We exaggerate misfortune
and happiness alike. We are
never either so wretched or so
happy as we say we are.-BAL
IZAC.
To the great discredit of the men
of SfMith Carolina, the monument
f und&rrows very slowly.
Begin to prepare your exhibits
for tlie County Fair to be held next
fall. There can be no Fair without
exhibits, and the people must pro
vide them.
Even' eye is open and eve ry ear
is pricked, eagerly awaiting the an
nouncement of Governor Ans3l's ap
pointment of two additional mem
bers of' the state dis pensary com
mission.
We direct the attention of farm
ers to the address of Mr. B. Harris,
president of the State Farmers
Union, published on our front page.
It is practical and timely. Read and
ponder every word of it. i
Cotton has reached ten cents
again, but farmers should not be
. lured into plantinga large crop by
this temporary rise. It will be no
ticed that the price was kept down
while the staple was in the hands of
the producers. Wheat also contin
ues to rise, but very little of it is
now in the farmers' hands.
Store Robbed at Trenton, Farm
Work Well Advance'1:.
The farmers'have had a season of
?: ideal working weather anda great
' deal has been doney Corn has been
planted and most of it is up. Some
cotton has been planted. Asparagus
returns are pleasing to those who,
fortunately, have it of bearing age.
On Wednesday night .last the
?store of J. M; Wise & Son was
broken in and the stock was re
duced iny the neighborhood of $50
worth. The robber, a negro, was
caught in Aiken. He gave his name
as Henry Johnson and hails from
Norfolk, Ya.
Rev. Hamlin Etheredge, one of
own boys, but now of the Metho
dist conference and stationed at Mt.
Pleasant, will preach in the Metho
dist church next Sunday.
Misses Sue and Emily Penn are
visiting Mrs. Will Lepnard.
Mrs. M.W^Peurifoy of Columbia is
visiting Mrs. B. J. Harrison.
We are glad to note that Miss
Ellie Swearingen is out again,
t Since our last writing Mrs. J. B.
Blight entertained the ladies mis
sionary society of the Baptist
church. The society met as a sew
ing society and made a quilt. Mrs.
Knight served a salad course.
State Superintendent of Educa
tion John Swearingen spent Sunday
with his mother.
Miss Pickie Bettis spent Easter
with the home folks.
READER.
Clark's Hill Shipping Lettuce
and Strawberries, About
Half Crop of Peaches,
H .School Entertainment.
As I never see anything from
this neck, of the woods I thought I
would let you hear from us again.
We emerged from the flood of Au
gust the 26th, like an old mud tur
tle, real glad that we are alive. We
are preparing land and planting
corn again on the river bank, hop
ing that Providence will take care
of us. We have been delayed by ex
cessive rains in our farm work. Oats
are looking fine. N
I am going to make all the corn
I can. I have no prize in view, but
I want a crib full of corn, with fat
horses, chicks, and smoke house
full of the "old reliable." If I knew
that there would be no freshet I
would make somebody "hop scotch"
for that gold.
Mr. L. G. Bell was the first to
ship lettuce. Mr. H. A. Adams
shipped the first crate of strawber
ries, with Mr. W. S. Middleton and
old L. G. to follow next day.
There will, not be more than a
half crop of peaches, and we are
not out of danger from frost yet.
We hope in the near future to ship
strawberries and lettuce in car lois,
and peaches in train lots
Miss Addie T. Bell, our teacher,
gave the children an* Easter egg
hunt Friday evening at the residence
of Mrs. W. H. Ryan, which was im
mensely enjoyed by all.
There will be an ice cream enter
tainment on the 23rd for the pur
pose of raising money for the school
library. Come over and let us cool
you'off. Everybody invited.
I shall in some future day de
fend J. W. Johnson, W. H. Ryon
and L. G. Bell for being such hard
Workers. They are worthy of your
Parksvil)e correspondent's imita
tions. Hope he will set up and take
notice.

Capt Evans Robbed.
While returning- from Charleston
Friday night, where .he had been on
legal businessf -Capt. ?SF?* G. Evans
was robbed of a suit case that con
tained valuable notes and papers
amounting'to about ?9,000 besides
bis personal effects. As the train
was slowing down for the*usnarstop
at Denmark a negro clad in blue
overalls b?arded the train and seized
Capt Evans' overcoat and suit case.
The intruder was hailed aud ordered
to stop, but instead of stopping he
made greater speed toward the rear
door of the car. .Capt, Evans ran
after the thief and succeeded in
wresting the overcoat from \him,
grabbing also the case, but the thief
intent upon landing his booty, almost
dragged Capt. Evans from the rear
platform. The last that Capt. Ev
' ans saw of his belongings and the
aforesaid negro they were tumbling
pell mell over an embankment, with
the train running leight or ten miles
an hour. Had Capt. . Evans been
armed there would possibly have
been a funeral somewhere round
about Denmark the next day.

using Doan's kidney pills but a
short time but can say that I have
received more benefit than from
any other remedy. I was annoyed

at times. I finally procured Doan's
