small Towns Rest.

No stronger portrayal Of the effect of
the cities on our citizenship was ever
made than in those striking words of
Wendell Phillips:
"My ideal of civilization is very
high one. but the approach Of 1t IS a
New England town Of some 1000 in
habitants, with no rich man and no
poor man in 1t, all mingllng In the same
society, every child at the same school,
no poorhouse. no beggar, opportunities
equal. nobody too proud to stand aloof,
nobody too humble to be shut out.
That's New England as it was fifty
years ago. The civilization that lin
gers beautifully On the hillsides of
New England, nestles sweetly In the
valleys of Vermont, the moment it ap'
proaches a crowd like Boston or a
million of men gathered In one place
like New York rots. 1t cannot stand
the greater centers of modern civiliza.

PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT.
Patrons and Friends of Julia Acade-
my Have Good Time.

Here we are at Julia Academy
again ready for 'Just any thing" to
amuse a kindly audience and realize
a remuneration with which to plant
the building.
AS usual for this place no set pro-
gram nothing being arranged for eX-
cept ice cream cake and lemonade for
sale. About four o'clock in the after
noon of 18th instant the members of
The Local Association assembled at
the school house each bringing what
had been assigned them at the last
regular meeting in preparation for
the festival. Every one thought that
was all there would be. In the mean
time and organ. had been placed on
the rostum by Mr.. H. K. Schoenberg,
(who Isl very fond of music) and
thought perhaps he could induce a
.'free will offering" in that line, from
:tjust anybody" for amusement. What
an entertainment grew out of it!
First was duet by Misses Marie and
Galriele Schoenberg, followed by an
smusing recitation by Prof. Williams
of a near by school. While Mr.. Edible
Sharp who is excellent help on such
occasions was hunting up some other
recitation in the audience music was
furnished by Miss Julia Sawyer.\ In
a few minutes Mr.. Sharp returned
to the rostum and announced the
names OF Misses Julia and Bessie
Sawyer. Messrs. Boles, Junelle Liv-
ingston and Prof. Williams again all
of whom entertained with their very
best selections having music at in
tervals. Then to the delight of al.
present the string band from the
HONEYWELL section appeared on the
grounds. in few minutes they
with music, Alma Livingston at the
organ delighted the audience until
every music thirsty soul was feasteG
to its utmost capacity.
Now, the attention was called to-
the fact that upon former occasion
the young lady who received the
slice of cake with a ring in it was
happily married few weeks ago. And
that there was now on hand cake
which contained a thimble bearing
the same omen. Many young ladies
walked and talked for that thumble,
finally fortune placed it in the hand
of Miss Maggie Knots of the Hope
we'll section.
Now for the bachelors, a pipe cane
had been concealed in cake to point
oft to some young man his lonely
path. The cake was numbered, .
cents a guess, the one coming near
est the fatal number was to receive
it. Nobody seemed anxious for that
cake, but alas! Doom alighted on
our young friend Prof. Bob. Sawyer.
The workers have $500 raised
for their trouble. Everybody present
had a "good time and ready for
"iust anything" at Julia Academy
again. One present.

this, none can afford to suffer with
indigestion or stomach troubles. \

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Orangeburg Loses to Rock Hill in u
Poorly Played Game.

Rock Hill took the first game from
Orangeburg in game that was full
of errors from start to finish by a
score Of three to two. Up to the 7th
inning neither side had gotten many
hits. Rock Hill scored one run in
the secoId by Richardson getting his
base on balls and scoring on passed
balls and a fumbled ball.
In the fifth inning Orangeburg
made two runs by bunts and wild
pitches to first When Orangeburg
resorted to bunting the Roch Hill
bunch seemed to be nQnplussed and
before they could steady themselves
Orangeburg had gotten two men over
the home plate. These were the only
runs we made during the game.
In the eighth inning Rock Hill
scored etwo runs, which won the
game for her. In this inning Rich
ardson hit a three Dagger, but luckily
| Rock Hill did not have man on
base. 1t looked at this time as If
Rock Hill was going to pile up the
scores, but when the inning was over
she had only scored two runs, thanks
to the good pitching of Brunson and
the fielding of the other boys. There
were no more scores after this.
The feature of the game was the
kicking of Guy Gunter and other
members of his team. Umpire Hem
rick refused to be bulldozed by Gun
ter and. finally had him removed
from the players grounds. He took
seat on the bleachers. where he
continued to kick fall by himself.
Neither pitcher yielded many hits.
Richardson won the game for Rock
Hill by three bagger in the eighth
inning. He is a good player and a
thorough gentleman.
The following is the box score:

FARMERS HOLD YOUR COTTON
Advice Given by Mr.. Harris, President
of the Union.

President Harris of the State Far.
mers union has issued the follow
ing circular to the $4,000 members
of the order in this State:
Cotton has advanced $3.50 per bale
in 10 days and If we will hold to it
and not be Influenced to sell, it will
in the next 10 days make the same
advance and the minimum will be
reached. Remember the 1907 cron
is 100000 bales short. This makes
cotton scarce. not enough for con-
sumption. Crop conditions the low
est in 20 years.
"On the oath, Texas and Oklaho-
ma were visited by the most destruc-
tive flood that has everr been known.
May 10th, our nationa. rpesi-
dent, C. S. Barrett, issued circular
letter, asking the union men to plow
up 10 per cent of the cotton planted
and put it in food crops. One million
acres has been reported plowed up.
This looks as If the boys mean busi-
ness and will stand behind their guns.
do not listen to those who tell
you to sell, it is going lower, when
they know it will go upward by
June.
do not forget that corn is $1.1C
per bushel and plenty of time to
plant yet. Well filled corn cribs and
smoke houses will always make cot
ton bring the minimum price.
Both the European and American
mills are about out Of cotton, so hold
to your spots and get the minimum
