We have before us a handsome copy of "The Lucky Bag," the an nual published by the graduating class of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. On the staff of this admirable and much ad mired volume we find that "The New South" 1B well represented, the staff being composed as follows: Editor in-chief, J. W. Quinlan, Georgia; P. L. Carroll,.business manager, Louisi ana; A. A. Merrick (Bub), assist ant business manager, South Caro lina, (Walhalla); art editors, E. S. R. Brandt, New Jersey; S. R. Canine, Texas. The remainder of the staff includes ten men-Kansas 1, Geor gia 1, Pennsylvania 1, Missouri 1, Iowa 1, Ohio 2, Washington 1, In diana 1, District of Columbia 1. The South is represented by five on the staff out of a total of fifteen. The sketches contained between the covers of this novel publication, the 1909 edition of which, though limited to a few hundred copies, cost in excess of $8,000, are amusing and interesting, and the volume will be handed down to future generations with pride by those comprising the graduating class of this great institu tion. We reproduce here the sketch of Walhalla'^ representative: Anson Angus Merrick, Walhalla, South Carolina. "Bub." "My often rumination wraps me in a most huuiorous sadness." Shakespeare. An Indolent, sorrowful looking man who manages to gel just about three times as much pleasure out of ?the routine life at the Academy as any of the rest of us. His sad vis age, quiet speech and slow manner Isms seem to suggest disappoint ments which happened long before we young fellows were born. But don't Judge too quickly; this ls nei ther an object of sympathy nor a student of theology, but a clever, In. terestlng chap-bright as a dollar who ambles around disguised as a funeral for the purpose of "La pou dre aux yewx." A man of unusual experiences, who tells just enough of the wonderful things which have happened to him to arouse our curi osity over hosts of hidden escapades. Shows his ingenuity in the fussing Une by making his rendezvous just on the other side of the Executive Mansion, so that he can do his walt ing in the little room where the two ducks hang. So devoted is he to the business interests of this hook that the jingle of "Lucky Bag" dol lars has been music to his ears. How often have we seen him, seated on the last four vertebrae, feet stretched out, cigarette In hand, the look of "miles away" on his face -a picture of absolute repose. "The less I have to do, the less I want to do." Of Interest to Farmers and Me chanics. Farmers and mechanics frequently meet with slight accidents and inju ries which cause them much annoy ance and loss of time. A cut or bruise may be cured in about one third of the time usually required by applying Chamberlain's Liniment as soon as the Injury ls received. This liniment is also valuable for sprains, soreness of the muscles and rheumat. lc pains. There ls no danger of blood poisoning resulting from an injury when Chamberlain's Liniment ls ap plied before the parts become Inflam ed and swollen. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J.

Columbia, June 19-Governor An sel to-day granted a parole to Bert Stokes, of Greenville, under circum stances which are somewhat out of the ordinary. The papers In the case show that Stokes was convicted seven years ago, in his absence, of violation of the dispensary 1 iw, and given three months In a sealed sentence. His attorney says he was convicted at a I special term, being out on bond, and not knowing of the special session. [ Solicitor Boggs later agreed to let a new trial be bad at the next term of Court and nol pross the case, in structing that Stokes in the mean time be allowed to go free. With the coming in of a new Clerk of Court, the old sealed sentence was fished out of a pile of papers last May and Stokes nrrested, the Solici tor having forgotten to do as he promised regarding the new trial. Stokes ls said now to be feeble and broken in health, having suffered two strokes of paralysis. In view of all of these circumstances, the Gov ernor granted n parole. Pointers from Poplar.
