short a team, hitched a mule and an ox
together to help with the hauling.
When the team had gone a mile down
the road the ox stopped, lay down and
refused to go further. The farmer
said nothing, simply unhitched the
animal, returned it to the stable and
made the mule pull the wagon the rest
'of the day.
That night the ox spoke to the mule
oonfldentially. What did your boss
say today?" he asked.
^'"Nothing that I heard," replied the
mule. The next day the ox was hitched
with the mule again. This time he
. lay down at the end of a half mile.
Again the farmer calmly unhitched
him, put him back in the stable and
made the mule do the hauling.
"What did the boss say this time?"
. asked the ox that night. '
"I didn't, hear him say anything,"
replied the mule, "but he's leaning
over the fence out there talking to a
butcher."
Interest Ate It Up.?The leading negroes
of a Georgia town started a bank
Rnd invited persons of their race to
become depositors. One day a darky,
with shoes cut down at the heels, a
gallus over one shoulder and a cotton
shirt, showed up at the cashier's window.
"See here," he said, "I want mah
110."
"Who is you?" asked the cashier.
"My name is Jim Johnson, an' I
want dat $10.''
"Yuh ain't got no money in dis here
bank," said the cashier after looking
over the books.
"Yes, I has," insisted the visitor. "I
put $10 in here six months ago.
"Why, man, yuh sure is foolish. Dc
lntrist done et dat up long ago."
. Asked to Know.?It was the kindly
custom in the village for the well-todo
inhabitants to make good any loss
wfhich1 the villagers might sustain
through the death of their live stock.

visit of the laborer's wife, who explained
that Bhe had lost a pig.
"Well, 1 haven't got it," exclaimed
the bewildered newcomer.
,."What I mean, sir, is, of course, the
pig died," nervously explained the woman.

When One Claim Adjuster Fainted.
?Out in Wyoming a train ran over
tho cow of a Swede farmer named Ole
Oleson. Tho claim adjuster went out
to the home of Olo to adjust the claim
likely to be rondo"by Ole for the loss
of his cow.
"Well, Mr. Oleson," said the clairn
adjuster, "I came out to see you about
your cow being killed on our trackWhat
arc you expecting to do about
it?" .
"Veil," said Ole stolidly, "I ban a

I ban so poor, but I will try to

was giving away top balloons to
children.
They were beautifully colored balloons
and caught the youngsters'
fancy.
One little fellow asked if he might
hQve two.
"Sorry," said the man in charge,
"but we only give one balloon to each
bby. Have you a brother at home?"
The youngster was truthful, but he
did want a balloon. k
"No," he replied, regretfully; then
added hopefully, "but my sister has
and I want one for hint."

The other day he got some of has

questioner had been wasting his valubale
time, and then asked:
"I understand, Mr. Goldring, that you
started life as a newsboy."
The rich man seized his chance.
"My dear sir," he replied blandly,
"you have been misinformed. I began
life in the usual way?as an infant."

Tools Were Lacking.?Tired Tim

It was a chilly day, and he felt very
hungry.
The old lady who opened tl>e door
was a good sort.
She anked him into the kitchen and
placed before him a nicely cooked
meal, and asked him why he did not
go to work
"I would," replied Tim, "if I had the
tools."
"What sort of tools do you want?"
inquired the old lady.
"A knife and fork," said Tired Tim.
Diagnosis Correct.?Two well-known
financiers were discussing a banking
scandal.
"The banker has now pone off for a
cruise to South America, has he not?"
asked the first.
"Yes, I believe so," replied the second.
"To recuperate- from an attack of
influenza, is it not?" queried the first.
His companion lauphed grimly.
"I've heard of that kind of influenza
before." he said. "It comes from cold
feet due to e\|?osure."

