JUNE 10, 1909 If a man knows enough not to go to law he is wiser than the average lawyer. The average woman, old in years but young in spirit, is the sweetest blessing mankind knows. Don't be too independent. Remember the man who sat up so straight that he fell off the seat backward and broke his neck. The auto route is the talk of the day, and the majority of our people seem to be interested very nch. Now is the time to gtet )Usy. Did you ever note that after a nman has reached the age when he is ready to settle down and stop giving his wife trouble. his sons have reached the age to begin. Soon the giriwho has too bad a cold to help her mother wash the dishes will put on low quarter shoes and wander to the creek fishing in company with some nice young man. Have confidence in yourself, your neignbor, your town, your county, and then go to work and help build all of them up. This is a progressive age and you must get in the swim. Some of these fellows who sit up in the amen corner and re fuse to pay their honest debts on the theory that "Jesus paid it all, all the debt we owe," will find out different some of these days.-Times-Democrat. Mrs. Isabella McCosh, wife of - the late president of Princeton University, has just celebrated her ninety-second birthday. J. W. Alexander has finished a portrait of Mrs. McCosh, which he has given to the university. There can be no juster tax than a tax on wealth. The * most unjust tax is the one that bears on the necessities of the poor. A tax on incomes is one, a tariff that is higher than need ed for honest protection is the other. _________ "Are women more beautiful today than ever?" asks a Georgia paper. Of course they are. But they have an unfortunate habit at present of hiding their beauty under a bushel-or something that looks very much like a bushel. There is hardly a married man who does not carry in his pocket a picture of an attractive woman who is not his wife. The writer violates no confidence when we tell her name is Miss Williams of Philadelphia, and that her picture ornaments the silver dol lar-one we all love so well. The future growth and pros perity of this town depends alto gether on the efforts of the peo ple now living here, not on some one moving in from the outside and starting up things. If you want people to move here you have to show them that there are inducements here already to warrant them in coming. W. F. Benchoff of Blue Ridge Summit is the champion coon hunter of the South Mountain -- region of Pennsylvania, accord ing to the Waynesboro Record. Last fall he caught thirty-one coons. and during the last Quar ter century, his average yearly catch has been twenty-five. There are several kinds of mean men to deal with, but the man stands pretty high in the list who will try all kinds of dodges and will lie or even com mit perjury in order to keep from paying his taxes on all his prop erty, then compiains because the' county does not furnish good bridges and roads for him to travel on. BETTER ROADS. Nearly everybody is catching the good roads fever. There is already an organization at Lib erty. It has the modest ambi tion to make a good smooth road from Liberty to Pickens, from Liberty to Easley and from Liberty to Central. This is cer tainly a laudable ambition. It is on the direct and sure line of the best investment any town can make. It will pay the sur est and best dividend of any other effort. Some people have been a long time blinded to the real purpose of a town. It is not a 'place to live in. That is selfish and personal. Its high est and best purpose is to make itself a place to go to and get away from. The prosperous, healthy, hardy town should have more interest in the coun try, than the country has in the town. Its strength and beauty should be planted and caltivated in the surrounding countrvy, The first and last thing to do for any town is to make good i0'ads into the country, then the cou n - try will take pleasure in com~ng to town, The calaibrity. bea L ty and splendor of We-s rn North Carolina never could have become famous wit hout its good roads. With the sane kind of roads the mountain - tion of Pickens county would soon become a simn-r paramse. Prosperity and happiness are always on the look out for aocd smooth oads. We have the grades already, nothing further I is needed but the surface made and protected. One mill rate on the assesment of our proper ty judiciously expended would give us 100 miles of road that would make Hogarth's line of beauty among our hills and dale and add each year a hun dred thousand dbllars to our material wealth. Let the good roads movement move. The best for the towns, the best for the country is to have a good roads association, in every town and find out the best method for getting the most good out of the least money. The road law is a back number. No law is necessary if the community gets together on the subject. Law is just for people who do not want to do what is right and for the best. Better roads means a better country, better people and more of them. When peo ple get too bad the law discon tinues them. That is the only kind of a road law we need and the only one we haven't got. People think they know how