Who Is a Progressive Farmer!

One of the best deflnltlons we
have seen of "progressie' IS
that recently given by Life, to
the effect that a progressive is
one who is farther advanced this
solemnly. After being polled
wear than he was last year. SO
we would say that progressive
f armer is one W h % is
d oing b ct t er f a 7 M
inc this year than he did last
year or year before. The pro
gressive farmer is the farmer
who is making progress-learn-
ing more about his work and
doing it better.
We know men who haye good
farms, good livestock, big barns,
silos. improved machinery and
who raise good crops, who are
not progressive farmers simply
because they are actually re-
trogressive-are going back,
ward, letting their soil get less
productive, allowing their live
stock to run down, giving such
little thought and judgment to
their busines that with all their
advantages they do not make it
pay.
We know farmers, too who
are comparatively poor men,
whose farms are not in good
shape or we'll equipped, whose
livestock are not of the best,
whose methods are often faulty
but who are really progressive
farmers because they are learn
how to do better farming and to
secure more of the things for
which men labor.
It is in farmers of this class
that we pla e our faith, and it
for them that we edit The Pro-
gressive Farmer. The farmer
who believes he can do better
and is willing to try-he is the
man upon whom the progress
of agriculture depends.
Whether rich or poor, whether
his farm is a model or just be-
ginning to look up, whether
he goes steadily on to success or
makes many blunders and fail
ures, he is a man who counts.
There is hope for him, almost
the assurance of a bright future.
He is the sort Of man we want
in our Family and the sort OF
man the country needs.
For the man who thinks he
knows all there is to know about
farming, or who does not believe
that he can do any better than
he has been doing, there is little
hope of better things. He will
90 backward instead of forward
and, whatever advantages and
opportunities he may have, be
a hindrance rather than a help
to the cause of farming.
Be a progressive farmer.
That is the only kind worth be-
ing, and every farmer can be
that kind. No matter how
much you may fall short of
doing what you would like, you
can at least do a little better
than YOU have been doing.
And as long as one is learning
more and doing better, it is we'll
with him.-The Progressive
Farmer.

Building UD Yoar Toevn

Everybody can help by invest
ing. But some one may say, l
have no money to invest.
There are more things than
money to be invested in Dullo-
ing a town,
Perhaps you have talent to
law plans for the permanent
improvement of the town. Some
nave the talent to lay the plans;
Others can carry the plans into
effect. Il was said of one OF
our leading men not long ago
that he was the greatest man
among US to devise great enter
prises for the benefit OF our
country, but that he could not
put any of the plans into effect.
Now, perhaps we have some
one among us who can plan to
build up our town. Il SO, get
to work and give US the plan,
and we will 90 on the hunt Tor
some one to put it into effect.
Here is one plan we suggest:
You all have interest. Invest
your interest and influence in
building up the town. Talk IL
up. Speak well of the town .
and what nature has done for
Is, placing us here at the foot
of the Blue Ridge.
Standing on Main street on a
clear day and looking west
ward, YOU have one of the
grandest and most inspiring
views that one can have in this
country. No artist could paint
a picture half so beautiful as
the mountains IN the winter
covered with snow, ledge or
range after range rising one
above the other. until snow and
sky seems to come together. In
summer we have fine invig-
afifSg air, We have buildings
tIat woGd look well in any city.
A court house far superior to
many of our larger towns. One
of the most handsome church
buildings in the up-country:
educated consecrated men OF
God as our pastors; among
the largest and best equipped
stores, splendid physicians, one
of the strongest banks in the
state; as good hotel and private
boarding house as can be found
anywhere.
Our school building is not sur.
passed in the county; the school
manned by a first class faculty
of teachers attended by a beyy
of bright lads and lasses-The
future hope of our county
Our banks are among the best.
Our citizenship large, wholesoul,
generous. Among them cultur-
ed, refined, Jalen eu. LII IdCU
our town is entitled to be known
by the name given to it by the
brilliant orator, Hon. j. E.
Boggs, in a speech some years
ago-''The Pearl of the Pied
mont.
Let US ali go to talking up
our town, don't talk it down.
The citizen who can't see any
good in his town ought to move
out, and give room for someone
who does love his town. Our
observation has been that a tel
low who is always finding fault
with his church or town is not
worthy of a place in either.
During the winter let our
ladies study out some plan by
which the town can be made

One of the most beautiful pic
lures on earth, to our mind, is
an aged christian. who has
lived a spotless life goes down
to old age. bright. cheerful and
happy, sits down at the rivers
brink and waits for the boat
man to come and row them
across to the other shore. Such
a picture Was Father Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor's first wife was Miss
Malinda Bowen, of near Easley,
sister to the late Col. R. E.
Bowen, John II. Bowen. and
Mrs. L. R. Dalton, all of this
county; Mr.. Thomas J. Bowen,
Fayt Bowen, and Miss Texie

ty, and Mrs. L. NJ. Berry of
Seneca, and Mrs. ]. r. Aiken, Of
Spartanburg. Capt. J. 7. Tay-
lor, of Pickens, and Mr.. P. NJ.
Taylor, of Easley, are sons of
Mr.. Alfred Taylor. To all his

commend his example as wor

uary End and close March 7th. No en-
trance examination is required. The
every day work on the farm forms the
basis of the work. Special attention

engines, two of the most important
factors in farming. The instruction is
practical. 1t deals with the real things.
In studying stock. for instance, the
instruction is largely Given in the

come back next year and take another
