open before she says yes.
And now comes the real pint I'd
been boss Of the house, same as all OF

eral for me to keep right on bssslng!
Had the thought Of surrendering the
reins Of government occurred to me!

month the novelty wore off. and
began to assert myself. l took the
bossirg business into my own hands

right up on her hind legs and made

got out ten words to my one. When

and hush her mp she lit into my hair
and pulled it out by handfuls.
"Gentlemen. who bosses the roost!
Mrs. Shorts.
who handles the cash? Mrs. Shorts!
'sWho tells me when / can so and
when shall come? Mrs. Shorts!
Who gives me liberty to draw my
breath? Mrs. Shorts!
I'm only telling you what you ell
know and what is the gossip of the
town. She made up her mind when
she became No. that she'd be the
boss, and she's carried it out. That's
the way with all No. 2's. No. knuck-
les down and lets you do the bossing
and thinks It's all right, but No. 2 is
i! no such chicken. She intended to get
the whip hand when she married you,
and she's going to keep it or raise such
a row that you'll wish you was IN
your grave.
Understand, gentlemen. that I'm
saying nothing agin Mrs. Shorts.
She's iner'n silk. o Lord, but such
pickled peaches as she does put up!
And apple sass-it makes you grin

one Of the incest women in the coun-
try, and hope that she'll outlive me
by twenty years. but have had to use
her as an illustration. She married
me to be boss. and she is boss. same
as all the other No. 2's. I haint ex-
actly saying that the man who loses
No. | shouldn't look for a No. 2. but
I'm saying that if he does he ought
to know what's coming to him and
what he'll be sure to get. I've ut asin

GET YOUR
SAMPLES READY
A Letter From C. H, Carpenter
to Long Staple Cotton
Growers.

We hope that every farmer
read carefully the article that
appeared in last weeks Sentinel
on classifying cotton, The De-
partment of Agriculture at
Washington has begun the
work of assisting our farmers
in cooperative handling and
marketing of cotton Cotton
raised in different sections of
the south vary greatly in value.
Different mills also demand diff
ferent classes of cotton. The
commission is beginning its
work by making a study of
cotton in these different sections.
We think that cotton raised
here is very desirable. Now is
the time to prove it.
The officials in charge of this
work have asked me to secure
for them all data possible. It is
up to our farmers to make this
a success. I wish to get samples
of fine bales to send to Washing
ton. 7 will forward same every
week until February. They
ask that the sample shall be of
sufficient size to enable it to be
graded properly, from four to
five ounces. Place it in a good
paper bag. Write on a slip and
enclose in the bag.
Who raised it and where! The
day sold? The price recei ed?
Who bought it, and the place
sold? Please te very accurate
with these statements.
Cannot we expect some wide
awake man in each community
to assist in showing what his
neighborhood can do? When
you get a few samples together
drop me a postal and I will send
you a tag that will bring them
to me without cost to you.
[ will be in Pickens the first
Monday in December, but would
like samples before then.
G.. H. Carpen ter.

From Six Mile.

The teachers and student
body of the Six Mile Baptist
Academy were the hosts OF sev-
en- visitors from Anderson, S. Z.
These ladies and gentlemen
were especially interested in
school work. Among these
visitors was Rev. William Bolt.
Rev. Mr., Bolt gave US a wonder
full and instructive lecture on
the study of the Old Testament.
Miss Mamie Rutledge and
Miss Berta Jones are going to
represent Six Mile Baptist
Academy in a meeting at Col
umbia this week.
Leo Cantrel and Wesley
James visited friends and re-
latives near Holly Springs
church Saturday and Sunday.
This tour is reported as being a
very pleasant one. The young
men saw much beautiful noun
tain scenery. They took a drive
from NJ. D. Cantrell's down
Nine Times, up Little Eastatoe,
by J. R. Meece's down Oolenoy.
The most important scenery
was Ball Knob and Table Rock
mountains. On their drive they
passed Holly Springs church,
W. r. Prices store, thence
turning southwark through the
Moseley Gap, down the waters
of Twelve Mile river and back
to NJ. D. Cantrel's.
It is a fact not to be doubted
that the boys and girls of the
Piedmont section are among
the very brightest of all the
world. The boys and girls that
are living around the foothills
of these mountains. under the
shadows of these hills, drinking
the water of the sparkling
brooks and breathing the fine
mountain air have a right to be
healthy. We are taught by all
medical authorities that pure
air and water are very neces-
sary to life. With all these
natural advantages these boys
and girls will certainly develop
into strong men and women.
If they have they have strong
bodies they will have strong
minds, for these two 20 together.
All they need to do is to improve
their mental faculties. Let us
wake up to the fact that there
is no better time than the pres
ent, We should take advantage
of school and make the very
best possible. Semej.

A FAMOUS
OLD q
Hopeweu-Keowee Chu
Founded by Gen
and Cox anderson.

A Pendleton commraiication
to the State says:
Last Saturday, November 8
a company of about so peopie'
assembled to witness the un.
yelling of a marble shaft to
mark the ''HopewelI- -Keowee,s
church. This was the Presbv4
terian church founded by Gen
Andrew Pickens and Col. Rob-
Anderson, about 1888 or 1883
It was built of logs and MAS
on Gen. Pickens' farm, abouf
three miles northwest from,
Pendleton. Preaching wascon-
tinued at this church till about
1901 or 1902, when the building
now known as the Old Stone
church, +" was finished, and sen.
vices was removed thither, as IT
was more centrally located.
The first elders of Hopewell-
Keowee were Gen. Andrew
PickeDs, Col. Robert Anderson
and Maj. Dickson, all sol
the Revolution; it's first III
was Rev. John simpsa
Simpson remained bua 4
while and was followed
Rev. Thomas Reese. D.
was pastor till 1895, and
grave was the first in the pres
ent large cemetery at the Stone
church. DR.. Reese was probab-
ly the most learned Presbyterian
minister in his day in the Caro-
linas. and was as good as he
was learned, so that he was q
very fitting pastor for such men
as Pickens and Anderson. "a
Rev. w. 81. Mills Of 81 =
College made the first address,
calling attention to the chief
contribution of these great men.
to the civilization of their own
day as being this that they
were devoted and Jealous IL
their support of the church.
DR.. R. F. Diver of Anderson
spoke on Rev. John Simpson
and his life and labors. Both
these speakers paid eloquent
tributes to Capt J. Miles Pick
ems of Pendleton. to whose un-
tiring zeal this memorial is due
