1e with their crops.

-Said a citizen of one of our
near-by towns last week: "If
the Southern keeps putting on
fast trains through our town, I

about how fast they run."
-Mr. S. W. Williams, former

very much surprised at the pro
gress and growth, not only of

what a change had been wrought
since 1904, when he left Norris

county citizens, and fine singers,

time than "eat chicken and
pound cake."

M
News From Cateechee. m
Owing to so much rain and in h
the absence of the farmers from H
their crops "General Green" has th
thoroughly organized his forces, CI
and the initiation will take
place just as soon as the ground ch
gets dry enough, when every n
man who has a crop will have at
to "ride the goat." W
Cotton is small for the time of S
year, but with good seasons and R
proper cultivation there is time cc
for it to mature yet. pi
The harvest is on and from all (1
appearances it will not be long t
until some can eat home-raised
bread. Wouldn't this be a glor
ious world if every person would tal
raise what they eat and wear at mi
home, join the church, be bap- In
tized and do unto others as they O
would wish to be done by? If e
a:
such was the case there would Dr
be no need of a lien law, home
stead law, divorce law, or any
thing of the kind. Everybody
would be happy. 1 B4
The writer was talking a few pB
days ago with a certain travel- Br
ling man who lived in a state E
where divorces are given. Of C
course he was in sympathy with I
the law, for, after talking
awhile with him, we soon
found out that he was living
with his second wife under the ar
permission of a divorce. His 'r
view of the matter was that if tai
a couple married and then they an
could not agree and gef along U
conenillytogether it was best
to seperate and marry again and y
try to get a wife you could live
Our veiw of the matter is for
every man or woman who con- sh
templates marrying to be very fo:
discreet, to thoroughly consider wl
the matter, not be too hasty, and A
if either one finds the least thing ac
he or she don't like, or they don't
agree before marrying, to never
marry that person; if you do, it w
is more than likely you will be et<
sorry of the step. In the mean- hE
time ouradvice is, if you trade tr
and find that you are cheated a
just stick the closer to a bad bar- nc
gain. Don't put something off bu
on your neighbor that you don't ~
want yourself.
Consult the book that was 0<
written by inspiration and see if w~
it is right to marry the second $0
time whien the former compan- al
ion is still living.
Mrs. M. L. Carter and children,
oif Hiawassa, Ga., visited her
brother, Mr. E: N. Whitmire, of 01
Cateechee, last week.

The Old Bachelor, of Catee
chee says he is not "in it" now,
for a certain young widower of
that place has got him "skinned
a block." When it comes to
meeting a girl at the well, carry
ing her water to the house for
her and then staying until the t
old rooster tells him to go home, *
is the limit and leaves the old
Bachelor out ofthe game. For
futher particulars apply to Tom.
The Cateechee ball team play- ~
ed the Pickens team on the lat
ter's diamond last Saturday.
The game stood 21 to 13 in favor
of the visiting team. On ac- a
count of sickness Cateechee was nl(
deprived of two of her best play
ers, which accounts for Pickens
not being beaten any worse. ii'
As before stated in this paper niE
the Cateechee team very seldom ca
practices any, except that which '
they get while playing with oth
er teams, but the bunch that
gets on the diamond, has a lot 1y
to do to beat themi. They are in
now very anxious to play two
more games this season, viz:
Clemwson and Easlev, after whicht<
ey expect to wear the belt.
Our team highly pleased with
e umpire at Pickens and de
,e to thank him for his im
rtiality.
The friends of Mrs. Ed. Norton

A Short Trip
The first time I have been og~
Pickens in over three months
as the other day, when I went
Greenville. While I was rid
g along I was looking at the
btle crop. It looked well and
Sgood fix. I did not see much
cass and it looked like people
ad been at work. I was like
ie fellow who would not work.
Then he saw a good crop he
ould say that makes me think
home. It made me think of
>me because I had none. But
like to see things look well and
osperous whether I have any
riger in it or not. I want to
e other people do well if I do
ad myself. I once thought I
as a pretty good fellow, some
mes I think so yet, but accord
g to the true proverb the dog
s returned to his vomit and
e sow that was washed to her
