Familiar Talks With Old Friends. We often obtain the best results by think? ing about those things, wbicb appear most trivial and trite, and we are frequently sur? prised to discover those truths, which could have been discovered at any previous time bad we but given them a moments thought There is indeed too much taken for granted in this age of ours, and it seems a pity that the fact of a vast amount of knowledge should blunt the desire for further advancement, in? stead of encouraging us to drink more deeply of the Pierian spring in which past expe? rience teaches us can be found that, for which we seek. This short introduction is a suffi? cient, apology for introducing a subject, which bas been discussed in its every phase by men of many ceuturies past ; a subject, about wbicb almost every coe thinks it is impossible to say anything new. Let us hope, however, that there may be some whose age will pre? vent the subject from seeming 30 old and who maj profit by a perusal of the same. Viewing fractions then, in their, four opera? tions, it will at once appear evident to all why it is necessary to reduce teem to a common denominator before subtraction or addition. It is known to the merest novice that the de? nominator names, while the numerator num? bers; that the denominator states the quality, the numerator the quantity. It is equally obvious that it is impossible to add or sub? tract things of different quality, different name, different denomination ; i. e. it is im? possible to add any number or parts of a number of oranges to any number or parts of a number of apples and obtain as a final re? sult an orange or any number of oranges. We must first find the value of an orange as related to an apple, in other words we must comparea thing with itself or with its equiv? alent. It is often necessary, in order to make the comparison clear, to change the forms of the numbers, with which we have to do ; but as this process does not alter their value it is perfectly legitimate. The next question that presents itself i3 why is ii that in the multiplication of frac? tions the product is smaller than either of the original numbers. The answer to this is very plain and simple ; but it may be that it may strike some honest inquiring mind, and it is therefore that I make bold to offer it. The larger the denominator of any fraction, the smaller i3 the value ot that fraction. Every proper fraction has a larger denominator than numerator and by multiplication theder-omi tor is increased more than the numerator and consequently the v?'ue of the fraction is de? creased with every successive step of multi? plication. It may again b? asked why it is that in the divisions of fractions we invert the terms of the divisor and multiply. It may be observed that this is not necessary, as we may easily reduce the fractions to a common denomina? tor and thus ty a process of immediate infer? ence obtain the desired result. Since, how? ever the otbfr method is the more common it is best to give a reason for the operations in? volved. When the product of two numbers is equal to unity, they are said to be the recipro? cals of each other, and since it is the same thing to multiply by the reciprocal of a num? ber as it is to divide by the tMiniber itself, we may, ra the divisions of fractions iuvert the terms of the divisor and multiuly. Q. E- P. Something IN'ew! M. E. Frierson, whose residence is on the "Weldon Hills," the prettiest ?nd healthiest site in the city, is now feasting his tenants on oranges, as they are so plentiful during the Chriatmas week. * WORK OF THE LEGISLATED Continued. were passed, and about fifty to a th readiog. FRIDAY, DEC, 18. HOUSE. j The House devoted most of the E sion to clearing routine and local b from the calendar and remained io 6 i sion until midnight. I There was a long debate over the n fi-h departtneut bill. Finally a co promise was reached by which the < ties of the fish commissioner were < volved upon the phosphate commission! who is allowed $500 additional to 1 salary. The anti-ticket scalpers bill u killed, but the Senate bili to the sai effect will probably come up. The bill to allow railroads to b competing Hoes was killed. SENATE A motion by Senator Smythe to i coosider the vote by which the conci rent resolution- to elect railroad coi missioners oo Monday was agreed was defeated by a majority of one. The debate was adjourned on a rr tion to substitute the Timmerman b for the Childs bill. The Timmerm; bill is a modification of the governoi recommendation, and it provides |th only half, instead of the whole of t! liquor license, shall go to the cono treasurer, the other half going to tl cities or towns granting the licenses. The bill to repeal the act of last ye regarding medical boards of examine was indefinitely postponed, bat may ! taken up again. SATURDAY, DEC, 19. HOUSE. The committee appointed to r district the State so arranged the di tricts that there would be a negro m jority in each district. The bill w; promptly killed. The bill to re-apportion represent tion in the House passed the secor. reading. The bill to amend the act to provic for the revision, digest and arrangemei of the statute laws of the State, c which the debate was adjourned thn days ago,'came up for consideration. The bill, which had passed the Sei ate, provides, in general terras, for a exteusiou of the time for the revision < the statute law of the State by Judg Maher. The work thus far done by ti commissioner does not include that pai of the statute law relating to crimes c the code of. criminal procedure. Th bill proposed to allow *the commit stoner $2,500 for the additional year work and ?1,000 for an assistant an required the commissioner to annot?t the revision by incorporating in it r< ferences to the decisions of the suprem court explaining or construing th statutes. The extreme economists succeeded i striking out the