Business is a little quiet now, the farmers all being busy with their crops. Soon, very soon now the glad hand will be extended to you by the political aspirant. Columbia has just raised $85,000 for a new Y. M. C. A. Goodness! What a sum for it. If Columbia takes in that part of Lexington county she now desires, she surely will have "One Wide River to Cross." Have you yet told the census enumerator how much liquor you drink and how many times you go to church on Sunday. If womens hats this season were *r ~ "! of a. , i . .

If there happens to be a ball game in New York on the same afternoon of Roosevelt's arrival, we wonder which will draw the largest crowd. Many is the tale told about the tail of Halley's comet. The story teller's gas fully equals that said to be contained in the tail of that wonderfully brilliant spectacle. Charleston has the mad dog scare. Even the police of blind tiger renown have given up hunting those unseeing animals and are using their untold energy in hunting for the cur. Airships and food prices appear to be the highest soaring things of the present day. May the cost of living drop as unexpectedly and as sud Jenly as do some of the first ine itioned sky pilots. Roosevelt's arrival in the early part of June is creating quite a commotion. Even the automobilists are airanging a tour from the South to New York to greet him. We know he will be DELIGHTED. Overcoats were very comfortable during the early part of the week. The early summer swallow was evidently much inconvenienced by the unexpected fires which it w<s necessary to have for comfort. as? ? The sun's rays, raise produce, and produce prices are raised by the trusts, and the trusts raise the anger of the great multitudes by freezing out the small beginnings raised by the independent dealer. Thus what the sun's rays have raised, the trusts have consumed, and those who represent these octopuses bask in the rays of the sun on the loss of those who raised the produce by the aid of the sun's rays. Moral?The trusts have cornered the sun. Why does Great Britian buy its oatmeal of us? Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of export i ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britian and Europe. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. .9 How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export reports on Quaker Oats. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. 51 AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF PAINTING DONE THIS SPRING "Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait" seems to be the motto adopted by our energetic merchants Holman-Cullum H'dw'e. Co. for they have certainly been hustling this spring. In backing up their excellent advertising in the columns of the Batesburg Advocate their handsome window displays have proved most effective. According to a conversation with one of our renorter< ihere has been an unusual amount of paint ing done in Batesburg, S. C. this spring. That's a sign of prosperity we're very glad to see. This week floor paint is the leader in their window. How an old scratched floor or a marred bare floor can be given a hard, serviceable, easily-kept-clean surface is clearly shown by the sample they display.

The chaperono sat iu the aliude of a vivid red parasol, unnecessary because the sun, rod as the parasol, would soon sink into the tranquil sea. The hand that was free of the parasol held an unopened book, and tho lad^i herself Kazcd into the trr.-ivlsh wnJoi for long, silent minutes. Hippies ol maidenly laughter floated up from behind cliffs and ledges that a goat would scarce care to climb; and the monotonous murmuring of the ypnng things Intrusted to her caro beat upon her unheeding ears. Then a slanting sail peeped over thf glooming horizon and the chaperon# tossed the dull book upon the sands "I wish/' she murmured, dreamily "to he ui>on yonder boat?to sail for ever in a sea of golden fancy!" "A beautiful wish," said a deep firm voice behind her. A wish tha a prince or a beggar, a poet or a plum ber might make?a wish that coma true for us all when we allow." The ehaperone turned and screamed ?not. loud euough for the youug things along the ledges to hear. "Tom ? oh, Tom?whore in the world did you come from?" "The 'Iolanthe' is at Roekhaven," explained Brantley. "I heard of the scrimmage and came over, pining to he entertained, shocked, flirted with, made over. But you're alone?a gallant bunch of gentlemen!" "Oh, answered the lady. "You see I'm tho ehaperone." There was a flush in her cheek and Brantley saw. "A ehaperone!" ho retorted.
