WINNSBORO, S. C. P. M. DEES ,Editor and Publisher Entered in the post office at Winns boro, S. C., as second class mail mat The Kiwanis Clubs, of which there are a good many in the country now, have as their motto: "A town that is good enough to live in is good enough to boost." This is a good motto for anybody to use, and as there is no copyright on it we might all adopt it with profit to ourselves and for the gen eral good. And why should not a man speak well of the town in which he lives ? If he cannot speak welU of it, why should he live in it? There is a bird that befouls its own nest, but it is the lowest of all the fathered tribes. It is held in abhor rence by all other birds that fly. And most men, even if they try to conceal the fact, despise the man who knocks his home town. They know that the real trouble is not so much mith the town as with the man himself. Boosting your town may no make your neighbors boost you, but it will at any rate keep them from knock ing you. And when your neighbors get own on you, you had just as well move. WHY SHOPPING PAM S. People who in spending their mo ney are too indlifferent to read store advertising sometimes say that prices for standard articles are about the same in all places. They argue that to get good goods, you n'ust pay about the standard price, so you might as well walk into any good looking store and call for vgat you need and pay the price.. That such a thory will be costly policy, is indlicated by an inves tiga. tion made by th~e Boston News Bu. reau of selling prices on five stand ard lines of cotton goods. It priced these lines in el-even stores in New York and Boston. It found ini one line, for instance, that the pri:-e in one sdbre ran as high as 30 cents, whil' THE P1 >ROPST COMPANY i the Climax finest caps made in America for we the famous advertised Fatric l of Chicago.

On another line where one store was selling up to 60 cents and another for 46, it was found that one store sold the same fabric for 29 cents and .one for 35 cents. These comparisons suggest that at any time and on most any sandard lines, there is considerable variation in prices, often as much as 25 per cent. It is impossible on most mer chandise to standardize prices. Some merchants buy more expertly than others. Some take more pains than others o look out for specially good lots. There are always oppor tunities to buy at a reduction for men who can lay down cash. Newspaper advertising tells thc story of what individual mierchanics have been able to accomplish for their customers. Those that have found something of unusual value commonly disposed to tell the public ai.on1t it. If they non't they gte no credit for the bargain they give, and would not sell it much faster than stores that offered it for a high price. A gtpat deal of money can be saved by those who take pains to read care fully the offerings made in newspaper advertising. THE SOUTH THE BEST PLACE. Reports made by State and Fed.. eral authorities show that there are about 2,000,000 unemployed, workers in the country. Conditions are most acute, of course, in and around the larger cities. Hundreds of thousands of men walk the streets of the cities and town-s of New England and the Mid dle West in search of employment. IBut there are more than 100.000,.. 000 persons in this country. It is not an un-usurnl thing to have unem ployed men in almost every line of indlustry. While the situation is bad, it is not necessarily alarming. There is work, of some kjiml, in this country for everybody. The wages may not be all that one might desire, nor the work of the most at tractive kind, but work can be had at a wage that will mean a living. There are millions of acres of idle land. There are thousands of aban.. doned forms, and thousands of other farms irr need of more help. There has never been any starva distres becaus of lack of snfficien-t ZOPST M WINNSBORO, S. C..

I is gratifying to note that in all It is gratifying to note that in all sion, the South is faring better than any other section of the country. All the reports show that there is little or no enforced idleness anywhere in the South. The South is the best place in the world today.

I .Judge McCormick, of San Fran co, says th'ese are the 13 mistakes of life: 1. To attempt ito set up your own standards of right and wrong.q 2. To try to measure the enjoy ment of others by your own. 3. To expect uniformity of opin-t ions in this world. 4. To fail to make allowances fori inexperience. 5. To endeavor to mould all dis positions alike., 6. Not to yield to unimportant trifles. .i 7. To look for perfection in our ' own actions. 8. To worry ourselves and others I; about what cannot be remedied., 9. Not to help everybody, where-t ever, however and whenever we can. 10. To consider anything impos- 1 sible that we cannot ourselves per-a form. 11. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. 12. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. 13. To estimate by some outsidee quality when it is that within which-c makes the man. WHEN TO ADVERTISE.

Clemson College, June.-The use f sweetened poison for the boll wee ii is nothing new, but is nearly a uarter of a century old, says Prof. . F. Conradi, chief entomologist, in card to the current discussions g o poisons. As far back as 1898. >oisoned sweets were employed early n the season applied by means of a tick, a few drops on each cotton lant. The only difference between he concoctions of those days and the ormula recommended at this time s in the particular materials used. hen the principal formula consisted f molasses and Paris green, or mo asses and white arsenic. One for nula which attracted special atten ion, probably because of its very omplicated nature, was made of mo.. asses, Paris green, white arseni-c n arsenic of lead. All of these oisons have arsenic as the active ngredient, and no one has ever been ble to see why all this array of com >ounds. As the early applicaton of sweet ned poison killed a certain per.. entage of weevils, it appealed to nany farmers in each state when.. ~ver the boll weevil appeared. Each ear as new territory has been in.. aded by the weevil and new groups f farmers have become panicky,they ave been inclined to nibble at the ait on~ almost any hook th~at is row out to them, but so far as weets are concerned there is no vidence that boll weevils have been ttracted by them. So in the course f 24 years sweetened poison has not ainedl much recognition though the veevil has invaded eleven states. In act sweetened poison has seldom aid the expenses of treatment and it ias therefore been generally aban.. lond. Stick to the Standard. Instead of any of the special poisons io advocated by some, the use of alcium arsenate is strongly recoin nended, says Prof. Conradi, although icium arsenat, has no greater ar enic content than Paris green and hite arsenic of the earlier day.

A well told story is as wel come as a sunbeam in a sick room. 3. Lear.n to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to linger over your ills and sorrows. 4. Learn to stop croaking.
