( The patrons, and those living ] pontiguous to the route, should i bestir themselves in the matter I of increasing the number of c pieces of mail handled by the j (carrier of rural route No. 4 from t this place. According to a < communication from the depart- 1 mcnt at Washington to Post- j master Massey the number of J pieces of mail handled on route ( No. 4, is decidedly below the re- t qufrements for a route of its 1 length, and it intimates strongly * that if the people along the?^ route do not show greater intereft in the service it may necessary for the department to reduce .the frequency of the carpier's trips to every other day. s We feel sure that the operation c of route No. 4 has been of great c benefit to those who have been 1 served by the carrier, and for ^ this reason it seems that they \ should be up and doing and not i aljow the trips of the carrier to 1 he reduced to three times a week, and perhaps later have ? ihe route discontinued, for a ' t Jack of apprepiation on their j I part. If each patron would get | f a non-subscriber in his or heri1 I g vicinity to erect a box and take j r several daily or weekly papers , y the route would soon reach the 1 1 point where there would be no 1' danger of its being molested by r the department and the many j natrons would not be deprived i s of the daiiy mail service. Try i 1 this at once, friends. c 3e?f Cattle a Net Profit. I ? There is a by-product of the j t faftto that is just as obvious as j cotton seed, and is r.o-v just as J widely ignored as was cotton Seed forty years ago. This is 1 ^^.-cattLe raising. It is even more j ? ^ than a by-product. It is almost c a necessity. The intelligent' t raising of cattle on the farm in 1 j the cotton region costs less money ! t (though perhaps more conscious : r thought) and produces more re-1 ^ turn than any other one branch j bf the business. It is not alone \ in the market value of the beef :, or dairy products, but it is in the c almost immeasurable value to t cotton lands themselves. The 11 cotton farmer who raises large i ? herds of cattle becomes, in a . j Sense, a manufacturer who us 39 (^ raw material of his own pro-! ? /?? ?? * ,r\T> tmA n ! 7r~ ^ ?nu a. UIUJllCU ! ? ^ .-J-4fc*>clu?4 of high commercial | ^ Value, while the process of manu- i \ facture not only coats him noth- J c ing?except thought?but ac- v tually adds to his resources in ! c the enrichment of his lands, so 11 he can grow more cotton and y produce more beef which en-! ? ables him to grow still more ^ cotton and produce 3till more r beef. V i ? The present commercial value 1 J of cotton seed meal is based on 1 s one of two things, according to i ? the loea'ity, namely (1) the value \ of its nitrogen as a fertilizer, in comparison with the value of g nitrogen in other available fer- t t'dizers chemicals; or (2) the T ^ value of its nitrogen as a feed y Ma stuff in comparison with the t c .'[ value of the nitrogen in other u 9 available feed stuffs. But now EljgLv & the great and comparatively ' f new truth is being discovered j c that, with the proper manipula-1 y tion, the true value of cotton j P seeu meal is not an alternative y > one, but a cumulative one, that ! ( is, its value is made up of the ' t sum of the nitrogen value as a a feed and the nitrogen value as ( fertilizer. Thi3 truth cannot a long remain dormant; but whil$ , r it is dormant to the farmer who! y does not read and study, is the ' jgolden harvest time for the far- j c mer who thinks. When he buys , j a ton of cotton reed meal at its ! t feed valuatiorw say $28 per ton, j ? he should usj this value as a | y, feed, and should save the re-! a sultant manure from the cattle, I / and use the fertilizer value of j the ::.cal, say $28, and thus ^ maite 100 per cent on his invest- t mer.t in meal, and realize as an c incidental profit, all of the beef ? ;or the butter as the case may ; be) which his skill and foresight' <&n produce. ja * ?1 i ? Tne Farmers' Union Cotton r Company, of Texas, has perfect- V. ed arrangement to move a por- j' 4ion of the cotton crop. Liver-J t pool and Bremen financiers, it is . ? said, have agreed to advance $30 } v a oale, the cotton not to be sold ? ^ however, but held on the other (; side for higher prices. $ ^ Some Valuable Advice to Farmers. SPhe following advice to farmers ib from the pen of Col. J. C. Stribling, head of the Farmers' I Union Bureau, which constitutes l department in many of the papers of this State: 'We desire to make it plain bo ill concerned that when we urge carmen to hold their cotton off the market, we are talking to that class of cotton growers who ire in position to do so. In the >ut8et we urged every