POETRY.
WITH A SMILE,


 Meet whatever the world may bring with a smile and jog along; There's always a song for the song you sing fl your heart is in the song, And when you meet the world with a smile it's sure to smile on you, While over your head the sun burns bright and the velvet skies are blue.
 Meet whatever the world may bring with cheery hope and trust; Kick up your heels and dance along, and sing and smile and be just Whatever you give the world it gives a measure of that and more To add In the end as on you wend to the wealth of your little store. Meet whatever the world may bring witf faith that naught can shatter; There's always something that's not jus right there's always something tht matter.
 But the heart that goes along with 2 song, and the lips that go with ; smile
 Shall sing a song for their own ere .oni and smile from the afterwh:ic

Taken Us a whole, the proposed

It appears most excellent. To build
roads at present, however. Is going to

people are willing they can have the

which must either be borrowed or
paid In taxes.

It is scarcely conceivable that the
'arge number OF recent deaths caused
by wood alcohol can be attributed to
ignorance. Certainly everybody who
drinks must know that the stuff Is
deadly poison. With such knowledge
It does not seem likely that the crav-
ing for alcohol would completely de-
stroy the instinct of self preservation.
1t must be that these poor people
were the victims Of dastardly greed
on the part of. bootiessers VINO were
willing TT murder sor q slight gain.
The government should run them to
earth and fit their punishment to the
crime.

ATTEND BOIL wEEvn MEETING

Every business man, every banker
and every farmer ought to make 1t q
point to attend the boil weevil confer
ence to be held under the auspices Of
Clemson College at the court house
Thursday, January 22. We cannot
get too much information about the
great cotton pest which has done so
much damage in other States. For
tunateiy we have the experience Of
these other States to guide us in the
fight to whip the weevil. Our agricul-
tural experts have studied the ques-
ton in the light OF the experience Of
the cotton states to the south of us
and auTTc- c-ETAIOSHRDLUS
and ought to be able to give some
valuable information to all concern
ed.
From the best information obtain
able it seems unlikely that the boil
weevil will likely do very great dam
age to the next crop in this county.
but reliance upon this idea has prov
ed disastrous in other states, which
have continued to grow big cotton
crops just one year too long. To
abandon cotton as the money crop
would be. foolish under present cir
cumstances, but it would be as fool
ish to place reliance in one more all
cotton crop. The botter plan would
seem to be to make every farm thor
oughly self sustaining. with food in
plenty for man and heast plant the
remainder in cotton and cultivate as
intensively as possible.
After all the fight against the wee
vii is going to be fight of the indi-
vidual, and perhaps no amount of
advice is going to save some individ-
.:als, but everybody ought to come to
the conference and learn what he can,
applying the knowledge gained in the
best way to suit his individual prob
lem.

FOR PRESIDENT.

The year 1890 is not only leap year.
it Is also presidential campaign year.
Matters political are somewhat mix
cd, with a good number of "favorite
sons on the lookout for the RepubIi-
hcan nomination for president, in
fact there are SO many after it that
some are inclined to think the chances
are good for it's being more than an
empty honor. General Leonard Wood
is among the leading candidates. while
Senator Hiram johnson of California
and others are In the running, along
with Governor Coolridge of. Massa-
chusetts. The really biggest man in
the Republican party today, however,
is William Howard Taft. It may be
that in the final showdown the dis
cordant elements OF the Republicans
may select Mr.. Taft as q compromise
candidate. We fail to see where Gem
eral Wood has any particular claim,
and his decided views on compulsory
military training would make him a
most dangerous man to place at the
mead or the government.
On the Democratic side there l.
very little activity SO far, doubtless
owing to the unsettled state of tho
peace treaty negotiations many be-
feving that If the treaty is defeated
Woodrow Wilson will seek a third
term in vindfcation Of his position on
this question. But Mr.. Wilson has
recently refused to allow his name to
be used in the primaries. which may
indicate his decision not to try the
hoodoo of a third term. It is enire-
y probable that as soon as doubt is
absolutely removed as to the presi-
dents intentions there will be a de-
cided impetus given to the campaign
for the Democratic nomination. Mo-
vember Is good while away and
