When love leads the road is easy.
It isn't what a man has that

out of 1t.
Ever notice how really great men
can easily make you feel at ease

Nothing makes man mad quicker
than being told that he is too old to
to do any particular thing we'll.

Vogue Of Old Novels.

1t is not uncommon to hear elder
ly people lament that no one now
reads the books which were popular
in their young days, and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for a moment compare with the
generation of authors that has pass
ed away, by which they generally
mean Dickens, Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bulwer, Trollope, Bronte,
Hawthorne, etc. We have, however,
every now and then a report from
Librarians of large Libraries which
goes far to disprove the correctness
Of the complaints of these cold
SOULS" since they show that many
of the authors named are still in
great demand by the public and hold
their own very well alongside of the
books which are in favor for the
moment, and it was not little sur
prising to find that in table based
on those reports "David Copper
field" headed the list with per-
centage of 90 and that 'Ivanhoe"

Two Candidates.

The following is from the George
town Daily Item:
The next speaker was Mayor R
Goodwin Rhett of Charleston who
was received with an ovation aud
with a storm of applause when he
closed his 20 minute talk. Mayor
Rhett is considered the business
man of the aggregation, and well
does he sustain the Yputation. He
has the figures of the financial
world at HE finger tips and swayed
them to the CONSERVATION of not a
few who heard him today. He is a
splendid and powerful speaker and
we believe he will make votes by his
straightforward and sledgehammer
blows. Speaking of his impressions
of Georgetown, he said that from
what he saw our city bade fair to be
the metropolis of South Carolina,
so great were her natural advan-
tages.
Mr. E d Smith of Florence was
the third speaker IN the race for
Senator. Mr. Smith, while he is a
forcible talker, is somewhat humor-
Gus and caused considerable amuse-
ment, he is something of an egotist,
as it was himself in all instances
where anything had been accom-
plished for the cotton men of this
State.

'Do you belong to a football

. SPECULATION.
How It Acts as Brake on the Fluc-
tuation Of Prices.

Speculation makes the change in
prices gradual. There is not sud
den drop. 1t is impossible to 50
cure absolute stability Of prices.
and speculation accomp!isEes the
next Lest thing by putting a brake
on fluctuations. 1t is the theory OF
those who dcnouncc all forms Of
speculation that there is no relation
between speculative prices and the
law of supply ard demand. But the
main function of the exchanges Is
to make an absolute free market.
with free competition between buy
ers and sellers. This compels mi
mute regulation of prices. There is
no speculation in potatoes, and the
housewife will tell YOU that the ex-
pectation of bad crop will put the
price up so quickly that she will
have suspicious of the honesty OF
her dealer. When a speculator on
the cotton exchange sells July cot
ton at 1912 cents a pound he is reg
istering his belief based on close
study of conditions at the present
time that before July next cotton
will not be worth 1912 cents Il
pound. He and hundreds of others
try to discount nature and antlci-
pate events, and, as we have seen,
the user of actual cotton utilizes
this situation to his own advantage
and security.

When a KanSan Stops His Paper.
(From the Osborne Farmer.

About two months ago one of our
farmer friends dropped in and
stopped his Farmer. He said he
couldn't afford to take the paper and
Just had to do without 1t. He
dropped it again last Saturday and
planked down $3.50 for a year in
adrance-and then heaved a sigh of
relief. Everything had gone wrong
since theFarmer ceased to visit him.
His chickens refused to lay, his
cows got on the alfalfa and died ,and
his hcgs got the cholera. The rats
gnawed holes in his granary and his
wheat ran out and the birds ate it
up. His windmill blew over and
killed horse and his best shepherd
dog got Il bone in his throat ard
chokeI 10 death. His children got
the measles and his wife mashed her
thumb in the wringer and couldn't
do any house work. Thieves broke
into his smoke house and stole his
winters supply of meats and fire
DESTROYED several stacks of alfalfa.
He bought groceries of travelling
faker and never got them, while his
neighbor escaped because he read in
the Farmer to watch out for crooks.
His days were filled with misfortune
aud bis nights with bad dreams. He
stood 1t two months and then gave
up the unequal struggle.
