He wears his years well anil we were
indeed glad to see him.
A C Hinds., Esq., was up from
Kingstree a few hours Wednesday
-of last week on professional business
H G Askms, Esq, spent the day
here Friday.
.Mr M M liougtrs was in Kingstree
Saturday.
It is reported that two white men
stole fodder from Mr M V Ward a
few nights ago. Tiis is certa n'y
getting down pretty low. but not
quite so low as the case of the white
woman who stole a hog trough and
carried it four miles.

X CICi iuat uu, "iiv
where Ben Hantia shot Saturday
"night before last and got a bullet
through him, is, we hear, getting
well. Ben is etill in the bushes
and there seem to be no efforts
being put forth to catch him.
The bliud tiger dealers of this
. town and community may come to
the conclusion after a while 'hat
their business is not what it is
"crocked up" to be. Infendaut
Blackwell has at, this writing, fifteen
gallons of whiskey locked up
in the guardhouse. This was seiz
ed on well founded suspicion, and
no one has so far taken steps to recover
any of it by law, nor has the
"refrigerator'' been broken into.
Doubtless the "bereaved" go to the
window, take a long look through
the bais1 at tileir lost ones and lift
op their eyes and weep. Auri these
"weeps" are large "weeps;" their
money gone; their liquor goue; aud
their customers standing around
with their tongues hangiug out.
*Tis euough to melt a heart of stoue
or kill the bud worms on a cabbage;
but that door stays closed. Line
it out and these mourners will sing:
"On Jordan's stormy banks I
stand, and cast a wistful eye "
* Mrs Mattie Fulmore aud little
daughter expect to leave here Friday
for New York.
Lake City, April 17:?Peculiarly
saddening was the death of yonng
Miss Sallie Hiunant, which took
place last Friday at Lander Female
college, Greenwood. She was sick
ten days, only the last four of which
? ? ?? ->~-J : 1? tJ..?
rcgarucu. aci ivuoiy. iin laiuu,
OrT B Hinnant, and one sister,
Miss Dora, were with her when the
end came. The fatal malady was
gastritis. She was only seventeen
yeare of age and the second youngest
of five sisters of a family of six
? children. In appearance she was
strong and full of leaping vitality,
yet she is the first called out of the
family ot eight, including her father
and mother.
At mid*day Sunday the last rites
were held at the Methodist church,
conducted by Dr Juo 0 Wilson,
president of Lauder college. Then
silently the body was borne to the
Baptist churchyard where in its littie
bed all that is earthy of this tender
maiden sleeps that sleep that will
linger till the light of a brighter
day, kissing eye and cheek and brow,
calls back the breath which shall
fly thence not again iu all the ages
of God.
Miss Sal lie was a member ><f the
ohnrnh unrl ,*i sine?re Christ
ian. She was really an exceptionally
bright and winsome girl and a general
favorite. To say that all who
knew hej loved her is stating nothing
more thau the simple truth. The
flowers that were laid upon her coffin
in such profusion came from hands
moved /by hearts that feel, snd
V 4
deeply joo, all that which these
tributes silently spoke And she
was beautiful, too?not the beauty of
the selfcouscious and vain, but that
beauty which one recognizes as the
expression of innate sweetness, of a
perfume that can not be described,
but that ia real aud mastering.
Strange, strange, that the young,
strong and vigorous should be called '
I away aud we old hulks, that have so
long been little more than derelicts, ,
are still making our ports. Yet the t
Great I Am holds the winds and t
isome day we shall understand. [
| '-Sense knows not; faith knows uot?
; only, from mystery through mystery; s
from God to God." If there be
truth where truth should be; if the 1
pure iu heart die not, theu is this
cherished one where the lilies wither :
uot and where the chill shadows c
! return uot any more. I

