that you had memorised more when you had the opportunity. The pupil may forget the words of what ie memorizes, but the thought will stick o the end of his days. mrnmrnammm WEST END. ? 'ersonal Paragraphs and News Items Contributed by Miss Ljly Templetcn.
