The booming of cannon, the magni6-

rahs OF the people settle the fact that
Greenwood County demands q place
on the map of South Carolina the
wishes Of the people have been de-
clared SO emphatically in favor of
creating the new county that no trick
can defeat it. The total vote from Abb
bevilie gives "a to So; Edgefieid 255 to

The new county will be one OF the
most prosperous and progressive in
the State and will hold its own with
any community in the South.
Greenwood County has more rail-
roads than any other in the up country
and Greenwood court house is one of
the most advanced municipalities in
the State. In fact it challenges any
community on equal footing. 1t is an
important point for the Seaboard Air
Line. the Southern and the Charleston

Besides splendid railroad facilities
Greenwood has two banks and two cot.

hotels, the equal Of any in the VI

community is of a very high average
OF Intelligence and religion.
Last but not least, it has q live, en-
terprising county paper, the Green
wood Journal, edited by Messrs. +, NJ
Allen and J. l.. Carr.
Greenwood is also a big iobbinp cen
tire for a large jobbing trade, and it i.
one OF the most important inland cot
ton markets in this section.
Agriculturally, the country is not tt

Than Was Mcant to be Found In

The drummer always brings the
latest trick. Here it is:
Take a spool of white bastine cotton,
Drop.it into your inside coat poke
and, threading q needle with it, pass
it UP through the shoulder of your
coat. Leave the end an inch or SC
long on the outside Of your coat and
take off the needle. Four men out OF
five will try to pick hat whole thread
OF your shoulder, and will pull on the
spool until it actually does seem as
though your clothes are all hastings.

On a cold December evening
rs l wandered through the street
or q busting, busy city,
Where the sound of passing feet
Rang out on the frozen pavement
AS the surging crowds went by,
fastening TO escap the snow storm
Gathering DER the wintry sky;
Suddenly L saw a picture,
One l never can forget,
IT'S hung upon the wall Of memory
In jewelled case l see it yet.
Framed within a lighted window
Stands tonight a lovely boy,
Clad in suit of richest velvet,
His fair face radiant with JOY.
Curls h a form a golden aureole
Round a brow as white as snow,
Eyes as blue as dew-gemmed ~violets,
On cheek and lip a roseate glow.
Peering through the wintry darkness
Listening as the cold wind blows,
See him clasp his hands in gladness
AS he shouts, hurrah it snows!"
Now | know that golden visions
Or the coming morrow bright
Are gliding, one by one, before him,
Filling him with wild delight.
He hears the silver bells sweet tinkle,
The fur-lined sleigh, the dashing team,
All now before his mental vision
Are passing like n lovely dream.
Again, as from the window turning

With clasped hands, Oh hear him or,
