tumorous! Jfpartmnit The Volunteer.?Patriotic stage beauties In England have been picturesquely active as volunteer recruiting officers, says the New York Evening Post. One of the most famous of modern music hall dancers, according to an account which must be accurate because it comes straight from Germany, appeared the other day at a meeting In Camberwell and offered to kiss every man present who would volunteer for Kitchener's army. A number of young: fellows answered the call at once and claimed and received the promised reward. Then a hideously ugly and repulsive creature came forward. The lady looked at him in dismay. "For heaven's sake what do you want?" said she, shrinking away from him." "A kiss/' said the object. "Have you thought?have you thought," stammered the dancer, "of what you are doing?of what a cruel and frightful thing war is?and that this is the most frightful and cruel of all wars? And are you ready to go Into it?" "It is my dearest wish to serve my "ountry." ' Do you realize that they will shoot at you with 42-oentimeter guns?that they'll almost certainly hit you?that you'll very likely come back a cripple?'' "And that I may never see a pretty girl again. Yes, I realize all that. Yet I am resolved to volunteer." "Well, then." And G y D s shut her eyes and bestowed the kiss. The fellow marched straight Into the enrolling office. Ten minutes passed, and out he came again, rushed up to the dancer, flung his arms about her waist and gave her & hearty smack on the lips." "Villain, monster!" she screamed, "unhand me?you've had your kiss already." "Quite right, miss," replied the fellow, unabashed. "Quite right. And as an honorable man I was bound to give your kiss back to you. You see, they wouldn't accept me in there." ^ -* a Al?l PKon w>Q o tiot mm 11 lhi.~uiu uuvu walking along the street one morning, and one of his arms was in a sling. Mrs. Horton, who had often employed the old fellow for odd Jobs, happened to meet him and asked: "Why, Eben, have you met with an accident?" "Yes, ma'am," replied Eben, "I did. I'se done up now to' sho.' You see dis arm in a sling, don't you?" "Yes, Eben," said the woman, sympathetically. "What has happened?" "Well, ma'am," the old colored man answered. "I'll be 71 years old nex' harvest I done seen lots of trouble in my day, ma'am, but by the grace er God I miss de Ku Klux, an' I miss de whitecaps, an' I miss the vig*lance committee, an' de regulators, an' now, ma'am, here in my old age dem waxinators kotched me." Not His Money's Worth.?When the ball players are down south in the spring the old boys do not take any chances with their pitching arms, letting the youngsters prove their energies instead. One day at Little Rock, where the Detroit team was playing an exhibition, old Red Donahue, who in his day was the sharpest-tcngued man in baseball, was tossing over and letting the Little Rock batters hit at will, to the great delight of the spectators. "Oh, Red, you're easy, easy, easy," shrieked one very wild fan wno was getting on Red's nerves. "I'm not half as easy as you are," retorted Red. "You paid 50 cents to see me do it." The Boom Town.?The Washington Star relates that, praising America's growth, James J. Hill said: "America's growth almost robs the Tin Can story of its hyperbole. "A tenderfoot visiting the boom town of Tin Can, said to the mayor: " 'Why don'i you get out literature about this locality. Why don't you get out booklets, illustrated with official photographs? Is it possible you haven't ever had the town photographed?' " 'Stranger,' said the mayor, 'Tin Can progresses so gosh-almighty fast that there ain't no camera quick enough to snap her.'" Disappearing David.?"Goliath was thrown quite off his guard when David stipulated for a battle in the twentieth century style." "Oh, very well," answered the Philistine, with a sneer of disdain. So they went forth and began to dig trenches. But by the time Goliath had sunk himself to his knees David was out of sight." "David wins," cried the military critics, unanimously.?Puck. . Over the Prayer Rug.?Mrs. Watkins was entertaining some week-end guests not long ago, when they were startled by a commotion in the hall. "Gracious! What's that awful language down stairs?" whispered one of the guests in a frightened tone. "Don't be alarmed," replied the nostess. "it s my nusoana. He s come in late and fallen over the new Persian prayer rug." Billy Sunday's Idea.?Billy Sunday, at one of his farewell services in Paterson, N. J., attacked the people who attended divine worship on the Sabbath, cheat during the week and think they are accomplishing their whole duty. "I tell you," shouted the revivalist, "going to church doesn't make a man a Christian any more than going to a garage makes him an automobile." Doing the Wrong Thing.?Gadspur is a man who prides himself on doing things. "True, but I had to disappoint him the other day." "How so?" "He wanted to do me.*' Whose Laugh Lasts.?"After all," said Kwoter, "it's a true saying that 'he laughs best who laughs last.'" "Not at all," replied Wise. "The really true saying is 'He laughs best whose laugh lasts."?Answers. For the Same Reason.?"And you refuse me a loan?" "Oh, no, I don't refuse you alone, 1 refuse all panhandlers."