TROOPER SLIGHTLY IN ERROR
Thought and Asserted Himself to Be
Better Than His Officer, but
He Was Not.
Major General Sir Frederick CarTington,
who died the other day, was
in his earlier years one of the best
boxers in the British army. IIis principal
services to the empire were
rendered in South Africa, and it is
told that among the Bechuanaland
police he was known as "Fighting
Fred," because he had brought that
famous force up to its high state of
efficiency by thrashing every man
in it.
In this connection the 6tory is also
told that during the Zulu war Carrington
having been placed in charge
of an irregular regiment, noticed
that one of the troopers, who probably
imagined that he had only u
"haw, haw" officer to deal with, deliberately
failed to salute him.
"Why don't you salute me?" remanded
the general. "Because I'm
a better man than you are," was the
insolent reply. "Indeed," said the
general, "we'll soon see about that,"
and live minutes later the "belter
man" was carried senseless into his
tent. And next morning the general
had the offender up before him and
gave him three days' C. B. for "fighting
in camp," a sentence, however,
which he promptly remitted.
SAD DISCOVERY
^
"IIow docs Brown like the high
position he was recently promoted
to ?"
"Not very well."
"But 1 thought it was paying him
$10,000 a year?"
"So it is. But he's discovered
that his employers expect him to
earn it."
NEW FRIENDSHIP RENOVATES.
The new friendship renovates us
much because it is likely to bring the
newest of our lives to the front?perhaps
the newness that we have not
otherwise dared to show?as to bring
us new ideas.
Our aims, our loves, ourselves will
alter whether or no. There aire many
forced renewings. "We renew ourselve
by delightful associations and
by growing up with our children.
But it is within the power of our will
to renew ourselves almost daily in
those "intangible and shy matters"
of our inner life which make our
outer lives sanest, sweetest, best.?

KEEN BUSINESS INSTINCT.
George, four years old, while playing
with a ball, broke a large window
of a neighbor. His papa told him he
woidd have to pay for the same out
of his hank. This worried him very
much.
Several evenings after a gentleman
called for a visit. He liked George's
baby sister very much and offered to
buy her for $5. George climbed on
his papa's lap and whispered: "Sell
her; then we can pay for the window/*

Nearly Half of Corn Crop Lost.
A loss of 300,000.000, bushels
i of corn, the nation's greatest
farm crop, has resulted from
j the great damage wrought by
drought and other conditions
since July 1, it-is estimated by
the government's agricultural
experts in their August crop
report. A total production of
: 2,072,000,000 bushels of corn
was predicted. This is 452,000,000
bushels less than last year's
crop.
The general condition of corn
was placed at 75.6 per cent of a
normal compared with 86.9 per
cent on July 1. Kansas was hit
hardest, the condition there
having been reduced from 81 per
cent in July to 30 per cent on
A 1 Ol-lnU/^mn r>/wf

with a condition of 44 againt 87
in July, and Nebraska reported
G7, against 91 July 1. These
three States have almost 19 per
cent of the total area planted in
corn this year.
Rock Hill Talks of Dispensary.
Immediately following the raid
on the so-called social clubs in
the city and the resultant suits
before a magistrate, says the
Rock Hill Herald, there began
the quiet talk among a certain
class to get up a petition for an
election to again have a dispensary
in Rock Hill.
Though it is true that this
small beginning was due to an
irresponsible few fellows who
have but lit tie regard for aught
but their own selfish desires and
pleasures, the "talk" has grown
to such an extent as to warrant
consideration on the part of the
r?itiypns who most -assuredlv
would not care to have a dispensary
here.
Inquiry in an unobstrusive
manner made by The Herald
representative indicates that
there are many persons inclined
to tacitly support such a movement
for several reasons.
One of these is that the city
would get a considerable amount
of revenue which is now going
out of town. Another that it
would solve the social club problem
as it relates to some methods
of conducting such a club. Yet
another is that intoxicants will
I be used here more or less, then
' why not have the traffic under
recognized control. And there
are a few other reasons, largely
ones of a personal character.
Worms Injure Greenville Cotton.
From Dunkin township, Greenville
county, is sent out alarming
reports of the invasion in
that section of a small worm that
is devouring cotton bolls. Large
fields of cotton, it is said, are infested
with the worm, and the
farmers are greatly worried.
mi a ? f a. 1
iney cannot account ior tne
appearance of the worms, and
say they are the first of the kind
ever seen in that section. The
1 worms are rapidly spreading
I over the lower section of Greenville
county, and it is feared that
unless something: is quickly done
to stop the ravages of the pest,
the crop will be seriously damaged.
