At the same time Madeleine and

set the lamp on the bottom step and
offered his hand to the girl, but she

This did not seem to move or surprise

ironical gesture which implied, "As

her; then he hurried back to the house,
while Madeleine's carriage drove rap

Use Brain and Sow Grain.

Any man who is willing to work can
make a good living out Of farming. He
must realize and realize now not to de-
pend on cotton alone. He must act up
on this knowledge and act quick. The
way to act at the present moment is to
SOW grain. To get the value out of
your investment in q farm you must
work your mules and your hands every
possible moment. 1t is of urgent ne
cessity that you SOW grain. Make your
own wheat and oats. Have some to
sell. There is big money in the Lau-
rens county grass crop. If you are an
intelligent farmer you will have some
of this money. You will raise enough
to feed the stock that makes the cotton
crop. What your cotton sells for will
be profit. Therefore SOW grain! SOW
barley! Have a spring hay crop!

Affects Laurens Business.

The people of Laurens should have in
mind the establishment OF rural free
delivery routes. Whenever q new route
is established leading out of Laurens it
inevitably brings business here. 1t will
be found in the curse of a few years,
as the people in the country more and
more use convenient mails for buying
and selling, this new postal system will
greatly affect business conditions. The
establishment of these routes turns
argely and perhaps mainly on the
character of the roads and bridges.
For example, the establishment of one
new route from this city at this moment
bridge. If the bridge should not be
built and the route should begin at
some other town, it would mean a loss
of more than 1925 a month to Laurens.
The mail carrier earns $50 o month {; If
the route should lead from another
town he would live and spend his mon
ey In this other town, and tnis would
be the smallest part of the loss. If the
county should decline to build this
bridge, it would pay the merchants to
build it, though as the bridge in this
instance is urgently needed for public
purposes generally, we take it for
granted that the county will build it.
Burnt Mill creek ought to have been
bridged years ago.
OF course q town should have a bust
neaS oroopizatiop RI 1oolr affair tbese
matters and scores of others that con-
stantly demand attention yet fail to get
it-because what is ~everybody's bust
ness is no body's.
p. San understanding has been
reached by which the Burnt Mill Creek
bridge will be built-but the remarks
above are pertinent just the same.

try it to be pleased. 1t is easy oper-

that can be made or repaired on The
farm, it has no casting to break and
cause long delay. No other press has
this advantage. 1t is tho only press
that the farmer can afford to buy, 1t
pays for itself out OF the first crop.
Every farmer can own his own press,

When Oil Paid.

Anent the excitement of speculation
in the Texas oil fields, George McRae
who is at the Waldorf Astoria, tells of
the discontinue of a speculator from
st. Louis who wanted to drive a close
bargain. The st. Louisan selected q
well for purchase, and it was offered
him for $4,000. He demurred at the
price, and finally one of the officials OF
the company selling the wells re.
marked:
"Ill tell you what I'll do. If you
will pay 10 cents a barrel for all the
oil produced there for thirty days you
can have the we'll"
Agreed" said the man from st.
Louis, and he signed an agreement.
The we'll produced 10000 barrels
daily for the next thirty days, costing
the st. Louis speculator $50, 0,000.-New
