' I GREENBERRY RILEY.
BY W. D. S.
He married Susan Tierce, on the 3a
luda, near Ware Shoals. The first year
he farmed near us he was completely
cast down. After he had put in his
crop he came down to his neighbor and
reported that he was not able to make
the crop; wanted to sell his negro wo
man, pay up his debts and quit.
"Why, what is the matter Green?"
"My mare has a colt, my wife a baby,
my negro woman a baby, nobody to
cook and wash, nothing to work to the
plough and no one to wait on them.
Let me sell you the woman."
"No, I won't buy, but will loan you
a few hundred dollars to tide you over
the hard times. You keep the woman;
it is no telling bow much she will he
worth to you in later years." Which be
did and this woman brought him a half
^HMlo/.on as likely negro men as were in
Laurens County regular twelve hun
dred dollar, high stepping New Orleans
bucks. He was a member of Mt. Bethel
church and one of the noblest men that
ever walked ' he hills of Reedy River.
He raised the tunes at the church,
taught in the Sunday school and often
..pent half the Sabbath teaching the
children to spell and read. Ho had
three attractive daughters and you
know the young men would come where
such girls live. But Father Riley
valued his household. When bed time
came around all were called in.
"Let us have a word of prayer and
reLire for the night so we can rise early
in the morning refreshed and ready to
spend the Sabbath aright."
After breakfast the young men were
invited to go with them to preaching or
Sunday school. If they declined he in
formed them that his family were go
ing ami they would have to gj home as
it was against his rule for his daugh
ters to stay at home to entertain com
pany. Neither would he allow them to
ride over the country on Sunday with
the hoys. Mr. Riley was noted for his
industrious habits, easy and polite man
ners. His frugal habits soon brought
to him a competency, and he was satis
^ lied and contented in his home until his
surroundings becamo unpleasant and he
moved over in Abbeville county on the
Mulberry creek.
.Many happy days I spent with the
Riley girls and boys.
Seven Years ol Proof.
"1 have had seven years of proof
that Dr. King's New Discovery is the
lu st medicine to take for coughs and
colds and for every diseased condition
*? of throat, chest or lungs," says W. V.
Henry, of Panama, Mo. The world
has had thirty-eight years of proof
that Dr. King's New Discovery is the;
best remedy for coughs and colds, la
grippe, asthma, hay fever, bronchitis,
hemorrhage of the lungs and the early
stages of consumption, Its timely use
always prevents the development of
pneumonia. Sold under guarantee at

Rev. Henry Thomas Called to Greenville.
Washington, Doe.. ? It is under
stood that Rev. Henry B. Thomas, of
St. Nicholas and Ail ?' ngels church, of
this city, has received a call from
Greenville by the vestry of the Wash
ington Street church, but as yet it has
not been accepted. The vestry has re
fused to accept tho resignation of the
rector, and has urged him to reconsider
tho matter for a week or more before
announcing his decision.
A petition signed by every member oi
the church has been presented to Mr.
Thomas. Appreciation and thanks for
the good he has done the church and
c< ngrcgation is expressed in the peti
tion, which concluded with an urgent
appeal that he remain in Washington.
News and Courier, 27th.
Rev. Mr. Thomas was, in 1905, rec
tor of the Church of the Epiphany, in
this city.
The Pure Pood Law.
Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the con
sumer of the presence of certain harm
ful drugs in medicines." The law re
quires that the amount of chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form
in}-; drug;', be stated on the label of each I
bottle. The manufacturers of Cham-,
bcrhpn's Cough Remedy have always;
claimed that their remedy did not con-j
tain any of these drugs, and the truth!
of Lhls claim i; now fully proven, as no |
mention of them is marie on the label.
This renu-dy is not only one of tho
safest, but one of tho best in use for
v mghs and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general use.

