Narrow Escape.?"Now, translate,
please," said the professor, after the
student had read aloud the passage
from Demosthenes, relates the New
York Post.
Impossible. That is, the last part of
it did not look so hard, but the lirs.
?hnnAlmw! The rhetoric of
the great Athenian orator, a tangled
wilderness of words, barred the way
on all sides."
"Perhaps you'd better read the lines
over yourself once more," said the
professor, peering through his big
spectacles and looking like a benevolent
owl. "Meantime, we'll take up
the next passage."
Reading over again will not help,
thought the tortured young man,
staring dully at the world-puzzle in
front of him. And no more it did.
The next passage was disposed of.
"Well?" said the professor.
Grim silence. Then:
"Perhaps you are at loss for a
word?" murmured the owl. "What
word is it?"
What word? What dozen words?
And yet'maybe the translation of one
of the host of unknowns might afford
a gleam of light. Which word should
a desperate gambler choose? Which?
Cold heads of perspiration bedewed
his brow and hands, when he
woke with a gasp and a start. And
he knew that he was saved, although
a shell had burst not 50 steps from
the shelter where he lay.
Prodding the Lawye-*?The professor
of jurisprudence in a western
. university, relates the Youth's Companion,
was lecturing to a hundred
embryo lawyers. He asked whether
anyone in America could not own
property. One young fellow answered:
"A criminal can't own property."
But the profssor said: "Suppose a
man owns a ranch, gets into trouble
with his neighbor, assaults him and is
put into the penitentiary. Does he still
own the ranch?"
The class was unanimous that he
did.
"If he did not continue to own it,"
went on the professor, "what would
become of it?"
That was supposed to settle the
discussion, but one boy called out,
"The lawyer would get it."
There was a hearty laugh, and the
professor added:
"We learn two things i.em the apt
remark?be a lawyer and don't be a
criminal."
Between the Lines.?Hamilton Fish,
Jr., told a war story at a smoker at
the officers' training camp in Plattsburg,
according to the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
"Two brothers, Russians," he said,
"were captured in the Carpathians
and sent to a prison camp in Germany.
"Their mother heard nothing from
them for a long while, and the poor
woman was nearly distracted. Then,
at last she got a letter from the elder
Drotner, fioier.
" 'Dear mother,' he wrote, 'here I am
In the lovely German prison camp.
I have a beautiful room, with use of
bath. The bed is comfortable, clean
sheets every week. Good food and
plenty of it. Beer to drink and cigars
to smoke. I am very happy.
" 'Pioter.'
. " 'P. S.?Brother Ivan was shot this
morning for complaining.'"
His Last Resource.?Jack disliked
being kissed, relates '' it-Bits. One
day he had been kissed a lot. Then,
to make matters worse, on going to
the picture-palace in the evening, instead
of his favorite cowboy and Indian
pictures there was nothing but a
lot more hugging and kissing. He returned
home completely out of patience
with the whole tribe of women.
After he had tucked himself into bed
mother came in to kiss him good night.
He refused.
Mother begged and begged, till in
disgust he turned to his father who
was standing at the doorway, looking
on, and said:
"Daddy, for heaven's sake, give this
woman a kiss!"
Mistook Him for Robinson.?"No
man is so well known as he thinks he
is," says Enrico Caruso, the worldfamed
tenor. "While motoring in
New York state," continued the great
singer, "the automobile broke down
and I sought refuge in a farmhouse
while the car was being repaired. 1
became friendly with tho farmer, who
asked me my name, and I told him it
was Caruso.
"The farmer leaped to his feet and
seized me by the hand. "Little did I
think I would see a man like you in
this here humble kitchen sir!' he exclaimed.
'Caruso! The great traveler,
Robinson Caruso!'"
A Coward.?During the hearing of
a case involving a small domestic dispute,
the judge declared that a "patriot
is a man who refuses to hook up
his wife's lingerie waists. And a
martyr," he went on, "is one who tries
and fails; while a hero tries and succeeds."
"Then how would you define a coward?"
asked the lawyer, who was a
bit of a wag himself.
"Oh, a coward," replied the judge,
"is a man who stays single so he
won't have to try it."
Died On the Way.?Returning from
his first visit to the seashore, little
Dean told the family about the ocean.
"Why.'' he exclaimed, his eyes big
with excitement, "it jumped and leaped
all around! I brought some home
to show you. Now just look," and he
produced a big bottle, the contents of
which he poured into a pan, where it
lay inert and lifeless.
"Huh! that's funny," he said: "It
must have died coming home."
Erasing Robert.?"S-s-sus-say, ma,"
sputtered Robert through the suds, as
his mother scrubbed him. "I guess you
want to get rid of me, don't you?"
"Why, no, Bobby, dear," replied his
mother. "Whatever put such an idea
into your mind."
"Oh, nuthin'," said Bobby. "Only
it sees to me you're tryin' to rub m<out."
