The county chairman djrects us us to sav that candidates elected to the office of supervisor of Yegistration will not receive their ap pointment until comnnss'ous of the incumbents expire, which will L>e in February, 1902. Also that, for the same reason, members of board oi control elected this year will not be appointed until the spring of 1902. The county superintendent of ?ducation requests us to say that in accordance with instructions from the State board of education, the trustees of all lite school dis tricts are requested to meet in) the court house it Kingstree ! he j third Friday of the summer school, j A.ug. 10th, to discuss school ques-: lions. It is hoped that there will I be a good attendance and much profit derived from this meeting.

Discourses on tho .'"vue of 7ru: Dr> mestic Bliss. | Some days ago, Mr. Editor. T was j reading an effusion from the {en of a earrulous woman bewailing the ! unhappy condition of the farmer's ! wife because she had work to do, day after day, in her house-keeping | department, and at the end of the I year had no money to iay up in ; bank: and that the wrinkles in Imr | face were evidence that she saw no pleasure. But 1 wouid ask. "Is pleasuee' measured by idleness, smooth faces and money? Is marriage therefore :: j a failure?*' lias the human soul become 30 ishriveled that Love, Humanity and; | Keligion must take a bark scat and j let the great money got) claim first: i honors and absorb the adoration of ! mankind? ! know that. mo?:ey dominates thi; government, which seems to be run as a machine to grind money oat of the pockets of the masses and deliver r j over to the coffers of the few without value received. And f know that! when the masses make a demom-Tra-! tion for the restoration of their rights the classes cry out "Domagr.gue!" 1 know, too, that half the women in the world would rather murry fori gold than a good husband, and half! the uien for money than a good wife. Yes, half the people in the world, and the biggest half of the other halt, seem to think happiness is foucd in idleness and mouey; and one is again tempted to is!:, ''is marriage a failure?" is the divinely instituted relations between a loving husband and a precious wife to be measured by a little uiouey aud work? i Can the privilege of living a lifetime in the smiles of the nicest girl in the world?vour own choice of them all?be overshadowed by a lit tie work, or measured by a few dollars and cents? " Id it nothing to ? woman to capture the adoration and life services of the sweetheart she likes the best, and pledge hand for band and heart for heart? Does she want to sit idle nil her life thereafter and tempt the devil to make a workshop of an idle brain? No! No! Mr. Fditor, work does not kill the happiness of a well rounded man, or a whole-souled woman. And then the childien?the blessed children! They are worth all the work in the world. They make I h thousand times more happiness thau the work to support their little wauts. We ourselves have already four tittle angels in heaven, and t*o larger, prominent ones that J expect! to liud in the front ranks of the! heavenly host, as well as seven more; not yet there, but working their way,' making the world better about then, j and always eouinbnting to the hap- ; pm*ss <?f their appreciative parents.! And theu the grandchildren - so! smart,so many so good that we refuse \ to compare them with gold or silver, f or money 01 any kiwi. Work' yes. work is essential tc the! happiness of the human race i:i thisj world, and I pity the woman or the ; man who turns op the haughty no^e at work or working people. b-rtme people, however. mury for' love, ami to better illustrate Jet n J Muofe oitc ma . own words as "o ciS; courtship ana espcritace.
