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

T.st recently we heard of electric

leading no avenue of escape. For a
man to go over the high cliffs meant

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,

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.
Tho moral Is that every man should

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. When dying, he said: "I suppose
I nn\ tho most miserable man
on earth."
Not in position and fame.?Lord
B?-a< onstield enjoyed nioro than hi#
share of both. He wrote: "Youth is
a mistake, manhood a struggle; old
age a regret."
Not in miliary glory.?Alexander
the Great conquered the known world
in his day. Havinc done so, he wept
in his tent, because, be said. "There
are no more worlds to conquer."
Where-. then. Is happiness found?
The answer is simple: "In Christ
alone." He said, "1 will see you again,
and yout heart shall rejoice, and your
Joy no man taketh from you." (John
16 22.)

HAVE Y(iuTH READ THIS?
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."
