A Barbecue and Picnic.-A Mar
riase.-Advancc i'm Manufac-
turing Enferprises.-Per-
SOnaI Mention.

Jonesville, June 29.-The month
is about to close, and it is one June
that will not be forgotten in this part
of the country as we'll as the whole
country while the present generation
lives. The floods, railroad disasters
with many other events and incidents
will make it especially to be remem-
bered.
Yesterday was quite cool and
really there has been but little hot
weather up to this date. The cotton
plants show the sign Of the cool wet
weather; the leaves are thick, and
have copper, rusty color; and then
the stalks are quite small and the
squares are very scarce and no bios
SONS have been reported in this com,
munity yet. Corn on up land is far
ing somewhat better than the cotton,
but it is not very promising, and the
bottoms are just being replanted and
the seasons will have to be favorable
for a late crop or the bottoms will
not come in. So it i, very evil
dent thet the crop prospect is rather
gloomy.
The people of the knitting mills
will take holiday next Saturday and
will celebrate the glorious fourth
with barbecue and picnic, and
have invited the people of the town
to Join with them. Come up, Mr.
Editor, and JOIN US in the exercises
and try some Joncsville nash ant
picnic.
Mr.. Herbert Fowler and Mis-
Ramoth Willard were married yester
day by w. III. S. Harris, notar,

The farmers have quit the rescu
of the cotton mills property in tn
wrecks along Pacolet river and hav
returned to their farms. Most {
them made good money. but tn

threatening in the early morning aud

there was but little disposition on the

Washington, D. g.. June 20, 1908
According to cable advices re-
ceiyed by DR.. Harran, the Colon
bian Minister, the prospect for ratif-
cation Of the Panama canal treaty
are decidedly moro favorable than
they were a short time ago. The
Colombian Congress has assembled
and organized. Several of t e
members who have heretofore been
opposed to the treaty have signified
their intention to vote for ratification.
The opinion is expressed in the cable-
gram that the treaty will be ratified
within week or ten days. Secre.
tory Shaw has intended for some
time to 60 to Europe, but suddenly
changed his mind and this is believed
to be due to the improved prospec
for ratification. AS soon as ,h'
treaty is ratified and copies ex
changed it will be necessary to pa,
over $50.000,000, $10,000,000 t.
Columbia and $40,000,000 to tn
Panama Canal Company. It is as

A Good Man Gone.

~. The death Of Mr.. VIM. Lipscomb
county one of the most prominent ana
highly esteemed citizens. Mr.. Wood
was high, toned christian man, hon
orab'eand upright in all his dealings,
and highly respected among his wide
circle Of friends to whom he was
always loyal and true. He was
successful and prosperous business
man, and at his delightful home at
Pacolct it was always a pleasure to
him to entertain his hosts of friends
and dispense in true Southern style
that charming hospitality so charac-
tcristic of ante bellum days.
TO honest and correct was he in
his dealings with others that he
never had to resort to the courts for
settlement. All honor to such men!
He never sought Office, but took an
intelligent, conservative interest in
all public affairs. Mr.. Wood was a
native and life long citizen of Spar
tanburg County and his kindly in
huence and genial appearance will
be sadly missed.
The Methodist church, of which
he was consistent member has also
sustained a great loss. His wife,
who was Miss Mary Austell, sister
of Hon. w. G. Austell of Gaffney,
anl five children, viz: Mrs. Hamlet
Lipscomb, S. S., d. Baxter, Miss
Fannie and Chas. Wood survive him.
Servant of God. we'll done!
Thy glorious warfare's past;
| The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last"

South to receive attention
of Bureau Cf Forestry.

A study of the balsam will be car.
ried on by the Bureau of Forestry
this summer in the Adirondacks and
in Maine. Work has already been
done in the Adirondacks, and the
object of the coming seasons work
will be to conclade the study, the
results Of which will probably be
published next spring. The main
purposes Of the investigation of bal.
sam are to determine its suitability
Tor use as paper pulp, the quantity
Which is now standing, and the re-
suits that can be expected in the
production of second crop und,r
Conservative methods of lumberinp.
A--study ofthe poplar in Maine
has come about through the increased
use of poplar as paper pulp material.
Its general scope is similar to that
Of the balsam investigation.
The work on southern hardwoods
this year will be continuation of the
study which has already been carried
on during two field seasons. Its
purpose is to determine the stand, the
present and the possible uses, and
the best methods of management for
the following important commercial
hardwoods. of the South: Tulip>tree,
white oak, post oak, chestnut oak,
Eastwood, chestnut, the hickorics and

Matter of Importance to Users
of Machinery in the South.

While the Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore is of great value to
every one interested in the material
interests of the South, there is one
department of that paper which is
simply invaluable to every one en-
gagged in manufacturing or mining,
or in any way concerned in buying
machinery. This feature is known
as its "Construction Department"
and in that is published a list of
every new manufacturing, mining or
railroad enterprise, the enlargements
of established plants, municipal inl.
provements to be made, etc. Lead
ing manufacturers Of machinery. en-
ginecrs and contractors, and others
throughout the country, watch this
feature Of the Manufacturers Record
very closely in order to keep in
touch with Southern development
Southern machinery buyers are thus
enabled to secure without cost t
themselves competitive bids from
many manufacturers and contractors
1t often happens that announcement
of the starting of a new enterpris

1t had been previously stated tha,
the President would not participate
IN any movement looking to the call
ing ct the attention of the Car to
the kisheney affair there is much
speculation as to his change of mind
and it is ascribed by some to the be-
lief that Russia is standing in the
way of the opening of Manchurian
ports to American trade.
Numerous reports sent out from
Washington to the effect that Post.

hat he will remain in Washington

The celebration Of the bicentennial
next October of Jonathan Edwards
birth revives some interesting sayings
of the great preacher.
do you believe in the absolute
truth of the Bible?'' was asked of him
at public assemblage.
"The Bible is faith itself and full of
golden truths" said the theologian
firmly.
"Then why are people so reluctant to
accept those truths?" asked the CUES
toner.
Because" and Edwards face grew
wra thful. ''the book that contains the
truths has not golden clasps on it.
Golden clasps to hold together golden
truths! All, people would then steal
what they now will not accept"

Our Remaining Forests.

An official estimate made Of the for
est area of the United States puts it at
100000 acres. Had the forests been
intelligently managed the amount of
merchantable timber in them would
be ten times as great. The science of
forestry is now taught in more than
forty schools. Yale and Cornell uni
versities and the special college at
Biltmore, n. c.. have advanced classes
and give degrees In forestry.
