Co~neross, April Especial: We
extend our deepest sympathy to J.3D.
ABBOTT and Family, who are bereay-
ed on account of the death OF their
dear wife and mother, which occur
red here last Tuesday. Owing to
the TACT that the announcements Of
the death OF this good woman was so
nicely written in the last issue of The

respect will be sent up by the Y. w.
As and Sunbeams, your correspond
ent will not take space to write. al
though there cannot be too many or
too beautiful words spoken of her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Abbott, Of
Spartanburg, were visitors of the for
mer's brother, NJ. Abbott, and family,
some time ago.
Misses Agnes Ellison and Merits
Cleveland, Of Bounty Land, paid Mr..
and Mrs. G.. l.. Barker q short visit
recently.
The Sunbeams will meet next Sun

News Notes from Seneca.

Seneca, April Especial. Re.
G. G.. Mayes, of Greenville, will III
the pulpit of the Presbyterian churca
next Sunday.
Messrs. Turbeville, Proves az.
kiser, of Clemson College, wore Fl.
Seneca on Saturday for the ira 80;
meet, remaining over Sunday.
The attendance at the tracii gnse.
was not as good as on formcr ocpn
sions. Still there was a pretty goo.
attendance from the neig hbortl,
towns, who came to encourag., theA
teams. Everything passed OF 9,cas.
antly, and but for the date couiug on
Saturday the meet would hava dra wn
a larger attendance of our lusiuaae
men.
j. w. Stribling, Lowry Hamilton.
Ton Marshall Lowery and Luke Yer
ner were among the Clemson BOYS
who spent the past weekend jp sen
eca, coming over on Saturday :Nr The
meet.
A delightful feature Of tn sell
vices at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday was the singing of Mrs. Jas.
Lowry. The Holy City" was sung
and was greatly enjoyed by the large
congregation.
Miss Lucille Hamilton spent Satur-
day and Sunday with homefolks, re-
turning to her school at EbeneZer
Sunday afternoon. She was accom-
panied by her friend, Miss Bessie
Gaines.
1t was said that the snow the past
early fall was due to the fact that
Joe McCarey took one of Seneca's
young bellies for a buggy ride. The
drop in temperature last night was
possibly due to the same cause!
Mrs. w. j.. Holloway entertained
the Gossipers last Friday afternoon
in honor Of her visiting friend, Miss
Smith.
Miss Davis, Of Black Mountain, N.
e., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Inab-
nit.

piration of a few existing contracts
no whiskey advertisements will APP
pear In this newspaper"
We congratulate The State upon
the decision. 1t will lend force to the
effective fight that great paper is
waglng against immortality and crime.
Whatever the convictions Of the edi-
tor may be with regard to the sale
and use of liquors in a legitimate and
proper way, he has relieved the stu
alton Of IN possibility of the impu-
tation of Inconsistency.
The falling into line by the Green
vile Piedmont, The State and others
Of u Southern dailies will doubtless
be the means of inducing others to
consider thoughfully the consistency
Of the position taken. We have long
looked with suspicion upon the con-
s~cientiOusness of hat paper which in
one column condemns whiSkey and
in another launts the attractive ad-
facturer. To be unQueStionably cOn-
sistent and avoid the "pearanc of
evil the newspaper must perforce re-
frain from speaking against the whis-
key evil if it accepts whiskey adver-
tisements, though we recognize the
fact that we nno Judge one con-
science by another. But the everlast-
ing question of consistency must
n rico mud 1tr1N,, IL l,o. -. -cr--..--
ness Of good work is impaired.
The State and Piedmont have
stepped on to the platform adopted
by The Courier years ago, and we
welcome these staunch friends. So
far as we recall, there has never ap-
peared, to mar the pages Of The Cou~
rier, an advertisement for a whiskey
house Of a brand Of whiskey, nor will
there ever so long a the present man
agement may have charge. In the
recent days, since whiskey has been
receiving such hard knocks on all
sides, the manufacturers of it have
endeavored to combat the effect of
this holy war by extensive auyertis-
ing campaigns, and not a few con-
tracts have been turned down by us
which offered to pay double our
rates" for the service. But double
rates" do not offset a conscientious
scruple, and no reader of The Cou-
rier will be able to point to a whiskey
advertisement in our columns as an
evidence that our conscience is sub
ject to the domination of dollars and
cents.
We hope to see the day when the
whiskey manufacturer cannot get an
advertisement for his goods placed on
the pages of a single newspaper or
magazine within the borders of the
United States.

Brunson Saturday closed its doors on
the orders Of the State Bank Exami-

the suspension was given out here.
1t is said that the depositors will be

The suspension Of the bank, follow
ing an examination by the examiner,
has lot caused the excitement and

pie seem confident that they will get
their money when the affairs of the
bank are Strengthened out.
The Bank Of Brunson, having re-

WHERE IL YOUR BOY ?

