As we sit behind our school desk,
As we seen the faces o'er,
We oan see a picture painted
On the face of all before.
As we glance at stalwart Harry,
So erect and brow so olear,
Seems to us we soe a speaker,
And an audieuoe full of ob*"
Just across sits earnest W ,
Deeply pious, always brigut;
Looking at his peaceful countenance,'
Seems a preacher conics in sight.
Aud behind is stupid Thomas,
Try i UK b iii il, one step to climb;
Then the pioture of some promise
Runs aoross our wandering mind.
Tbere is little Diok, so funny,
That he oannot well restrain;
But we still oan see the pioture
Of a man with finest brain.
Tbere sits Jackson, gazing outward,
At the farmer in the field ;
And we think the hoe and Bhovel
Are the scepters he will wield.
Further still, sits solemn Amos,
Al way H prudent, without grudge;
Then the picture comes before us
Of a wise, judicious judge. ?,
Many more we see before us
That are wont to give us joy ;
But, alas! We see another
'Tis the listless, aimless boy.
He is sitting near the others,
Book part closed and baok half bent;
Thore we see the sad, wan picture
Of a precious lifo misspent.

Agriculture in the Common Schools.
Tho Board of Education of Rich
mond county, Ga., has decided that
agriculture shall be taught in the
rural schools of that county. This
ia a proper step, and the wonder is
that some kind of an effort has not
been made before now to teach in
the schools at least some of the
principles of the noblest of all call
ings. Dr. J. B. Ilunnicutt, editor of
the Southern Cultivator, has written
a text book entitled "Agriculture in
the Common Schools," and this will
likely be thc book that will be used.
Wo are inclined to think that if more
attention had boon paid to this Btudy
iu the schools in the past wo would
not now be confronted with Buch a
serious problem as is furnished by
the exodus of the people from tho
farms to the cities and towns.-An

lt Beauty Only Skin Deep ?
Beauty is only skin deep, but tho forces
that create beauty are as deep as the
fountain from which they How. When tho
blood is charged with impurities beauty
disappears; wheu the blood is puro
beauty blossoms in face aud form. . Uy

A Georgia Profit Writes to Mill Men.
Alf Truitt, a Georgia cotton au
thority, has issued the following
open letter:
To tho Cotton Mills of Georgia
and Alabama : I don't know what
your policy is just now towards this
cotton market, nor do I caro to offer
advice, but will venture a prediction,
since it has been my privilege to
travel over the cotton belts of Geor
gia and Alabama.
I Sud that in some sections 90 per
cent of tho cotton has been picked
and in other sections 95 per cent and
still others the cotton fields have
a.ready been sown in wheat, and
you will see cotton selling at 13
^pents before February 1 and as scarce
in March as it was last May. I have
tried to bo a bear on the crop, but
find that I am wrong, and you will
see that tho bears will have the
boars or the bears' wool on their
horns "in short," as old Uncle Fed
used to say, and the butt-headed
bulls that haven't horns will have a
bear down butting the stuffing out of
him.
Now, cotton millers, don't delay if
tho counsel be good, no matter who
gives it. Very truly your?,
Alf Truitt.
A little girl tells what she knows
about King Solomon in the following
essay : "King Solomon was a man
who lived ever so many years ago,
and in the whole country in which he
{governed he was the whole push.
Cing Solomon built Solomon's tem
ple and was the father of all the
Masons He had 700 wives and 200
lady friends, and that is why there
aro so many Masons in the world."
RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
Infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makos it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC ls a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try lt, lt will not aisap

Jacob A. Riis, io a recent address
before the King's Daughters, spoke
of Lie old mother iq Denmark, who,
at that very hour, he said, was read
ing ber Bible and thinking of her
absent son. The influence of^ his
mother and hi? wife, Mr. Hiis de
clared, had been the root of all tho
work he has accomplished.
There are many mothers ou this
side of the water whose loving
thoughts and prayers follow their
boys into the big world, but it does
not always happen that the boys re
spond so loyally. The yoting for
eigner who came to this country so
many years ago to struggle with pov
erty, and all the hardships which
beset a stranger, kept the thought of
bis mother as a shield between him
self and evil. And when those days
of trial were past and more subtle
temptations came to the brilliant and
rising young journalist, bis mother's
influence inspired bira to do work
that would help others instead of
contributing solely to his own ad
vancement.
Many of you boys believe with all
your hearts that you have "tho best
mother in the world." There is only
one reward you can give these good
mothers, and that is .to mako suoh a
record as Mr. Riis has done, living
pure and noble life from which
there is a oonstant overflow of help

Whose Place will You Take?
I read of a boy who had a remark
able dream. He thought that the
richest man in town came to him and
said : "I am tired of my house and
grounds ; como and take care of them
and I will give them to you." Then
came an honored judge and said :
'I want you to take my place. I am
weary of being in court day after
day ; I will give you my work."
Then tho doctor proposed that he
take his extensive practice and let
him rest, and so on. At last sham
bled old Tommy said : "I am wanted
to fill a drunkard's grave; I have
cometo see if you will fill my place
in the saloons and on tho streets !"
This is a dream that is not all a
dream.