Graded School Department. (
The niemliers of the tenth grade, *
a - -i ^
us you Know*, wrire me nenis ior j
the paper; but as our teacher has c
given the eighth grade the task of r
writing thein this week, we shall a
9
do our best aud beg the people to c
tiy to endure the change. j
Miss Erckmann, our much be. j
loved primary teacher who spent ^
several days in Charleston, her home, a
last week, attending the marriage a
of her sister, Miss Dorothy Erck- a
mauu, has returned and reports a
very pleasant visit. This was a ]
well-earnea vacation and, although a
we missed Miss Erckmaun a great t
deal, yet we are glad that she was 1
given the enjoyment of a visit home.
Two good things came off Mon- 0
day night, the lyeeum attraction j
ami the storm. We were aware of
the attraction about a veek before t
hand, but the storm took us by sur- c
prise. The storm came first, but 7
after that the school auditorium was ?
filled with the people of Kingstree 6
who stood the storm to hear "the best
of the season." F
r
Rev E E Ervin paid us a visit 1
Fridav morning and conducted i
chapel exercises. We are always
glad to have our town friends, es- ^
peciallv the preachers, visit us and ^
ouly wish they would come oftener. \
The eighth grade is not writing '
essays, as our tenth grade friends a
are doing, but we are having almost I
as difficult a time in gettiug Ulysses
back to his home ofter the siege
of Troy as he himself experienced. ^
The Wee Nee Literary Society held v
its meeting hridav afternoon. It |
was a very interesting one, as new
officers were elected. They are as i
follows: Mary Swann, president; 1
John Ross, vice president; Mamie }
Montgomery, critic; Clara Mont- J
gomery, secretary; Ruth Hinnaut, c
treasurer; El ma Hinds, censor. 1
Our scciety is prospering in spite s
of all pessimistic predictions and c
we hope that the public meeting we j
expect to have next month will be c
atteoued and enjoyed by all. t
The society is delighted to learn *
that Mr Louis Gilland. of the Kings- ^
tree bar, has accepted the invitatiou ]
to make the address at the pnblio
meeting of the society, which will
be on the Friday eveuing before
school closes. Besides Mr Gilland's
g
address there will be a prayer, "rnus- {
ic and a debate. The query select- g
ed for the eveuing is: Resolved, J
That the immigration of foreign people
to the United States is desirable. ^
Mary Swann and Mamte Montgom- j
erv, from the ninth grade, are the
debaters >u the affirm itive, and
Clara Montgomery and David
Scott, from the eigth grade, are on
the negative side.
Prof Bethea is still talking about
and demonstrating the good of a

Ruth Hiunatit was called sudden- i
ly to Lake City Saturday to attend
the funeral of her cousin, Miss

