GREEN GATES AN ANALYSIS OF
FOOLISHNESS. BY Mrs 4. M. Z.

EOOl4lSI1N EcD. by MI IA. NA. ~
Meredith Johanna Staats), author
Of Drumsticks, etc. Appleton q Co.
This story of today furnishes pictures
of Long Island country-house and hunt
ing life, and of social incidents in New
York. The tale exhibits an originality
and a peculiar pathos which VIII enlist
the interest of the average reader. 1t Is
one of the handsomest books of the
month, and charmingly printed. 1t is
hard to analyze it, for it is so full of
humor and banter, combined with the
very hardest of hard sense and practi-
cal wisdom. Not a little real philosophy
blends with it's ripping stream of COM
ment and the reader will have no need
of guide to go before and explore the
social realms traversed.
1t is American, and New York Knick-
erbocker Americarism at that. 1t is not
a wholly profitable study it may be,
but it is excellent summer reading.

At Spartanburg Yesterday Judge Earle
said: He has Dever been clasSed as q Re
former, and it would be false for him to so
saw vet there are some who are trying to
get votes for Earle by claiming him to be
Reformer.
As our United States Senator is to be
voted for in the primary and afterwards
elected bv the members Of the General AS
sembly, we suggest that at the county cam
paicn meetings each candidate be required
to state whether be favors Evans. Earle, or
Duncan. This was done in the race be-
tween Tillman and Butler and it should be
done in this race. The people have right
to know.
Considerable fault was found with the
executive committee for not providing
meeting at Doct Swamp and ForessoC
and IN Justice to the committee we will
state that the representatives from those
two points did not think that the meetings
were necessary nor desirable. However. 1t
has been arranged to have meeting at the
school house near Duties store on next
Friday and at Foreston on the Oath inst.
All the candidates are expected to be at
these two meetings.
For writing paper. pens and ink, at the
lowest prices. 60 to Brockinton's.
We understand that candidate is going
about saving that the editor Of the Times
viii have man at each box to defeat him.
There is no truth in the statement what
ever, and it is only told to plead for votes
for the man telling it. The editor Of the
Times is attending to his own business and
is not worrying himself about candidates
who have no merit. He has an abiding
faith in the people and whoever a majority
may select will suit him, but he IS satisfied
that they will not send man to the Legis-
lature who cen do them no good and be-
come an eyesore to the members OF that
body.
For that torpid liver try "Thedford's
Black Draught" at Brockinton's.
We are not supporting in this paper
any candidate for county Office, therefore
we most positively will not publish anony
nous communications affecting any of the
gentlemen now before the people. This
we do in a spirit of fairness as we see it.
We propose, as al individual. to exercise
the right of free white man and vote for
and support who we please, it matters not
whom it displeases. Those candidates not
receiving our individual support have no
more right to get mad with US than they
have to get mad with any other man who
prefers others. We say to the people, go
10 the primary and vote for who you please
and we shall do likewise. This is free
country.

THE DISEASES IT WILL CURE.

The first case of sickness ever cured
by the Glenn Springs water was a
case of hopeless dropsy, or given up
as hopeless by the physicians.
The second was a severe case Of
heart disease when all the scientific
physicians advised the sick to return
home and prepare for a speedy death.
Returning to South Carolina from
Philadelphia, he came to this spring
and here expected to die, but soon
found himself almost entirely well!
Remaining for some months he be-
came perfectly sound and we'll This
water has iu the past cured a long
list of diseases such as dyspepsia,
liver complaint, chronic heptatitis,
Jaundice, torpor of liver, and general
debility following upon u1alarial dis
eases, dropsy, diarrhna, dyseutery,
constipation, hemownoids, uterine,
renal and cystic diseases, rheumatism
and number Of diseases peculiar to
women. But where anyone has be-
come confirmed coIsumptiye, he is
advised not to use this water.
This water has become so widely
known as possessing medicinal proper
ties, and SO many afflicted people
have been led to see its value that
the work Of shipping the water to
those who cannot come requires one
mans attention. III. Paul Simpson,
one OF the proprietors, gives his en-
tire attention to the shipping and
collecting Of money for the water.
We see wagon loads being sent of
every day to all parts Of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina, and We are informed
that large shipments have been made
to Europe From all vino use this
water comes testimonials OF its power
to cure certain diseases
One OF the best things possibly that
the water does is TO take from 4 man
who has been accustomed to strong
drink, the desire for mora. In this
line it has been called 'keeley IN
stltute, though far surpasses keeley
to my mind. II I am to believe

IT'S DISCOVERY.
quote from small tract which
happened to fall into my hands: Let
it be remembered that at the time of
its discovery, this place was a deep,
unbroken forest, the home OF the
deer and buffalo, and if inhabited az
all, by the Indians. Hence, the first
settlers of this back woods Of South
Carolina found this spot to be only a
Quag-mire, and known to the Indians
as 'deerlick.
It was noticed by them also that
the COWS loved to lounge around this
place and lap the water that settled
here and there amid the blacl; mud
in little pools From the peculiar
smell pervading the mud it came to
be designated as Sulphur Swamp"
This section Of country then be-
longea to North Carolina, and was in
Mecklenburg county. For many
years after the State lines were estab-
lished it was known as the 'New Ac-
Guisition." Later on it took the
name of 'sNinety.Six District" but
finally the quag-mire fell into the
lower edge OF county laid off and
named Spartanburg.
A long, dry spell of weather in
1900 or thereabouts dried up the
Sulphur Swamp" and revealed at
its edge clear, running spring. A
family living near discovered that
the water in this spring had queer
taste aud curdled when soap was put
into it, yet they persisted in its use
The solid tract Of land then compris-
ing a thousand acres, on which the
spring is situated, was sold early in
the century for three hundred dol
lars. An old Baptist preacher by the
name of johnson thought himself
fortunate in getting that amount,
(you see when the LORD gives a
preacher anything be wont keep it,
In 1925 Mr. James P. Means sold the
tract of land, then reduced to less
than FIVE hundred acres, to Mr.. John
B. Glenn for the sum OF eight hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Glenn at once en-
larged the house and opened an 'tinn'
for the travelling public, the SICK, ETC.
From this time forth the spring took
its name and has since been indefi-
nitely known as Glern's Springs. In
1916 a charter was obtained formu-
lating joint stock company, known
as the "Glenn Springs Company"
with Dr.. Maurice Z. Moore, presi-
dent. This stock company bought
the spring and land from Mr.. Glenn
paying him fifteen thousand dollars
for the same, and at once erected a
hotel. From this stock company it
passed from hand to hand until
owned by the present company, the
