For three generations of men tb South Carblina College has wrought i1 great work for the unification and pr< perity of the Rtate. For three genei ations her sons have honored their alm mater by useful lives and splendid citi zenship, aud today, in the characte and strength of the members af il faculty and in the yariety and thoroul ness of its literary scientific and la, law courses, it stands eminent; ia th quality of its work it is the peer of an nniversity of the South. A variety c courses leading to the several bacca aureate degrees in Arts, Science, Lav Engineering (Civil and Electrical). an Pedagogy, is offered, with the most lit eral choice of studies and the wide; possible elective opportunity. The fa( ulty has recently enlarged and increa. ed the facilisies for post-graduate worl and placed the opportunity for such at vanced university study within reac of aU who may desire it and who eat not go out of the State to obtain it. Ei ery year the College has a number ( studentsworking foe post-graduate de grees. Its chemical, biological, and physic laboratories are well equipped an have each a masler teacher at its head and the College library, with its 35,00 volumes, is the delight of a student heart. The College offers special induc ments to ambitious young men and w men in its generous provision for th conferring of scholarships on meritoi ious students at the close of each se, sion. Five of these scholarships ar conferred upon distinguished membez of the Freshman Class: four in th Sophomore Class, and three in tbe Jun or Class. In addition to these scholai ships, by an Act of the General Asseml ly in 1904, two Special Normal Scholai ships for men teachers are given t each county in the State, the value ( each being equivalent to 98. This gij cannot be regarded as a charity-fa from it. The money will be paid bac to the Statea thousand fold in the be1 terment of the common schools of th State, which are established and mnait taned solely for the purpose (or shoul be) of rearing good citizens-men an women whose lives shall be devoted the common weal. The men who hor estly accept these scholarships are nc accepting charity,but are simply bein partly paid in advance for the har work, the self-sacrifice, the grind which they subject themselves for th good of the State. The teaching force of the facult numbers seventeen professors, adjun< profesors, and instructors, each of whoi is a specialist in his own departmnen and has enjoyed the finest advantage offered in the great universities of thi country or Europe.

Hence He Couldn't see the Poetie h Side of Farm Life. ;e "Oh, yes," a man in the hotel lobby ( e was overheard to say. "I'm a real n farmer now. My farm only costs me d about $75 per month now, so you can see I'm getting along." Then the man was heard to comment upon farm y( t labor. 1- "It's all right to talk about the poetry 1- of farm life," he said, "but if farm life Is poetry I want the prosiest sort of prose in mine. Is there any poetry In greasing harness? Do you find any rhyme and rhythm in milking a double jointed, back action cow twice a day? Well, I guess not" "But there's the scenery," his com panion interjected, "and the smell of grain" e "Yes," said the amateur farmer, "and ; the chiggers, and the red bugs, and y- holes in the fence, and rats in theseed e- corn, and the potatoes sprouting. And a if you are through plowing for awhile and haven't anything better to do you fix the wheelbarrow for recreation, or you can see that the pen is made hog . proof, or that the water trough doesn't e leak too much. Then If everything 4 y else fails and it's too rainy to do any )f thing else you can get out a second- : l- hand kit and fix the crupper on the : " harness or nail strips of boiler plate d on the feed box so that crib eater of a : plug won't have too many splinters in him when he dies.

A Custom of the American Colonies Before the Revolution. d Before the Revolution, miniters of : l: the Anglican church in those American 0 colonies where that church was estab s lished by law were remunerated "in kind" instead of in money. Maryland gave an incumbent forty pounds of to- & e bacco a year for every tithe payer in : the parish, whether churchman or dis - senter, white or colored. These terms : e were handsome enough to secure the : S pick of the clerical market. In Vir e ginia the stipends represented a fixed : and unvarying quantity, by weight, of : the manufactured leaf. These stipends : were rather beggarly in quantity., In : o a bad year even the "sweet scented : >f parishes," where the minister's salary : [t was calculated on a high prioed and : ,r exceptionally fragrant tobacco, yielded : k only about $500 a year. The parishion ers sometimes refused to Induct a cler "gyman unless he would consent to take d one salary for serving two parishes. In d 1758, when the price of tobacco had , greatly risen, the house of burgesses: i- passed a law fixing the cash equivalent : t of debts payable in tobacco at one- 2 gthird their true value, thus wiping out 2 d two-thirds of the Incomes of ministers. I o Patrick Henry made his- first fame in e defending this' law when a test case ywas brought in behalf of the injured Sclergymen. A Dead Moome. SWhen a bull moose lies dead in the forest ho looks like some strange ante r diluvian animal, with his square pre d hensile muffle and horns spreading'iat erally, a peculiarity which he shares L with the prehistoric Irish elk and the d nearly extinct European elk of later 'times. The huge form tells of strength and swiftness, and withal the still dan Sgerous gleam of the eye, glazed in its s last stare, bids the hunter pause and e- feel almost guilty of a crime in the de n struction of so much that is grand and a ,weird, a feeling very different from the h sentiment supposed to attend the dslaughter of a deer. But the triumph of mastering the wariest and bravest animal in the woods by. fair still hunt in lg and by grimly sticking to the track d for many a weary mile amply atones n for any regrets.-Century. 3sneak Thieves In Churches. I An old sexton was discussing the tamount of stealing that Is done in r churches. "Scarcely a day passes," he s. said, "when the church Is open with out some distracted woman coming to ig me bowed down with grief because >n somebody has stolen her purse. There are certain contemptible thieves who prey on unsuspecting women who a: pray so hard that they forget to look after their pocketbooks.
