The game rej suited in a victory for Elloree, the score being four to three, which sounds like a good game.

Mr. Editor?Please allow me space to suggest to the fiddlers of Bamberg county that we organize a ''Fiddler's Association," aud meet two or three times a year and have a merry time. They have such organizations in Georgia, and from newspaper accounts their meetings are very pleasant and the fiddlers draw crowds to hear them play. The North Georgia fiddlers were booked for the Macon fair last October aud the Macon paper said that all sorts of organizations had assembled at large fairs in the State, but none of them are of such original type as the "Fiddlers' Association." Speak out, fiddlers, and say if you favor organizing. Yours for a merry time, 0. D. Faust. Bamberg, S. C., May 10,1906. New Advertisements. G. W.

" Some Float on 3treami-Hnge Ones Make a River Lift Itself. The people of Syria and Tiflis make their streams do things that Americans do not seem to have learned the secret of persuading the water courses of this country to perform. At Tiflis the natives have learned how to utilize the power of the current of the river Kur without building dams. What they have accomplished possibly might be done by an American farmer living on the banks of a rapidly moving stream and desiring a small rhpan nnwpr. The Caucasians build floats on the surface of the river. Into them are set water wheels. The whole affair is fastened to the bank in such a way that it will rise and fall with any change in the level of the, surface of the river, so that the power is about constant all the time. In Hama, the ancient "entering in of Hamath," the Syrians have accomplished a feat that makes one think of lifting oneself over a fence by tugging at one's bootstraps. They have harnessed the historic Orontes, or Nahr el Asi, as the Syrians call it, into the work of lifting Itself many feet toward the zenith and trained it thus to water their fruitful gardens and orchards. As for size, the water wheels which do this work are as to other water wheels what Niagara is to other waterfalls. As one stands by one of these great wooden frames revolving upon its wooden axle and looks up at its perimeter forty feet above one thinks it lafge and is astonished when he turns his gaze up stream to see that relatively it is not a great wheel, for in the distance looms up one sixty feet in height. Even then he is not prepared for the spectacle of one ninety feet in diameter grunting around on its cumbrous axle just outside the town. Life in Hama for some people Is like the liking of others for olives, an acquired taste, because of these very water wheels. According as one feels about it, it is a musical city or one | filled with nerve racking groans. Day and night without ceasing these massive, slow revolving structures utter speech. For those who have acquired a taste for their companionship the never ceasing tones are soothing, resembling the ocean roar or a slow fugue played on some cyclopean organ. The diapason tones are deeper and louder than the deepest organ stop. Now they are in unison, now repeating the theme, one after another, now for a brief moment in a sublime harmony never to be forgotten, according to one traveler, then once more together In a tremendous chorus. The sounds are described as a slow movement up the scale, followed with a heavy drop to the keynote as: Do mi sol, do do do; do sol la, do do do. This unceasing Sisyphean music, it is said, has been going on for a century at least?New York Tribune. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. How hard a man falls after having been boosted too high! When a man gets the baby to sleep, how proud he is of himself! There is usually enough humiliation in all our lives to keep us modest It is not the stingy man who becomes a burden as age approaches; It is tne spenatnrui. A pathetic admission older people often make is, "The romance has all been knocked out of me." What has become of the old fashioned woman who called her friends "copycat" when they bought something like hers? When a man Is reasonably happy and content, it doesn't just happen. He is compelled to use common sense and work to an end.?Atchison Globe. Estimating a Horse's Height. The Arabs have two methods of estimating the height to which a colt will grow, the first being to stretch a cord from the nostril over the ear^ and down along the neck and compare this measurement with that from the withers to the feet, and the other method being to compare the distance between the knee and the withers with that from the knee to the coronet In the first method it is considered that a colt will grow as much taller as the first measurement exceeds that of the second, and in the second method, if the proportion is as two to one, the horse will grow no taller.
