Says -Noah Webster: The fourteenth
of February is a day sacred
to St Valentine. It was a very odd
notion alluded to by Shakespeare,
that on this day birds began to couple;
hence, perhaps, arose the custom
of sending on this day letters
containing professions of love and
affection.
A Bible class was organized at the

Casualty Company Settles Promptly.
About five months ago Mr Jas P
Adams, manager of th* Southern
Furniture Co's establishment in
Kingstree.took out an insurance policy
with the Continental Casualty Co
of Chicago, with branch office at
Washington, D C, which is represented
here by Mr P A Alsbrook.
Mr Adams had paid into the company
about $9.00. Several weeks
ago he was seized with an illness
jvhich incapacitated him for work.
He sent his claim to the company on
January 26. The following return
dated January 31 is the prompt reponse
and explains itself.
458858
^ Washington, D C,
January 31, 1913.
Mr James P Adams,
Box 145, Kingstree, S C.
Dear Sir:?We are in receipt of
your notice of illness with Variola
which began January 2.
If you will refer to the Health Insuring
clause of your policy you will
note that same provides indemnities
only tor tne time tnat you are totally
disabled from attending to each
and every duty pertaining to your
occupation, and under the care of a
doctor. It appears from the blank
which we have in our possession that
you were able to resume part of
your work at least January 24, after
having been totally disabled for a
period of twenty-two days.
The policy which you hold does
not provide indemnities for the first
three days of any sickness. This
time has, therefore, been deducted
and there remains a period of nineteen
days that you will be entitled
to benefits at the full" rate of $50.00
per month, amounting to $31.66.
You will find enclosed our check in
that amount, made payable to your
order, in full settlement of your
claim, and we trust that same will
be entirely satisfactory.
Yours truly,
Continental Casualty Company,
G W Wesnen, Claim Ex.
This is a reliable company and its
policies the cheapes: and best guarantees
against sickness and accident.
If you haven't a policy call on Mr
Alsbrook and let him write you one.

Dr James Adams Haine of Columbia,Secretary
of the State Board
of health, is in town today on official

NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
Nature's Protest Against Burning ths
Candle at Both Ends.
Nervous prostration is a more or
less complete collapse of the nervous
system. It occurs when the sufferer
has urged himself beyond the
limit of his nervous endurance. It
is most common in early or middle
life, when the nervous system is
most coostanlly taxed. When it occurs
in the very young excessive
work at school is usually the cause.
When it comes on later in life it is
because the si ruggie for existence is
proving too severe.
The breakdown is not always
caused by actual overwork. Sometimes
it means, in old fashioned
phrase, that "the candle is being
burned at both ends." Only very
strong people can work hard and
keep late hours as well. The man
of average physical powers must
make up lys mind to devote himself
to his worn and get his recreation in
healthful occupations outdoors. As
a means of rest and amusement for
the tired business or professional
man nothing is better than a quiet
game of golf?not taken too seriously.
Nervous prostration does not declare
itself without warning. There
are many danger signals. It may be
no longer possible to accomplish the
usual quantity or quality of work
because of impaired memory^or loss
of power of concentration; peevish
irritability and a tendency to con
stant faultfinding may appear in a
person formerly equable and serene;
headaches may return each
day at about the same time?that is
to say, as soon as a certain degree
of fatigue is reached; there may be
nervous indigestion, and the simplest
food may cause distress. In
some cases the mental depression is
60 great that a strong man, at the
least provocation, will burst into
tears like a girl.
Most cases of nervous prostration
could have been prevented if taken
in time. The ordinary man is intelligent
enough to recognize in himself
the many signs of overstrain,
and there are few so driven by circumstance
that they cannot, if they
choose, relax a little and evade the
coming trouble. 11 anotner nour is i
added to the night's sleep, another
mile added to the daily walk, an occasional
day deliberately taken for
complete rest, an interesting hobby
taken up, the habit of worry firmly
checked, the nervous system will
quickly right itself. Worry is the
greatest spendthrift of nervous
force. We should all learn to be as
obstinate about not worrying as we
often are about worrying unnecessarily.?Youth's
Companion.
Napoleon'* Scholarship.
Napoleon was a poor speller, and
his bad handwriting gave rise to the
rumor that he wrote so purposely,
to conceal the fact that he, the
master of Europe, could not master
French orthography. In the early
days of the empire a man of modest
aspect presented' himself at
court.
"Who are you ?" asked Napoleon.
"Sire." aaid the man. "I had the
honor at Brienne for fifteen months
to give writing and spelling lessons
to your majesty."
"You turned out a nice pupil,"
exclaimed Napoleon in pretended
anger, "and I ought to send you to
jail. However, since it has not
harmed me, I will give you a pension."
Method In Hi* Madness.
A lady walking in a park saw u
boy with a large loaf of bread,
which he was breaking into bits
and throwing to the ducks in the
SVio nancod an/1 nslrpd whv
iaag. MUV ..?j .
he was feeding them in that fashion.
"Because," he answered seriously,
"if you cast your bread upon the
waters it'll return to you after
many days."
"And do jou think your bread
will really come back to you?"
The boy rejected a moment over
the question end then said gravely:
"Well, if don't come back to
me I shall have a very good excuse
for sneaking one of them ducks."
Arabia and Chemiatry.
The chemistry of the present day
had its origin in the old time alchemy,
which had for its main inspiration
and object the discovery
of the "philosopher's stone," by
means of which the alchemists hoped
they might be able to effect the
transmutation of the base metalu
into gold. Great students of real
chemistry were the Arabs of the
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries.
Gounod's Progress,
"As you advance further in your
art," said Gounod to a young poet,
"you will come to think of the great
poets of the past as I now appreciate
the great musicians of former
times. When I was your age I used
to 6ay 1/ at twenty-five I said 1
and Mozart/ at forty, 'Mozart and
1/ now I say 'Mozart.'"
