The Lexington Dispatch p Wednesday. January 15,1902. What Is Man? Spartanburg Journal. , Man is a two legged aDimal that chews tobacco and walks on the forked end. Mo3t men were bom. "We never heard of but one who wasn't and he was made of mud?just for a sample. Man is found in most parts of the world. He roams at will, feeds in r the day time and sleeps at night? some nights. t He is very tame. You can go and pat yoar hands on him anywhere so yoa don't put it on his pocketbook, he has been known to kick under each conditions. Man's life is fall of disappointments, patent medicines and cob pipes. He goeth forth as a lion in the morning and leaves all the wood for his wife to chop. In the evening he sneaks home with his pants ripped and raises cain about "hard times." Man is like a dog?howls a great rdeal and rues about at night. Like an elephat, be has a trunk bat be don c always tace it witn mm ?the elephant does. Men are like nails in one respec4: in nine cases cat of ten where either of them are crooked, they have been driven to it by a woman. Men are like chickens?they always want to get on the highest roosf. No man will not swear before a lady ?he always let her swear first. Little things sometimes worry a man most?twins for instance. Man may eDjoy taking bis sweetheart upon his knee, but after marriage he doesn't like to be "sat upon." "V.f"?IiIta o vofa. JlAll li'juxiouco li&o ca log ritcu day and tomorrow the undertaker has him salted away in an ice box. Now aa to what man is really good lor, anthropology is still in the dark, iteing strong he is used to draw pictures, carry news and pull the revolver. Properly trained man can jump higher than any other animal. He has even been known to jump mountain resort board bills. Although in many ways man is like other animals, in this respect he differs from all; he lives while standing up. Perhaps You Wonder If the tormenting cold that made last winter one long misery will be as bad this year. Certainly not, if yon take Allen's Lung Balsam when L'- J Al- - 11 L UC&img anu rawaeisB iu me uiiuai announce the presence of the old enemy. Do not expect the cold to wear itself out. Take the right remedy in time. Allen's Lung Balsam is free from opium. Hints to Farmers. There is no U6e to remind farmers that they are going to have pretty hard times for the next seven months. Bat maDy of them will pull through all right. A few suggestions may be helpful. Start the plows the first day the clay is dry enough to be broken. Sometimes the top soil is dry and the clay as sticky as dough. Never plow land in that condition. Sow some good lots in oats unless you have fall oats enough to feed stock. It is better "to sow good land in oats, for then you will be sure cf a crop. You can plant corn ana peas immediately after the oats are cut and make a fair crop. The pea vines left on the land will help it very much. In these winter days get your tools all ready. Have plenty of plows and an extra plow gears. Provide yourself with these extras so that when something breaks no time will ' be lost in going to the shop or hardware store. Look after your terraces the first thing so that you can run your rows by them. The sooner you bed your land for corn and cotton the better. ft (!mn fr\ -ro_Vicr? it will XL J UU JLiavu UUiU IV *v wvi) -? ? pay you for the labor. We saw a farmer a few days ago who had most of his seed corn selected and put aside. He had peas enough to sow every acre of stubble land to plant every foot of his com land. He was not troubling himself about the price of peas next April. He expects to get ?1 50 for j the surplus he may have. Be sure and do not overcrop yourself. It is foolish to depend on hir- j ing extra hoe hands in June. Hake j your arrangements now for all the ^ hands you will need. Haul in pine needles and put in stalls and stables and over tbe lot. 1 Keep a big pile on band so as to replenish when needed. It is said 1 that half-rotted piDe needles hauled c from the forest and put iu the drill ! 4 in January will help any crop that you may raise. 1 ? c Buckshoal, X. C. 4 Four years ago I was helpless 1 with a misery in my back. I could L not turn myself in bed. I was treated by my physician, but he did me t no good. I took one bottle of Dr. 8 Baker's Female Regulator and it 0 cured me. I think there is no medi- ^ cine on earth like it. * Mrs. Emma E. Myers. c For sale at the Bazaar. Justice for the Editor. State Tribune. Jefferson City, Mo. "No man in the community does more for the public and receives less for it than the country editor," said Senator Ciay Heather, of Palmyra, Marion county, in the Missouri State Senate when the bill reducing the * price of publishing the Australian ^ ballot was UDder consideration. ''If all the space he employs in booming the towD, in helping individual?, in j makiDg statesmen?sometimes out of pretty raw material?were paid for even at half tie legal rate, he would bs the richest man in the county. "Few country editors are rich, but 1 they are of more service to the com- ] munities where they live than the c wealthiest man. They are in the i forefront of every movement for pro- 1 gress. They do the work and leave I the emoluments to others. A good, ? clean, honest newspaper?and most r country newsDaDers are ??ood and J o clean and honest?helps on every worthy cause and deserves every en- ( coaragement. It fights the party battles, holds up the hands of the . reformer and makes the scoundrel afraid. I am opposed to this bill. No paper in my county would print j the ballot at the pitiful price named. . They are not paupers. But for the t amount of the splendid public service they render they ought to be million- < aireB." ] A Fireman's Close Call.

Last evening Mr. J. D. Smithdeal larrowly escaped death or injury in i most peculiar manner. As he was passing the Kendall building he leard a queer noise and found upon nvestigation that a bullet had passed through a plate glass window at a point bat a few inches above Mr. Smithdears head. No one beard the report of a firearm, and the bullet's source is quite a mystery. It will be remembered that in the fall a similar ;ase ended tragically in Richmond, rhe superintendent of locomotive 3hops fell dead while talking to friends. Blood was found on his clothes. His friends were horrified. He had been killed by a bullet from 3ome unknown hand, fired carelessly perhaps. A Burst of Generosity. A man from Dunedin once visited the town of) Wellington. An Irish friend insisted upon the visitor staying at his house instead of at a hotel, and kept him there for a month, playing the host in detail, even to treating him to the theatres and Dther amusements, paying all the ;ab fares and the rest. When the ?i6itor was returning to Dunedin, the Irishman saw him down to the ; steamer and they went into the j saloon to have a parting drink. "What'II you have asked the j nost, continuing hi3 hospitality to j ;he very last. 'Now, look here/' said the man ! rom Dnnedin. "I'll hae nae mair o' | ;his.
