AN OLD FIE Reminiscences of J?r< Behool, in Hall To County* Over IT1: Pear Fleetwood: It occurs to my mind that a short sketch of our school boy days might be interesting to our behool mates who aro still alive/ ID 1848, or about that time, a log school house was erected near the waters of T?galo Creek, on the side ci the road opposite the residence ot David Gor don, not very far from Mrs. Olin Todd's. A s school was taught there tbe same year by Manning Belcher, who c&me there with his family from Massachusetts, if my memory is cor rect. We did not call bim professor, but he certainly deserved the title, for bc was a ripe scholar and a fine in structor. In that day, such schools as these were called <?oid field schools." This was quite appropriate in this case, for thc house was built in the edge of an old field and our play ground was in thc old field proper, a beautiful, level plat of ground, an ideal place to play town ball, bull pen and cat. We were not burdened with books in those days, as you well remember, Fleetwood. A boy from 7 to 9 years of age, starting to school, did not be come bow-legged or sway-backed carry ing books. As soon as his breakfast was lodged where he wanted it, he seized his Webster's Elementary Spell- j ?rig book (blue back) and his dinner bucket and hastened away to school. He spelled in that book for a time, then off the same book until he was prepared to read short and simple sen tences. Then he would get off some of his extra vitality, reading from Webster, suoh cent oncea as "Ann can spin flax," "The pig sleeps in straw," and BO on until he became a fairly good reader. Then he was promoted to the New Testament class. Sohool readers had not made their appearance in that community at that date. About that time you might see a stray copy of The New York Reader, here and there, bound in board baok, destitute of pic tures or anything else that would in terest a child. At this stage the pupil was pre sented - with a copy of the multipli cation table drawn on a thiok piece of paper or pasteboard. When he had wended his way through the intri cacies of this lesson for a few weeks you would seo him enter the school some morning smiling with a copy of "Smiley's Arithmetic" under his arm. He now begics to add, subtract, mul tiply, divide and put on airs in good earnest. By and by he ' reached the climax and began to reduce everything into nothing by "the single rule of three," and if he found a proposition out of the reach of that rule he im mediately betook bin? Dolf to* the *(dou ble rule of three." Only a few prob lems baffled this universal rule. For instance: "If one pound of butter costs 12} cents, how many teeth had an ordinary hand saw?" Another: "If one boy oould run a m'ls in 9 minutes, how long would it ;:eqt.ire two boys to rna a milo?" Tard and Tret waa another rule that was much dreaded by the small boy. It was reported among the boys that it would make one "swear and sweat," but the most of us mastered ?he rule without either swearing'or sweating. I The rule has been dropped from late I editions of arithmetics, perhaps, for I tbe reason that this refined age does. I not need encouragement, along that S line. If any wished to "speak the English language more correctly" "Smith's. English Grammar" was promptly suggested as the sine qua non. It had alt the persons, numbers and genders that common mortals seeded. * If any wished to know something about this "mundane sphere," which we inhabit, he was introduced to I"Mitchell's Geography" without for mal notice. But I arish to give a list of the pupils as far as my memory will serve nie. The names pf some have eecape? me, of cooroo: Elias Brown, Eliza thordon, John Brown, Emily (Jordon, Jane ca Brown,? Bartley Gray, Fleet. CMnkmales, Robert Gray, Irena J- CUnkacalts, Hezekiah Gray, Mary Cllnkecales, John Gray, larrie Cllnkaoalw, Hannah <Sr?y, Thomas ?can, Bill Hall. Major Dean, Tem Hall, Jasper Wrod, James Hanle, Jana KL jd, Ailee Banfe. Marlon Elrod, John Hanna, Hiram Eirod. Adeline Herron Kl vira Elrod, Virgil Karron, Elisa Elrod, Rachel Little, Ben Elrod, Jamee Little, James Gordon. Van Tate, I-- ,;. ,. ; Mll?brd Tata. Tho above list may be defective aa it is taken from memory. Tom and Major Dean lived some di a lance from school, hence they rode to sohool. If my 'memory io cot at fault, they studied Latin, using Adam's Grammar, no doubt. Whether .y-i^ihst AdinV was related, to our LD SCHOOL if. Manning Belcher's