to raise children when they do not even know how to raise vegetables. The jurors were all home sick this 'week. They lohged for the furrow that should be made through that grassy crop. Some want the Tariff taken out of politics. This is not the only quality in which it resem bles Prohibition. It prohibits imports. Let Congress pile the tariff high on any and everthing-tie the whole country down to serv ing the trusts. That is the sur est way to burst them. Bar rooms and whiskey drove them selves out of the South, and the more they are out, the less can they ever come back. Almost all ladies who have not arrived at an uncertain age look forward, naturally enough, to the day when they shall leave their father's roof, and, under the protection of a nearer and a dearer one, take their part in the duties of life. How imnor tant it is that they should learn to choose well, that they should not be attracted by external ap pearance or mere position, but that in this great step, which has been called, though untruly, a leap in the dark, they should consult their judgement as their feelings, and that sound comn Imon sense, which, in things of lesser moment, is deemed so im potant. Above all, it is neces -sary that a woman should take for her friend and counsellor one who will not only be a helpmate in this world, but who will also stimulate her noblest aspir-ation, and prove a faithful companion in the journey heavenward. -Picnics are now all the go and the red bugs are having their. inninr_ Mrs. Eliana Reed, divorced wife of B. T. leed, a wealthy real estate man of Denver, is appearing on the street of her city with her 9-year-old daugh ter, Inez, handcuffed to her. Mrs. Reed explained that two attempts had been made to kid nap the child, and that she had resorted to silver-chained hand cuffs to guarantee her daugh ter's safety. Talk with a farmer awhile and he will tell you that he hopes to some day accumulate enough so that he can move to town and take things easy. Talk to a town man and he longs for the day when he can get a small farm and move to the country and live in comfort. and have fresh butter and eggs on his table every meal and a chicken whenever he wants it. Since fourteen-years-old Nor bert Wiener, in short trousers, appeared on the campus at Tufts College. wearing the cap and gown of the senior class, fresh interest has been raised in this phenomenal young student who by graduating next month will win the distinction of being the youngest boy who has ever coi pleted a regular course in col and gone forth with class hon. Ors. The New York Central and Hudson river railroad has sent to United States District Attor ney Henry A. Wise, of New York,a check aggregating $136,. 000 for fines imposed by the United States circuit court for giving freight rebates in viola. tion of the Sherman law. The road was convicted and carried the case to the United States supreme court, where the find. ings of the lower court were sustained. "Talking about the automo bile route, why it would be the finest thing for our county thai ever happened," remarked one of our progressive citizens one day last week, "and I am going to do all I can to bring il through." He is right and ev ery citizen of this town and county should say the same thing, and do his part. There is nothing that would develope our county more if we can get il through this way. In the summer time when fleas are plenty, and flies are al so abundant, the flea coverec dog is the busiest animal or earth. When he isn't biting al fleas he is snapping at flies. He never has a miute to spare, bul when he is the least busy he is of no account. A young man who smokes cigaretts and owns a Waterbury watch is a close second to that dog for activity. When he is not rolling a ciga* rette he is winding the watch, but he is not worth two whoops in h-l. Ipecac in the punch and cro ton oil in the lemonade broke ur: the annual junior promenade in the Kentucky state university acr.)ss the Ohio river Saturday night. More than 100 boys and girls hurried to their homes in carriages, and some of them, who had partaken freely of the refreshments, are reported to be seriously ill. The trick is laid at the door of the sophomore and freshman classes. The wo man who prepared them told the faculty investigating com mittee today that the beverages were all right when they left the woman's ekchange. Among a large shooting party on a Northern grouse moor was a certain elder professor whose skill with his gun was hardly equal to the profoundity of his intellect, says the London Tele graph. Suddenly, a heavy storm of rain came on, and as here was no shelter on the moor the shooters got thoroughly drenched through. At least all but one suffered-the professor. He had mysteriously disappeared whea the rain came on, and he did not rejoin the party until the sun was shining once more. To the amlaznment of the others the erudite one was as dry as a bone. The others, drenched and dis gusted, inquired of him how it was he had escaped a wetting. "Directly the rain came on" re plied the professor, "I went off by myself, stripped off my clothes and sat on them until thC 70 Bales um 60 Acres I WHAT WADE BRAKE RAIS ED LAST YEAR.