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
tt e* Apt to Hoy? a Harmful Effoot
Upon Oigaation.
Science in its study of men and
inimals finds all sorts of contradic;ory
evidence respecting the rela;ive
values of exercise and of rest
luring the process of digestion. It
las been proved that climate is the
trincipaL consideration at the outlet.
In the tropica the siesta, or short
lap, after the midday meal is found
10 be a natural development and a
lecessity for human beings, while
n the temperate zones sleep imraeliatcly
afteT eating is apt to prove
larmful, though rest in a waking
tate is desirable in most cases.
The whole subject is well outined
in a Paris scientific journal,
Joswos, from which the following
vo nrv?o nV? i o tronclof orl A
/aiagi apu 10 biaujiavui
"In ten)T>erate climates an adult ij.
n good health who eats moderately tc
loes not feel the need of sleep ira- v<
nediately after eating. Somnolence
ittacks only dyspeptics, aged per- "
ons and excessive eaters. In warm 1 ~
limates, especially in the tropics, j
t is impossible to go out of doors
>etween 11 a. m. and 2 p. m. or
o occupy oneself in any way. Peo>le
are thus led to lie down, heat ind
digestion aiding this tendency, ?.
,nd the siesta becomes a habit, not n
in absolute necessity."
If one does lie down after meals a
hould he sleep or remain awake? 11
)r. Schule, an assistant of Baumler ^
it Freiburor. has analyzed the conents
of the stomachs of two nor- !
nal subjects removed several hours
iter an identical test meal of bread j j"
ind distilled water, followed in the i
ne case by sleep, in the other by '.
imple rest in a horizontal position, j 1
le shows that sleep during diges- J ^
ion always results in weakening
he motility of the stomach and inreasing
the acidity of gastric juice
-a fact attributed by Schule to the
rritation caused by the chyme's re- ^
naining abnormally long in the
tomach. ^
He has also remarked that 6im- y
>le repose in a horizontal posture,
lot accompanied by sl&ep, stimuates
the gastric function without
ncreasing the acidity. jr
The conclusions of this physiolo- ^
fist need to be supported by a very
arge number of tests. The similest
test is to ask whether persona
irkr, alw>n offpr patincr evnerience
my discomfort. Numbers of them g
ay that a siesta interrupts digestion p
,nd that on awakening they have a n
utter taste in their mouths.
Profitable Doaporation.
A certain Mr. Davies, who began
ife as a sawyer and carpenter and It
rhose honesty and industry carried o;
lim on to wealth as a railway con- ti
ractor, sunk all his money in bor- w
ng for coal, no coal being found,
rhcn he called a large meeting of
lis miners and told them that he
lad spent the earnings of his life ti
n the speculation and would have d
o abandon it. Holding up a half a
:rown, he declared that that was all h
le had left of ?40*000, yhich hp had u

>ut, "And veil have that too." "So ri
rou shall!" cried Davies, and threw jj
he coin among them. This bit of ^
lesperation so delighted the men a
hat they straightway determined M
.0 go to work again, wages or no 3]
vages. In a few days they found w
jxcellent coal and plenty of it, and 4
[hvies was again a rich man.
Old Indian Mathematics.
It is remarkable to what extent t<
[ndian mathematics enter into the
tcience of our time. Both the form n
tnd the spirit of the arithmetic and j
ilgebra of modern times are essen- c,
dally Indian and not Grecian. ^
Think of that most perfect of math- y
iniatical symbolisms, the Hindoo
lotation; think of the Indian arithnetical
operations nearly as perfect j
is our own; think of their elegant u
llgebraical methods and then judge s;
whether the Brahmans on the banks g,
if the Ganges are not entitled to
lome credit. Unfortunately some
if the most brilliant of Hindoo discoveries
in indeterminate analysis
reached Europe too late to exercise *
the influence they would have ex

There is a clergyman of Brooklyn
ivho, contrary to the usual custom ^
his profession, is much given to
jport. Especially does he like a bit a
){ shooting in the Adirondacks. 1;
During his last expedition to that f
. m i tl
region, in company witn a iriena,
they were tramping through a
stretch of woods at twilight when
suddenly something flitted by their ^
heads. The Brooklyn divine prompt- j,
[y brought his gun into play and
brought the creature down. Upon "
hastening to the spot where it fell e
they beheld the face of a white owl j
staring at them out of the grass. e
Whereupon the clergyman exclaimed,
with some agitation: 5
"Come away, Jack, come away!
I've shot a cherubim by mistake!"?

rrange her toilet a little before adlitting
the caller. There was. a

Teddy's father had brought home
orne rare old cheese, and after
tearing his praise of its strong
oints Teddy was manfully strugling
to make away with a small
iece of it. Seeing the cheese still
n his plate and Teddy's nose pereptibly
elevated, his father said:
What is the matter, Ted? Don't

"Yes," answered Teddy, with the

Politeness.
Politeness is a just medium be

j, in fact, good nature regulated by
uick discernment, which proporions
itself to every situation and
very character. It is a restraint

very irregularity of temper, of appetite
and passion. It accommolatcs
itself to the laws of custom
nd fashion as long as they are not
nconsistent with the higher obli:ations
of virtue and religion.
