The Optimistic Pessimist

Opportunity differs from the average human being, it knocks but once,
tits sad, also it differs in the fact that it's knock means something more than
just hammering.
The sympathy of women or nan is nt Understandable by other men;
neither cal women understand why mel may laugh at those who arouse
their sympathy It's all in the point of view, after all.

There can be 10 doubt that women bear pain better than men. A glance
at their footwear and then at their radianty smiling faces gives the proof

Notice to Veterans.

DR.. G. w. Garland, chairman of the

This is necessary under the law, in
order that all veterans may receive

tied. All veterans and widows will
please take notice and comply with
this regulation, and any readers of
The Herald who may know of vet

Advertising Efficiency.

Perhaps the biggest advertising
campaign ever conducted by mer-
chant Of this county is now being car
ried on by Goolsby & Son, of Den
mark. E. J. Sullivan, sales expert,
of Minneapolis, is conducting the sale
at this Denmark store. Mr.. Sullivan
is an expert in advertising and is a
firm believer in the power of printer s
ink. To start the sale off Mr.. Sulli-
van had $4,000 four page posters
printed in The Herald office, followed
by a page advertisement in this news
paper. This was followed by the
''airplane edition. with which unique
means several thousand circulars were
distributed from an airplane. The
past week seven thousand more cir
culars were printed and distributed
throughout this section.
AS a result of this tremendous ad-
vertising campaign, Mr.. Goolsby says
that his store is crowded from morn
ing to night by eager purchasers. The
past ten days The Herald has been
given over almost entirely to deliv-
ering the advertising matter for this
monster sale. It is evident that right
prices coupled with efficient advertis-
ing will produce results.

HAS SLEEPING SICKNESS.
Young Greenville Man Now Being
Treated.

Greenville, Jan. 22.-Physicians at
John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore
have diagnosed the puzzling af1iction
of l. Rex Rice, prominent young resi-
dent of Greenville, as sleeping sick
ness, but it is believed that he has
an excellent chance for recovery. This
is the information brought to the
city today by a brother of Mr.. Rice,
Max Rice.
Mr.. Rice suffered from undue droW-
siness a week or two ago and physi-
clans here were unable to diagnose
the disease. Upon their advice, rela-
tives carried him to the Baltimore
hospital where he has been sleeping
except at very brief intervals, when
awakened, for almost a week during
examinations by specialists at the
hospital where he has been sleeping
to remain awake longer than to an
swer one or two questions. This is
the first case of sleeping sickness
which has developed in Greenvlle, it
is said. 1t is believed the case is
light one but there seems to be no
doubt but that it is sleeping sickness
Physicians have told Mr.. Rice's rela-
tives that he will likely have to re-
main in the hospital for several weeks
but that his complete recovery is ex-
pected. Mr.. Rice is president and
manager of the Judson Mill Store
here, and is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joel T. Rice, prominent residents of
Bolton. He, is about thirty, is un-
married and talented vocalist,
singing in church choirs and at num-
erous musical concerts here.

The semi-annual meeting of the

The scientific programme was one

The Unhappy Chance.

An American tells of visit he
once made to the town of Yuste, in
the northwestern corner of Spain.
He had sought rest under discourg-
ing circumstances, after a ride on
mule-back over miles of dusty road
While the hostess of the inn was
preparing dinner, he proposed to him
self to rest upon the bed in the pub
lie room.
Nothing could, he said, have been
more tempting than that cool white
bed, after his laborious trip, and
without saying a word to the Sonora
Pareno, he threw himself at full
length upon it.
Scarcely had he done so when a
shrek arose, and the little woman
flew at him like wild creature. She
seized him and dragged him off the
bed with the strength of two men. He
was too much dazed to resist, but re-
treated before her.
"Oh, Dios mio, Dois mio!' she
shouted. "They are ruined--ruined! y
Whereupon she tore back the cover
of the bed, and to the travellers
amazement disclosed row after row
of biscuits! They had been placed
there to rise. TO rise! Down the
center of the rows his weight had
fattened them beyond recognition;
only at the farthest edge had few
escaped.

WORK ON THE OLD ORCHARD.
Give it a Chance by Looking After
the Trees Carefully.

Work on the old orchard should
begin at once, and should consist of
thorough and careful spraying, prun-
ing and cultivation. Why these OPP
erations?
1. Pruning. Preserves the life,
health and vigor Of the trees by re-
moving the dead wood, diseased and
interfering branches, concentrates the
growth into fruit forming branches
and encourages new weed growth in
support of the next crop of fruit.
2. Spraying. Safe guards and
prolongs the life of the trees by re-
pelling insect and disease attacks,
and decreases the percent of wormy
fruit. However, it must be clearly
understood that different pests re-
quire different sprays and that the
winter application of spray is mainly
for preserving the life of the trees.
9. Worming. Fruit trees cannot
be expected to live unless you keep
the worms out. Therefore the worms
that burrow into the root of trees
(the presence being indicated by sap
exudati or jelly near the ground in
the peach and plum and yellowing of
the apple and pear) must be dug and
cut out as spraying does not control
this insect. .
4. Cultivation. Aids in destroying
weeds and grass, reduces the harbor-
ing places of insects, makes plant
food materials available and stimu
late tree growth.
If you are interested in fruit grow
ing either on large or small scale
write, phone or ask your county
agent concerning Orchard Week and
arrange to attend some of the field
demonstrations that will be given in
the county during the week designat-
ed as "Orchard Week."
There is only one thing that pays
better than a good sound knowledge
of orchard management and that is to
use it. Therefore less get behind
the movement and make the orchards
in this county the best in the state.

County Agent.

We have passed upon all bills hand.
ed us by the solicitor and have re,
turned same to the court
We have investigated, as far as
possible in the short time that we
have been in session, the very i'm
portant matter pertaining to
the vagrancy laws of this
state stressed by the court in
its charge to us, and we are
very glad to report, that as far as we
can find or ascertain, this particular
law is being enforced by the different
peace officers throughout the county,
and we assure the court and the citi-
zens of the county that it shall be
our aim and purpose to keep this
matter not only in our minds but
will urge upo2 all of the magistrates
cOnstables and other officers whose
duties it is to enforce the laws, to
see that the law in this particular
instance is rigidly enforced.
We have, through a committee
from our body, examined all of the
county offices and their books, and
are very much pleased to state that
all are in first class condition, and
the books of each we'll and neatly
kept, all of the county officials show

all of our comfy officials, in fact is
very complimentary to them.
We are very sorry to have to state
that the former recommendation of
the grand juries, as to the necessary
repairs for the county jail have not
been attended to, and we especially
urge upon the proper officials to see
that the glass windows and sash in
the windows be repaired at once, as
the inmates of the jail have not the
proper comfort that is expected to be
furnished them, the cold winds are a
menace to the health and comfort and
we also urge the proper officials to
have done the other work and re-
pairs on the jail which was recon-
by our predecessors.
We recommend that a suitable
she'd or building be erected in the rear
of the jail for the housing and pro-
lection of the county trucks and other
A committee from our body has
been appointed to confer with the
county officials as to the installing of
water works and sewerage for the
court house and jail and as soon as
we can find a contractor who will do
the work within the appropriation
for that purpose, work on same will
be commenced.
We have visited the chain gang,
and find that the prisoners are in a
good and sanitary condition, and ev-
erything for the best interests of the
inmates thereof.
