Patrick inspected the Graded School Military Company Friday afternoon, and to say that he was surprised at the showing the youthful militiamen made is to put it mildly. The boys, who have never bad the advantage enjoyed by cadets of military school, of having a West Pointer as commandant, bot have at? tained exceptional proficiency in the manual of arms and in Se?d evolutions by their own unaided efforts, did EO well that Col. Patrick not only com? plimented them very bi g h ly, but went even further and stated that the Graded School Company was, with possibly one exception, the best drill? ed company in the State. This was, indeed, a hieb compliment, and the boys have a right to teel grati?ed. An j immense crowd witnessed the inspec- j tion, the Mon omen tal square bein? i thronged with old and yon np, the j C)mbined attractions-the inspection and the first open air coticen of the season by the Second Regiment Rand j -serving to bring out everybody.

The life and growth ol' wool und hair are not identical with the life of the body, but they will grow after thc death of the animal in vrhose skin they have taker root. The root of the hair exudes the hair pu'p, which is formed luto cells containing the pigment whick gives color to the hair itself. Each row of these cells forms a ring. As the rings of cells are pushed away from the skin Ly the giving out of fresh pulp from the roots the cells dry. form' ing scales which curiously resemble miniature tish scales. A. hair is simply a long tub?' formed of these rings into a sort of sheath. These "saw teeth," which the older writers mention as ho? ing one of the characteristics of the humnn hair, are formed by rings of these dried up cells, vrhich are very fine and closely set. Goat's ha r has a more rapid growth and longer rolls, so that It is less regu? lar and straight than that of the hu? man species; consequently it shows lit? tle of the toothlike edge. The nair of the sheep of the common sort is irreg? ular, with v. tendency to cur! or wave, but. unlike that of the goat, shows marked toothliko edg<?s. Wool has barbed pro.octions along the .'hairs," which is one of its distinguishing pe? culiarities. The "wooP of the negro is really hair, but is less perfect than straight hair. The same may be said cf "kinky" hair in the white races. THE WOMAN'S AUXILIARY. The Womans Auxiliary of the Dio? cese of South Carolina will meet at 10 o'clock this morning in the Church of the Holy Comforter.

To the Sunday School Workers of Sum? ter County. Mr. Editor: With your permsision I would like to call the attention of Sunday School workers in our county to the work that i? being done by the State Sunday School Convention. It was my good fortune to attend the meeting in Columbia last week. The committee on program were very hap? py in their choice of subjects and speakers : and- one could hardly be so well posted on tbe work that be would not receive helpful suggestions. When we realize that the Sunday school is the nursery of the church : that it un? dertakes to mould the plastic mind of childhood and turn it into the right road to fill it with the truths of God's Holy Word, by causing it to as? similate as much as possible the very words of the Bible : and that it is not intendedjto take tho place of the pul? pit, but to prepare the mind and j hearts for gotting the mest out of the preached word ; we can see the im portance'of this *work and the great good that will follow the very best effort for its efficient performance. As conducted in Columbia the con? vention is a normal school in Sunday school work. The State Convention through its executive committee is prepared this year to send some of the best Sunday school workers to the county contentions. I would suggest that our county might find it advan? tageous to organize and avail our? selves of. this opportunity for normal! school training in Sunday school work. Of cours9 no great deal of ac? tual training can be compressed into two or tbre9 days time: but sugges? tions will oe made, ideas advanced plans arranged that will keep the earnest student busy fer sometime, and unless we have already reached perfecion, wMch I do not think any of us will claim, there will be im? provement all alon? the line. We sometimes hear of the decadence of the pulpit. Is it not barely possi? ble that there is a decadence cf the pew? Good listeners do much to aid the speaker. Would not the pews be filled with better listeners if their minds and hearts were trained in the family and day schcol, and Sunday school in which one of the speakers in Columbia called the Bible, "the greatest of all the classics? The la? mentable ignorance of the Bible on tha part of a large percentage of the school children as shown by examina? tion papers co which the speaker re? ferred, should cause all thoughtful persons grave concern. With no nigher aim than good citizenship we should not sit idly down and leave it to the pulpit and press to correct this state of affairs. When to this is add ed the salvation of immortal souls, we | should be up and doing while it is day for the night cometh when no man can work. If this meets the approval of any of onr Sunday school workers I will be tilad to hear from them, all of those \N ho think good can come out of cou- ! certed effort, and we will try to ar? range with the State Executive Com? mittee for help during the coming summer.
