The regular annual meeting was held in Columbia December 3 1, 1906, January 1, 1907. This meeting was well attended not only by teachers, but by prominent club women and other public-spirited people. At this meeting the name of the association was changed to the "School Improvement Association of South Carolina." The association was united with the State federation of woman's clubs, and will bo represented by two delegates at the annual meeting in Orangeburg in May. Speechless and Paralyzed. Summoned to the ofliee of Dr. John W. Ballard, of Logansport, Ind., supposedly for a friendly call, II. F. Stoughton, a farmer, found Ballard and others assembled as a lunacy board to inquire into his sanity. "My God, John, would you send me to the mad house?" ho screamed, then fell unconscious from his chair. When resuscitated, he was speechless and totally paralyzed. SOUNDS DEPTHS OF INFAMY. Negro Preacher Finds a Crime Which He Cannot Forgive. An old negro preacher of Southern Georgia had bceu given a lino, fat possum by some of his admirers and was keeping it in a barrel, feeding it henvih to increase its weight. IJ > bad decided to hu.e it killed the next day, when, to his rage, It was stolen In the night. Shortly afterward a revival meeting was being held and among those who went up to the mourner's bench was a certain very black Jim and his grief seemed inconsolable. "Dat's all right, uiah brudder!" the old man shouted. "Don" matter whut yo" done, de good Lawd gwine fergihe you!" "But All's been powerful mean," Jim declared, weeping. "Is yo' stole chickens?" the old man demanded. "Oh, wuss 'on dat!" "Good Lawd! He'p dls jio' nlggnh!" the old preacher entreated. "Is ye used a razor?" "Wuzx dan dat!" "Is yo'?yo' ain't done killed anybody?" "Wusn dan dat!" "Den hyah's whar we tanale!" tho old man shouted, throwing Aside his coat. "De good Lawd kin forglbe yo' ef he wants ter, but Ah's gwlne skin yo' alive! To's de varmint dat stole mah possum!"?New York Herald. Is Case of Fire. A Qermantown man was talking about the famous Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton. "When Van Dyke was a little chap," he said, "I went to school with him. "One day, before school closed for the Christmas holidays, we expected a visit from a director. This director always questioned tlie children about one thing namely, what they'd do in case of lire. So the teacher coached us all the morning before he came, preparing us finely on the course to be taken if fira should break out. "Well, sure enough, the director called, but when he got up to address us, he said: " 'It Is good to be here at thiR jolly Christmas among so many rosy, smiling young faces. You are a very bright looking lot of children, and I wonder what you would do now If I were to make you a little speech on the best way to celebrate Christmas.' Dyke piped out: " 'Form in single file and march out quickly.' " O Ye Tears! The president of one of the well known colleges tells this story of out of hlR professors of chemistry: It seems that the professor and his wife had not agreed upon some domestic question, the professor asserting that his means would not warrant the expense involved. Ills wife had used all her powers of persuasion without avail, and at last resortod to the final feminine expedient?a flood of tears. At this the professor picked up his hat, but paused to remark: "You might save yourself the trouble of that, my dear; your tears hive absolutely no effect upon me. Why should they, being nothing but common water with a very small percentage of phosphorus salts and a trace of chloride of sodium?" Matrimonial Conversation*. Husband?Another new dross! Where do you suppose I shall get the money from to pay for It? Wife?You must excuse me, I didn't marry you to give you financial advice.?Kikerikl. Julia Marlowe's Wit. A comedian was praising the art of Mi?s Julia Marlowe. "And she is as brilliant as she 1* artistic," ho said earnestly. "A wonderful young woman! "Do you remmeber her impersonation of Juliet? A doctor saw her as Juliet one night, in Pittsburg, and was tremendously impressed. Only, in tho powerful death Scene there was one technical error. " 'Miss Marlowe,' tho doctor said at a reception the next day. "I admired your Juliet profoundly. The Impersonation was a work of art. But?pardon me?don't you know that a corpse doesn't stiffen for at least six hours ater death?' Miss Marlowe answered, in that drawl she reserves for such speeches: " 'Now, doctor, do you think I'm going to keep my audience waiting six hours for me to stiffen?' " Poor Show for the Hat. First Diner (to his 'friend) ? What's the matter? You look worried. Second Diner?Well, that fat man at the next table has eat down on my hat and now both his fat boys are sitting on his knee.?Fliogendo Blatter. SUBSTITUTE FOR CHICKEN SOUP. Mineral Water From a Nevada 8ource Has Palatable Flavor. Chicken soup that Is innocent of chicken, and owes none of its savoriness to the dexterity of the cook, is an ! article to l>e found, perhaps, in only i one place in li.e w< rid. 