In almost every home there is a ganet, a cuddy hole, a plunder room, into which or thro which the accumlations of a generation are stored away. ' The garret sometimes run over with twolegged chairs, rat-nest carpeting, disabled rockers scads of old paper's congressional record, ect. ? ? Xl_ i. ? 11^,1 lear alter year uie&e gureuo mc uwu uF with things that ought to go to the junk man, things that have absolutely no values And yet we store them away and continue to store them carefully away until the rats start a Are. It is not very diffierent with our statute book. Old obsolate law6 which have served their day and generation are relegated to the statute garret until the garret is full and running over. It is true that they do not do us much harm, but now and then Fame curious legislator takes a meander thru the garret and spies some old antigue and brings the dust be grimed, time worn, broken and battered things . and places it in the "first parlor front." This causes people to make remarks. ' Just such a thing happened a short time ago when senator Tillman had his lawyer to bring down from the statute garret that beautiful old iniaia manogany , antique with its legs akimbo and its hair / cJoth hairy had his lawyer to bring it down and place it in the front parlor on a Persain rug where it sedately sits, a patent example, according to the eternal flt* neas of things, of mis match, intrusion, and incongruity. >. * Senator Gradon spying the thing at once ; J- set about to get the sightless old relic of Henry the VIII back to the garret no, not tp the garret but to the trash heaps and aah hopper, where improperly belongs. Senator Gradon is to be complimented " on his good taste in removing such a thing from the front parlor of the statute book. This suggeetee that there are other laws oil our statute book that ought to have the blue pencil run thro them. If Mr. Gradon or anyone of our lawmakers would clean the statute garret of its trash be would confer a great favor on the state. It would be a Herculean tastesomething like that of the Aegean stables but it needed?it ought to be done. THE BOYS COM CLUB . Great interest Is awakened in corn culture. Counties all over the state are forming corn clubs and preparing for a great year in demonstration work. The county Superintendents of Education are busying , themselves with the matter, encouraging boys to join in what is little short of a crusade. - v It costs nothing to join. Each boy is to plant just one acre. 'He may select his . ." own land. He may choose his own fertiliser. He is supposed to work it him' .. self tho he may get aid when he wishes ; . Almost any school boy can work an acre of corn and never miss a day at school or a lesson on account of the corn. In fact, if ail of us young and old would work an acre of corn each year we would live >'.j longer. * We think that 'there is no more ?Important question before the county to-day than this matter of corn contest. For the good the demon, strations will do the farmers o' to-day for the effect it will have on the farming Interests of tomorrow, for the impetus it will give to diversification, we should enter the contest. The Superintendent of Education Mr. J. Foster Hammond is interesting him Bigg self In a contest for Abbeville county Write to him give him your name and enter the lists. He has called a meeting lee his notice elsewhere. |You stand an equal chance with others i ' of winning a valuable prize and what is ' worth more of giving farmers an example of what can be done in corn raising when k , .' the proper effort is made. pff mj' A FactoryThat is what we want. Kn _" That Is what we are going to have. ? Since we are going to have it the sooner we get it the better for us. There is, today, more money in the banks * of Abbeville than ever before in her history? Shall it stay there? '" No. What is a silver dollar or a gold eagle worth aside from its exchange value? The man who hoards his money is called a miser and a miser he is. What is a town that hoards its money? , There is enough money in Abbeville to build half a dozen factories if it were all ; v used for that purpose. Cotton mill stock is good stock. If you do not beleive this inquire the average value of cotton mill stock throughout the United States. Cotton miils are making money all over the land. Of course some are not, but . some railroads are not making 'money, some steamships are not making mfcney, some individuals are not making money. That should not effect us. We know that the rnle is that railroads ^ " are making money, that steamboats are making money, that individuals are making money, that factories are making money, "ding" the exception to the rule. There never was a better time to begin x to build a mill than right now. Spring "time is on its way. Salubrious weather, long days, plenty of time to work