Th? House of Representatives of
Fifty-Elgbtb Corroas, z~y~ the W?sh
iugtou Eveutng Star, of a reeeut date,
oousleU of 380 members, au increase ol
29, due to the reapportion meut of th?
State? under th? last census. Of tiri?
number 120 are new men, and a great
many of the now comers are compara
tively youthful, whose experience tv
statesmanship thus far ba? been brief,
oonflned to service in their State Legis
latures. Other? come fresh from th?
farm, the manufactory, the field of tradt
and commerce and from the learned
professions. Tho biographies of tho lit
stranger? show that this House will not
lack for men ot ability. There are som?
proud records of personal achievement*
in the brief stories of the lives of these
men. In the list will be found self-made
men who Lave fought their way to dis
tinction through euormout obstacles, a?
well a? those who have found the path
to fame made easier by affluent olroum
stauoes, education aud i nil uenoo. Thc
Star thus writes of Wyatt Aiken, om
immediate Representative lu the Fifty
Eighth Congie?*?:
wifAlT AIKEN.
The name of Aiken is an old and hon<
o red one in the House of Representa
tives. For ten years the Third Dis Hot
of South Carolina wa? represented by D.
Wyatt Alkea. Now, after a lapse ol
years, the son. Wyatt Aikeu, "Democrat,
of Abbeville,'' comos to AU tho seat that
wa? bl? father's. Mr. Aiken come? tc
Washington well equipped for a legisla
tivo oareer, although this is the first pul?
Ho office he has ever hold. He ia fully
acquainted with Washington, however,
having spent much of lils time here
when his father was in Congress and
having since been a frequent visitor. Ile
ls known to the men who have been in
Congress for long uerms, to the oldei
correspondents and attaches of the
JI ouiio, and is not hy . ny moans strange
to Congressional customs and pai l i amen
tai y procedure.
The new Representativo Aiken gives
his vooatlon as "farmer," and doola roe
he has always beeu suoh. He was boru
December 14, 1808, ami was reared on ?
t ai t lu Abbeville county, South Carolina,
In the seotion now embraced in Green
wood oounty.- He received a common
school .?ducatiou atCokosbury and after
ward lu Washington, where he came
when bis father waselooted to the House.
While in this oity Mr. Aiken acquired
shorthand, his efforts in this direction
quiokly b oaring fruit, for in January,
1884, he was appointed official court re
porter for the Second Judicial Ciroult oi
his native State. A year later he waa
appointed to a similar position on the
Eighth Circuit, a position he ha? since
held. Notwithstanding his connection
with the courts in this official oapaoity,
Mr. Aiken did not relinquish the title of
farmer. Ho took theu and takes now a
keen Interest in everything pertaining tu
agrioulturo, aud ls sure to provo a stanch
friend to the farmer while in Congress.
Whon the war with Spain was declared,
the martial spirit of his forefathers took
possession of Mr. Aiken, and ho volun
teered his services In tho bumble oa
paoity of pi i vate ia his home company,
the Abbeville Volunteers, which was
musterod into the Borvice of the United
States at Columbia May 10, 1808. The
company booamo known as Company A,
1st South Carolina Hogiment of Infantry.
It was not long before Privato Aiken wa?
appointed a battalion adjutant by Gov
ernor Ellerbe, and during almost the
entire time of his service Mr. Aikeu
acted as regimental quartermaster. He
was musterod out of service with ht?
regiment at Columbia, November 10th,
1808.
Previous to his recent eleotion to Con
gress, Mr. Aiken's noareot approaob tu
publie office was as delegate to several
State conventions. At the eleotion he
received 5,082 votes to 58 cast for his Re
publican opponent, John Scott.
The territory embraced in th?
Panama Republic, recently cut looSe
from Colombia, has only 32,380
square miles, and is only a little
largor than South Carolina, and has
a population of only '285,000. Of
course it is not able to stand alone
and will have to be propped up by
the bayonets of tho United States,
This government will soon get tired
of that job and will simply take the
whole thing, including thc canal, into
its possessions. That will bo the
conclusion of the whole matter.

How we Cctoh a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted while
remaining inactive for a while in an un
comfortable room or a cold draft und be
falling to sleep under like conditions.
But most cold? are caught while Bleep
ing too cold at night. Deep sleep causes
sluggish circulation, which renders tho
system susceptible to change of tempera
ture. To prevent colds, sleep under
pleuty of cover. To eure colds use Ry
dale's Elixir, it lessens the severity and
shortens the duration of n cold ana pre
vent? pneumonia bronchitis and con
sumption. J. H. Darby, Walhalla; The
Seneca Pharmacy, Sennoa.
The Boll Weevil and CoHon.
Dallas special of November 12 to the
New York Sun: More thau COO delegates
and about 2,000 lay visitors were present
at thc opening snusion of the National
Boll Weevil Cotton Convention io day.
The most uonapiouous figure was lames
Wilson, the Secretary of Agricultura in
President Roosevelt's cabinet. Mr. Wil
iloo delivered the principal address of
day. Ho said that he had come to Texas
moro than a week ago to look into tho
cotton situation. He did not hesitate to
oall attention to the defeotive methods
of Texas farming aa he had observed
them and to declare that under them all
the money in the United States treasui-y
oould not exterminate the boll weevil
pest. He advocated better methods
Sarticularly deep ploughing. The United
tates Government, Mr. Wilson said, had
Bpent during this year more than $100,
000 in Texas to help the farmers. He |
declared that the boll weevil pest oould
not be exterminated. He said: "You
are here to-day in tbo interest of the
cotton orop of the Upited States. As
far as my observation and Information
go, we cannot exterminate the boll
weevil pest, and you cannu; keep it this
Bide of the Sabine and MinMssippi rivers
either. It is going across.'"