farmer j x> arrange his debts first, as best; le could, by storing his cotton >r otherwise, and keep all the weak cotton off the market. But low, since New York has cornlined to refuse money to our Southern banks to keep this weak :otton off the market, it seems ;hat those cotton growers who lave placed themselves in such l hazardous position of growing :otton exclusively with which to >uy their living, even down to ;heir daily bread, are in hard uck, and are likely to pay a leavy penalty for not growing .heir home supplies, aud placing heir financial destiny in the lands of a gang of worthless famblers. Boys, come out from mder these robbers and grow rour own supplies.'' The Boy Who Say. "We." Don't laugh at a boy who nagnifies his place. You may see him coming from the post-; >ffice with a big bundle of his miployer's letters, which he dismays with as much pride as hough they were his own. He eels important and looks it. 1 >ut he is proud of his place. He s attending to business. He j ikes to have the world know j hat he is at work for a busy : :oncern. The boy who says' 'we" identifies himself with ' he concern, its interests are his. le sticks up for its credit and , eputation. He takes pleasure ; n ms worK ana nopes to say we j ire in earnest. The boy will eap what he sows if he keeps ( lis grit and sticks to his job. |fou may take off ycur hat to; lim as one of the future solid nen of the town. Let his em)!oyer do the right thing by lim; check him kindly if he ihows signs of being too big for lis place, counsel him as to his labits and associates, and oc-1 :asionally show him a pleasant1 irospect of advancement. A ittle pride does an honest boy j1 l heap of good. Good luck to J he boy who says "we." Life in the German Capital. ?

The shooting was done with a shot gun. fire DroKe out in Mr. Cleveland Dunlap's cotton gin about three miles south of Yorkville Wednesday afternoon, and destroyed about 250 pounds of cotton before it could be extinguished. The fire had its origin from a hot box on the brush wheel. Snow flakes were to be seen in the air during half an hour or more last Tuesday morning, but the snow melted as soon as it came in contact with the ground. There was a heavy fall of snow on November 14, of last year. There was enough of it probably to have covered the ground to a depth of four or five inches, but it was all gone before the next day. It is not to be denied that Sheriff Brown and Constable Sanders have done some good work among the distillers of King's Mountain township of late. In addition to breaking up several stills and making some arrests, they are now in possession of the name and record of practically every violator of the law in the township, and are constantly getting information that will evenrually lead to more captures. The outlook is that the end of the liquor business in King's Mountain township is in sight. Several loans have been made to farmers this week on warehouse certificates.

C. writes: "A little child alone in the world, its bright black eyes filled with tears, came to me held oy the hand of a good woman. Only five years eld, fatherless, motherless, she finds herself after a iong ride on the cars, under the care of "a friendly traveler, at the door of the Orphanage. But poor little thing, she knows nothing of where she is, does not even know the place from which she came, she has her name written on a slip of paper as an introduction, to the kind friends who are hereafter to care for her. She brings a little package under her arms,?it is her all of worldly goods. So it was, only a few weeks ago, but now how different. Tears are dried, She. is opening her bright eyes to the lessons that come to her daily. Falling into the routine of chapel and school and dinner and play, she i3 waking up, her young soul is speaking through lips and fingers and feet and dimpled cheek. Someone now loves the little girl. Someone puts her to sleep at night after her lips have whispered "Our Father." She is finding a home, she is finding herself, she will some day find God." This little child was welcomed to the loving care of the Thornwell Orphanage. Every one of the 250 children in the school that institution have had more or less he same experience. It is true that between them and grim necessity, there is today a strong wall of defence. But the people who love God and little children are that wall. The Orphanage is inder Presbyterian control but ;t is for all orphans. It turns none away because of its father's ; faith. There are 158 ornhans from South Carolina uniler its ;are, 62 from Georgia, 23 from Florida and the rest from ten >ther Southern States. Not one las a living father.
