A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds-some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it," Most men appreciate a kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are persons
in this community who might truth
fully say; 'My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses Of Chamberlain 3

About 1895 Of the regular vote was
polled and the same ratio will hold
throughout the state The directions
for voting were not understood and
many voted against the amendments
when from their marking they
really voted for some Of them.
Farmers have had hard row to
hoe this year. Corn is almost a
failure, potatoes are rotting. Oats
are very light, rye is yielding poorly
and lots Of pieces OF buckwheat will
not be cut. The old system of
plowing every field on the place
every third year and sometimes
oftener will have to be abandoned
and the land kept in pasture.
Alfred Bevans filled his second
silo the past week. The first one
will hold about 65 tons and the new
one about 115 TONS The new is
circular in form and is not under
cover. His dairy of nearly 80 COWS
will undoubtedly get away with the
contents of those silos and more too.
Thursday I walked over the new
road from end to end. The stone
crusher is in position and will be
working this week, The grading is
fast nearing completion and a few
days more will see the bridge abut-

due to the contractor, Mr. Chamber
lain, for the good substantial abut-
ments he is putting up. He
thoroughly understands his busi.

DINGMAN'S FERRY.

Cow buyers wonder why Pike
county farmers persist in breeding
small cattle when they have been
told for years that only larger sized
animals are desired if they wish good
prices.
Ifa few of our boys would attend
the free courses given at the state
college no doubt some Of them would
soon see the importance Of an i'm
proyement in breeding and urge their
neighbors to begin. Blacksmithing,
carpentering and other trades are
taught at the college and if boys do
not wish to stick to the farm they
could learn some other business. For
admission and Information concern
ing the college address Hon. John A..
woodward, Howard, Pa.
So far our schools are progressing
nicely. Growlers and fault finders
have not woke up yet. \
Hick0rynuts on some old trees are
large and well developed but are not
filled.
Workmen have discontinued at the
saWmill on the Frazier lumber tract.
Delay in paying wages is said TO be
the reason. There is over half a
million feet of lumber ready for
market but the railroad did not come
up this summer consequently capital
is tied up.

The Washington Post says that
Democratic Candidate Clark of Ohio
is out-Bryaning Bryan. He is follow
ing the trail blazed by that leader,
by Towne and other calamity shout
ers in 1896 and 1900, apparently un-
mindful Of the fact that the path
leads only to defeat. The Post thinks
that possibly it may not have occurr-
ed to Mr.. Clarke that he is rendering
the republicans valuable service by
appearing in the role of a calamity
howler. The country has had enough
and more than enough Of the orators
Of that school, and Mr.. Clarke's
woe-laden predictions will be repudi-
ated by democrats and republicans
alike.

Richard D. Rollins.

The death of County Treasurer
RD Rollins last Friday was heart
rending in its suddenness and it is
no e1aggeration to say that all Will
liamsburg mourns the loss Of one
Of her best beloved sons. The many
expressions of sorrow that sprans
spontaneously from SO many hearts
bear strongest testimony to the gen.
uine love borne by his fellow-men
toward the man who impressed SC
strongly and indelibly his personality
upon all with whom he came in
contact.
His genial, amiable temperament;
his rare business tact; his willing
ness to accommodate; his ready SYM
pathy-all these and more were the
sterling qualities so closely woven IN
warp and woof of the fabric of bis
being rs to command the love and
esteem of all who knew him.
As an official-capable, courteous
and obliging under all conditions
and circumstances-his place will
: be hard to fill. and in the hearts of the
many who enjoyed his friendship
there is an aching void that time
can only in a measure heal. His
philanthropy and benevolence ex'
tended to all, rich and poor alike
sharing his regard. The life of such
q man is like precious ointment,
whose fragrance is ezhaled long
after the vessel that contains it has
been broken. In like manner will
his deeds of kindness and altrulsm
linger lovingly in the memory OF
those whose lives were made brighter
and happier by having known him.
May he rest i'll peace.

As 70 COURT HOUSE FENCE.
Mr. S. 3. GORDON SIRENuOuSLY
OPPOSS SIT.
Thinks the Monument Would Look
Better in the Middle Of
the Street.

Editor County Record
As much has been said about the
"iron fence" around the court house
BY Mr. Siugletary, Mr. J D Daniel
and yourself, l wish to make u few
remarks also.
To the best of my recollection |
was in the county superv isor's Office,
it may have been two or three years
previous to this time Gas l don't re-
member the exact date), but there
was something said about petition
being gotten up by the people of
Kingstrec to the county commits
sionels S, or to the county supervisor, to
prevent this horse hitching on the
court house square, and the under
standing that | got from the person
with whom | was talking at that
time was that Mr. Chandler did not
intend to notice it. This was one
of the best things that Mr. Chandler
ever did, and just what every county
supervisor should do, if he wishes to
look after the interest of the majority
of the country people. =,
1t is the opinion of others as well
as myself that the Kingstree people
are pushing this scheme, and that
there are vacant lots there that could
be, aud would be fixed up for hitch
ing purposes. These lots would be
rented as money making business
for some of them. Such action as
this would compel the country peo-
pie to carry their horses to the diff
f.rent livery stables, where they
would be liable to catch one, or all
the diseases which horses are subject
to.
There are other things in King
stree near the court house that are
one hundred times worse than hitch
ing horses on the court house square,
and | think Mr. Daniel is making u
mountain out of a mole hill. The
worst things that ever get on the
court house square are the drunk men
and the politicians, who never let
the people rest for electloneering
thenl-the iron fence would not keep
them out.
What do We want with seats on
the court house square? When we
drive twenty gve or thirty miles, do
you suppose that We would have
time to sit on the seats and attend to
our business and get back home the
same day! These seats would bene.
fit no one except the loafers and
politicians, who corner the country
people on election years to have a
talk.
That monument of which Mr.
Daniels speaks would look much bet
ter if placed in the middle Of the
street in front of the court house
door. 1t could be placed in line
with the row of trees in the middle
| of the street, and would be out of
the way, and also where everybody
could see it. If the people of King.
stree want the monument, / don't
think they would object to having
it there.
Respectfully yours.
