cumstances, there will be no j
changes made. The paper will
be issued as before, and the sub- j
scribers will not feel any effects i
of the slight change of owner- ]
ship.
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!'

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.

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.