'I. pjt .tu- ! lar favored spot is n.e State o( i\e a<la, and the soup is a natural pro* duction. It is, states a well known scientist, a spring of calcareous deposits, located near Elko, and yields at lirst hand from Mother Earth what the Inhabitants of the town regard as a better chicken soup than can be foumi in any of the hotels aloug the nelgubcring line of railway. This judgment may not he infallible, but there is no question that the tlavor of the water Justifies the name to the spring?the Soup Spring. The springs, of which the Soup Spring is one, have been known t? the people of that region for more tlian a hundred years. I?ng before white mon came to the country the Indians were in the habit of pitching their tents in the neighborhood, so that sick members of their tribe might drink and bathe in the waters. In the early days the Washoctt and Piutes had many a battle for the possession of the springs, until at last it dawned upon them that more men were killed In the battles than wore cured by the waters. Thereupon, says tradition, they held a council, and uumewnere not ween 1S8U and 1840 came to an agreement to share the benefits of the spring. The springs became known to the white men through the dlseo\ery of a prospector for gold, and soon forty acres of land around the coveted .spot were secured. The waters originally oozed out of the top of two rocky cones, but sines tunnels have been run into the side at a depth of about six feet the springs have yielded several thousand gallon! a day. The waters of tlie one known as th? Soup Spring contain Burpnur, magnesia, iron and soda, with some copper. As the water runs out it ia dipped tip by tourists, and a little pepper and salt added. The taste is then bo much like chicken broth that It would easily pass for it upon a hotel table. In fact, the experiment is said to have been tried, and no complaint was heard. Napoleon and His Barber. Constant, Napoleon's barber, tolls of the many difficulties be experienced in shaving the iOmperor. Nnpo.con would take his place in the chair, converging and gesticulating. Suddenly ho would call for a paper, or turn rapidly to look behind him. The utmost caution was necessary upon the part of his harbor to keep from cutting him; yet in spite ot all these restless movements not once while Constant was shaving the 10mperor did he do ho. Sometimes when in the chair lie would sit stiff and motionless as a stone, and Constant tells that lie could not get hini to move itis head either way in order to facilitate the operation of shaving. Napoleon had a singular whim of having only one side of his face lathered and shaved at a time. When i he shaved himself, which was seldom, he invariably cut himself badly. Thla was due to bis restless impatience, ! and though ho was scrupulously neat In his person, he would, after hewing a slice from his cheek, give up tha operation In disgust and go about with part of his face unshuved until he had 1 found Ms faithful barber. The Telegraph and Electric Road*. In this country telegraph engineers ' are in many places encountering serious difficulties in the operation of 1 their circuits by '* ^ encroachments of electric traction sterns. As the em- , ploynient of high potential alternating current for electric traction purposes expands, as it is doing very rapidly < throughout all parts of the United States, it is obvious that telegraph en- j ginoers will have to face numerous ( problems from harmful induction and i conduction effects from this cause. It < is, in fact, not easy to foretell w^at i the ultimate effect of these high po- 1 tential alternating current circuits 1 upuu tuo leiegrapn service will DC. i In the ovent of the general electritt- , oation of stenm railroads it is probable that it will in many cases become necessary to remove the telo- ^ graph poles from the vicinity of the ml way tracks and seek tights of way Indeed, this action has already been removed to a safe distance therefrom, taken by one of the telegraph companies between New York and New Haven.?Electrical Review. 1 Water from Pennsylvania Mines. Over 5,000,000 gallons of water are j pumped out of the anthracite coal i mines of Pennsylvania every day in < the year. The exact average for 1905 ( was 633,000,000 gallons a day. Nearly ( 1000 powerful engines, delivering from mine bottoms to surface 500,000 . gailpns of water a minute, are re- t quired. Mines may he shut down and coal production suspended, but the water flows on forever. According to The Iron Age., tho cost of removing , it is one of the important items of expense that make up the price of authracito. \ Among tho household of the Chi?