In-j eluding those of Faraday fifty years j ago, to obtain mirrors coated with cop- 1 per instead of the materials commonly used for the films, no great success has been attained until recently. Now it is claim -1 that a process invented by F. D. Chattawuy successfully solves the problem of producing mirrors with a film of metallic copper which gives as brilliant reflection as that from a sliver mirror. The use of this process | for coating glass with thin layers of ; copper to be used for other purposes than those of mirrors is anticipated.— Youth’s Companion. A great many people Imagine they have heart troubles when the fact is that the whole trouble lies in the sto mach. The pains in the side around the region of the heart are not neces sarily heart trouble. We suggest that you start with the stomach and when ever you feel a depression after eat ing or whenever your food seems to nauseate take Kodol. It will not be very long until all these “heart pains” will disappear. Take Kodol now and until you know you are right again.

Jfa opiates THS CHILDREN LIKE ST KENNEDY’S LAXATIVE COUCH SYRUP Certain Contingencies Arose Which Made it Advisable to Change the Date Of Meeting. Newberry, May 18.—Col. E. H. Aull of the South Carolina Press associa tion has just returned from a meeting of the executive committee in Colum bia. President Aull called this meet ing for the purpose of considering the advisability of changing the date of the annual meeting. Certain con tingencies afbse which in his judg ment made it advisable to change the date and he did not feel inclined to assume the responsibility without asking a meeting of the committee. The committee discussed the situat ion thoroughly and came to the con clusion that it would be to the inter est of the association and the pleas ure of the members generally to post pone the meeting for two weeks. Unfortunately the programme and announcements had just been sent out. The meeting will be held June 29 to July 2, and the trip into west ern North Carolina will be made July 2d, leaving Gaffney at 8 o’clock and spending the night at Battery Park, Asheville, and taking dinner on July 4th at the Wheeler hotel at Hender sonville and spending Sunday at Lake Toxaway. In speaking of the change Presi dent Aull says: “The committee re grets very much to make any changes, but under the circumstances thinks it best to do so. When the first date was agreed upon an effort was made to avoid conflict with any other gath ering, but there are so many of these gatherings now that it is almost im possible not o conflict with some of them. The change which we have made puts us away from the com mencement season and will give the editors who desire to attend the na tional Democratic convention at Den ver an opportunity to attend the meet ing of the association and the Denver convention also. It will also be be fore the opening of the county cam paigns and those who are interested in this matter will have the oppor tunity to attend the press association and get home before the campaign starts in their counties. Mr. DeCamp and the people of Gaff ney were very clever about the mat ter and said they would be glad to have the association to come at any time it best suited to come and they proposed to make it the highwater mark in the gatherings of the press in this State. “The member who goes to this meeting and fails to enjoy it will have to find the cause within himself. “In regard to the proposed trip, I would repeat my former request that those who contemplate taking it would advise me as soon as possible so that ample accommodations may by made. It takes some time to ar range the details even for a short trip and I trust that the members who are going will appreciate this and advise at once. “The expenses will be as hereto fore announced and as to incidentals each may be at liberty to make that item just what he pleases and can in terpret it to mean just what he pleases, if he concludes there are no longer ‘incidentals’ in ibis section of North Carolina he may prepare to take them with him. “I am very anxious that every pub lisher in South Carolina who is not a member of the association may be come one and that he will do so and attend the approaching meeting at Gaffney and also take the trip which has been arranged. It. is said by those who have been over it to be one of the most delightful in this country and to be the most beautiful scenery to be found in America. “I hope that every publisher will make note of the change of the date of the meeting and arrange his af fairs so as to take this one week off and meet with the other publishers and become actively identified with the association.’’ The programme is as follows: Tuesday Morning, June 30.

