The weather has been cold ] and some damage has been done 1 to the fruit crop, but it is hoped 1 that enough is yet uninjured to make a fair crop. The early- i blooming peaches seem to have 1 suffered most. But in case the \ fruit is killed, there is hope for [ the melons, blackberries and ' huckleberries. A good crop of these will aid very greatly in appeasingtheai^titesof editors , l here is an epidemic of fever in and anound Pageland, and a good many persons have fallen victim to it within the past few weeks. The peculiar feature of it is that, while it is very conta- , gious, it seems to be almost in- ; curable. Then it is a progressive kinrl of fpvnr naceinnr |'XIIU1II UI1C j stage to another at intervals. The local doctor, who is an ex- ] pert in his line, and his assistants have made no effort to check the disease, hut on the other , nand, thev seem to rejoice when a new victim is found. This fever is abroad in the land, and ] there have been a few cases here < for quite a while. But recently , the number has greatly increased. The fever is usually called Ford \ fever, and Guy Watts and his ] helpers keep a hospital open ] regularly for aiding those who desire aid .Occasionally a patient \ begins to recover but as he does ] so the next stage of the disease ] takes 1 old and it is then called i M:. .well or Overland or some such name. j A Busy Husband ] A colored mammy worked for ? many > ears for a rich lady. The time came when she married. * Her mistress met her a few < weeks after. 1 " Well, Dinah, have vou a good husband?" "Good! said Dinah. "Ah should say so; he am sweeter dan honey!" ' "Is he a good provider?" asked 1 the lady. 1 "A good provider?" said Dinah. "Ah spects he is! We was only J married two weeks when hi got 1 me seben new wash places." i 41 heard of a man this afternoon who married a girl on his I death bed so she could have his 1 millions. Could you love a i girl like that?" she queried archly. ! "Could I? Just give me her I fuulress!'

C, . - < Stevenson Favors Rural Cieditsll Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candidate for congress from this district, calls attention to the fact the Democratic, the Republican and the Progressive parties all endorsed Rural Credits in their platforms in 1912. Congress has passed a general banking bill for mercantile purposes, and boasts that it is the greatest in the world. Why did they forget the party pledge of all the parties to take care of the farmer? Is the law now propos ed calculated, if passed, to relieve the need? He will have more to say later about this proposed law. (Advertisement) r % Chickens! Chickens! ' Chickens! Prices for this week. Hens, 9 cts per pound. Spring chickens 17 1 2 cts.

The Mammoth Yellow Soja Bean promises to be one of the most profitable crops for southern farmers everywhere. Makes a large yield of beans, which are readily salable for oil-producing and food purposes, in addition to its use for forage, soil-improving and stock feeding. Splendidly adapted to our southern soils and climate. The New 100-Day Velvet Bean the quickest growing of Velvet Beans, promise to supercede Cow Peas very largely as a soil-improv ing, forage and gazing crop throughout the South. Cheaper to seed per acre than cow peas.
