Interesting Letter from Barnwell Aiken. Off Fisherman's Point, Guantanama, Cuba, . January ii, i-ji^. Dear Daddy?I don't know what you are thinking about me for not writing you sooner, but our plans have miscarried. Instead of reaching here last Saturday as was expected we won't get in until tomor row, Saturday, one week late. We left Hampton Roads the 4th and started for the Southern Drill grounds to meet the fleet, but instead of meeting the fleet we met a storm that caused a great deal of damage and the supposed loss of the U. S. S. Mayrant, a torpedo boat which was with us at the time. There were two tarpedo boats with us and both were lost for three days. We picked up U. S. S. Pat terson which was with us. and she sig nalled that she was out of bread; had no wireless at all, but was ready to proceed to Cuba, as her boilers and engines were in good shape. We supplied her with three days supply of bread and some fresh fruit. Nothing vet has l>een heard of the May rant and the search has about been given up, and it is supposed that she was broken In two. ( While the Idaho pitched and rolled and shipped plenty of water, still we came through o. k. and none the worse for out rough treatment. You remember the chest you were sit ting on just inside the door when you came to see me off last summer, well, that deck was flooded with, four inches of water. Where the guns come out the side the water came in in great volume. The Suarter-deck, where you came aboard, was ke this most of the time. Either one side or the other went under water every tim< she rolled. We weren't able to set oui tables to the deck for two days, and had to eat "on the fly"?sandwiches, coffee and plenty of cake and fresh fruit. Taking all Fn all we were pretty well shaken up and I thank God that we came out alive. Ex cept for the Mayrant we are all safe, and If she did go down, I suppose there will b?' a collection taken up among the fle6t or something of that sort for the survivors' wives and children who were left destitute. It is reported that the Idaho has been granted permission to go to New Orleans for the Mardl Gras In February. I don't know whether that Is true or not, but if it Is we will all have a mighty good time, a? last June every one asked us to come back again. I guess there will be the usual routine down here this year as it was last?coal ship, trial speeds and the like. Jan. 12,1912, 6 a. m. Well, the "mud hook" or anchor has fal len and the mail orderly will leave in half an hour. We heard as we came in that the Mayrant had been found and was on her way to Guantanama now. So outside of losing a few boats, six men lost overboard from the different ships?none from the Idaho?the fleet is in good shape. Well, I want to get this off, so will pay good-bye. Much love to every one. Hope every one is wen. Your devoted son, Barnwell Aiken. Don't send off to other towns for yonr steam Fittings when yon can get what yon want cheaper right here at home.

The Head, Heart, Hands And Feet Neod ( Traning Education is a art of drawing out or dev eolping tbo faculties of traning human be ings for the functions for which they were destined. Man is either reducetion for good or evil, by "everything that he experience from the cradle to the grave, therefore, we should strive to get such an education that would cause the wourld to be made better because of our being in it. We shou d educate our head, heart, hands and feet. (1) We should educate our head in order that we might be able to under stand and solve the problems that might confront us. (2) We should educate our h<mrt so that we might be instrumental in winning souls for Christ. (3) We ahould educate the hands so that we might be able to do with all our might whatsoever our | hands find to do. (4) We should educate | our feet to walk in the etaigt and narrow ; path that leads earth to heaver. We should strive to trein the children \ while they are yeung for good, in order j that they might be useful ih fostering the j cause of educition. The chiof educators are the home and neigeborhood, and they should have a good Chrlstirn influence so that the child might be taught the fear to do evil. It should also be taught self-control, love of truth, obedience and to reverence what is good and great, because it is then when they form their habits and all but the mere outWard form is beyond the power of direct teaching for they have been im bibed though the silent influence of ex ample. It is true that the school and professson al educators only play a part along with othei s influence, but it is very imoprtant part which every one seould try to obtain. There is something for each one of us to do, and in order that we might be abe to do it as it should be done, we should strive to get a broader knowledge of it, and a thorough understanding of how it should be done, so that we might be able to pre form it in the best way possible. There is no limit to the degree of intelli gence that is desirable in any class of people, but for a vast majority of the race there is a very small degree obtainable. Therefore it should be considered what is most needed, and we should try to accom plish that aim. The day is growing more enlightened and it demands better service, and we should strive to repair ourselves to meet the requirement. So let us not be content with a small bit of learning, but let each of us strive to go onward and upward until we too shall have better prepared ourselves to do service for the Master. It has been said by wise men of old, "If you covet learning's gase, climb her heights and take it." In ourselves the fortune lies. Life is what we make it. Minnie N. Beaty.

Spartinburg Jurnol, Wasington, Jan. 16?when Congressman Wyatt Aiken arrieved in Washington the entire delegation from South Carolina was here in force. Mr. Aiken had been detajned at home a brief spell, due to sickness in his family. One of the "Washington cor respondents, seeing Mr. Aiken in un office talking to a friend, strolled in and began his query for news this way: "Well, judge, what do you know?" "Don't call me judge," returned Mr. Aiken. "All the judges come from Georgia and oil the colonels from Kentucky." "I'm a little averse to titles," continued the congressman, "but I'll have to tell you what I told a man at the Dewey Hotel re-, ceitly.

FIKE. The Unostentation Peanut So long as the American people had sense enough to consume *36,000,000 worth of peanuts per annum, real poverty will never come to the south side of ola Vir ginia. Of course, the pauper-raised peanut of East India has no better tast than to com pete with the only original article, which is found at its best near Petersburg. And what a best that is! Of all known nuts, the unostentatlons goober is the richest in food value. Scien tists say that it contains more tissue-build ing properties than any of its fellows, and, ? * - A ? ' - AL X-i. I ~Urxr, Willi t lb more WJ LI1W puilll. lUiiuouco iuoiu for less money. From the standpoint of economy and gastronomy, the peanut Is the banner-bearer of all that class of food which the human being has eaten from the time the pome "quadrumanous, arborel, hairy ancestor" swung from the treetops of Africa until this dao and year olsilk hats, automobiles and pre-digested breakfast foods. Even so, the peanut deserves the prize, for 350 of them cau be bought for 10 cents, and, when bought, 73.6 per cent goes for food, while only 26.4 is waste, and of the edible portion 80 per cent is fat-forming. No wonder, then that this modest nut, when cooked, candied,salted,sugared, and sold, reaches the enormous value of $36,000, 000. If one touch of Nature makes the whole world kin, certainly the peanut is a touch that makes men, pigs, chichens, cows, all appreciate at one time the real,delights of that neversatisfying tidbit?the peanut. ?Bichmond Times-Dispatch.
