L, Motte Thought to Hat* Been
Tkrm from Tnui.
Florence, Aug. 20.?Missing since
Wednesday night, the body of J. L.
' Motte, of Charleston, a special officer
of the Atlantic Coast Line police
department was found lying in the
ditch by the railroad tracks a mile
and a half north, of New Hope. Section
hands who found the body were
<4 unable to identify it. Word was soon
received from Charleston that Mr.
, Motte had been missinjg and the body
was identified by railroad officers
who went to the spot from Florence.
Mr. Motte*s neck had be*n broken
and his body had .every appearance
of having been badly bruised. It is
^ supposed that the officer was thrown
from the top of the freight train on
which he was traveling by some person
whom he was attempting to arrest.
Mr. Motte's pistol and his flashlight
were,found some distance from
the body. There were no >apers in
his pockets. Mr. Motte had not been
heard from since Wednesday night,
when he left here on a Charleston
bound freight train. That day he
brought two prisoners here from
Charleston. He was thirty years old
and unmarried.

be announced: "All those who have J
children they wish baptised, please

The clergyman, who was deaf, sup- 3

ESSAY ON MEN
Men are what women marry. ,
' They have two feet, two hands and
sometimes two wives.
They never have more than one
collar or one idea at a time.
Like Turkish cigarettes, men are
all made of the same material, the
only difference being that some are
a little better disguised than others.
Generally . speaking, they may be
divided into three classes: Husbands,
bachelors and widowers.
An eligible bachelor is a body of
vanity completely * surrounded by
women.
An ineligible bachelor is a mass
of obstinacy and surrounded by suspicion.
Husbands are of three varieties:
Prizes, surprises and consolation
prizes. ^
Making a* husband out of a man
is one of the highest plastic arts
known to civilization.
It requires science, culture, common
sense, faith, hope and chanty;
especially charity.
In these days of feminism a husband
is of no importance whatever,
until you have tried living your
whole life without one.
A divorced husband is better
than none at all. ,
It has 'been a matter of scientific
wonder that a soft, fluffy, tender,
violet-scented, sweet little thing like
a woman should enjoy kissing a. big,
awkward, stubby-chinned thing like
a man.?The Buzz Saw. J

i Room For More.
> i
Bishop Bratton, at a dinner in
Jackson, was genially patronized by
a millionaire. i
"I never go to church," the millionaire
said. "I guess you've noticed
that, bishop?"
"Yes, I have noticed it," said
Bishop Bratton, gravely.
"I guess you wonder why I never
?o to church, don't you?" the millionaire
pursued. "Well, IH tell you
why, bishop. There are so many
hypocrites there.".
"Oh, don't let that keep you away,"
said Bishop Bratton, smiling. "There
is always room for one more."?Detroit

The older boys were playing

some agates like his brother had

buy one with. The money was given
to him and he immediately wished to
go to the store to make the pur
chase. So persistent did he become
that father said:
"If you don't keep still about that
agate I will take those pennies away
from you."
"What will you do with the pennies
if you do take them away?" he
asked.
"Why, I'll put them back in my
purse."
"Will you take them uptown when

ATHLETES G00b STUDENTS
Columbia, Aug. 20.?One of the
finest records, ever made by a college
football team was scored by the
University of South Carolina eleven
1920 and it was not the defeat of
Clemson in the annual Fair Week
game either. In fact, the record referred
to had nothing whatever to
do with football. It was made in the
classroom and is therefore all the
more surprising in view of the fact
that college gridiron heroes are popularly
believed to be interested in
little else than that game while in
college. Indeed, it would not be going
too far to say that some of them
never get beyond the first semester
examination.
But the records at the University
of South Carolina disprove all this in
the case of the Gamecock eleven of
1920?the little team that upset all
the dope by walloping Clemson last
fall. These records, recently compiled,
show that of the twenty-seven
boyB who played in varsity and scrub
games last year all but one completed
his entire year of scholastic work
and passed his courses. The One man
who failed to keep pace with his companions
fell by the wayside because
it became necessary for him to hunt
a job in order to help bolster the
rapidly diminishing bank account of
his father.
When these facts were brought to
light at the University the other day
Carolina men over the state were as
pleased to hear of them as they were
to get the score of the Clemson
game a year ago. It was felt? by
everyone that no team in the South
i-an up a better score in its annual
nine month's conflict with King
Knowledge, the hardest opponent
any college man goes up against
while attending his Alma Mater.
Too Bigamy.
A man ?who married fourteen
wives in three years proved to be a
deserter from both the ?rmy and
navy. A man who can accumulate
fourteen wives in that time has no.
business monkeying with a war, anyhow.
How would he know a war when
he saw one??Los Angeles Times. !
