Swansea.

On our trip to Swansea last week
we found everything rocking along
smoothly. The merchants-all of them
hopeful of having large trade a
little later in the season. New cot
ton is beginning to come in and the
farmers are paying their debts, as
they should do. They are not buying
to any great extent yet. The mer-
chants are receiving new goods by
every train, and in few days all will
be ready for the big fall business. The
Bank of Swansea is erecting a hand
some and commodious banking house
of compressed brick, opposite the
store of Lybrand & Lybrand, and
when completed will be an ornament
to the town and credit to the insti-
tuition. The bank has made most
creditable showing indeed, and it's
business is destined to grow. Hutto
Brothers are the contractors. Other
buildings are going up, and on every
side the hand of prosperity is in evi-
dence. There is no finer business CEN
ter than Swansea.

Letter to Mayor Taylor.
Lexington, S. @.


Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes; it teaches few
some things; it's a mighty slow school
though, that same experience.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise;s they are wasting
half their money and fuss. They're
so sure they are wise, they die as
they live. paint-foolish. Experience
teaches them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and go by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
high, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don't they
pay low? They know that milk isn't
dear or cheap by the price of a quart;
that the milk has something to do
with it. They don't buy "cheap"
milk; but they buy "cheap" paint
and pay double. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago lead-and oil; exhausted
that. Then tried something else; it
was better or worse. Then Devoe;
it cost about half and wore twice as
long. That's how experience teaches
some of US.
Yours truly,

FRUIT AND TRUCK GROWERS.

On September 4, there VIII pe
a grand rally at Dodson OF those
interested in the new methods oi
cultivating the soil. under the
auspices of the Fruit and Truck
Growers Association at Wlnn
Parish. This gathering Will prove
to be an attractive one from
several standpoints. An interest
ing program is being formulated
for the discussion of the practical
questions bearing upon the most
successful methods for the cul-
tivation of fruits and garden
products and their utilization for
tie supply of canned goods.
This movement among the
agricuIturalists of Winn is a
highly important one, and II
carried to practical solution,
will add very materially to the
profits of the cultivatOrs. as well
as supply the public demand for
canned goods, that enter so large
| ly into consumption of fruits and
vegetables in the urban centers.
Not only is this one phase OF
the subject, but there is another
of greater significance. The fruit
and truck growers will become
the benefciaries of what they
produce, and the establishment OF
home canning factories will keep
ut home a very large capital that
Is sent abroad annually 10y
merchants and dealers, to supply
the demand. So this will be-
come an industry that will work
both ways-supply a ready market
for what Is produced, and keep
in circulation at home the i'm
mense capital that is sent abroad.
This is a thoroughly practical
movement that cannot help but
prove helpful and beneficial. if
systematically carried out. What
has proven successful and remun-
erative abroad, should equally
become so if practically adopted
at home. 1t depends on the in
dusty on the farms and the
!iberality. energy and determine
tion of capital at home. The
solution of the problem is the
cultivation of these products and
the establishment of canning
fsctoriesin conjunction Herewith.

as we'll as unmake them. The
thoughts of the inner man make
the brain power. Mayhap they
may paint sweet flowers from the
land of visions and exhume a
fragrance that comes up from the
depths of the soul like some elixir
from the realms of purity.
Why should not old men dream
dreams and revel in the delights
of sweet visions? Does the heart
and brain grow o.d because the
frosts of the years have sprinkled
the locks with its snowY or the
burrows of time have scanned the
once smooth brow and cheeks and
left their impress in unseemly
wrinkles? What effect have these
outward signboards of the f1eeting
years on the freshness and COOL
hess of the inner fountain Of ] fe,
where the pellucid-waters, laugh
ing as they flow through the chan
nels of thought. bubbled forth
with the freshness and crystal
purity of eternal youth?
Bah! as if any maa could ever
grow old whose hear. and soul is
ever baptized in the sparkling
fountain of the spring-time of life.
When he can look out of the
shadows that are constantly cir
cling about him and catch the
CLINT of the golden sunbeams Of
promise. and see only the beauty
of the fairest landscape scene
limned against the far away hori-
zon of the azure depths beyond.
So he can sit down by the pei
lucid waters of thought and gather
inspirations from the murmur of
its rills, drink in scenes of beauty
from its outstretched wales. with
their cooling shades; sit under the
grateful shade of its sheltering
trees, and inhale the rich fragrance
of its blossoms and quaff the re-
freshing elixir of new life.
There are no weighty cares
pressing on the heart like some
incubus. Ii bubbles and dances
and flutters with a joyousness akin
t the purity of an innocent and
artless child. and it goes singing
on its way in careless glee. There
are no obstacles in the pathway.
There are no cruel thorns to lacer-
ate the heart and make 1t shed
crimson drops of pain. Serene,
bright. beautiful, no storm clouds
disturb its serenity or cast their
black shadows across its azure
expanse.;
So the -old age Of the years is
renewed in the youthfulness of the
heart. Out of its depths there
/ flows only lovely scenes of attrao-
t ve beauty, and out of its dreams
come the melody of rich voices
whose harmonious rhythm soothe
the soul into the magnetic realm
of content and tighten with a
fresh glory the path way that leads
