MAKING THEM PARTNERS

Make your daughter your par tner," the Country Gentleman advises the farmer. It is demon strated in the article that daugh- ters make good partners, that they rise to responsibility, devel- op under confidence and tend to stay on the farm in which they have a personal and financial share.
 About the same time, the Mary land Farmer prints a poem in which a stranger asks the farm boy, now town dweller, why he bolted. There is a lot of the poem, tut a few lines will give the gist of the boys reply: left my dad, his farm, his blow, Because my calf became his COW; I left my dad-'twas wrong, of course Because my colt became his horse; left my dad to SOW and reap Because my lamb became his shee; I dropped my hoe and stuck my fork Because my pig became his pork; The garden truck that I made grow Was his to sell and mine to hoe.
 So the boy went to town, not because he liked smoke and dlrt and noise, but because he wanted something that was his own.
 There is a lot of truth in it all, and it applies to other places be- sides farms.
 Cooperation makes for content ment. An interest in the busi- ness for which one has toiled makes all the toll worth while. Nobody who has attained to years of discretion, and who has any ambition, is going to remain con- tented very long where another reaps all the fruit of his labor. - Tucson Star.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is noth- ing serious about a loss of appi- tite, and if you skip a meal or on- ly eat two meals a day for few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should always elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period of rest before a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a reasonable amount Of outdoor exercise every day you will not need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by con stipation as is often the case, that should be corrected at once. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it Adv.

 People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagarly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve but not permanently. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity:
 LS. Burns, blacksmith, McCor- mack St., Prescott, Arizona, says: T was very bad off with kidney trouble several years ago. My back was so lame and stiff, 1 could hardly get around. Many times sharp.pains would catch me in my back and nearly take me off my feet. The kidney secre- tions were highly colored and passed irregularly. Doan's Kid ney pills helped me right from the start and in almost no time had permanently cured me. :"

birth and devoting his whole life to
good roads, was in the city Saturday,
attracting much attention by his lit

to his comical and dilapidated little
wagon, his suit of clothes matching
his outfit. There is method in the
makeup. Col. Thatcher was passing
through Newberry on his travels.
Notwithstanding his appearance he is
chief engineer Of roads employed by
the government. He spent Sunday
with Mr.. B. B. Leitzsey, having spok-
en- at Mt. Bethel -Garmany school
house Saturday night to crowded
house. "B. B. says he is an interest

was we'll pleased with him. He is on
his way to Greenwood, and, having
spoken at Dead Fall on Monday, will
speak at the following places this
week: Silverstreet, Mudlick, Vaughn

of Col. Thatcher to the public will be
understood when you know that he
engineered the great highway from
New York to Washington and from

recent meeting of the South Caro-
lima cotton association, to establish a
S2,000,000 cotton bank, to finance
the crop, to enable distress cotton to
be held off the market, and to estab-
lish direct trade with Europe. This
was one of the ideas of the trainers
of the State warehouse law, and was
persistently agitated by the first COM
missioner.
The resolution adopted by the
association to ask the legislature to
tax each bale twenty-five cents at the
gin for the purpose of insuring state
warehouse cotton, would seem to have
in mind the taxing of all cotton,
whether in state warehouse or not,
for the purposes of insuring the cot
ton in state warehouses. 1t is not
probable that such an act would hold
water, because it would hardly be con-
stitutional to tax the cotton of one
man who stored his bales at home or
in a private warehouse, to insure
the cotton of another man who stored
in the state system.
However, some method of mutual
insurance carried by state warehouses
would be of great benefit, and, in
order to be properly developed, the
system should include storing, fnanc-
ing, direct sales and insurance. The
present system is getting along very
much, but the law is not broad enough
for it to accomplish all that it shoulH
At meeting in Charleston on Fri
day night, Mr.. Lawrence NJ. Pinckney,
of that city, was endorsed as a candi-
date for mayor of Charleston by GER
tain members of the Hyde faction,
and asked to 90 into the general
election against Mr. Grace, the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party, under
the recent decision Of the supreme
court. Mr.. Pinckney is quoted as
saying that she could not as Demo-
crat run on the 'anti-Grace' ticket,
as he considered such action would
constitute bolt from the party"
It is hardly probable that the anti
Grace facion will now put out a
candidate. It. appears that some of
them want to 60 into the general
election, as evidenced by the Friday
night meeting, but Mr.. Pinckney's
statement will probable end the mat
ter.
The election is to be held on Tues
day.
1t would seem that upon ''whose
OK is gored," depends the attitude of
various political factions as to
threatened "bolts."

A BRIGHT LETTER FROM
BEN HOPE, THE SHUT-lN

To the Editor The Herald and News:
On my list Of newspaper friends l
find The Herald and News; therefore
I hope you will oblige me by repro
ducing this card early enough to reach
your readers before Christmas.
Among the many who read your paper
are some, I know, who also have
read my writings, who have written
to me in times past, and who mayhap
would like to hear from me again.
owe it to my many unknown friends
and admirers to signify. that | have
not forgotten them; a thing that
have no better way of doing than
through the good newspapers which
have published all of my previous
appeals for help, birthday letters and
calls for contributions, Christmas
greetings to my helpers, etc.
Widely known as the shut-ln
writer and author, l spend my time
in the quiet seclusion of my home, in
reading, studying, and writing
when | am able. l am not quite so
strong this year as formerly, but my
interest in the work which | am try
ing to do, is as keen as it ever was.
| am making good progress in my
studies now; and some day, perhaps,
the world will hear from ''Ben Hope"
the shut-in. l have never ceased to
dream dreams and see visions"
hope to hear from all of my good
friends and admirers this Christmas.
Anv sort of greeting will be appre-
ciated. While need a little help
sometimes, still l am not writing this
especially as an appeal for help. Yet
it occurs to me that there are many
liberal givers, helpers of the poor
and needy, who would love to light
en- the burden of my crippled, pow
erty-laden life of seclusion and lone
illness, this Christmas, by contrl-
button. Hence my desire to see this
card printed in your paper l
really hope that the response to my
yearly appeal, this Christmas, for
aid and good cheer will be bigger than
ever before. My references are good; !;
icing hundreds-perhaps thousands
of good friends, both known and un-
Known, everywhere, far and near, who
have contributed to my welfare and
happiness, on no evidence of the
sincerity of my calls and reality OF
NV need other than my appeals as
reproduced in the newspapers from
line to time. And without this man
Hesitation of the public's sympathy
for, desire to help, and confidence IN

would indeed be full of gloom.

This fine December morning, as l
write. my heart is made glad by my
anticipation of the great abundance
of good cheer which the postman Will

several mornings in succession, dur
ing the Christmas holidays. And
soon I am going to publish a new
booklet especially for, and as a
memorial to, the great-hearted lovers
