What would a country be without youi men? Northern Spain, near tbe Basqi Provinces is such a country. Tbe land poor and only a bare existence can 1 wrenched from the Impoverished soil. J young caballero sings to the accompalnmei of his glntar under the windows of the ioni lng senorltas. Tbe girls must dance the Jor ? by themselves for the yonng men are not. In this country all the young men take tbe sea for a livelihood. It is tbe only opei lng they have and they make tbe best of I Thousands from these provinces sail the bl( seas. They leave when boys and retui when they are gray old men. Many bui dreds have made their pile and returned this quaint country to spend their decllnh years. Many are old men and have not y saued a competency and are still at the hel of tbelr Bhlpe. No;v and then a young man returns on visit, then St Is that festivity runs .rlot ar the hungry, hearted girls flock to see the lie of the day, and flirt with a vim born of deep ration. What a pity! All these black eyed venusi and nol an Adonis within a quarter otrcl Juliets by the seore and not a Komeo to I bad. They can only gaze out to t.ea whe these young scions bave sailed away, like tl Old Spanish Hidalgo used to gaze for the r< turn of the mighty Armada. And still they eagerly glance?nay study the columns of the papers for news of an 1; coming boy, and still they wrap the bewltcl lng mantillas about their shapely heads, ai try on all the arts of conquest, In which tb< are past grand masters, to catch some youi hero of the main. Production of Corn. Other counties ;are offering premiums f the best corn yield on one acre of land. The is a prize oflered by the State also for the be yield on one acre of land. We Bhonld bave something like this f this county. Tbe corn crop In Abbevil County today is better than It has been years, yet the question of corn oulture hi not oeen agitated as it should in the count Tbere la do estimating the lncrease'yleld corn brought about by tbe agitation of tl "Williamson plan". Even though there we x no virtue In It Btlll tbe talk alone would ba caused people to consider and to plant mo com, and on better ground, Tbe trouble with most men in tbe makii of corn lies In tbe fact that tbey make corn side-line. Tbey side track It /or cotto When the cotton 1s worked out land In goi condition, then tbey wotk out tbe corn, b If either Buffers it must be tbe corn? The Newest Cotton DiseaseThe latest thing in cotton disease crops 01 this time in Abbevll e county, heretofore U new diseases came frcm far away but now is at borne. A worm is doing tbe work this time, specimen of plant affected was brought this office. On examination a small wor; was found to have entered tbe root of tl plant, boring its way up the stalk until tl plant died. Where tbe stalk came from many otb stalks were also affected, dotted about ovi tbe field were seen stalks withering from tl same cause. This makes a new disease each week f cotton for tbe last month or so. Tbere wl \ be another next week. Brothers Meet after 43 Years. Mr. Thadders W. Bouchlllon, of Montgor ery Mlse., aDd Mr. Bee Bouchlllon and daug ter, of Jacksonville Fla., are visiting the sister, Mrs. Suian J. Brlttol Sandover. These two gentlemen left Abbeville Cour ty In 1866 and bud not seen eacb otber for years. Botb were In tbe war, Mr. Tbadden Bo chlllon lost arm In the battle of Frederick burg. Mr. Tbaddeus Bouchlllon arrived on tl same day on which Tony Bouchlllon rec< ved his ratal It juries on tbe Savannah Va ley Kallroad. Josh Quarles bad no patent! right on fc grass killing campaign. Others all over tl county, where there have been excessl rains have adopted tbe same plans. In boe placeB tbe public blgbway Is spongy wl dead grass where tbe bands have transfer It from the fields.

It Is reported that some farmers have d carded the old time hoe and are now usl: mattocks to "mattock" cotton and corn. Tl boe la too light for the purpose. One color woman was seen cutting out the grass wl thlsunusual tool and banging It on poles tbe Held. The grass was something like fl feet from tip to tip. The fight against the grass Is fiercer than has been in many years. In many places tl crop will be curtailed by being thrown o entirely. The weaiber has been such that wbb impossible to work It, and the grass h made such headway that now the cotton cs not be cleaned without entirely destroyl the plant. , The R.L.I Please note th Z Co|npare with c sy S our of ut llI Glassware >r. of a Large Cake Stands 15c i7|f Large Cov.

It seems from theobove that some Brl brethren are about to be ezoommunlcc No doubt the churchmen feel bitter tov those who voted the wet ticket, but t or should Dot let their bitterness vent ll.sel re tbe excommunlcatlun of their brother cbt et members. Even if the members are thought to bi or the wrong the part of a minister Is to tr; He teach them the right. Show them wl In tbey are in the wroDg.

But now it Is different. We do not bes! Q. to turn a man out of the church for sins jj. every one of us have been guilty of at a jr time in our lives. We do not all see alike. What seems ' heinous In tbe sight of one may be barn 43 toanotber.