THE ARCTIC REGION.
Where Smoko Rites From the' 8ea and
Tree* Burst From Cold.
Explorers who penetrate tho Arctic
and Antarctic sens have a chance to
observe one of the Btr?ngest pin.m
ena in nature, that of suidko rising
from the sea. Wherever the tempera
ture falls to 15 degrees below zero
clouds of steaming vapor ascond from
tho oeenu to he Immediately frozen
Into tiny particles Of lee and dropped
once more into the water.
The suuie thing takes place <>n land,
tho vapor rising from the snow and
even from the bodies of the explorers
themselves. In this ease, however the
lee particles fall on the ground aud
make a weird rustling, like the swish
Of a Silk dress.
At 40 degrees below zero (In; sap of
trees Is turned to Ico, and the trunks
burst asunder with a sharp report.
These mysterious sounds and sights
are a wo? Inspiring to all who do not
know their cause, and they may ac
count for some of the strange tales
that are told of the frozen north.
Natural light at sea Is a much more
common phenomenon. As tho screw of
a steamer churns tin? water under cer
tain Conditions you max- see tin' waves
glowing angrily where they have been
disturbed. This is called phosphores
cence, and scientists are not agreed as
to Its cause.
WHISTLER AND MONEY.
The Eccentric Artist's Utter Lack of .
Business Instinct.
The Dundee Advertiser tells a story1
Illustrating Whistler's forget fulness
and utter luck of business Instinct.
Being bard pressed for a flebl and hav
lug dually been Informed he would he
sued unless a check for the amount
was sent by return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one of his
frlentts who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had a lew pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re
quested his friend to stop at Hie bank
on the way to business to aseei'llllu
what was required to make his lie
count good for a check of slightly over
sun ami to deposit that amount for him
as a loan.
The friend was quite willing and in ,
due time stood a! the cashier's desk
of Whistler's bank asking the amount
of his bnlnnco and explaining the er
rand. The cashier was interested. lie
went to the big hook of bulail. turn
ed over a few pates, wrote dow n some
figures and in a moment placed them
before the astonished friend. Whis
tler's balance was more than $30,000.
The artist was delighted, but found it
dlhiCUlt to remember when he hail do
posited so much money or where he
had got it.
A Bcaconsfickl Story.
A lady who was his con. taut friend
and benefactor begged Lord Boacous
Held to read Mallock's Hrsi book ami
say something civil about it. The prime
minister replied, with a gronii: "Ask
me anything, dear lady, except this. 1
am an old man. Ho not make me read
your young friend's romances."
"Oh, but he would be a .meal acces
sion to the Tory party, and a civil
word from you would secure him for
ever."
"Oh, well, then, glvo me a pen and a
sheet of paper." And. sitting down in
tho lady's drawing room, he wrote:
"'Dear Mrs. -, I am sorry that I
cannot dim? with you, but 1 am going
down to Ilughendon for a week. Would
that my solitude could bo peopled by i
the bright creations of Mr, Mallock's
fancy.' Will that do for your young
friend?"
As an appreciation of n book which
one has not read this is perfect.

Animal History.
There are many point-; of likeness
between a world view of animal his
tory and of human history. During
the h>ng ages preceding our own the
continents for certain periods were like
vast Islands entirely isolated from
neighboring continents by tho seas.
This was the condition of Africa In the
period unearthed by recent oxplorn- :
tlons. These longer or shorter isola
Hons explain the marvelous diversity
of mammalian life, because each grant
land mass became a separate breeding
place under different conditions, and
whenever the land rose from the
sea long enough to form connecting
bridges, such as those ncross the Modi?
terranean or along the Arctic seas or j
ncross the Isthmus of Panama, the ani
mals gradually extended their ranges
from continent to continent exactly
niter the manner of the prehistoric and
historic races of men. Thus were Ini
tiated vast Interchanges, struggles and ?
compelitlons which have worked quite i
ns profound Influeuco upon the past
and present history of animal lifo as
the Interchanges of human races have |
worked upon the history of man.?
