Edmunds, of Sumter, the scholarship committee: The board made the following statement: "A number of appeals from the decision of the State Board of Charities and Corrections, denying free tuition to students at Clemson, Winthrop, and the University of South Carolina, were filed with the board.

In these vaocs in cnwiiwii mcaua mai mc parties named get the benefit of the free scholarships provided for." A Good Argument. As he dislikes motor-cars, a country squire always kept good horses. Recently he bought a handsome mare, and a few days later asked his groom what he thought of the new arrival. "She's a fine looking animal, sir," replied the man, "but I'm afraid she's a bit touchy." "Why do you think so?" questioned the squire. "She doesn't seem to take to no one, sir. She can't bear me to go into her box to groom her." "Oh, she'll settle down in a few days," the squire reassured him. "Everything's strange to her, you know. I don't think there's much wrong with her temper." "Nor didn't I at first, sir." replied the groom. "But, you see, she's kicked me out o' that there box twice already, and, when you come to think of it, that's very convincin."?Argonaut.

But It is Not Likely to Have 111 Effect. We are now told by a noted financier that the concentration of so much gold in this country is likely to bring us industrial and commercial trouble, for the ultimate result will be the raising of the cost of everything in the way of wages and material that ao into our foreign trade, that it will sadly weaken us in our competition for that trade. It may turn out so, but forecasts of financial distress based upon known conditions seldom materialize. It may be that so much gold may encourage the purchase of foreign fabrics, and that will excite the nation to making the duties higher to keep them out, and there you are in a political hubbub again, which leaves business quite at sea. The wise thing is to prevent the stock of gold, I which is quite equal to all Europe : possesses, from entering a period of speculation, which always ends in fi-! nancial distress. But then again the ! federal reserve system will steady i the currency stock, so as to keep usj out of trouble. So the gold need not scare us.?Ohio State Journal. Her Club. ,Mary is huge, husky, and exceedingly dusky. As a general rule, she is faithful to a fault. When, therefore, she failed to appear at the usual time one morning, her mistress was uneasy. Two hours passed be fore Mary limped painruiiy into tne house. "Lawse, Mis' Anna," she began apologetically, "Ah, sho' did hate to be late?but Ah had a turrible fall las' night down dem subway steps- Ah sho' was a-runnin'." "Running?" her mistress asked in astonishment. "Don't you know you are too fat to run, Mary?" "Yas'm_, Ah knows it," she replied humbly; "but Ah was late fo' my club!" "What club do you belong to, Mary?" she was asked. Mary drew herself up proudly. "Mali hnnip State club." she said: I "de Daughters ov Scuf C'liny!' "? New York Evening Post. Everyman's Success.
