New pupils are being admitted almitted almost every day, until our enrollment has reached 235. Our school-house has been undergoing a much-needed overhauling and now we have new desks wherever needed and windows and doors in good condition to withstand the cold, which will soon be upon us. Miss Brockington went to Columbia last week to attend the Fair. Miss McLees was in charge of her classes during her absence. Our school sent a very creditable exhibit of drawing and manual training work to the State Fair. Last May, just before school closed, Mr H 0 Britton presented us with a State flag. This was hoisted last Saturday for the first time.and now, during school hours, the beautiful flag of our dear old Palmetto State can be seen floating gracefully above our building. Mr Britton has always been a kind and loyal friend to our school, and we thank him most sincerely for this latest evidence of his friendship. A Might of Terror. Few nights are more terrible than that of a mother looking on her child choking and gasping for breath during an attack of croup and nothing in the house to relieve it. Many mothers have passed nights of terror in this situation. A little forethought will enable you to avoid all this. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fail. Keep it at hand. For sale by all dealers. Why the Youth's Compaoioo Should Be io Every Family. "If I could take only one paper," said the late Mr Justice Brewer, of the supreme court,"it would be The Youth's Companion?a little of everything in a nutshell,and unbiased." The Companion is a family paper in the completest sense. It provides reading that, without failing to interest the young, still interests the mature. It unites young and old through their common enjoyment of delightful fiction, agreeable miscellany and the clear exposition of public questions. So carefully is it edited, so varied are its contents, that it would easily supply a family with entertaining fiction, up-to-date information and wholesome fun, if no oth?r periodical entered the house. If you are not familiar with The Companion as it is to-day,let us send you sample copies and the Forecast for 1915. New subscribers who send $2.00 for the fifty-two issues of 1915 will receive free all the remaining issues of 1914, besides a copy of The Companion Home Calendar for 1915.

It ^?? stands far back ^ AT** from the street /]R>\ and Innks for all the world like a {? sour old man who severely d i s a pproves of his newer and more "flighty" neigh- ^= J? bora. Its fence has fgja * long since fallen <r* into decay and is held up here and #y there by a groan- : HRj ing post or a creaking wire. On 1 Rigd the rickety old if RSgsl I porch hangs a neat new shingle, bearing in bold black letters the following: "I don't want no niggers hangin' round here and 1 don't want nothing to do with niggerm nohow." It is signed "Caroline Lee." ixuw, iu a pemuu uuiu mui auuuob as much curiosity as a cat, such a sign Is like a red rag to a bull. However, for a long time, In spite of all I could do, I never had a glimpse of the occupant, though I often heard a somewhat cracked yet unmistakably darky voice singing "At the cross, At the cross." Then finally, one happy afternoon I saw her, little and old and wiry, black as the ace of spades, clad in calico skirt and bright red sweater, and wielding an ax with all the vigor of a farm hand. Of course I was overjoyed at seeing her, but I was still a long way from knowing what the sign meant I thought of every way to become friends with her, but none seemed to suit, until finally 1 had a. happy thought?her dog. When I meet a cat she always gives me one look and immediately remembers urgent business elsewhere. But every dog seems to recognize in me a boon companion, so from that time on my path was clear. Every day as I went by I'd have a visit with the dog. while his mistress peeked surreptitiously from behind the curtains. At last I was rewarded by a smile and a tentative "Mawnin'." And such a smile! It was for all the world lik? the sun breaking through a fog. In this way matters went until I cam# to knqw her better, and Anally on* day I took my fate in my hands and asked her to explain the sign. I had been afraid she would take my request as an offense, but Instead she smiled broadly and invited me to "set down on the porch step." Needless to say, I was only too willing to "set." "You see," she said, "it'B neah eighteen yeahs since my ole man died down in Nashville and lef me with six chillen and nothin' to keep me on. But lawd, Ah didn't care; 'pears like Ah knowed ev'yone in Nashville, so Ah jes' whirled in an' went to work. Ah raised ev'y one of them chlllen, and when they got married they Jes' picked up one after nuther and lef me. Well, Ah didn't min' that, but looks like ev'y time any one of them chillen or their husban's got out o' work?and that's mighty neah all the time?they come to stay with me. Ah stood that for a long time, and then Ah got kinda tired, so jes' went to Missus White, that Ah worked to', and tole her Ah'd made up my mind to light out. She was a powerful fine woman, Mise White wuz, and she tole me she was a-comin* out heah, and would bring me 'long. She didn't half think Ah'd come, but 'pears like Ah'd got kinda desp'rit, so Ah come, and the only thing Ah brung wuz mah little ole grip and mah dawg. "Well, Ah got along fine heah, too; you see. Miss' White knowed lots o' people roun' heah, and Ah had all the work Ah could do. "But lawd, Ah hadn't been heah more'n two months when them pesky chillen o' mine comes pilin' in on me like the wrath o' God. Seems like they'd been writin' to some fool niggah heah, and they just got it into their haids to come. They didn't have no money, so Ah had to let ein stay till they got work. An' finally it was jes' as bad as ever; got so Ah couldn't keep enough to eat in the house to feed mah dawg, let alone me. Ah didn't know what to do for a while, and then one day Ah got to thinkin', and went down to the sign man and had him paint me that air sign. Them fool niggahs done took the hint, too; an' Ah hain't never see'd hide nor hair uf 'em since." "But don't you get lonesome for them sometimes?" I asked. "Lawd, honey, If you'd been bothered with them like Ah have, you wouldn't think Ah'd evah git lonesome; sides," she added, with a twinkle in her eye, "they's enough white folks comes in heah to ask me about that sign to keep me from evah gittin' lonesome." Franco-British t?n;enie. At the distribution at the Mansion House, London, of prizes to successful students in the competition organized by the National Society of French Masters in England, M. Paul Cambon. the French ambassador, remarked upon the rapid increase of candidates who this year numbered 6.000 The ambassador said It was interesting to note f'at the sar.i" phenomenon had occurred in France. The young French people were taking up more and more the study of English letters Tfiat was a token of the "rapprochement" between ihe two countries, whose relations had becomo united by feelings of cordial sym. pathy. _
