Ua... the Hon Tolit Watson was a young lawyer In tho town and In after years ! wrote his Unprossions in the following picturesque languaro your readers will enjoy. W. A Hells. Ham berg, 8. C. "Ill tho good year of 1X77, 8am Jonee lit down In this veritable town of Thompson, and began to go for the devil and his unguis In a manner which was entirely new to said devil; also new to said angels. "Some one happened to remark In > my hearing that there was a little preacher up at the Methodist church who was knocking the crockery around In a lively style, and who was dusting [ tho Jackets of the amen coiner brethj ren In a way which brought the doui ble grunts out of those fuzzy fossils. | "I was not ravenously fond of ser[ moils. When 1 heard tho same comi monplaces droned out In the same | lifeless manner, It requires politeness [ to keep down yawns and nods. I didv n't yawn the day I went to hear Sam Jones. t "There -he was, clad in a little 3 Jump-tail coat, and looking very much llko the regulation preacher. He was not In tho pulpit. He was right next J i to the crowd, standing within the railings, and almost In touch with his . victims. His head was down, as If he was holding on to Ills chain of thought by the teeth, but his right hand was go' lng energetically up and down with 1 all tho grace of a pumphundle. And [ how ho did hammer the brethren! How he did peel the amen corner! How he did smash their solemn self'[ conceit, their profound self-satisfac,, tlon, their peaceful copartnership I with the Almighty, their placid con'(vletion that they were the trustees of the New Jerusalem! After a while, I with solemn, irroslstable force he called on them to rise in public and confess their shortcomings and kneel ' for divine grace. I "And they knelt. With groans and sobs, and tears, those bellweathers of the flock, fell on their knees and cried t aloud in their distress. Then what? i He raked us fore and aft. He gave us 1 grape and canister and all the rest, j He abused us and ridiculed us; he stormed at us and laughed at us; he , called us up-eared hounds, beer-kegs, and whiskey soaks. He plainly said that we were all hypocrites and liars, and he intimated most of us would steal. "Oh, we had a time of it. I assure you For six weeks, the farms and stores were neglected, and ? Jones, lones, Jones, was the whole thing. "And the "i>loasa'nresnteaTuire of the entire display of human nature was the marked manner in which the 'a:nen corner brethroV enjoyed his fla> ing of us sinners. "Well the meeting wound up. the | cummunit) settled back into its old ways?but it has never been the same <ommtinity since. Gambling disap. peared. loud profanity on the streets was heard no more, and barnxims were run out of the county." I I T. B. NOT CONTRACTED FROM USE OF BOOKS J It Is asked from time {.o time if it is safe to pass on books that havebeen road by tuberculosis patients to J I people living in other homes. In thei [June issue of the SoCaSan Piper there I was a story bv Dr. Arthur H Bryan' i i of Baltimore, who had made a series I of laboratory tests on books used by students. Doctor Bryan said. Few germs of 'any kind were found on the books; 'those present weit !iiosii\ of a iiann-J 'ess variety Communicable diseases! are passed on mainly by people and not by objects Books that have been . tecently handled b\ patients suffer| lug from smallpox, scarlet fever or j diptberia may transmit infection to [susceptible persons There is veryi j little (bailee for common colds, tuber-j ; ( ulosis or typhoid fever tu.be trans-i i milted by library books or magazines Anv viruses or bacteria present on l books soon die because of the absence i of moisture, heat and the food necessary to keep them living In most in-! ; stances disease-carrying germs soon ease to live outside the body.

It was with some fear a measure of I trembling that the committee appoint- i ed to plan the Christmas Seal Sale ' among the negroes decided to try . sending letters containing one hun- i dred seals to a selected group of ne- < gro citizens. The response has shown i that the elTort was more than worth- < while. Every letter heard from except six contained money and the average per letter has been seventy-six cents?a splendid per capita rate. Among the rural schools that have , made a report, the Liberty Hill school has made the largest return?$10.Oft. , Unless some other school does better ! than this, It will be the third year in succession that the Liberty Hill school has had the best sale of Chiistmas seals in the rural area. The schools In Camden are expected to make their report during this week. Tile goal setfor-th^-'Eliristmas Seal Sale anion'g the negro flflzpn* nf xha county Is two hundred dollars. With the good response that is. being made it is practically certain that the sum will be raised. Kershaw county negro citizens are to be congratulated on what they have accomplished under the direction ! of their chairman, Prof. P. H. Mdodana. WOOD-BURNING STOVES GOOD MARKET FOR WOOD;! Clemson.' Jan. 6.?An Important I timber outlet Is opening up for South; Carolina farmers through the thermo-j statically controlled wood-burning! heaters that have been introduced on i the market during the past few years, i according to M H Bruner, Clemson! extension forester j Because these new types of heaters have proved so successful numerous | sales have been made in the state to. farmers and also to persons living in! small town.; and cve;\ in i ltlc-?. " I he use of these wood-burning stoves is opening up an important market for wood." Bruner explains, i In some of the larger cities of the) state, such as Columbia, for example, I numerous tanners have found it pro-i .Citable to use their farm labor and 1 equipment for cutting, hauling, and) selling fuelwoed from their woodlands! tor i-e in these wood burning stoves ! "Since these stoves operate morel effiii-ntly when hardwoods such as, oak. mini, and hickory are used, some; farmers are improving their wood . lands by cutting the cull trees in a' thinning program In the past no! ; markets were available for these; j | trees, but now farmers have the op-. ( portunity to soil them. Selling the1 cull hardwoods from mixed pine-hardwood stands of timber is especially rle-irable since more growing space isa thereby given the pine which is usually more valuable for commercial purposes." The consumption of wood for heat-' ! Ing purposes through this new type of stove will continue to expand and thereby help to solve the problem of heating the home cheaply the forester believes. Experiments show that a cord of oak wood is about equal in fuel value to a ton of coal. In other words, at present prices, wood is generally 60 per cent cheaper than coal for fuel. CITY BOA8T8 NO AUTO FATALITY IN 31 MONTH8 Clarksburg, W. Va.,?This proud northern West Virginia city of 30,000 Inhabitants claims the distinction of being the nation's safest city of its ||ze for motorists and pedestrians. Factory whistles and sirens procalmed the passing at 31 months without a traffic fatality. Congratulatory messages came from National Safety Council leaders who are investigating Clarksburg's "safest city" claim.
