Wanted to Throw Lever Out.

Representative Lever, of this State, is

to do so-he does it without wishing

Mr. Lever first took his seat. The House
official, who gives notice to those not

get out just before the opening of the
sessions, had noticed boyish-looking
fellow for several days who didn't pay
the slightest attention to the notice.
Finally the official approached Amos
Cummings, remarking in nottled tone:
"If that boy don't get out of hero before

Farming That Is Farming.

Americus Times Recorder "They
have soms pretty large farms in
Southern California. Think of a
steam plow running fifty-fve fur.
rows at a time, covering a breadth
of 40 feet. The best record of such
a plow is rs acres in four hours and
forty-five minutes, the circumference
of the field being five miles. In
order to set ourselves right with pos
sible doubters who have never toyed
with anything more pretentious than
a double shovel or a cultivator, we
may add that this statement is not
made on the strength of personal
observation. The average capacity
of the steam plow is 10 acres day,
and it takes the place of seventy
mules. The same engine of fifty
horse power drew combined har-
vester and thresher, which cut,
threshed and sacked 1000 acres of
wheat in one day. We may add
that we were not present when this
was done. The daily allowance of
fuel for this engine is IL barrels of
crnde petrolium. The farmer who
owns it is not a PopuIist."

a period of four months. Such condi-

from other cities by like means.
What the fruit trade alone of the West
Indies would be worth to any port that
could control it, or large part of it, is
indicated by the fact that the United
Fruit Company distributed last year in
the United States and Canada not less
than 17,500,000 lunches of bananas and
13,oOQ,OO0 cocoanuts, besides other tropi-
cal fruits. Sixty steamers were engaged
exclusively in the banana trade.
Mary Todd, who claims she is a
daughter of Abraham Lincoln, desires to
prove her identity in order to gain pos
session of farm in Menard county, Illi-
nois. For many years the woman says
she had faith in promises that she would
always be well cared for. She was
reared by Robert and Jane Todd on a
farm near Chambersburg, ILL.,, and re-
sided with them until she was 1S. She
left them because they would not tell
her who her parents were, but neighbors
told her that Abraham Lincoln was her

the moral influence to be found in
the country is very inviting to the
better class of young men. In the
first place country life is free from
the noise and. excitement of tn,
towns and cities. The country is
more solitary and furnishes better
place and more time for serious
thought. What is more inspiring
than to ramble through the woods
and fields in the spring when the
sweet voiced birds are singing their
praise to the kind Heavenly Father
who created them and who protects
and cares for them, and the trees and
flowers declare the majestic power
of the all.governing Providence.
Surely our heart--ungrateful as it is
would prompt us to exclaim in the
wonderful words Of job: "But ask
now the beasts and they shall teach
thee or the fowls of the air and
they shall tell thee; or speak to the
earth and it shall teach thee !; and
the fishes of the sea shall declare
unto thee. Who knoweth not in all
these that the hand of. the Lord hath
wrought this ? In whose hand is the
soul of every living thing and the
breath of all mankind p Sublime
sentiment! Wonderful teachers |
insignificant as them may seem, they
are constantly reminding us of their
Creator.
Another great thing to be consid-
cred is the difference in environment.
ln the country you are secluded from
that wicked set who always loafs
around town and spreads their evil
nets to catch country boys when they
go to town for the purpose of draw
ing them into their gambling dens
and other disreputable places.

who would not remain on the farm

Jefferson's Bible.

Representative Lacey, Republican,
of Iowa, has asked the National
House of Representatives to author
ize printing 5000 fac -simile copies
of the "Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, -
prepared by Thomas Jefferson.
"This book was known as Thomas
Jefferson's Bible, and is now in the
National Museum" says Mr.. Lacey.
"When Congress purchased Jeffer-
sons library, Miss Randolph with
held this volume, but later sold it for
$4OO. Unlike the rest of the library,
Congress never had copies of this
book printed. Mr.. Jefferson pre-
pared it in a reverent spirit, during
several years of intermittent applica-
tion to the task. He strips the Bible
of all its miracles and leaves nothing
but pure morals, that he might com
pare the same with the morals of
Confucius and other Pagan ,hiloso.

Doucha, who was killed by a falling
tree near Fair Play recently, was
born in Bohemia of Austria, Europe,
October 14th, 1843. He came to
this country and settled in Ander-
son county in 1883 with a small
party of emigrants, and removed to
Oconee county in 1890. He pur-
chased farm from j. d. Werner and
with industry and economy he soon
paid for the same. He was scarcely
ever found away from his home, and
lived in perfect harmony with all
mankind. He could speak but little
English. He was honest and upright
in his dealings, and left his family in
comfortable circumstances He was
Roman Catholic by belief and
lived up to the teachings of that
church. He was buried at Ander-
son on January 18th, next day after
his death. Father A. X. Gwynn, of
the Greenville Catholic church, met
the family and consecrated the grave,
but had to leave before the inter-
ment. He was successful farmer.
He leaves wife and five children
three sons and two daughters-who
have the sympathy of all good peo-
pie in the community. May he rest
in peace. A Friend.

WARNING 70 FARMERS.
Our Correspondent Says that He Thinks this
will be a Good Year for Farmers.

: = J. =
Editors Courier: More people left
the farm last fall than was ever
known before. Most of them went
to the mills, in fact SO many that all
OF them could not find employment.
The year 1901 was very hard on the
agricultural classes. No one made
money, but lost, or come out in debt.
A great number found that they
would note able to farm this year
and had 10 resort to other yoeations
to make living. Many who ~ofk ked Il
crops last year are working for
wages this year.
Nearly one year ago urged upon
the readers of The Courier the i'm
portance of diyersifying their crops,
and with much stronger argument i
repeat it now. Owing to the scarcity
of feed stuffs farmers will be ccm-
pelled to diversity their crops this
year, or at least to greater extent
than they generally do. Corn and
hay are going up almost every day,
and there is very little in the coun-
try--not enough to feed the stock
until the land is prepared for the
coming crop. A majority of the
farmers have no money with which
to buy corn, at any price, and if cot
very economical they cannot Keep
their stock in working order until
green feed comes in.
For several reasons l think this
will be good year on the farms, not
that anticipate good crop year,
but that all kinds of produce will be
high, and, owing to the great num-
ber of people compelled to work for
wages, and the consequent reduction
OF wages, it can be made at a mini
mum cost. Those who can possibly
make crop this year had better do
so. If you can manage to get enough
corn and hay to make your crop
without going in debt, tant mieux.
/ have never known better time
for young men from town who desire
to farm to make the attempt. If you
have means with which to make a
crop, I can see no good reason why
you should not succeed. And if you
have not the means, and can get some
one to back you, / think it would
pay to do 80. Farm hands will be
very plentiful next summer. Times
will be 80 hard that people will have
to work almost at any price. There
are already more hands than can find
jobs.
Taking thing into considera-
tion, l don't see why a number of
the boys in town, who are trying to
find employment, do not try their
hand at farming. 1t is lamentable
fact that SO few of our country boys
remain on the farm. Farming is
certainly pleasant occupation, and
l fail to see any good reason why it
should not be made profitable one.
Bad management and few poor
crop years have caused many ambi-
tious boys and young men, to leave
the farm and seek more paving
place in our towns. This kind of a
place is hard to find. 1t may have
paid to move to town a few years
ago, for there were not as many ap-
plicants then as now. Farming,
under an economical management,
will furnish large returns to our
young men who are willing to work
and try to make something out of it.
The prospect for young farmers in
the future is very bright.
Besides the business advantages
connected with agricultural pursuits,
