Juat Where He Had Left It. Unde Billy is getting old and nl< eent-minded. One day Aunt Sally, his wife, noticed that he was roaming round trout room to loom. Presently he called to her front the kitchen, “Sally, have you seen my pipe?” “No, Billy,” she answered. “Can’t you find It?” “No, I can’t!” he replied rather crossly. “I’ve looked upstairs ami all over, and I can’t find It.” “Dldnt* you leave it. in the bath room?" asked Aunt Sally. “No, l didn’t. I’ve looked there. Gome and look yourself.” As Aunt Sally laid down her paper ahe heard him laugh. “Have you igtound II, Bill?" she asked. “Yes,” he replied. “It was In luy mouth."—Youth’s Companion.

The last federal census ‘'places the population of Williston at 854. The readers of a newspaper are calcu^ lated on a basis of five to one— that is, it has been estimated that an average of five .people read each copy printed find distributed. On that basis, Williston’s population is 4,270, for each inhabitant is a Ixrost- er multiplied by five. •The people have realized that Kingr Cotton is a deposed monarch — that it will be several years before he can hope to regain his throne, if he ever does succeed. That their realization is a wise one is t-videnced, by the general air-of prosperity and cheerful hope in the future that is apparent in these days of “hard times.” About a year ago, W. H. Kennedy i.nd Son .ejected a 10,000- bushel sweet, potato curing house. This was operated quite successfully last year, although it was not en tirely filled, due tfl the. fact that the farmers were imbued with ideas of high-priced cotton. Considerable improvement^ are being made to thtf house this year and. the farmery are bqing »urged to plftmT'-ppre Porto Rico potatoes, as. experience' lias shown- that they bring the highest prices. One man living near town is said to have recently cancelled his order for fertilizer for cotton and is going to plant his entire place in potatoes. He has asked that space in the curing house be reserved for, at least 1,000 bushels. “Two car loads of nicely cured potatoes were sold recently at fair prices, and as u result of the sales, an order was * V . received i\ few days ago for a car of hulk potatoes at a price that paid tm*' farmers 75 cents per bushel for till of their banked potatoes, rcgtird- less of variety, and thus cleaned up the surplus potato crop an^. encour aged them to plant a larger acre age this year. Another vegetable that is adding t i the prosperity of that section of the county is asparagus. From one to two refrigerated cars of ..the grass” are being-shipped each dlay from, that point, besides large quan tities by express. The benefits de rived by*,the farmers from the or ganization of the South Carolina Asparagus Association, with head quarters in Williston, cannot be es timated. The product of the mem bers of ‘'the association is handled by the North American Fruit Ex change. which han a ^district fnpna- gcr, Mr. W. A. Prater, on the ground throughout the shipping season.
