He's dead while he'tt still around, I "r Declaring that Johu C, CI ink sea lea is their choice for Governor of Mouth Carolina, a large number of the young ladies of Co averse Col lege have banded together to form a Converge College Cllnkscaies Club. The Converge College Cllnk scaio* Club wishes it distinctly un derstood that they are not suffra gettes. While in conversation with a prominent rt?al estate man a few days ago he remarked upon the scarcity of houses for rent In Cam den. Each woek we have inquiries from parties wanting to know if w$ have houses or rooms for rent listed in our want columns. A num ber of new houses could find ready rental in this city at present us new citizens are dally coming to Camden to make their homes among us. The three young men, Oldham, Morriiuan and ilotch, the three ha zers who caused the death of their ~T?row student at the University of North Carolina last fall were convic ted of manslaughter In the liills boro court last week, and were sen tenced to four months imprisonment with the privilege of being hired out to uny person In the state whom the county commissioners may desig nate. This means that the boys will bo hired to their fathers dur ing the 'our months and that the actual punishment will be very light, but *ho conviction carries with it a lasting stigma and deprives theru of citizenship.

March Four hun dred women and children hemmed in the automobile of Dr. V. W, Frh-<: rnann, begging him to twit them for tuberculosis. The crowd sur rounded the German physician out Mdo the hospital for deformltl** and Joint diseases and a squad of police reserves had to be called to make a path for him to the hoepltai door. * Physicians from all parta of the 1 United States earlier In the day gathered at Mount Hinal hospital to watch Dr. tfrledmann admlnlsteii hln vaccine, but were refused admission The only other medical men at th? clinic were three representatives of the government, at whose request other physicians were excluded. The hospital authorities explain* <i that the government physicians. fettl ed that premature reports of the < linlc would be made before thoy presented their official report to the government. Dr. Priedmann. it was said, had not made any request to have others excluded. Sixteen patients were treated at Mount Blnal hospital. A?tet the tert for Washington, where, it is sal Surgeon General Blue of the Uni ted States public health and marine I hospital service will issue a bulle tin Friday regarding the Predmann vaccine and results of Its use on pa tients here.

Dr. Frledmann plans to treat 3 5 cases of bone and knee tuberculosis tomorrow, mainly among children, at the hospital for deformities and joint diseases. .t Wife Who N?gt. The worst thing that the bad fairy ^ouldwlsb upon a man Is a nagging, fault-finding wife. The most savory of the dishes prepared by her hand tastes fiat and stale If served up with the BfiucG of fcsr complaints, and the cosiest or homes is a place of unrest If It Is the storehouse- of her recrim inations. I?ven If there Is Just cause for Jealousy, nagging Is an aggrava tion rather than a cure. It breeds the spirit of antagonism and the case of the Injured party Is hurt rather than helped. The only safe cure for straying af fections Is to make oneself so attrac tive,. so agreeable, that thp deslrod love and attention Is irresistibly held to its original moorings. Sometimes sudden evidence of indifference awakes the errant one to. the fact that the fitrayinj? may be mutual. Some times renewed outbursts of affection, of care and interest, is the tonic of weakened ardor. Sometimes splendid results are accomplished by wearing smart and becoming clothes and brushing \JP the wits and vivacity. Swift's Joke on Partridge. Partridge* the almanac maker, who taught Old Moore his business, will be remembered as the victim of an ex traordinary practical joke played on him by Dean Swift. Against Partridge's almanac for 1708 the dean published a rival al manac, predicting Partridge's death on March 29, about 11 at night, of 4* raging fever. And on March 30 ap peared a pamphlet giving an account of the qlmanac maker's death with his oonfession that he was an impostor.. This was followed by Swift's "Elegy on the Death of Mr. Partridgo," whiott so completed iho deception that th? Stationers company struck Partridgo ofT tho rolls and applied for an in junction against the publication of al manacs, in his name. ' Partridge advertised that he "was not. only alive, but was also alive upon March 29." Put jio one believed him, ? London Chronicle. Waste in Coal Range. Economic waste, represented by the coal range, was strikingly illus trated In tosts made recently at the London electrical exposition. Demon stration proved that the shrinkage of meat when cooked in a coal range la surprisingly great. A leg of mutton weighing eight pounds and eight ounces showed a shrinkage of tw& pounds and eleven ounces when oooX? ed in the coal range, whereas a leg of mutton weighing nine pounds show ed a Iobs of one pound and four ounces when cooked in an electrlo oven. Thfe shrinkage for the gas oven was two pounds and four ounces on an eight-pound leg of mutton. "Nervy" Woman, A prominent citizen says t^e "nerv lest" woman he ever saw Was one who, instead of boarding the car promptly. Inquired for the conductor.
