r THE RAINY DAY. [Contributed by a Friend. ] Tie day is oold and dark and dr* ary, It raiQ8 and the wind is never wfa^y; Tbe vine still clings to the mouldering wall, Acd at every gust the dead leaves fall, While the day is dark and dreary, ie nnM anr? Hart, and drearv. JXy 111C JO -r It rains, and the wind i* never weary; Mf thoughts stiilchng to the mo dderins past, Bat the hopes of youth fatl thick in the blast. And the days are dark acd dreary. Be sti i, sad heart, and cease repiDing; Behiod the clouds is the suu still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Int? each life som<= rain mu st fall, And some da^s must be dark and dreary. * ? Selling Much Wheat. Spartanburg, July 20.?Spartanburg farmers have already marketed about 5.000 bushels of wheat estimated as about one-sixth the total which the county will produce. This crop is one-third to one-half greater than last year's crop in the county. Instead of receiving from 75 cents to 90 cents per bushel, as last year, the farmers are getting- from $1 to ? $1.12 per bushel. Wheat is being i hauled to the Spartanburg roller mills at the rate of 400 bushels a day on the average. Saturday 540 bushels were brought to the city. How's This?

Japan is a nation of little giants, and all because of their physical training. Though small in stature, they are mighty in the art of self defense. In America we pay no little attention to the physical development of our youth that the country is full of young men who are totally unable to offer any reasonable defense in case of attack. And the time may come when we will need every ounce of enerev we can command to keep our national head above the waters of defeat. When Hot Weather Oppresses.

One "for; the manufacture and sale of alco- j holic liquors and beverages iruSouth 1 Carolina;" the other, "against the manufacture and sale of alcoholic j beverages in South Carolina." There will be but one ballot box. j If the results of the election are j against the manufacture and sale: of alcoholic liquors and beverages within the state the county dis-1 pensary will be doomed after Dec. ! 31st and said sale of alcoholic liquors and beverages within the state will be unlawful after that time. This law has nothing to do with j the gallon-a-month law regulating!' the importation of liquors from outside of the state. j All persons who are eligible and desire to vote in this election must have a registration certificate and a receipt showing the payment of all his taxes for the year 1914. A person to vote in this election ! must have registered more than 150 j days before the election, unless he 1 becomes of age within the thirty j days before the election.

In those counties ; having 50,000 people or more the j boxes will be open for the first 15 j days of August. 1 It is earnestly desired by those j favoring prohibition that the elec-1 " tion shall be a full expression of the j sentiment of the people both for i and against prohibition. And for that reason all persons who are eligible to do so, are urged to register and vote. i Stevenson Recovers.
