Toot Office at Conway, 8. fis Swonil-cUtt Matter. O THURSDAY DEC. \S\hf IQ02 I It is argued by some that, the remarkably warm weather this Winter is-owing to the aetiveness of volcanoes. S Land is being sold these days for fifteen or t wenty dollars per acre, when twenty years ago, it was thought to be a bad bat gain at lift \ ( cents or one dollar per acre. A farme* hv cho name of Moore in Florence county has raised 150 bushels of artichokes on one acre of land, and sold his crop t<? a drug house for 75 cents nor bushel. There seems to be money even in arti chokes. iiiiM 11 >h i a i. iiieiiuuii \v;is iimiu' in several of the newspapers some weeks ago, concerning an impressive sermon preached by one of our preachers on the subject of debt paying. It is a hard saying, but nevertheless wo think it i> true, that the man who is continually making small debts, which he neglects to pay, is a draw back to the commit nity. Inn laws regulating the assessment of property for taxation are defeetive in many particulars. It is a difficult matter to regulate anyway. But the officers of tin4 law should see that such laws as we have are enforced to the letter and in this they should be encouraged by all the people. The people should turn out at the Auditor's appointments, return their property correctly, and give him as little trouble as possible. As the population of the county increases, and the bulk of country produce hauled to our markets grows, the country roads are found to be in worse and worse condition. Some one remarked a few days ago, that in certain sections, the roads were cut up from the tires of vehicles, more than he had ever noticed before in his life. Good roads are a necessity and they arc becoming more and more of a problem as the years go by. Will they at last be maintained by t xation oT the poo pie? Time will finally force this remedy. The greatest factor in the up. bidding of a town is the public spii it of her citizens. The greatest nat ural advantages, such as geographical situation, can amount to but little when public spirit is wanting. ; Alas for the future of that towi where each man seems to ho bent solely upon the advancement of his own individual interests! "In union there is strength." And the busi ness men of a town, when they bo come united and pull together, can bring about any reasonable result they may desire, in the line of im provement. In the linal analysis the responsibility for our schools rests on the people, on you and on me. It is the duty of every citizen to keep himself informed on these questions and in touch with all movements for the betterment of our social condition. We must look to the character and ability of those who make and ad minister our laws and put intelli gent and honest men in official positions. Next to the church of Christ, including in it the Christian family, the school house is the most important factor in the enlargement of intelligence, the increase of virtue and the elevation of our social status. We owe it to God, to our country, to our State, to our county, to our families to our friends, to the rising generation aid to generations yet unborn, to do all incur power to promote and perfect this great agency for the betterment of mankind. You ean do something towards this end. 1 can do something. Let us arise and be about t.?Richard Mel I wain. ? W Old newspapers are for sale cheap at the Hekalo oflice.

Your correspondent from Cool Spring. "Fanner," has called back memories of some of our old time local preachers lie can go back far enough in recollections to make interesting reading,L)He mentioned Uncle Tom Heaty. He must remember also Uncle .lackey Heaty, his brother, and still there were others. Who does not remember Isaiah, Jeremiah and .'George Stalvev and one McCormack, all our old time local preachers, and the very salt of the earth. All that knew them loved them and still remember them. They were men who made the world better by living in it. They were men who tried to do their whole duty as they saw it. How much better some of us ouifht to be by reason of knowing them. Co where' thev lived and see* what a power for good they have been It could not be said of them, ' A prophet is not. withoutjhonor save in his own country," for they were honored by all who knew them. Their neighbors talked about them almost every where they met. They I ilked about them till they died, they t il' about them vet. These local preachers preached without money or without price I never knew one of them to get anything for Ids oroaehing except good will and a dinner. I should say something about how we lived in those times. I think six "barrels of flour would have stocked Conway. 1 have often seen two farmers throw in and buy a barrel, ! then saw it in too, being careful that each got his share. All Hour was put up iu wood in those times. We had for "sweetening," old black West India:: molasses. We ! had no sugar about the house except, a small amount of very dark brown sugar. This was guarded ami used only to sweeten catnip tea for the baby. You know, it has been for the last few years only that when you sat down t'? table your hostess would ask. '' Would you take sugar iu yours"? Hut ourtold ministers li, ed and seemed to eniov them s"l\(>s. Tliey seemed to think tliut nothing was worry or trouble, if by by so doing, they were walking in IIis steps. When we htld a two days meeting, and sometimes a protracted meeting, we knew where to goto get the best fare. On Sundays, we would have for breakfast, wheat biscuit, and at dinner if it was in the Summer, apple or peach pie, with both the bottom unci top crusts made of flour. We thought we lived well. Our old ministers would walk for miles and preach to and go back home the same night, so they could be at work the next day. Where are they now? They have gone whence no traveler" ever returns.
