But He did not say that we were to
be always little children. Enter

escaping the work of mature years

urday night. Dropsy was the cause
of his death.
have talked with quite a number
OF farmers and they all say they are
not going to use as much guano this
year as they did last year but they
will plant about the same acreage in
cotton. AS to corn the white farm
ers will plant what they think will
make enough for their own use but
the negro tenants don't care much
for corn. They go strong for cot
ton. They don't mind making
cotton even at s cents and buy corn
at a dollar hushel, which is to my
mind poor farming.
1t seems that our present legisla-
tors are inclined to spend or rather
appropriate money with a lavish
hand. They had a mind to appro.
pirate one million for repairs to the
State house, one million for the new
hospital for the insane and a quar-.
ter million for cotton warehouse in
Columbia for the whole State and if
this latter bill passes farmers living
In the extreme parts of the State

Columbia to get the benefit of the

We must again congratulate the
gentlemen of the Board of County
Commissioners who used the split
log drag after the heavy rains and
snow during January. We have
had occasion to travel several roads
treated in this manner since the
long and severe spell of weather and
it is astonishing what good results
are to be attained by the use of these
split-log drags. 1t will be a fine
thing to follow the snow of this
week with these same implements of
wonder; then, as the spring opens
up, our roads will be in fine shape.
One remarkable thing about the use
of these drags is the rapidity with
which the roads dry out after they
have had this treatment. Split-log
drags, sand, clay and the combined
effort of our public-spirited officials
make combination that will give
us one of the best things of advanced
civilization-good roads.

1t now seems very probable that

Charlie Bailey and Mr.. Ray and
others were in Union Tuesday talk
ing over the matter with Mr.. w. II.
West, manager of the Southern Bell
Telephone Co. here, and from all
indications they will agree to put in
this line, which will come into Union
via Sardis church.
If we can now get a line down
into Goshen Hill township we will
have the county pretty we'll covered.
We would be glad to see direct
line from Union down into Goshen
Hill, but if that cannot be had we
hope it will he possible to get line
from Mrs. Sartor's residence into
that section. There we would have
the county united. It is worth
working for and we will gladly help
it to be realized in any way in our
power.

We heartily endorse the rural po-
lice bill for Union county as passed
by the legislature this session. We
understand the measure has passed,
and it is move in the right direc-
ton. To have an officer of the law
journey from one end of the county
to the other, armed with police
power, cannot fail to exert a whole
some influence. 1t will give to the
remote settlements a feeling of Sc
curity and will exert wholesome
restraint upon the lawless.

their many friends and relatives.
The marriage was kept secret but

cake, as cream is very cheap when
it SHOWS.
The oyster supper given by Miss
Bowie, the beloved teacher Of Mt.
Tabor, for the benefit of the school
room, was a success, as are all of her
undertakings.
The school room is now furnished
with new desks and a new stove.
The people of Tabor will never be
able to show their appreciation for
not only the instructions given their
children, but her good work towards
the welfare of this community.
We have all room to praise Miss
Bowie as our large Sunday school,
which started from small singing
organized by her, won the banner
last year for contributing the most
money towards organizing Sunday
schools where there are none. We
are proud of our Sunday school and
Miss Bowie also. We will never be
able to find another like her, high
nor low, but will endeayor to keep
her if love and money can. She
works towards the upbuilding of the
country's morals and if things were
done according to her ideas this
would be the model country and
would send forth noble men and
women which would possibly be our
future presidents and win fame for
Themselves and their country. Again
| say we can't praise her too much.
The men of Tabor are at last
aroused and we think the debt of
Mt. Tabor church will soon be raised.
The ladies' prayer band, which only
has few members, gave SO to-
wards the debt. Everyons is wait

angel, disguised as little child and
dressed in the yellow and black garb
OF a monk, came down from heaven to

Perhaps the wide streets and spa

thing to do with the freedom of

cramped-up feeling here, that is so

But beneath all this apparent idle
ness and pleasure loving, Munich is
a very busy place. It is the very heart
of young artistic Germany, and the
great revolutions that have taken
place in newspaper and journalistic
art have come direct from here, the
home of the Jugend, the Simplicissi-
mus and other weekly papers. These
magazines have introduced impress
sionism to our English and American
papers,, but even still a Munchener
artist can tell story in one line, for
which an Englishman must use ten.
The Munich academy is the second
best in the world and has sent forth
such men as William Chase, Frank
Duveneck and Martin Scissor. If you
ask Munchener who was the most
important man in the world, the an.
swer is either the prince regent, and

and the prince regent
They love the kindly old prince, but
their awe of Stuck is marvellous. His
word is considered final in art, and
his appreciation is shown not only
sentimentally, but substantially as
we'll, for he was presented with
beautiful home by the government
and nice pension besides. He is a
tall, dark, handsome man. His wife
is an American, and although very
fond of his wife, he does not like to
see too much American independence
cropping out in his children. His lit
tie girl is a true little German frau
lein, while his boy takes all his traits
from his mothers ancestors, and is
said to be no favorite with his father.
Stuck is one of the teachers of the
academy, but the best life class here
is headed by an American from Mil.

I was about three PAGES behind when

from an eighty foot depth.
He was still conscious, but there
was no pulse and he was nearly froz

he died the same night from shock.
