EVERYBODY keep right quiet now and listen. at Booker of the Spartanburg Journal come down the street with his green necktie on Saturday morning. ANOTHER very pathetic little feature of the situation is the fellow who thinks he has to disagree with everybody in order to show that he "does his own thinking." DEARt BROTHIER GossiETT: man at Easley writes us that he is roing to name his cow South Carolina, because she is going dlry. What are you going to name yours? Fniom what we are able to gather by reading be'tween the lines of the es teemed Charleston News and Courier's interesting editorials, that paper is slightly peeved at the more or less lion. W. J. Stone. JAMES EDwIN Kr.att, in the Ajiken Journal and Review, says: "This war is simply awful, with butter selling at O0c the pound and silk dresses becoming higher and higher." Never you mind the silk dresses, Jim Ed; juzst keep both your eyes glued on the price of the butter. A MAc1ISTRATE up North has decided .hat a woman has a legal right to go -,bru the old man's pockets whenever the wvants sonme small change. But we dJo not see why it should take a judicial decision to determine that matter; for has it not always been an "unwritten law?" WVHAT is it about great minds? When ouf' Iesue came out last week it con tained the following paragraph. "The world may owe everybody a living, but it takes hard work to collect it." The same 'day the Charleston News and Courier said: "It may be true that tho world owes everybody a living, but sometimes it's mighty hard to collect." IF you haven't any Shamrocks, all those who love the Irish (and they are legion) should dig up those old green ~neckties and put them on next Saturday morning; for that is the day all good Irishmen and their friends celebrate the bfrth of Ireland's patron saint-Saint ratrick-who, Irish folklore tells us, 'drove all the snakes out of Ireland;" ~less his soul.

PATRICK'S DAY .Soturday, March 17, being the anni versary of the birth of St. Patrick, a few remarks and some facts anent this historical day will'not be out of place here The birthplabe of Ireland's patron saint is shrouded in doubt, but there is no question that it was to St. Patrick that Ireland owed her conversion to Christianity, and' there is furthermore no question that his memory is cherished and revered by every son of Erin and every descendant in whose veins flows a strain of Celtic blood. It appears to have been pretty well established historically that St. Patrick was of a patrician family, as his name implies; that he was carried off by pi rates when about sixteen years of age and sold into slavery, as was Joseph of old, being employed by his master as a swineherd in County Antrim. After escaping to the Continent he educated himself-for the priesthood and, with the authorityof the Pope, returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel to its then heathen inhabitants. Tradition credits him with having wrought mir acles, chiefest of which was the driving of venomous reptiles out of Ireland and with having rendered the soil of Ireland so obnoxious to snakes that they cannot live thereon. Tlradition says that when St. Patrick was preaching the docrine of the Trin ity to the pagan Irish he used a sham rock, bearing three leaves upon one stem, as a symbol, or illustration, of the great mystery, and upon every recurring anniversary of St. Patrick's birthday everywhere persons of Irish descent in all countries wear a semblace of a shamrock, if they have not the real plant from the "0uld Sod," as many of them in America always have. But it is not only persons of Irish extraction who are found "wearin' o' th' green" on St. Patrick's Day. In this country, where there is such large contingent of Irish citizenship, it has come to be the custom for almost everybody to wear the shamrock, or its equivaient on St. Patrick's Day, especially those who are of the same faith as the saint, without regard to their nationality, because it is so largely the custom and because of a certain feeling of sympathy of universal brotherhood and admiration for the good man whose life was spent in efforts for the uplift of his fellow men and for their everlasting welfare. So, if you have not a shamrock, dig up that old green necktie and (lust it off. "The wearin' o' th' green" won't hurt you, even if you are not Irish. CLERK'S SALE.
