THE SILENCE.
IT'S fearful when your lov<ng wife
fih A walls you on the stairs
* And asks in biting accents
Tne hows and whens and wheres.
But never this my feelings stirred
As when she never said a word.
And when your boss arraigns you
In words that sting and smart
And things about your folly
He tells you heart to heart
There's nothing that can make you crawl
As when he doesn't talk at all.
A man who loud assails you
And brawling bawls you out
Is one to be avoided?
A terror without doubt. ,
But dread the man who folds his paw
A novor trlvf?? a a-nrd nf law.
And take a babbling maiden
Whose voice la all a-thrill.
She fables you to faer tribute
And bends you to her will.
But she will never hold her sway
Like one without a word to say.
We set some store by talkers
And list their wondrous tales;

^ FOI BETTtR SCHOOLS [
This is the time of year to begin :
preparations for a better school next I
year. Under the law I see no
chance to have a good county school
without first getting a school district
of suitable size for one schooj.
The school in such a district need
not be a "graded school," nor even;
a consolidated school, although, in ,
most cases, our small schools should J
be consolidated. The advantages i
of small districts of suitable size for j
one school are many, some of which j
are:
(1) The school has a set of ^rus- j
tees whose only duty is to .?ook i
after the interests of the ong /nool. I
(2) The funds of the disl^ct are!
not divided with any oth?- school, j
but are identical with the school's1
funds.
(3) The district being small, and
the interests centered around one I
school.it is easy to levy a special tax j
to supplement the school fund.
(4) Under the present State-aid j
law, the one-school district has the
advantage, as the law allows aid lo
only one school in a district.
To sum up, the one-school dis-;
trict is in better shape in every way
for progress and to take advantage
of the present conditions for State-!
aid.
Every country school in the county
should levy a special tax for
school support, for by doing this
they may receive $100 from the
State for $100 raised by special levy.
The steps necessary to get a
school district are not complex. All
that is necessary is a petition to the
county board of education outlining
the territory desired in the district.1
After the district is granted trus- J
tees are appointed, and the people j
are in shape to vote on a special I
levy for school support, if they so j
desire.
unaer tne present law tnere is uu
reaaon why every school should not
have a good school building. For
every $100 the people raise for a!
building the State will give $50 and [
the county $#0. If you need a good j
school house try and see how easy,
it is to get one.
I will be glad to attend any meeting
anywhere in the county, called i
for the purpose of considering plans
for school improvement.

Pillsare, in my opinion, an excellent
remedy. I suffered almost:
constantly from a dull ache in the

shooting pains in my loins and upon
arising in t he morning I was very
lame and sore. It was auite a while
before he stiffness and soreness
disaopeared. I finally concluded
that my kidneys were disordered,
as the secretions were highly colored
and contained sediment. I used a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
acted pr?nv tlv, removing the lameness
and soreness from my back and
regulating the passages of the kidney

"77THILE Ahab was king of Israel. Je\V4
hoshaphat succeeded to the throne
of Judah. He had the advantage
that his parents were godly people?a
great advantage. As suggested in our
last study, the iniquity ar.d Idolatry of Israel
reacted favorably upon Judah. just
as the drunkenness and profligacy of a
parent sometimes reacts upon his children.
who perceive his folly and learn by
his mistakes. Moreover the idolatry of
Israel, which drove its most saintly char
acters of all the tribes to Judah. enriched
the latter nation In moral tone and character.
This included all of the priests and
Levltes who were still loyal to God and to
the worship which he had established.
Encouraged thus, the young king began
a general crusade against every Idolatrous
place and custom In his kingdom.
Ar Ahab exceeded his father Omrl as an
evildoer, so Jehoshnphat exceeded his father
Asa as an upholder of the Divine
Law. Indeed we remember that In Asa's
later years he became proud and self-conscious
and In a measure for a time rebellious
against the Divine arrangements.
Prosperity In Divine Favor
Jehoshaphat's kingdom prospered. He
fortified Its various boundaries, especially
toward the land of Israel. Judah's nearest
neighbor. Neighboring smaller nations
sought Judah's favor
and for It paid -*
tribute and pros- f
ents until Jehosh- ^ /-?< W\\\VW

