When his health poor he was advised by his otl1 Physicians to give up his Practice.

He was even warned by bat ifc continuation would Certainly hasten his death. The an: of Dr. DoyJe was typical of the man who ever holds his chosen work and sacredly above all sordid and selush motive: "I-cannot 'up'jny life's work" said he, "I must help it is my call, my duty, and whatever ther cost I will worlc on to the end." Too soon', alas, the end came and physician died nobly in the sweet cause of doing good.

WHY (NEWSPAPERS -FAILED The reason the newspaper graveyard is so full is shown by an editor who has been investigating the cause of the 'high mortality.

He figures out that in 9 07 wages were at 100. In 1914, they had advanced to 178, and in the figure was 393. Newsprint from ,100 jumped 177 in 1914, and to 623 in 1920. 'Newspaper postage, which cost the normal 100 in 1907, was 147 in 1914, and 337 in 1921. Ink was 100 in 1907 ,200 in 1014, and today stands at 331.

expense advanced' from 100 in 1907 ito 120 in 1924, and 241 in 1921. Miscellaneous expenses went from 100 in 1907 to 125 in 1914, and to 244 in 3921. By taking average of all newspaper costs, it was found that while the average or index number- of 1907 was 100 in 1914 it was 159 and in 1921 it reached the high mark of 411.

In his last letter addressed to the Governors of Georgia and South Carolina, concerning the "mob" entering Augusta from this State, Judge Henry Hammod states -that- there never was "parallel case." We wonder if the indignant Georgia(?) Judge ever heard of'Henry Ruffin the negro whom tbe Georgia mob sought for the killing of two constables in Georgia? Well, the people of Aiken heard of him, and, 'to let a little secret go adrift, he was their guest and Wie County of Aiken housed and fed him in the Aiken jail safe from the howling mob of Georgia for over two weeks! There you are, now, the Gospel truth.

B.uffln was brought over to Aiken by the officials of Augusta away from the seething, mad mob of Georgia and protected in South Carolina from the mob nnJ i's rule. And many of the mob came over to Aiken, too, in search of Ruffin, but instead of "runniug" the prisoner Sheriff Howard placed him in jail under the name of "Williams" amr told "nobody nothing" about it. The van guard of the GeorgK irjob numbered 30 and scattered all through the streets of Aiken, ssnrt- a half dozen to Jailor John Vernon, who denied the negro's presaucc Jn the Aiken jail.

By Dr. P. J. McLean. the children, and the big folks as well know that prayer of child- I Lay Me Down To Sleep!" But there is another prayer for children; one of such truth, sweetness and beauty, that I feel every mother should teach it to her little folks, so.

that in the evening bout, when the children kneel at earth's holiest Altar, a mother's knee, they might give voice to its truth, and feel its beauty and blessing. Then too; that which makes deep impress upon the soul of a child abides through all the years with their intermingled sunshine and shadow. "Jesus, tender me; Bless thy little lamb to-night; Through the Thou nenr me; Keep me safe till All this day Thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care: Thou warmed me, clothed and fed me; Listen to my evening prayer: Let my sins be All forgiven; Bless the friends I love so well: Take us all at last to'heaven, Happy there with Thee to dwell." Mary Duncan. fifteen months old child taken ill and despite the fact th child had the very best -attention its spirit was taken back to the Heavenly Father who gave it. And today just one week later their 22 year old daughter, a young lady of an exceptional sweet disposition will be buried.

The Langley Memorial school will open on September the 12th. The trustees of the school were exceptionally fortunate in securing the services of teachers who 1 realize the importance of their high ciclling and whose sole aim is to do efficient work. We are fortunate in having one of the best equiped school buildings in the county, the funds having been donated as a memorial for Mr. Langley, the founder of the town.

Our appreciation is also extended to the present officials of tbe Langley M'f'g. Co. whose financial aid and personal interest in the efficiency of the school has made it possible for us to secure only first-class teachers. And with this co-operation assured we feel safe in saying that we- have- a school second to none in the county. Prof.

J. W. Tanner, who during his two years teaching with us has fully demonstrated his ability as a manager of teachers, will have charge of the school. He will be ably assisted by the following named teachers: Miss Cleora Toole, Mvas Louise Evans, Miss Eva Adams, Miss Pearl Gordan, Miss Martha Wicker, Miss Mary Griggs. He advises us that he is in need of one more -teacher to complete the list.

"The town of Langley is again assuming that cheerful aspect for which it was always noted, owing to the fact that the officials of the Langley Mills are putting the machinery in operation as East as the circumstances will admit. They hope to soon be able to operate all the machinery in both mills. R. D. GLOVERVHULF, Cor.

French peasant brushes against a stranger in the street or on the road, he touches his hat in apology. This sensitiveness to the rights of others Is not" found everywhere else in the world. In fa.ct the tendency to hustle and bustle, to push others out of the way, has been growing of late nearly everywhere. Gilbert Franheu, the novelist, is so a-ritated by what he calls the bad manners of the day'that he regrets the good old days when everybody carried some sort of weapon and was ready to use it, if offended. Undoubtedly a man with a sword who was not inclined to tight would be careful about knocking against another who was similarly armed.

The Chinese have a proverb that "The fear of death is the beginning of discipline." If this is true, there must be something, in the theory that when people gave up wearing rapiers and they undisciplined and less. In the same way, though the use of arms tended to cheapen human life and to encourage bragging and bullying, dueling and brawling, it also effect on manners. In the wild Western "movies" politeness and "guns" go together and, as a row is settled offhand, without waiting for the sheriff with his star, everybody Is very careful not to "start anything." If a man may be insolent, selfish or unehivalrous any personal risk, there is afclfence that he may go through life like a bull In a china shop. But when everybody attended to his own quarrels, It was overdone, and false standards of "honor" were set ap as Jn the case of dueling of certain European armies-. It is probably better to rely on gpllcennin and the law when we suffer an injury.

On the'other hand, It Is pointed out by Mr. Franheu and the like that the law is a cannon that It takes many months to load. Besides, the law does not bother about trifles, such as somebody's feelings. Actual Injury must Good manners may he a trifle. But they have lot to do with happiness.

And happiness is no trifle. (Copyright.)
