Scott Liked Work-Pressure.

Scott, who was poet, novelist, law
yer, too, would have been greatest Of
all as journalist. Listen to this from
his Journal for February Is, 1926:
Yesterday / did not write line Of
Woodstock Partly, I was little out
of spirits Partly, l wanted to
wait for some new ideas. . Partly,
/ was little too far beyond the press.
! cannot pull well in long traces, when
the draught is too far behind me. I
love to have the press humping, clat-
tering and banging in my rear; it Gre
ates the necessity which almost makes
me work best. Needs must when the
devil drives. There is the very
spirit of journalism; and that devil,
surely, is the printers devil"

What Are Yor Doing to Boost the South:

The railroads are spending thousands
of dollars annually in advertising The
resources of the Southern States.
The Atlantic Coast Line Agricultural
Department is again putting up an ex-
hibit OF farm products, vegetables.
fruits, tobacco, cotton, grains and
forage OF all kinds, grown in Virginia,
North and South Carolina. Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, to be shown this
summer and fall at a number OF the
large fairs in the States Of New York,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Maryland, in sections not so favored by
nature, climstically, as 1.-The Nations
Garden Spot"
A representative of the Agricultural
Department of the Atlantic Coast Line
has just returned from trip through
the East and North where space was
contracted for at eight mammoth fairs,
and he reports great interest mani
tested, and that the exhibit will be
viewed by several hundred thousand
people.
Handsome illustrated literature de-
criptive of the resources OF the States
of Virginia. North and South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida and Alabama, will be
freely distributed.
This kind of advertising has real ed
ucational value. It reaches the people
and it should result in bringing many
good homeseekers into our midst.
The success of the undertaking will,
in q measure, depend upon the cooper
alton received from the farmers, and
others interested in agriculture. If you
raise or know f anyone raising pro-
ducts suitable for this exhibit. such as
native forage, alfalfa, corn tobacco,
small grains, good samples of fruits
and vegetables, ETC., you can help by
communicating with the Agricultural
and Immigration Department OF the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company.
Wilmington, N. G.
A laIge express car will be required
to transport the exhibit. Time of de-
parture from Wilmington: N. c., about

It takes its name from the River Swat,
the Soastes Of the ancient Greek

The Manning -four mill is now ready
for operation, and on Monday, we un-
derstand, Mr.. Erwin bought about fifty
bushels of wheat from q Mayesville
farmer, paying the cash for it. This is
one of the most beneficial institutions
ever started 10 our town: The mill
will run the year round and those hav-
ing wheat for sale can find market
here for it. In opening up this new
market. there will be money circulat-
ing all the time. You can sell your
wheat as you need the cash, or dispose
of it at one time, which will give you
money q month or six weeks before to-
bacco comes in. Mr.. Erwin deserves
much credit for what be is doing, and
we hope Manning will not have another
barrel of -four shipped here, but will
pa,ronize this home industry.

The Actors Mistake.

Toole, the English actor, used to get
of a good thing occasionally. At din
ner at country hotel he was sitting
next to a gentleman who had helped
himself to an extraragantly large piece
Of bread. Toole took it up and began
to cut a slice from it. "Sir," said the
indignant gentleman, that is my
bread" II beg thousand pardons,
sir" replied the actor, Il mistook 1t for
