The following i* from the pen of Robert Quillen, of Fountain Inn, S. C., und it is along because in it there is much food t'or reflec tion: The diamond -back rattler is an ugly brute, but he has two fl.no qual ities. he always rattles before ho strikes, a good point popSQafN in common with the flivver; and lie never runs away. Ho may lie, lor hours among the palmetto leaves or pine needles, content with lite an obvious pacifist, innocent as a lamb. Hut the instant any sound disturbs him he coils and raises his war cry. In other words, .any strange sound in his neighborhood seems to him an apparent aggression and arouses in him a quick antagonism. Well, yoU blame the rattle'. Humans aie by lit that wuy also. If the boss has wit enough to bo the. boss, he can use snappy adjectives while telling you a few things for |he good of your soul; while if he is of .another type, his slightest crit icism h and the apparent enmity that prompt* it will cause you to see red and /earn to crack a chair over, his head/ There were officers, you will remember, who were shot because they were tactless? because they aroused a spirit of antagonism when they meant only to exercise their righteous and necessary authority.. Say to your small son, "Old-Tim.<v, you forgot to pull those weeds in the back yard; better get at it." Make your tone casual and do not so muen look at him, and you will get away with it. Suppose, instead, that your face reddens? that your eyes snap that your tone confesses anger ? and that you say to him: "Young fellow, I told you to pull those weeds. Now get at it and make it snappy, or you won't sit down- comfortably before next Tuesday." Now see before you a young dia mond-bac k rattler. He bristles with antagonism. True, he goes; but he goes sullenly and his heart is full of rebellion. The only reason he doesn't strike is. becau-'" he is no match for you. A little rascal full of rage aroused by a foolish parent isn't a lovelv sight; but that <|ui?.k reaction to; any sign of aggression will pull him through many tight places in years to comO. Nature gave it to him be cause he needs it. Something would get him if he didn't have it. Last week .las. I>.

Croatia nd in Pee Dee Advocate)' The other day the Charlotte Ob server had a news letter from States ville that told of a most unusual incident. A book agent selling relig ious books called on a lawyer to sell him a set of bookx. The lawyer told him that' he would think the matter over and let him know whether ho would buy the books, and later in the day he told the agent that he would not purchase. That afternoon as the lawyer went along the street tlie agent fell upon him with abusive language, demanding an apology and beat up the astonished lawyer. Very promptly the agent was arrested and next morning the ease was tried in mayor's court. The lawyer testified that he had listened long and patiently to the agents speil . the morning before and that he had been entirely within bis rights in refusing to buy books he did not want. Very properly the agent was convicted and fined. What if agents were to begin beat ing up all of us who don't buy their books, who will be safe any more? The agent goes to a salesmanship school and learns to put the prospec tive customer through the third de gree. The method of approach is something like this: "Your name has been given me as a person able to appreciate the finest things in liter ature. Of course I do not call on any but a chosen few." TCight then and there if you have a sense of humor you burst out laughing. That agent will pursue relentlessly every body who is even dimly suspected of having enough cash to make the first payment. On and on the silvery tongued agent goes, flattering you on your supposed intellectual powers and glibly assuring you that once you buy the Great Compendium of Useful Knowledge, your home will become a shining center of learning. As she pours on the flattery (which sensible people don't even listen at) she watches you shrewdjy from the corner of her eye to see how much of it is soaking in. Usually it soaks pretty thoroughly and before you know what you are doing you sign on the dotted line and thereby pledge yourself to pay three dollar.* down and three dollar# a month for the rest of your natural life. Thon tho months come so fast they fairly tread on each others heels. You have a .set of books that are practically worthless. The agent assured you that from thi? golden treasury you could get every gem of information your chiidicn will ever need In their school lives. You wake up to the fact that most of the things Sally and Jim and Johnnie and Kate need to know aie not even mentioned in. j the books and such things jis are! mentioned have about one line of spare given them. Now this is not true of all the sets of books or references offered by agents. I've seen one or two that are exceedingly valuable and of such J fascinating interest that children lay? to read them. Hut where one good j set is offered there are a dozen that J have no merit, except to make a profit or about fifty per cent for the glib agent. The best way to buy books is through the local dealers or direct from the publishers. And pay cash brother, idster- -oh pay cash! The other day I told an agent I wouhl never buy books on t ho in stallment plan. She looked at me with mingled pity and scorn. She hastened to say, "I assure you that the best people do it." I can't give you anything like the emphasis she placed on. the "best people" and her tone of voice clearly c?st me out from that choice company. She went on to say that tho price of her work was the smallest thin^ to con sklev it nr.;l that if. nn in cledibly brief and fleeting period the books would be paid for before the money was missed. Out of a wealth of bitter experience I refued to dec orate the. dotted line with my humble signature. Two days before I'd re fused a similar trade after listening long but not patiently to the speil. A few days later a third agent bored me almost to tears. The combined price of these three "works" was about two hundred dollars ? a golden fortune! But then there is one t h invi to be thankful for: the agents did 110L beat mc up. That's worth a good deal. The real home of tho old-fashioned lilac is the mountain? and valleys of Bulgaria. Engineer McNair, running between Columbia and Yorkville on No. Is, i .said last night that Catawba river #i Catawba Junction was higher yester day afternoon than it had been for SO vera I years past.

Mr. McNair also called atu>n tiort to the fact that today, July 8th, is the anniversary of the big Hood that did so much damago to railroad property at Kingville in 1908. ? .York j Enquirer, > ' CLEMSON COLLEGE Scholarship Examinations V 1 1 Competitive examinations to, till vacant scholarships in forty-two Counties will be held on Friday, July II, lt'21 beginning at 0 a.m., under the supervision of the County Super intendents of Education. * Four-year scholarships ?
