Don't pay any attention to what
sqme one tells you what somebody
said about you. If 'he isn't man
enough to tell you so to your face,
he isn t worth wasting time over.
Kingstree Record.
The trouble is so many people tell
you -to your face that they are true
and tried friends and talk entirely
differently to other people. Of course,
the best way is to pay no attention to
it but it would ,be better still that
you were not told about it.
And in the meantime the public is
feverishly awaiting President Taft's
answer to the "What is Whiskey'"
question.-Anderson Mail.
This is an academic question with
us. Sin-ee we don't have any in this
ary country of ours what difference
does it make whether the question is
ever answered. And then when you
and the other prdhibi-tionists stop us
from using tobacco it is hard to tell
what we will do.
Says the Gaffney Ledger: "What a
paradise this world would be if every
body would attend to their own busi
ness and let other folks' business
alone.'' Even so, brother, even so.
But we fear this world will never be
a paradise.--Daily Mail.
The trouble abou.t the whole mat
ter would be that it would throw so
many people ouit of employment.
The Confederate Infirmary in Co
lumbia, or the Old Soldiers' Home,
has now fifty old soldiers in it. Under
the act of the legislature establishing
the home, two were -to be admitted
from each county, which wou-ld have
made eighty-four; 'bere is, therefore,
room for thirty-four more. The Board
of Commissioners have decided that
on Ocetober 1. the Home will be
thrown open to any Confederate vet
eran v ho comes from his county Pen
sion ) ard with his blank application
properly filled out, regardless of the
minimum of two from each coun,ty.
Blank forms will be furnis'hed for
pension boards, oar to old soldiers, on
application to David Cardwell, Chair
man~of the Boa*rd, Columbia. If there
are any Confederate soldiers in this
county who desire to go to the Home,
they may make application as here in
dieasted. So'far as we are informed
there is only one from this county.
We notice from the Greenville and
Anderson papers that the suggestion
to change the schedule on the train
leaving Greenville at 9.30 o'clock for
Colum.bia, so as to have it leave at
6 or 6.30 a. m., does not meet with
their approval. There has been no de
moand on the part of Greenwood for
the "short dog'' running to Green
wood, and if it could get nothing else,
we .are satisfied it would suit Green
-wood better to have this train come
down earlier in the morning and the
other go back later in the afternoon,
and it does seem that a train running
exclusively between Gree'nville and
Anderson ought to satisfy the people
in that section, and that they ought
to be willing to let the train come on
to Greenwood.
Such a change of schedule as we
suggested, we believe, will satisfy a
large majority of the people along the*
line between Columbia and Greenville,
and while it does not give any addi
tional trains, we cannot see how it
could impair the service between
Greenville and Anderson. and we hope
that our friends in Greenville and
Anderson will be willing to take into
consideration the wishes of the pa
trons below Belton.
The extension of the Pullman service
as suggested. to Greenville on the morn
ing and night trains would add very
much to the comfort and conveniencee
of the through travel, and with these
improvemenlts we are sure the people
of this communityv would he satisfied.

