Local Merchants Awake.

Local merchants need now to
awake, says an exchange, to the pos
sibilities of the new parcel post
system. The man who gets busy and
takes advantage of the new system
is the man for whom its benefits
are stored up. The mail order
houses to get trade. The local mer!
chant has the advantage. He is near
the customer and the rates for send
ing matter are 80 much lower for
his legitimate territory than they
are for the long distance concerns.
But he will not get this trade un-
less he goes out for it. 1t will not
come to him. He must let his Gus
toners know what he has and how
well he can serve them through
parcel post. Advertise the fact and
doubly i'm press it in every way pos
sible. In this way you benefit you ur
business.

merry Christmas without any seri-

We had al our school house

That is the cutting of frewood so
as to save the timber. Some time
ago we passed through a lot of
woodland, original forest, from
which much firewood might be cut
so as to promote the growth of the
balance. There are many trees
which have ceased to grow. They
are worth nothing except for fire.
wood. They should be cut out so
as to give the others a chance.
There were many places where five
or six trees stand where there should
be but one. Such places should be
thinned and young vigorous trees
left. Any farmer who has sense
enough to own land ought to have
sense enough to trim out his timber
land so as to increase the growth of
the timber left. You may notice
that small tree, taken from the,
woods and planted as shade tree
at the house, will soon grow and
spread and be a large tree, just be-
cause it is not crowded. If scrubby,
half-dead trees are cut from the for
est and only vigorous thrifty trees
left they will soon be large trees.
The time has come when the pre-
servation of timber is very impor-

Only Two Changes .

The campaign and primary last
summer made only two changes in
the official family of the county.
Mr.. w. e. Wells retire, as county
supervisor and for the next four
years Mr.. A. A. Edmunds will fill
that Office. Mr.. Wells gave the peo-
pie straightforward, businesslike
administration, one to VIII ich he can
hereafter point with pride. Both in
the office and out upon the public
roads Mr.. Wells has done his very
best as he saw it. Of CO urse he has
not pleased all of the pc ople. That
was an impossibility. Mr.. Edmunds
will likewise do his utm ost 10 serve
the people faithfully and satisfacto-
rily, giving the taxpayers an
economic administration.
The second change was in the
Office of sheriff. Mr.. W. G. QUITS
has given place to Mr.. w. R.
Swearingen. Mr.. QUITS practically
grew up IN the sheriff's Office which
caused him to be thoroughly ia
miliar wit h the duties when he sue
ceeded his lamente d father. He was
courteous, conscientious, capable,

Illustrated Lecture on Cattle
Tick at Corn Exposition.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 6.-(Spe-
cial)-CompIete details of the life
story of the destructive cattle tick
will be depicted in moving picture
films at Fifth National Corn Expo
sition here next month. Uncle Sam
will conduct moving picture show
at the exposition, as one of the nu-
merous features of the elaborate
government exhibit, and one entire
reel will be devoted to close, de.
tailed study of the life and habits
of this expensive pest, its rapacious
methods of obtaining living, and
the most effective methods of eradi-
eating it.
The cattle tick film has recently
been completed, after two years of
research in obtaining pictures. 1t
has been given preliminary try-out
before secretary Wilson and other
officials of the department, but its
first public appearance will be re-
served for the Fifth National Corn
Exposition, which opens January
9th. This reel is highly instructive,
and will especially interest the cat
tie owners of the south, who are es-
timated to lose annually from
$4,000, 900 to 500, 1000 through
the cattle tick alone. Magnife d
many times, the ticks in all stages
of growth will crawl upon the screen
before the audience.
This reel is supplementary to the
cattle dipping vat-another instruct
i've feature of the department ex-
hibit, at which will be actually
demonstrated this most certain,
effective and permanent mothod of
eradicating the cattle tick.

From Missionary John Lake.

