KELTON

Kelton, March 16.-We hope to
have some good weather now. Yes
terday was fine day for church-g go
ing and many people attended their
churches, as we have not had MANY
Sundays this year when the country
people could attend church.
The farmers are hauling in their
fertilizers right along and the roads
are getting in bad fix.
Most of the white families in this
section who have had the measles are
up again but the colored people are
having their time.
The local Farmers Union at Kelton
met last Monday evening and bought
their guano together from Mr.. S. R.
Aycock: They think they have saved
money by the cooperation. They have
large membership of the best farm
ers of the community.
The cold weather of late has given
the oats and cover crops a back set.
There were two newcomers at the
home of Mr.. Hoyle Gault on the 9Th
"a boy and a girl.
Mrs. Anna Garner, of Spartanburg
visited her daughter, Mrs. Jim Gar
ner, last week.
There will be preaching at Flat
ROCK on the 9th Sunday at II a.. M,
by the pastor, Rev. T. F. Gibson.
The widowers are not all idle these
days. l recently heard of two of them
driving ladies around. One of them
had two with him.
Well, it seems the women of South
Carolina do not get much encourage
ment to get the right to vote. Maybe
some day they will enjoy the privi-
lege. But the question is: Will they
improve politics? / am inclined to
believe as Senator B. R. Tillman said:
Politics will ruin them in the end
If they ever do get what some of
them are seeking-equal rights with
men," / hope they will wear two
legged pants. l am persuaded that
there are not many women in South.
Carolina that really want the right to
vote, for l believe that a large ma
lority of the good women would not
lower themselves to mix at polls with
men in corrupt politics. My dear wo-
men, you can accomplish more good
pleading with God for the improve
ment in politics than you can ever by
your ballot. 1t is claimed that the
political condition is due to the door,
uneducated men. Well, if that be
true, those men have wives and
daughters and they will go with their
husbands and their fathers and the
shrewd politician would lead them mt
his will, because the poor are largely
in the majority.
Mrs. w. Fl. Sanders is very sick.
We hope for speedy and complete
recovery. G. +. G.

Mrs. Frances Stone.

Clinton, March 12.-Mrs. Frances
Stone, wife of w. A. Stone of this
place, died at her home Wednesday
evening, after a lingering illness of
several days. For the past three
years she had been in ill health but
it was only last week that her con-
dition became alarming. The fun
eral service was held Thursday af-
ternoon at o'clock at Hurricane
church and was attended by a large
concourse of friends as a token of
their esteem, following the body to
its last resting place.
Mrs. Stone was woman of lovable
character and was held in high es-
TEEN by all who knew her, She will
be greatly missed in the community
in which she has lived for a number
of years.
She is survived by her husband, w
A. Stone, and the following children:
c. w. and j. H. Stone and d. E. Trib-
BILE of this place; E. w. Stone of Un.
ion and Mesdames Sallie Horton and
Mamie Finney of this place.

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, March 17.-It seems
that Spring is here for the bees are
humming, the birds are singing and
the hens are cackling and the buds
are swelling and some of them are
opening into flowers, all of which
makes us feel like spring was here
although last Thursday there was
more than an inch of enow on the
ground.
l made a trip to Columbia, John
ston and Augusta, last week. / saw
much signs of progress all along the

great deal of plowing has been done
all along the lines of travel. Small
grain crops are looking fairly we'll.

ry A. Wise is superintendent of the
Sunday school and DR.. S. A. Steel is
pastor of the church. The services
of the Methodist church here were

