Sir Walter SCOTS
Marjorie Fleming

Did you ever hear that Sir Walter Scott,
who wrote The Lady Of the Lake" and
'Ivanhoe." besides many other beautiful
poems and novels which you will read
some day. had child friend named Mar
jorie Fleming. of whom he was very
fond? Marjorie was dear little girl OF
seven. when the great Sir Walter used
TO hap" her up in his plaid and carry
her off 10 his room, there to play with
her until the two made the house ring
with their laughter. Marjorie taught the
great man 10 count out" with the rhyme
"Wonnery twoery tickery. seven:
Abby, crackaby. ten and eleven;
Pin, pan musky dan;
Tweede-up twoddle-um. twenty-wan;
Eerie, orie, ourie-
You are OUT
It always made Sir Walter laugh when
he came 10 "musky dan" which he said
made him think OF an lrishman all smell
ing with sweet spices. and Marjorie would
get very much vexed at his stupidity.
He loved to read old ballads to her, and
she repeated to him long speeches from
Shakespeare She used TO write him let
tiers, too, and she composed poems which
were very wonderful for child of her
age Sometimes she put jokes into her
verses as when she wrote this about a
King of Scotland who had met an un-
timely death

EDIE AND EDDIE'S TRAVEL
TOUR.

Edie and Eddie. although they have
been having a beautiful year on the
Forum Page, think that little journey
with all their little friends would not
only be fun for them but fun for you,
too.
They have been wishing very, very
hard for an opportunity to take you all
travelling. and next Sunday they are
going to take you on long trip-yes-
even across the ocean. Think of that.
OF course. Edie and Eddie are very
unselfish little friends, and they are
going to prove this again by asking you
TO suggest to them some places to visit.
Will you then write to them and tell
them where you would like them to
take you?
Just think how much you will see
when Edie and Eddie 20 travelling.

weapon. At this moment another Indian
from behind fell upon our little hero and
bore him to the earth. Had 1t not been
for Jacks quickness as a wrestler our
story would have ended right here. for in
mere strength he was no match for his
antagonist Quickly wrisging out of the
grasp Of the Indian, Jack turned like a

hardly keep his eyes open. 1t was. in

Ordinarily your correspondent
would favor quadrennial cleo

one respect this would prove a
greater hardship on the people
of Pleasant Valley. Our most
used and most nesessary road,
the one from the Lancaster and
Charlotte road to the Bales
bridge, is worked only in election
years. Our new road law was
passed in 1907 and since that
time this road has been worked
but twice. in 1910 and 1912.
This road is only ten or twelve
feet wide in places and full of
holes, yet is used more than any
other road in Indian Land town

visions told one of our citizens
a few years ago that the people
in the Pan Handle were un-
fortunately situated. | presume
he meant that we didn't have
enough votes. Anyway, we are
looking forward with hope that
1914 will give us one more work

BOOST THE TOWN.

If you live in Fort Mill you
should believe in it. If you don't
believe this town is a little better
In most respects than any of it's
neighbors you should move out.
Fort Mill ha| advantages that
other towns have not and your
modesty should not prevent you
from making the fact known
whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself. To strangers with
whom you come in contact do
not fail to let them know that
you live in a live town populated
by enterprising, wide-awake, 60
ahead people, and one that is
advancing instead of retrograd-
ing. If you can truthfully speak
in commendation of the ability
of your professional men, the
square dealing methods of your
merchants, the excellence of
your mechanics, the superiority
of your churches. schools and
public institutions and industry.
energy and sobriety Of your citi-
zens, let nothing prevent you
from exercising that privilege.
You should learn to believe, if
you do not already. that we have
all these and in addition the best
located town, the finest country
surrounding it, with the most
intelligent class of farmers to be
found. If there are any draw
backs it will not be necessary to
mention them. The people and
newspapers of competing towns
will relieve you of that task by
attending to that part of ii
themselves. Strangers seeking
locations are always greatly in
fiuenced in favor of any town
whose citizens are enthusiastic
in it's praise. No city or town
expects to attain prominence
over it's rivals unless its inhabi-
tants appreciate the excellence.
and virtues of each other and
will collectively spread abroad
their faith in the present pros
perity and future greatness OF
their locality. Talk is a cheap
commodity, but when rightly
utilized it can be made effective
in many directions and this is
one of them.

Of pleasing interest to the
public generally is the announce
ment from Washington that the
postoffice department will on and
after March 10th receive books
and printed matter for trans
portation at the reduced, or

there has never been any logical
reason why these commodities
were denied the benefit of the
reduced rates, and the announce
ment that the mails will be open
to such in the near future
is another promise that the par.

Young Dunson, however, grew
