Asbury Francis Lever, the V idol of the people of the Seventh Confo gre99ional district : "One of the resourceful men of the 60th Congress is Asbury Francis Lever, tof Peak's, Lexington County. Raised on the banks of the Broad River, spending his time in early youth bet tween fishing for the cat fish along the muddy banks of nearby streams and attending the short sessions of ^ the country schools until he entered ^ Newberry College, he saw great opV portunities lying undeveloped around thim. He saw there were thousands of acres of land in the swamps around Columbia that are now worthless. They could be made productive. He ^ waited and learned. Now work is vp* going to be done to drain those swamps, 20,000 or more acres, and JC, they are to be made fit for cultivation. V S. M. Woodward, drainage expert, has gone to Columbia to practically work out plans for draining these vp lands, in accordance with requests made of the denaitment of aerricul /C ture by Mr., Lever some time ago. V The idea is to have Mr. Woodward prepare plans and estimates of the ]s|! cost of opening up this tract to culV tivation. His work will be of an edutcational kind. He will simply show the farmers and others interested what to do and what the expense will ^ be of making lands that are now un/3s> productive yield bountiful crops. After Mr. Woodward has completed wam his work he will make a report to the ? Secretary of Agriculture." de Letter To H. L. Oswald. Lexington S.

With one paint, 10 a gallons is plenty; another, 11 or 12 or J}5 13 and so on to 22 gallons; and every gallon has to be paid-for and painted ?$2 to $4 a day for painting paint stuffed-out with some sort of whitewash.

Derrick, clerk of the Lexington County Dispensary Board, Mr. W. B. West, State dispensary auditor, took occasion to commend the board for the way and manner in which the dispen118 saries of this county are conducted. It is a notable fact that the books re of the board was checked up by Mr. al West when he was over here a few weeks ago, and they balanced to the *e" very cent. This is indeed remarka ia" ble, considering the very large amount of business and the number of items listed. It is safe to say that the liquor business of the eounty could not llr be in better hands, and we wish to congratulate every member of the board upon the very excellent show?k ing they have made, he m Big Verdicts at Florence.

C., wearing a cheap hat and a shabby long black coat, appear ed in police headquarters yesterday about noon, brought there by officers who were trying to get the straight of a matter in which Mrs. Gibson was accusing her half-sister of trying to rob her of some of her money. "She told a long story of having been once worth $500,000. She said the banks had beaten her out of $340,000. She also claimed to be the woman who was slugged by a real estate man at San Antonio and robbed of $60,000. This happened about three months ago and there was considerable published of the affair in the papers at the time. Mrs. Gibson recovered the money by recognizing and arresting her assailant just as he was boarding a train at San Antonio, to leave the country. 9 "Mrs. Gibson's home is in Columbia, and she wants to return there. She was apparently sane and the officers could do no more than help her in her desire to leave the country. She was persuaded to buy a satchel and store her huge roll of bills in it."?The State, 23rd.

I A popular and witty minister, on I ascending the steps of the church one | Sunday afternoon, saw an old woman struggling against rheumatics to reach the top of the steps, and at once taking her by the arm he gently assisted her up. On reaching the top, she asked him who was to preach. "Oh, Rev. B.," he replied, giving his own name. "Oh, gracious!" exclaimed the old woman, "help me down again. I would rather listen to a man sharpening a saw. Please help me down again. I do not care to go in." The minister was at first inclined to refuse, but the humor of the situation tickled him, and he remarked as he reached the bottom of the 9teps, "You are quite right, my good woman; I would not go in myself if I was not paid for it." ?.... 4 30 Days' Trial $1.00 is the offer on Pineules.