- f ncso Emperor are 30 physicians, 75 ( astrologers, 76 cool; c I 60 priests. * Why They Leave. Earnest P. Bickell, head of the Chicane* bureau oi inaruica, belic\ es he has found the reason why mei leave home. He has been investiga ting the cause of wife-desertion for over a year. lie names th? chief cause as the lack of means t< kt ep a family in anvt.hing like com fort with the present cost of living*, which he says is a great deal mon than it was a few years ago. Bickell's report shows that then are 20,000 deserted wives in Chics go, most of whom have been left t< shift for themselves because theii husbands find that they cannot provide for them. This is true in i special manner when the husband h father of a growing family. In sucl ! a case he finds that while his moder ate earnings were sufficient to kee) him and his wife, they are not enoueh to support them and theii children. | Yet one hears the cry of prosperity on at sides. But when the mat ter is investigated it is found to b? a myth, and that there is really n< prosperity, except for a ft w. It i. said the farmers ought to be pros perous because cotton is worth twict as much as it was some years ago But it should be remembered that everything the farmer buys cost.1 about twice as much as it use to Consequently he cannot buy an> more with his ten cent cotton than He could with his five cent cotton This app''',f* to a'' ntHor callings. :..? ? IU K:\li I'AKKIKHS Are Allowed to ("arry I'arkaKON lTn dor Certain Conditions. On and after July 1 the pay o rural carriers on the routes in thi: county will be paid $900 per annum This should enable the carriers to b? fairly paid and to have the mean: 1 necessary to pay for the maintenanc* of their horses and vehicles. A carrier is entitled to carry an package in bulk larger than tha which the postofllco department wil take, but ho is not allowed to reoeb remuneration for his services from the person who sends the package. In nil cases he must collect for his services from the recipient of such packt'ige. If a currier was allowed to collect from a merchant who desired to ship goods to local patrons by means of the carrier it would influence the carrier to try to increase the business of the merchant having such facilities for delivering and at any rate would cause people to buy at the store of such merchant, because it would be convenient. This would necessarily work a hardship with the merchant who did not employ the carrier as a delivery agent, and for that reason it Is best that all packages carried by the carrier which do not conflict nor compete with his regular mail business be collected for at their destination. t 1 A t ? i I - * m i ihj great restorer. We tire our muscles by exercise and then rest to restore them; yet a great many of us do not stop to think, how little rest we give to our stomfichs. As a i usual thing no part of our bodies is j so generally overworked as our di- j gestive organs. A tired and over- i worked stomach will give signs of distress to which we pay no heed until at last dyspepsia takes hold. Indigestion is just a warning, and if we heed the warning we can easily avoid further consequences. Kodol Is a most through stohach relief. It digests what you eat and gives the stomach the needed rest and greatly assists in restoring it to its normal activity and usefullness. Kodol Is i sold on a guarantee relief plan. It is sold here by Conway Drug Co. HitYAN HKl'LIKS. Can't See His Way Clear to Nominate Roosevelt. In an interview at Norfolk on Fridavthe Hon. William Jennings Bryan was asked for an expression on the suggestion made by John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, at a banquet on Wednesday night at Chattanooga, that Bryan nominate ltoosevelt for President. Mr. Bryan said: "I said at the banquet in Chattan- I ooga all that at present I can say. I then said: 'As at present advised, I cannot see that it is my duty to nom- inate Mr. Roosevelt.' In both of my campaigns I stated that I would not be a candidate for a second term if Bieciea, ana as 1 nave enueavered to secure a constitutional amendment making a President ineligible for a second term I could not conscientiously urge the re nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for a secoi\d term even if there were no other rasons." PRAYER OF FAIT1I i Enabled a Poor Drunkard to Give Up Strong Drink. The Chester Lantern says "our old Priond Mr. R. M. Nunnery, of Fort 1 Lawn, was in town yesterday.
