Advertising Rates Reasonable. Entered at Pickens Fustoffice as Second Clas Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY. JUNE 174. 1909 Do your part to help this town grow, as it is not going to grow -by sitting around talking about it. The work is what counts. Time may be money, but some how some of your friends appreciate the money you spend with them more than the time. Some want the Tariff taken out of politics. This is not the only quality in which it resem bles Prohibition. It prohibits imports. "Where there is unity there is strength." Remember this at all times and stand together, as we will never advance our city by pulling against one an other. We are not politicians. We want no office, and have no axe to grind, We have the welfare of the people of this town and the surrounding country at heart and if we cannot help to forward the interestof both we are ready to quit. But impiovements can be made and our people made to prosper, if we only stand to gether. Everybody is talking good roads all over the country. How about this county? The mer chants, the farmers, and the leading news papers say we must have good roads. The peo pie have realized the necessity for good roads and their value. Be up and doing. Talk for good roads, work for good roads and the automobile route. When an observant person notes a need and suggests it, it does not argue that he is trying to run the town, and only those who possess the disposition to "run things" will attach such an extreme construction to his interest If you know of any thing that would be helpful to the town, don't hesitate to sug gest it, we'll gladly print it for you. ________ _ Patience is a virtue that needs to be more generally cultivated. As a people the citizens 'of this town are a restless set, impa tient of delay and of opposition and chafe under trial and adver sity. The world was not made in a day and neither can towns be built un in a day, a week, or a year. But she is growing ev ery day, and will continue to grow with push add energy be hind her. Who said Blacksburg wasn't on a boom? Our people have be gun to realize the fact that she has got the best future ahead of her of any place in the up coun try. One thing, our natural ad vantages give us the lead. Our climate is the best, our farming lands the finest, and our rail road facilities are the best in the county. Any one can get in and out of our city at very near any time, night or day. "Some men enjoy work as work, but there are still more who enjoy standing by to see them do it," remarks an ex change. Our people here, or a majority, have gotten over such as this, and each one wants to do -his or her part. This is one thing that has put new life in our little city, as our citizens| have realized the fact that it takes work, push an energy to make a town grow. Take life likea man. Take it as though it was-as it is-an :arnest, vita], essential affair. Take it just as though you were born to the task of performing a merry part in jt-as though the world had waited your coming. Take it as though it w'ere a grand opportunity to achieve, to carry forward great and good schemes, to hold and1 to cheer a sufferin, wearv-, it may be a broken hearted brother.-C'has. The Rev. Anna Shaw was dis- I ,ussing playfully her contention -raised at Mrs. Clarence Mack xy's house-that man, not wo man, was too emotional to vote, says the Rochester Herald. "Why," said the learned lady, take all these extraordinary jury stories. They show the most intense emotionalism. And yet they have nothing to do with women. For instance, there's the story of the tin can murder. The jury remained out thirty four hours. Then it filed back into the court room, very stale and ill-humored. 'Gentlemen, what is your verdict?' said the judge. 'Wall,' said the fore man, 'eleven on us is for hangin,' Jedge, Yer Honor: but the 12th man sticks out for acquittal, and there ain't no arguin' with him. He's a low down, no' count rooster, anyways, and so we've decided to make our verdict un animous by hangin' 'em both.'" As He Sees It. The newspaper man often hears suggest- is. Frequently tie is asked to call attention to this or jump on that; occasion illy he is threatened if he shall lo thus and so, and once in a great while he is commended for something he has written. But, philosophically, he pursues the even tenor of his way, knowing that he cannot please all the people some of the time, using the judgement with which he is endowed,and influenced less by hope of pecuniary gain, words of praise or threats of loss or violence than by the desire and intention to do the right as he sees it-to act fairlv.-Ex change. County Dispensary Graft. 7kfew days ago this writer was told an interesting incident in connection with the manage ment of the county dispensary of one of the counties that re tain this system. The gentle man who related the story re quested that his name be not used, if the story was published and for that reason neither name nor place will be mention ed. The story is a true one and every statenient can be verified, the writer was assured, there fore it is too good to keep. The facts are as follows, ac cording to the relator, who said that the story was told to him by a member of the dispensary board of county. A month or two ago the dis pensary board placed an order with a certain liquor house for a quantity of whisky, the proof and quality of which were guaranteed to be the same as sample submitted with bid. When the liquor arrived the board, for reason not stated. suspected that it did not conme up to sample, so it was submitted to reputable chemist to be tested. The chemist reported that the whisky was not as good as the sample and it was under proof. The liquor house was communi cated with and the report of the chemist laid before them. They came down at once, like Davy Crockett's coon, without forci ble measures. They left it to the county board to name the terms of settlement. The board decided to pay for the whisky on the basis of the chemist's report and sent a check for the amount deemed fair and just. The liquor men promptly sent a receipted bill and a credit memorandumi and a letter of thanks-and in addition there was inclosed in the same letter, but without a word of explana tion, a fifty dollar bill. It is said that the bill was returned to the liquor house by the next mail. The relator of the storyv also saidl that he had heard that the dispensary board of another county had had practically the same experience with the same liquor house. Neither story r fers to Sumter coenty, nothing of the kind having occuredi here. The story shows that the li a~uor houses are still inclined to bandl out a little graft when op portunity offer-s and( that they need ('lose w'atch ing.-Sumter Item' E LECT RIC BidEso BTTE RS AND KiIDNEYS. QR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY Will Srelyni Stop That Couuhk Fair Meeting. Another meeting of the Pick ens County Fair Association wO held in the court house Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The attendance was good and every one present showed a deep interest in the success of the Fair next fall. All the committees have been appointed and they are urgently requested t) get together as soon as possible and get their work in shape. It is the purpose of the associ ation to interest every man, wo man and child in Pickens county in the Fair to make it a greater success than the one last year for it means a great deal to the farming, stock and business in terests of the county. Let every one go to work now to have some thing in the Fair, talk for it, work for it and coniia to it. and it will be a big success. Changes In Postoffice's Pay.

The telephone girl sits still ir her chair and listens to voices from everywhere. She hears al the gossip, she hears all the news she knows who is happy and wh< has the blues; she knows all ou: joys, sorrows, she knows every girl who is chasing the boys; she knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife, she knows every man who talks mean to his wife: she knows every time we are out with "the boys;" she hears the excuses each fellow employs: she knows every woman whc has a dark past, she knows every~ man who is inclined to be "fast;' in fact, there's a secret beneath each saucy girl of that quiet, de iure-looking telephone girl. If the telephone girl told all that she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes; she could sow a small wind thai would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail; she could let go a story which, gain. ing in force, would cause half our wives to sue for divorce: she. could get all of the churches mix ed up in a fight and turn all our days into sorrowing night; in fact, she could keep the whole town in a stew if she'd tell a tenth part of the things that she knew. Oh, brother, doesn't it make your head whirl when vou think what we owe to the tele phone girl? A Beautiful Story of Love. Many curious stories were told in Messina after its disaster, ac cording to Robert Hicheds, who has written for the Century Magazine of his exneriences and observations, "After the Earth quake.' One of the strangest of the stories he heard he tells as follows: "A woman after the shock was buried alone in her room. The door was blocked byV fallen masonry. There was no means of ingress or egress, and the rest of the house had fallen in ruins. She was uninjuHredl but she was imprisoned. In this room she remained for eight days. It was a bedroom and contained no food. During the eight days she gave birth to twins.
