This Greek died about 2,330 years ago, yet his history is much more fascinating than many dull and ponderous tomes penned by Innumerable, successors who have lived nearer the Modern age. Many writers who have seemed great In their own generation have become almost unreadable: Herodotu* began to write and to travel at an early age. These two Interests apparently ap pealed to him more than anything else In life and, fortunately, lie could grat ify them. He traveled through all the lands where Greek was spoken, In Europe, Asia Minor and the Islands of the Aegean. He traveled through Per sia, visiting lowlands and highlands. He saw Palestine, made a long vl>4t In Egypt, and In Europe struck far into the forest lands of the barbarians. He talked with all sorts or people, In spected the ruins of the fallen civiliza tions, noticed the differences between nations. He was the ideal traveler, quick to note the odd things that dis tinguished one people from another, but more Interested In the deeper and subtle differences that are less ap parent. However, he was a greater writer than historian. , Despite’ the solid merits of his history It lives be cause It Is so beautifully and so viv idly written.—Kansas City Times. Taking a Look About.

Religious Faith No , Secret in Jerusalem In Jerusalem, the lit^e city/of great things, religious ob-yrvitrrces play a part In dally life unknown In other capitals. Since R I* tRe center /of three great fuilhs and all Gfcir sub divisions, can it be wondered nt if each faith and branch thereof jealous ly guards rights and rites acquired throughout centuries,' often througn famine, selge and uutotii hardship? In a modern city, jne meets people daily for years without knowing their religious beliefs. This Is impossible In Jerusalem. Be he occidental or oriental, every man’s religion is known to all and also the fidelity with which he carries out the obligations Imposed by Ids faith. The religious festivals brlng^.tbelr own pageantry to the city. There are Moslems with their adherents from nprthern Africa, India, Afghanistan, Bokhara. Arabia, and the Sudan;- Christians of all denominations; Lat ins, including many of the religious or ders and the Uni ale churches which' acknowledge the supremacy of the pope; the eastern churches, which; comprise U^OrthmJpx, the Armenian, and Syriac, Copts, and Abissinians; the Anglican church; the- Jews, divid ed Into, Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Ka raites, / Yemenites, Georgians, and Bokharans. — National Geographic Magazine. v The Savannah-Edisto region in Carolina is looking about—over itself. It is taking stock. It is doing this in order to begin building Bigger and go ing forward better in the various lines of productive agriculture possi ble in that potential arta and es pecially to encourage more industries to locate in that territory, these in dustries being cannily observed, to stimulate still further and more per manently the big business of pio- duction. In a reef nt mdeting for the definite planning of going forward in development this year, one speaker at an Edisto-Savannah meeting the other day pointed out thesu prominent facts about several of the counties in the Savannah Zone of the Carolina belt: ^ Hampton and Bamberg Counties lead in the production of velvet behas —yet neither county has a commocial feed industry. Aiken County leads, in the produc tion of cb^v’ feed. / Beaufort County is first in acreage and production of Irish potatoes, let tuce and tomatoes, avtiraging $237.80 per acre^ while the average value of cotton in South Carolina is $20.80. Allendale surpasses every county in the yield of sweet potatoes, averaging $100 per acre. Bamb .rg and Barnwell rank sec ond in the acreage and production of peanuts. Beaufort comes-first in the produc tion of sugar cane syrup. . Barnw r ell comes first in the produc tion of asparagus, cucumbers and watermelons. A r Thus the st^ck taking is going oi\. It is found that on hand there is a climate and plenty Af rich soil to make almost any crop; there is trans portation by water, and abundant water-produced electric power in sight; there is cheap land and low living cost conditions. On this item ized list of advantages, with thu en couragement of the demonstrated pro les to DEATH AT WILLISTON OF W. W. ANDERSON \ Williston, Jan. 12.—Williston lost another of her oldest citiz</ns today, the second to, die this week, when William Warren Anderson, retired merchant, passed away at 1 p. m., af ter a long illness, the last month of which had been spent in bed.

One day he wSs standing on the shore of a lake Ing his flies without success along came a native with a good string of trout. After watching Jones’ vain efforts for a few minutes the new comer ventured: ^AVhy don’t you try worms?” ‘‘Worms!” said Jones disgustedly. ‘‘My good fellow, you and I don’t use the same language.” J * ‘‘Mebbe not, mister,’/ said the other quietly, as be held up his catch, ‘‘but I reckon the fish understand me bet ter when 1 drop ’em a line.”—Van couver Province. Prehisforic Medicine Tubes of ■soft soapstone used by a prehistoric Indian shaman, or medi cine man, to heal the sick have been unearthed near San Diego, Cullf., says Science.

Excusable Error The story described itsjieroine as a dumpling sort of woman. The teacher paused and asked for a. description of a wpman of that kind, “She would be rather tall and thin,” suggested a pupil. ‘‘No,” the teacher explained, “‘the lady would be short and plump—like a dumpling.” “Oh, yes,” said the youngster. “I was thinking of a noodle.”' /" We*re ^oets at Heart Though we may believe ourselves in tensely practical, we think in terms of poetry.
