( The Saluda negro who stole a J bale of cotton and then stole an- i other bale to replace it certainly , has a bright future if he could on- ]y get a foot-hold in Frisco. The press dispatches tell us that Vesuvius is in eruption again. ( There is something about the Dis- ( pensary Winding-Up Commission that reminds ws of Vesuvius. Probably the horse that broke through a large plate glass window in a Clio millinery store was laboring under the impression that it was the spring opening day, The appearance of so many chickens in New York is arousing I tho suspicions of ihe grand jury, but the disappearance of so many chickens in Dillon never arouses tile suspicions of the loan', police.

" " ^ 'Dillon county will hold its first primary March 15th," says the Chester Reporter, "and ?he , woods are full of candidates, as many asxnine wanting to be state senator." Our contemporary i s wrot.g. Only four are running for state senate, but Dillon county feels ho big right now that it will take nine senators to look after her interests at the state capital. The next census begins in April but we don't think anything has been done about extending Dil- ' Ion's corporate limits. It will be i ten years before another census is ] taken and that is a long time for I Dillon to be misrepresented before J the world in the matter of popula- t r?: 11??_ 1 11U1I. 1/VCI U11C-IU1UJ U1 1J1IIUU S ^ inhabitants hve in the suburbs, t outside of the half-mile radius, j and the next census will cut the town's population down to about 2,000 if th-i limits are not extended. We have been boaSling of a population exceeding 3,000 and when the next census figures are H published it will take a whole lot 1 of argument t o convince the H world that Dillon is the town its r citizens have been claiming it to be. Then again Dillon will be 1 making an effort before very long t to get a government building and * our population wi'l look mighty small when compared to the population of other towns in this district that have been wise enough to extend their corporate limits before the April census begins. r A quantity of men who are in *' the weekly newspaper business (J should be ploughing or something which demands muscle and not sn mnotl arrfxr maffar L> -- _ ...

There lives an editor^n the inerior of Pennsylvania, "Jim" Sweeney by name, who has a keen icnse of humor. Seeking to in:rease his fortune, Sweeney once vrote to a prospective advertiser. letting: torth in attractive tasnion he value of his paper as a medum of publicity. The advertiser vas captivated by Sweeney's leter, but desirous of more specific issuranees before he invested his nonev, he wrote to Sweeney sayng he had not heard of th5 rrumptown Sentinel. "Where ioes it circulate?" he asked. And n his illuminating: way, Sweeney wrote back: "The Trumptown sentinel circulates i n Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and it's Just about all 1 :an do to keep it from going: to !:?]."? Kansas City Star. What it is to be a College President. tJames H. Kirkland, Chancellor of Yauderbilt University, in the American Education Review.) To labor constantly for the world with no thought or self, to find difference and opposition where you ought to have active assistance, to meet criticism with patience and the open attacks of ignorance without resentment, to plead with others for their own good, to follow kleopld?s nights with days of incessant toil, to strive continuously without ever attaining?this is to be a college president. But this is only half the truth. To be associated with ambitious youth and high minded men, to iive in an atmosphere uhur&ed with thoughts o f the world's greatest thinkers, to drcatn of a golden age not in the past but in the tuture, to have the exalted privilege of striving to make that dream a reality, to build | gp great kingdoms of material cotitiuest and make daily life richle** and fuller, to spiritualise wealth and convert into weal to elinen personally enaracter ana elevate all human relationships, to leave the impress of one's life on a great and immortal institution?this, toj, is to be a college president.