prosperous, but we remember also that
many wicked nations and Iniquitous customs
have prospered and are prospering
today. Prosperity, therefore, is not always
a sign of Dirlne favor. To Jehoshaphat
and his kingdom, however, prosperity
was a sign of favor because Judah
still represented God's chosen nation in a
special manner. According to God's Covenant
with them they would be blessed
In proportion as they maintained their
loyalty to their agreement?their loyalty
to God.
But this promise or Covenant was not
made with mankind In general, but merely
with tha one nation of Israel, which, at
the time of our ?tudy. was specially represented
by the Kingdom of Judah. If we
would see that righteousness does not always
bring peace aqd worldly prosperity,
we have only to look at the Master him- !
elf and at his most faithful followers to
ee the contrary. Moreover this is the
Master's assurance to his followers: "In
the world ye shall have tribulation, but
In me ye shall have peace.*'
But when x Messiah's reign shall begin,
all this will be changed and every wrong
act and word and thought will receive
prompt punishment, and every good effort
will be rewarded and cncograged.
Thus the Scriptures declare. "When the
Judgments (righteous dealings) of the
Lord are abroad in the earth, the inh&b"??

time will belong to ail mankind except the
Church. The specially called class of this
Age have the special blessing of hearing
ears and understanding hearts and a call
to the heavenly portion?the "High Calling."
Thus, my dear readers, we see that our
trials and difficulties, rightly appreciated
and accepted, are blessings for us. because
they thus work out for us a far
more exceeding, and eternal weight of
glory?than the world will receive. The
highest rewards for the world will be restltutlonarr.

DOINGS OF GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
THE INAUGURATION?TRIP TO
lVINTHROP?SEVERAL MEASURES
OF INTEREST DISCUSSED.
~~
The Capitol,Columbia,January 23:? ^
The beginning of the new administration
was the most important
event of the second week's session
of the General Assembly. Pale,
trembling and showing every symptom
of a very sick man,the Governor- :
elect w as barely able 11 stand alone^v
while Magistrate Dunbar administered
the oath. Not being able
himself to speak his inaugural address.it
was read by the reading clerk
of the House of Representatives,
who seemed to catch the inspiration
of the hour and the spirit !n which
the adJress was prepared. What
might be termed the preface of the
message brought vividly to mem
? T MC
mory the horrible cartoons and the
\
scathing" editorials which flooded
the State and entered the homes of ,
our people during the closing days
of the last campaign. Mindful of
these things we hesitate to criticise
either the motive or the contents
which this message revealed. Let
us remember that this was an extraordinary
occasion and hope that
Governor Blease will prove to be an
extraordinary man. He is entirely
free from the strong influences
which perhaps have taken a step or '
two too many in the past, and occupying
the unique position of complete
freedom, except the obligation
of promise to his friends,should
bring him face to face with the fact
that this is a great Commonwealth
and that he alone is at the helm.
On Thursday, which was Lee's
birthday, the General Assemhly visited
Winthrop college by special in- 1
vitation. As a pleasure trip this .
occasion was full and complete.
We enjoyed each and every minute,
yet the announced purpose of inspection,
I am afraid, was either ,
minimized or entirely forgotten. -.
The trip demonstrated the fact that
"'M nn nooH nf inatwf.ifin
I II1C1C W (SO IiV liVVVI VA ... ->
as a business man's view, no nee^
for the trip, The invitation intimated
that it would cost nothing, which
caused a gentle suspicion that it was
given at the expense of the
railroad. There is a growing sentiment
against these trips and perhaps
none other will be taken for
quite a while. ' j
The more important measures of
Legislation for the week was the
Torrens system of land titles. If
the Lower House will agree this
j matter will be left to a commission
i of six who will thoroughly invest'gate
the system and report their
finding to the next General Assembly
The marriage license bill has
been passed and sent to the House.
This bill caused much discussion f
and may be taken at first thougnt
as unnecessary, but its purpose is I
good and as it is applied and becomes
the custom, our people will
no doubt appreciate and defend the
measure.
. The bill to bring to an end the &
merger suit is also one of inteiest %
and will be disposed of the coining J
week. Sentiment is divided on this ^
question, and while the result is not
certain, it is probable that the bill . >'
will pass.
The resolution to make this a 30 I
day session was passed by a small I
majority. 4s a matter of fact, f/
however, this may amount to noth- j
ing, as the resolution will be re- {>
scinded if the work is not finished k
when the 30 day limit expires. Ji
