ITABL1SHD 1844wmsnosc&-v K m.3 FMRHELD COUNTY REPORTED B1 UPPER MITFORD. There will be a Hallowe'en festi val at the Mitford school house on Friy evening, October 27. All gentlemen are requested to bring fruit and one or two ladies and make it a pleasant event. The members of the Mt. Zion church have laid out the lawn to plant oks. Mrs. Amanda Raines has gone to Lancaster to visit her sisters, Mes dames Perry and Powers. Mr. John McDonald went to Wash ington, D. C., and reported a very pleasant time while with President Harding and Cabinet, and blad the pleasure of meeting the Lady of the White House at a reception given in honor of the mail cargiers. Miss Jennie Smith has gone to Greenville, N. C. to visit her uncle and aunt, Mrs. W. S. Black and F. R. Higgins. Rev. F. K. Hair had the Evange list and singer, that are conducting a revival at Great Falls, to conduct the Sunday afternoon services here, and all enjoyed it who had the plea sure to hear them. Miss Kathleen Matheson, of the -onticello school, will come t. visit her sister and be at the Hailowe'en party. Mr. Fletcher Dye will go for her. BETHEL. We scarcely recall where we left off. Anyway, what we would have said has been reported in part by Mossy Dale. For all his good words -e thank him. -Really, excusing his ,nltitude of 'aultS, he is a good citien. The pity is we have not 'e like him. He is not one who says anddoes not. Bethel chtrch showed i most 1oy al and wiling spirit when on th. oc casion of the 4th quarterly confer ene6 the membership met their en tir, assessment for all purposes and reported during the year- more than $600 for causes for which there was no assessment. This too in the face'of one bale to a plow. It shows up well when you know all the facts. In reality there are a number who do not say much but act. They ren der a good service. Our corp is short but our spirits are up. We never allow them to flag. If Faifield county wants any thing in the way of public spirit she can find it down in this corner. There are men here who have from time to time given their individual labor and their teams to work the roads. Call on them and see if the spirit is not ready and the 'body as well to do anything of service for their fellow men. We are sorry that Dr. A. C. Estes had to go to Coimbia on Monday for An opeaeion gfor appendicitis. Reports on Tuesday were that he is doing nicely. We hope he will be backwlrth us in afewtdays. We niiss him very much Mo his own sake and hi8 work's sake. Dr. Estes P does a great deal of charity practice. Ramn is sorely needed. Grain should be in the ground and out again, po datoes should, be housed, and gardens i-ing in winter crops. We hope it will not be long till we hear the sounnd of rain drops. School is running along as evenly ,a wel! oiled piece of machinery. All at work anil at work at some thing worth whle. If Walter Ligon ever gets back from Chattanooga, and Charles Tai~ner has the inclination, and Hen ry Gibson can be persuaded, we shall get this bunch to order some new single desks for the school. We need them. MONTICNLLO. Miss Cleone Mc~eekin, of Colum bla College, spent the 'week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. 3. Mo Neekin. Mr. Robert Shedd and .ride k ft for Pittsburrg Thursday.

Editor News and Herald My fellow farmers of South Caroli' . do you possibly realize the bur dens of responsibility that we are face to face with for the next year and years to come? Shall we meet them as brave men under the leader ship of the great God of nations, or shall we become disgruntled, discour aged, demoralized tand give up and surrender to the evil forces and in fluences? I don't believe a word of . Such is not the history of our -eople. It seems that in every grave and disastrous crisis that the farmer 'i the under-dog and is the great bur den bearer. He has toiled like a slave, has had to stint his women 'and children almost to the starvator point ind'a-" c his children have been reared in ignorance. No greater sacrificei were ever made by the Serfs of Rus sia than by our farm women and children, . and yet, als individuls, without organization,, we have achieved wonders. After every dis aster we have come back and gone to heights never dreamed of, but to say that the agricultual people of this state are satisfied with their con dition would be stating an untruth; so my fellow farmher herein lies ou reat responsibility. We are, face tc face with an econontic breakdown and the eyes of -the state are turned towards the tiller of the soil. The farmer today is regarded as the bul -rk of the state, as has alway been the case; but he is without the ,vmpathy and appreciation that h4 should have and this is because he '~s failed to organize and demani . rights. The scheming politiciai .an't want the farmers to organs isedanesw Ia l, get the farmers torn to pieces to fur -her his - e he is satisfied. N doubt the farming class has beer frightfully discriminated against ir taxation. There oomet a time wher everthing the farmer produees failb a make him any profit and there is nothing with which to pay taxes; yet, a great proportion of the profit producing class escapes taxes entire. Iv, but the farmer never escapes his The question that the farmers have got to ask themselves is, can and will the old line politican, whether in the General Assembly, or as Gov ernor, make any nttempt to changf these conditions? I think not; henc the imperative necessity of cleaning -,t the~ old liners and putting in a farmer as Governor and a General Assembly of farmers and business men who would give all the peopli 9. just end fair deal, without strife and ,disgraceful conterntion as has a often characterized political af Mr in South Carolina before. Who can measure the responsibil ity of the old staid farmer as from day to day he goes over the hill edthrotagh the valleys communing - 'h Ntur'sGod? Our minds look over into the next --ir's campaign and we shudder, we stand aghast. our blood runs cold; becaus0 we see the vile demagogue nolitician with the tongue of a ser ent with lying slander upon his lips swing discord, enmity and hatred all over South Carolina. A devil in carnate. We* see evidences of a very strong nrobability of dragging the -ohibition or liquor question in the next campaign. My fellow country n. did you know that the boot -ters and the illicit distillers could nd would raise $100,000 or more if 'ssary to elect a liquor Governor of this State? There is no doubt of - And do you believe there is a man in South Carolina who would be vovernor on such a platform If he -ould ? I do. Who is to save the wate from the possibilities of such a 'saster? Can we look to the towns and cities and politicians to save us ? aar not: for their force of rees.s - -ence is to weak to do us mnuch~ -od. Who is to suffer most fromr 'a enforcement of ilquor laws ? he farmer- in the handling his Ia 'ir will suffer most, and the poor wo (triuned from eage four.* CONTRAeT7 lET FOR MORE1 PAMVING On Wednesday the mayor -nd Countil opened bids for 1,400 yards of concrete paving the sidewWk on Main street from McCants' corner to the city limits on the Columbia road.