scool building sunday. Some work
is being done on the new church, but
none of the material has arrived as
yet. / understand the Southern rail-
way has promised to haul all the ma
terial that comes over its line free
of charge but there is a man who
owns a large track of land in the
neighborhood, who has refused to
even give some of the sand in the
gullies on his place to the building
committee.
Mr.. F. T. Williams is preparing to
move with his family to Texas. He
had sale Saturday of his household
stuff and he expects to get off about
Tuesday 18th. Mr.. P. p. Williams
who is going with his brother, left
last week and will stop in Atlanta
with relatives and join Mr.. F. T.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, March 1.-THE geese
get some green stuff but their prin-
ciple diet consists of shelled corn and
fresh water. During the last two
weeks before market day they are
shut up in sheds and fed all the corn
they can eat. Occasionally corn fod-
der is added to the ration, and it takes
a flock of geese to beat brindle cow
eating fodder. In these later years,
now that the silo has come into gem
eral use, the geese on the Fisk farm
are treated occasionally to green corn
or ensilage.
The 1000 geese in a flock is not
the only interesting sight on the Fisk
farm, and sightseers are always well
come. A conspicuous sign near the
FiSk's roads: Inquire at the house,
and servant will show you around"
Fisk believes in advertising and is
never more delighted than when
strangers pay his farm a visit. The
birds are housed in immense well con-
structed sheds. These sheds are proof
against the changeableness of the
weathed. The sheds are warmly built,
have solid concrete floors, and an
abundance of light but are not heat
ed, for a goose when protected from
the weather can withstand tempera-
turc of 20 degrees below zero. All
Of the birds are fattened on the Fisk
farm and on the New York market
long before zero weather prevails
here. The geese are purchased in
the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky.
The geese are shod and shoeing a
goose is even easier than it sounds.
| The birds are driven through a bed
Of soft tar or patch and then immedi-
ately into sand heaps, this is allowed
to harden and the geeze are ready for
their long march to the train The
driving is not an unusually slow pro-
cess, for the geese are fair walkers
with shoes on.
Peach and plum trees are begin
ming to bloom; it SENS more like
spring every day, only few days
more and the winter days are over.
Ihe farmers are beginning to plow
and/ hauling guano. Don't think
Z, 1fe be SO many acres of cotton
planted around here this year as last
but more corn, that's the idea.
Mr.. Editor, your editorials are
fine, the wet weather friend was a
good one. We like to read your writ
ings.

An old colored woman, "Aunt Sally

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, March 16.-The wealth.
er Is still unsettled but some of my
neighbors started their plows last
Monday, no doubt thinking that we
would have nice spring weather for
sometime, but on Tuesday morning we
found the ground covered with snow.
What plowing has been done will be
of little service to the farmers, as
the land was entirely too wet. This
will cause the ground to form cakes
and will not yield as we'll as when
plowed in better condition, for it will
require more water to dissolve the
soil so the tender plants can feed
upon the soluble part. | think farm
ers make sad mistake in planting
too much ground. For when we
plant less, we are able to make better
preparation, and land thoroughly pre-
pared and well-cultivated will furnish
etter results. 1 hope that farmers
generally will be more judicious in
the matter of planting cotton, plant
more grain, corn, grasses, clover, etc.,
for this all cotton business does not
pay.
1t seems that we are to have a
large number of candidates this year,
" nearly all the offices in this State
especially for governor. l hope we
will be able to get the right man in
the chair, but all the aspirants for
this responsible position so far, as my
personal knowledge goes, are quail
fled men.

ONE PHASE OF MARRIED LIFE
Seeming UnhappIness Most Probably
Due to Lack Of Something to
Talk About.

II is the eternal tete-a-tete Of mar
ried life that most critics of that bliss
full condition find fault with. From 1t
spring boredom and dull. sodden 81
lence, assert these cynics. Therefore.
a hint for escaping this one depress-
ing quality of marriage should have
our best attention.
To illustrate, you will see 1t ire
ouently on the trolley, when man
and his wife are sitting side by side
il is almost perpetual silence. They
have nothing to say to one another.
Perhaps the wife will emit cheerful
peep. but the husband will respond
with nod Of the head or hes1tat1ng
yes or no. 1t is most always that way.
No common interest observed. In fact.
it looks as if they are mad at one an
other; as if they were bored. A young
man or woman looking on the couple
would be apt to say: 20. you married
life"
But they are not mad. Let some
charming lady acquaintance come In
and sit down by the husband and he Ia
all smiles and has plenty to say. Then
he is a cordial companion. He Is
changed man. And the same it would
be with the woman. Now, don't misin-
terpret the scene. When that man and
wife get back home they drop their
trolley manners and act sensibly and
lovingly again. Mad-he would just
as likely be mad at the evening star
or a bush full OF roses. But you
wouldn't think it on the trolley.-New
York Tribune.
