Hard Tiroes Then and Now
This is a panic. But let us contrast
conditions today with those af-.
ter the Civil War. We quote a few
scraps from Dr. Haworth's "History
of Our Own Times." With reference
to "Southern conditions," he
says in part: "Window glass has
given way to thin boards, in homes 1
and railway, conches"?"No furniture
replaced in four years"?"A set
of forks with whole tines is a curiosity"?"Clocks
and watches nearly
all stojrped"?"Hair brushes and
tooth brushes nearly all worn out"
?"Few have pocket knives"?Among
former luxurious providers, "you will
find neither coffee, tea, sugar, nor
spices of any kind"?"Even candles
in many cases have been replaced
by a cup of grease, with cloth for
a wick."
We still hear radios in every direction
now. Automobiles are spinning
to and fro. Paved roads are
being built. Children are being sent
to college as never before. Electric
lights beaming in every home. Bridge
parties as never known before.
Poker, fishfrys, and bootleg are still
in full blast. We haven't reached
bottom by a long shot. Let everybody
get down to brass tacks and
fight it through.?Calhoun Times.

British and other ocean adventurers

the chief objective of the north Pacific

Christian Heroism
"Listen to this bit of a story," said
Dr. F. D. Adams, as lie related the following:
"There was a little American
missionary, who was going home- to
stay after twenty years of service. At.
tbe request of the board she called In
at the leper colony In the Pacific, In
order to make a report. Soon after
she reached koine she discovered a
small white spot on her hand; and,
on consulting a physician, found It
was leprosy. Without breathing a
word of 'flt to anyone, she hade her
family and friends a cheerful good-by,
and came straight back to that leper
colony, where she took up her workaiiiong
the outcasts. Never an outcry,
never a groan, not even n plea for

Ancient Wheel May Be

Tb? oldest wheel yet found, dating
from about 8.000 B. 0- ha? t>eeu dl*
covered In an ancient alte In southern
Baluchlatao, it was announced in an
annual report of the archeological
survey of India.
It formed part of a two-wheeled cart
and Is believed to be about 1,000 years
earlier than the earliest wheels used
In Kgypt The find Is of especial significance,
since the wheel Is one of the
fundamental Inventions of mankind.
The discovery of Its principle greatly
altered the course of history.
On the same site, the report stated,
were found the ruins of hduses of
burned brick and of a large walled
excavation with a drain which evidently
was used aa h buth by ancient
people. They ulso wove fine cotton
materials.
Skeletal remains show that they
were a narrow-heuded group, perhaps
distantly related to the Mediterranean
peoples of Europe. Approximately
1,000 seals with undecipherable plcto-#
graphs were found bused, upon worship
of the great Mother God, with
cults recalling those of Bubylon and
Crete.
Tribute to Pertinacity
of New.spaper "Scribes"
J. P. Morgan, like his famous fathor,
learned that time Is money and
refused lo waste much of it on lnter vlews.
On one occasion, however, after
an Important trip to Europe, he
consented to see a reporter In his cabin
before the ship docked.
Tho reporter was on hand, but unfortunately
so were two or three dozen
more and the financier fled to his
cabin and locked the door behind him.'
But the reporter was persistent He
.wrote out a list of questions and
shoved them under ^l?e door. Then he
sat down and waited.
In due course, the list of questions
was shoved out and to the reporter's
gratified amazement, all the questions
were carefully answered and Mr. Morgan
had added certain news which wa9
of even more vital Interest to the
financial world.
But the real kick <of the Interview
was the line across the bottom.
"Don't tell anyone how you got this;
I don't want tp get a backache picking
up letters from the floor."
Devil FUh Family
Devil fish are huge rays of the family
Mantldae, which have a lozengeshaped
disk broader than long, with
the head free from the pectoral fins
and provided with a pair of anterior
processes and the tall long and whiplike.
The two genera and six or seven
species are confined to warm seas.
The best-known species are M. blrostrls,
sometimes called the blanket fish
by troplcul American pearl fishers,
from their belief that It attacks and
devours men after enveloping them In
its great wing-like peetornl fins, which
reach a breadth of 20 feet. It Is common
In tropical AtiM^lcun waters and
occurs on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States. The
name applies to the octopus and allied
eight-armed cephalopoda.
Meteorite*
The origin and composition of meteorites
never fall to arouse Interest
wherever they are shown. The origin,
of course, Is an unsolved mystery.
Many now believe meteorites to be
parts of other worlds, which, so long
ago that time cannot be reckoned,
met with catastro{)lie and complete
disintegration. Meteorites are of three
kinds?stone, stone-Iron and lro?.
They contain Iron,* nickel, aluminum,
carbon, phosphorus, sulphur and many
other familiar elements. No strange
substnuce has been discovered In a
meteorite, which fact lends stveiigtli
to the theory that tho .universe is essentially
uniform in its composition.
Parliament of Iceland
The alting, Iceland's parlianrentrte
the oldest in the world. It was formed
In 030 by a Norwegian named Ullljotur,
after a careful study of Norway's
method of local government. A site
for the new body was selected at
Thingvellir, or "plain of general assembly,"
and it was not until 1843 that
the alting moved to Reykjavik. The
parliament reached lis zeniTTT of power
between the years of 932 and 12G2. In
982 Erik the Red, banished by the
alting, discovered Greenland and many
Icelanders moved there. It wns while
en route there that Erik's son, Leiftir
the Lucky, was driven from his course
and reputedly discovered America.

