A NEW FARM LIFE.

AS one drives over the roads of
Abbeville county, he is impressed
with the great progress which is be-
ing made in the manner of tilling
the lands, and with the bright future
which is ahead of US as an agricul-
tural community. For twenty years,
the people of the state have given
their thought to the building of cot
ton mills, oil mills, and other indus
trial enterprises. We have neg
lected the basis of all prosperity
the agricultural interests of the COM
I1unity.
But the people in the last ten
years have noticed wonderful
change in the manner of farming.
The fields are nicely cleared for the
crops, the lands are terraced and
ditched to prevent waste by washing,
the work of the two horse plow is
in evidence, and about the farm
houses you will see big mules, good
wagons, and a store of farming ma
chinery to do all kinds of work,
(which latter we must say is some
times too much left to the mercy of
the elements however.)
But what impresses us most is the
beauty and comfort of the modern
farm house. When we were a boy,
there was but one type of building
for the prosperous farmer. He
built two story house with hall in

A JOKE BOOK.

The friends of Governor Manning,
or some persons thereunto duly au-
thorized, according to newspaper re-
r"rts, have gotten out thirty-one
page pamphlet entitled, "Some Rea-
sons Why the Governor Should Be
Reelected" We take it for grant
ed that the majority of the reasons
which occurred to the writer's have
been set forth with more than "due
care under the circumstances"
The little pamphlet, is not entirely
what it purports to be, or if it is, it
is more than what it purports to be.
1t is joke book cleverly gotten up
by the authors. Interspersed with
the many imaginary reasons discover
ed as to why the Governor and no.
body else should be elected, are
number of good jokes, which the
carefully inclined may work out,
much as you look for needle in a
hay-stack.
The little book will be of great
use to guests entertaining parties of
summer visitors. Many pleasant
evenings may be spent in hunting
out the jokes and in eliminating them
from the other matters set forth and
in guessing which one of the Cover
nor's story writer's got off the partic-
ular joke found. Prizes may be
awarded to the person finding the
most jokes and guessing who wrote
them.
In these guessing contests, in or
der to give the guessers a start it is
usual to take one of the puzzles to
be solved, solve it for the guessers,
and thus put them on the right track.
In line with this ancient custom we
hazard the guess that Col. w. w.
Bradley got this one off on the Gov
ernor: He is "not a politician"

SOUTHERN TO OPERATE VET.
ERANS SPECIAL TO BIRMING-
HAM MONDAY, MAY 18th.

For accommodation of Veterans
and their friends attending Annual
Reunion, Birmingham, Ala, May 16-
18, Southern Railway have arranged
a Veterans Special" from South
Carolina points.
This train will be operated on same
schedule as the famous "Birming-
ham Special" which leaves Spartan
burg TOO a. M, Greenville 500 a.
M, and Seneca 9:15 a. M, Monday,
May 18th. This train will consist of
modern day coaches and pullman
cars.
There will also be a special ar
ranged to leave Anderson sos a. m.
same date, via Blue Ridge Railway,
which will connect with the Veterans
Special at Seneca. This special
train will make all stops from Spar
tanburg to Westminster inclusive,
thence through to the great city of
Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the
South arriving at this point 5:45 P.
NJ, May 18th.
You will note that this special will
arrive Birmingham in ample time
for ell to secure their hotel accommo-
dations, etc., before night.
The Southern Railway will also
provide extra equipment on all their
regular trains on account of this
great reunion.
A special representative of the
Southern Railway will accompany
this train through to Birmingham
and everything will be done to give
everyone a most comfortable trip.

the middle, with two rooms on the
first floor and two on the second,
with an ell for kitchen, etc., and a
long piazza in front. We never
understood just how this style of ar
chitecture became so popular, be-
cause it was not conducive either to
beauty or comfort, and the lumber
which was used in the houses would
have built much more compact and
serviceable buildings.
But the modern farm houses are
up-to-date in every respect. They
have the lines and finish of the city
houses. They are planned for the
comfort of the family and for the
most part, for the saving of the wo-
men from useless climbing of steps.
The cottages are nicely painted, and
the furnishings from the outside show
that the keepers of the houses are
women of taste and refinement. And
when you pass them late in the even
ing and get a Whit of the good
things being prepared for the even
ing meal, you of the towns are car
ried back to a recollection of better
days.
And the people who are making
the farms, and building the houses
are not only making the country
prosperous, but they are building up
the country churches which a few
years ago were almost absorbed by
the cities, and the school houses are
being made habitable and inviting to
teachers and pupils alike. The best
work that is done along educational
lines these days is done in the coun-
try schools by the faithful women
who are devoting so much of their
energies to training the boys and
girls, and it must please them that
they are beginning to live in a grow
ing and prosperous country where
at last their efforts will be appreci-
ated, and where they may hope at
last to receive the "well done" of
the people of the state.
1t is not back to the country
movement, because the people who
have left the farms and gone to
town are lost to the farms. They
have made connections in the towns
and cities which keep them there, and
if they returned, they would find
themselves surrounded by a new ag-
riculture of which they are ignorant
The credit belongs to the young men
and young women raised on the
farms who know the future of the
country, its advantages and its priv
ileges, and who have chosen to live
where they were born, and work
out not only their own salvation
there, but the salvation of the coun-
try. They have learned that the
farm is as fit place for the man of
intelligence and thought as the Of
flee, and that an educated and cul-
tured motherhood is not a useless
gift to the country homes.

