(Copyright 1910 by Rev, SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 1013. ?olden Text: "Cain and Abel." Gen. IV: 1-15. Golden Text: "Whosoever linteth lils brother is a murderer," I John III: 15. 1. Verse 1-Which are more desir able, largo or small families? 2. Should every mother, with truth, be able to say from her heart at thc birth of each child, "I have gotten a child from the Lord?" 3. Verso 2-In the beginning they seem to have specialized in farming. Would it be wise if farmers weje to do that at this time, and why? 4. W'hat is the advantnge in giving every boy a trade? 5. Verses 3-4-What is the evi dence that worship to God is a uni versal instinct of tho ince? 6. Of what use were sheep and vegetables to God? 7. Ought children to be trained to worship and to sacrifice to God, re gardless of their dispositions? 8. What made God accept the of fering of Abel and reject that of Cain? 9. Suppose Abel had been the gar dener and had brought to God his first fruits and Cain had kept sheep and had brought to God the firstlings of bis flock, would lt have made any difference as to the way the offerings were received? 10. Verses 5-7-Which class of men generally show the greatest re sentment, and why-those who are justly blamed for their sins or those -wht) nre blamed unjustly? 11. What sin would you say Cain had been guilty of up to this time? 12. Does all wrong-doing lmuly that sin, like a beast of prey, ls crouching at the door, ready to spring upon the sinner? Give your reasons. 13. Wi mt are the conditions for controlling sin, or of being controlled by it? (This is one of the questions which may be answered in writing by members of the club.) 14. Verse 8-What ls the first A Stamp Story. Six years ago a little newspaper on the edge of a Florida swamp pub lished a brief notice that the govern ment 'would redeem at one-fourth their face value all cancelled post age stamps returned to the post office department at Washington. A prominent post office officer tells of the widespread effect: "How people could credit such a statement ls a mystery. But they did and the notice was widely copied. Eventually tho story was syndicated through hundreds of country news papers, and one department ls still suffering from the results. "Letters of Inquiry and express packages of old stamps overwhelmed ?the office at Washington, until we finally had to employ five or six ex tra clerks to tell tho would-be re deemers the truth of the little tale. ? It was a rather disagreeable job, too. Some of the letters were pathetic, and I hate to think of the number of people who were disappointed, all be cause some crack-brain editor pub lished that Idiotic notice. "Even now, and lt is at least six years since the notice came out, we receive letters and stamps at least every week from some sequestered spot that has just heard tho news." A baby would rather go to sleep than listen to a lullaby. A MESSAGE TO WOMEN Who are "JU8t Ready to Drop." When you are "just ready to drdp," when you fee! so weak that you can hardly drag yourself about-and be cause you hav< not slept woll, j ou get up as tim out next morning as when you went to bed, then you noed help right away. Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma lone, N. Y., saying: "I was in a badly run-down condition for several week?, but two bottles of Vlnol put mo on my feet 'again and mnde me strong and well. Vinol has done me moro good than all the other medicine I ever took." If the careworn, haggard men and Women, the pale, sickly children and 'feeble old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas' example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong. It ls a wonderfully strengthening And invigorating body-bullasr. and wo MU it under an ironclad guarantee of satisfaction. You got your money back ii Vinol does not help you. JT. W.

Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 16.-One man was killed and another seriously wounded In a fight at a lumber mill at Council, Ga., to-day. James Cop per and James Felder engaged In an altercation in which they came to blows. Felder used brass knucks, and thinking he had vanquished his opponent, turned to walk away, when Copper drew a pistol and fired two shots, the second passing through Felder's heart. Millwright Robinson, whose cheek was grazed by the first, shot, thought he was being attacked, and, seizing his gun, shot Copper through the jaws. Copper is now In jail at Hom ervllle. The cause of the quarrel ls not known. Treasury to Issue New Nickel. The design of the new nickel, the creation of J. E. Fraser, an artist of New York, has been accepted by Sec retary MacVeagh, of the Tronsnry Department, to replace the five-coat piece that has been In circulation for many years. George E. Roberts, di rector of the mint, will order Its coinage and lt probably will be In cir culation shortly after February 1. On one side of the new coin is the re production of the head of an Indian. At the top ls the word "Liberty," and at the bottom ls the year 1913. On the other side appears the figure of a bison, closely associated with the history of the Red Man, and the de nomination of the coln. Wounded Negro Spit Out Ball. Sumter, Jan. 17.