It is earnestly requested by he citizens of Gaffney that all the mem bers with, their families will reach Gaffney during Monday and Monday evening. The officers of the associa tion also earnestly request that every publisher in South Carolina attend this meeting. The people of Gaffney are very much in earnest in their efforts to make this a most enjoyable meeting and when they undertake to do a thing they do it. In addition to the programme Editor Loyless, of the Augusta Chron icle and Editor Caldwell, of the Char lotte Observer, have accepted invita tions to meet with their South Caro lina brethren. The arrangements for the trip of the association into western North Carolina have been completed. The following itinerary will be approxi mately finally adopted. Some chang es may be necessary. ■The actual expenses will be as fol lows: Special train (each person) ..$5.45 Battery park hotel (one day) .. 2.00 Dinner (Wheeler hotel) 50 Lake Toxaway Inn 5.00 Total $12.95 This, of course, does not Include street cars and incidentals, but it does include necessary transportation and hotels up to the return to Spartan burg at 12 o’clock on Monday, June 22. In order to secure these rates there must be as many as 50 persons. The Southern railway will run a special train for the entire trip, stopping as desired. Mr. Hardwick writes that he has given the very lowest rates permissible under the interstate law. In order to be safe in ordering the train President Aull asks those who in\nd to tal:-e the trip to send $5.45, because if the train is ordered he will become responsible for it and the ar rangements will have to be made In advance of the meeting. He would like to know definitely by the first of June those who intend to go. Itinerary, Leave Gaffney 8 a. July 3. Arrive Blacksburg, July 3. Arrive Marion, 11:30 a. m., July 3.

I am endeavoring to acquire a practical education. I do not de sire to spend my time in acquiring impractical knowledge. A man said to me recently, “It’s a great pity that you never had the advantage of some college instruction.’’ And while this may be true; it is also true that the education which enables one to read and write with intelligence is much more useful in every day life than any other. This is not said in dis paragement of classical knowledge, either, but is stated as a fact. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, etc., are necessary parts of grammar, but they are not all of it. The easiset and quickest way to acquire a correct expression is to copy and commit to memory any and all quotations that may happen to please one's fancy. In this way I have managed to be come abl^ to express myself with some degree of intelligence. I read the newspapers and other publications carefully; that is, those that I see, but I do not see many. I have a scrap book in which I paste whatever newspaper clippings that please me. I find this to be an ex cellent way of keeping one’s memory refreshed. I have read the creeds and plat forms of the Republican. Democratic, Populist and Socialist parties, ami in view of existing conditions, l have become a sincere advocate of Popu lism. i am not and may never be a politician. Nevertheless, I know what I believe to be right. And if I know what I am talking about, Populism is my ideal of a political creed. I con cede to all others the same honesty of purpose that I claim for myself. I am not going to be angry with any one because he is not a Populist. In deed, why should not people of all parties be friendly with one another? There is no earthly use in all this party strife*: and bitterness, for it does nothing but hinder progress. I hope that I have the courage of conviction, for one’s belief isn’t worth much unless he is able to defend It. Now, i am hot trying to arouse a hewspaper controversy; I am doing only what others have done—express ing my opinion. I like to see a town grow, for a growing town makes a good market place for the country. Mr. Thomas Wlallace spent Wed nesday with us. Miss Sallie Whitesides is visiting at Hickory- Grove.

S.,” for the “bouquet” which you have thrown me and my Wilkinsville correspondent. Here is a quotation from a writer of ancient Greece, who was a heathen: “Truth is the beginning of every good thing.” Ah! . yes, even the heathen confess that truth is good, although many of them do not know what is the truth with reference to certain things. Once a fellow was caught in the act of mending shoes on Sunday. The person who caught him thus doing, said to him; "Why, man, what do you mean?.. Don't you know you will go to he had place for working on the Sabbath? Ypu must stop it this minute." The fellow replied, as he pounded away on his shoe; “Well, if I do go there, i don’t want to go barefooted.” I have hoard of one who labored ‘every day and Sunday too," but this unceasing activity on his part never made him rich.

We are glad to know that some body is always ready to say some thing in favor of making the parents send their children to school. None reject this, few do this. What Is the matter? It is a true paragraph that says. “The unhappiness of children is due to the misnianagemerrt, on the part of parents.” Parents may not aim to put their children in a state of ignorance, but do so through thei r own ignorance. We learn by steps. We forget by jumps. The ground is in the best condition now that it has be^n in since we be gan plowing.
