A news dispatch from (ireenviHe, S. C.. says: "Preparations are be ing made by Attorneys Jas. H. Price and Wilton 11. Karle to test tr?r the first time in South Carolina, in which an insurance policy is involv ed, what is generally known as the old "presumption of death" law, that is, where the law adjudges dead a person who has absented himself con tinuously for a period of seven years, without any one hearing if he is alive Quito an interesting sto ry is involved in the suit which the attorneys represent ing Mrs. Martha Samples and her husband. F M Samples, filed against the Lifelnsur ance Company of Virginia . In May 1904, il is alleged. Kdgar Samples, the 18 year old son of Mr and Mrs. Samples took out a life insurance policy with The Life In surance Company of Virginia In October of the same year, it is al leged. Kdgar Samples disappeared For over seven years now. it is said the parents have received no news from their son. not knowing wheth er he is dead or alive.

Take Up Study Early. j The Germans are farnotjB for their thorough mastery of languages. The university graduates ar? expected to converse in Latin and to read Greek authors at sight. Even the pupils whoee education has been confined to the public schools can generally use French without difficulty. The secret of this mastery, which is bo unusual lu this country, Is the thoroughness of the study required. An American delegate to an educa tional conference abroad last summer found a class of girls nine years old I busy with two French verbs, and us- - ' lng them^ln all varieties of form in i translating from German Into French. | In a class ten years old they were us ing all the regular verbB and the corn | inon parts of speech In the same way, analysing, constructing and giving the i rules In French. i At eleven years they were using the | Irregular verbs, memorizing French poems. writing compositions la i French, and all the conversation of j the classroom was Ip French. From i this they pass to the higher French lit ! erasure, thinking and talking wholly | In French. A similar course is pur i sued In English. A Lack of Obstacles. i A Scotsman who has worked for j many years on the railroads among the highlands of Scotland came to the : United States in his later years and ; settled on a section of homestead land ' on the plains of the far west Soon after his arrival there was a j project for a railway through the dis trict. The Scotsman was applied to as a man of experience In Buch mat | ters. "Hoot, mon." he said to the spokes i man of the delegation, "ye canna build a railway across this country." "Why not." Mr Ferguson?" "Why not?" repeated Ferguson with ? an air of effectually settling tho whole matter. "Why not? Dlnna ye see the country's as flat as a lloor, and ye hae nae place whatever to run your ; toonels through?" ? Youth's Compan i Ion. Highest ^Phone System.
