The Spartanburg Journal says country newspaper editors should & > ~ take more interest in writing editorials and less in kicking a job press, j||; e which a boy at a $1.25 a week could I do as well. With an experience of about twenty years or more in the country newspaper business, we have never been able to get hold of one of . those $1.25 a week boys. If the Journal has any up its way, we would ] pfe be glad if they would send them 1$ down to us. Our contemporary talks .foolishness, for it ought to know that you can't hire a boy at any such 1 fc. price. A Darlington jury gave a verdict ; R? of $10,000 damages for the death of J 5 a young white man who was riding 1 en the top of a caboose of a freight I gf" train. He was a passenger on the j train, and should have been inside, fe - where he would not have been hurt , when the car was derailed. The ver- 1 6 diet was a most outrageous one, and ] ^ it is surprising that it was not set j E& aside by the presiding judge. We { believe the railroads should beheld to a strict accountability for their 1 E| acts, but they should be dealt justly j with, and it seems clear that in this j I; case the man's death was brought s about by his own act. 1 Samples of alcohol made from saw- } dust have been sent to the Depart* ment of Agriculture from one of the ] big sawmills where the work is be- ] v ing done on a commercial scale; that j pr*. is to say, a distilling plant has been I[ U15UU1CU niUUl XO VUXUllIg VUk> 0\~VV.X(U | fc : barrels of alcohol daily, though no figures are available as to the actual r*!/' cost of manufacture as compared with wood alcohol or that from grain. The interesting point about the sawH dust alcohol is that it is not a wood alcohol, having none of the properL: ties of that fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol that cannot be told from that sfe; made from grain. The difference is that the sawdust alcohol is made after the sawdust has been treated - with an acid, transforming it into dextrose, and is then distilled in the regular way. If the work can be ?V ' done at a profit, and the indications from the work of the company point to this being a fact, it will not only make a valuable by-product out of the sawdust that has heretofore been an intolerable nuisance to the sawmills but it will open up a way to r make alcohol profitably from straw, cane, corn stalks and almost any j - other vegetable refuse.

J The first morning the new teacher J was at the village school he taught a c lesson in mental arithmetic and gave the following example: j "If I had seven oranges and eleven 1 more are given me, then I give five r of them to a friend, how many or- e anges have I left?" The new teacher could not understand the puzzled expression of the t children's faces or why he received c no answer, but thinking they must t be rather dull, repeated the question. ?

' - < ON SPEEDINQ EXPRESS. Hother's Wish That Baby Be Native American Not Gratified. Detroit, April 4?While aMichigan Central immigrant train was speed| ing on its way to Windsor a baby boy was born to Mrs. Mary Rosenbloom, a Russian Jewish immigrant, on her way to the United States. The mother was anxious that the child be born in the United States, and the engineer put on full speed at her request, but the stork took matters in his own hands, and the youngest member of the Rosenbloom family will have to claim the Dominion of Canada as the land of his nativity, though he missed being born under the Stars and Stripes by only a few hours. The little mite of humanity came into existence near Tilbury, Canada. One of the Michigan Central surgeons had been notified in advance and remained with the mother and her child until the train arrived at Windsor. Members of the train crew contributed overcoats and other parts of the wardrobe to keep the newly arrived passenger warm. Thought It Was a Pig's Tail. A young married couple on Main street caused quite a commotion the other night and aroused the whole household. The young wife was awakened by her better half grabbing her hair and giving it a terrific pull which made it appear that he had either gone daft or had become a second Blue Beard. She set up a howl and called for help. Other members of the family rushed to her rescue, but before they could take steps to release the grip the sleeping spouse had on the good wife's hair he awoke. He explained that he had been chasing a pig; that the pig ran in a hole and he grabbed him by the tail and was pulling with all his 4-yv lr/\nrv Uio Illlglll/ IU I\ccp llio pjgoiliy XI U1U VAJVI*^ ing. It was a plausible explanation, but it is said the young wife is not so sure about it being a true one. She has been having visions of Blue Beard ever since the occurrence.?Reidsville Review. Where Man Would Be. A Detroit woman said of the late Gen. Russell A. Alger: "In company with a half dozen other women?a committee, in fact? I once waited on Gen. Alger and interest him in woman suffrage. ''He was interested. He admitted the truth of many of our arguments; but in the matter of supporting us he would not go as far as we wanted him to go. "One of the ladies got, I am afraid, a little over-excited. In her address to the general she imputed to woman ' more virtues than any merely human creature could possess. At the height of her eloquence Gen. Alger, :hluckling, interrupted her. "He said he had once attended a J voman suffrage meeting where the ( lady lecturer on the platform had hoasted about wojnan just as this 1 lady was doing. The lecturer, he , >aid, ended a striking climax with ; the question: " 'Where would man be if it had ! lot been for woman?' "She looked around the crowded J lall. The silence was intense. She raised her hand and cried again im- \ iressively: " T repeat, where would man be f it had not been for woman?' , "Then a coarse voice from the rear replied: " 'In Paradise, ma'am.'Washngton Star. ( Complimented. j A few weeks ago a Philadelphia ? nan was in a North Carolina town of rery few inhabitants. One day when le was on the point of making a purchase he discovered that he had ex- ' lausted his small change. The store- : ceeper could not "break" the $10 1 lill offered him, and the northern 1 nan went out in the main street to i >ee how he might solve the difficulty. 3e asked several persons, but no >ne had the requisite amount for the 1 nil. At last an old, white-haired, 1 jeedy negro came along. In sheer ( iesperation the Philadelphia man 1 said: "Uncle, can you change a $10 bill :or me?" 1 "Uncle" looked dazed for the mo- 1 nent. Then his shambling figure i straightened. With a doffing of the 1 lat and a bow worthy of Chesterfield, le replied with dignity: "No, marse, I can't change no $10 fill; but I done 'predates the complinent jes'the same, sah."

Union Meeting. The union meeting of the second division of the Barnwell Baptist Association met with Colston Branch church on Saturday befyre the 5th Sunday in March, 1907, and was opened with prayer by Bro. J. M. Zeigler. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. W. G. Britton, after which the union was called to order by the moderator, Bro. J. B. Hunter. The names of the churches were then called and the delegates enrolled. The union now being organized, it was unanimously agreed that Rev. W. G. Britton, the colporter of the association, be allowed to present the claims of his books, which he ably did in a short address.

After partaking of a regular picnic dinner, which was served by the Colston Branch sisters, we returned to the church, and after a song by the choir and prayer by Rev. W. G. Britton, the union was called to order by the moderator and the program of the union was taken up. The first topic, "The church in evangelism," was taken up and very ably discussed by Revs. H. J. Snider and W. G. Britton, Joe B. Gillam, J. C. McMillan, and W. H. Collins. It was unanimously agreed that we pass this topic over and take up the next on the program. Topic No. 2, "Our deficiencies in missions," was taken up and very intelligently discussed by Rev. W. G. Britton, J. B. All, Joe B. Gillam, and Rev. H. J. Snider.

Machinery produces the L. & M. paint at 50 times less cost for labor, than if made by band.
