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

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."

A negro named Alec Massey
was committed to jail by Coroner
Louthian on Monday for killing
another negro named Davidson
on Mr. W. S. Percival's place in
Bethesda township. The difficulty
was about a woman. Massey
claims self-defense. 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. The script
money of the Ranker's Association
of Yorkville, is circulating
freely along with the currency of
the United States.

A very painful accident befell
Mr. B. F. Merritt, who lives near
the city, one day last week.
While plowing with a three-horse
disc plow the machine hit an obstruction,
throwing him from the
seat. One wheel passed over his
right arm, breaking it at the
wrist. He is getting along very
nicely.

Shall These Orphans Have a Thanksgiving
Offering?
Dr. Jacobs of the Thornwell
Orphanage, Clinton, S. 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.

The Coming Election.
The Fort Mill correspondent of
! The State writes that paper as
follows concerning the municipal
election which will be held here
i the second Tuesday in January,
next:
j The charter under which the
j town of Fort Mill has been oper-1
' ating for a generation or morel
! expires within a few weeks and j
thereafter the affairs of the towr ,
! will be conducted under a new |
1 charter provided by the general j
; laws of the State for towns of i
from 1,000 to 5,000 inhabitants.
I Tins fact is len ling additional inS
terest to the selection of the next
j council, which is to be elected
! early in January. Under the
! new charter the tax levy will
; doubtless be increased and the
; personnel of the council will theroj
fore be a matter of even more
I moment to the voters than has
| been the case in the past. The
! friends of several well known
! gentlemen are already bestirring |
| themselves in their behalf H3j
possible candidates for the town's
| first mayor and the race now:
; promises to be interesingand ex-J
(citing. The election of an in-(
! tendant has for years been to j
. many a very important matter in j
Fort Mill, more important indeed
i than the election oi' Si/ite or na-.
: tional officers. Men go to the}
I polls to vote in the municipal >
j election and display the greatest
1 interest in the outcome who pass
along other and more importa '
' elections with the greatest indit,
fercnce. This is due largely to t
the fact that there i4* and has j
for years been two factions :;i
| town politics, with enthusiastic!
; partisans on both sides to work I
up interest and feeling. The!
J election in January promises to j
; be no exception to the rule. The j
gentlemen being urged to makt j
the race for mayor are Messrs. ,
J. R. Haile, W. B. Ardrey and
; Dr. J. L. Spratt.
