"Are yourfsitting hens setting 1
well?" asks the Wudesboro An <
sonian. Naw. They are still 1
walking ab ut with seemingly
no inclination to sit, set or "lay" *
down.
If every sack of fertilizer that ^
is being carfied away from Pa-e '
land would produce a bale of '
cotton or forty bushels of corn <
or forty bushels of corn some of '
our folks would be about as 5
rich as John D. next fall, but
alas! no such good fortune can
be hoped for yet. The time will 1
come though when every 200- '
pound bag of fertilizer will pro- !
duce that much but it will not J
be 8-2-2 or 8-3.3.

If we are not mistaken the
law that gives the county supervisor
twelve hundred dollars a
year salary states that his full
time must be devoted to public
duties. The custom of the supervisors
is to manage their own
affairs and look after the public
matters at the same time. The
voters might do well to make
this an issue in the coming camDaiern
and elect the man who is
willing to give his time to the
people's business if they pay him
one hundreo dollars per month.

"What about the railroad?"
asks a man occasionally. Well,
just this: it is going to be built if
time last and no great calamity
befalls us. Just when the first
dirt will bogmamtd is i mfyflnf nf
conjecture. The * opinion of
those who are supposed to know
^ is that just as soon as the gap
from Florence to Charleston is
completed work will begin here.
It may be one month or it may
be several, but it is coming and
in the meantime we are not
doing so badly as you might suppose
with the road we have for
three trains per' day each way,
two of which carry passengers,

At this season too many farmers
begin to look over their acres
and find that nearly the whole
- plantation is suited to cotton,
and that all future happiness
and good fortune depends upon
a big cotton crop. It is so easy
to figure that if ten acres will
make ten bales and sell for six
hundred dollars, twenty acres
would make twenty bales, and
amount to twelve hundred
dollars. .Simple isn't? Well this
method of getting rich has ruined
thousands of poor fellows.
By all means make your supplies
at home and all the-feed your
stock can possibly consume,
then if VOli hnvon'f mAro I

five acres left for cotton, be
content with that and next fall
you will be glad of it.
Legislature Still In Session.
The regular forty-day session
of the South Carolina legislature
^ ended Saturday and the legislature
will get no more pay, no
matter how long they continue
in session. The following dis
patch irom Columbia dated
February 22nd, gives the situation
very clearly:
, rrom present indication the
senate will be ready for finial
adjournment the middle or the ;
latter part of this week, without j
disposing of any more of the
- progressive measures. The sen- j
ate does not convene again un- ,
til tomorrow night and the
general appropriation bill, the \
county supply bill and the mag- i
Ik ^1^
A
^ V . ,
strates' bill are routine matters
hatdiave yet to be considered.
\lmost any of tbe other bills on
he calendar except those that
\re uncontested will precipitate
i long debate and perhaps a
ilibuster.
Among the third reading bills
)n the senate's calendar are:
rhe Rittenberg bill to regulate
he liquor traffic of Charleston
jounty; the Stevenson bill to
>rovide for tite election of United
States senators; the Lawson
/ital statistics hill; the Lawtonlarper-McCravey
compulsory
iducation bill; the McLaurin hill
or the sale of the State farms,
tnd the Sharpe resolution for
completing, the canal.
Among second reading bills s
ire: The Beamguard-Sanders <
3ill to abate and enjoin disordery
house; the Fortner bill to pro
libit white teachers from teach- (
irs from teaching in neg?r>
;cl>ools; and the negotiable instrument
bill.
The house is marking time
waiting on the pleasure of the
senate to pass the general appropriation
bill, the omnibus county
supply bill and the magistrates'
bill before adjourning sine die.
The house will meet Monday
night at 8 o'clock, when the Belser
bill proposing legislation
which will equalize taxation in
the various counties of the State
has been make a special order.
The measure is a house bill on
second reading, and unless the
session is extended much longer
than seems probable at present
it sta ids small chance of passage
tfris year through both the house
and senate.
Yesterday was the 40th day in
which the general assembly has
been in session. Consequently,
the members will not receive
any more pay, no matter now
long they remain in session *
^ Early next week the house
will probably continue all second
reading bills on its calendar,
realizing the futility of getting
any^Mhen^H^^jj^J^
' CHURCH NOTES
Methodist Episcopal
By Rev. J. A. McGraw
That a friendSn need is a friend
indeed is realized to be a fact
whpn a brother comes up and
pays some "quarterage," as we
Methodists term it, four weeks
ahead of quarterly conference.
Bro. Rowell, who assisted in
our Zion meeting last summer,
will be with us this year at Antioch
for eight days beginning
on the fifth Sundav in An crust
Our first quarterly conference
will be held on Saturday before
the fhurth Sunday in March at
Zion.
Occasionally we are asked to
get a bible for some one and in
view of this fact we have arranged
to keep a few of several
styles of bibles on hand tnis year
?not for speculative purposes
but for the convenience of the
public, and especially our friends
We have a nice S. S. scholar's
bible, something new to most
people, and old folks' bible, a
red-letter bible and some other
styles. If you want c no we will i
divide our commission * ith you
Next Sunpay at 11 o'clock is
our appointment at Zion, at 3.30
at Prices and at 7.30 at Pageland.
