A Promising Outlook for a Flourishing
School Year.
Benson, October 7:?Again school
days have come and the children are
enthusiastic over assembling togethin
pursuit of the education that
may be obtained by assiduous applil
cation to their studies, promptness
- in attendance and obedience to their
teachers.
^ The Cedar Swamp Graded school
opened for scholastic duties Monday
morning with Miss Bennie Adam of
Rock Hill as principal and Miss Mary
Huey, also of Rock Hill, as assistant.
Miss Sadie Snowden has charge
of the primary department until the
arrival of Miss Beulah Warren of
Charleston. Both Misses Adam and
Hney have spent four years at
Winthrop College and come highly
recommended by Dr Johnson, not
alone as competent instructors but
also asjfilled with the spirit of educating
and improving along all lines
appertaining to the rural districts.
The principal's self-possession and I
bilityf were readily recognized by!
the patrons assembled, when she
opened the exercises and made an
fimpressive talk to them and the pujrils.
The trustees in a few remarks
pledged co-operative intentions to
the school and teachers. We have
no gifted orators in our midst, but
for a plain, practical, common-sense
public talk Messrs J G McCullough,
H C Haddock and G Ollie Epps art
-the- representatives of the community
that all eyes rest upon on occasions
when it is expected. Each one
spoke on subjects germane to the
maintenance and up-building of the
... , ?t n_
cbooJ. At|tne conclusion mr r,pps
offered a medal to the pupil who
will make the highest average mark
in the principal's room. Mr W E
Snowden offered one also to the one
? leading in his oxf her studies in the
assistant's room, and Mr J Y McGill
one to the best scholar in the primary
grade. WES.

HH WAS QOOD, BUT NERVY.
Would You Have Given an Increase In
8alary to This Man?
The following story, taken from
j the American Magazine, brings up
1 the question as to whether, under
the circumstances, the man in this
story should have his salary raised:
"Good morning, Mr. Perkins,"
greeted" Forbes airily.
Perkins glared, speechless.
"Good morning, Mr. Perkins,'^repeated
the young salesman politely.
Perkins exploded.
"What th' dickens d'yuh mean by
butting in on me!" he roared.
"Quite so. Quite so," agreed the
young man. "Now to our business"?
"I won't listen! Beat it?quick!"
"What I wished to 6ee you about
was"?
"I said get out of this office!"
"But I"?
"Well, what is it? Quick!"
"I am now drawing $G0 per
month," said Forbes easily. "1 wish
it increased to $80, commencing"?
"And for that you come rampaging
in here at my busiest hour. Boy,
are you plumb crazy?"
"Don't get excited, sir. Eighty
dollars is a trifling sum"?
"Trifling sum? Good Lord!
Why, when I was your age $80 was
a huge amount"?
"But times have changed, Mr.
Perkins. When you were ray age
times were different. The cost of
living, education and morals was
lower More time and liauor were
consumed, fewer books read. With
all due respect, I venture to suggest
that modern salaries are not to be
regulated by what they once were."
"Say?say," spluttered the irate
employer, "I know you're going
to be disappointed. D'yuh know
you're the first one of my men
who's dared to ask me f'r a raise?
Can't I run my own business ? Don't
I know w'en a man deserves a raise
without him comin' in here when
I'm up to my ears in work?"
"So I suspected," returned
I Forbes. "However, I'm not trying
! to run your business. My matter is
i personal to me"?
j "Y ou?you"?
"Don't say it?please," admonished
the younger man. "You might
regret it."
"Well, of all the"?
"Nerve," completed Forbes. "Yes,
it's nervy, Mr. Perkins, I admit
that, but success requires nerve
these days."
Perkins' stern features relaxed a
trifle and he indulged in the ghost
of a smile.
"Mebbe you're right," he hazarded.
"At any rate, you've plenty of
the right stuff in you, if you are
fresh. You need taking down, but
?well, come out with me ana IU
fix it with the cashier."
Together they strode out The
office foroe applied itself mightily
in the presence of the man higher
up, but they watched covertly and
wondered at Forbes' triumphant
grin.
The pair paused at the cashier's
desk, and the salesman delighted in

"Simmons," said the big boss,
"this morning I sent yon an order
to raise the salary of Forbes, here,
to $100 a month. Cut it down to
$801"
To Test a Diamond.
Place ia a glass of water. An i
imitation diamond will blend with
the water and become almost invisible,
while a real diamond will
be distinctly visible, shining out
brightly in the water. Dry and clean
the atone and on the flat aide put a
drop of water. On the real diamond
the water will hold ita globular
form and can be led around with a
pin point. The drop placed on an
imitation diamond will spread. Examine
the atone under a magnifying
glass. The facets of a false gem
are even and regular; on a genuine
stone they are of various sizes.?

Evidanea Against Him.
"I am proud to say," said the
man with the loud voice, "that I
have never made a serious mistake
in my life."
"But you are mistaken," said the
mild mannered man with the scholarly
stoop. "You have made one
verv serious mistake."
"I'd like to know where yon get
your authority for saying so.w
"Your declaration is evidence
that you have never tried to see
yourself as others see you."?Exchange.
