KEMPER COOKE A most unique character hastily left us, with whatever imperfections he had, upon his back. He was a man of ability, though somewhat too erratic at times. He was needed In the Senate where the checkrein iB always too slack. Whatever else may be said of Kemper he was an economist. He believed iu making buckle and tongue meet. He carried that out in his private business. He was a well to do farmer, as well as "Backwoods Statesman." He was educated, and knew how to handle himself in any rough and tumble fight. There was one feauture of his life, not mentioned by the newspapers, and from a highly reliable source. He went to Furman University as a ministerial student; and, at one time, preached in Baptist churches. He was regarded in ecclesiastical circles, as a promising representative. While his church, we believe, does not believe in falling from grace, Uo WOtt nnt a aatnt ? We regret Kemper's death, though we never laid eyes on anything but his familiar newspaper photographs. ?Calhoun Times.

When they turn in for the night it's buzz, buzz, buzz; bite, bite, bite; and tight, light, light. Thus they are pretty apt to have some rather horrifying dreams about giant mosquitoes. However, that is not supposed to be the case in-this week's Know Any Digger story, contributed by George C. Mur| phy, of St. Mary's, Kutis., who writes as follows: A few years ago I was seated on the bank of the Kaw river doing a little fishing with a pole and line. The afternoon was warm and the mosquitoes were very bad. in fact they kept getting worse as the afternoon progressed. 1 noticed one mosquito coming toward mo and he was every bit the size of a bird and had a tusk on him the size of a load pencil. Well, 1 picked up a fair sized stick and struck ut him good and hard, but, as luck would have it, I only clipped him enough to make him hike for home. Things wero going along nicely after that and the llsh were biting swell. There was a sort of drone in the air. and I thought it was an airplane passing over until it drew closer and closer and then through the trees I saw a swarm of giant mosquitoes flying toward me at full speed. I Jumped up and started on a run along the bank of the river and every time I looked back the mosquitoes were up on me closer. 1 was nearly exhausted and the mosquitoes were not over live feet from me when 1 spotted an old boiler lying along the bank ahead and 1 made a dive for that and crawled in pulling the lid down behind me. 1 felt pretty sufe in there until something struck me in the leg and I knew that the mosquitoes wero swarming around the boiler and were set on getting me. 1 went to straighten myself out a little in the boiler and my hand fell.upon a rock. 1 picked it up and reached back and Just bent that mosquito's tusk down on the inside so ho couldn't get away. Several others pushed through the boiler and I Just bent their tusks down as they came through. They were all stuck there and couldn't get away but they fought and flapped their wings so hard that they just carried the boiler and myself up In the air. I Anally peeked out and found myself sailing along about Ave hundred feet in the air and moving along just about Ave miles an hour. Since none of the other mosquitoes followed us I Just threw the lid away and settled down for a nice ride. They carried me over the town and then started westward. About two miles out of town they began to weaken and slowly descended to the ground. We landed in a wheat fleld Just off the main highway so I crawled out and walked over to the highway and caught a ride back to town. No one would believe my story so a bunch of us drove out to the fleld to see the mosquitoes, but none could be found anywhere. They all laughed at me, but I'll bet those "skBHtam" just rested up and flew on with the boiler until overcome by starvation.? The Pathfinder.
