Day Of Wonderful Things.

'a / Il #
While there is nothing new under
the sun, "yet the new application OF old
laws and new uses to which old things
are being put in this inventive age
make it appear that something new
bobs up almost every day. While some
scientists are endeavoring to conquer
the air with "dirigibles," monoplanes
and bi-planes, others are going beneath
the surface of terra frma for new
fields.
Long ago the underground railway
has been demonstr ated to be practica-
bic, especially for short distances, but
now they tell us that tunnel has been
planned that will connect the cities of
Chicago and New York, being some
thing ike a thousand miles in length.
This subterranean highway is to be
used for the telephone and telegraph
wires, and for the transmission of
package freight.
Iadeed this is day of wonderful and
gigantic undertakings. Wonder what
will come next? Maybe the chasm, or
whatever you may choose to call it,
between the earth and Mars will yet
be bridged by the Yankees.

A Change Needed.

Adecade or more ago when farmers
suffered from the low price of cotton
year after year, there was good ground
for the enactment of a law providing
for the extension of the time for the
payment of taxes. But now that cot
ton, the leading money crop of our peo-
pie, has come into its own and is bring
ing somethinglike itsreal value. it is
not in keeping with sound business
methods to extend the ,time for the
payment of taxes beyond the year for
which they are levied.
* AS far as possible, all business mat
ters of the county should beclosed up
at the end of each year, certainly at
the close of each administration, but
this is now impossible, as the bulk of
the taxes are not paid until about 60
days after the fiscal year closes.
Notwithstanding the fact that taxes
for1910 are now due, the county board,
We understand, had To borrow money
at its last meeting in order to pay the
current expenses of the county. The
board did right, but the point we wish
to make is that there should be no ne
-cessrty for borrowing money in Decem-
ber, and there would not be were it
mandatory that all taxes be paid by
the close of the year.
furthermore, the present system
works a hardship on the poorly paid
teachers of the county. When they dis
count their claims it is frequently for a
period of Is months, instead of IL.
Under the present system, as we un-

and did so, two bottles of the prepa-
ration putting my stomach into
good condition. Previous to my
taking the New Discovery l could
not eat meal without expert encing
pain and discomfort afterward.
II had been in this condition for
a long time, although I had tried
many different remedies in search
of relief, and at last reached the
conclusion that 1 had exhausted
every available resource. Cooper's
New Discovery was therefore to me
almost a heaven-sent blessing, and
the work of the medicine was so
permanent and lasting that / have
had no recurrence of my former
trouble whatever.
II can eat anything / care for
without noticing any bad effects at
terward. I have recommended
Cooper's New Discovery to many
persons of my acquaintance, and it
never fails to give satisfactory re-
suits. 1t reaches the seat of stomach
trouble in mighty short order.
Persons who are suffering from
stomach disorders will find in Coop
er's New Discovery a most potent
remedy. There is heavy demand
for the Cooper preparations, for
which we are agents in this commu-
nity.-(Penrr & Holstein.)

derstand it, a school warrant that was
issued IN November 1910 may not be
paid before February 1912. Whereas,
if the taxes levied for 1911 were paid
by the.close of that year these teach.
ers' warrants would be cashed not la
ter than December 1911.
We confidently believe that a change
to the old system would be better for a
majority of the people. 1t is not In
frequently the case thst an individual
will have the cash In hand to pay his
taxes before Christmas but as the law
provides for delay the moneyis spent,
and the tax payer has to borrow the
necessary money in the spring before
the penaltyis added.

News of Two Counties Over the
Phone.

Soon after reaching home Mon
day evening-about ''fust dark as
the colored man would say-our
telephone rang. We of course
thought it was some one in town
calling us up; SO, imagine our sur
prise when we distinctly recognized
the voice of our genial friend,
Charlie Davis, who was in his home
at Fruit Hill. lit required but a lit
tie strain of mental vision TO see
the smile that always plays upon
Charles face when he greets his
friends. Charlie and the writer
rather the speaker or talker then
exchanged news more rapidly than
a photograph could record. We
told him what was going on in.
Edgefeld county and he came back
at us with the doings of the Saludl-
ans.
Charlie urged us to send them a
few Bob Smiths up there. He says
they are needed to wake folks up,
causing them to make more hog
and hominy" at home.
He said the Fruit Hill school has
the best teacher in three states, or
words to that effelt. She is. an
Edgefeld young lady, of course, one
of which we are very proud, Miss
Rehie Morgan.
Charlie has killed three big hogs
and will slaughter three more this
week. He says he would be in line
shape for Christmas but for his
thumb that was cut off-rather
shredded-some time ago in gin.
We asked him if he were not old
enough to keep his thumb out of a
gin-head. He said, like all other
thoughtless fellows, having fooled"
with it SO much, he forgot that it
would cut anything except cotton.
By the way, CHI arlie said thumbs
are not the only things that have
been under the knife around Fruit
Hill. A certain prominent lady a
few mornings ago put her finger
too far in sausage mill and a good
portion of the end was nipped off.
Be careful how you operate so
harmless a machine as sausage
grinder.
Charlie asked about the sundry
railroad rumors, stating that he
would like to reach Edgefeld by
rail as5well as by telephone.
Last, but by no means least, our
friend urged the speaker" to come
up and eat sausage and spare-ribs
and back-bones and other good
things with him next Sunday,
Christmas day. We would certainly
accept his very kind invitation, had
we not already promised Mrs. San
ia Claus and the children that the
day would be spent quietly around
our fre-side-not quietly" either,
for there is no quietude where chill
dren and horns and pistols and
drums have right-of-way.
Telephone and telegraph instru-
ments make neighbom of all hui
manity, eliminating space entirely.
Whether one block or a thous and
miles separate them, friends can
converse over the wires as easily
and satisfactorily as if it were only
over the garden wall. Charlie Davis
talked with man in Atlanta over
the wires a few days ago with the
same ease that he conve rsed with
us in Edgefeld.
