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 Episcopal church last Sunday afternoon. There was a large attendance and Rev Dr Wilson's address was very interesting and instructive. These meetings will be continued on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, and members of all; churches or of none will be heartily welcomed. Mr W D Wilson, of the firm of W D Wilson & Bro, R F D Vox, was in Kingstree Tuesday on his return home from Charleston.

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. adv-lt Dr James Adams Haine of Columbia,Secretary of the State Board of health, is in town today on official business. * 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.'" \ !
