AUCTIOI ?t Wfistmi WHY About six or eight years ago WESTMINSTER wac a very small village, and two or three men owned most of the property, which, of course, was very cheap at that time. Some of these men decided that to sell oft some of their property, thereby giving encouragement to others -o come, wouid be expedient .or the growth of tho Town. They ; !d so, and Just then the little tow Btarted upward. Sh0 grew, and she grew. Homes sprang up, buoinccs houses were added, and enterprises of diffcront kinds clarted, r.nd to day we doubt if there ls a town in tho whole State of South Caro lina that can show such a marvelous and substantial growth in the past six or eight years as the Town of Westminster. which has sprung from a small town of three or four hundred to a growing arid prospering city of nearly three thousand souls, with sounds of rushing business on every hand, the roaring of tho big Cotton Mills, the hum of the busy Oil Mill, the buzz of the Knitting Mills, the whirr of tne Shuttle Mills, the songs of the 1-inning Mills, the chimes of whistles, the clash of the hurrying teams, the click of the opening bank vaults, the call of the big school bell-all speak success and progress. NOW? The demand ls for more residences, more business houses. People are wanting to come in and share the benefits and pros perity of this town and be accessible to one of the best schools in the State, aB WESTMINSTER has a large and beautiful brick school building., well equipped, and a corps of teachers that can not be excelled in the South.

Wild Hog Union, Anderson coun ty will take in six new members at the next meeting. The boys are mad, getting desperate, and have learned they can't hannie theil enemies with" ont help ard lots of it, so they are falling in line just like men that meant to make some howl. Tell me what yon are doing. Dry summer usually follows a wet winter. If this rule holds good this year, the farmer who does not pre pare his lands for a dry season will get left. Propaiation of lands by deep plow ing not only prepares the land for drought, but it also makes the bes', preparation to stand heavy rains or long wet spells. Cotton bears and fertilizer trust?! have been the chief subjects for pbuse by cotton growers for ninny years. If you are In earnest about this thing now ls the time to cut their acquaintance-don't take men into your business and mix with them if you cannot trust thom. Getting in trouble ls smooth down hill going; getting out is up hill and Fometlmes very slippery climbing. Before you contract any debts this year on your cotton crop better count on only one bale this season where you got two last year. Don't calculate on all others cut ting acreage and you being the only man to enlarge b's cotton acreage. Now and then you hear of some one being shot with a gun they thought not loadod. Play with things that are not dangerous. Better whistle than whlue. We are in the Farmers' Union be cause tho union is good enough, and there ls nothing better to go into. Quit howling BO much yourself, and go to doing the right thing. This will cause your enemies to do the howling a while. Call for a change, and you'll get lt. In order to cure the sour belches you got by trying to swallow up the : * whole union, don't try to make some other fellow swallow the medicine the union prescribed for your own disease. Just as well hack your ears, gulp it down and ruminate on the thing a while and you'll he a better union man next time. The Farmers' Union is alter that class ol' farmers who have their minds made up to do something for themselves and make the world move forward. Wherever the Farmers' Union has taken a good hold in a community, the people are becoming educated and up-to-date in every way, which fact makes it much harder for that "rtlck duck," the circulating agent, to do the farmer up on any old game. You never had any Idea the far mer had so many friends until you get a good strong Farmers' Union In the county, did you? You never could say, "Good Lord, delver us out of the hands of some of our friends," with so much grace as you can now since the recent New York panic squeezed out the deceit in these false friends! Prejudice never builds up any thing; It tears down friendship, co operation, progress, and laughs over the ruin. Don't allow this demon to enter the union. Remember that when the stomach nerves fail or weaken, dyspepsia or Indigestion must always follow. But strengthen these same weak Inside nerves with Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and then see how quckly health will again return. Weak heart and kid ney nerves cnn always be strength ened with the Restorative, where heart pains, palpitation or kidney weakness Is found. Don't drug the stomach, nor stimulate the heart or kidneys. That Is wrong. Go to the cause of these ailments. Strengthen these weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop's Restorative and get well. A simple, single test will surely tell. J. W. Bell.

