A WISE DECISION
Representativo iS. A. Htirns lian
gone to Virginia, to liuy a number of
brood mares, und li i? bin purpose to
raino mule? for tho general market.
Ho lo setting a good example, wc be
lieve, and bbt di etalon not to rely too
much on colton Is doubtless a wino
cae and a stop that will bring bim
financial KUCCOKS.
Mim e thu war bas boen going on in
Europe, ngen I si of thc belligerent pow
er? have been busy buying up horacH
und mules lu the Went and South,
and the country IH bound to face a
r.liortapc in thc available supply be
(-.Inning with next year. Our Southern
cotton farmers were no depressed
lad Spring over tho norry nul lnrtr be
fore them that, comparatively speak
ing, few millen were '.sought to wor!?
on thc farms. With the return of
normal times buying will probably
bc more lively next spring than it lia?
beer? for sollie time, and tho demand
for mules will be greater than the
supply. Prices may soar to a record
point.
Thc South is coming face to face
with a shortage In thc live stock mar
ket, and fnrnuTH who are equipped to
make tho experiment could hardly do
better than follow the cxamplo set by
.Mr. Ihirus and try to raise a few
mules for Bale. Not only will the
shortage In mules run prices ur und
thus force some of the former's ac
tivities Into new channels for bia own
protection, but another peril threatens
him from thc approach of tho boll
weevil. This destructive pest has ap
pealed lu several count lc; in Gcorglj.
and, judging Ita movements by its pre
vious hl?tory, lt will begin to invado
(South Carolina probably next year. If
it docs come, the planting of cotton
will have to bo restricted to a cer
tain extent, and lucky will be the far
mer who has other resources ol profit
on which ho cnn safely depend for a
comfortable living.
ANDERSON'S NEW FIDE A LA ICI
SYSTEM
A near-sighted friend from a neigh
boring city dropped-in to seo UB tho
other d'./ and warmly congratulated
the city on installing a splc-and-spnn,
up-to-the-minute firm alarm system.
We concealed our surpriso as well as
wo could and thanked him cordially
for his expression of good wishos. As
soon na ho had gone, wo stepped out
Into tho street to BOO, and, euro
enough, thero was a liboral sprl' kling
of natty boxes with red, white and
blue trimmings. Oui first impulso
was to coll In tho city editor and give
him the pink slip for letting such an
important piece rt nows get by bim.
but, finding him out, wo strolled over
to ono of tho fire alarm boxes to ad
miro its beauty.
An evil desire to seo how the con
traption worked seized us, and wo
pushed tho hutton and waited with
our heart pressing against our teeth,
on alarm carno from tho city hall, but
a wild alarm pervaded our bosom In
tho thought that wo might havo vio
lated u city ordinanco and might havo
to m. time on tho streets In tho ab
oonco of ready cash to pay our fine.
On examining tho box closer, how
ever, wc discovered that thero might
bo some doubt as to itt; Identity, and
then, to our Intense relief, we read
thia alluring invitation, "Drep a
ponny in tho slot and get a. Blab of
Chawchaw'a cholcoat gum."
A hasty glance vip and down tho
r.troot assured us. that no one was
looking on to giro us tho horse laugh,
so wo immediately beat a hurried re
treat and snoakod into the oiflce by
way of the back door. We are atilt
uncertain whether the Joke 1B on us.
or on our near-alghtcd friend.
A drab, weather-beaten polo la an
unsightly and melancholy th inf.. and
wo are glad that something has boon
found to relieve Its forbidding appear
ance. With penny-Blot machines grac
ing tho poles and "dog"' wagons or
namenting tho public square in thc
vory heart of the city, we ought, io
advance O.J? step further a?d-awing
a huge banner from the court house
steeple advertising the merits of-Po
Tuna or Dr. Fakem'a Pale Pills for
Pink People. Then we. can. with a
full right to the privilege; wave our
wool .nata Joyously in j the happy
thought that last we have reached tho
level of municipal. progress attained
by Pumpklntowh or Cherry's Cros
sing.
THE VA?.liK OF COUBTESY
?.' ' ' ' '? ? -
It pays in, terms ot dollars and cents
to be kind and courteous.' Public
service corporations, BB well as alt
classes ot people and business who
depend upon tho publie for existence,
h?y? found, but the value ot courtesy;
ana i c?%uiro their employees;J &> . be
kind in their treatment oi tbf^a }vlth
whom theyNdeal.
^?'^eoh'rt'^eclBl?vs;' are full, ot
eases wacre railroads have been as
sessed heavy 'damages.' because porno
employee did not do hi? duty to a
passenger. It costs very little to
Hlop a train after it has passed a
Ktatlon, hut it might cost tho rail
road thousands of dollars If lt ls not
stopped to let off u passenger who
IIHH readied his destination. A wo
man once got a verdict tor this
amount because tho conductor car
ried ber past ber Htatlon, refusing to
r t op at ber request. Thu verdict wan
mainly for the mental ungulsh ?bo
Buffered UH a result of hoing mistreat
ed and denied ber rightful request.
Clerks In stores are usually polite
and courteous. Sometimes one of tho
other kind ls found who ls entirely in
different mid oven discourteous to tho
customer's wants, and in a case of Ibis
kind tim proprietor of ilse atoro is the
loser. Ii?> is out of pocket and out of
bis legitimate prollts because bin
clerk forgo! to exercise one of the es
sential qualities which he was sup-j
posed to have when he W?? employed
to work In the store.
Of course, people ought to be kind
and courteous primarily because they
feel thut wuy towards other people,
but from a purely material and Hellish
standpoint it pays and yields splen
did dividends. And the chances are
that if u prison who does not at heart
feel what lt is to be kind will practico
the virtue long enough, bc will soon
outgrow Ute empty form and acquire
tho real spirit of kindly service to
others.
THE HELTON FAIR
Tho pyuck and public spirit of the
Httlo city of Relton deserves high
praiso In urrnnglng year after year a
splendid fair to display thc resources
of tho community. Tho fair ls unique,
in that no admission chargo is made,
all the expenses being mut by pro
gressive citizens who know tho valuo
or advertising their products.
A long time ago, the annual fairs
held in the city of Anderson attracted
thousands of visitors, und both town
nnd country prollted from tho stim
ulus given to agriculture, to stock
und poultry raising, and to household
and domestic economy. Wo wish thia
fair could bo revived and put upon
such a substantial financial basis that
ll could bo rondo a permanent event.
Tho Bolton fair is a distinct credit
to tho pcoplo of that section and to
tho county, nnd wc hopo that lt will i e
liberally patronized for the good that
ls to bo gotten out of lt. In addition
to displaying what thc community eau
do so woll on tho farm and in tho
homo, tho fair builds up a strongor
community spirit and brings the pco
plo closer together on terms of mu
tual Interest.
Wo would like to see ull tho towns
In tho county follow the worthy ex
amplo of Belton.
EDUCATION A LA MODE
Education ls undorgolng a sort of
revolutionary process, and tho schools
of now thought aro an numerous as
tho now fashionable religious cults.
The dear Httlo child must bo loft to
educate itaelf, and nothing must be
allowed to interfere with its natural
development, ir your bright and shin
ing light of ten yours takes in into
her fancy to smite the baby with a
brick, you wiii do wrong to raise your
hand to interiors. Tho child must be
allowed *e pursue her playful im
pulso unhampered, for otherwise you
might check hor natural progress to
high flights of learning. ' .
A humorous vorso-allnger In tho
New York Sun takes a shot at tho
new thought in this clever fashion:
"Little Mabol Mi m bl emu neb
Hid a snako in papa's lunch;
Papa bit the snake and dtod.
Little Mabel sobbed and cried.
Patient mamma only smiled,
Paying, 'Do not weep, my child' ;
You did nothing but oboy
Tho playful whim that came your
way
And how should Httlo children learn
Were they thwarted at.each tura?"'

