a wager with another that he could get

The principal undertaken of Greenville
S. C., while not claiming a monopoly in
his business, has kept record for the past
six years which shows the cause of death

that seventy-three persons inferred by

unlawful means. There were, of course
many persons killed in the county not
buried by this city undertaken, but the
same record in the other counties would
represent 500 violent deaths a year.

than in the present condition OF the SOUTH
EN- cattle industry.
The South has gone along year after
year growing end producing undersiz-
ed runt called cattle, without any atten-
ton whatever to the economic or sensible
lines of breeding and growing of these an
imals and that too in the very face OF the
tons of litera lure published showing us
that we were wrong, that to become pros
porous and known as a cattle raising coun-
try we must do as they do in other places.
breed up treat the animal with care and
common sense and that animal would then
grow into dollars and cents, remunerating
us for our foresight and showing to lhs
world what we could do.
I have heard some people say that the
Southern farmer has not been in a posi-
ton financially or otherwise, to raise good
cattle, which is the veriest rot ana nom
sense and the amount or numbers of cat
tie. or rather runts, raised by the South
ern farmer is a refutation of this nonsen-
steal statement, for any man or set Oh
men of ordinary intelligence VIII say 10
YOU and rightfully, too, that II IS Just as
easy to raise the good animal, ana IL any
thing cheaper in the end, as 1t is to raise
the scrub. The good one eats as rule
not any more than the runt, and in feed
ing or grazing the good one properly, the
same amount of feed or grazing Will pay
much better than in the runt. OF course
this may be hard for some people TO see,
hut when it Is a known and tested fact
that the good animal will always take on
more flesh and fat and grow faster and
sell better than his brother, the runt, it
is easy to see which is the cheaper to feed
and raise. With all these things before
us where is the claim justifiable that we
cannot do as well here in growing cattle
as elsewhere?
Some people say that the Southern farm
err has not sufficient means to raise the
best of cattle, and I say again that this Is
a poor assertion, and that statistics will
not bear out any such statements, partic-
ularly when one considers that other
farming sections have had their vicissi-
tudes as well as ours, and yet have been
able to raise good cattle, in fact the top
notchers. and are doing so yet to their
satisfaction and profit.

Gus cures.
Undoubtedly DR.. Hathaway was born
with that pecliarly keen insight which en-
ables him to diagnose diseased conditions
with absolute accuracy; but IL is also none
the less true that his most thorough col

very much to do toward making the Great
Physician.
There is no town or city and hardly
hamlet in this whole country where there
are not those who daily bless DR.. Hatha-

The early depression had its inception

The large buying of Burlington was
