I GRIDED SCHOOL ROTES. ;
Since our opening September 21
our numbers have steadily increased.
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.

j CAROLINE LEE'S SIGN j
By EDWARD BREENE. *
a
On one of the side streets near the
center of town there Is a curious old
gray house. 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."
