Acid phosphates, and Agricultural chemicals of every sort. 35 years of successful results proves the merit of these reliable fertilizers. It is no experi ment to use them. They are sold at Edgefield by The Edgefield Mercantile Company A Long Credit The motto of the highland host that battled for the Stuart cause, .which bonny Prince Charlie headed, appar ently was that heaven helps those who help themselves liberally. They levied toll on the henroost, stable and, ac cording to the author of "The Land of Romance," even on the pockets of the Covenanters. At Swarthholm a party of these ma rauders overhauled the house of a tai lor, and when one of them was about to cut up a web of homespun that had taken his fancy the good wife earnest ly remonstrated. "A day'll come when ye'll ha' tae pay for that," she solemnly assured him. Scissors In hand, Donald paused. "An' when will she pe hating to do. that?" he asked. "At the last day," said she. "An" that will pe a fery goot long credit," the robber coolly returned. "She wass going to pe only taking a coat but now she will pe taking a' waistcoat as well." A Mountain In the Sky. Somewhere many miles away from this earth an enormous mountain twenty miles high is flying through space. The mountain ls known astro nomically as the planet Eros. The or dinary man has long taken lt for granted that all the planets are more or less round in shape. The small planet Eros, however, is an exception to this rule. According to the latest astronomical information, lt ls a mere mountain In space, "without form and void," and as lt turns upon Its axis first one corner and then another is presented to view. .These small worlds (few are over ten or twenty miles across) are not large enough to have sufficient gravity to draw their struc ture Into symmetry and remain as when launched into space-mammoth meteorites. A tantalizing fact for as tronomers ls that Eros passed very close to us about Jan. 24, 1894-before the planet was recognized-and that quite so near an approach is not due again till 1975. The Mine's Blown Up.? I was sitting on the edge of my bed, loosening the heel of one of my rubber boots with the toe of the other, when suddenly through the stillness of the sleeping town, from the power house half a mlle away, came a low and ris ing note, the great siren whistle in the power house. Almost fascinated, 1 listened as the great note rose higher and more shrill and died away again. One blast meant a fire in the town, two blasts fire in the buildings at tho mine and three blasts, the most terrible of all, a disaster or trouble In the mine Once more, after an interminable pause, the sound came again and once more rose and died away. I did not move, but there was a sudden cold ness that came over me as once more, for the third time, the deep note broke out on the quiet air. Almost instan taneously the loud jingle of my tele phone brought me to my feet I took down the receiver. "The mine's blown up," said a woman's voice.-Atlantic. Saying No. The author of "Pat McCarty," a book of verse with a setting of prose, shows how naturally some of the Irishmen of Antrim dilute the wine of narrative with the water of verbiage- In the ex cerpt below-'The Way ' We Tell a Story"-the diluent ls used with a par ticularly free hand: Says I to him, I says, says I, Says I to him, I says. The thing, says I, I says to him, Is Just, says I, this ways. I hev, says I, a gre't respeck For you and for your breed, And onything I cud, I says, I'd do, I wud indeed. I don't know any man, I says, I'd do lt for, says I, As fast, I says, as for yoursel'. That's tellln' ye no lie. There's naught, says I, I wudn't do To piase your feyther's son, But this, I says, ye see, says I, I says, lt can't be done. The Spectacled Bear. The spectacled bear of Ecuador ls so called .because of a patch of white around each eye, which makes the animal look as though he was peering through a pair of great spectacles. In size and general color the spec tacled bear looks not unlike the Ameri can black bear. But its hair is very shaggy. At each side of the head is a white bar, which gives the animal the appearance of wearing a halter. But the most distinctive feature is the white around the eyes. Attachment The schoolteacher was trying to il lustrate the difference between plants and animals. "Plants," she explained, "are not sus ceptible of attachment to man as ani mals are." "How about burs, teacher?" piped a small boy who had passed the sum mer In the country.-Chicago News. Make Children Happy. The first duly toward children ls to make them happy.
