LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.
The Growing Fondness For Rural
Life a Good Sign.

The Growing FOndness For Rural
Life a Good Sign.
In The Ladies' Home Journal Edward
Box, with much satisfaction, notes the
strong tendency to country living and
believes that cit is one of the best signs
Of the times Nothing in the world can
keep man or woman SO young and
fresh as to be able to be in touch each
day with the perpetual freshness and
youth of nature. Suburban life means
more out of door living, and that is
what we Americans all need. We want
more exercise, and suburban living
makes that easier. We want our inter
est in things kept fresh, and that nature
does for MS as nothing else can.
'tThe more our busy mem seq of ma
lures restful ways the more restful
will they become. The closer we keep
our children to the soil the healthier
will they be physically and the stronger
will they develop mentally. The more
our girls breathe in the pure air which
God intended for all, but which man in
the cities pollutes, the better women we
shall have, the fewer worried mothers
we shall see. The more our young men
see Of out Of door .spouts the more clear
y will they realize the greatness Of
splendid physical health.
''The more the Tired housewife sees Of
flowers and plants and trees the closer
will become her interest In all things
natural and simple, sand. as she sees the
simplicity with which nature works un-
consciously, villa the lesson be forced up
on her and enter into her own methods
We all agree that there Is no teacher
like nature herself. Let us all, then, get
as close to her .as possible. Whatever
she teaches is wholesome to the mind
and uplifting to the soul and strength
ening to the body. In the very act Of
studying her wonderful ways there is
health -

Napoleon In Evergreen.

The great Napoleon, done in ever
green, Is the unique statue that stands
In the garden of M. d'Aguilleres, in the
suburbs Of Paris. The statue is a perfect
model of the ''little corporal in char
acteristio attitude, wearing cooked
hat and sword and snuffbox in hand.
The features are very lifelike-
The greatest care is necessary in order
to preserve the likeness, and the artist
gardener spends considerable time in
clipping off dead leaves and cutting
away an occasional branch. The sigma
ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the
foot Of the statue in flowers. Paris

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Favors the Adoption of the Initiative and
Referendum.
Under the new economic conditions
which have obtained and which have
made capital, through organization, such
a potent factor in SOC ETY. and in legisla
ton, it has become necessary that the in.
dividual citizen should be given more eff.
ficient means for his protection. The ex.
clusively representative method is nc
longer safeguard as has been so prom
inently demonstrated in the recent
franchise scandals in one of our
sister states. Instances of similar
character, though not so fragrant, are not
wanting in our history. The only RENE
dy, it seems to me, against such abuses, Is
to afford the people a constitutional
method by which they can initiate needed
reforms, by direct action on the one hand,
and exercise the veto power on questi ,na-
able or corrupt legislation on the other.
This involves the introduction Of no new
principles in our form of government.
There are no stronger reasons for trusting
the people to pass upon men than upon
measures. We do not think so In regard to
constitutional enactments, which is legis-
lation in It's highest and most Important
form. The people now have the power to
initiate reforms and legislation In the
matter Of locating county seats, and in
some municipal undertakings This
power, with proper restrictions as to the
time and frequency Of its exercise, should
be extended to other important questions.
Would Amend the Consultation.
The constitution could, and in. my
Judgment should, be so amended as to
enable minority in the legislature by
appropriate action to refer enactments, at
least such as extend corporate privileges
or authorize the granting Of franchises, to
vote of the people before becoming OPP
erative.
Governor Lind recommends that work
on the new capitol be pushed as expedi-
tiously as possible. To that end he would
have permission granted to the commits
sion to anticipate tho tax levy by the use
Of some of the trust funds Of the state. to
which no profitable or suitableinvestL
has been found.
In conclusion permit me to express
conviction that cordial cooperation
tween the executive and the leglslatu
essential to the best interests of the 81

The action is to be brought on account
of an article which appeared in a re-

Mr.. Jones's character. Mr.. Jones says
that similar action will be brought

paper recently discontinued because
its editor, Bishop Capers, found its
publication too great an interference

bishops approval, will in March issue
the paper, guaranteeing its publica
ton. The new editor is the Rev. Mr.
Bratton, of Spartanburg, Rev. w. S
Holmes, being associate editor, and
Captain Edmund Bacon, agent Of the
subscription department. 1t is felt by
the bishop and many others that this
paper is too essential to the life of the

this church, whose organ The Dioces.
is, is most earnestly invited.

Republican managers to the parties
who will pay the most for such Offices
independent of their characters OF
qualifications. The developments il
this matter promise to be very interest
ing, not only to the people of Soutt
Carolina, but to the whole country
and will show the country what Re

Mr.. Wilson thinks there will be some
very startling developments in thi
case within few weeks, or possibly 1

Fertilizers.

In the past have taken an especial
pride in handling only the best HIGH
GRADE STANDARD FERTILIZERS,
the merits and popularity of which are
attested by the constantly increasing sales
as each successive season passes by, and
although my arrangements of the past
have been very satisfactory, they do not
compare with present arrangements, and
am now better prepared than ever to
quote prices on FERTILIZERS, and
since it is quite an important item with
most farmers, am sure that it will be de-
cidedly against their interest to buy fer.
tilizers without first seeing me. for.
have taken the best advantage of the
lowest fuctuating prices and made con-
tracts accordingly.
