If you want your town to grow and prosper, wake up, rub your >eyes, roll up your slecvc3 and go to work for it. The boy who saves his money becomes the banker, the merchant, the professional man. The boy who never saves a cent makes the man who "earns his bread by the sweat of his brow," who never owns a home or enjoys the luxuries of life. n The man who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up, was a brother to the man who kepi a store and wouldn't advertise because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place of business, when it wanted something. People frequently inquire of the editor where we received our information concerning such and such a person, also who wrote this article or that. To impart information along this line is against the rules of the newspaper office and our friends and patrons will please bear this in mind and not annoy us with inquiries. We always stand ready trt f*r?rr*?rt u wmn?r rw* mi .--if ment. There arc 800,000 miles of telegraph and telephone lines in this country at the present time which requires 32.000,000 poles. A pole lasts on an average, twelve years and is made from a tree sixty years old. To maintain a continuous supply five times as many trees must be growing in the forest as there are poles in use. Experiments are being made which if successful will very materially add to the length of the life of a pole. * After reading this issue send it to your friend in the distance; <tr better yet, call at the office and send it to your friend or relative for six months or a year, for you ca,n expect just such a paper as this for fiftv-two weeks in the next year. Throw in your mite toward placing our city and county where they belong upon the map. This paper will do impart; ( you do yours. Farms in our country continue to sell at very good prices. Real ^ i. a... - ? 1 ?_-nv<in.c men rcpurt plenty 01 ouyers, but the list of farms on tlie market for sale grow smaller and it is more difficult now than formally to find suitable farm property that can be bought cheap. Our land has not yet reached the top price is the opinion of well posted men. * Some of our boys seem to have the gymnazium craze. That is right and proper, but after all the /cheapest and best gymnazium in the world one that will exercise every bone and muscle in the body ? is a Hat piece of steel, notched on one side, fitted tightly into a _? 1 i ? woooen rrame, and, alter being greased on both sides with a bacon rind,rubbed into a stick of wood lengthwise on a sawbuck. If you are superstitious about the number 13 you had better give us your quarter dollars, for on each one are 13 stars. 13 letters in the scroll of the eagle's beak 13 leaves on the olive branch. 13 arrow heads and 13 letters in the words "quarter dollar." Now its not safe to keep them so just bring them in and get credit on your subscription for the full V k amount. N \ *mm \ A merciful man is merciful to his beasts. We like to see our [ farmers when they drive into town a cold stormy day, put their team in a barn or cover them \ with blankets. In the heat of the summer they can always find ,, shade in which to leave the noble animals that brought them sately to town. There are many, however, who on cold days will rush for a stove themselves and leave their horses in the storm while i(i the heat of summer they seek R* the shade and leave the horses in the sun. There is something wrong about the man who thus ayuses his team. He may be a | . nice man, may belong to the church, may not swear, smoke Ih .ftor have any bad habits, but. we IHK^1 to be his horse. , XV' ' V* ' mmm maw .?

The York county -Democratic 'convention met Monday in the (court house at Yorkville and, elected members to the State convention which is to be held at Columbia on Ma> 1G. County Chairman Crice called the meeting: to order, and Col. W. W. Lewis and J. R. Haile* were nominated for temporary chairman. Col. Lewis was I elected. C. V/. F. Spencer was elected secretary. i Messrs. J. R. ITaile and W. H. j Stewart rose to a point of personal privilege and denounced as untrue the published reports j that they had made efforts to control the convention. After the committee on credentials had reported, J. S. Brice ! moved to make the temporary organization permanent. W. H. Stewart was then nominated for chairman, but was defeated by Col. Lewis. Mr. Spencer was made secretary. Col. Lewis made I and ideal chairman. The voting was done viva voce. For county chairman T. F. ; McDow nominated J. S. Brice and J. B. Haile nominated W. H. i Stewart. Senator Brice was | elected by a vote of GO to 1*2. The following were elected to State convention: Delegates, Perry Ferguson, J. M. Barron, J. P. Blair, W. S. Wilkerson, F. 11. Barber, J. F. Williams, P. M. Burrs, D. M. Hall. J. S. Brice; alternates, J. D. Ratterreo, O. L. Sanders, 0. J. Gwinn, J. H. Saye, J. E. Massey, Sr. J. W. Simril, S, H. Epps, Sr., ! J. E. Burns, T. F. McDow; at large, W. B. Wilson, dr., alternate. T. M. Allen. Delegation was allowed to fill vacancies. For member of the State executive committee F, H. Barber and J. C. Wilborn were