THURSDAY, MARCH 21ST., 1918. A few days ago the writer was in Columbia and while walking down Main Street his attention was attract ed by a cry. A little boy was riding a wheel and in some way lost his bal ance, pitching headlong to the side walk A white man ran out into the street and. after assisting the little darky to his feet, carried the bicycle to the edge of the curb. A kind-faced eld lady saw the boy sitting on the curb crying She stopped to pat him en the head and ascertain if he was badly hurt. There were many of his ewa race on the street at the time bat set eae offered any assistance to the boy, they seeming to think the of mirth % as was by the wide grins ea their The Germans hare ry of bolitUtag America's bat the fact remains that last American soldiers a mile front It may be treason, bat we pity Huns when that bosky bunch f Camp Jackson biU the line -over there " A new automobile may be a thing of beauty, but unfortunately it ta not a joy forever. “Make Barnwell your home • •••••••• • •••••• Home Demonstration Work. • ••••••••• • • • • * The regular monthly meetings of the following Home Demonstration clubs will be held nt the places ami dates named below: San Hill—Tuesday, March 26.

Mr,' Simpkins gased at the portrait on the wall till hit eyee filled with tears. It was a portrait of his father, Colonel Simpkins, w.ho had four times been promoted for valor during the Civil W ar and had died bravely on the field of action. Mr. Simpkins' throat ached now for two reasons: First, he reverenced and adored the memory of his father; secondly, hi* age and hi* eye* tnd hi* game leg wouldn't let him go to wi.r himself. And a* he observed the martial hearing and uncompromis ing gate of Colonel Slmpkln* he saw, In Imagination, the khak! clad lads of the new generation marching forth and creasing three thousand mile* of sea to fight, maybe die, for liberty. Mr. Simpkins peered around to make sure that neither Bess nor John (who were at the teasing ages of sixteen and seventeen) were''where they could see him, then he straightened and threw his right arm up for a salute. But hla gouty shoulder twinged, and he groaned. He couldn't even salute. u Damnt" said , Mr. Simpkins, and with his other hand fiercely twirled his white mustschloa. He turned and limped Into the li brary and sat down ~reaklly before the mahogany desk on which were lying the blanks for hit Income tax state ment, blank*'which he had rather grumpily got from the Internal Reve nue officer only that day after lunch eon on hla way home from the Hob.

He thought next of Judge Wlllough- by. whose Income was about 93JI00. “He only pays 830." commented Mr. Simpkins, not quite so angrily this time: and then a thought struck him and he sat tip lirtdly In his chair. Judge Willoughby's son had been drowned on the Tuscan!* when It whs Kuhtiittrlned with the loss of two hun dred soldier* “Judge Willoughby gave his son to America,** muttered Mr. Simpkins. He Ruined forward suddenly and put his face In his hands. t , For a long time Mr Simpkins sat very still In that position. There was no sound In the library except the ticking of the tall clock and an occa sional trill of laughter from the chil dren skylarking upstairs. The square of light on the carpet gradually with drew Itself through the window, and first twilight and thHi darkness settled in about the quiet, white haired, some times Irascible old man. Mr. Simpkins was thinking things which he would never afterward speak of, he was thinking things that were too sacred ever to be put Into words. But some Inkling of his thoughts may he found in his rejoinder to Mrs. Simpkins 'when that placid lady lame In and turned on the lights, and asked him whether he was ready for dinner. "Judge Willoughby's only son was worth as much as fourteen hundred and thirty-four dollar*, wasn't he?" Mr. Simpkins demanded of her.
