MORAL FOR THE MONEY-MAD Hope of Becoming Millionaires About on a Par With the Washer woman's Delusion. Prof. Warren II. Beidler of Bethel. Pa., in a recent address made the striking assertion that the American people, money mad, taught their chil dren how to earn a living, but not how to live. "There is no viler, and there is no vainer ambition," said Professor Beid ler to a reporter, "than that of the American boy to become a millionaire. What percentage of our boys do be come millionaires? It would take a good many decimals to work that out, believe me! "The boy who sets his heart on a ^ million fares likes the washerwoman who set her heart on a cross-eyed aero naut. " 'I hear you married that cross-eyed aeronaut last week?' said a friend. " 'Yes, I did,' replied the washes woman, as she rocked back and forth over her tub. "Yes, I married him, and I gave him $500 out of my buildin' association to start an airship rec tory.' " 'That so?' slid the friend. 'Where Is he now?' " 'I don't know,' said the washer woman. 'I'm waitin' for him to come back from his honeymoon.'" A While for a Time. A Cleveland school teacher writes that she asked her class what was the difference between the expres sions, "a while," and "a time," says j the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nobody seemed to have any Ideas on the sub ject. Finally the light of intelligence was seen to shine In the eyes of one little boy, and the teacher called upon him to save the intellectual honor of the class. "I know, teacher!" he cried eager ly. "When papa says he's going out for a while, mamma says she knows he's going out for a time!" That's one way of looking at it Absorbed. A college professor noted for his concentration of thought, returned home from a scientific meeting one night, still pondering deeply upon the subject that had been discussed. As he entered his room he heard a noise that seemed to come from under the bed. "Is there someone there?" he asked absently. "No, professor," answered the in truder, who knew his peculiarities. "That's strange," muttered the pro fessor. "I was almost sure I heard aomeone under the bed." HTTP! nnwinPTTi. niSRlSf! MAI,ARIA quickly cured by that wonderful remedy Kllxlr Balxk.

' ~ FOR COUGHS AND COLDS EXPLAINS ABOUT NO STATE TICKET WHY THE SOUTH CAROLINA PROGRESSIVES HAVE NO STATE CANDIDATES. ' A LETTER FROM B. L. DUNK The Provisional National Committee man Wrote to a Citizen of Cowpens, Answering That Question.?The Letter in Part is Given. Columbia.?Just tyhy the Progres sive party Is not putting a state ticket ^ M/NTfAmKnr rtoHATIfl] m me iieiu iu wc iiutcuwi election seems to be a question which is troubling a good many Bull Moose converts. The following letter which B. Sherwood Dunn, provisional nation al committeeman of the party in South Carolina, wrote to a citizen of Cowpens, answers the question: The letter reads: "I beg to thank you for your fa for of the 5th inst., and for the in terest that you show in the launching of the Progressive party in this state. We had a very successful organiza tion meeting with 40 earnest, well known men present, each and every one a working unit and not one of them present from motives of curios ity or idle interest. To my idea such a meeting has far greater value than an attendance of 400 men with none of them particularly in earnest. We receive daily from every quarter of the state assurances of adhesion and loyalty to the new movement and we are glad to get this assurance from you. "We did not place in the field a complete state ticket for two reasons: First, because in starting this new Progressive movement we are deter mined and anxious to present it to the public as an example of high ideals, high purpose, and with the first chief purpose that the people shall rule; to do this we felt that it was primarily necessary that the party shoul^ be "regular" in its methods of procedure and this would necessitate that we should follow the primary law in this state and hold a primary for the nomination of candi dates. This we did not have the time to do, ana any omer cuuise would have been irregular and we could properly have been charged with being political pirates. "Se6ond, the Democratic primary has already been held and you and I and almost every other white voter in the state bound himself by oath to support the nominees of that pri mary and we could not properly, hon estly or legally vote for the candi dates on any other ticket than that of the regular Democratic party in this state, and in putting out an inde pendent ticket we would be offering a bait to seduce the voter from his proper allegiance and legal duty and that is not the class of voters with which we are seeking to build up this new movement" The Kershaw Qocnty Fair. The premium'list of the Kershaw County Fair Association has been mailed to the citizens of the county. This is to be the third annual fair, and is to be held on th^ 7th, 8th and 9th of November.

