Eight pounds of cotton will pay for The Herald for a whole year.

Cotton is opening rapidly in this ?- section, and a number of bales have 1 been marketed here during the past 1 week. If the price keeps up our people will not be in such bad shape i after all.

Dannelly a few days before, and the little one was carried to Atlanta to take the Pasteur treatment. The dog was killed and his head was carried along for examination. No trace of hydrophobia was found, which was a great relief to the parents and their many friends. Trimminers to match all material at Hooton's. The Masonic fraternity enjoyed a most delightful occasion last Thursday night. A special meeting of Oman lodge was held, at which the Master's degree was conferred upon three candidates. A number of visitors were present from Denmark, Blackville, Branchville and other places. When the craft was called from labor to refreshment, a fish fry was enjoyed, it being served in the lodge room. About one hundred pounds of fish had been procured, all of the toothsome Edisto river kind, and there was fried and stewed fish galore. New Advertisements. Mrs. S. H.

It was the good pleasure of the writer to accompany Mrs. Simmie Sandifer to a family reunion near Ehrhardt. This is an annual reunion ^iven in honor of Mesdames Lawton Bishop and George Kinard by their children and immediate relatives. In due time we reached our first destination, Mrs. Sandifer's parent's borne, Mr. # and Mrs. Kinard, where we rested an hour and then one mile further we found ourselves at the borne of Mr. Adam Kinard, where the feast was to be given, this being the scenes of the childhood of Mesiames Bishop and Kinard, they being the only surviving members of the Prescott (their maiden name) family. Only a few were there when iirrivpH sn we of course took ail in that we could, and let us add that each family that arrived brought boxes, baskets, buckets, pots, and barrels of prepared dinner, with jars and jugs of tea and coffee, and last but not least, large frying pans and larger vessels of lard. Mr. Editor, not long till it looked to an outsider as though some house was on fire as the smoke from the kitchen range, kitchen and dining room fire places began to ascend and the finny tribe were being browned to tempt the appetite. Not long before we saw movements around a table that had been prepared under the stately sycamores and cedars that stand in front of the gate, when we noticed great pans of fish, large pots of steaming coffee, large buckets and pitchers of iced tea being carried to the table where the other plentiful spread had been arranged. Blessings was asked over the board by Mr. Lawton Bishop, and all were soon doing full justice to their appetites by simply feasting on the abundance of substantial and dainty delicacies that had been prepared by those hospitable folks. We hope thesb folks to live to celebrate one hundred more reunions. Those Dresent were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Kinard, Messrs. Adam, Lewis, Hammie and Eddie Kinard and families, Mr. and Mrs. Ellzey Copeland, Mr. and Mrs. Lawton Bishop, their son and family, Mrs, Billj Goodson and son, Mr. and Mrs, George Goodson and daughter, of Allendale, Mr. Jeff Copeland and family, Mr. Isaac Carter, the Messrs, Thomas, of Mt.

A strong plea for the planting of trees along the roads in which the state of New York has an interest was made recently by .Jonathan Y. Culyer. civil engineer an 1 landscape architect says the New York Tribune. He said that he had tried to induce the state administration to do this, but without apparent success. He called attention to the fact that throughout Great . Britain, France. Germany and, to a lesser degree, in other continental couu( tries the planting and maintenance of trees on the public roads have been a long established policy> Many communities in the United States, he said, have recognized the value and utility of such a practice. "It would be lamentable indeed," Mr. Culyer said, "were it found that tree planting on our roads had been omit ted for quasi economical reasons. The cost of providing and planting can add very little to the cost per lineal foot of the road. Soil, for instance, an essential thing for the tree pits, in most cases Is to be found on the line of the work. The first cost of the trees and of planting them should be an almost inappreciable item. Indeed, as I have before suggested, trees and other useful vegetation may be and long since should have been cultivated successfully through the agency of our forestry commission and the state board of agriculture, nurseries being established in some one or more eligible localities of our public domain. It amounts to a public scandal that so many men are employed on these state properties whose work could be made more effective in this way. "As the result of an established policy of roadside planting, intelligently Jx 1,1 ? X J i ffl All If fA #At?A pursued, 11 win uul w uiuk.uk. ?.? cast, in hopeful vision of the future, our roads adorned with trees of which we have a rich variety?the oak. the maple, the elm, the plane, the linden, the gum, the horse chestnut, etc., along which the traveler would be guided hospitably on his way." WOMEN IN CIVIC LIFE. Problems For Which the Serious Minded Are Needed to Solve. There is nothing that women cannot do, but the work must be planned with a thoroughness that precludes failure and done with a modesty which is the inherent charm of the superior sex, says the Woman's Home Companion. As I said, every community has its own problem. Most of these originate outside of the home. Pure water, pure food, pure air. clean streets, sanitary schools and tenements, district nursing, the education of the ignorant .in the care of babies, the question of paupers, the public baths and traveling libraries, the treatment of our women Drisoners in prison and after, the lodg ing house problem?these are only a few of the civic puzzles crying for trained women to solve. A woman does probably her greatest share of her duty as a citizen when she makes a home a safe and happy harbor of refuge from a stormy world, when she brings up her children into noble manhood and womanhood and when she does not destroy her husband and family by bad cooking and bad temper, but that same woman crowns her career as a citizen when she interests herself in and becomes a vital part of some problem of government. A woman successful in home life is desperately needed in civic life. An Advertising Hint. General movements toward a certain purpose on the part of disconnected retail stores dealing in a certain line of wares are difficult to undertake. Yet the trade papers of the country are inaugurating many of them with some signs of success. The general mer* x - -?"II +/-.TT-n finHa hid most cnaiu iu u Mitau iv iiu uuuu ? dangerous competition in the great mail order stores of the big cities, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. These merchants are now being urged to acquire stock in the local newspapers to increase their home advertising and so prevail upon the home newspaper to refuse to advertise the mail order establishments. Iu many places this antimail order crusade has been united with the town boosting propaganda, and the people are being urged to spend their money with the home stores. If this movement should continue to grow, it may have a decided effect upon the destiny of the retail mercantile business. Successful Crusade For Trees. From a recent number of Forest and Irrigation we learn how much a county superintendent of schools who thinks beyond the hackneyed routine of his duties may accomplish, says Collier's Weekly. Mr. Kern began his crusade of tree planting in Winnebago county, 111., with the idea of making the surroundings of the country schoolhouse, which too often Is a bare plot, shady and beautiful, as attractive in its associations to the primary pupil as the campus to the college student. He has organized and lectured, with innumerable slides of fine old elms and oak3 and young groves to hold the attention of his hearers, until the popular movement which he created has spread from the schoolyard to the roadside and from his own to other counties.
