* miles to lie the most popular objec

gather there over a radius of many
miles. Generally they remain for half
hour or such a matter; hut often for
several hour . the limit being regulat

of finding some one on the spot who
is ahle and willing to review *he dif
ferent points of interest such as the
position occupied by the British troops
the strategy of the battle and out
standing incidents connected therew ith
such as the death of Colonels Fergu
son and Williams, the hanging of the
more obnoxious tories and other
events. Flowers placed on the grave
of Colonel Ferguson by some visitor,
though badly withered, still testify to
sentiments which, perhaps, could be
best explained by the person who ren
dered the tribute. The roads to the
mountain from whatever direction are
in very good shape.

Support the Teacher.
Fountain Inn Tribune.
There are approximately eight
hundred thousand school teachers in
the United States, not including su
pervisors and principals.
Here are eight hundred thousand
opportunities for service that can not
be measured in ordinary terms, if they
are appreciated.
Teachers who live up to their pos
sibilities do more than teach children
facts that may be learned from books.
They teaeh them to appreciate the
good things in life; tolerance for
others; that joy conies not from sel
fish pursuits, but the making others
happy, and that the well-rounded man
or woman is not self-centered.
Though they.have a powerful in
fluence over children, school teachers
cannot accomplish the results most to
he desired without the aid of parents
providing the proper environment at
home.
Every community is proud of its
school and its hoys and girls. The
measure in which their lives rehound
the glory of their home community
depends upon the support which the
teachers receive.
Back them up for results that
count in later years.
A N'cw Yorker's Will.
Wall Street Journal.

The following is an excerpt from
the will of a Wall Street man,
which has been recently probated in
the New York courts: s
“To my wife, I leave her lover and I
the knowledge that I wasn't the fool j
she thought I was.
“To my son, I leave the pleasure i
of earning a living. For thirty-five
years he has thought that the pleas
ure was all mine. He was mistaken.
“To my daughter. I leave $100,000.
She will need it. The only piece of j
business her husband ever did was to j
marry her.
“To my valet. I leave the clothes
that he has been stealing from me re
gularly for the past 10 years. Also my
fur coat that he wore last winter when
I was in Palm Beach.
"To my chauffer, I leave my ears.
He almost ruined them and I want
him to have the satisfaction of finish
ing the job.”
No, we don’t think the republicans
put anything over on us; they mere
ly put something under us and ex
ploded it.—Columbia Record.

< 01 SIN .SHOOTS COUSIN
WHEN INDIANS USE GUNS
Lumberton, Drc. 1.—Emory Ham
mond, Indian, is at tbo point of death
and his first cousin, Henry Hammond,
is in jail here as the result of a gun
battle this afternoon at the home of
the latter about eight miles north of
here. Henry Hammond is said to have
fired three shots with a shot gun at
Emory, each shot taking effect. He
then picked up his wounded body and
brought him to the Raker sanatorium
here.and later gave up to Sheriff R. E.
l.ewis. Ho claims that Emory came
to his home and began quarreling
about the way Henry had theat
< d him in helping his wife to leave
homo. After a few words, it is alleged,
Emory fired at Henry, and it was
while Emory was preparing to shoot
the second time that Henry fired. The
shot from Emory’s gun did not take
effect.
Suppose This Were Your Last Day.
A woman once asked Mr. Wesley,
“Supposing that you knew that you
were to die at 12 o’clock tomorrow
light, how would you spend the in
tervening time?” “How, madam,” he
replied. “Why, just as I intend to
spend it now. I should preach this ev
ening at Gloucester, and again at five
tomorrow morning; after that I
hould ride to Tewksbury, preach in
the afternoon and meet the societies
in the evening. I should then repair
to friend Martin's house, who expects
to entertain me, converse and pray
with the family as usual, retire to my
room at 10 o’clock, commend myself
to my Heavenly Father, lie down to
rest, and wake un in glory." Nothing
could he more beautiful than Wesley’s
simple faith and noble consecration.
If you had but one day left how would
you spend it ?—Selected.

A safety slogan seen on a plate
highway—“Our roads are wide and
smooth while sonic motorists arc nar
row and rough.”
Aiitninobilists often have smart say
ing- pasted on t ho backs of them and
sometimes, suggestions are given to
the motorist who is behind. One of the
best of these seen in some time was
noticed on the rear window of a coupe
the other day: “Speed on, You Won’t
I lie But once.”
Looks like the roads will have to
bo widened so automobiles can get
past passenger busses.
History is a great comfort. After
reading it, we still have sortie hope for
the present generation.
Many a man who thinks he ought to
be the fullback on the team would only
be a drawback.
Experience is a valuable teacher,
providing you don’t insist on grading
the examination papers.
Strange that the men who pay no
taxes are the ones who complain the
most about high taxes. .
If the pessimist were all as bad off
as they think they are, this would be
a fine old world.
All too often it happens that a man
is not known hy the company he keeps
until he drops o\j{ of sight.
