WHY TRAVEL FOR THIS?

Many people travel to far distant points for a change of climate7 to build up their strength.
 Now what does this change of cIim- ate do for them? Usually if it does any good at all, it's effect is to make them eat more.
 But if you need more strength and can't afford the time anG expense of travel you need not be discouraged.

backed by love for the political
game, combined with keen insight into
character.
Mr. Loeb is Of German descent. The
straitened financial circumstances
of his parents forced him TO leave
school before he had finished the
course and prohibited any thought of
a college education. He took up the
study of law, but finding that slow and
improbable he studied stenography
between times and later branched out
into shorthand reporting
From the start he was interested in
politics and worked hard for his dis

news that would interest your read

Everything seems to be quiet on
the Ridge and not very much sick
ness that have heard of and no
deaths to report. :H., > -;
We have had very rough Writer
and the farmers have done no faftn
work. such asaplowing. Several of
them intended sowing more oats in
February but it looks now like they
will not get to. What was sown In
the fall have been damaged by the
treezes but those isown in good open
burrows are standing the cold fairly
we'll. We have had all kinds of
weather this winter: Who ever saw
the trees covered with ice and the
sun shine all day. and did not melt
it off? That was the case one day
this winter. The Dutch tell us il
ice hangs on the trees the 14th of
February we will have a good fruit
year. If so We will have plenty of
fruit this year.
Well, what have Jour law makers
done for us the present session?
They have done a lot of wrangling
about the old dispensary and about
who had the right in appointing
magistrates and who had the honor
In securing the lowest rate of inter.
est on a. portion of our State bonds,
etc. 1t reminds me-: OF a church
where there are several young ladies'
who are striving to see who will be
the organist on certain occasions.
You may bet your dollar that the
appropriations will not be neglected.
What's the matter with our State
house that there is need of one mil
lion dollars to be expended on it?
Now why not put the amount four
million, tear down the old building
and build a new one like We have
done in our county and this, too, on
credit? 1t ia just like poor people
trying to keep up with the wealthy.
or l might say it is like man with
all he has on his body and not a
dollar in his purse. If you want to
find out what he is worth, although
apparently we'll to do, go to his
home and you'll find out. So just
go to New York or other money
centers and you will find out what
our grand old State is worth. In
deed, it is STANCE that poor person
will try TO be up with the rich and
tltsis worse for counties and o State
to try to show up with their well-to-
do States for we have brilliant men
in South Carolina. G.T.G.
