Young Folk at Home for XmasUnion High School. Rome, January 6:?"Home again, gone again,"is what has happened to a few of the graduates of the Union High school in Rome and its vicinity, j As we rarely see anything in print j from this section, perhaps the movements of these young folk wi' be of interest to some of your many readers. Our homes have been made glad by the home-coming of so many bright spirits, and we miss them more and more as they leave us. Among these home-comers were: Miss Iva Eaddy, graduated at Winthrop, teaching in Newberry county; Miss Pearl Eaddy, teaching at Zeb; and Prof F R Hemingway, graduate of the University of South Carolina, principal Pine Hill High school, Orangeburg. Students were: Misses Daisy Brockington,Daisy Munnerlyn and Louise Wilson, Columbia College; Amy Eaddy, Ruth Carraway, Florence Hemingway and Alice Chandler. Winthrop College; Messrs! Prossley Thomas and Charlie Thomas, University of South Caielina;; Hammy Haddock. Draughon's Busi- j ness College, and A B Hemingway, j Jr. Atlanta College of Pharmacy. These are only a few of the output of this school, some of whom have) gone out in the business world to! put in practice what has been taught them, others to complete what was begun here. There art a great many whose circumstances compelled them to stay in and around the home. Some of these circumstances were extremely sad, as some started out with those mentioned above, but duty called them home and they came to the front and took their places as managers or heads of the home?recognizing the hand of the Master and realizing that the post of duty is the post of honor (all the better from being trained). It seems,Mr Editor, just the other day that these young ladies and gentlemen were little tots around our knees; it begins to make us feel old in years.if not in spirits, to see them grown up and taking their places in the world. We feel proud that we are able to send them out so well equipped, and I'nion High school needs no better advertisement than this, as "nothing succee Is so well in this world as success." All honor to Prof Mitchell and his corps of noble teachers. Roman. EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS 1 F<>lt in Many Parts of the State Last Week. An earthquake shock, in some instances severe enough to shake down chimneys and break vases, occurred in many parts of South Carolina between 1 and 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon of last week. The shock was quite general, being felt throughout most of the State. The earthquake was especially severe in the Piedmont section, although it was felt in other parts of the State in a lesser degree. At Gaffney chimneys were caused to topple and at Union chimneys fell. At Greenville the shock proved severe enough to cause vases to crash from mantels. The shock at Chester was sufficient to move the linotype machine in the office of The Lantern. The earthquake visited Edgefield and caused old residents to think of the shock of 1886. No serious damage is re>ported from the quake. In almost all the co mmunities visited the citizen? were greatly alarmed during the few seconds the rocking and rolling of the earth went on. The Beet GUI. At this season of the year, when the hearts of the young are gladdened by receiving, and the hearts of those who are older are made to glow with new warmth by the bestowing of gifts, let us not forget the example of him in whose memory we celebrate Chistmas. He Gave Himself. Trinkets bought with money serve a purpose, and articles of use, j wrought by loving hands, give-pleasure, but after all the need of the' i world is Service, and back of ser-j vice is Love. "Though I bestow all my goods to | feed the poor, and though 1 give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing." Christ came to bring Life as well' as immortality to light; He came that we might have life and have it j more abundantly. We give most when we link our-: selves in loving sympathy with our fellow men ?when we share their hopes and aspirations, rejoicing with them when they mourn. Then we ; realize the meaning of the words of the Master: "All ye are brethren." j Thnm Koorl tVin pnmmflrulrnpnt* "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as! thyself." This Christmas was rich in blessings in proportion as it led us to give Ourselves, and thus help to make life more abundant for those about US.- '*>' ConhilOUl /*. If S50 is too much for a boar or a ram, $150 too much for a bull, or $1,000 too much for a stallion for breeding purposes, why is it the breeders don't all get rich, or why do not some of those who think these prices too high breed a few of these animais anu inernseives umK.tr some of the excessive profits.?

If moisture and sunshine and a long growing season are favorable to large yields of corn, as everyone knows they are. then the South should and will be the "Corn Belt" of the future. It is true that in addition to these climatic or natural advantages, good farming and a soil well supplied with organic matter are also essential. The good farming is rapidly coming and the rich soil is only a question of good farming in any section where a money or general field crop and a restorative legume crop can be grown the same year. A crop of oats may be followed the season with cowpeas.soy beans, peanuts or lespedeza, or a corn can be preceded by a crop of crimson clover, bur clover or vetch, and then another crop of legumes?cowpeas? growing in the corn. With these conditions, good farming means that the South will be in the Corn Belt at all times. The boys ni. i i i.i oi me uorn uiuos nave snown mt possibilities. When the possibilities are shown to be above 200 bushe s per acre, who can be found boM enough to state that the South does not offer opportunities for corn growing not equaled anywhere in the socalled Corn Belt??

I am a firm believer in telling the | story of life to children as soon as j they begin to ask questions. Not all at once, but by degrees, and as they are old enough to understand. The origin of life is the most sacred and beautiful thing in the world and we: should pass the story on to our chil- i dren in all its purity and teach them that they should regard their body and its functions with reverence and love, and not even speak of it light-! ly. We mothers on the farm, where the wonder of life in its various forms is ever before us, have exceptional opportunities for telling the story in the best way and I believe it is our sacred duty to do it. A i child thus made acquainted with the mystery of his being is safeguarded to a great extent against the vulgar talk of nlavmates who mav not have been so well taught. All children Jelight in mystery, and in finding 3ut things they think the grown-ups i ion't want, them to know. Remove ' this element of mystery by telling them things yourself and you reuove the temptation to discuss them ,vith other children.?-V/x Lilian ({rooks fiaf lin, in The Progress ice Parmer.
