FRANKF0 IlE, - - - EDIToR TRMS, IN ADvANCR: One Year,............................$1.50 Six Months........................ .. .75 WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday. July 23, - - 1U02 The farmers' institute comes July 25, the State campaign July 29. Our advice to every farmer is to be sure to attend the former, and as to tde latter arrange for it later. Save Tour . own sorghum and pea seed for next year's planting. These valuable crops will never be planted as largely as they should be as long as the seed are so expensive as they were last spring. vThat trolly car line to the quarry is still being largely dis cussed. It strikes us that what is needed is to get something definite to work on, and to this end a meeting of interested citi zens should be held and a com mittee appointed to get such in formation as is necessary to put the scheme in a definite business shape. Editorial Notes. It Was the editor's pleasure last week to spend two days in Longtowfi, which means all the way from Ridgeway- to the Wateree River about fifteen miles distant. Some notes of the trip are herewith given. In the first place the name is very appropriate as indicating that the country is thickly settled for a long distanco. We do not recall having ever before passed through such a thickly settled rural section for so long a dis distance, especially after reach ing Bryant the first postoffice on the way, and five milea distant from Ridgeway, our starting point. One does not go a single half mile in this section without passing the home of a white family. As one observes the density of this population the thought can not be kept back as to the edu cational possibilities t~hat.. .arm ~-~~wihitr the reash'of these people. Though both the upper and lower Longtown schools are more pros perous than most rural schools, what a grand opportunity there is in Longtown foi a great cen tral school! Of course such a school could not be had without causing some inconveniences to some families in the matter of distance. But what are these as compared with the manifold ad vantages to be gained? .If there is an investment that pays parents and pupils, it is the investment of additional time in getting to school in ordeT to get a school that is prepared for the better fitting of the pupil for college or for life in the quicker time. With a little sacrifice in the matter of being closely located to the school building-the great drawback to educational progress in rural sections-and with a special levy for the support of a central school, Longtown could have a school that would compare with I::the schools of any .other town. With such a school we 'could see -o reason why there should be any need for any one to leave this fine community to go to toned for school advantiges. Rather we think it would be a greaot in ducement to have still (othes families to move in &nd t-ik' part in the dlevelopment of ti see tion on which a kind provideniet has smiled so pleasingly. Longtown now ha.; a pri -free rural dt liv. r'y system. Mai is delivered by. lhe mail a d'r I boxes p)rovided for the p'irp's A movement is on foot, hIowt Ito have a regular rural del.xe system p)rovided, and as this se tion. can doabtless comlply wili all the requiremiepts, it is qis probable the system will be adopted. What a town Longtow n could, he if it only had a raih oad! If' ever the promoters of a railroad want an opportunity of opening a finer agricultural- section, cer tainly Longtown would offer very, * superior advantages. The tele phone they alreatdy have, and it is serving a great function in keeping the people in closer touch with each other -.md the outside -world. One is impresse& with the Longtown lands, wihich whilei roling usa.,ie we ll. JTnging by the favoiab!eness of the crol-s, tHwy are possessed of nore than ordi:ary forthity. The b-est crops we -.aw were on the lands near the river. The best single field was the 30-acre field of Mr. C. P. Wrav about two miles from Ridgeway. It is superb and shows the good results of high fertilization and thorough culti vation. . The road to Longtown proper, that is where the postoffice is at the crossoroads, is fairly good, having been largely built up by the chaingang. g condition, however, could be greatly bettered by making a sand and clay road, which is easily possible as the soils are found close together all along the way. Of the roads leading out from the wain road towards the river, it is best not to speak here. Longtown is not without some old people. Mrs. Eliza Spurrier, so we were informed, is now 93 years old. . Mr. Samuel McCor wick, a gentleman of the old school with whom we bad a pleasant hour, is now in his 75th year. He lives at the site of the nansion of Col. Peay, who was one of the richest planters of his day and whose beautiful country home, one of the finest in the State, had to give way to Sher man's torch. The Longtown people are cer tainly hospitable. Everywhere we stopped, and that included almost every house on the way, except some at a distance from the road not to be reached on a wheel, we were shown the kindest treatment. Our longest stops were at the homes of Mr. R. C. Reeves, Mr. S. Dixon and Hon. J. D. Harrison, spending-a night at each of the former two and taking a dinner at the last, our stay at each being made most de ligitful in every respect. Longtown like all other sec tions of the county failed in its corn crop last year. This short ness has been bridged over in part by the planting of forage crops, especially sorghum, whiuh several spoke of as a most valua ble crop and one they would plant more largely another year. To do this they should save their own seed this year, sot avoid pay n prices for the se with which to plant their next\ year's crop, w~hielh, -wethrdie corn crop of this year is good or bad, should be abundant for hog, cow, horse, and man. We heard of one farmer that is going to try an acre of turnips. We commenfi this enterprise, and hope that others will follow the example. He, however, had not yet prepared his land. It is not too late yet, provided it is well prepared--an absolute essential in preparing for a turnip crop. The land should be thoroughly broken, bedded, and rebedded if this is necessary to destroy all the grass. ____ Mr. P. B. Cornwell, who lives near the river, is setting his neigh bors a good example in the matter of dairying. He keeps several cows, finding sale for his butter in Camden, eighteen miles away, at good prices. He has a most excelent device for caring for his milk and butter, keeping it as. sat isfact.orily as ho would with ice. He has a small milk house in the centre of which is a dry well eighteen feet deep. The milk and butter are placed on a frame, consisting of shelves, and lowered into the well by means of a wind ass. Mr. Cornwell says the well would be more satisfactory were it twenty feet deep and lined in with a cement wall." We ragretted that we did not have the time to take in a fishing trip that' was to be participated in hv: l :rge unumber on the day -*i- we b ft.

