There are many striking examples of the value of good roads. Wherever roads have been permanently improved it is found that there has been a very great increase in value of the adjacent property. The commencement programs of two of the State colleges, Winthrop and Clemson, have reached this office and each bears the imprint of a Richmond printery. This is helping home industry with a vim - we don't think. One of the unsolved problems of farm-life is why in the fall the cropper will sell his share of corn to theland-ower at 60 orJ5 cents per bushel and the following spring buy the same corn at a price which allows the landowner a profit of 50 or 60 cents per bushel. Report all items of interest to this office. They will be appreciated and each item will help to make the paper that much more interesting. We can not get all the news but by your help we can get the lion's share and that is what we wish to do. We Ant all tKo rou's Vint' is npws. nam an vuv uvnw Read the announcements of your merchants in this issue. Many a dollar has been saved by a careful perusal of a merchant's ad. When a business man advertises for your patronage he * i- it.i not only has a line 01 gooas mat "speaks" but there may be some article or articles listed that you desire and that it may be advantageous to buy at this time. Bless the man who is to a reasonable amount, uneasy as he owes a dollar. If you are j at some time compelled by unavoidable circumstances to request your merchant to extend your credit for a time, in making your applicat'on to him for it, don't tell him ycu will pay the first of the month when, in your opinion, it will be the tenth before you will meet the obligation. South Carolina has jumped from twenty-first to thirteenth State in the tfnion in point of wealth produced on her farms in 1910, this fact being made known in a bulletin just issued by the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The Palmetto State's gain was $140,009,000 or 28.4 per cent. Texas now has first place, having wrested the honor away from Illinois. That Fort Mill is a live town is easy of demonstation. More business is done here now at this time of the year than has been done in the past. We are not desirous of having the public think we are suffering from a honm. We are enioving an in crease of business and prosperity. Our streets are crowded early and late, people and teams are bringing in produce and money to exchange for goods, our merchants are paying the highest market prices for produce and are selling goods at live and let live prices. The people are not slow to take advantage of this opportunity and get the bargains as advertised by our merchants. There is an alarming increase in the use of alcoholic liquors in the United States, according to the temperance committee's report to the Presbyterian general assembly. The per capita drink bill in the year liUU was ^4. n. Multiplying this by 4.6, tlie size of the American private family, according to the census of 1900 (the estimate for the census of 1910 not yet being available), we we have $111.18 as the annual drink bill of the average American family. Under the caption, "Cost of Curse, "the report gives a summary of the amount of liquor consumed during the last year, placing its total cost to consumers at $2,256,324,447. Patrons of rural routes should not request the carriers to deliver packages outside of the mails. The carriers, no matter how accommodating they may wish to be, are prohibited from performing such favors by this section of the postal law: "Postmasters at rural delivery offices are directed to inform rural carriers that they must not carry, as express matter, for hire, or as a' favor any article weighing four pounds or under, which is mailable, and carriers will inform their patrons that such packages can only be delivered by them after the required postage has been] affixed to such packages." j * . ^ ? >'v THE FARMER S BOY. At a meeting of the presidents of twenty of the nation's largest corporations held in New York the other day it was a matter of comment that of those present twelve were "farmer's boys." When the youngster at home on the farm gets "the blues" and fancies that there is no longer the chance that there used to be to rise above the monotony and drudgery of a tiller of the soil, he can think of those twelve captains of industry who started as he is starting and remember that when they were boys there were j times when they too imagined that it was a hopeless ambition to aspire to win their way to the i front in the city. He wants to remember that the farm has evolved some of the world's greatest men and some of its most conspicuously useful ones ! and that with the increasing ac-! ' tivitips