Good Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.

This quaint old English play was written dining the reign of Edward IV 1451-1483. The name of the author is unknown, hut it is generally believed that he was a monk, who had had previous ex perience in writing morality or miracle plays. There can be no doubt that the story itself is based on a parable nar rated in the religious romance of Bar laam and Jehosaphat, which is now ascribed to John of Damascus, the younger, afterward Patriarch of An tioch, who died in 1000. The character of Everyman repre sents humanity in general. The story of tiie play is simple but strong. The Deity after telling bow the privileges He gave mankind have been abused, calls upon Death to summon Everyman to appear before his tribunal without delay, and to bring bis book of reckon ing. The full meaning of this unex pected command terrifies Everyman, and the knowledge that his book of reckoning is almost devoid of good deeds, adds to his terror. He begs of Death to grant him time, so that his book of reckoning may be made clear, but that iscurtly refused. He then of fers him gold if the matter be deferred for another day, and is again refused any respite. Convinced that he must obey the summons, yet dreading to make the fearsome journey alone, Everyman calls upon his relatives and friends to accompany him and help make his reckoning clear before God. He first summons Fellowship, then Kindred, Cousin, Goods and Riches, Five Wits, Strength, Beauty, etc. At first, they all readily promise their help and comfort and swear to stand by him in any distress; but on realizing what is expected of them, become greatly alarmed and all floe from him. Knowl edge comes to his aid and shows him how Good Deeds, who lies weak from neglect, may be restored and made able and ready to walk by his side. Everyman repents and confesses bis sins, and upon receiving the holy sacra ment and ointment. Good Deeds be comes strong and accompanies him on his long journey. The forceful and simple moral can readily be seen in the sad deatli of Everyman, forsaken by all his kith and kin; alone, except for his Good Deeds and an angel who await ; to carry his soul to Heaven. Everyman will be presented at the City Opera HoU30, Saturday night, March 18th, by Mr. Rudolph Magnus and an excellent company of fifteen people. Tickets on sale at Copeland's.

Kersbaw, Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy, to ask all veterans who desire the cross of honor to send in their applications at once These crosses will be conferred as usual on the 10th, of May. The chapter wishes to know at once in order that the crosses may be ordered. Another thing in which the ladies of the chapter are much interested is the preservation of as many records as possible about the soldiers of Laurens county. They are anxious for the veter ans tosend them sketches of their per sonal experiences in battle, which will be read from time to time at the chapter meetings and preserved among its papers it is probable too that some of these accounts will be published by the county papers. The ladies are in earnest about this and wish the veterans to send in the facts and not to be deterred by any idea that polished productions are ex pected. The ladies know that these old heroes of Laurens have interesting stories to tell which they want to preserve before it is loo late, and that most of them have been such hard fighters that they have'nt had time to be lit erary.

Columbia, March 10.?The schools of the State have to their credit $115,000, which will be distributed just as soon as the reports from the various county superintendents of schools can bo re ceived by the Comptroller General. AH of this money has been on hand since the first of the year with the exception of $15,000, which has recently been re ceived from the dispensary. Under the terms of the law the deficiency money has first to be made up; that is every school district has to receive $75.00 from all sources. After the deficiency money is paid the balance is to bo paid out upon the basis of bona lid'; enrollment. Comptroller General Jones cannot pay out any of this money until he re ceives the reports from each of the counties as to the amount claimed to make the deficiency and the actual en rollment. Just as soon as these returns are in his hands the money ought to be dis tributed as it is in bank to the credit of the school fund. A SAFE COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.