The Story of A
Christmas Hymn
(By Mrs. Fred Ward, in Marlboro
County Herald, BennetUville, 8. C.)
It was the day before Ohjletroae
over one hundred years ago, in the
year 1&18 to be exact, when the Bettor
in the little village church in
Oberndorf went to the music teacher
in the neighboring village, Amadorf
saying: i
"My friends could you set to music
these verses that I have
could be sung at out Christmas service
on the morrow. .
The music teacher took the scrap
of paper on which the words were
written, sat down at the piano, and
| in a shorfctime had composed a tune
to fit. '
And the tune, like the worde, was
very simple. *
Try to picture in your mind...Hit.
service in that village church on that
long ago Christmas morning; the
church aglow with the light of J"*"?
candles, the pastor in his pulpit; the
throng of humble worshipers with
waiting hearts.
In the hush following the prayer
the organ loft pealed forth and the
village chdir?humble peasants for
the most part-lifted their voices a^d
the new bymn was heard for the first
time:
"iSilent night, holy "i^ht!
All is calm, all is bright, - .
Round yon virgin oth**/roild '
Holy infant so tender and mild,
.Sleep in heavenly peace.
"iSilent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven ftfa ,
Heavenly hosts sing A!lel?^v ?
Christ the Savior is boin.
How the hearts of the people must
have been thrilled by the beauty and
majesty of the hymn. And how the
hearts of "the pastor and music master
must have stirred.
"Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love s pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy_f?ce
With the dawn of r^eeming gra ,
.. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
The service was over, the people
were wending their way homeward
through the drifted snow and surely
the words and music of the new hymn
were ringing in their hearts.
Long ago it all happened, just the
result a day's work of preparation
Tor a simple village service.
Little did either the humble pastor
or his friend, the music teacher, think
that day that they were producing a
hymn that would be sung around the
[world wherever Christmas peop e
have met for more than a century.
Yet year after year love fot the
hymn grew. It sang itself first into
the churches of the neighboring villages
Then farther and farther
away it winged its way?across
Bavaria it travelled and then into
Austria up the Alps and over them.
About fifteen years after the hymn
was composed it was first published.
Then out of Europe it went, into
America and thence around the
globe. . m
Almost with apology the writer of
the words, Joseph Mohr spoke of the
hymn as simple and childlike. n
the spirit of . humility, Franz Gruber
composed the tune.
Simple and childlike the hymn is
and because of those very qualities
it makes its tender appeal U> i???
hearts of Christian people the world
round.
That well known deficit now amounts
to $4,989,309,90, the comp-.
troller-general says. It hegan in
1926 and has increased every year
sim-e at the rate of nearly a million
dollars a year, until this year, when
the increase, was only $104,000. The
state can now borrow any more money
until it is funded or paid off.
