Worse Than an Infidel.

The good book says that man
who does not care for or look after
the welfare of his family is worse
than infldel." This may be applied
with equal force to the man who
takes no interest in the town In
which he lives, for in very real
sense the town is his home which he
shares with the other people living In
it. Therefore to speak adversely OF
ones town, to say no word in Its
favor, to habitually go elsewhere to
trade and be Indifferent to home bus
iness-all this is not only unpatriot-
ic, but it is very much the same as
if man should 60 around to his
neighbors and find fault with his do
mestic home and every member in 1t.

Norway Dots.

/ Mrs. Mary Young of Norway has
Just returned to her home. She has
been spending a few weeks with her
friends and parents at Salley. She
Is the oldest daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. X. Corbitt and was married
to Mr.. Holley Young of Norway. Mr..
Young has been in bad health for a
year or more, but we are glad to say
he is mending now. Not very long
ago they lost their sweet little baby
Thelma Mozell. Her sweet little
spirit took its flight to the great be.
yond where sorrow is not known.

Raise 1t at Home.

The Sumter Herald says. "A
Sumter merchant recently bought q
car load Of corn from a western
point. The corn cost him $500; tho
freight on it was within little OF
$3.50. To make a selling price he
had of course to include the freight
with the first cost. The corr. sold
for seventy-five cents a bushoi If
the corn had been raised at home
that is had cost only for the grair
and not for the freight, the price t.
the consumer would have been about
sixty cents a bushel. The point
this is that South Carolina should
raise it's own corn.

Coal Chute Burned.

Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock
the coal chute of the Southern Rail-
way company at Branchville was de-
stroyed by fire. The fire was dis
covered by an engineer and fireman
as they we're taking coal. 1t is sup
posed to have caught from a spark
from an engine. There were about
250 tons Of coal in the chute, and
when it fell it covered the main line
about 10 feet deep, and delayed
traffic about six or seven hours, un-
til track could be build around the
mass of burning coal. A water tank
about 20 yards from the chute,
which has just been completed, was
also destroyed.

Easter is Coming.

Lent begins next Wednesday. How
Ash Wednesday and the Lent season
are reckoned seems to be a mystery
to some people. Lent always is reck-
oned from Easter Sunday, but to
many people this is equally mysteri-
GUS. Easter Sunday always Is the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring exquinox, March FL.
If the full moon is on Sunday, Easter
is the Sunday following. Easter
comes April 16 this year. Lent al
ways is forty days before Easter.
There usually are six Sundays inter-
vening, but they are not counted in
the forty days. This makes Lent al
ways begin on Ash Wednesday. It
always is preceded by Shrove Tues

Pretty Big Gobbler.

The Dorchester Eagle says: cat
the home of Mr.. S. E. Fielder in the
Holly Hill section Of Orangeburg
county, we saw last week some OF
the finest bronze turkeys we have
ever seen grown in this State. There
are in the lot about II head, and
one gobbler, by actual weight, tipped
the scales at 81 pounds. If this
turkey was fattened it would easily
weigh As pounds. Last year from
this drove of turkeys about SIS was
realized from the increase and still
larger profits are expected the com
ing season." That was pretty big
gotbler, sure.

REAL ]. TEST OF Love
DOROTHY DIX GIVES TEE GIRLS
81 AN INFALLABLE RULE.
How to Distinguish BetWeen the
Near, Complaint and That Which
is Chronic.

r =
"A young woman, says Dorothy Dix,
asks me If can give her any reliable
recipe S;by$-means aof which she can
diagnose her own feelings and tell
whether she. Is IN love or not. She
says she is engaged to be- married :, to g
a.nice young s1nan; but that she, does
not thrill at his approach as the he.
roest Of novels do: under such eircum-
stances, and this leaves her in doubt
as to the real state, Of her feelings:
ss'E First, should say, BY the amount
Of a mans yawning. A poet has
said: "Unless you can muse in a
crowd all day on an absent face that
has fixed you, then never say you
love. . Rats! Anybody can muse on
Ian, absent face. Hts the present face
that isstbe trouble, and unless you
can spend, say, a long, hot: summer
day in joyous conversation: with a
man, and still pine for more Of his
society when it is over instead Of
feeling that you are candidate for
a rest cure, then you may be very
sure you areanotsiE love. <iss3 =. -.
The second test is to call a halt on
the love making, and see if you'll
like the manras well when he is dis
cussing the political situation, or the
financial outlook, as you do when he
is telling you that you are the most
beautiful creature on earth, with the
most fascinating ways, and that he
fell in love with you at first sight:
All Of us, little sister, just warm
up to man while he is fattering us,
as kitten snuggles up to5'a hot
brick. Unfortunately, however, the
language of 7matrimony Is not
couched in complimentary terms,
and the question is whether a man
has charm for you that will make
you hang upon his .utterances, no
matter what he says, or whether you
merely enjoy him because he jollies
you: -. -, ,!.-.5r
A third test of love Is to be found
in whether the man, alone. is sui.
ficient to you or whether he has to
be .perpetually Offering achromo with
himself; to get you to take him. If
you, prefer spending the evenings
with him, quietly conversing in the
back. parlor, you may be- sure that
you are hard hit for keeps; but IT
you like him best when he is taking
you to, the theater, or out to supper,
or, doing something else for your
amusement, you are not genuinely
in:love. You care more for the good
times he gives you than you do the
man. Il5lsE.,5 ..r,
