OF logs and poles and brush and mud
High water had carried along
He broke no soil nor planted seeds,
Contented held his hands:
For food he ate the packers goods
Sealed up in bright tin cans
His focks increased and fattened fine
AS they roamed Ger hill and plain:
At market time he sold them well
And counted much his gain
He churned no butter from his cream
He'd never work like that;
He much preferred to spread his bread
With a little bacon fat
The onward march of progress brought
True settlers to this land:
They came in droves like flocks Of
sheep,
Took "claims" on ev'ry hand
They brought with them their teams
and plows
prepared TO llll Lne SOIL:
They we're sturdy lot of pioneers
And shirked no useful toll
The ranchmen said "Oh, foolish men,
There will surely nothing grow:
'Tis but waste of time and seed.
'TWere better not to SOW
But the settlers their own counsel kept
And broke the stubborn glebe;
When harvest came they often had
Quite plenty for their need.
AND CHOW
Behold the fields of rip ming grain
Now waving in the breeze:
And there great fields of tasSeling
And yonder growing trees
Lo' DER the hills the gentle kline
Feed the livelone days
Their milk and cheese and butter
But an ample margin pays
The towns that grew like "Jonah's
KOurO
Now take on city airs;
They hold their market days and
''sich"
And also County Fairs.
The churches steeples skyward point
The bells sweet tones are heard;
The people list to the Holy man
While he explains the "Word.'
The schoolma'am trains the "young
Ideas''
10 ''shoot At proper marks;'
Tells them all what Uncle Sam
Has done in foreign parts.
The iron horses snort and steam
With many pull and tug;
AS freight for all the peoples needs
Up heavy grades they lug.
The business men in conference meet
And plan for better things;
In what way best to boost their town
Hope scars on golden WINGS
The merchants do heavy trade
With al the country DER;
And each piles his ample shelves
With merchandise galore.
Each man In business spreads his
"biz'
Before the peoples eyes;
Thus proving the old adage true
1T pays to advertise.
Two printing presses clink and clank
One prints the weeks Reviews"
The other labors much the same
And thus we get the ''News.'
The Hello Girl" sticks pins and plugs
And answers every call;
Knows everybody's business, too,
The markets rise and fall.
A fiash, streak, : cloud Of dust
Lifts high In yonder air;
/. We stand amazed, but soon we see
"Tis IN automobile there.
Substantial homes Are being built
Where once the asttlsr's shack
Stood like some lonely sentinel

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles OF the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have atb-
letes and strong men-men fed ON
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win IN any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 2
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems OF black specks FARM
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you live In a hot cli-
mate buy Quaker Oats in herinetically
sealed tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh.

THE FOREST SURVEY OF THE
STATE.
The Federal Forestry Bureau TO Con.
duct the Work.

Columbia, Sept. 3O.-A forestry
survey of the State viii be made ac-
cording to a letter received today
from the associate forester of the
govern mt by Governor Ansel. 1t
was stated in the letter to the Cover
nor that Mr.. w. NJ Moore, of the
forestry service, wound leave Wash
ington today and would arrive in Co
iumbia tomorrow, and asked for a
conference with the Governor. South
Carolina will give s200 towards the
work, and the government will fur
nish the other funds required.
All sections of the State will he
touched in the work. 1t is probable.
and typical example is, that several
streams in the Piedmont section of
the State will be given attention most
closely. A survey has been asked for
that section of Spartanburg County
forming the watershed of the Pacolet
River. to determine the possibility Of
controlling the food waters of that
stream by reforestration of the Sec
ton and by building reservoirs below
the junction Of North an South Paco-
let to take care of the flood waters.
Similar requests have come from
other sections of the Piedmont coun-
try. Should the survey be made it
would i'm all probability make it pos
sible for the manufacturing plants Of
that section. not only to benefit them
selves by establishing such reservoirs,
but in time to add materially to the
prosperity of the low country by saw
ing them from the disastrous floods
which I'm recent years have visited
them almost annually, have rendered
OF no avail the fertile lands which in
FORMER years contributed so largely to
the prosperity of that section.
The matter of reforestatio has
been agitated very little i'm this State
and should it come about in connec-
ton with the forestry survey the en-
tire state would be benefited.

the BLACK TRIAL.
EARLY PAID JOHN BLACK AROJT
$1,000 ON THE DEAL.
These Show the Transactions, the Ex-
Dispensary Directors Brother Fig.
urlng I'm the Transfers-Early Con-
tributes to Elack's Election.

Columbia, Sept. 3O.-Good progress
was made in the John Black dispen.
sary graft trial today, but the indica-
tions today are that it will not get
to the jury before Saturday, morning.
1t was still the prosecutions day for
scoring and some interesting testi-
monN was introduced, the first from
the liquor drummer, John T. Early,
mentioned in the indictment as hay
ing bribed Major Black and who has
turned States evidence, and next by
employees of the National Bank of
savannah and the Bank Of Colleton.
1t WIS shown that Black during the
spring summer and fall Of 1905, and
in the spring and sumemr of 1907 de-
posted q total of over $4,000, this
by the detailed deposits lips, and that
right after this he transferred most
OF this to Collcton, using his brother,
Henry w. Black, Jr. The transfer
was shown by Blacks own checks
ind drafts. Then this was further
certified by the banks ledger.
The Colleton Banks records show
ed John Black making drafts on
Henry w. Black, from Columbia and
the latter paying them at Colleton
with drafts on Ullman & Co., and
on M. A. Goodman.
Early testified to letting Black hav.
money to get elected, and that he
paid him commissions on orders af-
terward, paid him about $1,000 in all.
Elack came to him before his elec-
tion and told him ne was hard up
Early complained of not getting or
ders from the former board, and
Black told him not to worry, that he
would see he got orders when he
(Black) got elected. He got the or
ders and paid the commissions.
The cross-examination was direct.
ed to showing that Black was indebt-
ed to Goodman for loans, and as
there had been a quarrel between
Goodman and Black about pay COM
ing to him when Black was employed
by Goodman at $500 a month before
he was on the board, and was bor-
rowing money from Early to pay
Goodman.
The State replied with the showing
that Black had plenty Of money on
deposit at Savannah, and was still
collecting money from Goodman. The
defense brought out that the accoun,
OF Fleischmann, represented by Ear
~, was being held up by the State ia
the amount of $4,000. and Early's
testimony was given in the hope mol
only Of escaping prosecution, but e1
having this claim released.
Early testified he had been promi
sed immunity Early said the orders
on which commissions were paid
We're at the seme price to the State
as If no rebates or commissions hat
been paid. The State did not get ar
opportunity to disprove this.
