JULY 6.1905 John D Rockefeller has coughed up $10,000,000 for higher education. Better get in a supply of oil before the price goes soaring. It's a little bit eurlv foi campaign speech-making, but fortunately for the spell-binders the "glorious Fourth'' gives them an opportunity to' let off some of their thunder. / What has become of the scheme * for building a cotton ware-house? If the ware-house is to be built for next season it-is time for those who are interested to be up and doing. Our esteemed contemporary, the Williamtburg County R?x>rd, ; ? "?* ??/** ? /?/? mnnli in rlaninl Ill 1191 UUl iw muvu >i? from Mr Kobe^t C Ogden. A denial that negroes are welcomed at t y his restaurant might involve loss to his business, and even in the interest of edncation in the South such a sacrifice is not looked for.?News & Courier. The average educated man gets a galaxy of $1,000 a year. He works forty years, making a total of $40,000 in a lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 a day, 300 days in a year, or $450 in a year. In fdrty years he ears $18,000. The difference, or $22,000, equals the value of an education. To acquire this earning capacity requires twelve years at school of 180 days each, or 2,160 days. Divide $22,000 by *2,160, and it is found that each day at school is worth a little more than $10 to the pupil.?Selected. There is one thing that puzzles us very much and that is this: Why I will people put confidence in perfect strangers, rather than in men of * known integrity with whom they may be acquainted? We have a particular person in mind just now. Ai agent, whom he had never seen before, went to him and succeeded in selling him a lot of worthless stuff. At any rate he charged several times what the goods were worth. The "sucker" preferred to place confidence in Mr Agent rather! than trade with his home merchant, whom he had reason to know was' honest and who would have sold bimj the same goods at a much smaller i price. But it's the old story of a fool and his money, and we will grow gray-headed trying to solve the i problem: and when we leave this earth it will be unsolved, because a new fool is born every hour. But we hate to see it just the same. Gaffney Ledger. Respectable Grafters. ** A certain individual who has a cultivator and harrow for sale is sending the weekly newspapers ot the State advertising matter lioosting , his invention to the extent of a col man ut- aiore of space, which lie modestly asks to be published "in the interest of education." It has come to such a pass that the m<>re liberal of the schooi* and college* want a two-column write-up "thrown with a two-dollar ad., and some of the rest, io which the State appropriates thousands of" dollars annually actually have the <ierve to ask for free advertising on I % S the ground that they have 110 funds to pay fur it. This is only one class I , of the number thai pose as chari.uble objects \vi?eu twant advertising. Scarcely a week passes but we are importuned to publish something that conns within the scope of advertising for t lie sake of some "cause'' or other. Thepresumption of thes? respectable grafters is surpassed only by the f.?cili y with which they "take iir'jso many guileless and unsophisticated newspapers whose bitsiness managers really ought to know better. Man and the Mosquito. Gentlemen, Mr Piesident, and Ladies: I rise before this augustus body with feelings more easily described than imagined. I come to address you upon a subject in which you are all concerned ? a subject upon the decision of which depends the destiny of a nation. And 1 wish to Sp'-ak in language so simple that even lb.- women and children uiay be able t.. mulct stand me. What js man:' Man is an amphibious, plantigrade, hyporetted i.... ' i c .i +\.i; <>? (JllU(iril)K'U 01 me Reruns iciia vi genus rana, carnivorous in some inspects, herbivorous in some respecm ami jubivorous in the rest. Htr lives principally on goats, herrings, kerosene oil and common whiskey. He does not live alone, hut usually has another man living with him called the wo-man. But let us proceed to deli no mosquito. The mosquito is a high-bred, carnivorous, digitigrade indentate biped animal of the genus homo, closely allied to the armadillo. Habits piecarious similar to those of man. His food is chiefly rare meats, but he is also, like man, fond of ham and eggs, ice cream and oysters on the half shell. Another point, man sings. Ditto the mosquito. What music is more J charming or so touches the feelings, or so arouses a man from drowsiness as the sweet-toned and melodious \oice of a mosquito. W no oil Hearing this sweet, gentle voice will not instinctively reach forth and try to gather the singer in that he may come iu closer contact with him? Picture to yourself a poor, innocent, harmless mosquito on a winter's night singiug for something to eat. Tiiat man's heart must indeed be as hard as the Rock of Niagara or the Falls of Gibralter who is not touched with the profoundest and most sympathetic feeling as he looks out upon such a scene as this. But I will not dwell longer, as I already! see the tears trickling down your j cheeks. I have only one practical remark to make in winding up, the extreme force of which you will all see. Shakespeare said that John Milton told Lord Byron and Ben Jfthnsnn that Beaumont and Fletcli er were heard to whisper that Sir J Walter Raleigh and John Ford had j said that Lord Bacon and Edmund I Spenser had responded to a question I which Sir Philip Sydney had been ! supposed to propound to Thomas | Sackville, who seemed to be satisfied that John Lyly had never thought that Robert Green and George Peele would be surprised if Edmund Waller and Francis Quailes had heard that Sir Thomas Brown and Thomas Fuller were under the impression that Jeremy Taylor had remarked to Samuel Butler that John Dryden was heard talking to William Congreve about the remark of John Locke to a friend in wnich ~ ?T i.

When lie get- married every peanut politician is Hon .\ V Thingumbob, the j brilliant statesman, etc., etc. When a briefless lawyer acquires a wife he cannot support lie becomes in the nuptial notice a rising young attorney. When a drooling demagogue harangues a mindful of "fellow siterzens" in the town hall, lie delivers a "masterly oration." When Reverend (,'omelately preaches I.is initial sermon and puts his new Hock to sleep lie has delivered a powerful discourse.

V or less interesting u? find one pap- r taking the other ttack. Thus, the Oklahoma News, published in ! Mississippi, chronicles a few events: lohn Bonin, the laziest merchant | in town, made a trip to Bel I view j vesterday. .lohn Doyle, our grocery man, is i doing a poor business. His stole is dusty, dirty. noxiously odorifeious. How can he expect to do much? The Rev Styx preached Sunday night ou "Charity." The sermon was punk. If the reverend gentlefman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he'd have bigger congregations. Dave Snokey died last Saturday at his home in this place. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is he was drunk, aifd whiskey is what killed him. IIis home was a rented shack on Roudy street. Married?Miss Sylvia Rhodes and James Canhan last Saturday evening | in the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary town girl who doesn't know any more than a rabi bit about cooking and never helped j her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty uy any means and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well-known here as an upto-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks all his life and don't amount to shucks. They will have a hard life while they live together and the News has no congratulations to offer, for we don't believe any good can come from such union. Now it is a ten to one shot that every word uttered by our Oklahoma contemporary, to which we give the top of the morning, was so, though ?ve would not advise the brethren to adopt this style without first acuuiring a thoroughly dependable re peating rifle. But we do submit that a happy medium 1 etween this stiff statement of facts and the usual slushy article would inspire a larger respect for the press as a whole among the reading public. It may not be wise to state all the facts, but the newspaper should not, cheapen itself by stating what it knows is not a fact in order to flatter a cheap vanity.-Virginia Pilot, IMI?BMP?BO ill?i BPP| Come Now Own Up You don't like those gray hairs, do you?
