that the figures were over the

one thousand acres in leases, most of
which are in proven territory, as well

LEVER MAY RESIGN
NOW, 'TIS RUMORED'
I
Former Congressman Reported as
Considering Quitting Washington
Now.
Columbia Record.
Rumor has it in Columbia that
Former Congressman Asbury F. Lever
of Lexington county may resign
his position on the federal farm loanj
board either now, or else immediately:
after the inauguration of Presidentelect
Harding next March. No confirmation
of the rumor, however, has
come from Washington.
- ? > - il--i -Li- - U
it is rumoreci aiso mm cut; ivepuulicans
are out with a big "scoop" for
the pie that is ready for serving in
South Carolina. "To the victor belongs
the spoils," say leaders of the
party in power, and it is probable,
that a number of changes in public
office will be made next year. .. A
number of these are in ^ColumlSia,
and the 1921 personnel of federal
efface" will be a matter of keen interthroughout
the state? ;
(i Mr. Lever for several years represented
the Seventh Carolina:
i
district in the lower h<juse of con-;
gress, and when the Democrats were
in control of the party machinery,
was chairman of the house commit- j
tee on agriculture. His decision to'
enter the race for the senate of the
United States and his withdrawal in
1916 was an interesting event in the
history of the Palmetto state. Subsequently
Mr. Lever left the house to
take an appointment as a Democratic
member of the farm* loan board.
As the members of the board are
selected with references to the two
leading parties it is probable that
should Mr. Lever desire to continue
in his present position he could do so
as none doubt his ability, but the
question as to whether, having* been
close to the Wilson administration,
loo umtiisi raw tn hold office under
Harding is another matter.
Some of Mr. Lever's friends are
authority for the statement that the
former congressman is almost certain
to get into the race for the governorship
of South Carolina in 11>22
and they profess to ray that it might'
not be greatly to his advantage to1
hold office under the Harding admin- j
istration until just prior to the South
Carolina election, then resign and enter
the race.

THE SURPRISE PARTY
Slnglefoot is fining to celeV/
brate his golden wedding tomorrow,"
said tlie assessor; "we are
planning to sive him a surprise party,
and would like you to go along."

makes his preparations accordingly.
Then when the visitors arrive at his
abode he pretends to be immensely
astonished, and says he never dreamed
of such a visitation; but the fact that

lias his l^air parted in the middle,
gives the lie to all his protestations.
^"There is no serious objection to a
surprise party when the victim is
warned in advance, although, as I have
shown, it encourages skullduggery and
hypocrisy, for no man can be thoroughly
honest who pretends amazement
over a visit he has been planning-for.
"But the genuine surprise party is
an outrage, and people who resort to
it should be severely punished. There's
nothing more humiliating to a selfrespecting
man than to have a whole
neighborhood blow, into his dwelling
when he isn't looking for it.
"When I am at home I saerifieo
everything to personal comfort. I
take off my shoes an3 collar and necktie,
and roll up my shirtsleeves and
slip my suspenders ' down over niy
arms. I don't care how I look if I am
feeling at ease. If I am expecting
visitors. I go to my boudoir and fix
myself up so I look like a bridegroom.
My wife has theories, similar to mine,
and doesn't believe in being arrayed
in Durole and fine'linen all the time.
But she wouldn't-''be seen looking
slouchy for anything.
"Some months agp my wife casually
remarked to a neighbor that my birthday
would occur on the following
Wednesday, and tlis4t neighbor, being
a confirmed busybody, got busy and
organized a surprise party. I nover
recftved the faintest hint of the
scheduled catastrophe, and on the
evening of my birthday I was lying on
the floor of the setting room, with
.ahrmt o lmnrtrpfl npwsnnrjers nround
me. My wife was1'1 wearing an old
wrapper, and was popping corn on the
kitchen rtove. There was nobody else
in the house, and wp had no idea visitors
would come, for it was a kid
night.
"About eight o'clock, .lust when I
was thinking of going to bod, there
was a knock at the front door. My
wife thought it was some boy on an
errand so she went to the door with a
stovehook in one hand, and the corn
popper in (he other, and she gave a
shriek of ansuisJi when she snw tn??
mass meetinc: on the front porr-h. The
minute the floor v.*as open all lliose
delegates pushed themselves in. smiling
and giggling as thoujrh they were
doing: something mighty funny.
"Our house hadn't boon in sueh disorder
in twenty years. It looked as
though a couple of amateur trams had
been plavincr basketball in it. My

as people-will do under such
conditions, although they know that
nobody will believe what they say;
the guests assured us that it was all
right, hut 1 could see them squinting
around and inking mentnl noles for
future reference, and inside of a week
the story was sill over town flint our
house was a fright, and no respectable
cow could live in it.
"That was th<> most miserable evening
I ever spent, my friends, and 1
have never forgiven the people wlic
took part in that uprising. And yon
may ho sure T'll never treat another
man as I was treated."

Susan Minshall, one of the bright-'J

est little girls in town, says that if 1
"you ?0 to a teacher who calls you ^
dear, you can learn a heap faster,"!
and proves it by saying that one of (
the little McLane boys asked Mrs. \
Fulp, who was supplying for Miss
Dixon, a question in arithmetic, and j
she told him, calling the little boy, I.
"My darling honey child," and, says j;
Susan, "he learned it right away!'' |.