before the next cotton crop comes on. But time is passing and with it opportunities. "To build or not to build," is hardly the question. All know we need it and must have it so why should we procrastinate. The money is not wanting, nor men to manage it. Then what is wanting? Some one will please make a start, make a MOVE! Let's shake some of the dust off of us, take a little exercise and nourishment before we become hide bound. Tnmis hocnmp hide hound sometimes and when they do, it usually turns out a chronic case. One of the chief symptons of this trouble is an apathy and listleness in the matter of new industries, on the part of the citizens. Have we any such symptons? No? Well let us begin at once to do something* ^ New Law as to Bagging and Ties "That from and after the approval of this act it shall be unlawful for any person tirin or corporation engaged in the business of buying cotton in this State as principal or agent, to deduct any sum for bagging or ties from the weight of any bale of cotton, when the same is properly packed and wrapped in not more than nine yards of bagging and six ties, of the kind that is now used m tne custom 01 traue. "For each and every violation of this act, the offender shall be guilty ol' a misdemeanor and shall be lined in the sum of not le6S than $5 nor more than $25 or imprisoned for not less than ten days nor more than 30 days; Provided, this act shall not apply to what is known in the trade as round bales, and bales of cotton which weigh less than 300 pounds." The above is the text of a bill offered by Mr. Wells to prevent any deduction for bagging and ties in the buying and selling of cotton. It is a good law and ought to pass. The farmers of the South have been berated because of the way they pack their cotton, and in many instances justly so. Now when they are beginning to put up better packages the exporters are docking the weights for bagging and ties. Strange as it may seem the exporters alone are the ones who are doing this and they are the identical people who have been quarreling from tine immemorial about Southern packed cotton. Let them pay for the packing. The Comet. The great French Astronomer and star gazer, Camille Flamerion, has made a statement to the effect that by his calculations the tail of Halley's commet will envelope the earth on May the nineteenth. For several hours the comet will brandish her firey caudal appendage in our faces The comet will pass between the earth and the sun at 2 o'clock on the morning of the nineteenth. What the effect of the comet's tail snish ing over our little home world will be is to be seen. She is coming on this home stretch at millions of miles per day and will soon be visible to the eyes without the aid of any glass. That Ground Hog. What is he? We are all mixed up On wood chuck and wood cock and ground hog and ground squirrel and chip monk et alias res, and we do not know our grounds on the Ground Hog question. Natural history says his habitat is from Maine to South Carolina, that he is 18 inches long, that he is good to eat, that he is also called wood chuck from a Cree Indian word, ot chouk which has no> connection with the word ''wood"?but what is he? is he a native of Abbeville county? Have you seen him? We cannot accept his weather prognostications until we become better acquainted with him. Some one will nlease trive us an introduction to him. Corn Exposition. Every farmer in the State is invited to attend something new in the way of expositions this fall. It will be a corn exposition and will'be held in Columbia. The ways and means committee has given $1500 to be used in the exposition, and it is expected that it will be a great success. Mr. A. E. Gonzales of the State has magnanimously given SI000 to be used in prizes for the corn breeders association and this of itself will be an agency in the production of more corn and that is what we need. $5000 will be given out in prizes at this exposition. So you see there will be prizes worth looking into. Abbeville County grit will produce just as large ears, just as fine ears, just as sound ears, and just as many ears to the acre as any other grit in the State. We hope to see Abbeville County bring home some of the trophies next fall in the corn exposition. Mr- Hall Improving. Mr. Garrv Hall is rapidly improving Mr. Hall has many friends here who are anxious to see him restored to health. He does not know just yet when he will be released from the hospital, but his condition is all that he c*>uld ask at this time considering the illness that he has just experienced. "We will be glad to see him home again. Old FarmerIn the Laurensville Herald of last week is an interesting and spicy piece anent taxes, written by "Old Farmer." "Old Farmer" is one of these fellows who looks on taxes and the plague with the same emotions. "Old Farmer" was