-Ed. Richard son, colored, performed a feat yester day which ls seldom seen save In side shows and at vaudeville perform ances. Richardson was shot with a pistol while he and another negro were examining it, and a minute later he calmly spit out the bullet and walked off to have a doctor ex amine and dress the wound whKm was inflicted. The ball entered Just below tho nostril and was stopped against the roof of his mouth. Dr. Birnie, who attended him, stated that ho would probably suffer no seri ous effects from the wound. Tho shooting was said to have been acci dental. The man who fl?tters others may he iiifdlflert in doing it, but thc ?,an I who flatters himself has little excuse for the waste'of time. + CLEMSON'S ORIGIN. * (Clemson Cor. The State.) In your issue of January 9th Dr. J. W. Daniel, of Charleston, is quoted as stating that he ls responsible for Clemson College; that lt was he who set Col. Simpson on the track of the agricultural idea when Col. Simpson waa ready to urge Mr. Clemson to give his property to Wofford College. The friends of the late Col. R. W. Simpson have thought, and still think, that in the conception, estab lishment and development of this great .astitution there ls "glory enough to go round," due credit be ing given to Senator Tillman, Col. Simpson and others who have helped to shape the destiny of Clemson Col lege. If Dr. Daniel has played his part, by all means let him have such credit. But the friends of the late Col. Simpson object decidedly to tho statement that Col. Simpson had ever proposed to divert Mr. Clemson's pro posed gift to the State from the orig inal purpose of the giver. Surely Dr. Daniel, a long-life friend of Col. Simpson, has been misquoted or else his memory must be at fault. Those nearest Col. Simpson say that even in the early 80's Col. Simp son held a long-cherished hope that he might some day be able to serve In the uplift of the agricultural in terests of the State. He would 'have needed, therefore, no suggestions as to advice to give Mr. Clemson-even had Mr. Clemson needed such advice as to the purpose of his gift. Col. Simpson was never known to claim that he suggested to Mr. Clem son the Idea of leaving his property to tho State for the founding of an agricultural college, for Col. Simpson was familiar with the facts set forth In the following statements (matters on record), which the writer thinks controvert the statement ascribed to Dr. Daniel: "Mrs. Aaron Boggs went to see Mrs. Clemson, * * * Mrs. Clemson told her that both she and Mr. Clem son Intended to leave Fort Hill to the State for the purpose of erecting an agricultural college." * * * Extracts from the statement of Rev. Hugh McLees follow: "I was Intimately acquainted with the Clemson family from the year 1868 to 1874 inclusive." "Mrs. Clemson told me she desired to see an Industrial institution erect ed upon the Fort Hill tract of land. IL was in litigation at the time, but she considered it her property. Mrs. Clemson reiterated the same thing to me when she was living at Fort Hill, after it had been sold and bought In by her or her trustee. Mrs. Clemson tried to accomplish this purpose dur ing her life-time. In fact, from my personal knowledge of the matter, the idea of erecting an Industrial In stitution at Fort Hill originated with Mrs. Clemson, and Mr. Clemson, In all his talks about the matter, refer red to it as 'we,' 'our,' etc." "Mrs. Clemson talked to mo a great deal about the benefits that would accrue to this State from the establishment of such an Institution and she was much interested in see ing it accomplished." "Mr. Clemson continued in his pur pose after his wife's death (in 1 875) with this difference, that after his wife's death he proposed to give the bulk of all his property with Fort Hill for the accomplishment of this purpose. "Mr. Clemson told mo Mrs. Clem son had made him promipr? that he would never sell or alienate Fort Hill or put it beyond where the State could get lt for agricultural pur poses." (Mr. Clemson) "told me he had willed all his property to the Stale for the purpose of establishing such an institution and that tho papers were in the hands of Col. Rion." Upon Mr. Rlon's death Mr. Clem son made Col. Simpson his attorney, and, In a new will, modifying some what tho old one, made Col. Simpson his executor. Col. Simpson drew up this will. Something About Watch Signs. Nearly all the watch signs, proba bly 90 out of 100, have their hands set at 8.18, but comparatively few people know why this is. It is no accident. W. K. Washburn, of New York, was painting a sign for a jeweler of that city when the news of the assassination of Abraham Lin coln, April 14, 1865, was received in New York, and the Jeweler ordered the painter to paint ui>on the dial tho exact timo when the fatal shot was fired, namely 8.18, and 30 lt has con tinued ever since. Whenever you see a sign after this recall to yourself that lt points to the fatal moment. Four million parcels were sent through the parcel post during the first week of its operation. The man who gambles for fun ought not to expect anything ciao out of lt. . -m - It takes a good pugilist or a poor minister to put his maa to sleep.

Lawrenceburg, Ind., Jan. 16.-A serious break in the levee early to day flooded a large portion of the lower part of this city and drove many of the residents from their beds for safety. The break was discovered by a levee patrolman, who gave the alarm, and the city was aroused by factory whistles and bells. The court house, churches and schools are filled with refugees to-day. Several thousand sacks of gravel were thrown Into the break and the danger of a disastrous flood, lt was said, has been averted.
