^ KII6S1YEE GRADED AND IIGH f
S SCHOOL ITEMS. ':'
? li
The tenth grade is beginning to
realize the short time they have left
to attend school. The days and weeks
seem to fly at a more rapid rate than
they did even two weeks ago. We
will be glad to lay down our muchwoin
and carefully studied books
for a season, but it makes us so sad
to think of never returning to our
beautiful and greatly loved high
school.
One more month to toil and woik.
One more uiontti to toil ami shirk.
Then the grand times will be o'er.
High school days will be no more.
Then Instead of ri>ing soon.
We can sleep and dream till noon
Of school bells loudly ringing.
Of school girls proudly singing.
It makes us sad?we want to weep?
Hut up the walls the sun doth creep.
Out ot bed at last we gain
And long for old school days again.
?By One of Tenth (Jkadk.
Wf intend to till these last few
weeks full to the utmost of pleasures
anU good times. Some of the lower
grades have started already. The
eighth and fifth grades, with their
'respective teachers, had their picnics
last Saturday, the eighth grade at
the Red llill, the fifth iu Fulton's
grove. Ou next Saturday the literary
society picnic will be held, probably
at the Red Hill. Besides this
there will be several receptions and
parties given before commencement.
We were very glad to have with us
ou Monday morning Rev James Mc?
Dow ell, who is well known in Kingstree.
having preached for a number
of years 111 Clarendon county. Mr
McDowell made us a splendid little
talk during chapel exercises. We are
honored.to have had such a distinguished
old gentleman visit us.
Our Wasteful Politeness.
Not very loug ago the manager of
a telephone company iu one of our
larger cities issued instructions to
the exchange girls that thev must
no longer use the word ''please" in
conversation with patrons. It consumed
too much time. "What
? ? 1 ?- ? nU/v?n lfo
numoer, piease.~ was tuum uj iwi
embroidery and reduced to "What
number?" To be sure, it was less
courteous, but, ou the other hand,
>4 it was infinitely more profitable. Byactual
count it was found that the
girls had been saying "please" nine
hundred thousand times a day. Al~
lowing half a second to the utterance,
here was an awful daily waste
of one hundred aud twenty-five
hours. Five days going to waste
every round of the clock; a sheer
loss of sixty months out of every
yearl Is it any wonder the manager
was concerned and put a stop to
the draiu? Why, the time it took to
say "please" in one day was more
. than enough to allow him and his
whole family to go to Europe.
True, this is but a local circumstance;
but to those of us who are
not asleep it portends the beginning
of a world-wide reform. If the
elimination of a single word of
politeness in a telephone exchange
can insure sucb a remarkable saving
of precious time, our duty lies clear
before us. "Hello," "Dear sir,")
"Yonrs truly," "Beg pardon,"I
"Thank you," aud a score of other
little pleasantries left over from our j
unprogressive days must inevitably
follow the fate of the telephone
"Dlease" and the kitchen coffee
grinder. It would not be surprisI
ing to learn that the people of the
r United States say "good morning.''
I a hundred million times a day.
The loss of time that this represents,
allowing a second to each greeting,
is enough to befuddle the most reckless
spendthrift. It meaus that as
a nation we stand still more than
three years every day. There are
not figures enough to calculate
where the world would have been in
its history by this time if we had
been tree of just this one encumbering
formality of speech?Clifford

'I'd Rather Die. Doctor.
tAan have my feet cut off," said M
Bingham of Princeville, 111. "But
you'll die from gangrene (which had
eaten away eight toes) if you don't,"
said all doctors. Instead, he used
Bucklen's Arnica Salve till wholly
cured. Its cures of Eczema, Fever
Sores, Boils,Burns and Files astound
the world. 25c at D C Scott's.

Salters Depot, April 20:?Thursday
night, about 9 o'clock, the barn,
stables, etc, of Mrs S E Davis were
destroyed by Ore, supposed to have
been started by sparks from an en
giue which had passed a short time :
before. Considerable corn, fodder, j
guano, etc, were also burned, and it!
was with difficulty that the stock;
was saved. At one time it looked as J
if the town would be burned, but by i
continuous pouriug of water ou ad- i
joining buildings the Hames did pot
spread.
Sailers baseball team was ready
for the Kiugstree boys last Thursday
for the promised game, but I suppose
they were afraid if they came
over they would not get a score.Even
the school team was afraid to come
over Saturday, so the school boys
looked in vain for them. What's the
matter? Are the Kiugstree boys
afraid to give the country boys a
game? We will play any teanyn the

her reward. Mrs Eliza Player
wife of Mr E M Player, died at
her home near Harpers on Friday,
April 2)1. very suddenly of
heart trouble. The remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery at
Harmon}' church on April *J4 in
the presence of a host ot sorrow*!
ing relatives and friends who
assembled to pay their last respects
to the deceased. Mrs
Player was a sister of Mr Sam
dune, formerly of Nuttons. Her
husband preceded this Christian
lady to the better world two or
three years ago. Mrs Player will I
be sadly missed in this community
both in the sick room and !
in our churches. Her influence '
in the Methodist church will be
felt for years to come, as she
and her lamented husband were
among the founders of Harmony
Methodist church. May she be
rewarded in the life to come for
the noble work done in this
church for the good of Christianity.

Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased i
$
It costs no more to cultivate an acre that produces
two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only
one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do
with
is
Virginia-Carolina
T! 1
fertilizers
Other men have been able to double and more than double y v
their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers.
Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and
say: "We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the
people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms,
squares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about
2 Dales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fertilized
and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
1 five acres."
An interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to wiH be
found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book, copy
of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent x
free, if you write our nearest sales office.