The weather continues dry and the
crops are damaged very much, but,
do you know, that if the seasons had
kept up we would have had a bumper
crop in this county, and as it is I do
not believe the crop is going to ,be s
powerfully short. Somehow or other
t'he average farmer has come to be a
powerful complainer and he complains
when it rains and when there is no
.rain. And yet this hot and dry weath
er has damaged the crop very mueh.
-0
You see I was a farmer once my
self, in the long, long ago, but I grew
old, moved to town and now I can only
tell the farmers what to do and what
not to do. I want them to quit so much
complaining. I know they have their
trials and tribulations but they have
less cause to complain than any other
class of our citizens. That is my ob
servation. And yet they do complain
more than any other. Now I want
them to quit. To stand up like men
and be men. Everything depends on
them and they should appreciate the
importance and dignity of their pro
fession.
-0
One thing is pretty sure. We have a
good crop of corn in this county this
year and that means more meat
ihogs, chickens, turkeys. and every
thing good to ea-t.
-o
I notice from the papers that Aome
of these fellows who never plowed a
furrow in their lives are going around
making speeches on farming and tell
ing the people what and how to do.
Next thing they-will be running for of
flee on the platform of the farmers and
the farmers will vote for them instead
of some deserving fellow wiho is really
one of themselves. Well, I reckon it
has always been this way and will
continue to the end.
Now, I want to give a little advice.
The cotton crop is short. Last year
there was a big crop. No surplus to
amount to anything was brought over.
T-he crop this year is sure to be short
-a good deal less than t!he annual
consumption. In fact when this crop
is gathered there will not be enough
cotton jn the world to keep the spin
dles running until the next crop is
made. Apply a little common sense.
Do you think cotton can possibly go
below 12 cents, un-less forced there
by speeulation. Now, you farmers
hold the key to the situation. Don't
sell below 12 cents. The miriimum
fixed by the Farmers Union is 15
ents. I believe it will go there and
certainly would if thbe farmers do
not rush it on the market. But don 't
sell below 12 cents.
-0
I was once a farmer myself and
I sympathize with the farmers. Per
sonally it makes no difference to me
excep.t that I am' interested in seeing
our rural districts build up and the
sccess of the farmers is the way to
do it. We want good roads, good
schools, better churches, then we want
to see the farmer making money. If
'he does the will be willing to help pay
*for these things himself. If he is not
making money he is sour, and disa
greeable and opposed to all progress.
~Success is a great panacea for
many of the ills of human nature. The
man who is succeeding in his business
or his work is always more contented,
and in better humor than the man
who is all the time eramped and can'
meet his obligations promptly. The
farmer in this country can soon, if he
will, be independent and, therefore,
happy and contented.
The Idler would like to be a farm
er. I know how but did not realize
what a great privilege it is to be an
independeut farmer until now I am
too old to start at anything. Then
in my young days there were not the
advantages in country life that there
aie to-day. The telephone puts you in
lose touich with all the world. The
rural delivery of mail gives you the
mail every dey. It is easy, for every
farmer to have water works and elec
tric lights in his house. Wha.t else
could be desired except bet.ter roads.
These will come whether the farmer
'wants them or niot and it is p)ast my
understa nding w'hyv any fa rmer would
oppose any method to secure better
roads. Well, they will come. The truth
is the farmer of this county as a rple
has never been progressive. You know,
I believe that in this county wve could
mae more corn and cotton and every
thing on just half the aer'eage, if we
would cultivate better, and fertilizer
ppe'ly. That would take less labor.
The p otit would. be more.

Tfhe men are not thoughtful enough
of the women any way. The sorriest'
woman is worth a half dozen of the
best men. The women are more un
selfish and self-sacrificing than the
men and the men never stop to think
what these dear women are doing and
what they are denying themselves. I
believe if you could get tihe men to
stop in their mad rush longer to t'bink
they would do a little more towards
providing the comforts and conven
iences so necessary to the average
coun try home.
None of us are as considerate as
we ough.t to be of others. We think
too much of our own measly selves
and give no thought to the feelings
of otthers. We do not consider.

Service-that is the word-unsel

that is what we need more of. ILt would

John Mayes is keeping the Metho
dist lawn in fairly good condition, in
fact I might say, excellent condition.
The Baptist have a good crop of peas
on their lawn, I noticed when I was
out Boundary streets the other day. I'
suppose this is for the purpose of en
rihing the ground preparatory for
grass next spring. Now, if these
churches would .require the sextons to
sweep off the paved walks once or
twice a week-especially Saturday
the appearnace of everything around
the premises would be improved.
The Idler never could tell a joke
very well. Somehow. when I try to
tell a joke T sometimes miss the point,
then it is not very funny. People
ought .so hbe very careful intelling
jokes not to miss the point. Now, take
that joke that the Observer used in
its editorial the other day on "Mis
fortune and Philosophy'' to illust-rate
a point. The joke was apropos, but
I don 't think the Observer got tha.t
joke exactly right. According to the
Dbserver the Irishman fell from a lad

a murmur. "Thank thle L'rd.' a n