of the nation in all direc-1 1 tions there is- now, more than ever, room at the top for the ex| ceptional man. In the contemplation of the , stirring achievements of the far; mer's boy, past and present, if he has imagination and soul he will find helpful inspiration, when the day seems dark and the future full of gloom. Let him recollectas the world surely does?that it 1 was the farm that gave us Abraham Lincoln, one of the world's most majestic figures; that it gave us Andrew Jackson, Millard Fillmore, the martyred Garfield, Horace Greeley, Sir Isaac Newton and Brillian Carlyle. It was a farmer's son, Eli Whitney, who created the cotton gin, which j ! laid the foundation for the growth of the cotton industry, now worth $900,000,000 a year to ] the United States and a farmer's boy, Elias Howe, who emancipated womanhood from the slav! ery of the kneedle by inventing the sewing machine. Long be1 fore Robert Fulton sailed his I steamboat, the Clermont, up the Hudson, John Fitch, the ingenious prouuct of a Pennsylvania - > i -. J i L _ i _ I I iarm aemonsiraieu mat a uuai ! could be pn pi lied by steam by equipping a skiff with an engine i ! and sailing his craft up the Delaware with its aid. Another brainy farmer's bov, Oliver Evans, sometimes called the Watt of America, was the first to build and operate a locomotive in the United States. Cyrus McCor-, mick, inventor of the reaper, the whir of which is today heard 'round the earth, was the modest son of an ordinary Illinois farmer. The first machine to make tacks was the creation of a Massachusetts farm lad, Thomas Blanchard, and the device that furnished the world with the modern screw was the work of a poor T T - * rn\ Vermont gen us, inomas jiaivey, a quiet, thoughtful larmer's ; son. To the resourcefulness of an Ohio farm lad, Charles F. Brush, who invented the dynamo, the world is indebted for its present-day great industrial and power plants that give employment to millions of hands. Thomas A. Edison, most brilliant of the world's inventors, sponsor for the electric light, the phonograph and a hundred other de-, vices, was the son of a poor farm laborer. K. M. Turner, inventor of the acousticon, the dictograph | and the interior telephone bearI ing his name, now universally used, when not engaged on his father's Indiana farm, used to hire himselt out to neighboring farmers at 25 cents a day seeding corn, at which he was acclaimed an expert. From a Wisconsin farm came C. L. Sholes, the inventor of the typewriter, which revolutionized the business methods of the world. Where service is the only credential that commands recognition and a man's ability must square with his responsibility, the "farmer's boy" who has| harkened to the call of the big city will be found today in the i front rank of the world's useful workers in every large city on the face of the earth.

Not in many years have so many pine trees died in this community, supposedly from the work of the pine bark beetle, as during the past fall and winter. In places great patches of the dead, trees have been cut and removed in the hope of stopping the ravages of the beetle, but the trees continue to die and the owners of timber land are becoming very apprehensive of the final result. The pine bark beetle is so insignificant in size as to be hardly noticeable. It measures a little more than onetwelfth of an inch wide by just above one-sixth of an inch long, or it is about the size of the tiny "fire-gnat," so-called, that sometimes gets into one's eyes on summer afternoons. But the pine bark beetle, despite its diminutive size, is an impressive and formidable antagonist. One outbreak in the State of West Virginia, in the year 1891, destroyed a million and a half dol* t* x_ t_i _ i.: lars 01 marKeiauie pine umuei, besides an immense amount of timber too small for saw-logs. The insect begins to merge from winter quarters from March to May, and its presence may be detected at first by the yellowing of the pine needles. Examination will show that a number of holes are driven into the bark and these holes are the size of holes made by No. 8 shot. In the crevices of the bark will be seen round masses of pitch at intervals, where the tree has bled. On removing the outer mark tiny legless larvae will be seen, appearing like tiny worms, with an occasional chocolate or coffeecolored beetle also. The insects are feeding on the cambium or inner bark of the tree. "Sawyers," as the larvae of round-hole and fiatheaded borers are called, may be present also, but they have no relation to the beetle and have merely entered because the tree has been wounded. The pine bark beetle attacks sound trees as well as wounded ones, large and small with equal avidity. However, it