Newspaper Best Advertising Medium. "When circus men go back on billboards, it markg the beginning of the end of that form of adver tising. The traveling circus imitat ed billboards and in turning from them to newspapers the circus ad vertiser inaugurated a departure from a tradition and custom which bave unquestionably built up many a fortune. While still a novelty, billboards told a story and were effective, but in their rapid multipli Tcation they no longer make the im pression they once did. Newspapers give immediate results. They reach the class of people you want to in terest. Where one person read news jjapers and magazines thirty years ago, hundreds read them now. It is to the papers every one goes to find the record of births, deaths, mar riages, weather predictions, Wall street reports, sermons, prize fights and everything else tbat is going on in the world. The circus man figures correctly that ninety-nine per cent of the people will look in the same place toa see about the coming of the circus.-Leslie's Weekly. The Government's Proposition to the Counties. Government aid in road building will soon begin in thiB state. At the xecent session of congress a bill was passed appropriating $500,000 for experimental road construction, and the government officials in charge ftf the work have decided to begin their work first in this state in com pliment to Senator Simmons, who introduced the bill authorizing it. The government's aid will be ex tended to those counties or com munities which will expend twice the amount appropriated by the government-that is, where the gov ernment expends $1,000 for .this work the county or community in which the work is done must ex pend $2,000. In other words the government pays one-third of the expense. This small appropriation of $500,000 for this experimental road work is only a beginning and en tering wedge, and no doubt in a few years many million dollars will be appropriated annually. It will be remembered that only $20,000 were appropriated at first to experiment with the rural free delivery of mails bat now the appropriation is about ?40,000,000 a year. We predict that in like manner the appropriation for good roads will be greatly increased in a few years. This government aid will be ex tended only to those publio high ways that are used by the mail car riers, for such au appropriation by congress is authorized only by that clause of the constitution of the United Stai.es that says congress may "establish post offices and post roads."-Christian Record. Prevention is Better. Sanitary conditions are bad on many farms and positively disgrace ful in many country towns. Thc other day the writer's train stopped at a little Tennessee town and the odor from neighboring outhouses came into the car until it was al most unendurable. White people lived there, too, and people of re cognized respectability. Public ed acation along this line has been sadly neglected, and in someways It seemB at time6 that many of us are still close to barbarism. We pay the penalty, of oourse, in dis ease and discomfort, but wouldn't a little prevention-adding as it would to our safety and our self respect be better?--Progressive .Farmer. Enforcing Discipline. The other night vre heard a fa ther speak thusly: "William your mothei tells rae that you must have a dose of castor oil before retiring to-night. It is your bed time now. Take your medicine and go to bed at once." But, papa! I don't want no cas torml!" "You must take it. And imme diately !" "Aw, papa, Idowanter!" "William, if you don't take that medicine, PU put you right to bed this minute, without giving you a .drop of it!" William was so scared tltat he topic it. That's the way to enforce discipline.- Cleveland Plain Deal ter. Are Ever at War.. There are two things everlasting ly at war, joy and piles. But Buck lers Arnica Salve will banish piles in any form. It soon subdues the Itching, irritation, inflammation or swelling. It gives comfort, invites joy. Greatest healer of burns, boils, ulcers, cuts, bruises, eczema, scalds, pimples, skin eruptions. Only 25c at Penn & Holstein'^, W E Lynch ?Co. A Trip to Clark's Hill, South Carolina. On August the 29th we had the pleasure of lattending the annual meeting of the Clark's Hill Far mers' Club, and of partaking of their fine barbecue dinner. Clark's Hill is 28 miles above Augusta. Ga., on C. & W. C. railroad. The coun try is very hilly, but it is product ive and especially adapted to peach growing. We stopped with Mr. W. S. Middleton, who is one of the most successful peach growers of South Carolina. He bas bills that reach above the frost line and has fruit every year. His orchard is kept in fine condition. Ho grows Early Belle, Belle of Georgia, ?nd Elberta mainly. There is not a section in the south that is not specially adapted to certain crops, and it is well when the farmers develop a section ac cording to its natural adaptability, as they are doing around Clark'p Hill. We want to tell our readers about Mr. Middleton's water works. He has a Rife Ram and forces his wa ter into a concrete tank built on the hill some fifty feet above his houee. This tank is built six feet in the ground and six feet above the sur face. It holds 10,000 gallons, and is always full. He has a concrete top over his tank, and he has plenty of pure water all the time. He has a coil pipe to run into his ice box and you have, not ioe water, but ice cooled water to drink all the time. We believe ho has the best water system we have ever seen. Where you can use a ram, there is no meth od of water supply equal to it. It is a hilly section around Clark's^HUl, but they have the people, andjafter all it is the people that make a sec tion, and not the lands. According to us Georgia people the South Carolinians get mixed when it comes to politics, but when it comes to good farming and true hospitality why, they can not be beat, that's all-Editor Southern Cultivator.