The most of our farmers have about finished laying by their crops. Generally speaking crops of all kinds are a great deal bet ter than they were l&st year; especially is this the case as regards the cotton crop, which is looking very promising indeed. We all certainly have abundant reasons for thankfulness to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for the manifestation of His divine favor in sending us such a favorable and seasonable year, and for the many other blessings He has bestowed on us. The corn crop is in most instances very good. Corn of the late planting looks promising; am glad to say the corn acreage has been considerably increased in our sec tion. Sweet potato and melon patches are in most instances very fine. Misses Estelle Harrison and Carrie Wilds are spending some time with relatives and friends at Blackstock and vicinity. Messrs. D. A. Crawford and J. Frank Fooshe, of Winnsboro, spent some time with friends in our section during the past week. Miss Mary Harrison, of Ridge way, is visiting Miss Lizzie Dixon. Misses Mamie and Cornelia Wilds, of Columbia, are visiting the families of Messrs. W. E. and G. J. Wilds and Jno. P. Jones. Mr. Robt. Sterling, of Black stock, is spending some time with friends here. Mrs. Davie, of Atlanta-Oas is visiting the family of Mr. T. W Melhchampe. Miss Willie Poovey is visiting relatives in Lancaster. Mr. W. L. Melliehampe and Mr. Frampton, of Charleston, are are at Mr. T. W. Mellichappe's. Mr. Wm. Stewart, of Colainbia, has been visiting the family of his brother, Mr. Jas. C. Stewart. It was with feelings of sincere sorrow that we heard of the death of Mr. Geo. H. McMaster. In his death Fairfield has lost one of her most public-spirited and worthy sons. D. H. E. July 21, 1902. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in and retold by thousan'ds of others. He says: "Last sumnier I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarima Remedy, which I used aedordhi to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was contrblled much quicker than former atta~cks when I used other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a wvell known citizen of Hen derson, N. C. For sale by McMaster Co. Flint H111l Items. The people here have all laid by crops or quit off on account of continued dry weather. Every thing is suffering from want of rain, we hope to get it this even ing. As soon as crops are finished up it is time to get on the roads again and continue that work. We have eight days to be used if necessary this year. It is time for those who wieh, to have a corn shredder in, or get new blades for the old one. In running a shredder one should keep in mind the words printed thereon, "Keep your hands away from the rollers." T fn corn sticks there 1 e ' it drops. If you don't n your hand will go on in anyhow. and there won't bo much use to send f r a doctor. There will be a lot of sorghum made about here this year. The cane is very fine. Peaches con tinue to ripen and are being pre served by the gallon. Late watermelons have been planted in places. They have be~en very fine this year. A good many of the people around this country and one or two from Winnsboro joined to gether in a big fishing excursion on the Wateree River lately. Tnere may be another one soon. Mr. Frank Boulware is out on a visit. Miss Sarah Boulware is visit ing relatives in Winnsboro. Mr. Will Bray, of Alcolu, S. C., is up on a visit to his parents an.1 friends. B. J. B.

Ovr-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood ;urifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fall to do 1 - their work. Pains, achesand rheu matism come from ex - cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a sample bottle by mail Rome of swamp-loot. free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
