Well, let them go ahead, tho farmers of Marlboro will have plenty of corn, and bacon fVr this aud next year, and ii ono half of forage crop is saved, they will not have to buy for their stock. Marlboro farmers have loug since, with few exceptions, waked up to tbe? the importance ol' raising their sup plies at home. Senator McCall, one of our hirgest planters, hasset the worthy example of raising four hogs to every plow ruu, which is sure to give a handsome surplns for market The result of thia system enables him to. pet com, bacon, forage, wheat, oats | ami-syrup oil tho market every year lt also~euables him to feed weil, aud he never wants for labor, or fears aoyj combines. The fact that during a few years past twenty-seven em ployees of the Southern railway have been killed by runaway freight trains on what is known as (he S luda mountain grade on the Asheville and Spartan burg line, this grade being 283 feel to Hie mile, will probably cause Hie railway to stop freight trains on thal; line anti handle these on the Knoxville and Aug usta division, now in course of construction.

I ii \ A Model Maa, if "Because he hath set Jbta love upon no, I will be with him in troubl?; sith long lifo will I satisfy him and trill show him my salvation." These premises were surely verified in tho experiences and life of Robin. ion Smith? who was born in Spartan burg county, 8. 0., Nov. ll, 1807,and 3ied Jan. 26,1903, being a little more limn 95 year old. "Unelo Robin," as be was familiarly called by his'neigh- > bore and friends, was, ia many re?' meets, a model man. He said he had never sworn an oath, had never been under, the influence of strong drink, never used any tobaeco, never told a falsehood and never had a difficult) ? i tb a neighbor in his life Ho was of good Presbyterian stock, but joined the Methodist church' in ear y life with his wife, and, although exceedingly modeBt and timid, he was i good and useful member for seventy r*ears, filling acceptably the offioes of iteward, chits leader, Sunday school lupcrintendent and trustee. He was ilow and timid in speech but kept up family worship in lou home ana brought up his children in the nurture iud admonition of the Lord. He was ever and always the preacher's friend, received him gladly iu his home, held np his hands and encouraged him in Ins work. His last days, though spent in age and feeblness extreme, were bright and happy because of the abiding presence of the Saviour. On a com munion occasion at his house a short while before his death he gave testi mony to the goodness and mercy of God that had followed him all tbe days of his life, and of God's special mauifeslatsons to him in his last days He Eaid he had talked with him every night and was comforted and refresh? ed. He expressed a joyful anticipa tion of a home in heaven and an eager desire to depart and be forever with the i J ord. He lived 0 quiet, unobtru sive, but very useful life, and left bin descendants, ?bout 200 in number, a rich heritage of faith and of devotion lo the higher and nobler puposea of life. May they follow him as he fol lowed Christ. G T. Harmon, In 80. Ch. Advocate Aug 20, Brother, sister, how many Robinson Smith's do you know in Marlboro, or State of South Carolina, or in the U. S. of America ? It is remarkable how few there are ; and yet, it is possible for all of us to live just such lives. If ho, why not "we ? Have we any right to question tbe correctness of tho statement ? I think not. Let us hold up the standard to our children. Respectfully MILTON MCLAURIN. Beunettsville. Aug. 24, 1903.

Kvelyn Rogers, Ella Wright, Laurie L. Harrall Committee. Brain Leaks. A church census taken in Lon don by the Daily news shows that of those who go to church -including all kinds of church es-only about one in four is a man. In other words, women go to church more often and more regularly than men do. Perhaps some of our readers will care to answer, or at least to discuss among themselves, the following questions: Why is there a falling off in church attendance by men everywhere? Why do men go to church more rarely than women-every where? Why is the church attendance proportionately smaller among educated men than among ignor ant men -every where? Why have men shown a con stantly diminishing interest in religion? Why do men less than wom en exhibit fear of "future pun ishment," hope of "future re ward," religious aspiration or whatever it is that takes human beings to church?-New York Journal.

SPE??HE3 THAT LIVE. Orot or lc Trlniupll- TUat Eland! t?t? Teat o? Jleudlnar. It is often Raid that if a speech read? well it is not a good speech. There may be some truth in lt. The reader eanuot, of course, get tho Impression which the speaker conveys by look and tone and gesture. He lacks that inar TPIOIIS Influence by which in a great assembly the emotion of every Individ uni soul is multiplied"by the emotion of every o thor. Thc reader can pause and dwell upon thc thought. If there be a fallacy, he ls not hurried away to do Something else before ho can detect it. Bo, aloa, bis more careful and deliber ate criticism will discover offenses of style and taste which pass unheeded in a speech when uttered. But still the great oratorio triumphs of literature and history stand the test of reading in the closet na well sq of bearing in the assembly. Would not Mark Antony's speech over the dead body of Cosar, had lt been uttered, have moved the Kornau populace as it moves thc spec tator when the play ls acted or thc sol itary reader in his closet? Does not Lord Chatham's "I rejoice that Amer ica has resisted" reads well? Do not Sheridan's and Burke's great perora tion? In the impeachment of Warren Hastings read well? Docs not "Liberty and union, now and forever," read well? Does not "Give me liberty or give me death" read well? Do not Ev erett's ll neat passages read well?-Sen ator Hoar in Success.

For putting in prime condition any horse or mule the best of all remedies is Ashcraft's Condition Powders. These Powders are won derfully effective because they cre ate appetite, the digestion is made perfect, worms and parasites de stroyed, and the system cleansed of all gross humors. The Pow ders fatten but never bloat. Ashcraft's Condition Powders are wrapped in doses. In fact, in their preparation the same care is used that a druggist would exer cise in the filling ?f a physician's prescription. High grade and real merit is the first consideration. Ashcraft's Powders consist of small doses, prepared from the purest and highly concentrated in gredients, that have been found beneficial to horses and mules. Ashcraft's Condition Powders always high grade-are not to be classed with the many bulky, good for-everything powders now on the market. Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put up in doses, and good for horses and mules only. "Having tried many kinds of Condition Pow* dc rs, I consider Ashcraft's tho best on tho market.
