shown letter from Capt. G.. II. Wise
in which he states that the Saludu
commissioners passed a resolution Mon
day appropriating 800 toward the
building of bridge across Saluda
river ut Kcmpson's ferry. He further
says: eve have one thousand dollars
in private subscriptions" and otfers to
meet Newberry at tho river with ST.
700. If Newberry's commissioners will
appropriate 81, 900 to this cause the
work will be begun ut once. Will they
do it? We hope they will!-Prospcrity
Advertiser.
We arc glad to record the action Of
the commissioners of Saluda. They
havo done the right thing, though
they should have made the amount
$1,000, but with the private subscrip-
tions already secured and 800 from
SaludG we feel sure the bridge will be
built.
The Ncwbcrry commissioners will

Chips is too blue. 1t is right to econ
omize and he gives good advice when
he says the farmers should raise their
own supplies at home. The farmers
seem to be the only people who rs Il
class will not learn by experience. The
year following the low price of cotton
was good fall. The farmers bought
but little on credit and raised supplies
for the farm on the farm, but as soon as
cotton went above 5 cents they forgot
oil former experiences ard planted big
crops OF cotton. A trip to the Fair will
cost but little and will be money we'll
spent. 1t will do no good to pine and
whine. We must be up and doing.

Greenvillc's city council has passed
an ordinance providing fo" license on
original package houses. 1t is pro-
posed to test the law us to the right of
towns to impose licenses on these liouo,
dealers. The attorney for the Green
vile city council seems to think his or
dInance will stand the test. We doubt
it. Possibly if the license is made low
the dealers Will prefer to pay it rather
than make the fight. 1t is only a few
months now until the Legislature
meets and then there will be material
changes in the law.

in the cotton market shows a combine
| tiOn. Then how are we to fight c6mbi-
nations, trusts and monopolics? Not
by legislative means. Oh, no! rothing
but politicians preach thi1 doctrine.
How then? by planting big cotton
crops and making big debts? Never in
the kingdom. The way is plain ana
easy. First, cconomizc, raise plenty
to eat, make less debts: get in shape
that we will not be forced to soil our
cotton, then, take my word for it, the
combinations will die. The country
will flourish and We, together with our
wives and children, will be happy and
serene.

Look here, Brother Kay, come out
one night and lots go 'possum hunting
There must be good many possums
around in this burg. There is just 10; y
OF Mny-pops and muscadincs, and you
know that 'possums like this kind of
food. | don't know whether Dixie will
tree 'possum or not, but | do know
that he is mighty good to treo cuts.
Come along and bring your old Scotch
cullcs with you. | think if old Chips
and Kay were to go out on such an OK
pedition it would have IL tendency to
raise 'hc price Of cotton.
Yc', Miss Fairy Belle, Chips don't
doubt but what you can pick Il goose.
How about picking cotton? | have u
little Chip who will soon bc on the
market. | will send him up TO invcsti-
gate the matter. What say you?
Look here, Sigma, don't you know
that other fellows done got the coon
and gone on:
Now, Gee IIaw, when you and Josh
both get over on College hill / want
yon to go for 'cm red eyed and hump
shOuldcrcd. But bc careful and avoid
the "big-hcad;' it's mighty contagious
on such occasions, and once in Il while
throw in II little caution to the editor,
he's not too old to take this disease,

tiOn But remember | don't think
that you need to throw in single hint
to the editors good lady, for if am
