Not Good in the Pinches.?In a certain town In the north of Scotland there was an old road sweeper rejoicing In the nickname of "Barmpan," who was reckoned somewhat of a wag In his way and was exceedingly tenacious of his rights and proud of his position. It chanced that one day, while in the performance of his duties, he was Injured by a passing vehicle. During the period of his enforced absence from his duties another man was appointed to sweep his portion of the streets. In a few weeks, however, Barmpan was able to be out and about his duties again. Some days after he had resumed work a friend happened to meet him and ventured to ask how the substitute had performed his duties. ?1 " ?,J Domnon considerate W t*l"I , 9CIIU ? ly, "for ordinary, strauchtforrit, doonthe-mlddle-o'-the-street wark he was no sae bad, but for the ornamental touches roon' a lamp post he was nae guid at a'!"?Tit-Bits. Strictly Accurate as to tha Eyes,? William E. Gay. who formerly held an editorship with a New York dally, I tells this tale of a young: friend of his named Jack, also of the staff, during the cub days. On the editor's desk was a framed motto, saying, "Be accurate in all things." One day, when sent out to cover a speech, Jack turned in his copy reading with this statement in the lead: "Three hundred and ninety-nine eyes were fixed on the speaker." The editor tore his hair and haled the yor.ng man before him. "Sir," he demanded, "what in the name 01 ,11 that's holy did you put that absolutely foolish statement in your story'*' Never blinking an eye, Jack replied: "Why, Mr. Gay, there was an old man in the audience with only one eye.' Jack is now an editor himself in San Francisco. The Sleuth's Deduction.?The great detective eyed his visitor thoughtfully. "Ye3, Mr. Blake," sobbed the griefstricken woman, "many attempts? eight in all, I think?have been made on his life, but he was so strong and handsome that he foiled them all." She burled her face in her hands, and her shoulders shook. "You say your husband wears a green trilby hat and long ginger side whiskers?" asked the great detective gently. "Y-y-y-yes, sir!" stuttered the woeful one, wiping her eyes with her gloves. Mr. Blake thought sadly of the man he had seen by the river bank only that afternoon, and of the strange bundle the said man had borne. Then he bent gently towards the woman. "I am sorry, madame, believe me," he said softly. "but it Is too late! Your cat is dead!" Walking on Water.?Edward F. Marvin of the Sons of Temperance sa.ld in a recent address in Bridgeport: "It is easy to answer the opponents of temperance. At a mariner's bethel, for example, I once heard an opponent very easily answered. "The preacher was urging his sailor audience not to drink; he was pointing out to them the divine admonitions against drinking, when a shell-back rose unsteadily. " 'Captain,' said the shell-back, 'I don't?hie?believe everything that's printed in the Scriptures. Take that there?hie?walkln' on the water. I don't believe anybody can walk on the water. Can you?hlc?do it yourself?' " 'My friend,' replied the minister, "I can walk better on water than I can on rum.' "?Detroit Free Press. The Sinecure is Deed.?A man who gets a Job nowadays under the civil service has to work. If he doesn't he is fired, and a real man is put in his place. But It was not like tnts in me good days of old. Senator Bankhead of Alabama, tells the story of a man he met on the street In Washington years ago when civil service in the government had just been established: "Well," said the man. "I've been working myself to death for the last three months trying to get a civil service appointment, but you can bet . your life I'm going to take It easy now." ^ "Well, I suppose you failed through lack of Influence," sympathized the senator. "No," said the man. "I've gotten the appointment."?Popular Magazine. He Saw it all Right.?HousekeeperHow is this? You promised to saw some wood if I give you a lunch. Tramp?I recall no such promsei. madam. Housekeeper?The idea! I told you I would give you a lunch if you'd saw some wood and you agreed. Tramp?Pardon me, madam; your exact words were: "I'll give you a lunch if you saw that wood over there by the gate." Housekeeper?Exactly; that's just what I said. Tram|>?Well, madam. I saw that wood over there by the gate when I came in. The Cruelty of Realism.?John O. Johnson, the lawyer and art expert, was talking at a dinner in Philadelphia, about some of Sargent's cruelly realistic portraits. "Sargent once painted a Philadelphia woman," Johnson said. "and when the work was finished the woman's coachman called for it. "As the coachman was studying the portrait, Sargent said to him: "'How do you like it?' The man answered thoughtfully: " 'Well, sir, ye might have made it a little better lookin,' mebbe; but if ye had. ye'd have spoilt it.'"?St. Louis Globe- Democrat. He Was Going Far Away.?When a group of visitors was going through the county jail recently a burly negro trusty was called to open doors and perform other similar duties for the visitors.

WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGE8 Notes and Comments About Matters of Local Interest. Chester Reporter, June 18: The habeas corpus proceedings before Magistrates McLure and Castles for the custody of the two children of Mr. Ben Hood, of Commerce, Ga., the little ones being contended for by the father on the one hand and the relatives of their dead mother on the other hand, was finally disposed of Saturday morning, and resulted in a victory for Mr. Hood, who left on the evening train for his home, accompanied by his children Mrs. Nancy Darby, relict of the late Zenas Darby, died Thursday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Obe Roberts, In the Armenia neighborhood, after a critical Illness of several weeks, and was laid to rest Friday in New Hope graveyard after funeral services by the Rev. J. H. Montgomery, pastor of Chester circuit Jessie Johnston, colored, was arrested this morning: and committed to Jail on the charge of house-breaking and larceny. She Is alleged to have entered the dwelling of Mr. Norwood G. Smith, until recently a resident of Pine street in this city, and stolen certain household goods, which have since been recovered. Dora Fleming has also been arrested in connection with the case. Gaffnsy Ledger, June 18: One of the most daring things pulled off recently In Gaffney was the jail delivery of Thursday night when some person or persons forced an entrance into the city jail and took therefrom one, I Thomas Lockhart, a notorious offend-1 er. Lockhart had been notified somel time ago to leave Gaffney and inform-1 ed that if he came back to Gaffney I again, either drunk or sober, that he I would be sent to the chalngang. Up- I on the same plan that "a bad penny I %lways comes back," Tom showed upj recently and Thursday the police got! their hands on him, confining him to I the city Jail with the intention of send- I ing him to the chaingang. However,! when the officers sought for Thomas in I the early morning it was discovered! that some one had entered the jail I through a hole made by a prisoner in I escaping some time before, and after! gaining access to the building, a file! and saw made getting out of the cell I easy for Mr. Thomas Lockhart. When! last seen Tom was hitting the high-1 ball down Thlckety hill. No evidence! was Introduced to show that he had I his head out the window watching the! drivers roll, but eye witnesses say that I he was just about drowned. KEY TO RURAL DEVELOPEMENT. Build the School and Uplift the Com-1 munity. Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer: During the last few months, I have I been thinking a good deal of the pub-1 lie schools, especially In the rural dis-1 [trlcts of our state. Various phases of I the subject have been in my mind. I While I have not had access to official! statistics, I feel sure I hazard nothing! to say, in a good many particulars, I South Carolina is not keeping pace I with some of the other states in the I matter of educational progress. But it is not my purpose to Institute in I this paper a comparison to the dispar-1 agement of our own beloved state. It I is rather to call attention to what 11 consider the most important phase ofj public school education in our own I otato in common with other states; | viz., the rural school. There is no phase of our educational work that is so deserving of consideration as our "country schools." This statement is made advisedly for the following reasons: I. The rural school is an important factor in the solution of the larger problem of rural life. Without attempting to Justify the use of the term "problem" in application to rural schools, suffice it to say, the situation is sufficiently complex on account of a sufficient number of particulars to justify its use. It is generally admitted that many of the institutions of country life are on the decline. The country church is weakening, the ravages of time are erasing the glamour of the old time home that is now occupied by tenants, farms are left to the renter, the owners have moved to the city, many rural districts are well nigh depleted of white population, indeed there is a manifest general decay of country life. ; These facts . of manifest rural deca- ; dence and the increasing city population give cause for alarm and demand serious reflection. The cry: "Back to the country," is not without significance. It grows out of the realization on the part of thoughtful men of a serious condition that is confronting our people. Whatever other hypothe- ; ses may be advanced as the cause of | this rural decadence and consequent ; congested influx of city population, it is certainly true that a larger per i cent of most desirable country inhabitants are leaving their homes to secure better educational facilities for their children. This argues an almost universally felt need for improved educational facilities in the rural districts. It is to , the improvement of our rural schools that we must look for the betterment of social conditions in country communities, religious interests, and the resuscitation of country life. It is to this improvement in rural schools, we must look for the source of those forces of attractiveness of social conditions. educational refinement, spiritual and physical prosperity, which will serve to promote that ardently longed for and satisfying beauty of social and religious condition, educational and material fulness of life. To the rural school more than any other institution which functions for social, educational religious and material prosperity, one must look for the solution of this complex problem which today confronts us. II. The rural school has been largely neglected, or apparently neglected. The thoughts and efforts of our leaders of education have been largely absorbed in other phases of educational work. It is not meant that there has been intentional neglect. But throughout the country the rural schools have not been held definitely in consciousness. Other educational agencies have occupied first thought, and the inter est in the rural schools has been. If not mainly, largely incidental. The thought and effort of our leaders of education have been devoted largely to "teacher training." It may be true that the argument for teacher training institutions grew out of the felt needs of the rural schools?elementary schools; but the agency was so great that the ultimate purpose has been eclipsed. . The attention and Interest centered on this phase of educational interest has produced results: so that now we have in successful operation a creditable system of normal, or teacher training schools. But the establishment of normal