S. C., under Postal Act
of March 3, 1879.

We should like to see the legislature
pass a bill to make all
* public roads two hundred feet
wide, and set aside a hundred
and seventv-five of it as a race
track for fools. The present
roads are entirely too narrow tor
slow-going people and the speed
maniacs' at the same time. A
law should be passed to abolish
nil fools or give' them more
rocm.

No.^ Your gallon will not be
held up because the Supreme
Court of the United States handed
down- a decision declaring
V the Webb Kenyon bill constitutional
This decision ..means
nothing tc you until the Stafe
legislature makes it unlawful
for you to order liauor from a
wet state, but when this is done
you are a goner. We shall
write each of our legislators
from this * county asking that
such a law be passed at this
session. Will you write them?

Which is correct peanut, goober,
pinder or ground pea? MrsEdna
V. Funderburk raises the
question in an article elsewhere
in this issue, and refers it to this
column for answer. Well, if we
accept the New International
dictionary as authority, we must
say that peanut is the proper
term, while goober is all right,
and pinder and ground pea appear
below the line of the best
v 1 English. The i'oui wuids aie used
to refer to this popular product,
and neither term can really be
said to be incorrect as all are in
common use and are in the die
tionary. However, peanut seems
to be the better of the four,'and
we shall thank you to pass the
peanuts.
BOLL WEEVIL NEED NOT COME
The farmers of this section
are not to be caught napping
when the boll weevil comes as
evidenced by the contracts signed
here Monday to grow at least
one hundred acres of cantaloupes
and one hundred acres
of watermelons. The Seaboard
experts impressed the farmers
with the importance of growing
other money crops than cotton,
and put the emphasis on melons
and cantaloupes. The railroad
company will furnish the seed
for the first vear. Then buyers
are to be here tQ buy and pay
for the melons when they are
loaded on the cars. Co oncra
tion was the thing stressed most
perhaps. The farmers were advised
to co-operate in every possible
way. A local organization
was advised. And there is some
likelihood that such an organization
will be perfected. The
Seaboad will furnish informa
tion as to the proper methods of
planting, fertilizing, cultivating,
packing and shipping. This
progressive road is taking the
initiative and meeting the farm
. ers more than half way. We
believe the farmers in this sec
niru win not iau 10 see tneir op
portunity and grasp it.
Gone To Georgia.
Messrs. J. W. and Ed Terrv,
Adam Mills, Zeb Smith and
Prof. John Terry lett this morning
in a car for Georgia to spend
a few days. It is * reliably re?
ported that Prof. John borrowed
all the money he could in the
. neighborhood before he started,
his return is considered

Wtbb-Kenyon Prohibition, Bill [
Held Constitutional In Supreme
Court Decision.
Washington, Jan. 8.?In the
most sweeping: of all decisions
upholding: prohibition laws, the
Supreme Court today upheld as
constitutional and valjd the
Webb-Kenyon law prohibittng
shipments of liquor from "wet"
to "dry" States. It also sustained
West Virginia's recent amendment
to her law prohibiting importation
in interstate commerce
of liquor for personal use.
After having*been vetoed by
President Taft, who held it unconstitutional,
and having been
re passed by Congress over his
veto, the law was sustained by
the Supreme Court by a vote of7
to 2. Leaders of the prohibition
movement declare it is to
their fight second only in importance
to the proposed constitutional
amendment.
Lawyers for liquor interests
who heard the decision today
admitted it upheld and applied
the law "in its fullest sense,"
Farmers Fed on Meat and Solid
Facts
Monday was a big day for the
| farmers of this sectioh. The
Seaboard* officials and experts
were here to talk cantaloupes
and w atermelons to the people,
and a big crowd of eager farm
ers were here to hear them.
rThe barbecue furnished bv the
railroad was splendidly prepared,
and was enjoyed by all. The ?
speaking was done near the
public well in the open air, as
the day was unusually fine for
occasion.
Mr. C. Lane, general manager
of the C. & L. greeted the
people and stated the purpose of
the meeting. He stated that the
boll weevil is near at hand, and
that the railroad is ready 1o take
the iniative and serve the people.
Railroads and farmers
must cooperate.
Mr- Prosser, assistant development
agent, \yas glad to see
so manv present. .
farmers are prosperoi^^^^ul
i
iuuus arc prosperous.
Mr. Bagwell, general manager
of the Seaboard, is railroad man,
not speaker. Interested in the
railroad; had improved condi
tions. and would yet make improvements
when possible.
Truck Crops will furnish money
to the farmers when there is no
money in circulation. Prepared
to furnish transportation. Suggests
melon and cantaloupe club.
Hope you will decide to plant
these crops. We shall try to get
the buyers here.
Mr. B. L. Hamner, development
agent; not in railroad ser
vice long; still a farmer. No
profit to farmer if he grows a
bumper crop and can't sell it.
The railroads get their profits
from business furnished by farm,
mine and factory. If you are
not prosperous, the railroads are
not. Plant few acres and your
chances for profits are not worth
five cents but plant more acres,
and the buyers can afford to
come. Plant the same kind of
seed, at the same time, pack in
the same kind of packages and,
the market is ready. People in
Florida made a mint of money
in this way. By co operating
we get your products to market
The boll weevil will come
this year. We have studied
your soil and climate, and be
lieve you should plant watermelons
and cantaloupes. x The
rai'road here now is not paying
expenses, but July and August
truck crops iwill make it pay,
Co operation in your neighborhood
will place you where
nothing can beat you. Plant
one crop, stick to it and "go
broke." Diversify and your
lands will sell for $100 and $l50
an acre.
