The purpose of the extra session
of the Legislature was to put money
in the purse of the members, and in
that respect it was a pronounced
success, says the Gaffney Ledger.
A commission has been issued to
the Farmers Warehouse Co of Pine
wood, Clarendon county, with a cap
ital of $1,100. Petitioners are P H
Broughton, A G Stack and E c Ged-

upwards of S50,000.' And not
one-half of the taxpayers of the
State think it was worth the price.

The Wheat Harvest

l can hear the hum of harvest
through the morning cool and sweet
as it floats across the prairies on the
pillows of the wheat. From the up
lands and the lowlands, from the val
ley and the hill, comes the dreamy
hum of reapers, and the song is never
still
Wheat has fed her mighty millions
since the days of life began. She was
queen of crops in Eden; and she
lifted fallen man from the depths
of want and hunger, from the lowly
savage plane, with her staff of life
and glory, with her miracle of grain.
l can hear the reapers humming as
the golden pillows comb, / can hear
the ripples mingle with the shouts of
harvest home; and it means content
and happiness to all the hearts that
beat in the land of starry promise, in
the blessed land of wheat.-Kansas

Growl and the way looks dreary;
Laugh, and the path is bright;
For welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light
Sigh, and you rake in nothing;
Work, and the prize is won;
For the merry man
With backbone can
BY nothing be outdone.
Hustle, and fortune awaits you;
Shirk, and defeat is sure;
For there's no chance
OF deliverance
For the chap who can't endure
Sing, and the worlds harmonious;
Grumble, and things go wrong;
And all the time
You are ont of rhyme
With the busy, busting throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing;
Whistle, and life is gay;
And the worlds in tune
Like a day in June
And the clouds all melt away.

DON'T PRINT ALL THEY KNOW

A good many editors are said not to
know much, says an exchange. The
trouble is that they know lot of
stuff that they dare not tell, says
Charley Browne, in Horton Headlight
Commercial. They know who drinks
the beer and they know the ladies
who deviate from the straight path
of rectitude and the boys who smoke
in the alleys and dark places, and the
girls who are out auto-riding till the
ROSTERS crow for daylight. They
know the fellows that are good pay
and they know the fellow who can't
get trusted for tobacco. sack full of
salt. They could guess at once why
some fellows are as they are, and
they could guess pretty closely what
they do to make themselves SO.
Even in a town like this they know
enough to make one of the red-hot-
test, p-snorting,s high-geared, triple
action, chain-lightning editions you
ever read, but they also know that it
is the best for the community and
of humanity's development and pub
fish only such news as viii do TO read
in the house Editors generally
pursue this policy, and thereby live
longer and get more enjoyment out
of life. No, sir; they don't know
much. but they know enough not to
print all they know.
