This is a Luoky Thirteen The mothers of some of tbe Graded School children ere wrought up and exercised in mind over a communication recently received from Superintendent Ed xunds, and tbey do not k.iow what to do in the emergency. Tbey are not superstitious and have no fears wf tbe fateful number 13, but still tbey do not k'iow how to arrange for their children to arrive at the school house exactly at 11 13 a. m?neither sootier nor later. If little boys and little girls coold oniy bft fitted with some sort of alarm clock arrangement tbe matter would be very much simplified, for tbea the little tots could be wound up every morning aod set to reach tho school grounds precisely at 11 13 a.m. But m this scheme is irxpracticable, there ia no solution io view, and tbe writer can; ot offer a suggestion. A newspaper man cannot solve all vexed ques? tions submitted to bim, and ibia ia ono of the times he fails The best that can be done ia to adviae the rxothers in distrees to forgot all they have ever heard about tbe unlucky 13, and impress upon the \ 1 -a3 of their off? springs that tbeir luck lies in arriving on the school grounds at 11 13 precisely by tbeir watches, wbicb ibould Dot vary from tbe f standard time set by ibe citv tlotl Tbe communication th*t hau cauted tbe mothers so much anxiety reads as follows : "Please see hereafter thst your child leaves home just in time to reach the school hou9e by 11.13 Tbe mrmbeis of the Second Grade and Second Division have been leaving borce too soon, and consequently tbey bave either reached the grounds loo socn or bave bad to stand 00 corners until about 11 o'clock.

Io addition totbeamuse* sent that its pleasantry affords us informa? tion gives me tho opportunity of coming to tbe assistance of loose mothers "wbo are wrought op and exercised in mind." Permit me to say. first, that ibis notice was not intended to be complete in itself; but each child, that received one, was giveo a full explanation of its meaning As is well known to tbe patrons of tbe school, the members of the Second Division of tbe First Grade nnd of tbe Second Grade are not due at tbe school building, until the gong sounds after ibe first recess, and tbev bave been frequently rtquested not to come too soon ; for, when tbey do, they either dia? tom those, who are busy, by tbe noise tbey make while playing or tbey congregate on tbe corners while waiting for tbe bell to sound for tbe first recess Tbe ot j.rt of this notice wss explained to tbe children, wbichjwas that they should try to leave borne so as to reach the school grounds promptly at 11:13 : if not, certainly not later than 11:13 or earlier than 11. This is tbe meaning of the notice that I sent to the parents and I am gUd that I have been given so early an opportuuity to remove any misunderstanding concerning it. Oae word before closing : If our children can be impressed with tbe idea of the value of a miou'.e, tbe next generation will save many hours in being punctual at all appoint? ments. S H Edmunds.

Mr Editor : I bad the pleasure cf at'erd ing Ibt Y M. C. A. State Convention which was held in Greer wood February 8-11 If in my contact with new places and people I have absorbed anvthing of interest, I want to be generous and "p*es it along." Upon arrival in Greenwood we were taken io charge by the reception committee, com? posed of representative citizens, and escorted to 'he hotel Oregon, where our narLes were registered in tho Y. M.C A register. We received a card after signing our name, which introduced us to our host. It was my plea? sure to be assigned to the delightful borne of [>r Eptiof, who prored to be a true South ern host ; and the hours spent in bia home were most enj)yuble. Tho Convention was ?. fended by bright yonng men from all sections of the Sr?te? abcut 125 teing pruttnt?and it was truly inrpirin? to touch eltowa witb thta body of men, who had como together for but one pu. pose, i e , to consider what they could do for the spiritual elevation of the great masj of young men of South Caiohna. There is a magnetism in any body of men, but when tbe body 19 made up of Christian men this power is iocreased two-To'd, end no one can come in touch witb an aesemolage of this character without absorbing good, without partaking of the life of the body. One hun? dred men, together for three daye, ao3 no oaths pollute their Mos, no vulgarisms in? dulged in, no unjust criticisms passed, no frowned brows, no UD3eemly conduct, noth? ing to mar tbe bngbtuess of the picture, it is a benediction to any teople to have this ooventioo como within their gates, and a benediction t j any man to be one of tbe bedy, rfhe ?eesioo9 of the Convention were held io tbe Presbyterian Church, (a beintiful buiidieg, and au hot.or to its people) and were barmonioue, i?structive and erterMio ing. The addresses by the visiio-s were strong and forcible nod commanded the closest atten'ion. Keporta from the various aeso. iutior.B showed that there wu9 a forward movement in all linos, and tbat tbe work be ng done is oiore appreciated than ever before The in? creased numt cr of college associations w a toted with pleasure A great work is being done among tbe coiiuga boys, aod must te productive of greai. good Tbe Convention bas been pronounced by proccioeot association officials the most suc? cessful one yet held io the State Much of tbe success was due to tbe energetic efforts of State Secretary Knebul Greer.wood's peoole were not lacking in hospitality, iu fact it seemed tbat they vied witb each other io their efforts to entertain tbe young men. Greeowood is one of tbe hustling up-coun? try towns, and is destiued to be a centre of indostnal activity, baviog natural advan? tages which tew towns possess, backed up by citizans wbo are cot afraid to put their money into enterprises tbat will benefit tbe towns. Her court bou90 is a beaotifol one, ber churches are more beautiful, no town io ine State belog superior to ber io this par ticolar, while the bum of tbe spindles in tbe two large cotton factories can be beard tbe live long day The waterworks end electric lights are owned by the towo and are suc? cessfully operated. The town is Glied with enterprises of lesser importance, that could be enumerated but I nr a conclude. I was much impr -sed with tbe town and its citizens, a: d to will everyone be wbo sets fool within her borders. A G Flowers.
