of Education.
The Greenwood Journal of last week
speaks of a dozen youn? men roared
near Cokeabury and among them men
tions the Smiths, eocs of the late
James Smith and brothers of Alexis J.
^aaith of Mountvllle. The lattsr, by
the way, although the War prevented
him from obtaining the advantages
that his younger brothers afterwards
had, is a man of uncommon strength of
mind and thoroughly informed. In na
tive endowments, he is doubtless the
equal of his gifted brothers. Here is
what The Journal says:
In grouping these men, ts a listener
hoard the conversation, the three
Smith brothers were the first men
tioned. These young men, Charles F.,
Landon F. and James P, Smith are
graduates of Wofford College and all
three have distinguished themselves
in literary pursuits. Cha-les F. Smith
is chief professor of Greek in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and as an author

among the foremost in tho country.
He taught his first school in tho town
of Greenwood, Landon F. Smith is
president of tho Southwestern Univer
sity, Texas. James P. is a member of
the faculty of Loland-Stinford Uni
versity, of California, and is instructor
in matters relating to the science of

Health.
After an illness covering a period of
five or six years, Mr. Jarnos M. Hud

citizen of the county, passed away last
Friday night at hl9 home, throe miles
South of the city. Mr. Hudgens mar

For Their Stomach*' Sake.
Sunday school treats must come round
offener in England than In the United
States, for the dean of llrlstol has in
cluded In his book, "Odds and Ends,"
many stories of the hold of such fes
tivities on the juvenile heart nnd stom
ach.
The hand of a small boy wavered for
an Instant over a plate of eakes before
ho took one. "Thanks," ho said, ntter
his momentary hesitation, "I'm sure I
can manage it if 1 stand up."
Another boy, still smaller, who had
stuffed systematically, at last turned
to his mother and sighed: "Carry me
home, mother; but, oh, don't bend mo!"
The average boy in Yorkshire knows
why he attends these feasts and does
not relish being furnished forth scan
tily. A solicitous curate approached one
who was glowering mysteriously, "llnve
you had a good tea?" the curate asked.
"No," said the boy, In an aggrieved
tone, laying Ids hand on his diaphragm.
"It don't, hurt mo yet."

A schoolboy In Jewell City, Mo., was
nsslgned to prepare on essay on the
BUbJect of "Ducks," and this Is what
ho wrote: "Tho duck Is a low, heavy
set bird, composed mostly of meat and
feathers. lie is a mighty poor singer,
having a -hoarse voice caused by get
ting so many frogs in his neck. Ho
likes tho wnter and carries a toy bal
loon in his stomach to keep him from
sinking. The duck has only two legs,
and they nro set so far back on his
running gears by nature that she came
purty near missing his body. Some
ducks when they get big havo curls
on their tolls nnd are called drakes.
Drakes don't have to set or hntch, but
Just loaf, go swimming and eat. If I
was to be h duck, I'd rather be a drnko
every time."

"I don't understand," said Mrs.
Youngmother, "why it is that baby
won't go to sleep. Here I hnve been
silting nnd singing to him for the last
hour, and yet he keeps crying nnd
seems Just as wide awake as over."
"Well," said her husband thoughtful
ly, "I don't know, of course, nnd per
haps I am wrong, but It may bo thnt
baby has a musical ear."
Where Man and Dob* Differ,
"Pedigree lu a dog makes him valu

"Certainly."

MILLIONAIRE'S POOR STOMACH.
The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example of
the evil attondant on the possession of
great wealth. Hut millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far more
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digofttion are rampant among these
people, and they suffer far worse tor
tures than the millionaire unless they
avail themselves of a standard medi
cine like Green's August Flower,
whieh has heen a favorite house-hold
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-five years. August Fower
rouses the torpid liver, thus oreatlng
apputito and insuring perfect diges

system and makes life worth living,

The Prudential In 1008.
During last year Tho Prudential

founded, placing no less than $203,000
0C0 of new Insurance, and bringing the
total amount of insurance now In force
up to $031,000,000.
Tho result attests Its popularity, and
such figures have not been equaled by
any other company when of the same
age as the Prudential, nor by The Pru
dential Itself In any former yoars.
The causes which have brought
about such exceptional success appar
