GKEKLYViLLEMay 7:?Mr Editor, feeling"that our prosperous little town should be represented in the columns of your worthy paper and deeming it an j honor to represent her, I shall keep you posted from time to time of our progress. We haven't any dispensary funds with which to beautify our streets,yet nature, with the assistance ot our energetic citizens, has provided us with quite a lot of pretty shade trees. Mr Editor. I don't want to create the impression that we are longing for a dispensary, for we are not. We tried it once, and the baneful influence of the terrible octopus was in evidence long years after we got rid of the monster. The farmers through this section are right much behind with their planting, owing to the excessive rains of late. Quite a lot of our young folks took in the "Moot Court" in Manning last Thursday night. Among those who attended were: Misses Kittie Boyle, Mamie Allen, Bessie Hanekel, Cora Sprott, and the following young gentlemen: Peter Keels, S W Hogan, Prof Goolsby, Dr Haselden, S V Taylor Pguii O Of operating tke best, V Drag Store in * O Why of course he has il O get Scjv5 for what you 8UST o BKJ ijOT NEW Pi 5 LOCAL VIEWS T A Nigh Grade Candle X Ie .the CoAd Drink Line X purity our motto!

Mr Jaires il Tisdale, whose home was on the Cedar Swamp road, about 9 miles from Kingstree, departed this life on the 9th of Apr 1, 190?, aged about 76. His death was due to lagrippe, which had confined him to his room and bed for near three months. He was a man of domestic habits and had not beer- much abroad, vet he was a J j man of influence in his neighborhood and he used his influence | for truth and righteousness. He | was a deacon in the Central | Presbyterian cliurcn ana maae | a gift to the congregation of an acre lot, upon which the building now stands. With his quiet, thoughtful helpfulness he will be missed in church and society To a friend at his bedside on his last evening, who had just done some little service for his comfort and asked to do anything else, in thankfulness and consciousness of the approaching end, he said: "No, you can't do anything more forme: I have had all I want." He leaves a wife, and both sons and daughters, to emulate p his virtues and mourn his de' parture. In the midst of a. large concourse of kinsfolk and . friends, the last rites were done j for him at the old Tisdale bur> ial ground in the late afternoon j of April 11.

CARLISLE IS WOFFORD'S CHIEF ENDOWMENT. SOME THOUGHTS SUGGESTED TO A STUDENT BY THE BIRTHDAY OF THIS GRAND OLD MAN. Spartanburg, S. C., May 4:? On account of the fertility and natural resources of our virgin soil, wealth has multiplied imin<l 1'ict irnctp At lucuicij aim Liiv ? uqv ?uu>v ? open lands has been turned into one great emporium. All the world has become busy and grown rich instantaneously, and a great many of our plutocrats, unable to invest their money productively and soliciting the praise of their contemporaries, have bestowed large sums of money upon educational institutions, until today many of these institutions have a larger endowment fund than some of the strongest business and financial enterprises in the country. Accidently none of these stupendous sums has fallen upon Wofford College, but for the last year her financial agents have been most alert, and although her endowment has been limited from her earliest foundation, it now amounts to scarcely less than $100,000. Notwithstanding this serious and aggressive draw-bacfc financially, Wofford has a lasting and profound endowment that on other college in all the land may boast of, even though that college be as strong as Gibraltr and as enlightening as the press, and that is aDr James H Carlisle. That today is the 4th of May, 1907, we have cele brated the eighty-second anni versary of this venerable man whom we all love and adore. Dr Carlisle was born in Fair field county, S. C. His youtl was devoted to serious thoughi and a severe regime of mora and spiritual culture. At th< age of about seventeen he enter ed as a sophomore at South Caro lina, College where he was graduated in 1844 with sec one honor in his class. "He was born a teacher," and prior to his accepting the chair of mathe^ mastics at Wofford in 1854, he had been intimately connected with the odd Fellows' Institute in Columbia and the Columbia Male academy. In 1875, he was elected president of Wofford college, a position which he held until June, 1901. Since then his work has been very light, confined mostly to teaching Bible and Astronomy. To mention Wofford is to suggest Dr Carlisle. It is true that there have been men connected with the institution whose life have been more brilj liant and glaring, but none so on/1 cprpnp fnr such a length of time as this one has ever been seen here. In old age as in youth do we find him. It ie a rare privilege for a body of cnrh n cimr?7#? 3 LUU\.UkO IV HU t v wmvm %* and yet sublime life spent in their midst for so many years without once knowing or finding a flow in it. And that our generation of students is permitted to sit at the feet of this strong son of God and drink in the richness of his cogent mind and heart comes as one beholding1 the last rays of a rainbow-sunset. It might be that time will bear us far, or that the floods may carry us down, but the thoughts of youth and a retrospection of our early life bedecked with the daffodils and water lilies of his peerless teachings will e\er transform utler gloom into fadeless beauty. Upon such an occasion as this it is difficult to find just the words necessary to convey one's ideas, but thoughts of the past come thick and fast and like a wintry blast they toss my groping soul and hurry the darkness until at last the break of morn sweeps o'er the placid lawn and bids my soul be gone. ' As much as we esteem his daily walk among us we cannot fully appreciate the example he is setting, but some day we shall understand the fragrant touches he has bestowed upon us, and with equal beauty we'll all behold him and his Alma Mater. For over fiftv vears Dr. Carl isle has spent his thought and time upon this grand old college, and in his simple but profound manner adorned her with wreaths and garlands plucked from his virtuous character. All who know him and his relation to Wofford join in the cborns, "I'm a Wofford born; I'm a Wofford bred, and when I die there'll be a Wofford dead." His fame, like his name, has gone out ! through ail the land. The mocki ing-bird weaves it into its warble, and tht American eagle never soars so hijh but that it might commune with his immutable spirit. Those who ad? mire sincerity in human thought : and experience look to Dr Carl isle as an embodiment of the t human-divine. The sons of ! Carolina are oroud of him and i his contribution to them, and so 5 long as the sun spans the vault? ing sky or the stars loom in the 1 heavens and bathe mother earth - with their transcendent glory, just so long will his fame en dure, though humble it be. > Those who have frequented Dr Carlisle's classes / soon * learned nis mono: "ridiu avmj i and high thinking is the surest t and shortest route to success. - In his daily life he has admirably J made this sphere his own, and* * beautif ed it with an illustrious^ * exemplification of his sole pur? pose?uTo love and serve his. I Creator before men.'' ? In the building of character > every man erects to himself a - monument by which he will be ^ remembered, whether it be a ' ? o m oeoi TTA 1 mere UIUUUU Ul a. mawiKi * structure. Even the student lays a foundation and pictures 1 an ideal. It is certain that we as loyal Wofford men must choose from one of two. And whether we think of the past and in so doing point to him, ' noble and illustrious Mr Wofford, who has long been sleeping 1 beneath the fragrance of the jessamine and the honeysuckle* whose ideal we now stand for* or, looking towards the future* we picture him, our venerable Dr Carlisle, over whose hoary head the snows of so many winters have fallen and whose gaze shall ever rest upon the stately towers of old Wofford College, either could not be miss. Violet faces and lovely maidpns m.iv InQp thpir rharm. Constant love and anxious heartsmay cease to pine. Loyal sonsand devoted daughters may alienate their way-worn parents.The mind might cease to know and floods come streaming' up hill; but Old Woffoid, endowed with Dr Carlisle, shall live through all eternity and at last answer the bugle call.