The following letter from Rev.
John Lake was publish.l in the
Baptist Courier last week:
Dear DR.. Cody:- You will excuse
pencil and cheap stationery, 1 am
sure, when I explain that much of
my correspondence is carried on in
trains Tin railroad stations-in the
odds and ends of time, during these
strenuous forlough days. Mrs. Lake
says it takes an iron constitution to
stand a furloueh home! She and |
have just closed a series of meet
ings in Washington, lasting a week,
in which we spoke seventeen times
in Baptist churches of that city.
We spoke in Lexington, KY, yes
terday, and lam down for five
speeches tomorrow. We are swing
ing around through Louisville and
Nashville, and expect to reach
Greenville early in January to fill
the engagements in the itinerary so
kindly arranged by Mrs. J. D.
Chapman.
1t sounds like ancient history
now, but of course we see The
Courier irregularly, travelling SO
much, and the object of this letter
is to call attention to a report of a
talk made before the state conven-
ton at Abbev;lle. The brother who
made the report did not, of course
mean that I said there were but
four missionaries in the great city
of Canton, but / am afraid that
some people, less informed on mis-
sions Than he, might fail to get my
meaning. 1 was speaking of the
number of male members of our
Baptist Mission before Brother
Snuggs and / left for our furlough.
Of course there are the wives of the
missionaries and the single ladies,
and now Brother Buckner has been
called tv Canton from Yingtak-
which is like robbing Peter to pay
Paul,-and of course there are the
missionaries of other denominations
in that CITY with its population
greater than that of South Carolina,
perhaps as great as Virginia or Ken

About Time to Call a Halt.

A dispatch from Atlanta says the
musty superior court room, which
usually smells of moth-eaten books
and stale tobacco is perfumed again
with violet toilet water, carnation
cologne, rosebud face powder, sweet
peas and the thousand and one other
seductive and commingled odors
that hover over any gathering of
dolled-up femininity.
In ,.her words it is matrimonial
wash day again in Atlanta, and
Judge Pendleton, aided by jury
is called upon, with the help of the
law, to put asunder some ninety-two
couples who believed that they were
joined together by the Almighty,
but who have found out since the
ceremony that the Lord had nothing
to do with it.
The monthly Atlanta div orce
court is getting to be the biggest
and most spectacular event of local
court circles. The calendar usually
has anywhere from 80 to l25 cases
on it, and the fair prosecutors or de-
PENDANTS represent every walk of
life, every grade of society. The di-
vorce suit of a prominent society
woman has been known to be called
on the same day as that of her ne
grsAook.
The more we read of this divorce,
business in other places, the more
pleased we become that South Caro-
lima does not allow divorces for any
cause, and that over here in this be-
nighted region, as some divorce ad-
vocates refer to US, man marrles
one woman for a life time. We hope
it will never be otherwise. Orange

Railroads Underpaid For Car
rying The Mail.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5. Thai
the railways of the United States are
underpaid for carrying the mail and
that despite this fact the postmas
ter general is not only seeking tc
have the present rates of pay reduc'
ed, but is plannin G to force the
railways to transp ort without any
compensation whatsoever the enor
nous additional amount of mai
matter expected to be offered by the
public under the new parcels post
to be inaugurated on January l,
such service without compensation
to continue on the railways of the
southeast until 1915, are some of
the startling statements convincing
ly set out in a pamphlet just issued
by the committee on railway mail
pay, representing 26s railways, op-
Grating 2l4,275 miles of line.
The pamphlet shows that the
railways receive a smaller rate for
the sape space on their passenger
trains devoted to the mail service
than they do for the space assigned
to passengers or express. AS every
one knows that the passenger train
service of the American railways is
less remunerative than the freight
service this makes carrying the
mail the poorest paid service which
the railways render.
During the last twelve years the
post Office department has made
great reductions in the pay for rail
way transportation, but has not re-
duced the total of its other expendi-
lures or the proportion of such ex.
penditures to its total revenues, all
savings in the departments opera
ton having been made at the ex-
pense of the railways.
Having repeatedly failed to get
redress from the post Office depart
ment for either the unjust reduc-
tions in pay or the numerous bur-
densome requirements made of
them, the railways have determined
to take their case directly to the peo-
pie, feeling that when the facts are
known the American people will
not sanction the methods which the
officials of the post office department

Work for the New Year.

Farmers should not forget the
wet weather they had last spring.
For four months there were not
three consecutive days when plow.
ing could be done. When the first
of April came there was very little
land ready for planting. Never was
crop planted under such unfavora-
BILE conditions and the cultivation
was difficult.
The first work to be done with
the plow in the new year is prepar-
ing land and sowing oats. Many
farmers have sown none and others
did not finish before the rains
came.
The next work will be the pre-
paration of land for the next crop.
Let US repeat former advice. Do
not turn clean land bottom-side up,
bringing much clay to the surface.
There are many fields with their
soil three to four inches deep. If
three inches of clay are turned up
on top of that poor soil, it will be a
poor crop raised on it. If the clay
is broken on such soil only little
should be brought up at time and
that should be mixed with the top
soil.
Some farmers claim that the best
way to prepare land for corn or
cotton is to bed it out, breaking the
hard pan. Then they should rebed
it just before planting time.
There is a job on every farm
which requires sound judgment.
