The movement for getting; the railroad tracks away from the principal , thoroughfare of Conway, when it succeeds, will be a big thing: for Conway. Those who will get the credit for this improvement will have something that will make them be reluembered by every business man who does business along Main Street. At the same time .it will be appreciated as a great achievement by the people of the country who visit the town at regular intervals and wish to have it safe for them to drive teams alongMain Street, and pass along the crossings, and hitch their wagons and carts as near to the main artery . of business as they choose. ...J 1. jj > ci ,v >iuu iviiuhm, il 11VI Cilfll tillt* realizes from day to day, 'that the trains passing along -the street have become a nuisance. In times gone by this made but little difference, it lViakes a great difference now. Business men in the offices, customers in the stores, patients in the rooms of doctors, guests in the hotels of the town, all have to quit any conversation they may be trying to have when the trains come along; or else shout loud enough to be heard. The trains has upset many a business deal. It is no uncommon thing for you to hear men along a side street, near Main, say in a loud voice: "Wait till the train goes by." Many a time it has been too late after the Arain has gone by, for it was a long time 'going by, and before it got by, the other man had changed his mind; and the deal was missed. Who is willing to wait? Just how aggravating this is, no man can know except one who has had to put up with it for all these years. Good nerves indeed are required to oil ?"* -1 ?1 1 1 i^vuiiu c*11 L HIC 1 uc Kiit a 1011J2T x freight train can make while trying to pass up the grade along Main Street. The bell is ringing; the steam is exhausting in loud and long blasts like a thousand steam whistles turned loose all at cn? time; the brakes are rattling and the journals creaking; the wheels are grating on iron against iron; the wooden sides of the laden cars are bursting against each other as if they would be torn asunder; all of these mingle together and echo and reecho up and down; while the dust, and Ihe oW, and the smoke,x all join together to make an inferno of a somewhat different kind. If the head men of the great system I owning the Atlantic Coast Line had to have their ofticds in the center of the business block here, anywhere on Main Street, for just one day, this would be enough to get the tracks away. They would be ashamed of the fact ttiat in the face of frequent requests and pleas put up by us, they have not pushed the movement forward and had the change made long ago. o Pick only the ripe leaves when you gather tobacco for the curing barns. Could anybody ever produce a briirht leaf from one that is green? The leaves need to be ripe and ready for the barn before they are picked off. o Tobacco is very jealous in its nature when it comes to gathering and curing and placing in the right condition for selling. It will not stand for any fooling. LIKE WEATHEIt V ANE. Some men are like a weather vane, changing with every wind that blows, while others have a fixed purpose and stick to it forever. * Those like the weather vrnc will never get away from the uncertain fatening which holds them in place, while the other kind will accomplish something. rrn ?-i? -. j uu.^c wim ftie aiways turning anout from one thing to another without any set purpose of accomplishment in their views, will he apt to spend their lives in making changes as they think for the best but which lead nowhere except to ultimate failure. o Attention to detail is what produces a good grade of tobacco that will bring a good price regardless of the state of the general markets. o QuHm That Dim Hot Affect tin Hud Became of Iti tonic and laxative effect, LAX A* TIVB BROMO QU1NINB i> better than ordinary Su'mtic a ad docs not cause oervoiwatii not twine In bend.

C.?"If the tobacco planters of South Carolina are to realtze finally any benefits from their! cutting of acreage this year, they must now exert every effort on good curing and careful culling of their crop," says Mr. T. Benton Young, [ secretary of the South Carolina To-j bacco Association, speaking for the i growers, for the South Carolina Ware I housemen's Association, and for thc| buyers' association. "We are depend ent this year, absolutely, on the old line of buyers, because the inde-i penaent buyers are unable to make j the financial arrangements to operate. The buyers have indicated that they will do their best by the i growers and pay as much money for good tobacco as they can possibly I pYty. But they are demanding- of the growers that the growers shall offer only good stuff." Through the various associations of the different interests of the industry, the extension service of the state has been interested in the situation and is aiding in spreading the information regarding it". Over the signature of Dr. W. W. Lon^, director, 15,000 letters are being mailed*to individual growers in every section of the tobacco belt. Two important points are stressed in this letter, as follows: First. It will be useless waste of time and money to harvest the lower "plant bed" leaves or inferior "lugs." Of Course this does not mean that none of the lower leaves are desirable, but the cheap, trashy leaves and such leaves as become burnt would best be left in the field for manure, so we can not hope for them to'bring cost of curing and handling. Some think that such grades will not even get a "bid" on the warehouse floor. About this we do not know, but we do know thatsuch goods, if sold, will only stand ??4. - ' ' out MuuMicaiiy against tne farmer and make prices lower next season. Second. We get from good sources that this year it will be absolutely necesary for the farmer to let his tobacco get npe before gathering. 'The green grades which have been selling well in the past are apt to be a drag on the market. These grades have been exported in the past, but the foreign market is in such shape that you can not depen/1 on it. If the hands of "croppers" pull some green leaves, cqll them out from the curing before marketing. At the end of the seaI son, after having had them bulked down, market thes green loaves from all your curings. Mr. Bright Williamson, of T)aijlington. president of the South Car-. | olina Tobacco Association, is maki ing every effort possible to induce (the companies to come into the mariket July L9, when it opens, with aU ! buyers in all markets and taking ail grades. He is handling this matter through T. M. Carrington, of Washington, t). C., president of th?; United States Tobacco Asssociation. Such an opening would tend to establish proper prices, Mr. Williamson believes. WHISKEY STILL OLOSECONWAY Gasoline Outfit Confiscated by V. D.

