LET THE CHILD ALONE. The Rev. Merle St. Croix Wright's Ads i vice to Mothtrs on Disciplines' I The Rev.

"Give the children more active accompllshu 1 rneuts?danclnt, horseback riding, gymnasiy urn worfc. swimming," he paid. "I think <t that a child who associates closely with the d noble horse cannot go lar wrong. d "Praise, not biame, Is the great agent that t, helps children to grow. For children are all i- heroes and there in nothing they will not do !- that you believe or expect them to do. I s wouldn't break a child's will for anything, il nor take the bloom from lie nature. There e is nothing in the world like the real nature o of h child. And parents sometimes attempt n to break the will oi the child when they - | themselves are out or temper and punish r j without cause. Instead they should keep it i their heads cool and tbelr reason calm If the y J child needs punishment. s "The punishment should fit the child, and 3 j not the crime. Study your child. If. may be Imaginative. It may be sensitive. It m?y r j do a mischievous thing Just for a change. In d i tbat case bow can you punish It by any set of e hard and fast rules.

By trusting - and believing In ihem you can bring about I the things In them that you desire to see. It e works like Christian Science. It seems to me , that the lesson between parent and child Is i one of reciprocity?that each grows through I the other. And I believe that the children have more rights apalnst the parents than I th>- parents have against the children." e A discussion by the mothers followed. I \ ? ' ; LOCALS MEET ? MB LUCK STREAK. 8 I Lose Two out of Three to Whitmire? Catcher Painter joins the Team. i Abbeville team lost to Whitmire on > Wednesday through the fine twirling ^ of Benton, Whitmires star southpaw, t He held the local -sluggers to one lone 3 hit and no scores. This hit was se# cured by Terrell Jones. Terrel opnnoo/1 Rflntnn nn Hia oloK on/t olfk\Anrv^ , VI WVUWU bis arm was sore, pitched fine ball, al* lowing only three hits and one run. { But 'hat run, although it was not 1 earned, was enough to beat him. This game was one of the prettiest that has ever been seen ou these i grounds. ' Thursday's game went to Wbit. mire by a score of 2 to 1. Horn pitchi ed for Whitmire, and was hit freely, * but kept the hits so effectually scatter. etl that Abbeville was able to'score but - once. Roy Jones pitched for Abbeville and up to the ninth inning there , was nothing doing in the run column. ) It looked like Abbeville's game but In this inning with one man down, Wllf liams got to first through an error, ) and Nest it got a scratch bit. Wessin' ger, Whitmire's heaviest hitter hit to right field and to all appearances was thrown out at first, but the umpire saw differently and the bases were full with one down. Next batter up hit to - Perrin on short who threw low to the plate and two men scored. Abbeville knocked the great Benton ; out of the box on Friday, and' Davis, who replaced him, fared no better. . Abbeville got 21 hits and 14 scores, i Whitmire got 3 hits and no scores. The game between Abbeville and f Greenwood resulted in a tie, 4 to 4. i Terrel Jones pitched his usual good i game, but the ball was wet and he was a trifle wild. He allowed but 2 * hits, while Abbeville got 5 oft'of Gra1 ham. The game was very excitiDj? [ although loosely played. ' reenwood i scored three times in the second inning on a bit, a base-on-balls. a man Kit" Kn kn 11 AM/1 ! uu uj (jiivucu uuu ouu iuuc errura, and one in the ninth on a two-bagger, ' a stolen base and a sacrifice. Watson , scored in the fourth inniDg for Abbeville. Abbeville made the other three in the niuth with two out by a hit by . Jones, a hit {in the back) on McCarter four stolen bases and an error. With two men down, Terrell Jones at bat, ' and the score lied, the Greenwood team left the grounds, it could not be i ascertained for what reason. Sampleless Salesman. i There were half a dozen drummers on the train and they were talking about another drummer who traveled 1 in the same territory with themselves. One of them said: "He's straight. , He's a Christian. Whatever he tells . you about an article you may know it | is just so. He can go all over his ter. ritory without a single sample, and sell gooks to every man he calls on, 1 His words makes samples unnecessary. All the others said, "That's so, J ; know it." And this was said of their , successful competitor. They felt no jealousy, they admired him?this ! Christian salesman, whose word made; 1 samples unnecessary. i A man offered to lend another $500. J "What security do you want?" asked i the latter. "I do not want any. Your personal note is enough." The man back of the word, back of the name, stood for honesty and good faith. No additionj al backing was desired. A farmer met a man of another > neighborhood and said to him; ''I ' have an extra span of mules this sear y sou. They are five years old, are gen tje, will work In single or double bar' ness, and are without a blemish, I want $300 for them, and they are well , worth it. Come over some day and look at them." "No, I do not care to see them. I have to buy a span and I'll take them. Bring them to town next Monday and I'll give you a chech for them. Just consider them sold." That is an i?. eal way to do business. And there is a good deal of it in the business world. A trusted word is so much easier to carry than a sample case. So do business in tuch a way tljat after awhile you can leave your samples at home. Aim to become a eampless salesman.? Ex. The State of South Carolina. ABBEVILLE COVNTy.

