WOODWARD, Editor and Manager. THURSDAY FEB. 16th 11)05. Tiie farmer who always has something to sell, has the most money, and lives the best. The business of the magistrate at Uonway is always increasing, and the very small salary now provided for him is very inadequate as compared to the work required. Even some Legislators are bohind the times. How about the one who introduced a bill to adopt the Webster "blue back" spelling book in his county? Notwithstanding all of the new cottages and tenant houses erected during the last year or two, every dwelling is occupied and many people are having to board at the hotels and in private families. The demand for dwelling houses cannot be supplied. From notices which lately appeared in the State papers it appears that tho school trustees are taking steps preparatory to the erection of the new school building. Bids have been advertised for, and it is likely that tho work will begin before a very long time. ????? Next Monday will be court week and everybody will want to visit the county seat. No one need hesitato on account of any fear of catch in# the small pox from citizens of the town. Thero are no now cases | reported in the vicinity, and the cases that first caused the alarm here arc long since well of the disease. A majority of tho people in Conway, wo believe, have been vaccinated, but thero are still a few who declare they will not bo vaccinated under any consideration. It is lucky that the percentage of those who thus refuse to obey tho town law is small. They stand in their own light. As the farmers bogin to turn the land for the coming crops it will be well for them to remember that it will be folly to plane Ico much of ? ?:fcfaer cotton or tobacco. If all of the farmers will only plant small crops, the time will soon come when they will get high prices for both, and the country will see the best period of prosperity that has ever visited her. Small crops of cotton and tobacco and large crops of corn and other food crops must bo the rule with the farmers or they will suffer for it. tlowcll. M. A. Hamilton made a trip in the Adrian section last Saturday. G. W. Booth is teaching school in ihc Ninlinlo ennt!/\i. v.?vy AltVUVIO OUV/UI'-m, The public school at this place under the charge of Miss Frances Barfield come to a close last week. Miss Eddie Spivcy of Conway recently made a very pleasant visit in our section. ? + The Sizer Lumber Co., of Lfomewood recently purchased quite a lot of timber in and near this section. They seem to pay satisfactory prices On last Friday evening the passenger train north bound ran up to this place, the engine stopping op posite the platform It is supposed that a spark of fire from the en^'fiic caught on a lot of cotton stored on the platform, belonging to J. T. Thompkins and burned about 4000 pounds. Itcamo very near burning tho railroad shed and the store houso of Mr. Thompkins. J, M. Sarvis of Dillon, has recently moved on tho farm of S. B. M> Nabb and will farm for him tho coming year. Cor. Box. Most of our up-to-date farmers are making rapid progress prev paring for another crop. We regret to learn of the death of Mots Grainger and James Smith recently. Mrs. Sarah Johnson is spending some time with her son, W. H. Johnson. Wshave little to say about tho high price of guano, wo spend all of our time grumbling about fivo cent cotton. Can we nay $25.00 for guano with four and five cent cotton? S. F. Floyd and wife, who have been spending some time with the latter s mother have returned to Chadbourn, N. C., whore they will make their future homo. John Holt has entered the Sandy Plains school. P. Barnhill went to Mullins on t business last Friday. * B. J. Holt paid his mother a visit last week. 1028 h" - * Haul iu your manure and compost ' broadcast and plow it in. * You, who have tried it, know that c crops do much Wetter in rich land than in poor land with plenty of new ' coarse manure under or around it * Experience also teaches that the s more thoroughly the laud is broken 1 up and the manure mixed with the c soil, the better the results. This can be done better before * planting than afterwards. " 1 Well, as I am writing merely for 1 sake of empolymcnt, (I don't like to f be idle,) \ will say a little also about 1 the public schools of our country. Dois any other country haw a I better system? A system of public ' schools that places the opportuni ties for an education any nearer 1 every poor country man's children's home? Oh yes, we live in a grand J country for schools when we look at ; the bright side of it and forget the 1 murmuriugs of the contentious grumbler who is never pleased with ' anything. hut will these conditions continue ' if three or four of our school hous- ' c.s bo done away with and only one built instead? If we consolidate ' three schools making one house for ' three, can the children of the throe all go to the one house? Consider the distance, also the 1 roads Can this be done so that ev- * cry child can get there by way of a public road any more than they can now get to one nearer their home? 1 My good readers, you do the thinking, 1 am talking. Would not consolidation of the schools practically mean to take the : schoois from the masses for whom 1 it was intended and give it to a few? Had you rather not, send your children only one or two miles than five or even more, and after considering the cost of building this one house to accommodate as many as three or four of the present schools and then hire three or four goo.l teachers. Would your schools run any longer than they do now? 1 fear if they do you will then I grumble about high taxes more than [ over ocioi'o. When you pay your taxes like good citizens should, then does not your country owe you a school for your children and that within easy reach? 1 pay a tax, and pay it just where and when my country says pay it. , In turn my country promises me and my neighbors a school for our children Of course we paid for it, then why not have it where our children can get to it? That is my opinion, although I've been advised not to express it, but this is not election year and if it was fin not an ollice seeker. I have an axe to grind, and T also have children to educate and so has 1 my neighbors A servant perhaps better hold his tongue at times, but why should a free man? 4 Say, let's build plenty of school houses?build them thick enough , that our neighbor's children and our own can go to school. One mile is far enough for a tot of six or eight years to walk to school. ( "FOOT." Gideon. Health of the community is gen - , erally good. , We fear that the farmers will be late planting. They being a little backward already, and the tremendous rain-fall will prohibit them ; from plowing for several days or i even weeks, if it was as heavy in j other sections as this We regret the loss of Misses Olla, Victoria and Freddie Floyd, three ol our charming lasses, who, recently were made orphans by the death of ! Mr. Fred Floyd. The lasses have ' gone to Florida with their brother, Newberry, who is a much missed ( citizen, both as a church worker and also as a neighbor, and is holding quite a responsible position in "the land of (lowers,*' with an or ange grower. We hope the child r well and feel suro that they will b 1 conic the brides of some of the wo 1 thv men of that place. Sirs. Katie Kabon, "old uncle Dan iel Rabon's" widow was recenth and happily married to Mr. Marvin 1 Elvis, an enthusiastic youth of his twentieth summer, (no winter.) The continued rain which began . Srturday evening, caused Doc (1. Spivey, the junior salesman of the . firm of the Spivey Mercantile Co., to continue his visit to his paternal 1 home longer than he would other . wiso have done, but Doc did not lose any time for he has a large circle of friends and tries to make it a . point to visit as many of them as possible. The case against Julius Hatcher for being unlawfully married waw investigated by Magistrate Jos. W Johnson, causing quite an excite- i ment throughout the section Mr * C T. Hardee, the plaintiff was rep resented by Att'y. C. Pi. St. Amand, ] and the defendant, by tho Hon II ( II. Woodward. Too parties were I bound over to the court.