vvnshrp, Anderson If ty Years .A.go distinguished parent who lived in the garden of Eden, cannot at this late day he definitely determined. Tem and Major Dean had a kind of plat form built out of doors upon which they studied. Major had the military *? true, but Tom had the military spirit. Ile rode a fine, well-drilled animal. At dinner hour or play time he mount ed his bay and had all the medium sized boys, armed with sticks, drawn up in line. He gave the command "charge cavalry," while a boy in line would give the command "charge bay onets." Tom would make a grand charge, but the bcj? in line would give the Confederate yell in embryo and the cavalry would retreat in good order, while the welkin would ring with shouts of victory from tho boys in the line. Many of these boys saw more of this kind of exercise, co doubt, than they dreamed of in their school boy days. After enjoying this kind of sport for a short time all would resort to the pitty ground to engage in ball playing the- remainder of playtime. John Gordon was the champion ball player. Be was left handed and but few boys could dodge bis balls. The school was not a military school, but it was* belligerent. The older boys would enjoy this and en courage the younger boys to resent anything that appeared to be offen sive. Playtime frequently ended with a tug between some of the small er boys. Tom Sanders was a leader in this offensive and defensive busi ness and generally came off victorious. But Bill Hali got tho advantage of him when engaged one day in a close contest. Tom generally struck his antagonist in the face and blinded him so that he whipped his man be fore he could see what was going on. When Tom and Bill got into close quarters Bill warded off the blow aim ed at him and struck his enemy a severe blow in the stomach, knocking breath out of him. While Tom was gasping for breath Bill succeeded in giving him a good, all-round whipping. Ever after that when two boys were engaged in deadly conflict, some one would shout, give it to him Bill Hall style. Many incidents oonneoted with this eventful school still come into my mind yet, even at this late date. I remember when a little boy some ll years of age entered sohool and the teacher proceeded to examine him. He opened the "blue back" and asked the boy to spell cab, dab, etc, then turn ed to the Baker page and spelled a few words, then turned/ further on and dosing the book asked the boy to spell herb, the boy spelled the word promptly and oorreotly. The teacher handed the boy the book and told him he could enter the dictionary ciaos. The boy was astonished and delighted too. He had not advanced far in the spelling book, but he was glad to be advanced, he exerted himself to the j ut-nc Et and held his pl>c?. Iv was a rule ic the school that any one spell ing a word before it was given out be went head. The one above this same hoy spelled the word debauch. The little boy remembered that debaucher esme next in line, spelled it and went head. The boy wss as proud as a king. In those days common sohools did not end with a commencement, but they ended at the proper time all.the same. Sometimes there would be an exhibition at the clono, but frequently the boys would "dose out'* the teach er and have him to trest tho sohool or take a ducking in the nearest pool of water. At the end of this sohool the teacher treated to a jog of the "over joy f ul" and ? 2 pound paoksge of brown sugar. The sugar was poured into the 3 r g "and shaken.before taking." The boya seemed to think the con tents of said jog were diluted when I the sugar was introduced and some of them took more than enough. That night the haunted woods near by was the resting place of some who could not walk a bee-line toward home. That was ? new experience to the moat of them. Shall I ever forget these halcyon days of thc past? No, never! Then, roy ?oar schoolmate, We were mere boys. Now, we are old men, feeling distinctly the infirmities of old ago coming upon us. How many of that sohool are now alive?- I.cannot tell, fori don't know. Charlie Mattlson distinguished him? self and passed away many years ago. Mr. Beloher, our beloved teacher, and his accomplished wife joined the great majority not many \ years after our sohool closed. Their daughter mar ried W. D. Gray, a noble, generous hearted man. They raised in excel lent and interesting family. Thoir homo was a model home. Their hos pitality is unbounded.- ? He, too, has ? . ? . . ? t < ?

