ISLE OF PALMS MAY BE SAVED
Last week it appeared from newspaper
reports that the Isle of Palms,
Charleston's "Coney Island," was
doomed to disintegration as a pleasure
resort for the thousands of people
who, year after year, have suffered
all sorts of jostling and the inconveniences
incident to poor transportation
facilities, in order to reach the
bathing beach and dancing pavilion
(about all that can be boasted of) at
the island, except for the colony that
settles there among the weeds, sanddunes
and mosquitoes to spend a vacation
during the hot summer months.
For the sake of those who enjoy
pleasure and profit at the Isle oif
Palms, it is sincerely hoped that wayc
and means may be yet devised tc
* * * ,v ? n.i.1 41.^1 U
save it irom oonvion. iwtuuer uuv n
might, through the action of the committee
of five, appointed for the purpose,
with the cooperation of the
Charleston Chamber of Commerce, be
saved, rejuvenated, enhanced and improved
as a resort for the pleasure
of patrons to the profit of the owners
Kings tree Summer School.
To the patrons of Kingstree High
and Grader School: For the benefit
of those pupils who failed on one oi
mnro cnHiWtiS nnd who wish to tn
the next higher grade, the trustees
have secured Miss Rubie Thorn t<
teach a six-weeks summer term, beginning
Monday, August 2nd, 1920
At the close of the term an examina
tkm in the work covered will be given
and if the pupil makes a satisfactory
passing mark, he or she will be giver
an opportunity to try the next highei
grade?otherwise they will be left ir
the same grade; so it depends upor
the work the pupil does as to whethei
or not he will be promoted.
Pupils who are behind on one subject,
even though promoted, may profitably
put some time on the deficiency
Also those whb were absent from final
examinations on account of sickness
of any other couse.
The charges for this instruction wil
be one dollar per week. Pupils whc
are not oromoted and wish to try th<
Mxt higher grade are required to d<
this work.
For further information apply tc
Miss Thorn.

! BIG LETTER FROM CHINA <|
Written to the President of United |
States 76 Years Ago. '
i
A news item 76 years ago said: j
The Emperor of China recently a<l- j T
* dressed a letter to the President of i
' the United States. This document is a !
serious affair, and has attracted great
attention at Washington, where it has
* been received. The letter consists of i
| a roll seven feet one inch long, by two , (
feet eleven inches wide. It is written | c
. on silk paper, the borders beautifully |
ornamented, and the whole inclosed 11
j in a rosewood box. The epistle is thus J
, translated: 2
5 The Great Emperor presents his re- j 2
gards to the President, and trusts he
. is well. : 2
i 1. the Emperor, having looked up ! 2
' and received the manifest will of 3
I Heaven, hold the reins of government 3
over, and soothe and tranquilize the
Central FL .very Kingdom, regarding A
all within and beyond the border seas
as one and the same family. 3
1 Early in the Spring, the ambassador
of your honorable nation, Caleb 3
Cushing, having received your letter, 3
? arrived from afar at my province of 3
| Yue. He having passed over the
i oceans with unspeakable toils and 3
j fatigue. I, the Emperor, not bearing A
| to cause him further inconvenience of
! traveling by land and water, to dis- A
; pense with his coming to Peking, to
be presented to Court, especially ap- A
pointed Ke Ying of the Imperial House,
minister and commissioned extraordi- A
narv, to repair thither, and to treat
him with courteous attention. >
' Now, bound by perpetual amity and ^
i concord, advantage will accrue to the J
citizens of both nations, which, I* trust,
must certainly cause the President, J
, also, to be extremely well satisfied
i and delighted. J

;| Wives Musn't Try Reform. ^
;! \
Columbus Dispatch: Husbands ^
should give their wives a real partner- ^
, ship in financial affairs. Wives
r should cease attempting to reform ^
: their husbands. These were the out- ^
i standing features of the annual ser- ^
> mon by the Rev. L. N. D. Wells, of
; the First Church of Christ, of Akron, ?
to couples he had married. ?
' "Marriage is a partnership into ?
i which the wife has thrown all. In ^
! many instances she is made beggar ^
by her husband," he said. ^
s. "When the children need clothes ?
m
. j and when she requires even necessities J
of life she must go to her autocratic
I husband and supplicate for funds. ^
! This invariably leads to the divorce '
i! courts.
t; "Live in your home alone. No
.. house was ever built large enough to
r: accommodate the newly-married cou5!
pie and any of the relatives," Mr. '
> Wells admonished. "When father or v
. mother attempts to sol /e the children's 1
problems, there is always trouble." ^