section providin $1,000 for an assistant, and called tb yea and nay vote on it. Mr. Buist theo moved to strike on the section providing $2.500 for th commissioner for doing the extra year1 work. This came within three votes c passing but the speeches on the othe side had been so earnest and convincin that it was defeated by the close vote c I 41 to 45. The remainder of the work of the da; was uninteresting. SENATE Tue appropriation bill was the specia order after 12 o'clock. There was opposition by a number o i reform economists to the $300 appro priation to the colored Mechanical am Agricultural Society, but after consid erable discussion an amendment makin; the appropriation $500 was passed An amendment appropriating $10, 000, for the erection of a building fo the colored male inmates of the Luoatii Asylum, was offered by Senator Beas ley. The amendment was lost after ; lengthy debate. The next special order was the bil to provide for the j>er diem and mileagi of the members oftbe General Assem biy. Senator Woodward offered at amendment reducing the pay of Sena tors to $3 per day. It is not neces? sary to say that the amendment was lost. It received only four votes. On moiion of Senator Timmermac the prohibition bill was made the spe? cial order for Monday. The following bills passed tho third reading. To authorize the city'council of An? derson to subscribe ah amount not ex? ceeding $100,000 to the South Caro? lina Industrial and Winthrop Normal College. Joint resolution to appropriate from the S'ate treasury the sum of $125 to be used for the purpose of erecting mar I bio head and foot stones at the graves of those South Carolina soldiers who fell at the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, and whose remains aret here interred. And the following bills are ready for ratification : To provide for procuring and pre? serving documents relating to the his? tory of South Carolina, aud to make an appropriation for the same. A joint resolution to provide for re ! pairing the tomb of General Francis Marion, in Berkeley couuty, besides a number of no special interest. MONDAY DEC. 12. The World's Fair bill was the prin? cipal bill before the House this morning. The provisions of the bill are such as to give the election of the commissioners to the present Legislature, but Mr. John Gary Evans tried to amend by giving the Governor power to appoint. In this he was unsuccessful, for the House voted down his amendment by a very decided majority. A motion was also i made to indefinitely postpone the bill ! but the House evidently appreciates the advantages of an exhibit and sat down upon that motion with equal force as it did upon Mr. Evans' motion, j The latter, however, took the oppor? tunity to try to insert an amendment that if the present Legislature did not elect, then the Governor should appoint. This plan to give the Governor the appointment was a thinly veiled artifice, and the House quietly but determinedly voted it down. On motion of Mr. Wigg, one of commissioners at large most bc a colored citizen. In the Seuate the chief bill discussed was the Timmerman substitute for the Childs bill. Senator Buist raised the point of order that the substitute was directly opposed to the Childs bill, ard if the Senate should pass it a bill would be adopted as coming from the Home which had not received three readings. The Chair did uot sustain the point, but said it was a matter for the Senate i to decide. Mr. Timmerman made a long agu- J meut in favor of his substitute, but its consideration was further postpooed until to-night. Up to the present time ninety actp have been ratified, while there are some two hundred more awaiting action There has been no act passed that changed any important law in any re? spect and the measures of reform so loudly promised the people have up to date failed to materialize an3 this if the last sesvion of the preseot House. Only two more working days remain and the record up date is zero. It will be that way when the gavel falls for the last time in the life of this Legislature. Shiloh Items. SHILOH, S. C., Dec. 16, 1891. Miss Sallie Goodman and Mr. William Keels were united in wedlock this afternoon. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Gleaton. The wedding dinner will be served at the residence of the bridegroom to-mor? row. We wish them much happiness and a prosperous life together. Rev. Mr. Clyde will be our minister for the next twelve months. If a young man wishes to get married, it will be well for him to come to Shiloh, and call on some young lady twice, and the next news he hears, will be that he soon is to he mar? ried. It is very strange that Shiloh is fav? ored with so many prophets. The old adage is, " All the old prophets are dead, and the young one3 will lie." Miss Fancie Player is speaking of spending Christmas io Shiloh, and of course Mr. C. B. -anticipates a royal good time. AGRICOLA.

Of the whole number, includ? ing those of Maryland itself, only eleven have a larger number than Davidson College, and no institution south of Va., has more than half as many. The success of the Davidson men while theie is shown by the fact that of the 12 Honorary Scholarships awarded to graduates from the Colleges and Universities of Va. and N. C., Davidson holds twice as many as any other institution in the two states, except Washington and Lee Uni? versity. - - -? Notice to Advertisers.

It is neither' pleasant nor profiable to hear people constantly coughing when they could be easily cured by a 25 cent bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Mr. J. Lane, general manager Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad, says: ''I was entirely relieved of headache by Bradycrotine in fifteen minutes. It is the only thing that relieves me after the pain commences." ?gag_?-? r, igawawaPBBnwagB ajJUBaaaBag-i THE MARKETS. SUMTER, S. C., Dec. 23, 1891.