When the Wicked are Pursued.?
"The wicked f!ee when no man pursueth,"
quoted the deacon to the minister.
"Yes," said the minister, who believed
in muscular Christianity. "That
is true; but they make much better
time when somebody is after them."
Shot With Machine Gun.?"Kntraaed
to four Kills at once?" exclaimed the
horrified uncle. "How do you explain
such shameless conduct?"
"I don't know," said the Rraceless
nephew. "I kucss Cupid must have
shot me with a machine sun."

CAROLINA CATTLE GOOD
Exhibits at State Fair this Year Were
Greatly Admired.
One of the exhibitors of fine cattle
at the fair grounds is S. D. Cross of
Chester. He has 29 "white faces," as
the Herefords are known. It is more
than ten years since Mr. Cross began
to exhibit beef cattle and his stock
has been greatly admired. He has now
between 80 and 100 head of his own
raising. One of his bulls weighs upwards
of 2,500 pounds when in condition.
The Highland Park mill of Rock
Hill, is another exhibitor of fine cattle,
although presenting only a few
animals. Mr. E. H. Johnston has sent
down a bull in beautiful condition and
the steaks on this big fellow would
make an epicure smile with delight
Nothing in the United States is finer
than some of the beef cattle now on
exniDiuon nere.
Li. I. Guion of Lugoff, has the largest
exhibit of beef cattle. He has one
pen of 18 calves that are beauties, all
Herefords. Mr. Guion has raised
over 800 calves of this breed, and has
demonstrated that beef cattle may be
grazed in South Carolina all the year
around, as against about six or eight
months on the plains. Furthermore
he has demonstrated that the climate
and the grasses of the middle part of
the state make just as strong cattle
as the hill country.
Both Mr. Guion and Mr. Cross feel
provoked at the way in which they
have been treated by the veterinary
department at Clemson college. During
the past year an agitation has
been going on to get the farmers of the
state to form clubs for the purpose of
buying bulls of the beef cattle breeds.
Mr. Cross says that he has as fine cattle
as can be found in the west, as he
will say the same thing for Mr. Guion's
and yet when he offered to sell these
young teachers at Clemson they seemed
to take no interest in his cattle,
giving them but cursory inspection.
Mr. Cross declares that a South Carolinian
should have the preference,
when the price is right, and that the
veterinarians at Clemson are northern
men who seem to have no confidence
in what is produced here.?Columbia
Record, Thursday.
A DAY OF COMPROMISE.
A Strong Essay in Which the Writer
Asks Some Pertinent Questions.
This is the day of compromise; the
day of accommodating beliefs; the day
of "least resistance". Nobody wants to
offend. Everybody desires to pleaseEverybody
is more or less afraid of
being called a "fanatic" or of being
thought "extreme". Not all; but that
is the spirit of the day. Opinions are
colorless, or if not colorless only very
slightly tinted. The bright red or the
deep blue or the "green as grass" are
seldom seen; instead it is the pink,
and pale at that, or the nile green or
the baby blue.
The human mind seems to be following
the fashions and taking on
?1 1? * : nAntrinflnr?Q

are gone. Deep emotions are out of
style. Admiration is relegated to the
uncultured. Views and opinions are
plentiful enough; but what has become
of convictions? The blood flows
gently and calmly; blushing is vulgar;
chivalry is antiquated and bashfulness
is subject of mirth.
For my part I like to see a man, or
a woman either, take a decided stand
and have positive opinions on subjects
that concern human life and human
conduct?not necessarily to protrude
them on other people, but to proclaim
them if the occasion requires it?not
compromise for the sake of being polite
and pleasant.
I like to see persons who believe
something strongly and really; with
whom conviction is more than an impression
or a fancy, and who are loyal
to their convictions.
What has become of the "deepwater"
Baptist and the "shouting"
Methodist, and the "true blue" Presbyterian"?
The Lutheran bears testimony
to the quality of his religion in
?hp Von' nnmo hv whirh hp is railed
and calls himself. Where are the people
who once thought that their
church, whatever it might be. was the
best of them all? "One's as good as
another", is the way they talk now.
Well, there is no sense in being
bigoted; but I like a man who loves
his church with an undying loyalty
and doesn't try to hide it; who knows
and believes in her doctrines, and
wants to see her stand high in the
community and in the world. The man
who is not that way may claim to be
"no sectarian." He probably isn't; and
it is an easy guess that he does not
care much about the church universal
either. The man who loves his own
father or mother most respects other
fathers and other mothers most.
It is the same way with a good
church member.
It is the same way in politics.
How many men there are who suppress
their honest opinions and efface
their personality because they fear to
lose a nickel, or a dime, or a dollar, or
a hundred dollars in business!
There is no sense and no call to be
offensively partisan or sectarian; but
a man ought to know where he stands,
and he ought to let the people know
where he stands, let the sacrifice be
what it may.