nominated, and Mr. Barber was elected by a hunikmno miiini?itv A resolution was offered by ! Mr. C. T. Crook, of Fort Mill, , endorsing1 the course of Senator [Tillman and pledging the support I of this convention in the ap-, proaching campaign. Uj)on motion of Thos. F. McDow this was tabled by a vote of 50 to 40. The meeting was a pleasant one, but showed clearly that Tillmanism and the dispensary will bo the 1 issues this summer and that both factions will exert every effort : to win. Convention Notes. * While some of the delegations were not full, a good crowd was present, considering the weather. The move to strike Mr. Crook's endorsement of Tillman from the convention record didn't work. Its adoption was de' feated by a majority of only ; 4 votes. The York senator didn't exactly weep over it, but his expression of grief at the antagonism which had been created by his "course" was something of the sympaj thetic. How about the Fort Mill delegation? Pretty solid, don't you think? It has been hinted around that a certain "gentleman of the bar" kinder flunked. Some people are sorely in need S of stickability, or grit, upon such occasions. Pretty stiff jab at a certain newspaper, but as no resentment ! was offered, let's have it that the nublisher was m?t m*p?nnt , I * * Of course, there were a few rusty axes on hand. It must be agreed that oppo' sition to Senator Brice is growing throughout the county. Evidence the chairmanship vote of 11)04 and that of Monday. Pretty big loss in two years. The landslide is due in 1908. . Nope! Not exactly prohibition | liquor, but a fairly good substi| tute for a prohibition town. Yes, the old gentleman appeared a little giddy-headed, but then, we must all respect old age and childishness. "Uncle Jim Cansler" could hardly have missed such an opportunity of telling his friends how he would make his opponents ! smoke in his race for railroad commissioner.

Ragin of Columbia, who ] announces for secretary of state 1 along with Representative M. P. , Tribble, of Anderson, and J. E. J Norment, the governor's private j secretary. Mr. Ragin served I several years as state senator i from Ciarer.don and was later '1 chief clerk in the secretary of j state's office under Col. D. H. > Tvnnpkins, who before that serve- I ed as Governor Tillman's private ! secretary. In response to a number of in- ! quirios, Hon. M. L. Smith of j Camden has announced definitely | and positively that he will be a candidate for governor. What' his platform will be has not been ! announced, but in the last session of the general assembly Mr. I Smith voted for the preservation of the State dispensary, and if it* ni*nonrv\/wl f U #? f Iwv ?im1I Ua n iv to pi vouiucu mai nc win uc ?i | dispensary candidate. In county politics, it is under- , stood that Hon. E. E. Thornvvell i will oppose L. W. Jenkins for election as county superintendent, of education. Religious Advantages at Clcmson. Editor Times:- The impression seems to be prevalent among' some people that life in a State ! school is necessarily more lax as regards religious observance | and teaching than in those insti- ; : tutions under church or denomi national control. We are not nrenared to speak for other State institutions, but this condition i does not exist at Clemson. Here the spiritual side of life, as well ! rs the mental and physical, receive attention. i The Young Men's Christian Association has the largest membership and is the best organized , college association in the State, and is the only one in the State, I and one of the few in the South, f that employs a general secretary 1 who devotes his whole time to! i the moral and spiritual welfare i of the student body. The association has a well furnished hall of its own, in which two public i meetings are held each week. This is a prayer meeting every Thursday evening, and the regular Sunday evening service, led usually by a member of the faculty, by a visiting minister, and by others. Bible study is now the most prominent feature. A four years course of systematic study is offered, and there are now about 22~> students doing this study aside from their regular work. These students are divided into about 20 groups, under the leadership of some member of the group. Ten or twelve delegates go each year to the student conference at Asheville, whence they bring back energy and inspiration for the association. Seven delegates were sent to t narieston this year, and eight j to the Student Volunteer Con- : vent ion at Nashville. Siocial life is made much hrghter by association interest, A reception is always given a short time after school opens to the new students and members < of the faculty to welcome them to the home life of Clemson. Other receptions are given during the year, which prove veritable oases in the life of a student at a military college. At the last reception attended by the writer the following colloquy was overheard. "I never saw so much cake in one place." Another re-; plied. "No, and I never put so much in one place." Aside from the work of the Y. M. C. A. is a flourishing I Sunday School with an average ; , attendance of