PITn AND POINT.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than
to wish him good luck.
"Lovc just happens" says a woman
writer. So do mistakes.
Only those who hesitate can have
the benefit of second thought.
Swimming the English channel is
not a very popular sport just now.
It is better to take up another line of
work than to remain in the has been"
class.
While q man knows that be pays
high for experience. he keeps on buy
ing 1t.
Sometimes u man just pays you q
compliment when he owes you real
money.
Huerta says this is a great nation.
1t was a trife too great for Huerta's
own good.
Every young man should understand
that his dead ancestors cannot hold his
Job for him. 4
Fools not only rush In where angels
fear to tread. but they sometimes get
away with it a.
Possibly a cleanup week in the Bal
kans would go far toward dfspelling
the typhus plague.
Another queer turn of fate fixes
things SO that those who need friends
the most usually have the least.
1t may be that increasing wealth is
attended with care. but man is willing
to be q caretaker in the matter of
coin.

claring that its delegated strength was
based OIL, the new club enrolment

Good.
Mayesville, May 4.-On last Friday
afternoon, New Lowry, colored, shot
and killed Peterson Muldrow, color.
ed. on the Rhodes place, just across
Black River from Mayesville. Lowry
escaped into the woods and has not
been apprehended. From all accounts
the murder was a most brutal One 1t
is said that the two negroes had been
ut odds for sometime concerning do
mestic troubles. Muldrow was a ne
gro Of good reputation and was well
liked by both white and colored. 1t
is thought that the fugitive has prob
ably made his escape to Florida or
some Other distant point.
The new steel Jail for the town has
been completed and Mayesville now
has a modern n sanitary Jail in ev-
cry respect. The cells occupy the rear
of the town building, which is of
brick, while other parts are to be
used for the fire apparatus and police
headquarters. The building is con-
veniently located and will fill a long
felt want here.
h town authorities have been
giving the town a thorough cleaning
up and loads upon loads Of rubbish
have been hauled out Of the limits.
1t Is hoped to keep the town as
clean as possible during the summer
months in order 10 remove any cause
Of sickness.
From all reports, the crops in this
section are in q satisfactory condi-
ton. Cotton IS up generally and
some of the farmers are chopping out.
All grain crops look good. Those
who are planting tobacco are well
satisfied with their prospects so far.
The recent rains have done much to
improve the condition Of the crops
both in the fields and in the gardens.
Some fertilizer is still being delivered
here, but the bulk Of the traffic is
over. Probably, the receipts here
fell off about 40 per cent. from the
average. 1t is said that the acreage
in cotton has not been reduced as
much as expected, but there are un-
doubleday many more acres planted in
grain and tobacco than formerly.

ing the stick from the child's brain

When johnson saw what had happen
ed he tainted and remained uncon-
scious until revived by neighbors. The
accident is one Of the most singular
IN the annals Of the county. The
coroner's inquest held today returned
q verdict to the effect that death was
accidental. Johnson, however. was
committed to the county Jail to await
an investigation.
The whip used by Mr.. Johnson had
a short leather thong on the end of it
and as he drew it back to strike the
boy the leather came off so that wher.
ne made the lick the boy was missed
and the handle slipped readily from
his hand going small end foremost

ton is Political.
Columbia, May 5.-William A.
Stuckey, i prominent farmer of Lee

in the city yesterday.
What is this about a new society
of farmers said to be organized in the

There is such a society,"" he re-
piled. Il am q member of it,"
What is the nature of tt"
That l can't tell YOU" said Nh.
Stuckey. smiling; 1.-The society is Sc
cret. l can't discuss its
can only say that if it's are
carried out, Lee will be the most pros
porous county in South Carolina"
Mr.. Stuckey declined to say whether
or not the organization was political,
or to commit himself further than as
quoted.
AT any rate" the reporter said
you give me this much of a story
that you are a member disposes of the
rumor that it is a society composed
exclusively of tenant farmers" Mr.
Stuckey is a landholder.
When the reporter inquired if he
could join the order, MI. Stuckey sale
that 1t was confined to farmers.

He closed with the statement that he
was governor of all the people and
stood ready to lend any assistance in
his power to the advancement and
welfare of the people. The governor
was given an ovation and presented
with several bouquets of roses.
Commissioner T.. j. Watson follow
ed the governor and he was intro
duced as the IMAM whom we all are
proud OF and who stands head and
shoulders above the other agricultural
commissioners of the country" Col.
Watson was received with cheers and
at once launched into his attack on
the rocks of ignorance" He said
that as Gov. Manning was concerned
with the enforcement of the criminal
laws so he had preached enforcement
of the economic laws. He said had
the people been educated there
would not have been the theoretics
and the histories of last fall and he
urged the people to get back to the
first principles of agriculture. The
commissioner of agriculture told in
bold fashion and without mincing
words the curse of the one crop sys-
tenn OF cotton and he hammered home
the fact hat South Carolina farmers
sacrificed everything to grow cotton
and brought all Of their foodstuffs
and live stock from the West, men
tioning mules. cattle. canned goods,
bread and meats and the other foods
for man and beast: He urged the
people to 'live at home" and frs.
raise the necessities Q. life and then
plant cotton for a surplus. This con-
dition he said would not result in
hard times If another situation such
as that of last fall came on the coun-
try.
Col. Watson urged the building of
good roads and the getting out OF
the mud" and said the roads ought

toned the soil incubation now sold
to farmers by his department at cost
and stressed the need Of soil build
ing and the planting of leguminous
crops. Col. Watson referred to the
reported secret organization of farm
ers as "a miserable organization from
whom 1 would never ask a reward
Col. Watson was given hearty APP
plause and presented with roses.
At the conclusion of the speaking
the people crowded to the platform
and shook hands with Gov. Manning
and Commissioner Watson. The gov
ernor had been taken to Leesville
from Columbia in a machine with
