The splendid vote, which you gave me will make me a j member of the next General Assem-! bly from -this county; and I appre- j ciaite the Honor more than I can express here. I I made a clean fight and have no j - ' : ' ' - : A ' f" ' I unpleasant feelings coming out of the campaign. I made but the one prcrpise: to perform my duty as best I could in the interest of the people of Lexington county and the state at large. I renew that promise now. But there will be many things that I O"; would like to see done which will not be. done; but you must bear in mind that th^ three men whom you1 have nominated will be but a small portion of the membership of the legis tatlire. < To those voters who did not cast their ballot for me, I have none but the kindliest feeling. I had my own choice,of candidates, and I grant you ths same right that I hold for myself. After I have taken the oath of office and thus become a public servant, I ahall direct all of my energies to the best interest of the public good?including friends and political opponents. ; Again thanking my friends for their loyal'support and.the very fine vote, . I am r ' Very gratefully, \ CYRUS L?. SHEALY. Aug. 31, 1922. ENJOYMENT AT HOME. : . ! Home and' heaven are . not so far separated as we sometimes think. They are not separated at all, for they are both in the same great building. 1 ft Home is the lower story, and is located down here on the ground floor; heaven is up stairs, in the second and tfurd stories. As one after another of- the family is called to "come up higher," that which seems to be such a strange place begins to wear a famllar aspect; and when the last one is left below, the home is transferred to heaven and heaven .s home. Don't shut up your house, lest the sun should fade your carpets and your ? hearts, lest* a merry laugh should shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there. If you want :o ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshhold without when they come home at night. When once a home is regarded as only s place to eat, drink, and sleep in, the votfk has tegun that ends in endless degrada$ t\on. Young people must have fun and re&xation somewhere; if they don't h&ve it at their own hearth stones, it will be sought at other and perhaps less profitable places. Thretore, let the fire burn brightly at night, and make the homestead delightful with all those little arts so perfectly understood. Don't repress the buoyant spirit of your children. Half an hour ci merriment around the lamp and firelight of a home blots out many a care ar.d Kerosir Caughman & Lexington, S< annoyance during the day; and the best safeguard they can take with 'them into the world is the unseen influence of a bright little domestic circle. Home is the bulwark of American happiness. Put home first and foremost, . and you will give your children a good heritage in their minds and character: for there will come a time v hen the home circle will be broken: when you will "long for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still.'7?Durham Herald. I +*** * ? FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN. Cooperation between farmers and business men is a very much discussed subject at this time and in this connection we quote the following paragraphs from a recent address of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace before the l-toston Chamber of Commerce: "Turning now to the future. When we emerge from this period of economic disorder and confusion both at home and abroad we shall find ourselves at the beginning of a' new era in our national life. We have grown rapidly and without conscious plan in a large way, either industrial or agri cultural. Tfte past one nuuureu years have been years of exploitation and promotion. We have used our natural resourcs, including the stored up fertility of our soil, without due thought of the future. "We have glorified in the individual initiative of our people. That was all very well, if not altogether wise, during the years of development, but from this time forward a different policy must be followed if we are to grow into a symmetrical nation with a prosperous agricultural, industrial and commercial life, and with such standards of living for the individual and family as we ha\ e long considered hefcessary to the development of a worthy citizenship. "In short, we have come to " the time when teamwork is needed; yes, imperative. There must be sympathy, undertsanding and cooperation between agriculture, industry, and business. . They are dependent upon one another. They are alike necessary to a (Well rounded national life. They must work together for the good of all." The whole world depends upon the cultivation of the soil?its great purpose is to carry on the machinery of business. Therefore, the whole world is interested in every movement for 'the advancement of agriculture'-; Xo man is so high as to be independent of this great industry; no man is so low as not to be affected by its prosperity or decline.?Farming The Business Magazine. rmring state fair HAS MANY FEATURES.

Greenville, Aug. 2S.?Fire originating in the shaving shed of the Shamow Spool company, formerly known as the Greenville Spool and Manufacturing company, on Rhett street, shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon destroyed this plant and building as well as the building across the railroad occupied by the Cyclone Traffic routes, entailing a loss estimated at about $1 00,000.

"Washington, Aug. 2S.?Federal \ control of coal prices and of distribu- ' tion of fuel by volunteer organization stopped today. pending passage of emergency legislation by congress. Expiration of the lair price agreeI ments with non-union coal operator: effective today was announced bv Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer, who said the various districts and general committees of the emergency fuel organization will cease to func tion next Saturday. I "The agreement as to price restraint with the non-union operators." 'Mr. Spencer said, "expires today with the resumption of the union bituminous mines. About 70 per cent, of tfce operators have held to this agreement, and it is felt that the public has been saved a very large sum. "Pending the action of congress and 'the state authorities the only restraint upon price is the schedule of tair I prices declared by governors or by state coal commissioners in some or the states, to which it is earnestly hoped the operators and dealers will | conform. These prices are about $4.50 a ton maximum in the Kentucky, Tennessee. West Virginia and Virginia fields. $3.75 for Pennsylvania thick vein and $4.75 for thin vein. Standards have not yet been set in other states. "The legislation before congress can only control the price of coal moving over state lines, that is interstate commerce. The price of coal . produced and consumed in a state, together with the charges which wholesalers and retailers within the state may make, the latter including ever interstate coal, should be controlled by the state authorities. There can be no real control of profiteering unless the state authorities act." Except to the upper lake sections. 'Mr. Spencer stated, no more coal will be directed to different states under ,-emergency priority orders of class 1, -unless a situation arises which warrants such forced measures. A new plan for the fuel relief of the Northwest is in the process of formation by the interstate commerce commission and the fuel distribution committees, which is to be announced shortly. ' Rapid resumption of production in 1 the various bituminous fields, as shown by geological survey estimates. Mr. Spencer said, indicated a pro'duction of 8,000,000 tons this week as compared with <},400,000 tons last week. AT AMICK'S FERRY. v" .V ?'
