It will interest you. Perhaps Sniders school district is of the opinion that the Legislature will make a special appropriation to ' a pay off its back indebtedness. If the MEN of the town are going to fail on the school bond petition, we would suggest that they turn it over to the Civic League. We just bet it can secure the election as easy as it moved the feftce round the Godfrey lot, or whitewashed Bdward’s shop. BONN FM RWEKAGE SYfTEl Gaffbry, April 9—The board of public works has advertised for bide on $12SJXX> worth of boode for the system to he installed hi The propoeed issue will of bonds hearing interest at 41*2 and 5 per cent interest, the bonds to ran fatty years, with privi lege of retiring them within twenty years. Col A N Wood, a shrewd financier, is chairman of the board, and thinks the bonds will be sold without difficulty. / Now in all candor, it is s shame for the county to longer tolerate that old tumble-down fence round the court house square. The May • «. gj. festival will conclude its functions an this square, and it is a reflection on the county for the visitors to see this old ramshackled fence. Mr Supervisor, if you cannot rebuild it, you can do as the League did with the Godfrey lot fence—remove it. APPLY TO SCHOOL BONDS. Since the world began all great ideas, great movements and great institutions havt passed thru three igessf evolution: First ridicule, then discussion, and then adoption. So, when your work is laughed at, never mind; when it is discussed, do not listen; and at last when it is adopted, just smile and continue straight ahead. Those who laugh, do not kno*; those who ’discuss, are thinking; those who adopt, have learned. To hear the laughter and to listen to the discssion is to take from our mind the idea needing all our atten tion. They say—why, bless you. they’re always saying—so let them say.—Ex. 4-fEW Two Rock Hill A few Spring leaders in our Grocery Department are making folks sit up and take notice.

Sometimes we think the paternal attitude of the State is assuming dangerons proportions. It helps pay for school libraries, furnishes scholarships to this, that and the other school or college, gives aid to establish high schools, and now gives money to some short tefm schools. If it were not all being done in the interest of education we would be positive in our objection, because this kind of thiiur will have a ten dency to kill out individual effort, and cause communities to assume the mendicant attitude. Save us from the spirit of beggardom. Our legislators should think well of these things. For example: Look at our road working system. . BOYS. READ THIS. *- A Jeweler in a western town re cently found s precious treasure in a peculiar place. His home coffee-mill was broken: he took it apart to And what was the trouble. He discover ed that it had been wrecked by the action of a stone of some sort that hgd even cut its way into the grind ers. He took it to his jewelry store, and putting it under a microscope discovered that it was a large dia mond of the blue tint variety, and worth about $200. It is thought the diamond was mixed up with the coffee when the green was screened in South Africa, where the coffee was raised. The diamond was about the sixe of a coffee grain, and has the same color. A manufacturer in an eastern city found a valuable partner in a pecu liar place. His business not going satisfactorily, he walked through his factories and watched the men to find out what was the matter. He- found out they were more anxious to quit work than to begin. One young man, hovfever, seldom looked at the clock. The manufacturer placed this boy under the microscopic lenae of responsibility and discover ed him to be worth so much that he gave him an interest in the business he helped to make valuable. The boy got mixed up with a lot of ordi nary people, but, like the diamond, hit true worth could no tbe hid, and shone through the dull color of com mon labor. Diamonds prove their value no matter where placed. So do boys. Coffee beans and careless boys never shine, and you never need a microscope to determine their value. -Exchange. , THE CIVIC LEAGUE. Some months ago we twitted the ladies of the Civic League of this town on their apparent waste of energy in tbe work they attempted We did this, not because we were not in thorough accord with their, purpoeee, but because they did not seem to have a definite work before them. We knew that if we could get them “mad” they would do something. Ws got them “mad all right—AND THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING. > Wt dsrirs now totMte thfc mate the Indlas Buggies Free. One to Mr. P. M.
