Clifford v. Jones Drug Store,

some are young and as fat and sau-
cy as an opossonn. Shall we ever
meet again? No, never in this life.
Our young days have flown and
what the future held in store for us
has mostly been revealed. Youth
is exacting, extreme, but the pass
ing years bring wider vision, wider
Judgment and tolerance, and the
knowledge that there is good and
evil in all conditions of life as we'll
as in all men and women. The de.
calogue contains the list of positive
evils, but l do hope none of this
well-remembered band of school
mates, of friends and of loved ones,
have ever been guilty of violating
single commandment without ask
ing and receiving forgiveness for
same. How many are left to read
what have to say? / can only call
to mind six besides myself and only
two or three of them are subscribers
to The Commercial, but their chill
dren and grandchildren are many
and many of them are lovers of The
Commercial. Well do | remember
on one bright May or June morning
hitching a pair of mules to two
horse wagon and starting to my fa-
theirs home away up on Piny river,
near Pinewood, with ten OF those
civi-war beauties, seven besides
my sisters, all in a two-horse wagon
going home with lis for a few days
vacation, and when we got to the
Dug hill that leads down to Duck
river, l got out to lock wheel, and
noticing one line under the end of
the tongue stepped around to take
it out, and just as ! stepped IN front
of the team the lead mule reared
back and broke the top hame string
and kicked clear out of the harness
and ran off. The wagon started
forward and old Roda being full OF
curiosity, concluded she could beat
the wagon down that hill, and away
she went, running over me, one
wheel knocking off half sole from
my head, and as she ran retailed
those girls out one and two i'll d.
place from the top to the bottom
but didn't hurt one of them, and on
reaching the bottom tried to run
the wagon tongue through big
white oak tree, breaking it into
toothpicks. Now, l did not see the
race but was told that old Roda
sure beat that wagon the full length
of trace chain. After awhile /
felt some one bathing my head with
handkerchief and the cold water
trickling down by my ears. l
thought l heard some one crying
aud opening my eyes. l saw Miss
Paulina Gray was bathing my fore
head and crying and l said, "don't
cry for me, but she cried the more.
After thoroughly coming to myself
/ found the girls had half-souled my
head and had done real good job
of it, but my ne W home-sPun copper
as breeches and puff bosom shirt
were a sight to behold. Soon four
negro men came anu rolled me onto
a stretcher and carried me back to
Mr.. Shouse's, from where we start
ed. Now if there is anything we
would prefer above another and
make sacrifice to attend, it would
be a reunion of those old friends
and schoolmates of forty years ago.
MY mind is still floating about in
the past and as it journeys it recog

RURAL LIBRARIES.

In view Of the fact that the
question of libraries for rural
schools is an, important one and
one that must soon come prom
inently to the front, we direct
the attention Of our worthy
county superintendent and the
teachers in the rural schools to
the plan that is to be tried in
Richland. Solomon said long
ago; "Of making many books
there is no end" In addition
to the thousands of new books
that are being put upon the
market every year, hundreds of
thousands Of copies of the most
valuable of the worlds old books
are being printed, many of them
in editions so cheap th,t +hrv
are within the reach Of all, and
the idea of putting these books
into the hands Of the rural
schools should be a popular one
and earnest efforts should he
made to put it into practice
Who will be the first to try the
plan in this county? What say
you, Prof. Sharp. for the Taber,
nacle High School? And you,
Prof. Bailcs, for the Pleasant
Valley Academy

800 people were killed and 1854
Injured in train accidents. Other
kinds of accidents, including
those sustained by employees
while at work, run up the total
casualties to S27 killed and H.

dents cannot be put down
entirely to the fault of passsn-

BETTER ROADS CONVENTION.

The desire for better public
roads is in the air, and IL is q
living, thriving, growing desire
The good roads movement is a
reality in almost every county
in the piedmont section Of the
state Most Of the counties have
had what cur colored preacher
friends call orally days" when
the question Of better roads was
the subject Of paramount i'm
pOrtance.
Our capable county supervisor
is publishing a call for such =
meeting to be held in the court
house on the 22d Of this month
and this call should be needed
by all our people in every sec
ton Of the county. Our public
highways are VIGOROUSLY bad
not quite so bad, hewevsr, a
would be inferred from the
facetiOus reference Fv.Judgo
Mackcy used to make to this
county as "the county in which
the public roads lad not heon
worked since the days of Andrew
Jackson "
But the roads are bad, entire
ly too bad. We cannot aGoru
to have them remain as bad as
thly are, auN thut l. -. .H.a
that our people must oorrA t.
understand We cans afford
the heavy expense consequent
to bad roads Doubtless that
phase Of the question will be
properly stressed by senator
Latimor, the speaker Of the day
for this meeting. Let all come
out and hear and learn about
this vital question Of "Detter
roads"

For Tho Enterprise
o n NEWS.

Mr.. Editor-Please allow me
a short space in your excellent
paper to say few things about
our pert of the county.
Inc crops in this immediate
section are good They have
suffered to a slight extent from
the long drought, but in most
cases cotton will be better than
last year. Corn is excellent.
Many OF our best corn producers
expect larger yield than in
many years. 1t is but just to
our farmers to say that they real
ize the value of systematic farm
ing. They no longer depend
entirely on incompetent negro
labor. In its stead they are using
improved implements and raising
their farms to a higher state Of
cultivation. We do not have
many plantations, but we do have
a large number of splendid farms.
We hope for them continued sue
cess.
The Tabernacle High School
has opened under most flattering
auspices. Prof. Il. T.. Sharpe,
Rev. and Mrs. w. @. Winn, last
years efficient teachers, are again
In charge. 1t is sufficient to say
;hat with these TO look after the
teaching and the moral tone Of
the school, and with the sturdy
farmers to stand for a good school,
that we expect a successful Year.
Already more than S5 pupils are
enrolled, and the attendance will
soon r"-ch . hun1r-1. We ceu
not praise our good people too
much for this great work. We
hope they will continue to build
up their school until there shall
not be an ignorant child in the
whole neighborhood. Education
means tor them better homes,
better farms, better morals and
u"hler ciUZens.
