Brick Masons and Carpenters A brief comment in the Walterboro Press and Standard points to the fact that most carpenters and bricKmasons of this /lay and time, are men averaging 1A years of age and over, and we expect that the statement is quite correct, and it is a regrettable fact that tins is true. Indicating, as it does, commented the Press an/1 Standard editor that the young men of today are all white collar Jul) hunters, where the work they do iH .supposed to be easier and more genteel, instead of going into lines />r work requiring the use of muscles. The youngsters of today do not see anything much to the real trades? carpenters, hricktnasons, blacksmiths, machinists and so forth. Hut it is a la< : that the skilled worker in these 11ties ran and do make more money titan d<> clerks, salesmen, soda j i k. e. bookkeeper* and so forth, classed as w ji iicollar workers. In p.'Utt w?- knew a brick and stonemason in Massachusetts. William Keegati. who was a college graduate. He wan a very skilled worker, and thoroughly knew his business. Although $10 a day in those days was considered very high pay for brickmasons, Keegan got that for his work whenever and wherever he worked, and lit- did a good deal of work, partly supervisory, for the state of Massa< hii^ its He was not only a skilled worker, but very rapid. He could p ally do more and did do more work, than two ordinary workers and laughed about it. <m one occasion at a week end, ho home from the western part of the state to Shrewsbury, on a Friday aft'-rr.oon A woman in the village had he.-n trying to have a chimney i ;ii' to a two-story house, and she :!....uln that the prices quoted her l y otle-r hrit kmasons was too high, hh-- appealed to Keegan.

Finding himself outnumbered more [ than two to one and preskod on all I hides Ferguson retreated eastward. He was finally forced to stop and figh' On the brink of a high mountain precipice with ground sloping off gradually on three sides. Ferguson took up a defensive position on King's Mountain. The hold frontiersmen closed in from the front and on both Hanks, pinning him to the ground and leading no avenue of escape. For a man to go over the high cliffs meant certain death, Oil the morning of October 8, 1780, the Americans attacked and the Hat tie of Kings Mountain was on. Fighting Indian fashion,' the only way they knew, each man worked his way through the woods and over the boulder-strewn slopes. A British charge drove them hack for the moment, but fire coming In on the redcoats from both flanks forced theni to return to their position ut the top of the hill. A mountaineers bullet found its mark in Major Ferguson and he fell dead. Vastly outnumbered, with losses piling up every minute, and with no means of escape, the survivors raised the white flag of surrender. The British lost about 400 men. The American loss wan less than 100. The prisoners of war were paroled at once. The frontiersmen divided up the booty?rifles, equipment and supplies of the defeated legion and scattered to their mountain homes. Some of the British soldiers stayed In the mounI tains The Tories antl others made their way towards the seaeoast. British troops never again set feet In the sacred mountain country of the Carolinas during the Revolutionary war. The government is Incorporating the site of the battle of King's Mountain In a National Military Park, adjoining which there is to he a State Recreation Park where the people of the Carolfnas may enjoy the mountain country and the facilities it affords for life In the big outdoors, at moderate cost. TAKE THE HOME PAPER We once knew a man who was too stingy to take the newspaper In his home town and always Bent over to borrow his neighbor's paper. One evening he sent his son over tn borrow the paper, and while his son was on his way ho ran Into a large swarm of bees anil In a few minutes his face looked like a sumtier squash. Hearing the agonized cries of his son. the father ran to his assistance and in doing so ran Into a barbed wire fence, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of tho hole In the fence, got Into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the farmer's wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four-gallon churn full of cream lntd a basket of kittens and killed the whole flock. She Blippod on the cream and fell downstairs, breaking her leg and swallowing a $10 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the cream into the parlor and ruined a $40 carpet. During the excitement, the ilauglit? r eloped with the hired man and took all tho family's savings with her.

