A handy and convenient way of paying debts without money would lie if really appreciated by many people. %*v No M'.'m who is ashamed to act as motor to a baby cart iage lias any business to butt into the matrimonial game. The business man who talks to j the leaders of a newspaper as he tnlks to the the customers in his store is the one who wins. If the words, "1 se me tight." 1 were branded on the side of each ; hoise they own, we tvlieve some I people would have much better1 looking teams. I "Men who sIhv at homo every J night are not good for anything.v says Dr dn!ia H Smith. We don't know who Mrs Smith is, but hurrah for her anyway. %,V .Give us the farmer who looks up, now and then, to see what in going op in the world about him. { Living is not nil in bending the back oyer the hoe or in growing j good crops. Life is more thai, a , living. We seo flint n New York lady j claims that her husband, wluiso' salary is only $1 u week, has be^n ' leading n double lift' and support* j inn two families. There is a fiuan- | einl expert who sci-iuh to have them all bt uteli. Talk about race suicide. Why i does not the government tax the bachelors'and those who are mar- | lied and do not have children and give each mother who gives birth j to a child a certain some of money V It might do sonio good. %% A professor has discovered among some ancient ruins what is supposed lo lie the eleventh commandment. The text of it is as follows:; 'Emus rof ylipmorp tseyap uoht: see Inn lepapswcti a dam ton tlahs ! uoht." The coininandincMit is eas j ily translated by begining at the, end of the sentence and reading backward. The time-worn expression "the poor farmer" has come to be one of the standing jokes. The fact is 1 the farmer is no longer poor. Kv- l ery town of 1000 or more through- ! out the country now lias at least one bank and the bulk oT money on deposit belongs to the fanners.! The deqosits are large too. Few banks even of small capital carry less than $.">0,000 on their daily : i) linnet's unci many have two and threw limes that ainunnt. . During each session of the Wisconsin legislature all tlio newspapers send out Hupplemon's of from 10 t?? 150 p igey. Funder a recent statute, tho laws enacted tit each session of the legislature are pub- \ lished in every paper in the State whose publisher is willing to per- : form that service for $100. Few decline, and thus there goes a copy of the session laws into nearly ev- | ery home. The Wisconsin plan certainly makes iguuiaueo of the j law its inexcusable morally as legally. We hope that the time is not far distant when the commissioners of Yoik and L<aiicaster cr?nn-j ties will get together and build mi iron bridge oyer Sugar Creel',, east of this place. A good iron bridge mi n convenient point between the j present Bailee' u:kI and Barber's bridges could, it seems to iih, be , used by travelers on both the Bar- 1 borsvilleand Pleasant Valley roads and the cost of erection would not | t>e great to either county, Ilttough i money lias already been spent on these bridges to build one of iron or steel that would last for yoafs. | These are fast times. Some one with a poetical turn has written: VMary had a little lamb; that time lias passed away. No lamb could follow up the gait that Mary goes today. For now she lides on airshod wheels, in skirts too short by half; no Jambkiu shares her airy til ght, but yoti can see her calf, fs there a malt who can complain or pry in woe,'Alas!'ho long an Mary's gad's all right the lamb can go to grtttyn. So ail the men delight to gaze, their joy ih not a sham, for while the ullior critter's out, they fcave no iu?e for lainb.'' Mlljll THE MAGAZINE "FRAUD " A number ??F "our eon teni porn ries, untidily the t 'Iiost?-rljt*Ui Advertiser and (he Charlotte Chronicle, have found it worth (Tie while to ronst the publishers of snipe of the weekly papers for sending out with their reuulur issues n k lie section," or supplement, furnished free l>v ft Northern concern. The editor of the Advertiser claims to have discovered I ho "negro in the woodpile," and says that ;t is tho purpose of the publishers to broadcast these supplements over the country in order to induce the lTuited Slates gov, eminent to furnish lame sums of money to certain individuals for the purpose of irrigating certain farming lands in the far West. The Times Iimh lit on sending out those supplements for souie lime 1 and, so far us learned, our readers , are well pleased with tin in. As to the scheme, we have paid no particular attention to the supplement articles bearing on the subject of iriigation, but it it will aid maternally in the development and upj building of the West, and the government will place the money in tlie hands of good, reliable njen to be used solely for, the purpose named, we find little fault with the gvoposil i >ii. liut The Chronicle finds nnolher fault with the supplements. It intimates that the publisheis also got a rake-oll* by the insertion of advertising in the sheets, which, in reality, is in competition with the papers using them. It is agreed that there is some adveiUsing inserted in these supplements, but i? must also be agreed that it is of a kitit 1 that is clean and readable and represents concerns who rarely advertise in the weekly papers. Hence, it is not clear to us where the competition or fraud comes in. Indeed, it is a little straxjgo that The Chronicle finds this fault with the supplements, when light in he own town a concern has for years been furnishing ready-print sheets f-r numerous weea lit s and inserting in a niujuiity of them from ."it) to 100 inches of patent medicine and other objectionable advertising. And the Charlotte concorn does not furnish the sheets free, either, but charge anywhere from six to 12 cents a tjuiit for them. Now, i* HI l y - - u x ut* eaijronine can s<--> fraud in the advertising feature of tin* nia^H'/.'.no supplements, we would like for it to take a glance at some of the sheets. The 'l imes, for instance. which are sent out from its Inline city, and tell us what it lindu there. AN CXCF.I LI NT SHOWING The value of having capable and energetic management I >r a pnhlie institution is forcibly deni'mstrnted hi the statement of the Savinge llank. which has just ended one of the most successful years since its orj.raniv.ation. Willi a capital stock of ?15,1)0.) this hank is now carrying a deposit of Jr(i5.000, and the iuti io->ting part of it is that the hulk of this amount belongs to individuals, principally the farmers of the community. As compared with last year, the deposits show an increase of $11,(iOt.'.h! Another interesting fac is that the. hank has recently declared an annual dividend of ten par cent, besides having undivided profits representing seven per cent on its capital stock, making a t?.>"tal profit of 17 per cent for tinyear. This is indeed an excellent showing ? oiio which, perhaps, has liot been equalled l?y any bunking house in tlit* State. ? WANTED - MORE DWELLINGS. For several years The Times lias been hammering away at the land owners of the town to build more dwelling houses, and we don't propose to let up in the matter until ilit* demand has been at least partially supplied. It is true that a threat many now houses havt gone up in the past two or three years, but not near so many as are needed. The present demand for dwellings hero is greater than ever hefore, and yet the people who own lots do liot seem to 1 ah/.e that it is to their interests to build houses to rent. The argument is advaneed that the rentals will not pay a fair per cen'.ago on the in vesimenis, H'lU litis i> Into if the fabulous pncea at which the lots are held is considered, ihp thou, iT these lots icum ii alio tlicy pay nothing. Hence, it would be bolter, it seems, to eot a small per cent and see the town build up and properly values increase than to net nothing and ket p the town at a standstill, Kvery growing town in the Stale offers inducements to pco pie to build, and when such is Hie case, progress is inevuthle. Fort .Mill has every advantage t > become a good, big town ?health, location, water, etc. but so long as there are no houses here to offer those i Br-.3E ii i. ,n !<!* < wishing to come hfrn 'fftt Must ; necessarily depend upon ffj? uutu(*4? 1 increase among ourselves, ? | Mr Kail Bound Over to Churl ?r A Salisbury special of. tl?o 3rd to | tin* Charlotte (>bserver| says that Grovor O.
