This article is written especial
" for the kids of various towns
who make a habit OF chasing
out after every little girl in town
or country whose petticoats
reach below their knees, with
the purpose Of inflicting matri-
mony upon some poor victim. A
raw hoy without dollar pres
ent 1,r prospective, sparkling reg
ulai and talking about marry
ing is a spectacle for gods and
men. He should be reasoned
with and if he will not quit it
until he is able to support wife
and to know why he loves and
the difference between love and
chick en-pox, he should be quar-
antiped or put in a convent
erected for such cusses. Nine
tentbs Of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human
calves being allowed to run
loose in che society pasture with
out any yokes on them. They
marry and have children before
they have moustaches; they are
the fathers of twins before they
are the proprletors Of two pairs
Of trousers, and the little girls
they marry are old women be
fore they are twenty Occasion
ally one of these gosling mar
riages turns out all right, but it is
clever piece of luck. If there
was a law against Young galoots
sparkling and marrying before
they cut their eve teeth, We sup
pose. the little, cusses would evade
it some way, but here ought TO
be sentiment against It at least.

TO SUBSCRIBE ACREAGE
Farmers and Truck Growers
Very Enthusiastic Over
Erection Of Sailing Staten
For Pickles.

Erection OF Sailing Staten
For Pickles.
There is no doubt but that the
Squire Dingee Company of Chi
cago will erect a sailing station
at Eagle River this spring in or
der to take care of the crop ot
cucumber pickles to be marketed
by farmers in a section surround
ing the village, as far north as
Nonover and south to CIearwa-
ter Further than that the com.
pany will without any trouble
whatever. secure more than the
One hundred acres required to
bring the station to Eagle River.
At the public meeting held in
the court house Wednesday last
about thirty acres was agreed
20, be planted with cucumbers.
Mr. McHugh representing the
Squire Dingee Pickle Co. of Chi
eago, spoke before the audi
ence about the plans of the com
pany and the contracts. Con
ditions were bad to allow a large
gathering Of the farmers owing
60 the inelcmency of the weather
put there is no doubt at all
about the required acreage being
planted
Farmers and truck growers
should take all the acreage pos
sible in a move like this" said
Hans Hanson of the Pioneer lake
district, who was in Eagle River
Monday. Raising any kind of
a crop is a chance we all must
take. No farmer can tell if the
season will be just right for a
crop, and after it is harvested
does not know whether he will
get bonanza price or lose mon
ey on the deal With a stated
price, like we will get for our
pickles, the farmer knows just
what his products will bring
when harvested. Of course the
size OF the crop will depend upon
the season But every farmer
should be willing to take the
risk" Herman Rade, farmer
IL the Saltenberger district, has
grown cucumbers for the Heinze
Company and can give informa
ton that will convince the skep-
teal as to the practicability of a
cucumber crop as a money pro
ducer.
This picking concern furnishes
free of charge 20 she farmer the
necessary seed. with instructions
as to the planting culture and
harvesting of the crop Whether
the crop is a success or failure,
the seed is free The company
will; pay 40 cents per bushel Tor
field run pickles from one and
one-half to five inches in length,
OF if the grower wishes to sort
and size his pickles, will give him
sixty cents for his product.
The crop artist will find he IS
making a great error if he DOES
not subscribe literally for pickle
acreage-all he can take care OF,
Cash is paid upon delivery OF
product at the factory.
At time Of going to press there
has been SO acres subscribed
with Conover and Clearwater
vet to hear from.
February first is the time limit
ed for the subscribing Of 100
acres or more to insure the ioca-
ton of the sailing station.

TOrrens System Commission.


Although in the rush of business
the Torrens resolution has been lost
sight of, 1T is most probable that the
General Assembly will name a COM
mission to investigate the Torrens
land system Of recording deeds and
to report to the next General AS
sembly.
This idea originated in the senate,
a resolution providing for commits
sion being introduced by Senator Car
Isle, Of Spartanburg.
The senate thought that the Torrens
system was too serious q proposition
to take up this year and adopt some
sort of measure without fully going
into the matter. So the resolution of
Senator Carlisle was adopted and sent
over 10 the House.
The House, having killed the regu-
lar Torrens bill, or continued it until
next session, which means the same
thing, will probably pass the resolu-
ton.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON DIVORCE.
Catholic Prclate Speaks Strongly
Against Moral ScOurage."