?Houston Post. Some Delay.?Edith?"Miss Oldgirl says she has just reached the marriageable age." Marie?"You don't say. I wonder what delayed her." jflisrfUattrous Uradinj). THE LAURENS "LEMON" Observation on the Subject of "Booster Invasions." They say Laurens grave the visiting: "boosters" a lemon on Thursday. Why not? There was a gang of one hundred and eleven people from Columbia, and on the same day another gang of boosters were there from Greenville?all pulling for Laurens' trade. Laurens needs her own trade. The trade gained to Columbia or Greenville is lost to Laurens. But they say they want only the trade that Laurens cannot supply. Isn't it a reflection on Laurens to say to her face that her merchants don't * arAA/lfl^ Til fit tlBf nanuie nrei-ua people have to send off to get clothing and hardware and other merchandise? And how Is a town ever going to keep first-class goods if her people won't buy them but send off for them? No doubt some such thoughts as these ran through the minds of the Laurens people?the merchants especially?when they saw two sets of "boosters" In her midst the same day drumming for trade. They say It is only a "South Carolina First" idea. Then what was the idea when the Augusta "boosters" came across the Savannah recently and visited South Carolina towns? Of course if Laurens merchants, or Newberry merchants, or other merchants, do not handle first-class goods, her people cannot be blamed for sending off to get them; but it is mighty poor policy, and poor encouragement to home merchants, if people send away for things they can find at home. So "there's a reason" why Laurens should not be particularly enthusiastic over the coming of the "boosters," and if Laurens peopl sympathize with the feeling of the merchants, it Is that much to the credit of the Laurens people?for it shows that they are home-buyers and home-builders. "Buy at home." "At home" means your own town. ?Newberry Observer. ^ * OA! IMC BDI/>C unouLiiib rnivi. Increase of Automobiles May Boost it to Fifty Cents. Fifty-cent gasoline is the dark outlook for automobiles inside of a year, according to C. B. Shaffer, of Tulsa, Okla., an oil man, at the New Willard, says the Washington Post "In the last month or six weeks the price of crude oil has advanced from 26 cents a barrel to 90 cents, and it is still going up," said Mr. Shaffer. Prospects are that it will go to $2.50 inside of a year for Oklahoma oil and $4 for Pennsylvania oil. This would cause gasoline to go up in price to a figure never before known." "What's the reason for the increase? The steady increase in the number of automobiles. There are more than 2,000,000 automobiles in use in this country, and an average of 700,000 axe being turned out every year. One company manufactured nearly 60 per cent of the total number. The average consumption of gasoline for automobile use is two gallons a day for each machine. This would make the total consumption 4,000,000 gallons a day. The uso of the fuel in launches, engines and other machines will bring the total daily consumption up to 5,600,000. "The daily output of crude petroleum is approximately 275,000 barrels, and at an average of 10 gallons of gasoline to the barrel the production of the latter each day is less than 3,000,000 gallons. Inasmuch as we are now using nearly twice that much each day, the reason for the advance in price may easily be seen. "The large reserve supply of crude petroleum has kept the price of gasoline and other products down. Had it not been for the discovery of the Cushing oil fields two years ago, it is probable gasoline would have reached 50 cents a gallon long ago, for the Cushing fields produce almost 75 per cent of the total." ODDS AND ENDS Seme Things You Know and Some You Don't Know.

A motor driven machine that cuts grooves in wooden floors for the laying of wires has been invented by a Chicago electrician. Scotland has the first drawbridge in the world in which all the work of opening and closing it and guarding traffic over and through it is done by electricity. Breaking the glass in a new fire alarm box intended for hotel or office building rooms permits the alarm to be sounded and frees a fire escape rope and harness. A New Jersey inventor's cigar cutter consists of two disks of metal about the size of a dime, a sharp edge on one clipping the end from the cigar as it is thrust through a hole in the other. ? James R. Miles, a white man who runs a small store in Richland county, was shot and probably fatally injured Sunday morning by Robert Brock, also white. There had been bad blood between the two men since the Richland county grand jury had refused to prosecute Miles for alleged criminal assault upon a 10-year-old white girl, a relative of Brock's. When Brock found Miles sitting upon the steps of his store Sunday morning, he fired both barrels of his gun into Miles' body. Both men have families. ? T. M.

When a ubscrlption has been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker owever may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfllled portion of the subscrlp;on to anotner subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer Is to be lade was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our ooks.

After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be fcrmlt;d.
