It must be some superhuman being, full of sympathy and cheer. For the past twenty-four hours there has been a gradual, hut decided fall in the temperature, and this morning feels as if. it had suddenly been jerked into the middle of De cember. Do not know the cause of this barometric freak. \ Harvest days are almost ended, the day for returning thanks is rapidly approaching. Wonder if there are any so presumptuous as to repine at their lot? Some of us act as if a calendar year—365 days—were spelled “calender” and literally meant “strain ed through,” instead of being rejoic ed in and made helpful. The election passed off qui tly, things seemed to go on well, more interest, being made manifest than had been in the previous ones. Does three ‘times defeated mean that Hon. Wm. J. Bryan will step down and out forever, or will he, four years hence, wish to succeed Taft? As the “Bachelor of Buffalo" was wending his way to the box, to cast his vote, he dropped in to inquire af ter “Lucile Lee’s” physical welfare. In discussing the parties, the subject of “intemperance” came up. His theory about it is: “A man who yields to the temptation of strong drinks, has more stomach than brains.” On Monday, 9th inst., the school at Rock Springs opens, under manage ment of Miss Mayme DeVinney, of Belton. Mr. Wm. Wisher, a ray of sunshine and happiness from Kings Creek, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Wisher is one of God’s noblemen, a farmer who lives at home and boards at the same place.

The land continues too wet to sow small grain. A few days of dry weather and a lot of wheat, will be sown. Mr. J. N. Strain went to Gaffney yesterday with cotton. Miss Bonnie McCluney began her school last Monday—2nd inst. Miss Myrtle Poston is teaching the Wilkinsville school and Rev. T. F. Boozer is teaching at Sunnyside school house. From some cause our white schools are not patronized as we think they should be, and the result is that ignor ance is on the increEise. The colored people are far ahead of the whites (as a general rule) in desiring the education of their children. This is the state of affairs. We need a compulsory law and If one is not made and enforced it will be a great misfortune to this country. Mr. Otts made the sensible remark last spring that the parent who wouldn’t send his children to school was a criminal and ought to be dealt with. That is the truth if ever we told It. Those people who won’t send their children to school, seldom, if ever, teach them anything at home— not even good manners. They know or care nothing about the Fifth Com mandment, and the blessings its observance brings to their children as well as themselves. Shame, O shame on such a state of affairs . Yet some of these same peo ple think they ought to be recognized as being among the best people In the land. In many of these homes the Bible is never opened much less read. Such training is the plant bed of lawlessness and moral degeneracy in humanity, or for a moment think of renouncing my ideals, and ceasing to strive for better things. We must live and learn. During the short time that has pass ed since I became a newspaper writer. I have earnestly endeavored to write the truth. I know that I put much of self in my writings: but I have been compelled to do this, in order to write anything at all. some other time I shall continue my talk along this line. I am now pre pared to do better work than I have ever done before; and in the future it is my purpose to do my level best at all times. Miss Melinda Smith, who had been sick for some time, died on last Sat urday night. She was burled in Beersheba cemetery on the following (Sunday) afternoon. The Rev. Mr. Gillespie, of Yorkville, conducted the funeral services. Mr. Jesse N. Hogue is doing some building for Mr. Lester Whitesides, at Smyrna. The election is over, Bryan is de- defeated, and Taft is president of the United States. Poor, defeated Mr. Bryan! I am truly sorry for him.

I have searched for the truth, and I believe that I have found it. I have read some very severe denun ciations of Mr, Bryan, but it did not impair my respect for him in the least.
