on the morning of November 10th. a

was glad to have the little history
OF some of your relations, especially
of "Jim." I call to mind that one
day back in the sixties, somewhere
between '.65 and 10, l helped to haul
wagon load of wheat to Aul's mill
Just outside of town and stayed all
night while the wheat was being
ground and hauled it back home as
flour the next day. I was living then
on James Adams farm adjoining the
old Reuben Gillian place and Capt.
Keitt's farm on Enoree. James
Adams was my mothers second hus-
band by whom she had a daughter,
my half sister, and who is now living
in your town. She is the widow of
J. Monroe Wicker. No doubt you
were acquainted with Monroe.
You mentioned in your letter thst
you thought I must have left old
Newberry many years ago. In 1878
I attended the Peabody school at
Greenville, under Capt. Patrick, for
one term, and in 1871 I was at the
Furman university for term. Old
DR.. Furman was then living, and we
had such teachers as Professor Jud-
son and Professor Harris. Those
years were the time Of my life. After
leaving the university | went back
home, and in the latter part of July,
III, i left home for Baltimore to
attend the Bryant, Stratton and Sad
Ter Bsuiness college. I was there
until the last days of III, when I had
made up my mind to go to Philadel-
phia and look around that burg for a
day or two as I had never been that
far north, then / would take steam
er for Charleston on my way home.
But-that never happened. Just be-
fore was to leave Baltimore let

asked me if l would care to try for
the position. I thought it over for
a while and I concluded as had nev.

be a good chance for me to see Will

I would go on to Philadelphia and
consummate my first intentions.

FINE SWEET POTATOES.

The editor is indebted to Mr.. w.
q. Nichols for a lot Of very fine sweet
potatoes. One in the lot weighed five
pounds, and they were as sweet and
fine as large. With the fine potatoes
and all the other good things we can
grow to eat in this country the Won
der is that any one should ever be
heard to- complain in any respect,
even if cotton does go down in price.
We can not only clothe the world bus
we can feed the world. We need to
learn the art of preserving the po-
tato. It is fine food. And then We
can grow in this country as fine Irish
potatoes as can be grown anywhere.
With the boil weevil here we should
prepare to grow other things besides
cotton, and with all the warning that
we have had if the boil weevil should
cause any hard times it will be only
our own fault. =
Some one has said that the farmers
win not believe that the boil weev.l
will do any harm until there is at
least one failure Of crop. But judg-
ing from an article which we printed
in the last issue the boil weevii does
not continue to do any great amount
of harm. After he has arrived, in
two or three. years, we Judge that the
section visited begins to grow cotton
in the same proportion, as before. 1t
NAV be on account Of better know
ledge of how to grow it. Or it may
be because there is diversiication OF
crops. At any rate it does not seem
that the boil weevil has made any
very great depreciation in the total
crop grown. The plan, after all, foS
the. farmer of this section is to make
his farm self-sustaining, and then
even the boil weevil can do no great
damage. And the farm that is not so
made never makes any great amount
Of: money.
y AS our old friend John Crooks
SAYS: "Give the. boil weevil hi, and
that is what We are doing down here
Housing plenty for man and beast.
don't fear him bit. I believe ne
will do the planters of the cotton
belt more good than fighting Jimmie
Cox could have done had ne bee:'
elected" He says they call him OLD
deaf John Crooks, but as Hambone
says, II am only IS years young, and
can do more work than half the
young negroes" He wants all crues
wars stopped and everybody put to
work, rich and poor, to feed the
starving women and children and
then he wants to go fishing. That /:
the trouble. There is need for nor,
work. And then 60 a-ishing.

Newbery college came down IN the

St. Lukes needs new school,

negro fair at Vaughnville and eX-

new building is in process Of erec-
ton and then come back by Smyrna
to the community fair at this school.
Every now and then some one WILL
call and say that he was in the OF

is true. I do not expect to be in the
Office at the court house only when
there is something there that needs
to be done. The law requires that

Monday and Thursday I will be in

Eannous Art Collection.

works OF art made by the late Ii Hung
Chang, one-tImc yiceroy of China,
which for years collectors tried vainly
to acquire, has finally been bought by
a Swedish syndicate. The purchase
price is understood to have been more
than o million krone (nominaIly about
S2S0,000). but the intrinsic value Of
the collection is incacuable.
Ii Hung Chang died in 1901 lie

er than anything of its kind in the
empire. 1t included numerous old
paintings, bronzes OF great worth and

Business Mind.

There Is no better test OF mans

ordln0tes who make mistakes.
j. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, had a
clerk who, living beyond his means.
sought to make up the balance through
speculation; and. having failed, helped
himself to the firms money.
The culprit was called into Mr.. Nor
gan's private Office.
He expected arrest. Instead he was
told to go home and tell his wife all
about it. and tomorrow morning.
said Mr.. Morgan. "see me again"
The clerk obeyed, and Mr.. Morgan,
to the young fellows amnzement,
handed him in bills the full amount OF
his pecuation - $500 - with "Put
That back where you took the other
from. II is loan from me, and ex-
pect you to return il as soon as you
can. None OF the other clerks know
anything about 1t. Let me see II you
can't be man."
After many months the youngster
restored to Mr.. Morgan the last dollar
Of the debt
After counting the pile Of bills on
his desk, to which he had added those
just given him, Mr.. Morgan observed:
"Well, my boy, 1t was bit harder
saving it than losing 1t. I'll warrant.
Now take it home and give it to your
wife. IFS n safe bet that she saved
most Of it."-Boston Post.