I OF SOUTHERN ORIGIN
?
Doctrine of Abolition Was Born in
South Carolina.
CAUSED SPLIT IN A. R. P. CHURCH
Slavery Had Many Uncompromising
Opponent* in the South?States
Were Never United Until After the
Civil War.
Dr. Robert Lathan, author of the
"History of the Associate Reformed
Synod o? the South," specifically declares
that anti-slavery sentiments
were of Southern origin, writes Dr. J.
W. Daniel in the Southern Christian
Advocate. Lathan makes good his assertion
from documentary history contained
In the minutes of the synods of
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
ehurch, and also shows that these senj
timents were born in South Carolina
and resuKed in a hegira of Associate
Reformed Presbyterians, from this
state, to the West. The great body of
these emigrants went from Chester,
Abbeville and Fairfield counties, and
settled in Ohio (a corruption of an Iroquois
word, O-hi-on-hi-i-o, Beautiful
river) in successive parties from 1800
to 1828.
Large numbers of these abolitionists
reached Ohio while it was still a territory,
for Ohio was not declared a state
till January 11, 1803. Many of the
Quakers, as well as numbers of Associate
Reformed Presbyterians had taken
up residence in the territory prior
to that date. William Henry Harrison,
a first cousin of my grandfather, Harrison
Daniel, was territorial governor,
and in 1799 became the first territorial
delegate to congress. i
Among those who left the state and ]
settled in Ohio on account of the institution
of slavery in our state, were i
some of my own people. My matcrnaJ
grandfather's eldest son, William Anderson,
owned a plantation in Abbeville
county, where Donaldsville Is i
now located. He was born at Laren, i
Ireland, and came with my grandfather
to America in 1792. About 1800
he sold his plantation and Joined the
seceder exod.us to Ohio- He was an 1
uncompromising opponent of the insti- <
tutton of slavery and left the state on I
that account. Years afterwards his i
family crossed over i^ito Indiana. 1
My mother's eldest sister, Emily An- i
derson, married John Anderson, not <
related, and moved to the vicinity of
Fort Valley, Georgia. When General i
Sherman marched through Georgia his
army was encamped, for several days, ]
around my aunt's house. The fencing ,
on her plantation was burned at the
campflres of the invading army, and <
her cattle were killed for beeves. (
Several women on the plantation, ,
whose husbands were in the Southern (
army, and who were left without protection,
took shelter in my aunt's home.
One day during the encampment a (
captain, attended by an orderly, came (
into the house and searched it, pre- ,
sumably, for treasures which they ;
might appropriate. They took nothing, (
however, but a portion of a box of plug |
tobacco, which my uncle had left when ,
he went away to join the army in Vir- <
ginia. When the officer came down (
the stairs the man who accompanied ,
him had the tobacco under his arm. |
My aunt, who was a very resolute wo- **?
" * ? ?? V* /\ Un /I 1 U Awl rtrl U A 1 tvi
iiitui wnu uau iiiiiui iil'u uic uti^rci- ,
uous disposition in the Irish people,
quickly snatched the tobacco from the
man's arm. Her husband was then in
prison, having- lost a limb at Gettys- ;
burg, where he fell into the hands of <
the Union army. His wife was keep- <
ing the tobacco in the hope that when ,
he was released, from prison he might (
have the pleasure of comforting his ,
body as well as property losses by the
pse of the weed, aged and mellow. i
The officer took the soldier's part
and attempted to wrest the tobacco
from her. The daughter of Erin, however,
was just a little bit superior in
bodily strength and kept possession of
the prize. Her "Irish was up." The
officer then threatened to burn the
house. The women who were present
becoming almost hysterical implored
my aunt, "Oh, Mrs. Anderson, let him
have it, he will burn the house.'*
When they called her name the officer
sjtood for a while looking at his
antagonist who still kept possession of
the tobacco, then he asked.
"Is your name Anderson?"
"It is no business of your's what my
name is," she replied, "this tobacco
belongs to me and I shall keep it."
"My father was an Anderson from
South Carolina," said, ho, "that is why
I asked."
My aunt finally told him that sho
was an Anderson from South Carolina.
"Surely," said he, "you can not be
Emily Anderson from South Carolina?"
When informed that she was, he extended
his hand, and with tears in his
j eyes, said:
"Pardon my threats, Aunt Emily, I
jam sorry 1 was rude, 1 assure you that
nothing that belongs to you shall be
touched while we are here by any
soldier of the army."
There she stood before her nephew,
the son of her brother, William Anj
derson, who was an abolitionist. The
I irentlcman. who was a "chip off the old ;
block," came through South Carolina I
with Sherman. After the war he cam"
back and paid my aunt and my tnothir |
a visit. He seemed to be a gentleman- j
ly fellow but when the question of I
| slavery was raised it was still like a j
I red flag to him. One of his descend- j
ants, a married daughter, has visited |
I me several times durin gthe period of
j my ministry, once in Abbeville, once !
in Columbia and once in Charleston,
J during the exposition. She was an
j elegant lady, the only objection 1 could
find to the manners of my cousin was j
that sh" always addressed my cook, a I
j mulatto woman whose name was, I1
I think, Sarah Brown, as Mrs. Brown.