' ! uwnp** 11 has been a week from this writ?g since t ho sun has been visible 0 us, and we arc glad to see signs >f its appearing again. The snow of some days past caused ots of fun for the boys. Some of hem got in very good practice tlidiug, but their feet would out 'mi their bodies aud of course the >ver balance meant a heavy fall. The farmers of this section are be ;inn>ng to hustle, preparing for mother crop, but 1 don't think the ;otton crop will be so great in this section as it was last year. I think ihat if the farmers will lesson their restilizer bills and spend more time preparing for, and growing their loino provisions, and then if they lave spare time put it in as much ujoneyoropas they could well manige; then s<>ine of them would enjoy patronizing their smoke houses md barns more than they have in limes past. The mail carrier failed to make ?is trip on Monday of last week, nit. we should not grumble, for it rns been a long time since lie failed to bo on time 11. F.

We are having plenty of rain at presant. The snow that fell on the 1th lasted for several (lays. On last. Wednesday night there was quite a wind and rain storm passed through here which blow off the rafters of the body of Mr. Watson's new building, being built by Mr. L. M. Johnson instead of Z. It. Johnson as formerly stated. There was a quiet home wedding at the home of Mr. T. T. Thomas on last Thursday night, the contracting parties being Mr. J. W. Dunn and Miss Vallie C. Thomas !

We learn that the road will be built at once by the Gardner ^ Lacy Lumber Co., in order to get deeper water for their logging business, and will be used as a part of the proposed Southport road.