1t is a sad story that cOmes from
G~rccnvillc. Tho heart turns sick as
we contemplate the feelings of the
'bcrcayCd parents Of those two young
men, whose lives we're snuffed out in
the small hours OF the morning, 4
sacrifice to %aVariCc, miSchievouSness
or wantOn recklcSSncss. Two lads OF
II and 20 years, their lives blighted
by their own folly and ended as tho
consequence Of sin, And who is to
blame? 1t is a fearful thing to think
of the responsibility OF parents for
their children, and to contemplate, in
connection with this Thought, tho
laxity OF parental authority as eX-
hibited to-day.
We mourn the passing Of the old
fashioned parents who demanded the
knowledge of the whereabouts of
their sons and daughters, and we
lament no less the passing of the old
fashioned boy or young man who
never felt disgrace or chagrin in
hSNblbS MS lbi S"t L II Vi ilS
whereabouts. If we could but real
ize to the fullest extend the RESPONSE
biiity OF the parent, what a revolu-
ton would take place in every city,
town and hamlet OF our State. What
a revolution would take place within
the limits of our own little town! But
We are too prone to think OF these
awful warnings that come, every
now and then, rs f~ar-off, remote,
having no direct bearing upon us.
Do you know where your boy stays
during the hours hat follow your
h~ome-gOing after the days business
is done? Does our boy tell you
where he is going, or ask your per-
mission to go? Or is he one Of the
new order that deems it lacking in
manlinesS hat his coming and going
should be known to you? If the lat
ter, you may rest assured Of one
thing, and that il that he ]frequents
places and numbers among his asso-
ciates people he does not care for you
to know as his intimates.
Where is your boy tonight? When
the shades OF night are drawn, you
may well ask yourself that question.
And better still will it be, if you
cannot answer it satisfactorily. if
you make it your business to ind out
where he is. If you find him where
he ought to be, he will be found IN
the home; ii. however, he measures
up to the general standard of to-day.
and has passed the age OF l6 or is
years, home is the last place at which
YOU need seek him.
Give us a return OF the Old-fash-
Toned parent and the old-fashioned
boy, and we will read Of fewer
crimes, fewer tragedies and fewer Of
these horrors that come into the
live OF the young to-day.
Where is your boy tonight?

With an Expert.
The News Man Spends an Inter
estins Hour With a Very
Interesting Man.

Mr. X. w. jordan OF Labette
county was here last week, and
the News man took advantage Of
the chance to corner him for an
hour. Mr.. Jordan 10 considered
4 farm and land expert, and he
told rs 90 many things that we
deem of interest, we are going
to divide.
Mr.. Jordan led off with the
startling statement that alfalfa
can be successfully grown on
nearly every acre of ground in
Cherokee county.
He says some of the land
needs lime, and some needs a
crop of cowpeas, before alfalfa
can be grown. But he claims it
car be successfully grown if a
crop of cowpeas is raised and
then plowed under. Then pre-
pare a good seed bed, use about
fifteen pounds to the acre, and
SOW it the latter part of August.
He says sweet clover will grow
on the poorest land in the county
and, like cowpeas, will inoculate
the ground for alfalfa; that if a
crop of cowpeas or sweet clover
is raised and plowed under, red
clover or alfalfa, or either, can
then be grown on that land.
Mr.. Jordan mentioned in his
talk about being out in the coun-
try the day before to examine a
piece of land that had been
planted to corn. He said that
particular piece of land will not
raise anything, for the reason
that it needs lime. The way it
is now, he says, the corn will
grow up about 4 foot high, and
the blades will turn red, but a
dressing of lime will make the
corn grow = rich green and be
thrifty.
Speaking of wheat, he thinks
r. o. Thomas and Valley Sto-
skopf have the best wheat he
saw during his short stay in this
section. He figures q yield of IS
to 40 bushels to the acre for each
of them.
Mr.. Jordan says where bone
meal fertilizer was used there
are no chinch bugs. This is of
great interest if true. Mr.. Jor-
dan says the acid in the fertilizer
keeps them out.
In the course of his talk Mr..
Jordan told us of q piece of ale
most worthless ground near Car
thage which has been make to
grow the very finest of alfalfa.
He says the owner gave the land
a coat Of lime dust and then put
on eight loads of barn manure to
the acre.
We asked Mr.. Jordan if he had
seen or heard Of the new power
pillow recently invented BY q man
over near Carthage. He replied
that he not only had heard of it,
but he had seen it, and regarded
il as a marvel, indeed. He said
the inventor made q demonstra-
lion for him while there. The
man plOwed at the rate of half a
mile in nine minutes, and he
plowed three fOurteen-inch fur
rows at once, seven inches deep. !
Such an invention as this Is of
course going to revolutiOnize the
farming game. At the rate the
nan plowed he would turn over
from Il to Is acres q day from
Iun to sun, and Mr.. Jordan says
here is no reason why another
nan could not take hold of the
OBJ and pillow at night. He says
he pillow does not need steering
that it guides itself. All one
leeds to do is to start it straight
md it will do the guiding. A
's-hOrse gasoline engine pulls
he pillow, and sets on 4 frame
