ELEAZER There where we reached the creek in that forbidden pasture, the banks were high, and we threw rocks in the silent water be low to see how deep it was. We judged from the sound. That was new for us. Further up, where that creek was ours, it rippled through its rocky channel, and there was just an occasional pool. We speculated about great fish in there, and vowed to return and try them out. We were in a new world down there, and imagi nation was rampant. We could envisage all sorts of things, and perchance a stray Indian in the dense jungle on the other side. Our dreaming was interrupted ere long. What was that distant rumble? Was it a summer cloud in the making, or could it be that bull bellowing! One of the larger boys ventured back out into the opening. He re turned with bad tidings. The cat tle, including that bull, had come from their rest and Were feeding out across the opening that we had to cross on our way back. And they were slowly coming our way, silently, but for an occasional bellow from the bull that rever berated through the lowlands. That scared us powerfully, and we went up some easy climbing trees there on the creekbank. There we were safe, and could watch the movement of the cat tle, specially the bull. Feeding slowly along, they came much closer, and our treetops looked like a refuge for sure. The older boys noticed the tall 3i In h it Over! YOUR STATE AND MINE T HE FIRST Fire Insurance Company in America was organized in 1735 at Charles ton, South Carolina, as “The Friendly Society for the Mutual Insurance of Houses Against Fire,” and received subscrip tions beginning January 1, 1735. This company issued policies and conducted business over a period of about six years, as evidenced by advertisements and notices in the South Carolina Gazette from November 14,‘ 1735, to February 19, 1741. On November 18, 1740, there was a conflagration which con sumed half the town. The fire broke out about 2:00 P.M. and, fanned by fierce winds, in less than four: hours, laid in ashes the most valuable parts of Charleston. The loss of 16,400 English pounds sterling falling on 171 persons came as a ter rible blow to the community. This ruined the society, as the last advertisement, which ap peared on February 19, 1741, stated that “the bonds given by the members will be put in suit unless paid.” PRESIDE!

Beacuse they go to school. So says Earle V. Ehrhart in an article in Sports Afield magazine. He writes that this schooling was an annual affair on grouse sanctuaries on his farm. For a long time he thought they were merely putting on a show; then he realized it was more than that. In the fall the older males of each little grouse community gatherered in the same spots each year. The younger male grouse al so, came, timidly. While »they watched, the elders began showing the “tools” used by grouse in self- preservation. The demonstrators gave silent exhibitions of love-making, the mating dance, attack, defense and threatening and evasive actions of many kinds. Soon the younger birds began to participate and tops of some strange foliage across the creek. It looked like the tops of canes. But we had never seen any so tall. And that called for more figuring, for canes, large canes, are just to a boy’s liking. We never had any much larger than pipe stems before. And if those were really giant canes, that would be a find of the first order. A low-descending sun was set ting. We didn’t have time to locate a crossing and explore the other side. Our worry then was just how to get back by those cattle to the fence and on home. know your State ^ ■ ) The equestrian statue of General Wade Hampton is a favorite at traction of visitors to the State House grounds In Columbia.

As in other states, the program calls for close cooperation between law-en forcement officers and beer licen sees throughout South Carolina. Beer belongs . . . enjoy it. United States Brewers Foundation South Carolina Dtv., Columbia, S.C of moderation their lack of skill was quite ob vious. The “teachers” often re sorted to bodily punishment. This routine continued for a day or two several hours at a stretch. Next came the exhibition of “tools” of communication. At first you’d be impressed only by the seemingly limited grouse vocabu lary. But with crest, ruff, tail, wings and body-feather accompani ment, the refinements and vari ations seemed limitless. Then cairte the final and most interesting phase of their school ing. Usually one old grouse began silently to elevate his crest as he stood tall, his ruff distending slow ly, indicating the approach of an imaginary enemy. Every grouse came to attention. The old grouse uttered any one of seven specific, different, ventriloquistic notes which iseemed to come from any where but Where the grouse stood. All the grouse took proper evasive action. For example, if the note in dicated that a hawk was approach ing, every grouse faded into the underbrush where they apparently knew that a hawk, a nonwalker, is helpless. During following hunting sea sons, Ehrhart often heard song birds and nonpredators warning of the approach of enemies. When the perimeter grouse guards, wbo were always there but unseen, sounded their warning, every grouse oame to attention and scooted for shelter. When hawks, owls, foxes, bobcats and lynx ap proached, a warning call dis tinguished the species and pro duced the same evasive actions that had been exhibited against imaginary enemy-approach in the training grouse ‘he had seen in earlier years. Rev. Robert H. Harper Elijah Challenges Baal Worship. Lesson for May 9: I Kings 17: 11; 18: 17-24, 37-39. Golden Text: I Kings 18: 21. s Elijah was one of the grand, figures of all time. Coming out of the hills of Gilead, from exact place and parentage of which no man knows, he confronted an apostate king. Ahab was one of the worst rulers that ever disgraced a throne. His wife, Jezebel, was the daughter of a Sidonian king, and one of the worst women that ever lived. These three fill many pages of the Old Testament The great day of testing came on Mt, Carmel, overlooking the Medi terranean Sea. Ahab gathered all the priests of Baal and the proph et, alone and unattended, met for the test that Elijah had proposed and to which the king had agreed. Two bullocks were slain and one given to the priests of Baal and one to Elijah. The priests cried unto Baal to consume the sacrifice with fire. They leaped upon the altar and cut themselves so that their blood fell upon the sacrifice. But no fire fell. Then the prophet repaired the ruined altar of Jehovah, laid the bullock thereon and poured water upon it that there might be no claim of trickery; And he called upon God and fire fell from heaven, burnt the bullock and licked up the water that had run into the trench about the altar. Let us be brave in the effort to destroy all the evil things that would woo our people away from God. 7M 4 ** * # SEW AND —'SAVE!
