How to Keep the Boy on The Farm.
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.

Lunatic Refused by Two Carolinas.
Juhn A. 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.

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."

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
