FOR CONGRESS I respectfully announce my candidacy for re-election to Congress from the Second Congressional District of South Carolina. In doing so I ask that my constituents examine into my record of only a few months as their Representative. I have been and am now embarrassed by reason of the contest for my seat which seriously affects my influence and my efforts in behalf of my people. With my experience, I am satisfied that I can and will represent you more advantageously in the future than I have done in tbepast. I make this announcement subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic primary, pledging myself to abide by the results, and to support the nominees thereof. J. 0. PATTERSON. Fellow citizensSince this is the year to elect a Congressman to represent the people, I hereby announce my candidacy for Congress from this the Second Congressional District of South Carolina; and most respectfullv urge the voters to examine mv reonro as a nnhlip. servant, for not only a few months, but for my entire service of six years as a member of the House of Representatives of South Carolina. Truly unfortunate that the Federal laws encourage contests in the South; that so many of our representatives are molested, certainly a provision for an allowance of about two thousand dollars to the contestant, and also to the one whose place is contested for, should be modified or repealed, and forever put an end to the practice. By reason of a laudable ambition?that of my promotion? coupled with a God given desire to serve the Second District as I have my home county (promising to contend as earnestly and as vigorously as in the past for such measures as would be conducive to the best interest of our great country), I seek the suffrage of my fellow-countrymen. I pledge myself to abide by the rules and regulations of the Democratic Party, and to obey the new election laws (see Acts of General Assembly 1905 on the subject) governing primary elections. G. L.

There is not a single desirable attribute which, lacking in a plant, may not be bred into it Choose what improvement you -wish in a flower, a fruit or a tree, and by crossing, selection, cultivation and persistence you can fix this desirable trait irrevocably. Pick out any trait you want In your child, granted that he is a normal child, be it honesty, fairness, purity, lovableness, industry, thrift what not By surrounding this child with sunshine from the sky and your own heart by giving the closest communion with nature, by feeding him well balanced, nutritious food, by giving him all that is Implied in neaiuirui environmental muueut-ea and by doing all in love you can thus cultivate in this child and fix there for all his life all of these traits?naturally not always to the full in all cases at the beginning of the work, for heredity will make itself felt first, and, as in the plant under improvement there will be certain strong tendencies to reversion to former ancestral traits, but in the main with the normal child you can give him all these traits by patiently, persistently guiding him in these early formative years. And, on the other side, give him foul air to breathe, keep him in a dusty factory or an unwholesome schoolroom or a. crowded tenement up under the hot roof; keep him away from the sunshine, take away from him music and laughter and happy faces, cram his little brains with so called knowledge, all the more deceptive ana dangerous because made so apparently adaptable to his young mind; let him have associates In his hours out of school, and at the age of ten you have fixed In him the opposite traits. He Is on his way to the gallows. You have perhaps seen a prairie fire sweep through the tall grass across a plain. Nothing can stand before It; It must burn itself out That Is what happens when you let the weeds grow up In a child's life and then set fire to them by wrong environment?Luther Burbank In Century. / THE GOLDFINCH. Chance* In Plumage That Are Pulling to the Ifovice. Most every one in America Is acquainted with the goldfinch, but many people know the bird by the name of lettuce bird cm account of its bright yellow color. Goldfinch Is a very appropriate name, as the bright yellow of the male when in breeding plumage is like burnished gold. The female goldfinch is more modestly dressed than her mate. The changes In plumage of the male are very Interesting and to the novice somewhat puzzling. Until the student Decomes acquainteu with the bird he may wonder why he sees no males during the winter. The truth is at this season the flocks of supposed female goldfinches are really of both sexes, the male bird having assumed In the previous fall, usually by the end of October, a plumage closely resembling that of the female and young bird of the year. The male retains this inconspicuous dress until late in February, when one can notice a gradual change taking place in some of the birds. This renewal of feathers is actively continued through March and April, and by the first of May our resplendent bird is with us again. The song period with the male goldfinch continues as long as be wears his gold and black livery, for it commences as early as the middle of March and ends late In August Goldfinches are very cleanly in their habits and bathe frequently. Their nests are exquisite pieces of bird architecture, the inside being lined with the softest plant down. The mother bird is the builder, her handsome consort during the nest building time devoting most of his efforts to singing to cheer his industrious mate.?Philadelphia Press. Gtufa Pv?nee of Mind. a? inafoTuvt (\t crreftt Dresence of mind was narrated by John Russell Young, says a writer In the Grand Magazine. Once during the civil war, when Grant wr.i In subordinate command, be was reconnolterlng alone near the enemy's lines. Suddenly he found himself confronted by one of the Confederates' pickets, who was for arresting him. "Shot Sbo!" said Grant, with the utmost coolness. "Can't you see I am reconnolterlng In the enemy's uniform? Dont make a noise. I shall be back directly,'* And he walked away quietly until out of the picket's sight, ' then ran as nimbly as he could. Daat In Os**a Em To "cast dust In one's eyes" perfect- i ty explains itself. It is, however, Interesting to know that Epaminondas at the battle of Tegea defeated the Spartans by masking his movements with a large body of cavalry.