schools does not necessarily improve the rural schools. Not only teachers must be prepared for teaching; but schools must be prepared to be taught. The rural school then must be brought into greater prominence. Upon it interest, thought and effort must be focused. In the rural school lies our vital educational problem. The solution of this complex problem is the solution of our multicomplex-country-life problem. III. Our rural schools in the elementary and secondary departments have made very little progress. While universities, colleges, normal and city schools have been making commendable progress, our rural schools have been making time only. Oh! to be sure, some little progress has been made In certain communities, where the term has been lengthened, the revenues have increased and teachers' salaries have shown symptoms of advancing-. But It needs no argument of an Aristotle, no eloquence of a Demosthenes, no geometrical solution of the Pythagorean theorem to demonstrate, that it has not kept pace with other educational agencies, and that it is lamentably wanting in efficiency, and vitality. All over the country comes this same complaint. The rural schools are not responding effectively and so satlsfactorially to the demands made of them. They are not meeting desired conditions of rural life. The shortness of the term, the failure upon the part of many parents to give their children the full benefit of even this short term, the excessive and needless irregular attendance of many other children, the lack of sympathy of the patrons with the teachers in their efforts to advance the education of their children, the lack of suitable buildings and equipments, the insanitary conditions, the isolation, the small salaries of teachers, the consequent untrained and inexperienced teaching force, the inadequate supervision, the congested course of study, in short, the universal Inefficiency? are all counts in the indictment which are truthfully charged against the rural schools. It needs no argument to show that we are up against a gnarled problem in our rural schools. The major per cent of our population is still in the country. If our country population is to be saved from the handicap of illiteracy, it must largely be accomplished through the agency of the rural school. If there Is to be an Intel ligent electorate qualified to solve the subtle problems of government to discharge the Intricate responsibilities of social, civil, moral and .religious citizenship; there must be a more efficient ruj-al school. The greatest foe to social, civil, moral and religious advancement is ignorance. The highest obstacle fh the way to the removal of this foe Is the inefficiency of our rural schools. The only way to surmount this gigantic obstacle and remove this menacing foe that threatens to destroy our country life and engulf the whole state socially, civilly, morally and religiously in a common ruin is to educate to point of concerted effort to remove the foul stigma of inefficiency from the rural school. This Inefficiency must be removed. The rural districts must be resuscitated and vitalized. The future of the state, its manhood and womanhood, depend upon it. In the rural school, we insist, is our vital educational problem. Here is the educational agency deserving and demanding the most Interest, thought and vigorous activity of our leading educators. Let them by a determined effort focus the attention of our people ?men and women, fathers and mothers, rural and urban, upon the solution of this rural school problem, to the solution of our greater country problem. Let It not be thought that this is a matter that concerns only people who live in the country. The prosperity of our urban population is, if not equally, certainly involved, and should be, if not equally, truly interested. The cities cannot live indenendent of the country. They draw many of their best citizens from the rural districts. The complexion of city life is conditioned on rural environment. So that we need have no array of city against the country, or "vice versa," when we make a plea to focus strategetic center of our educational interest. We are pleading only that our country boys and girls shall enjoy educational facilities and advantages equal only to their urban cousins. Of what advantage is it to smash an institution, a system, though it be but an inemcient means to a proposed end, to flitters, if we have nothing better to substitute for it, or to suggest to improve its operation? I hope it will not be regarded as an unpardonable presumption in me should I venture to offer a few suggestions?suggestions not at large, but in particular as applicable to the Bethany High School as a center or a rural school district. This Is a location that is most favorably situated as a rural educational center. It is a most healthy locality. It is thickly populated. It has fertile soil. It Is far removed from the temptations and vices of many other localities. So that It may be truthfully said, it is an ideal location for a rural school. But an ideal location is not enough to insure an efficient school. A densely populated district, good farm lands, are not enough to meet the educational demands of a community. Let me then make the following suggestions: (a.) Let the trustees and patrons of the Bethany High School call a meeting to consider ways and means of increasing the efficiency of the school, and invite their neighboring communities as follows: The Hero school, the Santiago school, the Dixie school, the Fairview school, and the Cross Road school. None of these is, I suppose, more than three miles distant from Bethany school buildings. (b.) Let some one make a talk setting forth the feasibility, the desirability, and the efficiency of school work thus made practicable by such a confederation with this end in view. (c.) That it is entirely feasible let the following facts argue: Bethany has an enrollment of from 75 to 100 pupils?say 75 pupils. Hero has enrollment of 45 pupils. Santiago has enrollment of..47 pupils. Dixie has enrollment of ....37 pupils. Fairview has enrollment of..30 pupils. Cross Roads enrollment of..25 pupils. Total 259 pupils. Bethany has an appropriation per month of say 8 months $80.00 Hero of say .. 50.00 Santiago of say 55.00 Dixie of say 50.00 Fairview of say 40.00 Cross Roads of say 40.00 Total per month $315.00 (d.) Then let the confederated district vote a three mill tax on themselves to supplement the county funds. (e.) Then let the entire district unite to equip themselves with such buildings and furnishing as will comfortably accommodate your children and tend to promote their education, (f.)

