GOOD LITERATURE.
Jt strikes us that the parent*,
guardians and teachers of Mi*
youth in this strenuous age are
paying two little attention' to the,
dissemination of good literature
among that class. In using the
words, "good literature" we
don't want to be qpisunderstood
ms favoring the recommending
the ponderous style of writing
which is affected, and by many
x>f the older generation, really
enjoyed . Our meaning is simply
to suggest that a number of
books of light fiction, the plot of
which contains a moral, should
be placed within the reach of the
^young. There are also a num
ber of books which would in
terest the growing boy and girl
ftljat contains nothing but fact,
which cannot but be of benefit
jand pleasure to them. In th':s
period of cheap literature an at
tractive library for our boys and
girls can be obtained at slight
.cost, and the small outlay will
,be repaid to you many times over
in the pleasure, interest and
benefit that will accrue to you
through the more heulthful con.
dition of mind of your benefici
pries.
, "We are writing tbia as a gra
iuitous advertisement of one of
the very b^est books for boys that
.has ever come before us. It is
"HAROLD WARE," and
fs furnished by the Commercial
f'oiijtry Publishing Co., Mar
Illinois, in whose paper,
<"G<?ii)a}?rcial Poultry" it has
?een running several months as
a serial story.
The book is sold at 75 cents in
paper .cover which includes aa
annual subscription to the paper,
jtn cjoth finding, the cost is
$1.50 including the subscription.
As we have stated, we have
no interest, direct or indirect in
this publication, but we do feel
# great interest in the young
people of this, and "every com
tnunity, and we feel that nothing
but good can come out of the
placing of a copy of HAROLD
WARE* in every home contain
}ng children.
We well remember our heart
hunger for books in our early
youth when the price for books
was practically prohibitive to
the poor, and eveu now, though
jnauy yours have pussed ov^r
pur head, we recall the warm
J^el'mir of gra'iiuiln that tilled our
bi'iiiK vyii" u liiencl of uiuUirer
year* e$ieuded to us the loan of
pne or more volumes of history or
ad ve illume. That feeling of grati
tude still exists, and we are glad
to say that the bread tha't was
past upon the waters in our early
youth has been returned by us
)u some measure to those who
^oolc hi) interest in the penniless
,t>oy who thirsted after know
ledge, and who could not have
obtained it except for the ex
tension 0/ that interest.

From this it can be seen the
prospect for aid from such peo
ple is slim indeed, although
given and given liberally.
The routine and red tape
through which the successful
ones pass equals the getting a
bill through Congress.
The scientific claim of having
transplanted from one dog to
another the head of one of the
uuimals, has led the speculative
to calculating that in time human
heads cuu be shifted iu like
uiunuer.
Much space is being given to
the discussion of the subject.
It is being predicted that the
old head can be severed and
transpiunted to young shoulders
and the owuer live through an
other generation. What would
become of the young head on old
shoulders has not yet been
touched upon.

OPENING OF THE COUNTY
CAMPAIGN.
Every Candidate, on Hand,
and a Number of Fair
Speeches Delivered.
The Countv Campaign was
formally opened at Beaver Dam
in West Wateree on last Friday,
Mr. M, B. Rabon being the Chair
man, or, master of ceremonies.
The order of spea Icing was from
coronor to solicitor. None of
the candidates for minor oftices
interested the audiance of about
250 voters much as they had
really very little to talk about.
The real interest in the meet
ing oentred in the candidates for
the Legislature and for Solicitor.
As candidates for the first men
tioned office, Messrs. .John G.
Richards, W. A. Kclirock and
M. h Smith, in the order named,
held the almost undivided at
tention of the audiance for about
twenty five minutes each with

Poultry joints
The farmers who are
careless regarding the
kinds of fowls to Weep,
pay well for their indifference.
They may content themselves
with the belief that "one fowl
is as good ns another," but they
are governed by old customs and
usages instead of experience.
Compared with common fowls,
i he pure breeds are more useful;
they lay more eggs; some varie
ties come to maturity sooner;
they are far more quiet gener
ally; at maturity the cockerels
make fine birds, and the pullets
4ood winter layers. Flocus of
common kirils noticed on some
farms cause loss to their owners
and are a drawback to any farm in
these days of progress and im
provement. It costs but little to
begin with pure breeds, and in
me year thu farmer can have a
handsome Hook of nice, thrifty,
useful breeders that will give
natisfuction and pay liberally
for their keeping.
There is no field open to wo
I men today that is Iqss crowded j
than the poultry field; none that
offers as tfoo 1 returns for one's
labor; none that affords so much
freedom when taken us a voca
tion, and none that makes 0110
so nearly independent of others.
Some of our best-planned poul
try farms us of our best paying
ones, are the outgrowth of wo
