THE UNMUSICAL SOLOIST
Music hath charms—at least it should;
Even a homely voice, sounds good
That sings a cheerful, gladsome song
That shortens the way, however long.
A screech fife, a bass drum’s beat
Is wonderful music to marching feet;
A scratchy fiddle or banjo’s thump
May tickle the toes till they want to
jump.
But one musician fills the air
With discords that jar folks every
where;
A pity it is he ever was born—
The discordant fellow that toots his
own hom.
mony/Tsvto take place at five o’clock
Wednesday aftemooh, September 2, at
New Prospect church.
Miss Wofford is a sister of Miss
Kate V. Wofford, county superintend
ent of education, and like her has
been interested in educational work
since her graduation from Winthrop
two years ago. Rev. Crawford is a
native of Charleston and a graduate
of the Citadel and the Presbyterian
Theolo
logical Seminary.
o —
He
gets in
see—
“Now turn
the front where all can
the spbt-light right on
me.
He says and sings in tones sonorous
His own sweet halleluojah chorus. ■
Refrain and verse are both the feme—
The pronoun I or his own name.
He trumpet^, his worth with such
windy tooting
That louder it sounds than cowboy’s
shooting.
This man’s a nuisance where ever he
goes,
For the world soon tiresNqf the man
who blows.
Whether mighty in station or hoer
Unwelcome’s the fellow who : toots his
own horn.
The poorest wood chopper makes the
most sound, .*
A poor cock clatters the most pans
around;
The rattling spoke carries least of the
load;
The jingling pennies pay^ least that is
owed;
A rooster crows but lays no eggs;
, A braggart blows but drives no pegs.
He works out of harmony with any
team,
For others are skim milk and he is
the cream.
“The world” so far as he can see,
“Consists of a few other folks and
WE.” * ^
He richly deserves to be held in
scorn— •
The ridiculous fellow that toots his
own horn. —Joseph Morris.

Everyone in Clinton is looking for
ward to Tuesday night, September 1st,

Hollywood. The film company goes
bankrupt and Jerry, who in the mean
time has gotten rich, buys the Hi Art

Jerry to be his “leading lady.”
The scene for the third act is laid
in the garden of the Perkins’ home.
There is a surprise party in honor of
Rose’s return home'. A feature of the
third act is a song and dance done
by the movie farmers.

W. 0. COPELAND LOSES WIFE
Miss Sarah Copeland has just re
turned from New York where she was
called on account of the illness and
death of her sister, Mrs. W. O. Cope
land, who died on last Sunday morn
ing.
the marriage of their daughter. Mat- ~ Midnight motoring became such a
practice during the recent heated
period in London that the highways
were as crowded as at noon.
OIR Ronald Ross is one of the great
^ men of the British medical profes
sion. He is the man who first worked
out the way in which mosquitoes carry
malaria. He is also one of the lead
ing authorities of the world on trop
ical medicine.
Speaking recently on the Increasing
length of life, he said the average
length of life can be ’still further In
creased to one hundred years, at an
expense that would only amount to
sixpence a year for every Englishman.
“Eighty yeare ago,” said*Sir Ron
ald, “the average length of life In
London was about thirty-four years
and seven months for g man and
thirty-eight years and four months for
a woman. Today, it Ms fifty-three
years and nine months for a man and
fifty-nine years for a woman. Thus
medical science has In 80 years
given pa 20 years more of life.”
The editor of a large city dally,
quoting this remark, gays: “That Is
very interesting, but the entire in
crease in the length of life during
the last 80 years can hardly be cred
ited to medical science. Better liv
ing conditions, brought about by mod
ern building and plumbing, have prob
ably done more to prolong life than
anything else, except better food and
bathtubs.” * , .
Both Sjr Ronald and the editor show
a curious but very common confusion
of Ideas regarding just what is meant
by ''medical sciernyp.’’ The general
idea is that there are two kinds of
knowledge, ordinary knowledge and
‘‘scientific knowledge.” and that there
are at least two kinds of science, ordi
nary science and “medical science.”
That this Is incorrect will b# plain
on n moment’s thought. Science means
knowledge. All knowledge Is science,
whether it relates to man or to rocks,
to trees or to engines, to farming or'
to flying. All knowledge that is worth
anything is gained by observing and
experimenting, carefully proving each
fact, discarding what Is error and re
taining what is true. The only differ
ence between the^ farmer and the ex
pert in the United States Department
of Agriculture Is that the farmer’s
knowledge is limited to what is gen
erally known, while the expert test*
every theory by carefully conducted
and checked observations and experi
ments.
In the same way “medical science,*’
•r what we know about the human
body and its disorders and care, Is a
part of all knowle<lge or science. The
student of the body must also know
chemistry, physics, biology and many
other I subjects. Certainly “modern
building and plumbing, better food and
bathtubs” have helped to prolong
life. But what made these things
possible? Greater knowledge. ' All
knowledge is science, and science Is
one and not many.
