"Covering" The First "Story" as to The
Apple Orchard
Because of the wide difference of opinion
relative to the numerical record of th??
1 apple consumption of our first parents, the
statistical editor sent the cub reporter out
to trail the truth to its lair in the garden
of Eden, back it up in a corner and choke
the exact facts out of it?with this highly
edifying result:
"It could be said Eve 8 and Adam 2, a
totai of 10; also that Eve aud Adam 8 too
total 16; but if Eve 8 and Adam 82, the
total would be 90. 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. But this is all wrong. Eve,

Reply to Mr. firaydon s uard.
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

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

orphanage is located about a mile outside

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 brought
. along four or live hundred pounds of sausage
too. and I hope this will help a littie.'
And it did.?Intellingencer.

locally, and its effect lasts for days?11
great advantage in many operations, which

comparison with cocaine, the local anesthetic
at present most used, quinine has three
! advantages?its effects last long, while
those of cocaine pass off rapidly; it hardens
the tissues, preventing hemorrhages, which
crcaine does not, and it is safe, whereas co"
caine, except in small doses, is a poison.?

! Valentine Day.
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

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.
