An editorial headline in Monday's

to mind a boast a colored

to have made the other day,
namely, that he had cleared $12

i HE LAMOA
The stock in mau, now listed
as one of the "necessaries" of
life, is advancing in price on the
matrimonial market. It was
noted some time ago where a
woman bought a husband at so
low a figure as twelve dollars.
But eiuce the advent of leap year
male values Lave beeu going up
by leaps and bounds. On last
Friday a Detroit girl oflered a
married woman as much as three
thousands dollars cash for her
husband. The offer was accepted,
but the prompt institution
of divorce proceedings by the
! negotiable husband put a stop
to the trade.

Ib.Uy Mai! republished the good
roads resolutions recently adopt,
d by (he York County Farmers'
Union,'our contemporary adding
the following comment:
Isn't this the most remarkable
h'.ng you ever heard o!?farm >rs
wanting to be taxed to build
good roads?
We wonder what would happen
il eueh a resolution >honle |
lie offered in the Anderson Ooun
ty Farmers' Urnon.
We do not think it so remarkable
tli t farmers want to be taxed
to budd good roads. They are not
opposed to a reasonable tax for
any wise purpose, and when they !
express themselves as favoring a j
ro id tax it simply means that i
they have become convinced by !
past experience that the only |
sure^way of securing permanent
highway improvement is by paving
(or it out of their pockets.
Our innocent little comment
the other day on the llock Hill
llecord's statement that citizens
T tiia1 cit.v eat raw food provokeour
est emeu con'emporary to
-ay :
'Tvdtor C'mnors has another
guess. We are very busy over
here, it is true ; but not with our
muddy streets. Our industry is
centered in minding our own business
and making liock Hill at
tractive to outsiders. Item: ?
Another family moved here from
Lancaster this week."
That, we presume, is a delicate
hint to us to also "mind our own
business," which, we hasten to
day, we are industriously engaged
in endeavoring to do. A part
of that business, however, according
to our conception of its
duties and responsibilities, is to
keep our Kock Hill brothers
straight and in a constant state
of cheerful ac^vity. It i9 not a
matter of surprise, by the way,
that now and then somebody
moves Jrom here to Iiock liiil.?
We have advertised that town i-o
extensively, first one way and
then another, that a lot of oeo

Present conditions in New
i York, where tlio recent financial
panic had its origin, show indisI
put ably that the money scare
is over. A press dispatch from
New York last Friday said :
More people crowd the corri
dors ot the savings bank i of New
York these days than wore to he
found there during the height of
the financial llurry, when thousi
?nda ot frightened people flocked
to the banks to withdraw their
savings. ihe crowds today are

but t<?deposit it.