The balconies are twelve feet above the ground floor in front and securely supported by beams of wood and steel. The two at the ends of the hall are banked so that the view from the rear seats will be unobstructed. To facilitate quick emptying of the building, thirteen new doors have been cut in the granite walls, making a total of eighteen. Twelve of these are for the use of those who hold tickets to the balconies, and enable the balconies to connect directly with the street. The extra doors on the ground 1 floor are for use mainly as exits, since no difficulty is anticipated in handling all who enter through the wide entrance In the front and center of the building. Seats for the public are reserved only by sections, which are designated by numbers and letters. The larger blocks of seats are numbered and each numbered block is divided into three sub-sectlons^gettered respectively "A," "B" and "C." A tlcketholdcr who finds his piece of pasteboard stamped, for instance, "35?B" will find his seat among the 132 chairs grouped under that subdivision. These subdivisions include from forty-two to 217 seats, each and the most desirable chairs in each division will go to the ' earliest comers. The convention hall band will be in a stand erected over the main entrance. Space has been given for 200 musicians. A telephone with an electric ! signal light connects the leader's , stand with the desk of the chairman I at the opposite side of the hall, so that the latter may signal his wishes. The chairman's position is connected by telephone also with the six committee rooms, which have been fitted up In 1 the vacated company quarters at the two ends of the building. No expense has been spared to beautify the Interior of the hall. The principal task of the remodelers was the construction of a false ceiling ( which would improve the acoustic i properties by preventing the speakers' voices from being lost among the lof- ' ty steel trusses of the curved roof. This has been accomplished by suspending from the roof beams arched trusses of wooden framework which have been covered with bunting. The spaces between have been filled in with bunting so as to present an unbroken cloth celling which at a distance looks more permanent than its temporary use demanded. The celling Is cream colored paneled with gold. The construction of this false ceiling and the draping of the walls and girders and the Installation of the flags, pictures and party slogans which make up the interior decorations occupied fourteen men for more than a month and cost $7,000. Thirty-four thousand yards of cream, gold and white bunting have been used and 6,000 yards of red, white and blue. To sew these strips of cloth together six seamstresses drove their sewing machines eight hours a day for two weeks. Three hundred flags have ueen usea. The balcony railings are festooned | with national colors and the base of . each arch descending from the roof is the insignia of some state or territory. The speakers' stand is covered with red, white and blue, with the colors and arms of the state of Maryland banked in front. Most conspicuous of the portraits that adorn the walls are paintings of Washington and Jeffer- , son, each eight feet square and executed especially for this purpose. A feature of these decorations which the committee in charge is particu- ( larly proud of is that every yard of bunting used has been flreproofed. The flreprooflng preparation was mixed with dye and has not changed the appearance of the cloth subjected to this | process. Although the cotton cloth used in its natural state is very in- , flammable, the flreproofed bunting | will not blaze even when thrown into the fire. The cloth will char but only in places to which a flame is directly ' applied. The use of this fireproof bunting In a building constructed of stone, brick and steel has not, however, prevented the convention committee from taking other precautions against a possible fire. The hall is provided with an unusual number of exits, and the fact i that the main floor is on a level with ] the outside street is regarded as an- < other valuable factor of safety. 1 The New Perfection Heating Plate ce to all Aik to see this Stove at ( your dealers.