A 1916 THOUGHT.

If you think you are beaten you are,
If you think you dare not you don't,
If you'd like to win, but you think
you can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.
If you think you will lose you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed you
are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win prize.
Life's battles don't always 90
10 the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can.

PLAY GROUND AND PARK.

All cities that are run according
to modern ideas, find it necessary to
provide places of outdoor amuse-
ment and recreation for their inhabi-
tants, especially for the children.
Large cities find it necessary to
provide parks, and they supplement
these with play grounds for children.
New York City has something like
14O parks, and public play grounds
without number.
The smaller cities of this State, at
least those that have population of
over 5000, have parks, though in
the rarest instance have they had
the good fortune to secure property
that is naturally adapted to public
amusement and public pleasure.
Abbeville should have a park; and
the land should be secured now,
while land prices are reasonable.
Fortunately, there is a natural
park within easy reach of the public
square in Abbeville. There is no
SPOT in the state so clothed with
natural beauty as the private park
owned by the estate of the late
Judge J. C. Klugh. 1t is shaded by
primeval forest and threaded by
a rambling brook that breaks off
here and there in waterfalls. In
the hands of patriotic set of trus-
tees, which should be selected by
the city council, with little or no
expense, it could be made "a thing
of beauty and joy forever"
Aside from the beauty and pic
turesqueness of this spot, it has
ideal grounds we'll shaded and suited
to tennis courts, basket ball grounds
and play grounds for the little folks.
There just below the waterfalls, a
swimming pool could be built, which
in other small cities has been shown
to be a source of good revenue.
Abbeville needs this park now, and
she will need it more and more with
the coming years.
The real question for considera-
ton is, how can it be secured at
minimum cost to the city? We
venture suggestion. Suppose the
property can be bought for reason
able price: we suggest that those
who are willing to do so, say one
hundred men and women, give or
obligate themselves for a certain
proportion each, raise the money
and buy the property and deed 1T to
trustees as a park for white citizens
of the city, or if this cannot be
done the city might issue five per
cent bonds to run for 20 years, to
be accepted by the owners in pay
ment for the property. This would
entail very small tax, and owing
to the natural advantages of the
spot, the expense of adding artificial
attractions would be very small.
Certainly the citizens of the city
would contribute to make these at
fractions possible.
There is no good reason why Abb
beville should be behind similar
towns in upper South Carolina, in
this regard. The people of other
towns have gone to much greater
expense than this would require, and
vet, they cannot possibly have
grounds that approach this park In
natural beauty.
A public park would be enjoyed
by every man, woman and child in
the city, and we believe the citizens
should consider the need OF the
park and respond.

PARADE OF THE AUTO.

My auto, tits of thee,
Short cut to poverty
Of thee I chant.
I blew a pile of dough
On you one year ago;
Now you refuse to 60,
Or won't or can't.
4:
Through town and countryside
You were my joy and pride,
A happy day.
I loved thy gaudy hue,
Thy nice white tires so new;
Now you look bum for true
In every way.
To thee, old rattle box,
Came many bumps and knocks;
For thee cry.
I paid for thee q price
'Twould buy a mansion twice,
Now they are yelling ice
wonder why.
Badly thy top is worn;
Prayed is. thy seat and torn,
You poor old pal.
Just one short year ago.
i did not think or know
My funds would be SO low
AS they are now.
Thy motor has the grip,
Thy sparkling plug the pip,
And woe be thine.
I. too, have suffered ills,
Ague and kindred chills,
Trying to pay my bills,
Since thou vert mine.
Gone is my bank roll now;
No more 'twould choke a cow,
AS once before.
Yet, if I had the "mon,"
So help me Finnigan,
I'd buy a car again
And speed some more.