y "'Much attention waa attainted yes
terday morning by a man, blindfolded,
driving a team through the streets,
accompanied by . four citizens.. ot the
City. This teat was done by Dal vine,
tho hypnotist appearing at tho Bijou
this week, and tho object of the drlvo
was to find an article that bad been
hidden by the committeemen.
Thia was done and it wan dono In
a good manner. The commltteo left
from In front of the Bijou . theatre
yesterday morning with tb? .instruc
?OIIB to go to some drug Btoro, get
an article, go hide lt and como back 1
to tbo theatre. Thia waa done, thc
article be:ng ?ecured from the Owl
Drug company. After leaving tho drug
; store tho party took u clrcultuoua
route ann.ii;] by Barton's lumber yard
and ?her? up to tho ofllco of Mr. Tom
Anderson, near the postofflce. In re
turning thc team was driven to Main,
then down Main to Earle street, up
West Earle street, down McDufllo to
Whltncr, then up Whittier to thc
Ktjuaro and back on to the theatre.
In driving to tho pluce where tho ar
ticle was bidden Dalvlnc took tho
same route that had been taken by
tho men in coming from the place.
He marie the drive blipdfoded perfect
ly uud drove on to thc Owl Dru?
?toro where be returned lt from tho
counter from which lt bad been secur
ed. The only assistance tho driver
received was that two of the men
grasp his wrists as tight as they
could with their right hand.

others perform wonderful feats when
ho hus them hypnotized. Yesterday

Several of tho business mon of tho
city stated ycBterdoy that Saturday
waa tho bust day that they bad had
this year. They nil wished that An

days. . Ono man stated that he would
rather seo u day like Saturday than
two circus days because lt was always

spout a great deal of .money with va
rious firms and in one instance one of
thc cadets bought nine pounds of a
well known mako of candy at one

Tho concreto work on' tho street car
tracks on Greenville street will begin
thia morning. This force ot bonds bas

Bcvcral days, but owing to tho fact
that much grading had to be done the
concrete work has been delayed. Tho
track ls being about 18 inched lower
than formerly becauBO the street is

This has been one of tho best sum

more so, too, than mou.1 any other

we point to the unfailing courtesy of our salesmen, the surperior
quality of our suits, and our guarantee of fast coloring, shape
permanency, and dependable tailoring.
Men's Suits
Thc business man places experience and confidence above all
else. You have far too few fingers to stand for our number of years ot' ex
perience, and we've earned greater confidence with each succeeding year. The
great factor in confidence building is the unu-ual value suits to be had hereat
