"Never moind, Bill, come on," said one, "you know the auld say in'-The more the bark the leis the bite." "Ah, thot's all Jright, Jim," said the other, drawing back. "Oi know thesayin' and you know the say in, but the question is-does the dog know it?" , More Humus Needed. No farm was ever improved by planting any crop continually on the land and depending on com mercial fertilizer to make it. That is the road to soil exhaustion. That has worn the rich soils bf the wheat lands of the northwest, the tobacco soils of the upper south and the cotton lands of the south. It is responsible for the deep, red gul lies in the Piedmont section, for the old-field pines all over the south. Broomsedge and the pines on (the old fields are doing their best to restore the humus^man has wasted, and we can learn from them what is needed, and can do it more rap idly than the broonsedge and the pine trees do. Get at it and beat the pines.-Progressive Farmer. Round Trip Tourist Fares Now in effect Via Southern Rail waj-Premier Carrier of the South.

SAGE OF "MUDVILLE," Continued from page 1. it, and may every one of them be prepared for the change, is the ear nest wish of the writer. The people of Parksville are not all saints by any means, but I guess compare with other communities. They have their little differences like other folks, and all don't see alike, in some things, but on one thing I believe all agree and that is, we have as good teapherB in our school as any other community have, and as bright set of boys and girls going to school, and because we did not get a high school this terra does not mean that we won't have, and we can have it if we will j ?st make up our minds ibat we will.

Dr. Manly Tiinmons Remem bers Edgefield and The Ad vertiser. We quote from a recent letter re ceived from Dr. Manly Timmons, who is now at Winter Seat, the fol lowing. "I have been very much in terested in the result of the meeting recently held in the Baptist church. I trust that the church, on the whole, will be made strong, and that each member was made to rejoice in the goodness of God. I would enjoy i a visit to the old church so much, but I do not see how I will be able to come to Edgefield before late in the spring on account of the bad roads. Mrs. Timmons and the children have just recovered from mumps. I was in Greenwood the night of the great fire, and that portion of town certainly looks badly, with so many brick walls standing. I haven't done a lick of work in my garden yet, and from present prospects it will be some time be fore I will be able to plant any thing. I think the paper you are getting out now is far better than at any time in its history. I was reading it before you were born, and I do not think it was ever as interesting Dr calculated to do as much good Lo the people of the old county as it is to-day. I hope that you will live long so as to continue this good leork." MR. BUMS' PLATFORM. Continued from page 1. i reflection upon our standard of civilization. It destroys the better elements of American manliness, and renders our established laws Mid coutte a? defenseless as a paper wall before the blast of a storm. This form of redress ?B often more astounding than the crime it seeks to avenge. Remove the sanse and the twin evils will cease to exist. It is my intention to attend all the bounty campaign meetings, speak from every platform, and * tote" my own "skillet" until the handle wears off, or until Uncle Samuel, Aunt Nancy Jane and their posterity command that I lay it down. Cut this out or preserve it, and you will have some of the notes in the campaign tunes. Very respectfully, G. D. Mims. Clark's Hill, S. C. Shandon and Edgefield Chap ters U. D. C. Share Glory.

Butler, and an excellent artist. V Already the M. C. Butler chap ter has in bank the major portion of the amount required to complete and place this portrait, which is $130.