Baltimore, Feb. 5.-In his sermon
delivered at the Cathedral this morn
ing, Cardinal Gibbons spoke strongly
against the evils of divorce, saying in
part:
IF Christianity is the highest type
CT civilizatiOn-and who can deny it
then is it not true that We are retro
grading instead of advancing on GER
tain lines?
There is a social SOURCE more
blighting and more destructive of
family life than Mormonism. 1t is
the fearfully increasing number of
divorce mills throughout the United
States. These mills like the mills Of
the gods, are slowly hut surely grind
ing to powder the domestic affairs Of
the nation. Husbands and wives are
separated on the most fimsy pretexts.
One State has the unenviable distinct
ion Of granting a bill Of divorce for
the mere asking of it, on the sole
condition Of a brief sojourn within
her borders.
"A lady. prominent in society life,
once said to me in Newport: 'I do
not recognize any law, human or di-
vine, that can deprive a husband or
wife Of their right to separate and
enter fresh espousals when they do
not live in harmony together
You speak, 1 replied, of your
rights, your privileges. But you have
not a word to say of your duties and
Obligations
"Ah, my brethren, if men and wo-
men had due consideration for their
duties and responsibilities, their rights
would take care Of themselves. There
can be no rights where there are no
corresponding obligations. There are
no rights against the law of God"

ONE GRANTED, ONE REFUSED
Governor Pardons White Man Con-
yictcd OF AssauIting Negro Girl.

Columbia, Feb. 2.-Robert Gunnells,
a captain In the 1st South Carolina

war, who was convicted several years
ago in Greenville County on the
charge of committing a criminal as

WANTS BATTLE GROUND MARK
ED
Erected on Site OF Battle OF Dingle's
Mill
Editor Of Watchman and Southron:

Editor Of Watchman and Southron:
Please allow me to make a sug-
gestion in the columns of your paper
which I think quite proper. There
should be some mark placed to show
the site of the battle of Dingle's mill.
This battle was gallantly fought by
a few old veterans and young men,
hastily summoned on that eventful
Sunday morning. April 8. 1865, and
a body consisting Of five regiments of
infantry a battery Of artillery and a
squadron of United States troops.
This small band Of men with two
field pieces Of artillery by we'll direct
ed shots held at bay this overwhelm-
ingly large force for several hours.
visited this historic spot last
October with Comrade w. O. Cain,
and several large trees show plainly
the scars Of artillery fire from our
two guns. in justice to the two
young lieutenants, w. A. Mcqueen end
Pamperay, who lost their lives and
their guns in the unequal contest,
and those who died since and the liv-
ing, l am almost convinced that with
proper management, simple marble
slab or brass tablet could be erected
by popular subscription, legislative or
council appropriation, or some plan
that would most likely succeed; the
names Of the actual participants in
the battle to be placed on the tablet.
The names could be obtained by
the few surviving participants in this
fearful ordeal and a complete roster
Of artillery which did the most execu-
tions.
l can name few Of those who
were in the battle. The brave James.
Dargan, now deceased, j. D. Wilder,
and / think Coroner Flowers, VIM. Nj.
Reid Of St. Charles and others were
there. 1t would be spot to be visit
ed by strangers and. besides commem-
Grating the memory Of those who fell
and marking a historic spot in which
we are very Indifferent, it would be
we'll to have 1t marked from a his
torical standpoint. Many costly
monuments have been erected to gem
erals. A simple tablet would indeed
be appropriate to mark the spot of
the private soldier who so cheerfully
risked his life and made this defense
against fearful odds at Turkey creek.
On the battlefield Of Gettysburg, a
brass tablet on Confederate Avenue
marks the spot where Gardens bat
tery made the terrible assault on
Round Top. Some NJ tho Same men

heights were in this fight at Turkey
creek. 1 hope you will publish this
and 1 hope it may
suggest some plan for a suitable tablet
which the Game Cock county would
be proud to show to a rising gener-
alton. 1 will gladly lend any feeble
effort in my power and would like to
hear suggestions from others on the
subject Yours truly,