Aunt Jane Gordon, tho last of a large family, passed away Jan. 20, 1902 at the advanced age of 91 yeera. She was industrious ?nd weis informed xor her time, having a vast amount of knowledge of the people around her. Others I oould mention but time fails me. Where are all those who met us in school, day by day? Eoho answers, where? Peace to the ashes of those who aro gone, and much peace and comfort to those who are left! Are we ready to go? "All are scattered now and tied, Borne are married, some are dead; And when I ask, with throbs of pain "AL! when shall they ali meet again, As in the days long since gone bj?'' The ancient timepiece made reply : ' Forever-never; Never-forever." "Never here, forever there, When all parting, pain and caro, And death apd time shall disappear, Forever there, but never here, The horolago of eternity " Sayeth this incessantly, "Forever-never; Never-forever." E. E. Press.;*. Statesville, N. C. Dying Convict. A secret for which chemists would gladly give a fortuno will bo scaled forever when death comes to old "Bob" MaBou, who now lies in the Ohio penitentiary hospital in what will probably prove his final illness. He is wasting away and with the com ing end will perish a formula whiob, could it be learned, would prove the magic touchstone that turns "base metals like unto gold." For "Bob" Mason is a counterfeit er, a past master at the art. He is kuown by crooks and officials from const to coast and his pioture is in every rogues' gallery. For forty years he has followed his hazardous trade so successfully that SCOTCH of govern-, ment detectives have spent months tracing baok tho spurious coins to their deft-handed maker. Four timos they have nabbed him, but his fourth sentence of ten years how ending will be his last, for the sand in the glass ?3 running low. But "Bob" would never admit it. "My days are not over yet. Old Bob Mason lived through four years' service in the butternut uniform and followed Lee through many a cam paign against the Yankees. He's good for years more." And his diamond bright eyes, deep sunken, blazed and glittered as he declared he would yet be free to return to his trade. With Mason's name is coupled that of the "King of Counterfeiters," Miles Ogle, wo died in this city three years sgo, just after finishing a term in the loosl penitentiary. The two men worked together and made for tunes, recklessly spending lleir ill gotten gainB SB- fast Ss made. To Mason Ogle revealed the secret of the substance which turns silver and base metals to the oolor of gold. "The last time I waB sent to this prison," Mason stated reoently, "was for making phony twenty-dollar gold pieceB. Several of the coins were sent to Washington and assayed. Sil ver and several base metals were Ifound, but the aBsayer was puzzled by a reddish substance the nature of whioh he could not determine, and he never can. That substance will not yield to water, west or aoid. Noth ing but the cruoiblo will separate it when His once combined with a ?metal. "The twenties had the true ring and everything would haye been all right had I.not made them a little too heavy." \ Two years sgo a "plant" was found inside the penitentiary walls for th? making of spurious dimes. It wai again old "Bob" Mason, who, even when confined hy law, dared to repeat in his prison eell the orime for whioh he was sentenced there.-Columbus Citisen. ? ? -i Tender and Trae.

Our Columbia correspondent fur nishes us with the interesting infor mation that the dispensary, not con tent with tbc tremendous eales it is having, may make an innovation and solicit business. The eoheme dees sot show this OD the face, but it will not take a thinking man two minutes to see what is proposed. It is stated that the Board of Control has for some time contemplated placing dis pensary goods in the hands of certain wholesale groceries of "high stand ing." It is believed that they will take on a line of the "finer grades of whiskey to be sold under dispensary regulations." It is said that the idea is being pressed by one of the mem bers of tho Board, name not given, and that his idea is that it will popu larize the dispensary, that it will in duce a man who is opposed to buying bis whiskey from an "out and out dispensary" to "placo an order" with his grocer, and the increased sales from this new departure will add con siderably to the revenues of the State. There can be no doubt about that. Eut tho scheme would bo opposed by the good people of tho Stato on that very ground. We do not want whis key sales increased in South Carolina. Those who foisted tho dispensary on us claimed that it would havo a differ ent effect. They claimed for it a re duction in the amount spent for whis key in the Stato. But it has proved a Trojan boree. Since its establish-' ment there has seemed but one idea in thc heads of those in control, and that was to sell juBtas much whiskey, .as possible. What a sorry spectacle to make to tho world. South Carolina aggressively engaged in the salo of whiskey 1 It was bad enough to ap pear in the original role, but that has long been discarded, and now wc have the State, or certain powers back of 6'ie dispensary, "pushing tho sale of whiskey" to its citizens. Tho propos ed plan is no doubt pleasing to the Whiskey Trust, and if lobbying could help it along, it would hardly sparc the expense such lobbying would en tail. Wo must not allow one of 'ho main roots of crime to grow deeper in South Carolina soil. There should be a general and emphatic protest against this new plan to sell more whiskey. If it is put into execution it will bo easier to sell whiskey in South Caro lina as a State than in any of thc ad joining States. Tho business man who is kept out of an ''oui, and out" dispensary by various reasons will have nothing, except his own teetol i.ig tendenoies, to keep him from "placing an order for bottled goods." And it goes without saying that his opportunities for "placing an order" will not be few. If a limit to the dis pensary's operations is ever to be made, it seems that now is the time to do it. Lot it bo done.--Greenville News._ _ Atlanta wiU Fail on This. Columbia, S.

