Iv The Hare That Lay* th? Easter ERK* Why do hares and eggs always ?gur? on Easter emblems? The religious sig nificance of hares and eggs at Easter time ls very misty, if not absolutely non-existent. Every year tales are told concern lng the use of eggs in solemu services all over the world in all time. Easter eggs have no historical founda tion,, and we wonder when the true history, of such observances will be written. Learning and leisure alike Seem to be unavailable in our day, and ao we mdstr,.h?ve this hash of old. fives'.-fables or nothing. The German story of the hare and the.eggs^h^amusjjpg.,^It^is^idjthat a family of strangers "had'foul?dX?ome in an obscure valley ^herenp??ltryah?" eggs were unknown till after they r^nref;when-somejppu^ and eggs ^followed, as a matter ot couiser-^Therlady^'^'f^fn^new 'family s wisbed to give ;&me children a tr?nt. ;; an3fr?wingt;fova^hlnit she got, had eggs ; ?jge<? l^M?ient-cpic?k *I?*-,a surprise. : Ihe'chiidren were, told to? make ?icV < Desfsforuie^occasi?n In tte pinewood; ; strh?ch was done, and wheirthe proper. : time came^th? ^usreniles. \rent to the \ bestr.and-found^n.them lovely eggs of beautiful colors;" 1 .

Since- Easter has become in th? nlihds of taerryinakers as great an OO cnsioh for'celebration as Christmas, there ha v? spruug up sundry, forms of diversion for the dny in keeping with its significance, yet by no means of a strictly religions character. In a mil lionaire's household where little folks rul? supr?me,, though grown-ups also will .enter,.into the pleasure, there will be an Easter tree. It can be of any kind, and" ticed not be taller than a shrub.'' On its branches are hung a number,of; dark green balls formed of several -leaf-shaped sections. Thes? are nih together at the top by a bright bit of baby ribbon, the ends of which hang down,loosely. There should be as many bulbs and floating streamers as there are persons to receive gifts. The bulbs cad be nude of any soft, green 'material.' the softer the better, as it lends Itself more readily to the purpose of protection, which is the sur prise of the affair. When nil are gath ered abo,ut the.tree each persou is given an end of ribbon.

No definite, action was taken, however, and 'another meeting will probably be held, this time at Clemson College, .when several of the residents of that section who were acquainted with Mr: Colhoun and could- perhaps offer some valu able suggestions will be consulted. Among these are ' Col. Robert A. Thompson and Maj. Aaron Boggs, who knew the great statesman. In this way the commission will be able to decide the many little points and traits necessaiy to know before thc statue can be made. RegBASt Blanks Must Be Signed. .Columbia, Special.-Attorney Gen eral Lyon has given Dispensary Audi tor West an important opinion re garding the use of request books in county dispensaries. The opinion answers a query submitted by Mr. West some time ago and shows clearly that while countv boards may object to the use of' these books on tue ground that it intereferes with busi ness during a rush, it is the duty of the board to see that the, law is car ried out and if not it is the duty of the dispensary auditor to report cadi violation of the law. Reports From Sheriffs. Gov. Ansel is receiving weekly ?e poits from the sheriffs in counties in which he has appointed contables.

A showing of. the salaries paid Lo .county officers.in this stat? appears below and will doubtless prove inter esting to people throughout the stale. Some changes were made by the gen eral assembly, though there were few er this year than usual.

Some are doubt less well paid, while others are poorly paid Of thev,various county officers per haps thafeof sheriff carries with it a larger salary in most counties. It ranges from $700 in Pickens county to $4,000 in Charleston county.