Clemson, College.?The use of swrot ened poison for the boll weevil is noiii inK new, but is nearly a quarter of a century old, says Prof. A. F. O. >.radi, chief entomologist, in regard to the current discussions as to poisons. As far back, as !XJ)K, poisoned sweats wore employed early in the season replied by men ns of a stick, a few drops on each cotton plant. The ovly <!: ference between th those days ?and the formi'l? h - mended at this time is in the partic;:har materials used. Then'the pr'ncipal formuia consisted of ' olas s and paris green, or molasses l wliit>? arsenic. One formula \v! ' h -.ttracted speei: 1 attention, pro!?.- I 1v bccnuse of i<s . very cnm plica* I nature was made of molasses V>avis green, white arsenic, and arsenate f lead. All of these poisons have senic as the active ingredient, and -.'oone has ever been able to sc*e why all this array of compounds. As the early application of sweetened t>?ison killed a certain percentage of weevils, it appealed tomany farmers in each state when ever the boll weevil appeared. Ea'h year as new territory has been invaded by the weevil and new groupsof farmers have become panic* they have been inclined to nibble at the bait on almost anyvhook that is; throwi? out to them, but so far as sweets are concerned there m ^o evidence that bool weevils have boon attracted by them. So in the couise of 24 years sweetened poison lu s rot gained much recognition though thei? : ?--> - . ?vcc?ii u??.> mvuufu ?i?vcn stales. 111 fact sweetened poison has stld< vi paid the expenses of treatment and it has therefore been generally abandoved. * Stick to the'Standard ' / Instead of any or the s:>ec: d poisons now odvoented hv sonv , 4 o use of calcium arsenate is stionr'vrecommended, says Prof. Connu'i, c.lthough calcium arsenate ha ro ? greater arsenic content thr.n paiis \ green and white arsenic of the i e earlier day. Poisoning in the heavi;;/ infested, high yielding l:nd will < f very great hoi]) in producing a co4torf crop, provided the poirening done properly, hut regardlosr of the amount of poisoning one inter Is o do, it is ur.'rc Mhat everv f '.rr or stand }>} his crop one! give it bet attention than ever before. Poisoning can never be depended upon to secure a cotton crop, un'ess tb" r',yton is in good land and a svstem of good farm management. * I o :? The Old HvmnH. ' (By Frank L.'Stanton, in the Atlanta Constitution.) , There's lots of music in 'em?the humns of long ago, And when some gray-haired brother sings the ones I used to know I sorter want to take a hand?I think of days gone by? "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wistful eye!" There's lots of music in 'em?those dear, sweet hymns of old, With vision bright of lands of liy:ht and shining streets of gold; And I hear 'em ringing?singiig where Memory dreaming stands, "From Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strands." They seem to sing forever of holieu, sweetet days, When the lilies of the love , of God bloomed white in all the ways; And I want to hear their music from the old-time meetin's rise Till "I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies." We never needed sin gin' books in them old days?we knew The words, the tunes of every one? the dear old hymn l>ook through! We didn't have no trumpets then, no organs built for show, We only sang to praise the Lord "trom .whom all blessings flow." An' so I love the good old hymns and when my time shall come? Before the light has left me, and my , singing lips are dumb? If I can hear 'em sing them, then III pass without a sigh To "Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possessions lie." ?o- -?
