A discussion of this subject and the enaction of a law in regard to it, will, of course, bring up its correlative?a compulsory education bill.

The ancients did not have lightning rods constructed ns ours arc, but they hnd lightning conductors, which shows that they knew how to protect them selves from the danger that lies in a thunderstorm. Even so long ago as the tenth century lightning was divert ed from fields by planting in them long sticks or poles, on top of which were lance heads. It Is said that the Celtic soldiers used to try to make themselves safe from the stroke dur ing a storm by lying on the ground with their naked swords planted point upward beside them. There was long ago on the shore of tho Adriatic sea a stronghold known as Dunlo castle, on the highest tower of which there was an Iron rod that was used ns a means of telling when a storm was approaching in summer. A soldier was always stationed near tho rod when the sea had a threatening look, and It was his duty to frequently put tho Iron point of his javelin closo to the rod, watching for the spark that would tell him It was time to warn the fishermen by ringing a big bell. Their Teeth Bctrnr Them. "There is only one feature of an ac tor which will 'give him away' when disguised in a perfect makeup," re marked a young actor, "and that fea ture Is tho teeth. Let a man do what ho will to his face, let him cover It with all kinds of paint, beard* whisk ers and what not, but the teeth will disclose his Indubitable Indentlty di rectly he opens his mouth to speak a lino or to emit a laugh. "I myself, when sitting In tho front of a houeo watching other people's per formances, have frequently been puz zling myself as to the Identity of a cleverly made up player, but no sooner has tho said player disclosed his 'Ivo ries' than I have at onco spotted him, provided, of course, ho has chanced to bo a man whose face I know moder ately well. Strangely enough, hardly any ono is aware of this curious truth, bat It remains an undeniable fact all ?tho same." Kalaln* the Wind. It seems Incredible, but Is nevertbe lees a fact, that as late as the year 1814 an old woman named Beede Mil lie of Pomona, in tho Orkney Islands, sold favorable winds to seamen at the email price of slxpenco a vessel. For many years witches were supposed to sell the wind. The Finlanders and Lap 'landers made quite n trade by selling Winds. The old woman, after being itvcll paid by the credulous sailors, need to knit three magical knots. The. buyer was told he would have a good fjale when he untied the first knot, the ftecond knot would bring r, strong foind and the third a severe tempest.?

In the last issue of the Abbeville l'ress and Banner, Editor Hugh Wilson writes the clever story printed below which will be of interest to those who remember the late distinguished Pres byterian Minister. Dr. McNeill Trrner and General Samuel McOowan. Row Dr. Turner was well known in Laurens, having preached here fre quently many years ago and in other parts of the county: Fume iine ago the President placed in the White House, as a work of art, a nude picture, and since then the W. C. T. U. have boon greatly exercised thereat, protesting against the reten tion of the painting on the wall of the oxecutivo mansion. Various of the great newspapers of tho country, including the News and Courier, have taken up the question, and, from different points of view, are discussing the propriety of the Presi dent's action. We have heard nothing from the White Houso as to the result of the W. C. T. U. resolutions and the newspaper comment. If our brethren will permit, we will relate a little incident, as it was told to us. concerning a picture which we presume, was clothed not entirely different from the represenation which is made of the picture that adorns tho walls of the President's studio or art gallery. When tho war broke out Gen. Mc GoWan was one of the first to take an active part. His house was vacated, and he left pictures and furniture in the building. In the course of time the Rev. I). McNeil Turner became, the temporary occupant in the' absence of tho owner. Tno furniture was all right, and'tho pious divine enjoyed the luxury of the best of furnishings. Only one thing lie did not like, and that was a nude picture which hung on one of the walls, it was a thing of beauty as It came from tho hands of one of the masters, and represented a handsome cost In money. But for reasons which havo not boon explained to us, Dr. Tur ner could neither look upon this pic ture nor contemplate its beauty with tho holy emot ions that should pervade the heart and mind of that pious preach er. Being an upright man, and, as far as wo know, pure in heart, he could not temporize or compromise his convic tions. Tho W. C. T. U. had not then como into existence, and tho matter was not referred to the newspapers at all. Dr. Turner needed no counsel. Iiis con victions were clear, and his duty was plain. There was no time for foolish ness. Tho moment for action had como. That picture was unhooked from tho wall. It was carried to the wood pile in the back yard, where tho Pious Doctor, like the Truthful George, used his hatchet on the picture until the most expert eye in such things could not have recognized in it a thing of beauty or a work of art. Until the close of the war, the Doc tor slept the sleep of the just with the conviction of a conscientious duty well performed. When General McGowan returned and learned the fate of his most costly picture, he thought the vulgar minded preacher might have turned the picture to tho wall. He made the above observation, however, after *ho hud relieved himself of a suita ble number of expletives.

