"Are yourfsitting hens setting 1 well?" asks the Wudesboro An < sonian. Naw. They are still 1 walking ab ut with seemingly no inclination to sit, set or "lay" * down. If every sack of fertilizer that ^ is being carfied away from Pa-e ' land would produce a bale of ' cotton or forty bushels of corn < or forty bushels of corn some of ' our folks would be about as 5 rich as John D. next fall, but alas! no such good fortune can be hoped for yet. The time will 1 come though when every 200- ' pound bag of fertilizer will pro- ! duce that much but it will not J be 8-2-2 or 8-3.3. ? If we are not mistaken the law that gives the county supervisor twelve hundred dollars a year salary states that his full time must be devoted to public duties. The custom of the supervisors is to manage their own affairs and look after the public matters at the same time. The voters might do well to make this an issue in the coming camDaiern and elect the man who is willing to give his time to the people's business if they pay him one hundreo dollars per month. ?m "What about the railroad?" asks a man occasionally. Well, just this: it is going to be built if time last and no great calamity befalls us. Just when the first dirt will bogmamtd is i mfyflnf nf conjecture. The * opinion of those who are supposed to know ^ is that just as soon as the gap from Florence to Charleston is completed work will begin here. It may be one month or it may be several, but it is coming and in the meantime we are not doing so badly as you might suppose with the road we have for three trains per' day each way, two of which carry passengers, " ;0 1 1 ? :a ?

At this season too many farmers begin to look over their acres and find that nearly the whole - plantation is suited to cotton, and that all future happiness and good fortune depends upon a big cotton crop. It is so easy to figure that if ten acres will make ten bales and sell for six hundred dollars, twenty acres would make twenty bales, and amount to twelve hundred dollars. .Simple isn't? Well this method of getting rich has ruined thousands of poor fellows. By all means make your supplies at home and all the-feed your stock can possibly consume, then if VOli hnvon'f mAro I . ^ * vu *. tnyj 11 111 itII five acres left for cotton, be content with that and next fall you will be glad of it. Legislature Still In Session. The regular forty-day session of the South Carolina legislature ^ ended Saturday and the legislature will get no more pay, no matter how long they continue in session. The following dis patch irom Columbia dated February 22nd, gives the situation very clearly: , rrom present indication the senate will be ready for finial adjournment the middle or the ; latter part of this week, without j disposing of any more of the - progressive measures. The sen- j ate does not convene again un- , til tomorrow night and the general appropriation bill, the \ county supply bill and the mag- i Ik ^1^ A ^ V . , strates' bill are routine matters hatdiave yet to be considered. \lmost any of tbe other bills on he calendar except those that \re uncontested will precipitate i long debate and perhaps a ilibuster. Among the third reading bills )n the senate's calendar are: rhe Rittenberg bill to regulate he liquor traffic of Charleston jounty; the Stevenson bill to >rovide for tite election of United States senators; the Lawson /ital statistics hill; the Lawtonlarper-McCravey compulsory iducation bill; the McLaurin hill or the sale of the State farms, tnd the Sharpe resolution for completing, the canal. Among second reading bills s ire: The Beamguard-Sanders < 3ill to abate and enjoin disordery house; the Fortner bill to pro libit white teachers from teach- ( irs from teaching in neg?r> ;cl>ools; and the negotiable instrument bill. The house is marking time waiting on the pleasure of the senate to pass the general appropriation bill, the omnibus county supply bill and the magistrates' bill before adjourning sine die. The house will meet Monday night at 8 o'clock, when the Belser bill proposing legislation which will equalize taxation in the various counties of the State has been make a special order. The measure is a house bill on second reading, and unless the session is extended much longer than seems probable at present it sta ids small chance of passage tfris year through both the house and senate. Yesterday was the 40th day in which the general assembly has been in session. Consequently, the members will not receive any more pay, no matter now long they remain in session * ^ Early next week the house will probably continue all second reading bills on its calendar, realizing the futility of getting any^Mhen^H^^jj^J^ ' CHURCH NOTES Methodist Episcopal By Rev. J. A. McGraw That a friendSn need is a friend indeed is realized to be a fact whpn a brother comes up and pays some "quarterage," as we Methodists term it, four weeks ahead of quarterly conference. Bro. Rowell, who assisted in our Zion meeting last summer, will be with us this year at Antioch for eight days beginning on the fifth Sundav in An crust Our first quarterly conference will be held on Saturday before the fhurth Sunday in March at Zion. Occasionally we are asked to get a bible for some one and in view of this fact we have arranged to keep a few of several styles of bibles on hand tnis year ?not for speculative purposes but for the convenience of the public, and especially our friends We have a nice S. S. scholar's bible, something new to most people, and old folks' bible, a red-letter bible and some other styles. If you want c no we will i divide our commission * ith you Next Sunpay at 11 o'clock is our appointment at Zion, at 3.30 at Prices and at 7.30 at Pageland. Baptist J. M. Sullivan.
