''Ihere Is No Devil Now!'

Men don't believe in the devil now.
as their fathers used to do;
They forced the door of the broadest
creed to let his Majesty through;
There isn't q point Of his cIoven foot,
or a fiery dart from his bow,
To be found in earth or air, to-day,
for the world has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught
that palsies heart and brain
And loads the earth of each passing
year with a hundred thousand
slain?
Who Nblights the bloom Of the land
today with the fiery. breath of
hell,
If the devil isn't and never was?
Won't somebody rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint,
and digs the pits for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the field of time
wherever God sows His wheat :?
The devil is voted not to be, and of
course the thing is true;
But who is doing the kind of work
the devil alone should do;
We are told that he does not go about
as a roaring lion now;
But whom shall we hold responsible
for the everlasting row
TIC De heard in home, in Church, in
State. to the earth's remotest
u bound.

But simple people would like to know
who carries his business on? =,

BOIL sWEEvIn9 PRoBIEAd.I !.

It is a, pity that every farmer and
business man in Lexington county
could not have heard Prof. McCon-
nell's talk about the boil weevil, be-
cause there was much sound advice
given that it would be we'll for our
people to absorb. Among other
things the speaker uttered a timely
warning when he asked the farmers
not to pay too much attention to
those who told them that they could
grow rich planting any one crop. Di-
versification in it's broadest sense
must be the method pursued If the
fight against the boil weevil is suc-
cessful. To be sure there are many
other money crops than cotton and
their growth would insure an income
more equally distributed & over the
year. But--andt It is a larger. but
than at first appeara--there iss the
problem OF a steady market. The
problem of providing a steady reliable
market for varied assortment of
farm products is to come extent one
for the towns and cities to aid in
working out. Their own prosperity is
too closely interviewer with that OF
the farmers for them to neglect &
work which VIII insure their own
profit. But besides this there musl
be organized farmers cooperative So
cieties which will make arrangements
for providing avenues Of sale for all
that can be raised.
