HERE AND THERE

II tell you," remarked a member
Of the York county grand jury the
other day, "Messrs. w. B. Riddle, Joe
Adams and T. ]. Patrick deserve a
great deal of the credit for putting
stop to this thing Of those North
Carolina folks getting liquor via Clo-
yer. They were the persons who
came before the grand jury and made
the complaint. Had it not been for
them the grand jury would have
taken no action in the matter and
Clover would still be the Mecca Of the
thirsty sons Of CASTOR"
1.-The meanest man." remarked a
we'll known sportsman the other day,
"is he who will prohibit other people
from hunting on his lands and then
hunt on everybodys land himself.
There are a few Of that kind around
here and according to my mind they
are the meanest kind Of fellows
so mean they would take candy from
a baby"
Have you ever noticed" inquired
Yorkville man the other day, what
difference it makes when revival
is going on in town. II don't mean
that everybody gets religion, OF
course, because they don't Some of
these people never will get it-dont
want it. But anyway when the revi-
val is here, things seem different.
Everybody seems to have a friend.
lier greeting for everybody else, even
those who are the bitterest enemies
seem to soften just little bit. 1t
would be good thing to have one going
on all the time"
ITS going to be a brighter Christ
mas this year than last" casually re-
marked a man Of the Glover section
who happened to be talking to the
reporter the other day. Last year
things looked mighty blue about this
time. Cotton wasn't bringing anything
scarcely and there were many homes
at which Santa Claus hardly looked
in the door. But it's different this
year. The Santa Claus Of the little
folks will feel justified in bringing
them more gifts than he did last
Christmas"
"There aren't as many good bird
dogs as there once were," walled a
we'll known Nimrod the other day.
Ten years ago bird dogs were nu-
merous. But the kind that jump when
you pick up your gun and that are
wiling to hunt until they fall eX-
hausted are very, very scarce now."
There were a few horse traders in
town yesterday and there was some
little trading but not a great deal.
Some people say it was because 1t
was not raining and muddy and be-
cause there wasn't much liquor
around.
THE state warehouse system Is the
only piece Of legislation enacted by
the legislature in long while that
has been Of any real value to the
farmer" observed citizen who
stores his cotton in the state ware
house at Bowling Green, yesterday"
You can save money on cotton il
ycu owe anybody even when 1t Is
bringing IL cents by putting 1t in the
warehouse. For instance, the storage
on 10 bales of cotton in a state ware
house is $3.50. That counts insurance
and all. You can borrow $500 on that
10 bales at per cent. Even were
you to sell your cotton at IL cents
it would bring only $500. The other
way you have secured $500 and still
have our cotton to hold for a better
price. We farmers could not borrow
money that way before the system
was inaugurated. If the legislature
or rather the financial interests, try
to kill the system through the legis-
lature-well. the farmers will surely
kill politically next summer those
