demand, and If farmer does not
keep posted on these points he
should not blame others for taking
advantage of his ignorance. In
contrast with the foregoing state
ments, l saw man who claimed to
have saved $4,000 on his onion Drop
by. acting on information contained in
that paper as to the shortage of the
onion crop. AS medium for il,for-
nation, a record of actual experience
of farmers, both in success and in
failure, and of experimental tests of
various kinds by the experimental
stations of the different States, there
is no paper that will take the place
of live farmers paper. A farmer
ought to subscribe for as many as
his means and time for reading, will
allow. But if he takes only one and
follows the advice and suggestions
contained therein he will be sure to
advance in his calling. Love for his
work and self respect not depend
ent on the opinions of others, will be
strengthened. He will be stimu-
lated TO beautify his home and im-
prove his surroundings and to pro-
cure for himself and his family com
forts enjoyed by others. He will be
enabled to appropriate the experience
of others, to plan economically and
syste matioally and to carry these
plans to a practical consummation.
The picture which most writer's
draw of farmers life is one of
drudgery, but / see no reason why
the farmer should not enjoy The
pleasure and comforts of life.
One of the noticeable events of the
last few years is the rapidity with
which the farmer has come to the
front. Every class is showing him
attention. The railroads-long con-
sidered an obstinate enemy-are be-
ginning to reach out helping hand
by cooperating with growers directly
in the matter of marketing crops.
The banks are accommodating and
the merchants are anxious for his
patronage. Of course this is not out
of disinterested love for the farmer,
but they realize that it is to their
interest to cooperate cordially with
the farmer. The farmer will find it
to his interest to encourage friendly
relations with every class that can
help to advance his business and to
study the taste and demands of con-
sumers. AS intelligence and prac-
tice in business methods increase
among farmers, they find that they
are in large measure independent
of the retail dealer. They can buy
at wholesale prices and retain the
profits for their own use, instead of
passing it to the retail dealer. At
the present time all farm produce is
high, and the farmer will probably
be tempted to overorop himself and
to forget that home making and not
moro money-getting, should be the
object of his toll. While he can fur
nisb his family with many neces-
saries and luxuries at nominal cost,
still some money is needed for other
things, and he should have an eye to
enterprise and use discriminating
judgment when deciding upon his
money crop. hope that every
reader of this paper will study his
particular line of business 80 success
fully that the end of the year will
find him with a clean balance sheet
and satisfying surplus.-L. G. Hol-
land, Ninety-Six, S. @.

CAN'T, the most facile writer that

recommendation Col. Grant was en-

The Walha!Ia Circuit Parsonage.

From The Southern Christian Ad-
vocate of last week we take the fol-
lowing letter, written by Mrs. w.
A. Rogers. Mrs. Rogers has taken
it upon herself to assist in collecting
enough money to finish paying for
the Methodist parsonage in West

the parsonage free from debt, and he
is receiving much encouragement
from different sources. The mem

In the Province of Baden a mo-

owner was indignant and demanded
3 shillings damages. The motorist
offered him 2 shillings damages, plus
the goose, which he did not want to
carry off. Not being able to come to
terms the parties went to the mayor,
who delivered the following judg-
ment: "Mr. Sepp, give me your
goose, inasmuch as you do not want
it. Mr.. Motorist, give me the two
shillings you are willing to pay as
damages. l give Mr.. Sepp 1 shilling

Fair Play Notes.

Fair Play, May 2.-The Fair Pay
people are rejoicing in what they
believe to be the real advent of
spring along with the blessing (P) of
the ladies' summer costumes and
millinery.
The church services were well
attended both morning and after
noon. The morning service was
Rev. j. B. Herron's regular appoint
ment, as also was the Saturday con-
ference meeting, both of which, he
filling in his usual powerful and
vigorous style, gave helpful inspira-
tion to us all. In the afternoon Rev
w. B. Hawkins, pastor of the Town
vile Baptist church, preached a
forceful sermon on "Rest." This is
the first time Brother Hawkins has
preached to US, but his appreciative
hearers hope that it will be far from
the last. He has made many friends
among US.
Messrs. X. w. Marett and Cor
nelius Davis, of Westminster, were
in our midst Sunday. We were
glad to see the familiar faces of our
old friends. We only wish they
wo d come home oftener.
Miss Cornelia Marett, now of
Westminster, was at church Sunday
morning. Her many friends were
happy in greeting her once more.
We were glad to see Mrs. F. M.
Davis able to be out among us again.
Somehow it seems more natural to
see her kind face among our mothers
in the "corner pews."
Misses Pauline and Myrtle Barton
were among the visitors who heard
Rev. Hawkins. These are two of
Anderson county's beautiful and in
tellectual young women.