about 2(X). There j j is preaching in the college chapel I every Sunday morning by the | very best ministers of all denominations, and all students are ; required to attend this service. -1 i Iiwc arc U1JSO LWO cnurdlCS Oil the campus?a Presbyserian and j an Episcopal?where large num- 1 I bers of students attend services on Sunday afternoons. j I I have given these few facts i to correct a false impression that may exist in the minds of some, and to sohw that Clemson students are surrounded by in-1 Huences that are calculated to', implant in the minds of each one, 1 that the highest type of man- | hood is Christian manhood. As j a result of these uplifting in- . Huences, mrnv will go forth j trained and equipped to war j against all forms of unrighteous- \ ness. S. E. B. Col. Leroy Springs, of Lancas- s ter. was a few days ago elected 1 a trustee of the Mutual Life In-, surance Company at a meeting 1 held in New York City. j 1 ^ Flans For Connnj Reunion. Plans for the entertaimcnt of I the reunion visitors are going right ahead and the committees j reporting to Secretary Clark an-! nounce that all of the visitors will i be properly cared for if the people of Columbia respond as they have been doing. Mr. N. O. Fyles is making an active canvass L>f the city and so far has been unusually successful, but every j residence in the city will be i visited and a definite answer secured as to the number to be i taken and the names of all ' guests within the next two weeks, i There is going to he a great j agitation this year among the merchants for more decorations. The streets wiil be brilliantly | illumined and every merchant on i Main street will he asked to decorate the stores lavishly. The city, beautiful as't in May. would be especially pretty with Main street covered with hunting and the Confederate colors. A committee for this purpose has been appointed and the matter will he taken nr> with t hem in u few days in order that the merchants can be seen early and promises can be gotten from each as to the decorations. The addresses of welcome on Wednesday, the opening day of the reunion, will be delivered by Gov. Heyward, Mayor Gibbs and Mr. W. A. Clark, the presi- j dent of the Chamber of Commerce. These will be responded to by Gen. Carwile, the com-; mander in charge of this division, and a number of others whose i names have not yet been selected.?The State. Crop Repcrts are Denounced. After denouncing the government crop reports and more particularly the reports of the department of agriculture. and passing a resolution advocating that the statistical cotton year should run from August 1, to August 1, instead of September 1, to September l, the international confer ence at Washington adjourned Thursday to reassemble next year should it be advisable to do so. The delegates were not clothed with sufficient power to effect a permanent organization. When the subject of govern-1 ment crop reports came up. Pros- j ident McColl spoke in commenda-! tion of the census bureau work, but felt that some radical changes I in the methods of the agricultu- i ral department should be made. President Harvc y Jordan of the: Southern Cotton Association also commended some of the features j of the government reports, bu numerous other delegates strongly condemned them. I). A. Tompkins of Charlotte as "a complica-; ted system of guessing." while another southern grower denounced them as "speculative football." President McColl expressed tho hope that henceforth there will be a closer bond of union "between the north and south, and between America and Europe in all that pertains to cotton grow ing and manufacturing. Another topic of discussion was the marketing of the product which embraced the questions of warehousing stability of price and relations between growers and manufacture re. Gold Hill. From the rain Monday it seems that "General Green" will soon get the upper hand of the farmers but our farmers are very energetic and will try to overcome him. The infant of Mr. Sam Blankenship was dangerously ill the latter part of last week Mr. Walter Hoover's child is also very sick -Mr. W. H. Crook had a very sick child last week hut it is better. Mrs. T. M. Faris spent a few days last week with her son, Mr. S. C. Faris. Miss Eliza Prather visited many families of this community last week P?,r l < ' l jw>. #*. v. v iiauuici r?|JC"iit Olllld.ny night and Monday in this section. Miss Bculah and Mr. ("rook Faris spent Saturday in Rock Hill on business. A greater part of the young people of Gold Hjll spent a vcr> pleasant day Saturday on a fishing excursion on the banks of the beautiful Catawba river. They met with poor success in fishing but employed their time in other sports. They spread a fine dinner, they bad no need of fish. This was a day that was much enjoyed and will be remembered by all present. A , number of young people were entertained by Misses Ona wid Maude Windle Saturday Plight. The " second quarterly conference will meet at Philadelphia Methodist chnreh, on the 19th J and 20th of this month. Mr. Stackhouse will be present and they hope to have a full attendance.