RndioAVireless Telephone Communi cation Established. Radio-wireless telephonic commu nication between Berlin and Copen hagen ls now an established fact. By this "undamped" or continu ous wave system (as opposed to the "explosions" of the ordinary wire less system) Waldemar Poulson, the Danish inventor, has interchanged messages between the wlrleas tele phone stations at Weissensee, a sub urb of Berlin, and Lyngby, near Co penhagen, a distance of 20 0 miles. The transmission has left nothing to be desired in the way of clear ness and audibility. Preparatory ar rangements had been made between Weissensee and Lyngby, the record er and transmitter were turned alike and punctually at the signal the first long distance wireless telephonic message was flashed through the air from Berlin across North Germany, and the waters of the sound. Music, played in Berlin,was distinctly heard in Copenhagen. Numbers and a se ries of test words were recorded with the greatest of ease. The operators at Weissensee say that no technical reason exists why radio-telephony should not be estab lished between Berlin and London. The only obstacle is money. The erection of stations in the center of Merlin sufficiently powerful to reach London would entail enormous ex pense. This hindrance, however,. In the opinion of electrical experts, should soon be surmounted, and be fore long radio-telephones replace the present wire system. The entire apparatus used in the Berlin-Copenhagen conversations is simplicity itself. It consists solely of a transmitter, a reo.oiver, the mast, the antennae (which protect the sound waves), and the power plant. The mast used at Weissensee station is n. tall factory chimney near tho power house. The system differs from spark telephony, in that the transmitter produces the required waves by means of n noiseless, con tinuous, direct current, replacing by Its continuity of action the danger ous high tension developed by spark telephonic systems. "Over the open sea," said Dr. Hechler. the chief of the station nt Weissensee, "radio-telephony with continuous waves is a comparatively oasy matter up to 300 miles. Peve ral vessels are adding the Poulsen apparatus to their telegraphic instal lations. It is peculiarly well adapted for lighthouse purposes." Given Vp to Die. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia street, Evansville, Ind., writes: "For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good, and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was "recommended and tho first bottle gave me great relief, and after tak ing the Becond bottle I was entirely cured." Why not let lt help you9 For sale by all druggists. COWBOYS NOT EXTINCT. Room for Plenty of Thom Duo to Recent Government Rulos. Despito the predictions ahout his passing, with which sentiment writ ers nave hoon favoring tho public of late years, the western cowboy, says Leslie's, is not on tho verge of extinc tion. When owners cf large herds of cattle were permitted to fence vast areas of pasture land, which they had teased, the number of cowboys was greatly reduced. Since all tho cattle were within fence and within easy reach of the ranch house, there was no need of bold horsemen to ride among tho herds and "cut out" cat tle, for all those herded belonged to one owner. Now, however, under the rulings of the department of the interior, the wire fences must be re moved and all ranges will again he free. Cattle will wander from ono watering place to another and graze over different areas, so that thero will again be need of concerted move ments among cattlemen for the "round-ups," In which animals bear ing their respective owners' brands will be separated. No difficulty Is anticipated In securing mon experi enced lu the handling of cattle, as well as the necessary number of in experienced youths who desire the excitement of a wild, open air life, but cattlemen are somewhat con I erned as to the outlook for good cow ponies. Ranchmen and stock owners have kept only the small sup ply needed for themselves, and for a time it is likely to be hard to find many horses which have been broken to the work of cattle herding.

In some Instances lt is stated that no birds are now protected, and I. would be vory glad If you would make it known through your col umns that there has been no change made In the bird, game and Ash laws of this State, except two very minor amendments concerning the season in Lexington county and making a close season for the opossum. The Audu bon Society will shortly have printed copies of all of the bird, game and fish laws for distribution, and we wish to warn all parties that viola tions of the laws will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
