EDUCATIONAL MEET WAS FINE SUCCESS. fContinued from page one.) ity of the White man, and taut this couid never be even approached by the negro. "Cut," said hOi "some of you may say that compulsory education will give the ballot to tee negro. To this I say that the negro is already In school, and It behooves Ihe white peo ple to educate her citizens for the crl sfs if quo is to come; and it will tome whether or not wo have compulsory education." Mr. Parker spoko very forcefully cn the need of getting the children Into school, showing the folly of spending money on our schools If all the children did not take advan tage of them, ills address was loud ly applauded. .Messrs. Cooper and WhartOU of Laurens and Waterloo, respectively, made strong appeals to t!.e people to exercise themselves on this great and important subject of education. They discussed the needs of better schools for which the people must bring them selves to pay and to pay without grudge, declaring it the best Invest ment that could he made. Mr. Whar ton dealt more particularly with the rural schools from the Standpoint cf a trustee. He declared himself in favor of the adaption of a compulsory school at tendance law, Baying that he had In tended to devote most of Ids remarks to a discussion of this subject, hut as Mr. Parker had so admirably covered this phase of a very vital question he would content himself by giving en dorsement to what had been said.

It Is strange bow many golfers tberc are who fall to appreciate the great effect the density of atmosphere has on tbe flight of a golf hall. On a still, misty tiny the hall tiles about five yards to ten yards less than it dees on a frosty day. when the vir Is keener nnd more rarefied, and it is always stated whether truly <r not is un known?that in an east wind the ball flies farther than It dees when the wind Mows from the opposite and niore acceptable quarter. The writer was fortunate, < r unfortunate, enough to play many rounds 0 few years ogo <n the Johannesburg links hi South Africa, These :i:.ks are situated some O.fM'O feet nb< ve sea level, and the nir is wonderfully rarefied. The hail con sequently Hew the most sm-j.rising dis tance. As nnrt f f this the winner of a driving competition sent a hail a carry of 228 yards, the second player returning the modest distance of 223 yards. Yet neither of these two play ers could approach the driving capa bilities of good amateur golfers.? Country Life. The Yorkshireman. There is a characteristic glimpse of Yorkshire "downright ness" in the pub lished reminiscences of an English clergyman: At my Institution to Cpbnm n re tired colonial bishop, nlxnit to take an English benefice, said: ?'Well, you nnd I have worked I oth in north and south. In what points do you consider that they differ';" "Oh, my lord." I answered. "1 can soon tell you that. If a Yorkshireman thinks you a fool lie comes nnd tells you so to your face. Down here they go and tell somebody else." "You have exactly hit It.*' said the bishop. "The difference could not he better described." Yorkshire regard for the pocket the aforesaid clergyman illustrates In this anecdote: A groom being asked how lout- he lived in the south replied, "Twenty years." "What! Have you. a York shireman. lived twenty years down here and not made your fortune?" "Eh," answered the man, "but mcas ther were Yurksblre too." (Vetoing Funny Abcut It. Scene?A druggist's shop In a small Scotch village, which, as usual with druggists' shops similarly situated, is the general emporium for ah sorts of merchandise. Cycling tourist enters and purchases a cigar, after lighting which he attempts to draw the pro prietor Int? conversation, hut the lat ter seems reticent. The tourist, nfter passing some re- i marks on the weather, asked, "Don't you feel trade dull at times In this lit tle Tillage, chemistV" "Oh, well." replied the druggist, "I ' ennna complain. But, excuse me, mais tcr. I diuua l'.Ioo smokin' iu my shop." "Indeed!" said the tourist. "That Is strange. You sell tobacco and (ignrs nnd still don't permit smoking In your shop, it is really rather funny." "tin. man," was the reply, "there's naething funny a boot it. I sell arsen Ic, but I dinna nlloo ye to commit Bui cide in my shop!" Darberc and Surgeons. John Le P.arl.our was tbe first mas ter of the Honorable Company of Bar bers six centuries ago. At or" time the barbers nnd the surgeons preyed up< n the public In loving brotherhood and settled their family cjuarrels un der the roof of one hall. By an agree able arrangement tbe community was to be "bled" on a system which for bade the surgeon to cut hair, shampoo < r sl ave and required the barber to proceed no further In the art of heal ing than the extraction of teeth and "cupping." But as the surgeons grew in the social scale they Sighed for re lief from their lowlier brethren and built a ball and formed a guild of their own, magnanimously handing over the Jt Int home In Mcnkwell street to the I arbors.? London Standard. Shakespeare and the Actors. Why do we call Carrb k a grent ac tor? Bemuse the box office of bis time acclaimed him < no.

A im dorn purist would have Walked out of the playhouse when bis or was insulted by fibber's tag, but from a theater point of view it is a good tag. and I have always thought it a pity that Shakespeare forgot to set it down himself and left to Clbbor the burden of finishing the line.?Judge i any in Cornhill Magazine. Why the Earth Cannct Explode. Tbe theory Is frequently advanced that planets and even suns sometimes explode and that tbe earth may some day blow up like a bombshell, N< celestial body the size of tbe earth could pOSSlbly explode. If the entire molten Interior of our globe could be replaced with nltroglycerln and deto nated the explosion would riot lift the earth's crust. In other words, if we nssume that the crust of the earth Is from fifty to n hundred miles In thick ness It would re-pilre something much more powerful than even nltroglycerln to burst the shell. It Is necessary only to do n little figuring to see that the pressure Of flic earth's crust nt <!( nth of from fifty to n hundred mile. 1 far exceeds the pressure exerted by tbe most powerful high explosive.?
