Fathers and mothers will then be occupied each evening with the taBk of trying to call back knowledge, stored away a score or more years ago, to help Willie or Mary over the rough places. It is well, at this time, to call to 'attention that parents should start right with the school teacher. One mistake made so often is that the school teacher is not given the proper support from the home. The teachers elected by your Board of Trustees are put in these responsible positions after careful consideration of their character and ability and you should realize they have the interest of your child at heart. Parents are too prone to accept without question tbeir children's side of a difficulty at school and will censure the teacher in the presence of the child without taking the pains to go to the teacher for the other side of the story. This often leads to the child's losing respect for the teacher and causes no end of trouble ' thereafter. A good plan to plan to follow Is, to meet the teacher, who will teach your boy or girl this year, then visit the school room and stiy long enough to know how the lessons are taught and if your child has trouble with the teacher get both sides before you pass judgment Don't criticise the school until you * go and see for yourself. You can hurt Its usefulness by telling what someone told you. A little more "pulling together" with the teachers this year will make a more successful school year for Cheraw. A "Wink" and the Clock. A suggestion has been made by "Electrical Merchandising,'* a magazine devoted to the electrical industry, that electric lighting companies everywhere, at a certain hour, "momentarily wink," giving notice to the people of the time to set their clocks and watches, and New York World calls attention to it and approves it. It would be a simple thing to do and one thinks of no objection to it. The telephone companies were compelled a year or two ago, even iD the smaller cities, to suspend thel custom of telling the time to inQuir.

The "wink" of the lighting company at nine o'clock or ten o'clock would not Interfere with comfort?it would last a small fraction of a sec. ond?but the head of the family who, in Columbia, is usually the mother thereof, would be on the lookout for it and set the clock. V ?? % The above Columbia State editorial explains a remedy for a long felt inconvenience in Cheraw. We understand this could easily be put in operation by our Light Co. We do. not know whether there would be any expense for this service or not but as the town does not afford a town clock surely they woulj} arrange the cost of this convenience which would certainly be small. "llmslopogaaa" Sir Rider Haggard has revealed to the world that that valiant tfhrrlor and strategist "Umslopogaas" % not a mere creature of Imagination. He was a Swail chieftain of high and noble lineage, who had been a warrior before he took service nnder the Brit' Ish flag. Tears after Sir Rider had enshrined the chief In fiction, the fact was mentioned to him, and Umslopogaas expressed his delight that Lundanda (Sir Rider Haggard) had written a book to show that once there was a Zulu people with mighty kings. But who was "She" and where did "She" come from? Tears ago It was i suggested that Sir Rider got his inspiration from Moore's "Epicurean"; he denied the allegation, bnt he never told her real origin. It Is better so? "She" was spun of the web of mystery. Man Wants but Little; But Woman? Alice went with her brother, Ben, to ' see her first boxing exhibition. Through i the entire set of preliminaries she sat with a blase air of a regular boxing fan. Then when the main battle began she yelled with the best of them. In the seventh round of the battle there was a surprise In the form of a knockout. The crowd went wild. Alice cheered and cheered. After a tlnje she and Ben pushed their way through the crowd to the street. "Well, how did you like It?" Ben asked. "It waa wonderful!" Alice enthused. "But I ti^ver saw anyone act so stingy. They might at least have given one encore." o Meat Importations From China. Chinese meats Imported Into this country consist of hams and sausage. The hams are cured In a manner i ' similar to ours. Dave a peculiar ooor, are small, and of poor quality, Judged by American tastes. Tha sausage Is prepared from pork, and is about the size of a thin frankfurter, Is hard and oily, and has an odor pronounced unpleasant to the occidental nose. These products are consumed exclusively by the Chinese, who consider them quite a delicacy.

Don't Qive to Charity, They 8hould, Old Aristocracy Charges. The English "new rich" have to bear i almost as much criticism as the prime minister, and from almost as mixed a source. Their natural enemies are the poor and th^ new poor, and the latter j element seems to feel strongest on the ; subject. The aristocracy have taken i lately to publishing their sentiments J about the people who have usurped their place. One of the charges they I make Is that the new rich don't know i how to give, and that as a result hosI pltals and charitable Institutions are I being forced to close up. It may not be, say the aristocracy dubiously, that the new rich are wilfully selfish. But they are not used to money, and so are not used to giving It away. Another allegation, made by a peppery daughter of an Impoverished duke, was that the new rich had never done anything to make the world beautiful and that as a class they had produced no great art or literature. Socially the new rich have to bear the brunt of all the changes. An uctress said the other day that she never saw before the war the people who now fill the stalls In the theaters. The people with good manners who used to alt In stalls before the war have disappeared and their successors lack breeding. One day somebody ate oranges In the stalls and the feeling of calamity In aristocratic circles was strong for weeks. Extremes in styles are also blamed on the women of the profiteer class, who are declared by their enemies to have learned the art of dressing In their jrlginul homes In the East epd of London.?Mary Henke in Los Angeles Express. 1 alk.
