However, the president 1 has shown himself peculiarly adapt- * ed to doing the wrong thing. P Oi course Batesburg is going to * have a new school building. Let no c one say "nay" to this. The citizens j of Batesburg have too much interest ? in their town to neglect that which C will do the town the most good, and ( which, at the same time, will bring J large returns for the money invested. r Halley's comet is dividing inter- c ? tui upv,arv1 i v^aiiiAVju ciiiva v^ui. | Roosevelt, with odds in favor of r the comet.

Columbia has just given * inew a demonstration of the prop ' Dsition, and Columbia is a better * town than she was one week ago. When her business men determined * to raise $85,000 for the purpose o! s erecting a Y. M. C. A. building, they piesentccl a solid trout and, sweeping aside all obstacles, they . marched straight across the goal line. There is no telling what people can do when they forget all < personal differences and set about doing it. What has happened ii. Columbia simply goes to show that, when the citizens of any town unitedly determine upon anything', its accomplishment is assured. "Never cross the bridge 'til you get to it," is an old saying, but it alwa>s has fresh application. Toe many of us are not philosog>hcrs. ,., ., . . t we are constantly worrying about things that never happen. We sie c stone walls a long way ahead of us, ' and then find that they varnish as \ .ve approach. What is the trouble? J Is it really because we are not phi!- ^ osophers, or is it because we have not faith in divine power? Think of ( the times in your life when all youi r dark forebodings amounted to t nothing, when what you feared s would happen did not happen, when the moments you dreaded ' s ipped into the j as' and left yet; smiling and buoyant and free c. burden. Who brought the light'. Who helped you? W'ho eased th< t burden? Hove you thought of this 1 There is food for thou :ht in it. ' Spark Plugs Mr. C. L.
