Wednesday, September 2,1908. ?? Farmers' Union Picnic at Piney Woods. Saturday, Aug. 15, was a gala day for the farmers of Piney Woods and Wheeland locals of Lexington and Newberry counties. This was the fourth annual picnic, and from point of attendance at least, it was the best. The stand was appropriately decorated with the products of the farm? potatoes, pumpkins, sorghum, cotton and corn. At 11 o'clock the chairman called the meeting to order and after prayer tne Jttev. hi. j. <jox waB mwoauueu. He told the boys "Why They Should Stay on the Farm;" because it is the best place to form character and make men. Mr. B. Harris, president of the State Farmers' union, was next introduced and spoke on "The Work of the Farmers' Union." He gave the history of its work and its plans for the future. His address was replete with sound advice to the farmers. Mr. G. F. Hunnicutt, editor of the Southern Cultivator, next spoke on "Higher Standards of Farming." He told now to raise the standard and ^.hn? innrAAAA th? nlaaHnra and nrofit of farm life. His speech was brimful of food for thought. The next number on the program was dinner. The ladies had prepared on excellent dinner,which was spread on a long table in the grove. After dinner Hon. E. H. A nil first addressed the crowd on "The Need of Better Education for the Farmer." He'told of the need of well-trained minds for agricultural pursuits and what had been done along that line, and then gave plans to accomplish 1 * ? ? 11 i ? id. jolis aaaroso wm ?ii vxutmitmb uuo, Hod. D. F. Eflrd spoke next on "The Tendency of the Times." He told of the extravagance and waste of modern times. Commercialism, he said, had eaten its war into nearly every calling and pursuit of life. He warned us against placing the dollar above everything else. Last, bat not least, Hon. J. B. O'Neall Holloway gave an interesting talk on "Why the Farmer Should Take The Farmers' Union Sun." The- crowd was very much disappointed because Mr. S. F. Parrott, editor of The Farmers' Union Sun, was prevented from attending. The music was by local talent and was a departure from "the beaten path" inasmuch as several young girls sang patriotic, secular and sacred airs to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. Notwithstanding the heat and dust everybody seemea to enjoy i themselves, and we feel eure much pood was done in the interest of the farmer. An Attendant. A Paying Investment Mr. John White, of 88 Highland ave., Honlton, Me., says: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. Bang's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banish ed tne annual cougn. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.

At Sansebastion, a most tragic fate befell a very pretty girl, who went Friday to consult a w ell-known woman fortune teller on the future of her fiance. The response must have been unsatisfactory, for the girl fainted and died within a few hours. The woman, who is a professional fortune teller by means of cards, has been arrested. TMnc?s to Remember. Bananas are beneficial to sufferers from chest complaints. Pfilprv onntairts snlnhnr and helns to ward off rheumatism. Honey is a pleasant substitute for cod liver oil. The juice of a lemon is excellent for sore throat, but should not be swallowed, but used as a gargle. Carrots are excellent for gout. Watercress is an excellent blood purified. Lettuce has a soothing effect on the nerves and is excellent for sufferers from insomnia. Tomatoes are good for a torpid liver, but should be avoided by gouty people. Celery is a nerve tonic; onions are also a tonic for the nerves. Spinach hap great aparient qualities, and is far better than medicine for sufferers from constipation. Beetroot is fattening and good for a- 1 X. a. i. people w.uu waai to put ou ucau. Parsnips possess the same virtues as sarsaparilla. Cranberries correct the liver. Asparagus stimulates the kidneys. ?Baltimore American. Best Treatment for a Burn.

Three mllee south of the Mesa Encantadn, Id Mexico, is a splendid specimen of iantastie erosion?an 'island** In the 0r, a rock with overhanging sides Marly 400 feet high, seventy acres tas area on the fairly level top, indents* with countless great hays, notched with dfezy chasms. The greater part flf the island overhangs'the Ma like a hl#> mushroom, aad On the top stands itewn which for artistic aharm, ?thnole#0sal interest and romantie history km ho peer. Thie BMIe town of Ancoma Is ose of the meat perfect types of the prehistoric PHtolo architecture. Most ot the house# semain of the type invented .when every house must be a fort One climbed a ladder to his first roof and pulled 19 the ladder at night living on the second and third floors and using the ground floor as a cellar. Against enemies armed only with bows and arsews this was a fair defense. Comfort had to be sacrificed to safety. Nothing except the eagle sought such inaccessible eyries as these victims of their own civilization. Because they were farmers Instead of freebooters, because they had homes inBtead of being vagrants, they were easy to iud, and they were the prey of a hundred nomad tribes. With Inconceivable labor this island town in the air was built and fortified. It was reached only by a mere trail of toe holes up the stem of the "mushroom." The age of the island is not known, except that it was already old in 1540, when the first explorer visited it and wrote an account of its wonders. No Need of Them Some Day. At a monthly examination a boy of fourteen failed to spell 15 per cent of his words correctly. The tutor told him this was surprising and must not happen again. The boy replied that he Vi/Miorhf ho hnri rinnA nrettv well on UiVU^Uk w r ? -- the whole. "You must study those words over and over again," replied the tutor. "This must not occur at any future time. Study them so that you can remember them forever." The boy stood still in silent contemplation for a few moments and then remarked: . "I was Just thinking that I wouldn't li^e that long."?Harper's Weekly. Private Theatricals. In some private theatricals a fugitive from justice was supposed to escape from his pursuers by concealing himself under a table. The table was i small, and the terrified fugitive was somewhat lengthy. The commander of the pursuing party rushed on the stage and fell over 1 the lege of the man he was searching for. Picking himself up and ludicrously rubbing his shins, he convulsed the audience by exclaiming in true dramatic style: "Ha, ha! The dastardly villain has i eluded m again!" ? Philadelphia Ini quirer.
