fc The Chronic Pessimist.
Of all the cranks, the crankiest is the
- -1 ...ut..
chronic pessimist, ne is aiways fuming
like a half-starved dog with a tin
can tied to his tail. When the sky is
beautifully clear, he is positively certain
that everything will dry up and
there will l>e a scarcity. When the
gentle rain begins to fall, he laments
and is afraid 'the erojis will lie spoiled.
He is always expecting some ggreai
calamity, misfortune of some k...u, or
of being laid up with rheumatism. No
matter how rosy the apples look or how
Juicy the i>ears, he is afraid that the;
are wormy at the core and cant be kept
until Christmas. The country is going
to the bow-wows and everybbody is a
dirty and dishonest rascal. His own
peaceful and progressive town is ai:
right but he is convinced that it wil'
never improve so very much. The hig!
church spire is a notable landmark, but
it might fall down some day and dgreat
damage. He himself enjoys excellent
health at present, but he is sun
that he won't live long- and he should
P& not The world would be mucQ nappiei
without such cranky pessimists.
y* STMCKLIS'S GOAL AHEAD.
' v. 2
Appreciation and a Little Bit o
Shop Talk.
A well known printer from Whdes
boro was In Cheraw recently and dli
us the honor of paying us a visit
After being shown through all th<
departments, this printer went hom<
and told his "boss" that Cheraw ma;
not be any better town than Wades
boro, but it surely has one real print
ing office.
We are not interested in the sor
of printing office Walesboro has?i
knows It has three good ones?but i
pleases us to know that when dis
cernlng visitors go through our plan
they go away thinking we have a sure
enough, modern printing plant.
In this connection it may not bi
amiss to add a few words:
Stricklin's plant was planned, built
and is being run to please folks wh<
know what good service really is.
We haven't any ambition to rui
Just a "fairly good" plant?what w<
want is the best anywhere in tht
territory.
The thing we are trying for?an<
want?is to surround this office wltl
an atmosphere of efficiency and cor
da lity that will ?e distinctive.
Besides this, we want our patron;
to feel that when a package of worl
comes from Stricklin's it must b<
everything that it could possibly b<
expected to to be.
These are our printing ideas.
Yes, surely, we blunder occasion
ally and do wrong things but the goa
ahead is never lost sight of.
Is a minister, who in the heat of i
temperance campaign prayed for th<
destruction of a hotel which was
selling liquor on Sunday, liable to th(
owner of the hotel for an apparen
answer to his prayer when the hote
is struck by lighting and burned t(
the ground?
According to one editor, the
woman of today outstrips all hei
predecessors. But he seems to havr
forgotten mother Eve.
Most lambs must suspect that the
good die young. If a lamb could
think, it would explain why so man}
butchers grow old.
When a farmer marries he always
is referred to as prosperous. Probably
the other kind don't marry.
Remarks about the weather never
change it.
"N
THE AUTO ON THE FARM
When The City Man hears of the
farmer with an automobile, he pictures
the purse-proud tiller w the land, having
disposed of his bumper wheat-crop
, at famine prices, as rolling along the
' well-kept country road in his 'touringcar,
accompanied by his wife and
daughters in their best clothes. It is y
true that large numbers of farmers
now own motor-cars. They and their
families take 'joy-rides occasionally,
too; there is no doubt al>out that; but( .
the cars were not bought primarily for i
i that purpose. The farmer needs the 1
car in his business. Just how, a cor- ?
?I?. ?? Tt... Rum] Vow Yorker I
respouueiu ui me jl?u?c.
(New York) tells us in a sort of symIHjsiuin
of interviews, under the general
heading, "How Farmers Use Their
Cars." We read iu this:
"'I did not buy a machine because
autos are the style, but I lmught it to
use,' a farmer remarked as he pointed
to his load piled in the rear-seat space
of his touring-car. The machine is
one of the well-known low-priced cars,
and this farmer had a half-dozen
sacks of fertilizer in his car. 'I have
carried such loads, I drive carefully,
have some hilly road, but I find I can
make two or three trips and do it more
quickly and cheaply than with a team,'
1 the farmer said. 'In fact, there is one
disadvantage in using the auto for a =:
truck: the farmer makes sivh speed
with his load that his horses can't tra- |n
vel fast enough to satisfy him. He f)
keeps urging them on, and he can't
l-ealize there is a limit to the ground ()
they can co^er.' 1(]
"I used my auto to unload hay, an. (j(
other farmer said. 'I hitched the hay. oik;
to the rear axle of the machine,
tnd by driving -the machine carefully

is with a team.'
*"I use a trailer,' a Pennsylvania k'
'rutt-maii icmarke.3 'My machine ^
lelivers the goods. I had an old phaeton,
which I made over Into a trailer, i
[ cut off the tongue to about three or v1
tour feet in length, had a blacksmith
'roil the tongue, and by placing a bolt
through the iron and through a board
at the back of the machine a little a- ;
Vve the axle, I am able to attach or
letach my trailer as I wish. I have
arted sixteen bushels of berries in my
trailer and hauled seven Italians in
he machine. I have used my machine
"or three years, putting it to hard
vork, and it has paid. I am a lover I
>f a horse, and am satisfied no auto
vill take the place of a horse, but
visely handled, the automobile has be omo
a necessity in my fruit-business
"'I bought this large touring-car
econd-hand. I have used it almost
tally for three years and it has more
ban doubled my business, a marketardener
told me 'I live a dozen \
lies form the city, my work is large- v
v wholesale, and 1 make as many n* F
cite trips daily. J lot.l my machine I
, ho evening before, have material for S
. c cr two uioiv loads in the packing- (
. house realy, anl I am able to I
make the three trips before noon.' C
"'We have twenty-five cows; wv t
live back about six and one-half nii'es F
among the hills.' another farmer said: ?
f I also haul the milk for one of my s
neighbors. We are shipping to a city F
about one hundred miles away, and ^
. ihe auto has made it i>os.sible. We use N
the machine over the roads nearly ev- ^
1 -ry day from seven to nine months in I
the year, and, aside from tires, oil. (
and gasoline, our expenses have been f
anaII. It would have required the lar ]\
, *er part of the forenoon to make the ?
^ trip, and we can do it now nicely after ^
breakfast, in about an hour.' ^
"T have three farms,' another uvto I
owner said, 'and I am aide to keep ir '
totich with what is doing on these ^
farms each uny. There were, at fines 1
^ two or tliree weeks during which i F
would not see more titan one of these ^
farms. To make the trips, it would F
have required a half a day at least T
. and now I make daily visits to one or C
fnrma Tt nnvc nu? hi ).M>II ill F
touch with what is doing.'
*"I am throughly familiar with the ^
i machine,' a woman said, as she tugged 1
at the tiro. 'I have had a blowout and r
: am going to vulcanize the break, and ^
; put on that new outer casing.' The ^
C
t woman explained her husband'sbusi1
ness: 'We have a small farm, and we *
) market our privlucts in a small city
eight miles from home. We finl that '
we can supply our trade quickly, and '
? the expense is much less than with T
horses. We have developed an egg ^
business of some proportions. My T
husband goes to inland towns regular- r
!y. sts-urcs the supply of country mor *
'hunts, and wholesales them to grocers
in the city. lie finds that he can do T
