Tho holberton (Oa.) Star says: "When people copy a real good ar ticle instead of sending tho original printed article, aa?! send it to tho nowspapor as an original article, they rarely fool the editor. Tho first sign that the article is no; original ls t li o write/ refuses to sign his nanto, al though this is not always tue ease. Tho only proper course for tho edi tor if? pursue ls lo refuse to print! any article that is not signed, Then If Hi?1 articlo is copied tho signer is responsible. Jt is a dangerous Hiing to obi i in something that doesn't be long lo you." The Courier frequently gels this sort of " copied original papers," but wo follow ibo Star's rule and dump them into tho wasto basket-that is, of eon rsi', unless the writer states that the ni ?ter is copied and because of its merit, republication would be a pp rocla t cd.

Route ?, wants vhis neighbors and friends to help him light tho boll weevil. In fact, ho wants every far mer to help him. Ho does not want them to light with bayonet and bul let, but with v.tcol plows, horses and mules and grain. "Wo know you will agreo with us ia saying that Mr. Davis deserves this help when we tell you he has sown ninety bushels of oats, ten bushels of rye and eight bushels of wheat. And wo feel sure you will agree with us again whon we say Mr. Davis is a farmer with a vision." Mr. Davis is ono of the mon of Oco neo who have gon* at "blazing the trail" to prosperity and to boll woevil extinction in ^io right way. Small grain crops planted in tho fall, and cover crops on ovory available acre in tho spring not actively engaged in making some necessary crop that requires clean cultivation, will do moro toward boll woevil extinction than all tho calcium arsenate, dust or liquid form, that ono can uso on tho growing crop of v ttton if small grain and cover crops are neglected. Mr. Davis is doing tho right thing. His neighbors may not follow bis ex ample, but eventually they will wish they had. TDK ECONOMY MOMK CAMPAIGN Has Deon Launched in State-Wide Nature-Oconco Organization, Hov. J. H. Spaulding, superintend-j ont of Hie Economy Home, at King's j Creek, S. C., was in Walhalla last! Saturday looking after tho interests. Of his wonderful institution. lt has recently been decided to put on a State-wide campaign for this In stitution, which is doing tl wonderful! work among tho unfortunate chil droll of our State. Clovernor Harvey j lias recently visited the institution, j and ho left with V broader view of the great work being accomplished hy it. Writing to Rev. Spaulding af ter bis visit to King's Creek, Gover nor Harvoy said: "Stato of South Carolina, "Olllco of the Governor, "Columbia, S. C., Oct. 18,11)22. "To Whom lt Mny Concern: "Because of tao confidence I have in the work hoing done by the Kcoii omy Home. King's Creek, S.

I j most heartily endorse the attempt he-: lng made hy Kev. .1. H. Spaulding, t'ne superintendent, and his co-work ers, ii. laying this noble work on tho hearts of our people. "I believe our people will furnish the money to do this when they aro j sufficiently informed of the work. "Let us give them a hearing. "Sincerely yours. "Wilson (!. Harvey, "Governor." Creal Work Progressing. A few years ago tho Econon y ; Home was launched with a few; unfortunate children - young boys : and young girls whose mothers bad i been taken from them by tho baud j ol' death, lt is not always the case, that both parents of the children ere dead, but often tho absence of tho j mot her from the home croates a sit uation where the father is unable to give tho proper attention to bis chil dren, especially if they aro girls, ai d the instil ut ion at King's Creen is of such a nature that many young lives I may be saved for tho homo and tl o j State, where otherwise they might j becomo tho prey of those beasts of low mentalty and perverted morality whose aim in life is to wreck lives instead of seeking to make brighter homes and contribute to the building np of a stronger and purer woman hood. Rev. Spaulding gave a strong illus tration of the nature of the work at. King's Creek when he said that tho institution is a "savatory," not a "re formatory"-in other words, that the young-especially tho girls-are taken in and cared for, taught Ibo right way in which to go-trained for (be better life -saved from sin and the "beasts ol' prey". rather j than seeking to reform wayward and sinful women in biter years, which would often be the necessary course in many cases were those young girls left to their own devices during the years that aro so important in the formation of character . Something of the growth and mag nitude of the work may ht! learned from Hie fact thal at tho present ?Hiere aro ,".7,", young boys and girls 1 hoing trained and their characters moulded al King's Crook to-day. The ages ol' these wards of Ibo institu tion range from two to fourteen years. There is no limit as to -ago. the chief consideration being the im mediate needs of the individual. Kev. Spaulding appeared here be fore the mooting of the lea ch ors of Oconco, and it is probable that the work in our county will have ils be ginning through that source, .lan?os M. Moss. Mayor of Walhalla, bas ta ken active inten in Hie effort to be made in Oconco, and bas consent ed io act as chairman for the cam paign work in our county. The King's Creek Economy Home is a most worthy and deserving in stitution, and Oconoe should havo a pari in the stale campaign in the in . terell ol' it. WV *t S Plc?2 i>;;cM'jpe.i up?