At thc centenary anniversary of Hawthorne's birth in Salem, Pr. Edward Waldo Emerson, of Concord, said, apropos of sympathy and com passion: "I used to know an aged man ser vant whoso heart was singularly kind. In him the quality of compassion, of sympathy?, of pity, was brought to nearly perfeot development. "This man was driving his master and me through the oountry on a cer tain winter day. "As we approached a new hou.se that the master was building wc saw an aged and bent woman peep forth at us from an unfinished window. She recognized us,' and in a Bhamc-faced way went slinking off. She had been taking a little wood. There was a bundle of wood under her old shawl. "The master tugged excitedly at his servant's Fleevo. " 'Jabez. Jabez,' ho cried, 'do you sec that old woman taking my wood?' "Jabez looked with pity first at the old woman, and then with scorn at his master. i "'No, sir,' ho said, stoutly, 'I don't see her; and, what's more, I didn't think that you would see her, either/ " Perils of Ventriloquism. Kev. Madison C. Peters, of Phila delphia, who believes that churches, like other properties, should be taxed, is a favorite with boys. Talking to a group of boys one day, he said: ''When I was a youngster I wanted to be a ventriloquist. I wanted to play ventriloquist jokes on every one j in the world. "So I bought a book on throwing the voice, and, with a friend named Jake, I began to study the di iii cult art. I had poor success, and Jake also had poor success. He, though, imagined that he was doing well, and one day he declared that he was a quite good enough ventriloquist now to begin to do a little fooling. "Jake knew an old engineer in a faotory, and the next afternoon he vioited him. He seated himself in ?> corner, and, after a little conversation he imitated the squeak of badly oiled machinery. "Tho old engineer trotted to a cer tain valve and oiled it. "Jake let a few minutes pass and emitted another series of squeaks. " 'Drat that valve,' said the engi neer, and he oiled it again. "A third time there came the squeak, and now the engineer saw through the joke. He walked up quietly behind Jaie and squirted a half pint of oil down the back of his neek. " 'There,' he said. 'There'll he no more squeaking to-day, I'm sure.' " STOMACH DOSIN? WILL NOT CUBE. Only Way to Cure Catarrh ia by Breathing Hyomei. Ask any physician if catarrh is a blood disease and he will tell you that it ia a -diseased eondition of the mu cous membrane and that it oannot be oared by blood purifiera, pilla, tablets, or other forms of stomach dosing. The only sensible and aeientifio way of our* ing catarrh is by the use of Hyomei. Breathed for a few minutes, four or five times a day, through a hard rub ber inhaler that is ro small that it can be carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will absolutely destroy all catarrhal germa and cure the disease. Catarrh oan never exist where Hyomei is used. Ie has a two-fold action, destroying the disease germs in the air passages and lungs, and soothing and healing the inflamed mucous membrane. Evans Pharmacy, one of the most reliable firms in Anderson, S. C., are giving their personal guarantee with every package of Hyomei they sell, that it will effect a cure or they will return the money. They have had scores of reports of remarkable cures of both acute and chronic cases of ca tarrh by Hyomei. The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.00, and comprises an inhaler, a bot tle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime ; and addi tional bottles can be obtained for 50o.
