Assistant Adjutant and Inspector
General John M. 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

T7ooI end Hair.
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?

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. Sincerelv,
