"A good story is told of a Connect i
cut parson. His country parish raised
his salary from $500 to s4O0. The good
man objected for three reasons
First" said he, "because you can't
afford to give me more than $500.
Second, because my preaching isn't
worth more than that.

Total cost for one acre......$S %

The probable yield of that acre would
be twelve bushels, the cost of which
would be only 6S cents a bushel. Is that
dearer than buying flour at 5000 a barrel
cash?
Another objection farmers make to
raising wheat is that the mills have all
run down and they cannot make -four fit
to eat. That complaint serves as an ex-
cuse for laziness. We used some flour
made at Whites mill from wheat not
we'll dried, and it was first class. Noah
Bell brought us sack of "middlings" for
which the children cried after they got a
taste of the delicious batter cakes and
'black bread" as they called it. A lady
from Florida after trying Bells enid
dlings" left an order for sack to be ship.
ped to her home. Captain Isaac Padgett
left some of his flour at our door last
week and it is q beautiful cream color,
and the taste is better than the whitest
patent ever made. There are other good
mills in the County, and if you will
make the wheat they will all be put in
frst-class order.-Spartanburg Spartan.

Be Willing to Learn.

A man progresses just as long as he
is willing to learn but progression
ceases whenever he reaches that point
where he places his knowledge in the bal
ance against that ofother men. Strange
as it may appear, there are good many
lust such men in this world. Some can.
not be taught anything, it does not mat
ter to what branch of human knowledge
it belongs. Others are perfect in bat
one thing, aud that relates to the bust
ness they follow. It is here that this
egotistical importance works the most
mischief for il always cripples mans
usefulness in life.
There is another class of people who
will accept knowledge only from those
whom they acknowledge as superiors.
They must know the source ofevery item
of information, and it is rejected as er.
ror, or accepted as truth, accordingly
They never think reason or experiment
for themselves, and hence their belief
and practice exibit strange mixture of
the practicable and impracticable, OF
truth aud error.
The truly progressive class accept
the truth wherever they find it and re-
iect nothing because of its source. A hint
dropped from the beggar's lips is just as
valuable as though it came from the roy
atty itself. These are the men who do
not think, reason and experiment tor
themselves. Like the miners, it is gold
they are after, and they never reject it
because it is associated with dross and
dirt but 60 resolutely to.work to separate
the pure from the impure, retaining only
the former.
We heard prominent agriculturist say
in an address, that no class of people
were so unwilling to learn of others, as
farmers. We don't believe it. Farm.
ers are like other men in this respect
no better or no worse. There is e large
class of them, however, who have too
much confidence in their own methods,
drawn from their own experience alcne,
and can see little merit in other mems
methods. Experience is a good school,
but q man cheats himself most outrage
ously when he imagiues that his expe-
rience alone is all that he needs on the
farm. Empiricism is as applicable to
the farmer as it is to the doctor, and one
who practices it is just as much o quack
as the other
A farmer with broad, liberal views OF
his occupation, whose eyes and ears are
always open willing to accept and use
every fact that comes to him, no matter
from what source, is h. man to be admired
and respected, wherever you find him.
He stands in delightful contrast to the
man who blindly and obstinately refuses
all aid and SCOTS at all authority which
conflicts with his methods, or contradlcts
his opinions Ohio Farmer.

Miss Virginia Norris will teach at

deserves it. The school house in which
she is to teach is not quite large enough,

carried from one side of the ravines to
the other in slings hung to cable wire
stretched across at the ravines to the
summit. There is one place where there
are twenty tunnels in fifteen miles. At
another the zig-zags Of five parallel lines
are visible from one point, and none of
them are more than 500 feet apart. The
highest level of this railroad is 1868
feet above the sea, which is only 1876 feet
lower than the top of Mont Blanc, and
this elevation is accomplished by au
ascent of seventy one miles.
Buckle, the historian, doubted whether
the continent of South America could
ever sustain dense population, because,
as he remarked, the forces of nature and
the magnitude of natural objects were too
great to be made observient to human
uses. The rivers were too wide, the for
ests too dense, the mountains too high
and precipitous, the growths too rank,
the plains loo extensive for man to crap
pie with and turn to account. But the
great historian reckoned without con-
sulting the yankee engineer, who is
about to render the whole continent of
South America as accessible to the trav.
eler and the emigrant as North America.
For it is to be observed that the execu-
tion of difficult works prepares the way
for greater, and even renders them COM
paratively easy. The second tunnel
through the Alps cost about halfthe toll,
time and expense that the first did, be-
cause in the second they used from the
start all the machines which had been
invented in excavating the first. One
single boring machine trebled the rate Of
progress. There is no range of noun
| tains on the globe which our engineers
could not traverse by railroad.
How, then, shall we answer the ques'
| ton as to the seven wonders of the pres
ent world? IF we confne our view to
the works of the engineer, we might.

Cold weather is coming and do not be
more neglecLful of the children than of
the COWS aud horses. Fix the school
houses and make them comfortable be-
fore the stables and COW stalls are repair
ed. This may seem to some unnecessary,
but it is fact that some horses have
better buildings in which to winter than
some school children have in which to
study, and yet good results are expect
ed. We hope to see presented to every
boy and girl in this County the opportu-
nifty to get a common school education,
without too much suffering from cold and

There were enrolled iu the public
schools of Anderson County this year
over $500. This number only gave an
average attendance of about $500.
Teachers think of this Parents think Of
this. A little more than one.third OF
the time of the school children of An.
derson County has been lost. 1t must
needs be that some will be lost, but there
need not be one-third of the time. WhaL
is the result? A six months school
only give the result of what four
months school should give. Who is re-.
sponsible for such state of affairs? 1t
is. by Titles that all the great misfor.
tunes come upon us. A day at time is
the way this loss is brought about. One
day will not make any difference, so say
some parents, and at the end of the year,
this one day at time make up month
or more. The absence from school works
more hardships' than the mere loss of q
day to the whole class and the teacher.
Parents give us next year large average
attendance, which must be secured by a
more regular attendance.

Sow Wheat,

There is nothing the matter with the
seasons and the lands of the Piedmont
section when it comes to raising wheat.
In the old days before the war small far
msrs made twice enough to supply their
own wants and -four was hauled from our
mills to Augusta and Columbia. People
living in the towns could get supply of
-four from any wheat mill in the country.
Seed wheat was always abundant. Occa.
sionally partial failure would occur for
the varieties were generally late.
Fresh lands were generally sown then
and the wheat was put in early 80 that
good stand was secured before the freezes
came. Now the best land is saved for
cotton. Wheat is generally put of in
some odd corner and plowed in late in
December without preparation and often
without manure. About half the years
partial failure follows as it ought to do.
We cannot hope to equal the big yields
of the Shenandoah Valley or the prairies
of the Northwest, but by sowing good
land in time we may expect twelve to
twenty bushels to the acre.
Our farmers should SOW wheat literally
this year. The small amount for sale in
the County is worth s1.25 bushel. Fair
-four is retailing at $500 barrel. Eu--
rope is demanding large quantities of
American grain. Many persons believe
that wheat will 60 to $3.50 bushel.
That would carry flour to $500 q barrel.
Can Sparlanburg farmers afford to pay
that when their own lands will produce
wheat at less than $1.00 bushel?
There are thousands of acres of idle land
that would make good wheat if properly
prepared.
Ofcourse there are many farmers who
say that it will not pay to raise wheat.
The same ground planted in cotton will
buy twice the flour that acre will make.
Such farmers generally buy their flour
on liens. Take one acre and see how
