Quarantine 'Em. A number of towns in North Caro lina -have just been afflicted with the so-called street carnivals. In most cases these affairs have been voted a public .nuisance of the first order. They are unsanitary invasions from both the physical and the moral standpoints They leave no end of trash and lit ter to be cleaned up behind them. The values offered for the money received are scarcely values at all, but mostly false pretence. The public taste is be ing lifted above them, according to re ports from the country at large, by the rapidly developing and improving "movio" entertainment. Seeing that this latter form of cheap entertain ment is now available, it appears that the wisest thing for our public authori ties hereafter to (o would be to shut off Farnival altogether.-Spartanburg Journal. How Shaving Originated. Thle comparative advantages and propriety of shaving the face and of permitting the beard to grow are not easy to determine. On the side of non-shlaving it has been argued that nattire must have bestowed beards on men for the purpose of being worn, and that, as Tertullian affirmed, it wag "blasphemy against the face to reject it altogether." Demands. Knicker-"What is the matter with Smith?" Bocker-"IIis baby wants the ;nloon and Is wife wants the earth." Wisdom of Silence. "No one can know wyhat's in you if you don't talk. It's a great deal easier 'ro look wise than to talk wisely. When you have plenty to speak for you, why talk?"--"Unpath'd Waters," by Frank Harris.
