Back to the Soil

ling for a century, was rich
nourishing soil that had never
given color to the bloom of
! clover or sent a morsel to the
honey bee on the jubilant tassle
of the rustling corn.
Was it the high price of hay?
No; I guess it was the pea cop.
Its searching tap-root went
down into the soil and unlocked
store house of inexhaustible
wealth. Deep plowing now is
waking up that sleeping wealth
and it is going to swell the song
of the harvest.
Every hundred acres in culti-
walton last year paid enough
profit on flour, corn and meat
to buy ten. acres more Of land
lust as good. If any one had
sued the owners for that M lch
money, they would have fought
them to the last ditch. If they
had lost in the court, there
would have been another fight
at the front gate with 4 base
ball bat or a shot gun. ., yes
you have to blind-fold a farmer
to back him into a den OF
thieves like that.
Does he appreciate health!
| Does he know his wealth? He
will find it. All things are
possible to him that believeth. :"
This is just as true in science
and farming. Believe in your
self, believe in your soil. l
have written unto you young
men because you are strong.
You have muscle, hope, faith,
e .thusiasm. Nothing can
thrive without faith and en-
tthlsiasm. Believe in yourself.
Liye your gospel of life. Put
your firm grip on the plow
handle and your feet in the
deep furrow, and you will sure
be able to sing Harvest Home
Most of the elect live on the
farm and the rest are going
there. For it is the spring OF
joy.
Just believe in it and you
find a hundred and one charms
beside the cackle of the guinea,
the song of the pecker-wood and
the shrill note of Bob White, to
hold you to it.
If you should have an attack
I of rheumatism, don't look grou-
chy or grunt. 1t makes the
other fellow feel too good.
Don't forget that the best RENE
DIV for rheumatism is to be
thankful you haven't got the
gout. B.

In 1849, there was a hegira from
the Atlantic States to Califor-
MIA. A wonderful discovery OF
gold had been noised abroad.
It took the seekers for wealth
six months to get there, but
they went. Some got rich and
returned; others remained.
The gold was there. It took
digging to make money out OF
gold. In a strange land and
among strangers, muscle had
nothing else to do but to dig.
And it dug up wealth.
The people in this country
have played at farming for
more than an hundred years
They are now about to discover
the wealth of the soil. The
hardware man had to sell his
disc plow. It is better than a
miscroscope to reveal hidden
wealth. When there were so
many great forests in this coun
try, they protected and preserv-
ed the new made fields and
their crops. Growth is catch
ing. crops got more feed from
the atmosphere. Every zephyr
had a breakfast for the bloom
ing wheat and tassling corn,
The forests faded and fell. The
transition was sore. Some
places almost became a desert.
Boys and young men left the
farm like rats scurrying from
sinking ship, Recurring seed
time and harvest still yielded
bread and meat for the hungry.
The equilibrium between supply
and demand became so disturb
ed that prices were Jared to the
lowest level. But now with
flour at $500 a barrel, corn at
81. 90 per bushel and cotton at
15c a pound, a hundred and
fifty per cent more than it costs
to raise these products in the
soil and climate of this section,
| it is no wonder that so many
attentive ears are hearing the
still small voice of stupendous
profit (and incidentally good
heal--h,) They are stumbling
over each other to get back to
the soil. And they are carry
ing so much enthusiasm in the
rush, that they are hitting it
a harder blow and piercing it
deeper than it was eyer pierced
before. Nearly every farm you
pass looks like the field in which
the owner thinks is hidden the
pearl of great price. Who told
the farmer that under his broad
acres, where it has been sleep

Critiicises the New
Rule of Doctors

Mr.. Editor: I notice the doc
tors in Pickens have made a
pledge not to practice for the
poor man without an order
from the landlord. It looks like
they have laid out fortune for
the doctors at Easley, Liberty
and Cateechee if they don't go
in it. | hear a lot Of men say
they will 60 40 miles before they
will 20 after one that signed
that pledge. l think YOU are
all too fast, for the poor people
Of Pickens county have made
you just what you are. For
I am pretty certain that some
of you came to Pickens with
oft much money. Just look
what fine houses you have
built since, and fine horses and
buggies you drive, Who paid
for them? The poor man, for
the rich man, if he gets sick,
travels for his health. He
leaves no money with you to
buy cigars and then grind the
poor man into dust and charge
double what you charge the
land owner. Mr.. Editor, [
know Of one of the doctors
charging a land owner, this
summer, $3.50 for one trip to
see his wife, and in the same
community he went to see a
renters wife for the some thing
and charged him $500. Now
you see who ke I
know they havs
them, but don't 90 back w
honest man. There are as
honest poor men as there are
land owners.
You know there are lotof men
with land in their possession
that if their debts were paid
wouldn't be worth anything,
and a lot have made their wives
free dealers. That wont work.
Here are the cotton mill people,
what are Yol going to do with
them? Here are men in town
in rented houses. You know
the man who rented the house
to them Won't stand good for
their doctor bill. If see it you
are going to loose what practice
you haye got. Let us hear
from others of the county.
Don't all write at once. The
poor you have with you always.
You have oppressed them.
Read James 5th Chapter from
l to It'll verse. Read Matthew
25 chapter from 80 to 46. You
doctors read the Bible more and
study it and don't study so hard
to know how to charge the poor.
The Lord says in his Word that
he will take care of his. Just
think I am one of his, SO I will
ring off.

Through the impressively beautiful
MacMonnies bronze doors of the Library
OF Congress one passes into perhaps the
most magnificent entrance hall in the
world, a vision Of pure white polished
marble rising to lofty heights. where
there Is a riot OF color In contrast with
the snowy beauty OF the polished stone.
The dignity of it's proportions. the luxuri-
ant richness and harmony of its adorn-
ment, make IL a fitting entry to the
finest. the most beautiful library build
ing in all the world. and. in its entirety,
the highest purely American architec-
tural achievement. 1t was eight wears
in building. and it cost S6.0OO,o0o. and the
marvel is that so much was accomplished
in so little time. and that all this glory
should have cost so little.
The public reading room reaches even
greater splendor. 1t is a hundred feet in
diameter. rising is feet to the golden
dome The richness OF its color effect
lies in its marbles. the dark from Ten
nessee. the red from Numidia. the yellow
from Sienna. The pillars are forty feet
high. the windows thirty-two feet wide.
In all the library has 2.ooo windows.
The stucco adornments of the dome arc
old ivory r. ii. Blashhelds decoration,
The Evolution Of Civilization" in the
collar and lantern OF the dome, is the
crowning glory of the building.
Merely to enumerate the mural paint
ings and sculptures. the mosaics and the
statues, would suggest an art catalogue.
Nearly every contemporary American
famous in art is represented. and the
great scholars have selected the wealth
OF quotations adorning the walls.
In fact, every square inch Of wall
surface ceilings and floor shows the
touch OF the decorative artist. and It
takes many visits to the Library fully
to appreciate its beauties.
When the Library Of Congress was
founded in 1880. for the purchase OF
such books as may be necessary for the
use OF Congress" half million dollars
were appropriated for it. Either the
original appropriation was not all avail
