Keep the Children Bright and Happy Happy youngsters mu?t be licaltliy. The digestiv? organs of children get out of order as readily as do tiiose of their ciders, and the result Is equally distressing. When the bowels urc clogged with nu ac cumulation of refuse Irtan the stomach the child naturally he comes cross and frciful from the discomfort, und is often planished for temper when medical attention is really what is needed. The next time your child is crosr and unhappy, without apparent reason, try giving it a mild luxatlvo Dr. .Caidwell's Syrup I'epsin Is a mild, pleusant tasting combination of simple laxative herbs with pep sin, and is especially recommended for children because of its freedom from nil opiate or narcotic drugs and its gentle acton.

Stoim und wife of Central wero visitors here i;-st Suturday and Sunday. In there is 'a single voter in thla nectlon who favors the good roads bond issue, we have failed thus far to meet him and we try to make It a point to auk everyone we meet if they nre in favor of the bonds. In conversa tion with a prominent farmer of the Roberts section in Anderson last Wednesday, w? asked him If the peo ple in his section were In favor of the bonds, und he stated that to his knowledge, there was only one uiun in his section that was in favor of them. Another from the Whltefiehl section said the same thing. W. L. Casey claims that the Five Fork section Is opposed to them. Arc these communities not among tbu most progressive in Anderson county and does not some of the county's best citizens live in those sections. Have they not brains enough to Rnow what Ib best for them? Do they have to sit Idly by and let a few who are under the control of corporations dictate to them what they must do, and if they do not be dubbed as non progressive; and of poor Judgment. Are the tax payers of Anderson county not already paying taxes to support several offices that lj not worth a whoop to them? We can name several, and one in particular that is of no' iuorP benefit to the people of the county than the chief of some African Jungle trlbo. Like the turtle,'the taxpayer has already got too many leeches sucking their living from them. It Is not a question as to whether or not good roads would be a bad or a good thing for the county, but ' a question as to I whether or not the county Is able to try a three quarter million dollar experiment. Just a little comparison, please, as to who bears the burden of the taxes. This is true and the parties are alive today to bear wit ness to the facts. A. Is a man living on rented land. Ho made his return at $40.00. including everything he' owned. The assessors raised his as sessment to .$60.00. He pay a*, poll and road tax. The tax was lu mills, making his taxes $3.14 B, Is a maa who owns ISO acres of land, four head of horses, two cows and three dwellings with necessary outbuild ings, beside house furnishings that could not be replaced for $1,000. His taxes, everything Included, was a little over $28.00. Now^where did the burdon fall? W .it has been said that good roads would increase the value of land from $10 to $20 per acre. If that be the case we think that a large part of the money for the road work should : be raised by an abutting property tax, thereby making It heaviest on those who receive tho greatest benefit. . It does seem strange that with the. bond issue there is created enough offices to take a nice sum from the total amount. The taxpayers should have I been given to understand In no un certain way that the. bonds.were to I bo used for road work and not go ' to pay fancy -salaries to road em* i glneers, extra. commissioners. [ boards ami other grafters, as was the case - in Tennessee. The writer has never in , thirty-six years seen the roads ns. bad as they have been tho past winter, and It may be that they will not be as bad again In the next thirty-six, and at the end of th'ne time many of us will not bo needing Anderson county rouds. We, like Josh Ashley, are more In favor of a direct tax than we are a hi)ii(l Issue, for the simple reason that if we become tired of the tax we can pet that taken off. but If we get the bonds, death is the on ly thing that will rid us or them.

Stale bureau of Marketing continually Tor the disposition of the surplus pro ducts of her husband's farm and for those things which receive her in tention, such as dairy products, peacan nuts. etc.. writes this week to the bureau: "I have had grjut results from your department of marketing." and a farmer in Flor ence countv writes: "I always read with Interest the bureau of market ing bulletin and think the bureau is a great thing for the rural ncople " -A few days ago the head of one of th,. leading distributing houses ill the State, .-ho has beeu getting in formation through the bureau gavV the information voluntarily that ibis season for the t.'rst time he had not bought or hand cd one bushel of western corn, but that in selling feed corn In the various markets of the State he had bought Ills entire supply from South Carolina farm ers. He furthermore stated that he had not had one word of complaint as to quality from any source, and the inspection division of this de partment has certainly not been able to find a single case of spoiled corn when the corn was South Carolina raised corn. Each week sees a logical expan sion of the bureau's operations. This week, for instance, a farmer's wife who takes great pride in raising flowers is offering bulbs and plants. At no stage bus any limitation what ever been placed upon the commodi ties that may be offered through the services of the bureau. The policy of the bureau is quick sales and p'enty of them direct between tho producer and the consumer. From fur beyond "the borders of the State inquiries now come con stantly, such us the following from an experienced farmer living near Trenton, N. J.:- "Would it be pos sible to lease or rent a farm, stock ed, for a term of years in your State for a practical farmer? I think I would rather rent for a while before buying, if possible. I will not be able to visit South Carolina before next fall, but am planning my biuincss so as to make the trip early In the fall. I do not want to burden you with so many inquiries, but I can assure you I am very grateful to you for the information you are furnish ing me."" From out near Cedar ftapldf).
