WORTH IJWOO.OOO-WHO IS mo ? Woman Offers $1,000 to RI. C. I*>ng to "Got Him" for Her. Mi C. Long, Esq., of Walhalla, has j received a peculiar lettor from u wo man in Georgia who wants to "land" , a man 74 years old and worth three hundred thousand "bucks" for a hus band. We omit the name of the place in Georgia from which tho let ter was written and postmarked, and the name of tho writer. With these I omissions tho lettor ls as follows: "--, Ga., Eeb. 26, 1912. "Mr. M. C. Long-Dear Gentle man: 1 have heard so much about ? your detective work until 1 would be | glad to get you to help mo in a case. ! I guess you will think lt a very strange one. I'll tell you what lt is. "1 know an old gentleman ii years old. He is worth three hun dred thousand dollars. Ho wants to marry, so 1 hear. 1 have met him once, and he seems to be very'nice indeed. "1 am a young girl of 21. I will marry him it* I can get him. "Now, 1 don't think it would do for me to go to him myself. What do you think of me sending some man to see him and see If the man could get him for me? What do you think of such a case as that? If you will take the case up and get the old man for me 1 will pay you not. less than one thousand dollars. He lives In one of your near cities. "You can write me your opinion on suet a case and then 1 will tell you who he is and all about every thing. 1 will be in S. C. in a few day You can address my letter to "Hoping to hear from you by re turn mall, Yours sincerely, "(Miss)-. "P. S.-I will ask you not to say anything about the matter." Mr. Long did not say anything about it--just showed us the letter. " 'Tis leap year, you know," and tho "young girl of 21" should, we think, stand on her rights. Why should she not "get him" herself and save the thousand? But who ls this "gold brick?" "HAGE TEA" AND "BROOM SAGE" Are .. ell Known, But "Sage of Rich land" is a Revelation. Richland. March 2.-Editor Keo wee Courier: We have been very much amused, edilled and entertain ed in reading that little three-cor nered tilt between your most amia-1 hie correspondents or Bounty Land, I Richland and Seneca. Now, wo wish j to record it as our deliberate and mature conviction that your corres-; pondent from Richland, in the last issue of The ("ourler, in which lie so j ably discusses M e "Sage of Rich- . land," distances all competitors and . justly wins ?be palm Por vit truth ' .md classic beauty that little Rein lia ubrurpassed in iLo arl. of letters. Tbl ps ol that cozy beni coi-nu r, the ' cheerful fireside', fl dean hear ti), u br|ghi light-, a full stomach, a fal pocketbook ano a good magazine. Ye gods! That car of corn, thou ' sands of fodder, two cows a month to sell, which means rich cream and good Jersey butter! This brings us to leafy June, and love, and light dresses, and shady nooks where the j sage dotli rest, while others toll and; dig for fat-back ailid pone corn bread i "AU debts are paid" and "plenty : left!" ls this Goshen or the Land of j Canaan, with milk and honey and' all good tilings? Blessed state! Even Moses could only view that country Troni afar, but was never j permitted to enter therein. The Sage of Richland! How de-I lightful is tile sound thereof, lt calls' to mind Mount .Vernon and Monti- ? cello, and some would even dare to ; hint that Thomas, Ga., could boast a wiso man in one Tom Watson. But j Richland! It is glorious! 1 want to, throw down the lien, toss my hat i unfurl Old Glory and yell and scream ! as no mortal ever dared to scream and yell before. We knew we had "broom sage" and sage tea, tho sago that you grind Into sausage meat, but tho Sage of Richland is a reve lation. Here's wishing the "Sage of Rich land" long life and a full share of continued happiness. May his fire never burn low, nor his oyo grow dim, may his cattle continue to in crease and his corn hold out; may lils fodder keep sound and each and every mule make ten bales of cot ton, (whether they have any horse help or not); may that cotton never! sell for less than 12 cents per pound; ! may his children and his children's | Children risc up to call him blessed! AU this- - and this is not the half we would bring ti) him for hts many good qualities, bul especially for be ing the source and substance of the brightest jewel that ever sparkled In tho diadem of literary endeavor . since Adam first (dotbed himself in (lg leaves and winked his eye at Eve Family Jar. (Chicago Journal.) "0, Maria, what's the use of talk ing at cross purp-" "Who's talking at a cross purp, John Lorkins, I'd like to know!" "I was only going to say-" "I know what you were going to say! I hoard you say It!" "I only wanted to-" "You only wanted to call your Wife a cross purp! And you did it!" "I didn't." "You did!" "All I started to say-" "Was that 1 am a cross purp!" "Was that wo both-" "Speak for yourself!" "Were talking at-- " "I know just what you said! ('ross purp!" "At cross purposes." "Well, If that's what you meant, why didn't you say so!" Every Bono in Body Fractured? Enterprise, Miss., March 5.-Fred Ezcll, a workman In a saw mill at this plano, was caught In a belt yes terday and hurled Into tho fly wheel. Every bono In the man's body was broken. When the body loft tho fly wheol lt was thrown 25 feet In air.

The committee, through Us chairman, L. W. C. Hlalock, is sued a call for a State convention to bo held here May 4th to elect dele gates at large to the Republican con vention at Chicago, and dlrectod dis trict chairmen to call district conven tions.
