I have noc writen anything for
your paper because I did nofc have
aoytbing to write and did not have
time to write it. We have to know
something to write and have time to
write it before we can write This is
why so many people write so seldom
aid some not at all. It mskes little
difference what we write if the proper
prefix is to it. I have read many
- iii_ u
tilings tnat a ten year oia Doy couiu
do as well, bat the prefix ' Col." or
some other such qualifier carried it
through. We litde county paper
scribblers have none such, and consequently
cauDot spread cut on the
topics of the day, but must try to
fill up with such stuff as, ''Jones
has whitewashed his let fence."
So here is to you and your readers:
Irmo is about on equilibrium
What is going on ia one end of town
is about the same at the other. If
somebody dees a smart thing or
'cuts a new step," some one fellows
suit, so that we are all at about par.
We are glad to say that we have '
a splendid school rynniDg here now 1
wim Mr. Thad W. Dreher as Principal
and Mrs. D. A. Pressiy as
Assistant. Mrs. Pressiy will come :
in as soon as the school get9 larger, i
which will be after the Fair ia over,
and with two Buch teachers we ;
should be able to turn a few new i
leaves. <
Some of our boys and girls have
become so well advanced that they i
have deemed it best to go elsewhere i
to school.
We are glad to see such progress
and hope some day to see some of j
our boys and girls at the head of the
literary class of our country. "A i
good name is rather to be, chosen i
than great riches," but when it comes
to education let my boy and giil be
thorough and we will see about the
name later. Alas 1 too many, nowa- i
dajs, go to college for the name, and ]
the name is about all they come 3
home with. i
Saturday night No. 84:, ran into 3
No. 2, on the Columbia, Newberry 1
and Laurens railroad at White Kock. <
No one hurt. No. 2 was about seven i
hours late and on the time of No. 84, '
and stopped to get wood and No. 84 i
ran into her rear, tearing up engine
2 and demolishing the cab of train {
No. 2.
Everybody is getting ready for the
State Fair, "regardless of age, color
or previous conditions of servitude."
They are all going and many will go
rich and come back poor. (
Fine crops have been made here
tbis year. Some have made as much
as one bale of cotton per acre on an
* A - . mi
average 01 nve to ten acres, mis is
fine cropping. ,
Since the decline in the price of
cotton, selling has subsided considerably
on our market, most of our
farmers boldiDg for ten cents.
"Grafting" io high life is becoming
so frequent that it is getting to
be popular and even some of the
common people sleep with one eye
open for a chance to "graft" on Borne- (
thing. "The love of money is the
root of all evil," and if stringent
measures are not resorted to to stop
"grafting" and dishonest money
getting it is bard to tell to what extent
this kind of thing will go.
There is a way to stop eome of it
aDd it should be done. H.

Could Not Account for Injuries.
State, 24th.
Joe. M. Gunter, a resident of Brookland
who is running a barbecue at the
fair grounds, drove up to the front of
the street railway transfer office about
11 o'clock last night with blood dripping
from a wound in his head and
his right arm apparently broken near [
the wrist. He could not account for l
the manner in which hs received his
injuries and to those who saw him j
and heard him talk he gave the imnrpsoinn
of hpinor rvprfapI.!v Rnhor '
r'? ? ?& t" ?j
He was driving to the city from the

tbe Atlantic Coast Line aDd was driving
along tbe new extension of Assembly

thrown from the side of tbe road.
Mr. Gunter said he had absolutely no
recollection of being struck nor of
meeting with any mishap but when
he came to himself he wad standing
in the middle of the street aDd his
horse aDd wagon were fgoDe. He
had received a cut on the right side
of his head and blood was seen to be
3prinkled on the wagon seat. There
was no cut or scar to indicate the
arm was broken.

If the farn^ers of the south would
produce all the provieoDs necessary
for feeding the people of this section
and then make cotton a surplus crop
this would become the most prosperous
section of the union. The farmer
who produces his own supplies is the
only one who prospers.