this family Incident as I produce It in
proof of the fact that out of the old
state of South Carolina, long prior to
the days of William Lloyd Garrison
and Wendell Philiip3, there went forth
men who from sincere convictions bitterly
opposed the institution of slavery,
and in Ohio and Indiana they kept
the question at the front. They sold
their land and property, and many of
them parted with their kindred, and
movca away into a lerniury wuuc
slavery d.id not exist. They must hove
believed very thoroughly in the old
Southern doctrine, and in- that day it
was right, of State Rights. That fact
is demonstrated by the fact that they
determined to keep the territory which
they chose free from the institution of
slavery, which finally led to the groat
Civil war. They were our kinsmen
and brethren who believed just as we
did in State Rights but applied it differently
from us when the institution
of slavery was involved.
It is interesting to the student of
history to note that from almost, or
quite every angle from which we view
the question of state rights it always
comes back to the fact that it existed
everywhere In the states. The only difference
was in its application to the
questions and exigencies which arose.
Ai an illustration, there was a time
when a man could be Imprisoned for
debt- These prisoners for debt were
designated im'law, I believe, as prisoners
in bounds. They were given their
liberty within certain bounds at our
county scats, and kept there until the
Indebtedness was satisfactorily arranged.
This old law, up to the Civil war,
frequently resulted in flight before the
iirrest of the debtor. For instance, an
embarrassed farmer, or any man of
business, frequently packed up his
valuables on his wagons under the
cover of night, marshalled his slaves
behind him and. fled to the nearest
point across the state line with his
property. The creditor might follow
him and arrest him as Ions as he was
on the soil of the state from which he
ivas flceins. but the moment he crossed
the line he was free. The point is,
state rishts were involved. The rights
of citizens of one state did not apply
eve^i to criminals of this class when
the criminal crossed into another free

Would Come Up Again.?Molly is ^
six years old and has Just started to
school. The other day she was seen
to throw her new doll down the well,
which the gardener -had inadvertently
left uncovered. When her father came
home he was told of the occurrence.
"So you have thrown your new dolly
down the well, Molly?" he remarked.
"Yes, daddy."
"And how do you expect to get her
out?"
"Why Miss Young told me that the
world turns round every day and when
it turns over tomorrow dolly will drop
out." ' ' '

in a Boston court jt became necessary
to ca'.l to the witness stand a lady's

evening in question?" was the first
query put to nor oy tno examining
counsel. "'Dressing the hair of

said tlie attorney, very solemnly, with
uplifted finger, "think very carefully

? Rev. Oliver Johnson, who is the local
weather observer at Winnsboro, i
said Wednesday that the rainfall of
last year was about thirteen inches less
than the annual mean average; but up
to that time for the present year there
had been a gain of more than half
that amount as compared with the
same time last year. The rainfall of
April up to date had been slightly more
than the rainfall for the whole of
March. The precipitation during Tuesday
night amounted to 1.4 inches.
? The town of Winnsboro has petitioned
for an election on the question
of issuing $80,000 worth of bonds for
street paving purposes. The petition
was signed by practically all of the
freeholders and there is no reason to
doubt the failure of the election.

that defendant had been put through j a
a sort of "third degree" in which use j

? Levying of additional taxes prob- ^
ably will be necessary to meet the 1
deficit,of more than $350,000,000 forecast
for the fiscal -*"ar of 1923 by 1
Secretary Mellon, It was said yester- <
day at the treasury. High officials of <
the treasury discussing the expected (
deficit said that no consideration had j
been given to means of meeting the
lack of funds but that it was apparent (
the deficit would probably have to be <
raised by taxation as the government (
"did not have anything to sell." j
Whether the deficit would run as high
as half a billion dollars as estimated by (
some treasury officials could not be i
accurately determined at this time, It I
was , said, as the various contingent J
items of revenue and expenditure taken
into consideration in figuring the ft- <
nances for the coming fiscal year made (
an accurate determination of the ex- (
peeted deficit possible. Officials as- J
sorted,'however, a considerable deficit J
was certain. i

bill adopted should carry or be accompanied

senate Republican caucus Tuesday in
voting to request the finance committee
to report a bonus bill in a "reasonable"
time was said Wednesday to be
construed by advocates of the measure
to mean within three weeks, and
some senators who arc back of this

they would support a motion to discharge
