mandments:-
1.-You shall sell your farm pro-
ducts for cash whenever you can,

your money; meanwhile, you will
have to wait patiently a few weeks

NEWS NOTES

Mir. and Mrs. Jack Roman have ar rived in the city from the hills where Mir. Roman has been prospecting for some time. The Fairbanks papers recently took notice of his good opinion of this section as a mining country.
 F. Aldrich, who was elected to the ter ritorial senate from Nome and James Daily and Martin Moran, who were elected to the house, have left that camp on little schooner called the Silver Wave for the outside.
 Two pleasant affairs took place Saturday evening. One was a party given by Miss Babe White and the other was the first of the dances to be given during the winter at the Casino.
 We have all heard of losing Christ mas but recently near this city Christ mas was lost on Thanksgiving. Some days ago a man told the Gateway that he had heard cries for help near Resurrection river on Thanksgiving Day and believed some one had per ished. After enquiries it was found that the cries came from Walter Christmas who had gone out hunting and had come on a river that was running in the opposite direction to that which Resurrection usually fol- lows. Believing all lost he began to shout loudly for help and fortunately attracted another man who lived in the neighborhood and who arrived on the scene to find Mir. Christmas sit ting on the railroad track, The river and the railroad had remained in the same place and while he was shouting for help he discovered the fact and so averted a dire disaster.

American Horses in Battle.

The American horse is one of
the first to answer the bugle
call of the European war. Rep
resentatives of many foreign
governments are in this country
purchasing horses for the varieus
armies of the warning nations
and practically every State in
the Union is contributing cavalry
material to the belligerent fac
tions. The American horse is a
utility animal and excels that of
any other country on the face of
the earth. He has plowed our
fields, fought our battles and is
the most faithful of animal kind.
His reputation has extended to
other countries and he is now
going to perform the services for
foreign countries which he has
SO faithfully fulfilled at home.

Rural Telephones.

The telephone is one of the
most profitable business agencies
that the farmer or rural resident
can employ. 1t affords him
facilities for keeping in constant
communication with the mar
kets, provides a sitting room for
the community where the fami-
lies can assemble and discuss the
events of the day without the
inconvenience of travel or loss of
time. and in sickness and emer-
gencies, it renders a divine SER
vice. South Carolina farmers
should encourage the building of
telephone lines. Local CO.
operative companies can be
formed and country lines built
at small expense.
