AF&
A FARM SAVING BANK. .
The difference in paying out
money in a lump for a team and pay
ing out a little labor and home
grown feed each day is about as
straining on one's pocket-book as it
would be on his legs to make three
or four leaps up a hill instead of
taking easy, leisurely paces in climb
ing it.
It will now take from eight to
ten bales of cotton to pay for a fair
team in money. The horse traders
get from $100 to $150 profit, and
the stock grower gets the balance—
the cotton grower pays all profits,
freight and takes all the risk of ac
climation and breaking.
We need not go very far from
home to find a few farmers here and
there all over the Cotton Beft who
are now working home-raised teams
oh their farms. Ask those men how
much money they paid out for these
splendid teams and they will not
mention a dollar outside of fee for
the sire; the balance of the cost rep
resents the savings of a little labor
and a little home-grown food depos
ited in this team each day. These
home-raised teams are truly the ac
cumulations of farmers' home sav
ings banks.
These daily deposits in the way of
food and attention have been com
pulsory, which should be a pleasant
change from the monotonous delving
away on the train of king cotton.
The interest on these deposits in our
"farmers’ home savings bank” (the
growing team) commences each day
and grows while you sleep, rain or
shine: and the institution is panic-
proof and out of reach of defaulting
officials or the dangers of high fi
nance.
For summer feeding instead of
pasturing, or for supplementing
short pasturage, our folks stand by
sorghum, both early and late vari
eties, planted soon and late, on low
land and upland. We cut it three
or four times in a season and never
have sick stock from feeding it.
For winter tood, and good clover
or alfalfa hay with cowpeas, soy
beans and oats will keep colts grow
ing all winter, and a little rye, bar
ley and afalfa should be ready to cut
about the middle of Mafch for early
feeding. In fact, there is such a
great variety of crops and pasturage
for growing colts that any farmer
may ask and find out what suits his
soil btrst, and then he can reach
down in the ground under his feet
and pull his teams out of his own
soil instead of praying to king cot
ton for profits to pay for teams.
Most all our fanners know how to
raise their own teams but they lack
the pluck and grit to do things.—J.
C. Stribling in Progressive Farmer.
—The Carolina Union Farmer.
NOT SUCH A FOOL
It was said of a certain village
“innocent” or fool in Scotland
that if he were offered a silver
six-pence or copper penny he
would invariably choose the
larger coin of smaller value.
One day a stranger asked him:
“Why do you always take the
peppy? Don't you know the
difference in value?”
“Aye,” answered the fool, “I
ken the difference in value. But
if I took the saxpence they would
never try me again.”—Every
body's Magazine.

REJOICE Oil! YOUNG MAN IN THE
DAYS OF THY YOUTH.
Rejoice oh! Young man in the days
of thy youth, proud and strong,
The futuWs before thee and the
pathway seems long,
But remember, between you and the
goal that you seek,
The tempter lies waiting for the
careless and weak.
Remember the sower must reap in
the end
And the follies of youth, old age
will attend,
Will attend ad recall with a memory
keen
And compare what you may, with
what you’ve been.
Opportunity lost is beyond your re
call
If you trust your own strength you
will stumble and fall.
Remember these things, choose your
Guide now today,
One faithful and tender, will watch
o’er your way.
For, tho’ now the pathway with
flowers seem decked
Along that same pathway young
lives have been wrecked,
For the garlands but hide ’neath
their beauty so fleet,
The quicksands of evil for the way
ward ones feet.
Then choose now in springtime your
Guide and your friend
Look above! He is waiting your
steps to defend
Your love’s all He asks, your trust
He demands
As He reaches out to give His dear
loving hands.
G. W. O. Rivers.
Walterboro, May, 14.
LIFE
Ah! what is life, but one long bitter
strife ,
Of right and wrong, of good and
evil deeds.
At harvest time we fthd alas too oft
Tho’ wheat was sown we’ve reaped
for God but weeds;
Oft times it seems to me in vain to
try
Right seems so far away, and wrong
so nigh.
Ah! yes tis ever near and paints
with skillful hand
Earth’s vain and fleeting pleasures
with a brightness rare,
We strive in vain the shadowy
forms to clasp
To find at evening’s close, but dark
ness and despair;
How oft e’en when on bended knee
we pay
Through heart and wind will evil
fancies play.
Unworthy thoughts and sinful feel
ings oft,
Impulses pure doth crush with ruth
less himd.
And poor‘ weak erring man tho’
striving still
From life’s great loom is thrown a
broken strand:
Grant this Oh God, when from the
loom you take
Sctne perfect strand of mine be
there, Jesus Sake.
G. W. O. Rivers.

DEATH OF ALMA DRAWDY
Little Alma was a bright little girl
of seven years old. She was the
baby girl of Mr and Mrs J C Drawdy
She was my joy and pride and the
loving pet of the family.
May 4th, 1909 she departed from
this world and«took her flight to be
with the angels.
All was done for her that loving
hands could do but it seems that
God was ready for her to come up
to the brighter world to live with
Him. She loved everybody whom
she knew, and she loved her Sunday
school.
1 wish to thank every one who
visited her through her sickness and
death. She was’my darling and 1
loved her so well, but Jesus, loving
her better, took her home to rest.
Darling, thou was’t mild and lovely.
Gentle as the summer breiese;
Pleasant as the air of evening,
That floats among the trees.

A LETTER FROM GEORGIA
Flat Ford, Ga. May 14.
Special:—1 am glad to know
that old Walterboro is booming.
Guesa you all had a big time dur
ing the festival. What will old
Walterboro have the next time?
The farmers here are busy
picking beans and all of them
are smiling at the good price
they are getting for them.
Truck is fine in this county.
Effingham and Springfield are
also booming. They are having
picnics every week.
The Sunday school convention
was fine. There were five thous
and people in Springfield that
day, there is no place like Wal
terboro to me.
1 am always so glad to get The
Press and Standard, so that I can
get the news from old home.
Well I hope you all will kill
old “Booze” out and then Wal
terboro will take her lead among
the towns of the state.
With best wishes to your pa
per.
Gray Bill.
