THE RAINY DAY.
[Contributed by a Friend. ]
Tie day is oold and dark and dr* ary,
It raiQ8 and the wind is never wfa^y;
Tbe vine still clings to the mouldering
wall,
Acd at every gust the dead leaves fall,
While the day is dark and dreary,
ie nnM anr? Hart, and drearv.
JXy 111C JO -r
It rains, and the wind i* never weary;
Mf thoughts stiilchng to the mo dderins
past,
Bat the hopes of youth fatl thick in
the blast.
And the days are dark acd dreary.
Be sti i, sad heart, and cease repiDing;
Behiod the clouds is the suu still
shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Int? each life som<= rain mu st fall,
And some da^s must be dark and
dreary.

Selling Much Wheat.
Spartanburg, July 20.?Spartanburg
farmers have already marketed
about 5.000 bushels of wheat estimated
as about one-sixth the total
which the county will produce. This
crop is one-third to one-half greater
than last year's crop in the county.
Instead of receiving from 75 cents
to 90 cents per bushel, as last year,
the farmers are getting- from $1 to
? $1.12 per bushel. Wheat is being i
hauled to the Spartanburg roller
mills at the rate of 400 bushels a
day on the average. Saturday 540
bushels were brought to the city.

, , Push It Along.
We should encourage boxing,
. wrestling and other manly sports in
" ? the life of our young people, especially
among young boys. Japan is a
nation of little giants, and all because
of their physical training.
Though small in stature, they are
mighty in the art of self defense.
In America we pay no little attention
to the physical development of
our youth that the country is full
of young men who are totally unable
to offer any reasonable defense
in case of attack. And the time
may come when we will need every
ounce of enerev we can command to
keep our national head above the
waters of defeat.

THE C)RL WHO 8ITES HER NAILS
[UNCLE JOSH]
Her eyes are of a purple hue:
Her nose is tilted saucily:
1 I think she beads her lasnes, too;
Her hair is fixed go flosgdy,
Her charm in only one thing fails,
The little girl who bites her nails.
[
i 'Tis bat the flaw that goes to make
Her beauty the more ravishing, *
liist all the charms by some mistake
' i The go do on ber were lavishing,
1 Who in her fairness VeDns pah* ?
The little girl who bi.es tier nails.
!l For, were perfection there displayed
?fjc'd be t<.0 fair to look upon,
A goddess not for men's eves made,
For beads to write a bock upon;
The human touch one's heart ass.iis
The little jprl who bites her nails.

Law Governing Prohibition Election. |
This election will be held on j
Tuesday, 14th day of September, j
There will be two ballots as pro-1
vided by the statute. One "for;
the manufacture and sale of alco- j
holic liquors and beverages iruSouth 1
Carolina;" the other, "against the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic j
beverages in South Carolina."
There will be but one ballot box. j
If the results of the election are j
against the manufacture and sale:
of alcoholic liquors and beverages
within the state the county dis-1
pensary will be doomed after Dec. !
31st and said sale of alcoholic liquors
and beverages within the state will
be unlawful after that time.
This law has nothing to do with j
the gallon-a-month law regulating!'
the importation of liquors from outside
of the state. j
All persons who are eligible and
desire to vote in this election must
have a registration certificate and a
receipt showing the payment of all
his taxes for the year 1914.
A person to vote in this election !
must have registered more than 150 j
days before the election, unless he 1
becomes of age within the thirty j
days before the election. The only |
remaining opportunity to register;
for this election will be in August.;
The books will be open for at least
i 1 J ' -- A A. ? i. i. 1
inree uays in -rvugusi at tnu cuuuty i
seat in every county and at such i
places in the county as the board of j
registration may designate, by two ;
weeks' notice. In those counties ;
having 50,000 people or more the j
boxes will be open for the first 15 j
days of August. 1
It is earnestly desired by those j
favoring prohibition that the elec-1 "
tion shall be a full expression of the j
sentiment of the people both for i
and against prohibition. And for
that reason all persons who are
eligible to do so, are urged to register
and vote.