red in the face when he finished his remarks on Governor Ansel's asking for higher saleries. "When",says he, "will this thing of raising of public officers stop I think the time has come when every honored fearless man ought to speak out against any higher taxes and the lavish appropriations of and expenditure of the peoples money by our office holders." He says further: "I have some old Lax receipts of my father's who owned nearly three times as much property as I do, yet I pay nearly twice as much taxes as lie did. I have the receipts, and can show them. And we hear it from all sides, and all around us, that it costs so much more to live now than it ever did before. It's false, and I can prove it. It is extravagance and a false pride. Our public men set the "More pay less work and easy time." The people have become affected everywhere, even the negroes. I know people who slided on undressed iloors in child-hood without the protection of the rubber diaper of the present day, (none at all, in many 'instances,) who now must have patent leather shoes, ruDDer-tire ouggies, wear glasses, and part their hair in the middle." Old Farmer does not take stock in any thing that has to do with this ago. The Deacons one horse shay suits him better than a high seated, rubber tired, "trop.' He thinks the old wooden plow stock has the iron foot skinned a mile in many respects. He cannot understand how a man could prefer an automobile to a mule. He cannot see how the work of the county officers has been increased. He cannot see how time changes anything. He cannot see where the money goes. He cannot see why every body else cannot live as cheaply as he does. He cannot see how the county expenses are doubled and thribbled since lie "suaea on unaresfeu iioois ui kuuu hood." He simply cannot see. Furthermore he cannot be shown. Old Farmer would be satisfied if he could bring I I . I back the "good old days" when lie lmuled his cotton a score of miles to market, before the railway put in its appearenco the "good old days" of wopden plow stocks and guano, horns. I j Old Fanner would rather ford a creek 1 i lia.ii to <-ross on an iron bridge, He would i rather ride<KlO miles, mule back, than put j . in a telephone. He would rather smell lire1 ( and brimstone than the smoke of a gasoline engine. I Old Farmer honestly thinks that there is not an officer in the entire land who is not J J receiving more pay than he deserves, more i' money than he is worth, "Old Farmer" is perfectly honest about it, lie earnestly, ; honestly, believes what he says. You cannot show him other wise. He cannot comprehend the great amount of work that is daily done by his public servants. And there are so many "Old Farmers.'" Abbeville county has a full quota. Let them alone, humor them, they are not to be convinced. Should the doing of things fall on the shoulders of these, we would soon drift back to where we started, in the "good old days" and the "good old times," but if you expect to run for office don't part your hair in the middle. High Bread. 4-rt iKn Uifrh Many causes are utuiuui/eu w ".faprice of living. The Democrat says it's the tariff. The liepublicau says that it is the Democrat^ monkeying with the tariff that has brought about such a state of affairs. Some say that it is a surplus of gold that is causing all the trouble. Some even say that the wholo thing is to be laid at the door of the comet. Again another says that it is caused by people leaving the country and. moving to town. All this gold and comet and tariff talk is j too high and mighty for us to understand. Let the financiers, astronomers, and politicians fight it out among themselves. We have noticed a few things, however. In the fall of the year yams seem very I plentiful. In the fall of the year yams are , cheap?50 cents per bushel. In the Spring of the year yams are scarce. In the j Spring of the year yams are worth $1.00 per bushel. Again, in the Spring of the year eggs are ; very plentiful In the Spring of the year eggs are cheap, 15 cents per dozen. In the fall of the year eggs are scarce. In the I fall of the year eggs are worth 35 and 40 : I nontc r\Ckv Hnvpn / Again, in June watermelons are scarce. In June watermelons bring fancy prices* In August; watermelon are plentiful. In August watermelons are cheap. One year we make fourteen million bales of cotton ; In that year cotton is worth 10 cents. An-' other year we make 10 million bales of cotton. In that year cotton sells for 14 cents. Having noticed all these things it is difficult for us to go to.tariff or some book j on astronomy for an explanation for the present high cost of living. EAST END. ' What "M" Sees and Hears on His Rounds About the City and Along Route No. 3. Last Saturday an examination was held in the Court House by Postmaster Tolbert for census enumerators for Abbeville coun- , ty.