ON THE MAGIC OF MILK The Story of Milk in Many Clime# and Under Many Condition# Some year*. ago Zllpba t'arruthem < prepared an article for publication by th*- National Dairy council telling of the mafic of milk In thin article it Hated that The Aryan#, one of the earliest race# of men. believed in the actual mMmm of a magical tow who produced not only milk but aJ#o yielded heal in# herb#, ambroela and precious Kern#. It was also stated thai our auceator# 3.600 years ago thought of ail good spirits In the world aa cow#. The dawu was mother of the sun and U was her udlk that nourished him. These were the "white cows" while the storm clouds were evil spirits called "red cows." Greatest of them all was the mooncow. giver of abundance. They could see her gold tipped horns as the new moon came, or as the old moon passed out 'l'he sky was a great verdant pasture The star-cows were fivehorned cattle of the heavens. Across the sky then flowed the great stream of heavenly milk, "The Milky Way.' The cow was worshipped In Babylonia and Tyre 2,000 years II. C. '1 he moon was identified as a cow in the cow-headed goddess called Hather, with the round moon between her horns. She watched the fertility of the land. The Nile was likened to a milk cow and ihe fertilizing water which it spread over the soil to the milk that sustains human life. Hather caused the river to overflow. David had 10 cheeses in the pack of provisions he was carrying to the army Justr'before he challenged and slew the Philllstine giant, Goliath. In India today milk is sprinkled over the heads of the newly married couple in blessing, and upon those of mourners to soften their sorrow. The most popular method of beauty culture among the Romans was to rub the face with pieces of bread soaked in milk. Both butter and milk were used as medicines from Roman times thru the middle ages. In the heart of Africa, Uganda, the tribal cows are so holy that they can be milked only when the precious fluid is cared for with the most elaborate ceremonies. On the Sahara desert, people live almost entirely on the milk and milk products of their grazing herdsgoats, camels, sheep. An Arab boy is as lithe and straight as the ideal athlete. Milk and its products give him the courage and physique to meet and conquer the many hardships of his life. In Japan where inilk has been as little used as anywhere In the world, people ^afe short in stature and their span of life is brief. Japan has recently bought dairy cattle hoping that the Japanese of the future will grow into "great big boys." Among the hardiest races of Europe are the Scandinavians, the Alpine Swiss, and the Scotch English. All three have always been users of dairy products. Cattle dkl not exist in America until Columbus, on his second voyage in 14D3. brought a few from Europe to the island of San Domingo. When the pilgrim fathers first set foot on Plymouth rock, they brought no cows and during the first two years paid dearly for the lack with the deaths of many young children Later pioneers remembered the lesson. As they pushed ever westward to the new frontier, the cow went with them. Oxen, sons of the cow, drew the covered wagons, and behind each wagon followed its two or throe milk cows. WHERE IS HAPPINESS? Not in unbelief.?Voltaire was an infidel of the most pronounced type. He wrote: "I wish I had never been born." Not In pleasure?I-ord Byron lived a life of pleasure. If any one did. He wrote: "The worm, the canker, and the grief are mine alone." Not in money.?Jay Gould, tho American millionaire, had plenty of thnt.

A message to boys and girls who are starting a new school year and a description of the new obligations which rest upon adults who wish to aid these young people formed the basis of Dr. Ernest Neal Orr's sermon at the Tabernacle church at Charlotte. There are some resolutions that should be made by students, their parents and teachers as they strive to make this a memorable scholastic term. Bald Dr. Orr. The importance of making wise use of time with every working day lived on a budget plan divided into hours of work, play and rest wag stressed. He urged the students to resolve that school days will find them eager and ready for work. ''There is a vital connection between working and learning, between hard work and success," be Baid. "Many a successful man is called lucky when the real secret has been his conslstant and persistent bard work. There is no such thing as a great achieving life does not show a vast deal of industry and energy. In the sweat of a man's face shall he eat bread and in the toil of the climber are the heights scaled and the far vision obtained," declared Dr. Orr. * He also asked the students to let these school days find them loyal to those who have afforded them the opportunities of an education. "We owe a great debt to the republic of which we are citizens," he Baid. "Ivet us not be critics to the extent that we shall lose sight of all that this great nation is doing in the way of giving its young people good and great advantages. There should be a loyalty to the fathers and the mothers who have made possible your going. Behind many a pupil In Charlotte and elsewhere there Is the sacrifice of the parents, a sacrifice which many do not seem to understand or appreciate. Let us. be true to Jesus Christ, who is the great teacher and friend without whose sacrifice and labor not one of us would have a ray of hope or a chance to make good in the world. He is the way, the truth and the life. Our supreme loyalty should be centered about Him." WHY 'GAMECOCKS'? I nique as the only University in the United States with the nickname Gamecocks." there has been mt:ch speculation as to how the University of South Carolina received the name. Back in 1900, when all the other schools 1n the state had plenty of tonnage on their football roster, the University put an eleven on the field that was woefully weak as to size and strength. The little fellows, hewever. made up for lack of weight by a determination and aggressiveness: that earned for them the title "Gamecocks." The nickname has stuck ever since. Dr. Ella Boole, world president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, couples a prediction of prohibition's eventual return with the assertion that drinking women "are laying the foundations" for future generations of "imbeciles and epileptics." ? % ? . HUNTIN' AND FI8HIN' South Carolina has more magnificent wi]d life resources than perhaps any other state and does less to conserve them, according to Havilah Babcock, president of the State Game and Fish Association and head of the department of English literature at the University of South Carolina. "The individualistic spirit of the South is the stumbling block in the way of game law enforement," says Dr. Babcock. 'That the low country streams, once legendary for their abundance of fish, are being depleted demands the rigid enforcement of our present^laws and the enactment of new ones.*' Sportsmen have increased out of proportion to the increases in wild life, he says. There are twenty times as many people hunting and fishing as there were twenty years ago. "The sooner the land-owner and the state recognize wild life as an investment, the better it will be for them and wild life," Dr. Babcock said. "It is estimated that for every partridge killed in the state, three dollars is spent. This makes the raising of quail quite profitable. Farmers in North Carolina today receive approximately six million dollars each year for leasing their land to hunters." Wants-For Sale FOR SALE?One circulating heater, used one season.