A rolle of bygone days was ho, And his locks were while as the foamy sea; And these words came from Ids lips bo thin: "I gather them in: I gather them In. "I gather them in I for man and hoy, Year after year of grief and Joy, I've buildcd the houses that lie around, ? In every nook of this burial ground; Mother and daughter, father and son, Oome to my solitude, one by one: Hut come they strangers or oome they kin?? I gather them in, I gather them In. "Many are with me, but still I'm alone, I'm king of the dead?and 1 make my throne On a monument slab of marble cold: And my scepter of rule Is the spade I hold: Come they from cottage or come they from hall, Mankind are my subjects, all, all, all! Let them loiter in pleasure or tollfully spin? I gather them in, I gather them In. "I gather them In, and their flnol rest Is here, down here, In the earth's dark breast!" And the sexton ceased, for the funeral train Wound mutely o'er that solemn plain!

"People don't often insult you when they mean to be gracious," said an art ist the other day. "Insults are the cre ations of ill nature and not mere mat ters of words. But I had an experi ence that made me laugh and yet Irri tated me." "Somebody take one of your snow scenes for a spring landscape?" in quired an amiable friend. "No," replied the artist; "this was not a matter of professional pride.- A tradesman sent mo a bill In which lie nnintentinlly charged mo only about a third of what I owed him." "Thought he stood a better chance of getting It, I suppose," interrupted the facetious friend. "Now, hold on, Billy, and let mo tell the story. Well, that WAS the second time he had sent a bill for less than I owed, and I wrote him a note calling hi? attention to the error. This morn ing 1 got a letter from him in which he 'thanked mo for my honesty.' A man may thank you for your courtesy or for your kindness, hut when he thanks you for being honest It is an Insult. One might as well praise a man for not beating his wife." The Soil \\ mm Not CoiiKenlnl. It was Aunt Rebecca's first visit to her niece, a city girl who had married a few years before and begun house keeping in a pretty town In southern Michigan. "Myrtle," she said, looking out of tho kitchen window one morning, "you have a line patcli of ground hero ihnt seems to be going to waste. Why don't you plant peach trees? They gl, w beautifully in this climate." "No, aunty," replied the young wife; "the soil Is too poor. I have tried It. You remember those canned peaches you sent mo year before last? They were the finest I ever saw?Oner than any that grow here. Well, I saved tho stones, and, without saying anything to Robert about It, I planted them out there in tho yard, but not one of them ever came up -not a single one!"

Although ho was seriously reminded that of tho two exceptions to this rule, Richard II. and Henry VI., who wore white satin robes at their coronations, both had come to a violent end, one at Poutc* fract castlo nnd one in the Tower, Charles I. was resoluto In his decision, and, When, tweuty-threo years after ward, almost to a day, his body was conveyed to Its grave through a heavy snowstorm, tho superstitious could not help remarking that the third "whlto king" had suffered a violent death.?

Ho stated that lie had sent Tlllman no message, that no word was spoken before the shooting, that he had met Tillman face to face on the streets some days before and that he ex pected no trouble. He was not armed. Mr. Gonzales was later taken to the hospital and operated upon. The ball tore the intestines in [our places and penetrated the liver. Senator Georgo W. Brown, of Dar lington, who was walking on the Inside of the three, and nearest to Mr. Gon zales, said that strange as it may ap pear, ho did not see the shooting and knew but little. Just at the time, he had turned to one side to speak to a lady friend who was passing, and thon while turned ho heard the pistol fire. His friend ran and he tried to 6top and ? sslst her. lie heard no words, and went olT to calm his friend, who was much excited. He heard nothing pass botween tho two men, but did not see the a H air, aud, of course, Senator Brown is absolutely candid In his state ment. Senator Talbird who was one of tho party walking along, does not care to talk f<>r publication, and says he heard Mr. Tillman say, "I got jour message," and that he thinks tho shot was fired after hs used tho expression. Both Senator Brown and Senator Talbird said they weic so much surprised and amazed that they hardly realized what had happened, but there was no quar rel or fight. The presumable cause of tho shoot ing w??s the editorial attacks made by The Stato upon Mr. Tillman while he was a candidate for govornor last sum mer. In the campaign The State handled Tillman with gloves off, using strong language. It mido many spe cific charges, presenting evidence in detail as to some of them. Mr. Tillman denied the charges but can scarcely be said to have answered them spcc'.Hl cally with evidence to refute them. Many other newspapers d-mouncod Tlllman In terms not less severe than Tho Stato during the campaign but The State, having a general circula tion and bolng a dally paper, seems ohieily to have aroused Mr. Tlllman's resentment.