I like to see men with red blood in
their veins and not milk and water;
men with convictions and not mere impressions
and vague fancies.?Newberry

SOCIAL CLASSES IN RUSSIA.
I AL.nt it.. M ~
w vwii I iy a awo nuuwii uic man /
People Who Make Up Russian Empire.
"Social classes in Russia form amon?
the most interesting studies for the
visiting foreigner, provided he stays
long enough in the realm of tlie Tsar
in order to learn the details of the vast
empire's organization and to get some
understanding therefor," begins a
bulletin issued today by the National
Geographic Society, which deals with
one of the proudest boasts of the Russians.
their boast that fixed castes do
not exist in Muscovy. "The enthusiastic
Russian denies lhat there is
any such thing as soeial class in Russia.
and enlarges upon this statement
with the prediction that Russia is
destined to become the foremost civilization
in the world because it is
not hampered by class, and has no
feeling, as a noble, or of insurperable
gulf between him and the peasant. In
theory, at least opportunities for advancement
and honors in the service
of the government are equal for all.
as are the opportunities for education
and soeial intercourse. In the
sense accepted in Western Kurope,
Russia, in reality, has no bourgeoisie.
no aristocracy, and no proletariat.
"However the Russophills' insistence
that Russia has no social classes I
is not strictly correct. It is true, as
incongruous as it seems, that Russians,
the supporters of autocracy, are |
among the most democratic of all peo- i
pies. In their local organization, the ,
village communes, the Russian peasants
possess an almost perfect organ- j
ization from the social democrats' .
point of view, while their nobles, once
freeholders, remade into servants of the
state by Peter the Great, and modified
oy succeeding sovereigns, nave
oped no strong class consciousness, no
iron-clad-traditions, and no isolating
esprit de corps. They comprise rich
and poor Russian citizens, citizens
of high and low degree, citizens of
culture and illiterate citizens. Nevertheless,
position, wealth, and culture
in Russia, as everywhere else, do constitute
class advantages, while until
just recently the clergy of Russian
church have formed the most exclusive
of fixed castes. The nobles, mostly
largo land proprietors, and the Tchinovniks,
or the innumerable government
officers also form special classes, and,
as in Western Europe, there are circles
within circles. Moreover, these
various classes are recognized by a
mass of legislation in the Russian
code. Nevertheless, Russians can claim
one advantage. This is, that their
country is almost free from class
hatreds, and that the existing classes
are, generally speaking, very fluid. A
firmly established autocracy leaves
little room for a bitter struggle between
class and class; a country where
more than two-thirds of the people are
engaged in agricultural pursuits has
still less occasion for class animosities,
[ and. when it is further considered that
the true Russian is a social democrat
by nature, it is no longer an object for
wonderment that the catchwords of the
[ west, used In the political and economic
struggles of the classes, have but
little substance and meaning for the 1
Russian. ?
"The distinctions between man and
man, and family and family, in Russia,
are largely superficial. The law
recognizes?as the Russophill explains
?merely by way of administrative fictions,
four general divisions of the people?the
nobility, the clergy, the
town-dwellers and the peasantry. Peter
the Great, a passionate organizer who
spent his energetic life in the endeavor
to centralize the state and give in an
efficient scheme of government, made
class distinctions in the land much
more definite than they had been before,
and, also, added to them. His
successors traveled in the paths which
he had pointed out. Cathrine the Great,
a German princess, endeavored to
create a West-European aristocracy
and a bourgeosie in her empire, and,
with these objects in view, as, also,
probably, that of her own fame, she
was untiring in her efTorts to found
towns. Peter the Great made efficiency
the road to rank, and among the counts
whom he created, some had begun life
as peasants, barbers, butlers, etc.
Cathrine II took the organization of the a
French monarchy as her model. d
"The great landowners and the
higher government officials form the
first society of the realm, the wealthy
merchants, smaller landowners and t
the srpat nart of the nrofessional neo
? r? - ? r r
pie make up the middle class. There is
practically no proletariat?though such
a class is in the making: in Moscow and
some of the greater cities. Decorations
are very common, as are titles. There
are more than 700,000 members of the
nobility, among which the hundreds of
princes and princesses. Russia's plentiful
supply of nobilities has kept them
from becoming objects of awe to Russian
folks in general. The Russian
pays most honor to the government officials,
the tchinovika. or the rankholders
in bureaucracy."

Terms and Conditions
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will com? to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 18TH, 1916, at 6.00 P. M., SHARP.
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it la desired to
discontinue a subscription before the close of'the contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a
subscription luts been paid in full, It cannot be discontinued. The Clubmake**
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscription
to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer 4s to be
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
books.
No name will be counted In competition for a premium until the subscription
price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
Club. %
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we jsluill not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such i>aymcntAfter
a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make
such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present
postollice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will X
be allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at p. m.,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
