Wednesday, April I, 1903.

We have watched the record Con-
areseman Lever has made in Congress
with peculiar interest and it is with
much pleasure that we are able to
state that the result has been most
gratifying to his immediate constitu-
ents in particular and the people OF
the State in general.
In building up and extending the
free rural mail delivery service in
the 7th District he is entitled to the
eommendation of the people OF every
section for his slertness, promptness
and activity in taking advantage OF
every proposition tending toward the
progress of the people whom he rep
resents so faithfully. There is not
another district in the State of South
Carolina that equals the 7th in the
efficiency Of its mail service. This is
a self evident fact and needs DO argu-
ment to prove it such.
Not alone in the matter of increas
ing the mail facilities of his district
has he been diligent, but he has given
much thoughtful study to subject
which is of absorbing interest to the
agricultural element of the district.
He evidently believes that under q
scientific process of agricultural study
"two blades Of grass can be made
TO grow where one now grows"
and to demonstrate the practicability
Of his theory he has succeeded in en-
listing the sympathy and aid OF the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, and bis work has been marked
with success. As 8 result OF his la
bors Mr. W. J. Sp;llman, agrostalo-
gist, in charge of the grass and for
age investigation, has been induced
to come South and will be in this
district shortly to speak to the far
ners of each county comprising the
district ITO discuss the results OF the
distribution of seeds, agricultural
topics OF general interest and to
make suggestions in the matter of
the cultivation Of grasses and forage
plants and the handling of live stock"
Speaking Of this matter the Co.
Eunbia State says: "Mr. Lever ex-
pressed the belief that the raising of
cattle is the salvation of this country.
This industry will encourage the other
neglected industry Of raising grasses
and il the farmers who raises cattle
will carefully prepare their compost,
there will be no need to buy the arti-
fetal fertilizer. which burns out the
soil, bus the land can be enriched
permanently by the application of
bsrnlot manures. In the North
West lands have been built in this
way until soil which few years ago
would not raise a crop Of wheat now
produces stalk 80 large and head
80 heavy that it bends to the ground. :"
Mr.. spillman will address the far
ners of Lexington county in the
court house in this place, on Monday
morning, april 13. We trust that Q
large number of our representative
farmers will interest themselves in
this matter and show their apprecia-
ton of what is being pat forth in their
behalf by meeting Dir. Spillman on
the occasion OF his visit here. They
will be greatly benefited by attend
ing this meeting.

sTATE FIREMEN,s DUES,

An attempt is to be made at the com- ing convention of the State Firemen's association in Branford to limit the membership of the companies who are members of the association or else have the dues of each company adjusted ac- cording to the size of the companies. The association pays benefits and a number of the small companies about the state with ten or a dozen men are paying as much as the large volunteer companies. Itis claimed that some of the paid companies have inquired into the membership of some of the New London companies and found that the organizations are exceptionally large, one company having 120 members. Just how far the attempt will go to have the system of dues in the association changed is not known.

GREAT POETRY FOR THE MOB.

GREAT POETRY FOX IE1E MOB. 3
 It is natural that Romeo and Juliet'' should always have been a favorite with actors. It is full of pictures; it ap- peals5 to the most popular of the emo- tions; it's poetry is only too well fitted for recitation. There never was an actress under 50 who did not feel her. self a Juliet, or an actor under 60 who did not see himself as Romeo. For once Shakespeare wrote poetry which the mob could not but love, could not but find itself at home with. Juliet is the Englishman's symbol for Helen, and Shakespeare has made her the name for virtue in love, fatal indeed to herself and Romeo, but innocently fatal. We are far from ''the couple of un- fortunate lovers" of Brooke's '.Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet" "writ- ten first in Italian by Randen and nowe in Englishe by Ar. Br.," !" one of Shakes peare's sources, whom Brooke hastily shows us finally, by all means of un- honest life, hasting to most unhappy death.'' .The two hours traffic of our stage was, to Shakespeare, concerned with ''the nisadventured piteous overthrows" of a a pair of star-crossed lovers he lays the blame on no one, not even on fate.-Arthur Symons in July Harper's .-E