June sunshine and beiit are upon us, and ebnde when coupled with a little are really eDjoyable. The firtt ?re such great foes tc Innate energy, that only necessity or compulsion, causes q^e to give up tbe latter, and, therefore there is but little stirring about that can be avoided, and news Is very scarce. It Is even too hot to try to make It. Mr Jimmle Latimer Is at Hot Springs, Ark, ?been In that western city lor several days. At a meeting Wednesday evening of the trustees of the Lowndesvllle High school. Mr. J. T. Pate, a graduate of tbe Citadel, and who Is highly recommended as a teacher, was eleoted principal, and he, bis assistants and pupils will all be at tbelr post. Master J. B.Franks of Philadelphia came In Saturday morning for at least a part of a summer's stay at tbe borne of bis grandfather, Mr. T. Bnker. Rev'R. W. Humphries and Mr. E. J. Huckabee were called to Abbeville Saturday on business. Rev. and Mrs. O. M. Abney, the first in charge ol tbe station of Yorkvllle, came in Friday morning and are and will be quests ol Dr. T.

He served this charge faithfully and efficiently for two years, up to tbe last ses ion of the S. C.

Harris, of Anderson, is here and has been for some davs as an assistant In Dr. T. 0. Kirkpatrick'8 office. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Baker, of Richmond, Vtt.. came in Saturday and have since been tb?? guests of Mr. T. Bafcer aDd fatn lly. Even Id as email an area an this township a rather singular weather aDd crop condition has existed for several weeks. On a part ol the township there has been so much rain that the planters have not plowed more than two or Ihree days In as many week*; while In the other part of the township there bat been only sbowerBor rain and the plows have been running the most of the time. In the first some of tbe planteis say that without more favorable weather they cannot get rid of tbe grass nntil Xrost kills it: in the other parts while there Is still much grass, yet tbe orons are doing nicely and looking well. It Is safe to say that maob grass will go to seed, as tbe averRge planter seems to tblDk and acts accordingly, that when tbe time comes to "lay-by" that It must be done, grass or no grass.

Kindly publish it and very much oblige us. Yours truly, Anderson Phos. & Oil Co. n Mr. J. Wade Drake, Anderson, 8. C. Dear Sir?We have heard that by a liberal use of fertilizers, principally in Bide dressing, you made seventy bales of cotton on sixty acres of land last year. We will appreciate it if you will give us your method of preparation, fertilization and cultivation which resulted in this crop. We wish to give the public the benefit of your experience as we think It will be an inducement to farmers to side dress their crops;' Thanking you in advance for the favor of anearly reply, we are, Yours truly, Anderson Phos. & Oil Co. Anderson Phosphate & O'.l Co., Anderson, S. C. Gentlemen?Answering your favor of the 7th will say that atter preparing the land well I put two hundred pounds of fertilizer to the acre before planting. At'the second plowing I applied four hundred and fifty pounds more of fertilizer to the acre and when the first cotton blooms appeared I applied seventy pounds of nitrate of soaa to the acre. I did this on sixty acres of land which I planted in cotton and on the sixty acres I gathered sixtyeight bales of cotton, axeraging 5}1 pounds to the bale. And then, when i thought I bad gathered the crop after Christmas, I picked enough cotton to make 712 pounds of lint cotton so it will be seen that altogether J made more than seventy 500-pound bales of cotton on the sixty acres,* I cultivated this cotton as- I usually cultivate my cctton except that it was feitilized better than usual. A good part of this fertilizer was Anderson Phosphate and Oil company fertilizer, tbe balance was other standard brands. I was never able to see any difference in the cotton fertilized by Anderson goods and the other goods. Yours truly, J. Wade Drake. Anderson, S. C., June 4, J90{). Mr. J. E. Stevenson, Anderson, 8, C, Pear Sir ; We have heard that you side dressed some of, your corn last year, We will be glad if you will give us the result of this, and very much oblige us. Thanking you for the favor of an early reply, we are Yours truly, Anderson Phosphate and Oil Co. Anderson, S. C., June 6,1909. Anderson Phos. & Oil Co., Anderson, S. C. Dear Sirs : I have your letter of June 4th, and In reply will say that my experience in side dressing corn last year was as lollows : In one field of about 15 acres which I planted in corn I side dressed 10 acres and left five acre9 not side-dressed. On the 10 acres which I side-dressed I made 35 bushels to the acre. On the five acres not side-dresBed the yield was not over 10 bushels to the acre. It cost me about to side dress the 10 acres; about $3 per acre. It increased the yipld at least 25 bushels of corn per acre. I Intended Bide dressing the whole 15 acres but ram came on and uuiumueu DU uuui tup wiu too far advanced before I could get to it to side dress it. It will pay any one haudsopiely to side dress corn. Yours truly, J. E. Stevenson. You will see what side dressing has done for Wade Drake aud Jim Stevenson. It will pay you as well as it did them if you will do the needful.
