Ten Liars.
A. S. Tompkins, Esq, who knows

the following incident of one of
Sam Jones' sermons. He says that
in the course of one of his talks
Mr.. Jones asked that if there were
any men in the congregation who
had never had q cross word with
their wives they woul: please
stand up. Ten men stood up.
"Please walk to the 'front.'" said
he. They did so. "Now, said Mr..
Jones, "please turn round and face
the audience" Thew did this also.
"Now, my frionds," said he, ad-
dressing the audience, "allow me
to introduce to you ten of the big
gest liars in the State of Georgia" P"
This happened, of course, in the
State of Georgia, couldn't have
happened in South Carolina.

AR. EDITOR: Cotton picking is
a thing of the past and corn is

Since cotton has gone up to 5
cents farmers would like to have
another croy to commence on.
Mr.. M. D. Lyon, the popular
merchant of Ropers, is doing fine
business, and handsome John P.
Zimmerman is always ready to
wait upon the people at the store,
especially the ladies.
Mr.. J. w. Mondy was thrown
from his horse one day last week
and narrowly escaped being killed.
At this writing he is resting very
we'll. 1t is hoped by his many
friends that he will be out again

The ladies of Ropers are to give

Sow Wheat.
In conversation with DR..
Zimmerman last Saturday he told
US that he had sowed wheat every
year since '56 and he had made
only two failures, and one of them
resulted from late frost which
occurred when the wheat was in
the boot. Forty years with cnly
two failures and vet many farmers
say that wheat is too uncertain a
crop to be wasting time on. This
is a mistaken idea and one that
we hope will be generally discarded
and every farmer resolve to make at
least one more effort to become in
dependent of Western dollar wheat.
In this connection we will relate
fact which should encourage
every farmer to make trial effort.
Mr.. R. L. Prater, of Batesburg,
sowed last fall six acres Of piney
woods land, near the old Peterson
sawmiIl, and harvested, threshed
and cleaned up SO bushels OF fine
| wheat-sixteen bushels per acre.
This is a fact. Perhaps you can
do as we'll. Anyhow, try it; but
don't rob yourself and discourage
the wheat by putting it in land
that you think wouldn't make
snything else. Give it a fair
showing and we believe you will
! be successful l.-Johnsto Monitor.

He insists that Russia, Germany and

kind, are influenced largely by a desire to
check the modern movement toward

The new tariff which is to restore
prosperity will without doub. add to the
prevailing dulness. The increased gov
eminent receipts from customs show the
increase IN lmportations These are awny
beyond present needs and result in over
stocking, condition sure TO result in
continued depression. Under the Wilson
law we were getting rid of our surplus
products IN the foreign market and at
good prices. The balance OF trade in our
fivor was steadily increasing. Custom
revenues decreased because importa,iops
were lessened. We were building our
different lines of business on good bust
ness principles. ALI this will be undone
by return to business quackery.
And still people point to the increased
government revenue as an evidence of
prosperity. The tax collector has become
the advance agent of prosperity" and
money forced into the stagnant pool
OF the national treasury is capable of
working wonders This condition is con-
ttasied with that prevailing under Cleye-
lands administration with every mani
festatlon Of delight. The leaders do not
perceive that they are simply storing up
wrath. No people can be made happy
and prosperous by taxing them and they
will soon discover this. Too much de-
ception has boen practiced already.

The charges made against J. e. Doe,
assistant secretary of war, appear to be
petty. There Is not much doubt that
Doe, following the example of all officials
took some trihing advantage Of the ad-
vantage of his position. 1t is done so
generally that the person who fails to do
it is regarded as purlst. 1t is not right
to do these things, but custom has sane
toned the usage. There is no intention
of dishonesty in adopting a practice
which is almost traditional. People ap-
propriate lead pencils which are public
property without thought of any dis
honesty being involved in the act. Doe
would not endanger his reputation by
stealing bicycle, or having binding
done at public expense II custom had not
sanctioned the proceeding.