The State Agricultural and Mechan ical Society has made Tuesday, Octo ber 29, college and school day. Schools in Jasper County. The schools of Jasper county are beginning to open, and many of them will use new buildings. Consolida tion has been carried through success fully by two districts, the Gillisonville and the Great Swamp districts, and already the Gillisonville building is oc cupdied. It is one of the most beau tiful three-room school houses in the state, and excellent work is being done there.

Abbeville.?The Baptist state con vention will meet in ADoevme De cember 3 to 6, inclusive, and the members of the Baptist church here are making arrangements for the en tertainment of the 500 ministers and laymen, who will be In attendance. The Conference of Ministers will be held one day before the meeting of the convention, which will be on Mon day, December 2. The proceedings of the convention usually reach an end on the morning of Friday, and the delegates leave that day. The Baptist church has appointed an appropriate committee to take in hand the entertainment of the con vention. That committee consists of Dr. C. A. Milford, chairman; J. M. Lawton, R. B. Cheatham, J. S. Stark, A. B. Cheatham, W. D. Barksdale,, A. w' Harnett J. W. Nichols, W. H. Mc Call, R. C. Philson, J. A. King, T. A. Putnam, J. E. McDavid, W. P. Wham, E. C.

There will be a sub-committee to look out for homes for the delegates, a sub-committee for printing, one on transportation, one on arrangements of the church and grounds and the like. The proverbial hospitality of the city of Abbeville will be put upon its mettle by the coming of these Bap tist delegates to the town from every county of the state will come a num ber of the leading men, for the Bap tist convention is largely composed of laymen, rather than preachers.

It was learned at Sumter that It had been the intention of the South Carolina Western Railway officials to inaugurate a regular schedule of trains on its new road between Sum ter and Hartsville by the 15th of this month, but owing to the fact that there was still about eight miles more to be surfaced which would require about two weeks with weather condi tions favorable and a full force of handB at work, it is probable that the commencement of the service on the road will have to be delayed for about two weeks more. The initial sched ule will be arranged so that trains will operate between Sumter and Hartsville morning and afternoon, go ing both ways, so as to make connec tions with trains going north in the afternoon, and with those going south In mnrntno- P.nnrKsp.HfmH will also be made by this schedule with Dar lington and Florence both morning and evening.

FARMER NOW IS SUFFERER This Leak, Though Very Small, Should Be Stopped at Once, as it is Unfair to the Producers of the Fleecy Staple. I Columbia.?A new member of the coming general assembly Is going to introduce a bill making it a penal of fense to misgrade a bale of cotton by any buyer, putting the fine or pen alty not less thaii $25 or more than $50 for fine less cost, to go to the owner of the cotton misgraded. He proposes to follow the grades established by the New York cotton exchange. The necessity and argument for the measure is that by the loose way that cotton is now marketed, causes a Iose to the growers of between $350,006 and $500,000 on a crop of the vol ume of last year, and that this Iose arises from the fact that little or nc grading Is done by the buyers from the growers, and an average price h paid for a lot of cotton, say 25 balea or in the terms of tarde, "10 1-2 cent* all around;" whereas if the lot waf strictly graded, the average price would be higher. After thiB cottor goes into the hands of the dealers or mills, particularly in the dealers hands, 11; is 'graded strictly, for he sells it on grade. In other words, ir all cotton trading, except from the farmer to the dealer, the question o! grade is strictly maintained. A difference of even 1-16 of a cenl amounts to a small sum on a single bale, but when the total crop is taker into consideration, the aggregate rum into many hundreds thousand dollars all of which belongs to die farmei who grew it. Desperate Negro Captured. Bamberg.?John Carter, the negrc who severely cut Tom N. Rhoad a1 his place near Hunter's Chapel re cently was arrested and brought tc jail here. ' After cutting Mr. Rhoad in three places the negro escaped and it was reared mat ne naa gui away.

Learning that this was the fugi tive, Mr. Copeland kept him undei a close guard until a party of men oould reach there from Bamberg In 'an automobile, w.hen Carter was turn ed over to the sheriff. Mr. Rhoad'e condition at this time is serious. Governor Commutes Sentence. Columbia.?The sentences of T. P.
