The Charleston people gave Senator Tillman two dinners this week-Wednesday and Friday. Tho Pee Dee Medical Associa tion meets in Darlington next Monday-a rather bad day for a full meeting. Forty thousand birds, mostly sandpipers, aro reported to have been killed recently on the North Carolina coast for millinery. The Egyptian government has written to the United States de partment of Agriculture to secure the services of a cotton expert and chemist. Senator Pritchard of N. C., has been made a member of the su preme court ot the District of Col umbia-which pays a salary of $6,000. The New York and New Orleans Cotton Exchange will make an effort to cloBe up the town ex change. This is a merger of specu lation. Thc breaks on the levees on the Mississippi have resulted in great loss of life and property and thous ands ot-acres of the richest cotton lauds are under water. Thc South Carolina College has issued an attractive circular, an nouncing a spring term for teach ers, of six weeks, from April 13 to May 22, designed for teachers whose school terms may admit of attendance.

The Baptists of North Carolina have arranged to hold a great mid summer meeting at Jackson Springs beginning June 21st, and continuing 10 days. Editor Bai ley of tho Biblical Recorder says there will bc fully 50 speakers, among these Kev. lt. T. Bryan, now on his way home from China, and Kev. Dr. A. T.

A large building build of red brick and modeled in a most up-to-date manner is devoted delusively lo thc education of, and im proving intelligently tho vast number of animals u?cd in tlie performances of their famous shows. A systematic course of tuition is given each scholar and wheo their education bas been completed, en* titling thom lo perform-some act thoy are immediately given a place in the pro Kraunac of the show. Thia institution is maintained at no little expense, and thc animals which are seen in the perform ances given in the (.?entry Bros. United Shows may bc easily termed "College Bred Animals." A long list of new as pirants for fame in thc orena have been ?Med (bis season, and Gentry Bros , f'ttnous Shows arc said to bo exactly twice their former size; Tho exhibition day for Bcnncttsvillc is Friday April 10. From High Hill. News is pretty scarce with us now. We are hazing of rain. Some of our farmers h vc planted corn while others are hustling with their work. * We ara glad to know that those who havo been suffering with lagrippe aro improving. Mr. E. M. Hare is the owner of a fino young colt. He ia a good farmer. Messrs 1*. L. La ugly, E. M. and G. H. Hatcher arc all building new dwellings. It is like the old saying, ?'pull down tho old and build greater ones." Wc have sonic pretty girls up here and a lot of ugly boys. There is ono more covey of hirds in this section. I flushed them the other day as I was walking along with a hoe on my shoulder. I reckon they thought I was Mr. Hatcher, hut they were mistaken, 1 waa out bunting worms to bait sonic hooks. Wishing thc dear old Democrat much success. Yours, Mch 25, 1903. J. G. K. County I Joan I of Education The state Superintendent of Edu cation bas reappointed Rev. E. Ps I'Jnstcrling and Hon. H.H.

The trustees and patrons of Ked Bluff Academy were invited by the griuoipal of said school, Misa Bia ocho tackhouso, to be present on the after noon of Friday 27th of March to hear the declamation and recitations of the pupils. The visitors were not many m number but those who were present were well repaid forgoing. We noted especially in the larger boys, im provement since we . were present something like two months ago. j It would be helpful to the entire I echool, teachers and scholars alike, if I the'patrons generally would come out on such occasions. The parents would enjoy the hour nod profit as well. I therefore urge them to attend when, ever they have the opportunity. At the conclusion we were treated to a pleasant surprise in the form of a mock trial of a "chinaman" for eome alleged ofience. , Percy Stanton waB Judge, Charlton McLaurin prosecuting attorney, Har ria Parker attorney for the prisoner, a number of little bovs the jury. Boyd Willis, Joe McDonald aod Miss Lulu Jen igan witnesses. - The "Chinaman'' or prisoner was Willie Jernigan. The piece was hum? erous, the parts were nell carried out and thoroughly enjoyed. I think it would be well for the other schools of the county to copy Miss S tackhouso in this departure of hers, frequent entertainments on Friday afternoons for parents. The people would feel a deeper interest iu the schools and would be brought into touch and sym pathy with the teachers which would be mutually beneficial. The picnic season is close at hand and we invite them all to come lo Red Bluff. We can offer inducements such as good water, fibbing, boating, shade, a place to rest, a warm welcome and a nigh and dry spot of woods in which to roam. Let us know in time and we believe Messrs E. D. Frasier , and C. M. Eason can supply you with fi8h. April 1, 1903. U. No. Hu A Childs Iden. The interest that the little folks take in the annual visit to this city of Gentry Bros. famous ?hows can be thoroughly appreciated in the relating of aa incident that happened at a class in school in a small town ia tho West. At thc cad of a moraine discourse oo topics nf the day, the teacher informed tho 80*11018? that they could ask any question they wanted to, concerning any important publie event and she would answer it to tho best of her knowledge. After sovcral had in quired the cost of Brooklyn Bridge, and the details of tho Seven Wonders of tho World, one little hand went up in the air lo attract the teacher's attention, and when it came ber time, she said. ''Please Mama, if you know everything caa you tell us whoa the Dog Show is coming?" This lorm of inquiry will be unnecessary in this city as Gentry Bros. dato has defi nitely been fixed for Friday April 10. Safe Blowers nt Work.

There seems to bo a great deal of dis satisfaction among the holders of Rural Telephones concerning servica and rates. Several have spoken to mc relativo to or ganizing a Mutual Corporation Farmers Exchange. Now. if enough such subscri hors to warrant mo in such action will drop me a card I will call a meeting and proceed at once to organize. April ii 1903. II. K. Covington.

Everett, J. Ai Woodley, J. V. Curreyj An Irish farmer went into an iron monger's shop to buy a scythe. After serving him, the shopman asked him if he would buy a bicycle. "What is that?" quiered the Irishman. '.It's a machine to ride about the tosvn on." , "And, sure, what might the price of it be?" "Fifteen pounds." "I'd rather see iiftoen iiounds iu a cow." "But what a fool you would look riding around the town on the back ol'a cow!" "Share, now," replied the Irishman, "not half such a fool as I'd look trying to milk a bi cycle!"-Tit Bits. PLAY FLINCH!
