anent Hon. 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."

Letter To H. L. Oswald.
Lexington S. C.,
31* Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a
?* small coin. He set his bag down and
01 1 looked for it. Found it, but somebcdy,
a else had run-off with his bag.
. y A man who is going to paint had
J?" better look-out for his gallons. Devoh
f is the least-gallons paint.
V It's gallons that cost; it isn't the
? price of a gallon. 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.
The less the price of a gallon,
the more the gallons.
ise Bank messengers better look-out for
:an their bags and not stop to hunt for
,ys small coin; and property-owners bet"]
ter look-out for the gallons that make
iat the expense, and not for the price
a which has nothing to do with it.
nd Yours truly,

ag Dispensary Board Commended.
" In a recent letter to Mr. G. A. 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,

Us9 Plenty of Lime.
Get lime as soon as you can and
sprinkle it everywhere, it will mean
fewer flies and less sickness this summer.
It will not do to put it off too
late, use before the first ciop of flies
is born, and you will have fewer crops
to contend with. It takes trouble,
but it will save trouble, you can use
the same energy that you would have
to use fighting flies in the summer to
get something accomplished that
would add to your wealth or happiness.?Ex.'

Mother's Almanac.
I tell you, when it comes to dates,
My mother's just the boss!
She tells me all I want to know
'Thout ever gettin' cross.
You'd think she'd get mixed up sometimes;
At school I know I do?
'Bout Washington and Plymouth Rock
And 1492.
But mother says: "The war with Spain
Was fought in '98,
The year you all had chicken pox, I i
Exceptin' Sister Kate.
"The Boer war was in Africa?
That was a dreadful thing?
Began in '99, I know,
For Jack was born that spring.
"In '89 the Spanish ships 1
Were sunk in Cuba channels; j
'Twas summer, for you children had <
Just changed your winter flannels. s
"In 1904, my dear, 1
Tho Pnaaiana fnncht the Jar>s.
A"v P X - '
That year was very cold, and you
Had chillblain9 and the chap9."
There's six of us, and we're mixed up
With hist'ry just that way;
Sometimes it's measles, croup or
mumps,
But there's no date that ever stumps
My mother, night or day.
Silled by Lead Pencil.
James Foster, a young white boy of
Cherokee Springs, Spartanburg county,
died a few days ago from blood
poisoning caused by the point of a
lead pencil. He was running around
with a lead pencil in his mouth, and
in falling the point of the lead stuck
in his mouth. This should be a warning
to all parents.

Sirs. Sallie Gibson
la Trouble Again.
The following appeared in one of*
the Oklahoma City papers of recent
date:
4'With ?12,910 in greenbacks, most
of ?10 and ?20 denomination and none
over ?50, Mrs. Sallie A. Gibson of Columbia,
S. 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.

This Preacher Was Paid. 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."
