What does the boy go after when he leaves the farm? If wo know what takes the boy away from the farm, and we can bring that thing to the boy in stead of allowing the boy to go after the th inj? then the problem is solved at once. But it is often the case that it is not possible to bring to the farm that which the boy is after. One of these are that some boys have a rov ing disposition, to see something of the world, and when thia is the case tho sooner this boy can get all he wantBinthat line the better it will be for him. This kind of disposition is born in some boys, and they cannot help it. We may as well put it down for sure that about eight out of every ten boys that leave the farm leave there looking for the dollar, or some thing that the dollar could bring to the farm, and just here that there are few things that the dollar cannot bring to the farm. Now, as we all know, money will not buy religion, bnt most any missionary lecturer will tell you that money is a powerful factor in sending the gospel to the foreign heathen, and also a wonderful aid in christianizing our home heathens; although we are willing to admit that one does not need to be rich to accomplish great things. Ideas, with inspiration in them, cannot be bought with money: but money will too often bring the beautiful society damsel from the town to* the rural home. It will also bring the luxuries of the town to the country, but it cannot bring the pleasures and luxuries of rural life to the city. Tho trend of the times are that the rural mail, the rural telephone and the rural trolley will soon anni hilate space, and money will bring all theso to the farm, but all the money in the city cannot bring the rural home to the city. The rural trolley will ere long cover over the moat prosperous sections of our rural districts, and thus bring out to the farm all the gaiety and attractivo glee clubs, and sweet Binarere of the town to enjoy an even ing at the home of the rural damsel; but money will never bring to the city the lovely scenery, the dweet songs of all the birds, or the smell of the new mown hay-field. A new era is now dawning upon the farmer. Cotton-growers for forty years have been perfecting a system and learning how to grow this great wealth-producing staple. The have improved the seed and been too busy learning the culture of the plant and how to manage the ne gro, to see what went with the prouts of this crop. But now cotton-growers have woke up to find that everybody that handles cotton has got rich except the man that does the most work, and that is the grower. We have' just found out that we knew too much about making cotton and too little about how to sell cotton at a profit able figure. The farmer has organized to keep the wealth on the farm that he pro duces, and if he succeeds in doing thia he need not bother about the boys leaving the farm any more. When ever the farmer learns how to retain upon the farm the money that he pro duces, he need fear no more about his boys' leaving the farm, for you may rest assured that boys like to stay around near where the dollars are made. . In order to learn the children of Is rael obedience to His law, and to pre pare them to take possession of the promised land, God, in his. wisdom, caused the children of Israel to wander forty years in the wilderness bnrore they were, allowed to enter their promised land. God, in His wisdom, has caused Southern cotton-growers to serve, as slaves to grow cotton to enrich the world of cotton industries before the cotton-grower ha* come to see the promised land of a rich and prosperous South. We now see our promised land and know that we have paid the price for it, and. won the victory througn organ ization and concert of action. We ought never to forget that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. When farmers faavelearned how to price their own products-and do it-the problem of how to keep our boya on the farm has beep solved. lt is said that most any. fool can make money, but it takes another sort of aman to take care of it. Jost here ?B'whore the great strength of organi zation comes in. . The Farmers' Union has in ita ranks many of the best business and moat successful farmers and we all profit by the combined counsel of euch men. Des4.!: of a True Christian Woman. Our community wan deeply pained and shocked oh Saturday* when the ead intelligence in the death of our be loved friend, Mrs. Iva Orean Breh nas. Uf?. Buchanan died on Satur day, and on Sunday was laid to rest at Lebanon, amid a crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives. We feel sure our loved one isa! rest. She joined tho Baptist Church to ber early girl hood, and was over faithful to her Sromiso to God. Everything, was ono that loving banda could do. but to no avail-her spirit soon passed away to tho Almighty Father, who sent her for some good porfi?se, and she felt that her work waa done, and pared to die, if It be to go.

Leonard, a lunatic who had been confined in the North Carolina asylum at Morganton, was brought to Anderson Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff Dorsett of Davidson county, who came to deliver him to Sheriff Green. Acting under instructions from the Governor's oflioe, Sheriff Green declined to receive Leonard on the ground that he was never a citizen of this State and that the South Caro lina authorities had nothing to do with him. The North Carolina authorities took tho position that Leonard was not a citizen of their State and accord ingly tried to unload him on South Carolina. . Leonard was formerly confined in the asylum at Columbia, for a period of abont eight years, but waa released in January and was taken to North Caro lina by bis father, who promised in writing that he would not nave him re turned to the hospital for the insane. Sheriff Green declined to receive Leonard, the North Carolina sheriff could not take him back, and so tbe unfortunate man was left to pursue the even tenor of his way. He former ly lived at Pelzer, and he waa given enough money tc pay his railroad faro to that point. Woman Puis "Bough on Rats" in Food.

At the preliminary hearing before Magistrate Acker the evidence againet the woman was strong, and for her alleged murderous attempt on the life of Eliza Henderson, Bhe was commit ted to the county jail to await trial at the September term of the sessions court. Hon ca Path People Talked of Lynch ing. . A special dispatch to the Greenville News nnder date of Sunday gives the following interesting account of the terrorizing of the? town of Hones Path by a notorious character: "John Mc Gaha, a noted local desperado, filled up on cheap liquor this afternoon and about 9 o'clock tonight returned to town and drove through the streets firing right and left with his ever-ready pistol. He did this for at least half an hour and the citizens, led hy C. E. Harper and J. C. Milford, lined up on the sidewalks and returned the fire. One hundred shots were fired, but owing to poor marksmanship no one was hurt. McGahawho Ima killed two men in the past is now safely lodged in the station house while the incensed public is talking of lynching. Cooler heads are advising that the law take its coarse, however, and there is not much apprehension of mob law." Townvllle News. Miss Lucy Martin, from Hartwell, Ga., is visiting Miss Janie Gaines.

M-ibatforl jrcat improvement in Pickens Since Dis pensary Was Voted Out. "There is not one-tenth aa much liquor bein# consumed in Pickena icunty today RS th-J io waa wheo the iiispensary waa in operation at the sounty seat," said Major John J. Lewia esterday. "Of course there are lind tigera about the county. I have never known a timo when these deal ers were not to be found, and the peo ple when they voted the dispensary out, never hoped to get rid of the ille gal dealer any more than they did when they voted the State liquor busi ness in. But what they did hope to accomplish haa been done. The con sumption of liquor haa been reduced to a minimum, and there ia leaa used io my county today than ever before in its hiatory." Major Lewia was for a number of years clerk of the court at Pickena and is now United States Commissioner. There ia not a man better poBted in the county and what he says is worth something. In speaking of the liquor conditions in the town of Pickena itself, Major Lewia aaid that the place waa amall ami this being the case it would be im possible for a blind tiger io operate to ?ny estent without being caught. In the unsettled condition of affairs that prevailed just alter the conatabulaly were removed several blind tigera at tempted to operate, but now that the aheriif of the county, the magiatratea, constables, the United States mar shals, and the sentiment of the people generally ia down on the illicit busi ness and working systematically against it, the efforts of those who at tempted to break the law have practi cally ceased. The commissioner said that he knew of ten or ?fteen men who came to Pickens every Saturday and loaded np with whiskey, generally getting drunk before leaving for home. That was before the dispensary was voted out. Now a drunk man is scarcely ever, perhaps never, seen on the streets of the county seat.-Greenville News. Burgess Bridge News.