Editor Keowee Courier: It was a distinct pleasure to mo, as an invited guost, to participate in the festivities of tho recent annual re union of the Alexanders and other friends -and relatives, to be with them on the 27th of October, on which day they always assemble. Just to think-In tho 40's and 50's I ns we turn tho dusty leaves of the ; old time calendar, for 70 years or, moro, most wonderful to think <> | this Alexander reunion has occurred at the original old and memorable homestead, which is now moro than j ono hundred years old. It was my groat pleasure, when a barefoot boy, I in 1852 and 1853, with my old Blue-1 Hack Speller (all 1 had at that time) to attend school at tho old log school house with tho Abbotts, Alexanders, ' Heeds, Adnirs and other boys and girls in our happy school days of tho j long, long ago. The old Alexander home, which is standing to-day as tho silent sentinel and an aging marker of tho builders of that loag-ago time, is covered with . evergreen, clinging vines, which still cling to tho old rustic chimney as if I ?rasping lovingly tho sacred memory of Hie past ami tho loving hands that fir^t planted them thoro." I sometimes sit and wonder, as wo pack life's fruits away, Aud hoard them in tho cellar, for tho bleak and wintry day, When tho mind of man has never tried to store a stock of cheer In the cellar of his memory for tho barren limo of year. In the year of lSf>2 or 1S53-In August of that year-I spent my first night in this memorable old pino log house. I was going to school at tho old Josh Perkins old Held school bouse. My schoolmate, John H. Al exander, was my chum. Tie was a man over six feet tall, about 2 5 years old, and I a boy of eigbt. years. Wo were always fast schoolboy friends. John A. would have mo to go homo with him, as school boys used to do. II was quito a long walk, and John, ia tho goodness of his kind heavt, backed up near an old stump, and said, "Sam, climb up on my back and I will carry you some," I did so, and bo had me astride of his shoulders as though I was a Confederate sol dier's knapsack. We slept together in that old pine log house, as school boys used to do. He was a fine and handsome man-very black hair and blue eyes and complexion fair. Thai fall, or the next, ho went to Missouri, lived there a number of years, took California gold fever, pulled out for that State, and lived and died there. He never carno back to his native State of South Carolina. Ho loft, a? 1 learn, two lino daughtors, who nro very wealthy and well-to-do. All of which I am glad to know. I went to this old school houso at Conoross with Miss Marth, Lovoy, Newton and Joseph Alexander. The. only ones now living, as I learn, are Mrs. Martha Alexander Gibson ind Newton Alexander. My brothor, W. H, Dendy, taught this old Conoross scbool in 185S and 1851. Others who went to this school at that limo were Mrs. George Leathers, who was a daughter of tho lalo Alfred Adair, and Rev. W. W. Abbott also wont to Hus school, and tho writer. A largo crowd had assembled to comm?mora to this annual reunion. There is a long rustic, old-time table which was most bountifully supplied with fruits. Howers and all tho good things to eat that men and women could assimilate. 1 learned that there woro present live generations of the original Alexander family. I am glad to say that they aro very prolific, which is lo the uplift of Stale and church and school and society. May they forever continuo thus. II is a thing of variegated beauty al this time of tho year, to stand now, as I did in the years gono by. and see thc beautiful old-gold of tho forest that has lo some extent boen spared by the great modern steam roller of civilization. Perhaps my nleco, Mrs. Julia D. Shnnklin, and I wore the only ones present, at this grand convocation who were not directly related lo the Alexanders and their descendants although lt would have appeared that wo, too, were related, from tho un limited, unstinted, kind-hearted hos pitnlity bestowed upon us. She and I most respectfully thank them all for such loving remembrances as worn extended to us. While wo all enjoyed this fine and congenial gathering, I must say that, when I realized tho fact that many of my life-long friends and Confederate comrades havo passed away, my throbbing heart aches with sadness and sorrow. I weep with ihOSO who are in distress: I rojotco willi tho young and merry. 1 am so constitut ed by my Creator, So please allow mo to add a verse or two: When Ibo golden-rod has withered, and the maple leaves aro red; Whoa the robin's neat ls empty and Ibo cricket's prayers aro said, In tho silence and the. shadow of tho swiftly hastening fall Como the dear and happy homo days. days we love tho best of all.
