THURSDAY. 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

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.

Davy ha<l suggested that Liebig
might have known that Kdgar Poo
hail said that Alexander 1'oj^ and
George Washington had told Henry
Clav that President Aithur was
heard talking about a report in
which tile Honorable Zebedee Simpkins
was heard to repeat the fact
that mosquitoes are related to the
human family. \\" J K ('OX.

NEWSPAPER SLUSH.
|
IA Prevailing Custom That Might Be Improved
on.
We have long been of the opinion
that the most serious mistake news!
papers make, and the smaller papers
I - 'I. I... .? nnttillir ill
j i-ajiixiiiin mime ii/, is in
: print a lut of slush that every man
| on the stall laughs at, and that
I while it tickles the vanity of a few
people ean but serve to lessen public
I respect for tile profession. 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. The chalk and
: water ice-cream invariably consti|
tiiU-s delicious refreshments. There
j is something doing in the adjective
department from early morn to
dewy eve.
The larger dailies havfe about
(stopped this foolishness, but the
weeklies and smaller dailies are still

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,

You don't like those gray
hairs, do you? And your husband
certainly doesn't like
them. Then why not try a
bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor?
It restores color to gray hair
every time, all the deep, rich
color of early life. And it
cures dandruff also.