is comforting to know that the pine bark beetle may be controlled and its work suppressed, provided energetic measures are put in. The remedy is to cut down and remove all attacked trees as soon as the trouble is located. It is of no j use to remove dead trees; the pine bark beetle never enters a dead tree, even to spend the winter. I his Negro^ias Smallpox. Man Perry, a negro man living in the negro settlement known j as "Paradise," has a genuine case of smallpox, according to the diagnosis made Monday by the physicians of the town. As! soon as the nature of Perry's case became known be was placed ; under quarantine. The negro J had been confined to his home i for sometime before a physician | was called and as very few had been in to see him it is not thought that a spread of the disease will follow. Perry has no idea where he contracted the disease unless it was in Charlotte, where he went on a visit several weeks ago. Immediately following the announcement that Perry had smallpox the local board of health held a meeting in which it was decided to ask the citizens of the town to be vaccinated. Especially is it desired that the children comply with this request. A resolution was also passed by the board requesting that closets and hog pens inside the incorporate limits be kept clean and if not so kept the board to order the work done at the expense of the owner. \ ! Looking for Applicants. Press reports say that for the past two years Representative! Finley, of the Fifth South Carolina district, has been vaudy trying to fill two vacancies at Annapolis, but in every case during that time his appointees, as principals and alternates, have failed to pass the difficult and technical examinations. Not having time to hold competitive examinations for the appointments between now and June 20th, when his appointees must be ready, Mr. Finley has written to the presidents of various South ^ ?* ?i - -1 - 1 _ Carolina colleges asaiiig mem iu siiggest the names of young men from the Fifth district who, in their opinion, might pass. Mrs. J. W. Eason Dead. From the Waxhaw Enterprise it is learned that Mrs. Eliza Jane Eason, wife of Mr. J. \Y. Eason and mother of Mrs. \Y. R. Howie, of Fort Mill, died at her home near Waxhaw Saturday, May 20. The burial took place at Pleasant Grove church the following day. Mrs. Eason was 82 years old and was a consistent member of the Baptist church. She was born in Anson county, but spent most of her life in Union county. She was twice married. Her first husband was Mr. J. Maicomb Niven, who died in a Confederate hospital at Orange Court House, Virginia, with typhoid fever, 1863. In 1868 she was married to Mr. J. W. Eason. Mrs. Eason is survived by two daughters and five sons, one of the latter, Mr. C. VY. Eason, moved from Fort Mill to the Waxhaw section only a short time ago. Winthrop college will have two coaches in the educational train to be sent out by Clemson and Winthrop together. One of the coaches will be fitted up with cooking equipment and will be used for lectures and demonstration work in cooking. j The Drought of 1845. Sixty-six years ago (1845) there was a long continued dry spell in this State, according to the Spartanburg Journal. There was moisture enough in the land to bring up corn and mature wheat. But from the first oLMay until some time in tfre fall there was not rain enough to rrtuddy the small streams. Creeks the size of Chincapin and even larger ceased to run. Many farmers did not pretend to gather corn, 1 for they made none to gather. That fall and even in the late summer hundreds of wagons were driven to the coves and I rivers of North Carolina and j loaded with corn and brought to j this State. At first, if we are i not mistaken, it was bought for 37 cents a bushel. Then it began to rise by degrees and soon reached 50 and perhaps 75 cents. There were two small churches or meeting houses in Spartan- j fkon huvincr hppn huilt in UUI ^ liiv.il, Hi*. ...ft ~ 1839. The people of the village ; and county united in a call for a prayer meeting for rain. Quite a number came in from the country. They met in the Methodist church and they were much humbled by the long continued drought. They prayed long and earnestly for rain. Those who came in from the country did not get home before clouds, much larger than a man's hand, rolled up and a bountiful shower came down. There was no more lack of rain that fali. Seed time came and the ground was in fine condition for sowing wheat, which made a good yield the following spring. Those attending that! meeting certainly believed that their prayers were answered and never did people take a wetting more joyfully than they did that one. McConnellsville High School Closes.
