Jeff. Davis' Birthday.
\ t
The 100th anniversary of the
birthday of President Jefferson Davis
will occur en June 3, 1908. The
Confederate veterans, association and
various other Memorial associations
have suggested that this day be observed
throughout the South to teach
important lessons connected with
the work and life of this great citiaen.
It is a good opportunity to
impress important lessons in connection
with the history of the
Southern Confederacy and period
immediately preceding it. A great
many schools will close before that
date, so I suggest that you urge your
teachers to take such time, as may
mit best for each school, for some
important lessons and exercises of
this kind.
Sincerely yours,
0. B. Martin,
State Supt of Ed.

GREELYVILLE GREETINGSNeeded,

Local and Persoeal InterestGkeelyville,
April 20: Greelyville
is very much in need
of a hotel building. Our genial
hotel proprietor, Mr U R
Burgess, is now occupying two
cottages to accommodate the
traveling" Dublic. so it seems to
us that the time has come when
it .is the duty of our business
people to get together and
build a house that will be in
keeping with the other improvement
of our town. Mr S J Taylor
owns a lot near the railroad
station, which, no doubt, could
be bought for this purpose, and
with its large shade trees would
be a very desirable site.
Mt Hope Lodge K of P held
the most interesting meeting of

evening. Messrs W M O'Bryan

called in and asked to mount
"Billie Esquire", which invitahe
profnptly accepted. But Mr
demons is a careless rider aud
became an easy victim to "Billie's"
pranks.
Mr Mood Cannon, formerly of
this place, but now of Charleston,
spent one day here last

It is rumored that Miss Windj

in the near future.

FLEA IN THE PLEIADES.
Indian Lagand About Fiva Maidens
Who Would Marry For Lova.
A curious explanation of the origin
of the Pleiades is given by a
writer in Out West, who secured it,
among other myths, from a tribe of
California Indians.
According to this piece of tradition,
a great chief was the father of
five daughters so beautiful that they
a - J k,,f
aurucieu mauv eunuis, um iutj
declared they would remain single
unless they could marry for love.
They were very cold and critical
and quite ignored the young men
who came to court them. One day
when they were playing and singing
Baakil, "the Flea," heard them and
followed the sound until he came in
sight of them. He was so captivated
that he prayed the Great Spirit
to transform him into a handsome
man.
No sooner said than done. When
the five daughters stopped, dancing,
there among them was so beauteous
a masculine being that they fell in
love without' further ado. When
the Flea had decided on his choice,
he went to the chief and asked for
.J >* rnrnmL' n/1 in

find that all five of the girls pined
to be his.
So he married them all, one after
theother.and they lived in peace and
happiness through the winter. But
with the late spring and summer a
change took place. The heat affected
the Flea, and every time he
embraced any of his wives they began
to itch. Their rosy cheeks vanished,
their buoyancy became languor,
and one took pity on the other
and said:
"You must ieave him to save
your beauty."
When all five had been told the
same thing from each other they
decided that something must be

ters met, and each proposed a way
of escape, yet none was available
save that of the youngest. Her
plan was that they leave him for
good and all.
To accomplish this end they gave
him a sleeping draft when he awoke
at the usual hour for his drink, for,
the Flea was a very light sleeper, and
the hurrying and bustling of the
five women would have awakened
him had he not been drugged. When
he was in his soundest sleep the women
departed.
When the Flea awoke many hours
later and got up he thought,
"Where are ray wives?" Looking
about, he realized that they had
fled. He went eastward and had
journeyed many days when just
about to rest on the sandy 6hore of.
the ocean he caught sight of them
and excitedly exclaimed:
"1 will catch you yet!"
They heard him, and the youngest
turned to see how far behind he
was. She called to her sisters: "Let
us hasten. He is gaining on us rapidly."
Curiosity caused the others
to turn. They lost time until again
the youngest cried, "He is very
near!" Then with one voice they
cried: "We will go up into the air!
There he cannot come with us!"
Slowly and gracefully they rose
until they reached the places they
now occupy in the 6ky. Baakil
again invoked aid of the Great Chief
and through him was also allowed
to arise to the sky. But before he
was able to embrace any of tns
wives he, too, was turned into a
star.
That is why there now are five
stars close together in the Pleiades
and one at the side. This one the
Indians are convinced is the Flea.
Her Turn Would Come.
It is the custom in all parts of
Scotland to send invitations when a
death occurs in a family to all the
neighbors to attend the funeral. A
rather erim story once arose out of
this. A neighbor had been omitted
by the bereaved family in the usual
invitations, a feud having arisen between
them. On the day of the funeral,
while the people were assembling,
the slighted old woman stood
at her door watching the gathering.
At last, unable to bear up any longer
under her resentment, she exclaimed:
"Aweel, aweel, we'll hae a corpse
o' oor ain in oor ain hoose some day,
and syne we'll see wha'll be inveetit!"?Scottish
Nights.
Practical Answers.
An answer given in one af the
Cambridge local examinations was
particularly bright. The question
was in mechanics and was, "Why
will a pin not balance on its point?"
The reply was: "First, because a
point, being that which has no magnitude,
cannot stand upon what does
not exist; second, it will if you stick
it in."
"The people of nerculaneum and
Pompeii died from an eruption,"
was the answer to a question concerning
the deaths from the gTeat
eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79,
and an eminently practical answer
to a question as to where Magna
Charta was signed was, "At the bottom."?London
Standard.

Kennedy'8 Laxative Cough Syrup the
cough syrup that tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar and
which children like so well to take.
Unlike nearly all other cough remedies,
it does not constipate, but on
the other hand it acts promptly yet
gently on the bowels,through which
the cold is forced out of the system,
and at the sametime it allays in flam
mation. Always use Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup. Sold bv W
