A pull right away and a pull altogether would insure tho build ing of a cotton mill at Pickens help the town and country won derfully. * * * If you haven't been to the Ex position, go 110W. The mouth o May is Charleston's own holid, period, And besidos, the exposi tion is at its best. July "Fourth" will bo Friday a most aceoptablo (ay to ho sel apart for the festivities of our peo ple who will thol havo abou reached a point, in the season's work when they will feel liko taking some rolaxaction aid enjoying the novel pleasures such at) occasionl nnlight be made to bring to all. 0 * v It is just about this season overy year-the tillm when niearly a!l tihe cr'ops need vorking-that planters realize ti hey hayogenorally overcroppod their forces, and cn 1nt (10 full j ustico in sason to II their many duties. But the old saying that a Crop well )laitod is half made hol d prettQy generally t rile. *) * * h'llo promotion of small iidlus tries inans growth in trade, tIe advertiseliit of a plaeo and leads to the estaliislimnuit of larger coi cerns lltiinately. It takes iuiited ef fort to acconmlisli nyt i ing great and good, and never is thorI room, nor nef-d ther be excuso in any town, for huindranrcos in the form of small persoial dIifourences and bi ekerinI)gs, Without conust ant watch fulness, this lazy season will bring ho'me to vou the same tundancios you so much loatho to see in some others. So keep .u1) a constant watchful noss and don't blame too severely your neighbor who gives you occa sional fidgets because he doesn't always move at a pace to suit youm own impatient inclinations. WC say you may also, sometime, in plain English, get lazy yourself, After all that's said and done the Pickens Railroad is goin~ ahead, serving the people, building up the country and p)rovin~g itsel one of the factors ini the positivt growth of this sectioil, anid more over a convenience that could no he dispensed with, not -only b2 pe~ople in~ the town of Pickeins bu by the prosperous country whicl llupports it and nnos.'e mnterestsi su bserves. To~ sone xtent the road prob lemn has been solved. Since th rain let up the roads have im proved b~ut the ruts and holes ar still there. The County Commbl Bioners have about the biggest jo on their hands, that ever COmnmii sioners had and, in their own bei ways, they are workmg all th~ timeo to bring about theo reliefs th public dlemand has suggested l most pressing. Tfhe ofliceoOf ti: Commissioner of Public Roads not an easy place te fill and ti opinion is growing that those of core are about the hardest work, and the p~oorest paid in the cou ty. Supp)oso somle of thme bnsine men of Pickons call a meeting f the plurposo of organizing an bringing to a successful end a gel uine ''Fourth of July'' celebrati( -one that will mean somlethir for every visitor and participanm and such an affair as will mOe something for Piokens. This wi take a little money, some organiz tion and a great deal of work L someobody. The beet plan is to 01 Kanise for the undertaking an having effected an organisatio wisely, let the coemmittees intrus Led with the various featureg c the Program get earnestly to worki 1Mfforts like the one suggested here in bring good results, if Properi' ananaged. They brn happinee wd solid enjoyment to nearl everybody and they show a pabli spirit uzi the peoplo endorsing an promoting them that is quite onm tinendable. Let's have the oelebrau tion and let it be *ne Worthy c fPickens county and one in whi all the people will will fool an IL terett and so feelixg help to mnp it.what it QPeIn tO ta Along about now is the time the dollar begins to look the size of the moon-and almost as scarce. When Pickois county completes a nOw jail she will have done some thing to her credit in the opinion of coisiderato people. Now that the convention has I been held, politics may be expect- i ed to take definite shape, and the L candidates get on the hustle. A few dolars invested in real e estate in Pickons county have t been known to prove good invest- a menuts. T1hore was nover a botter a time than now to mako imonoy af- t ter this imlothod.a Of all the really enjoyable gath erings iothing excels tho meetings in May whon tho 1)eoplo, under the inspiration of deoiit pirposes, assemble for sincero worship and mix and mingle in perfoot conifrot to experience what philosophitic writers have agreed to call sym pathetic campani->nship. The heavy hail reported from the westeri section of Pickens c county no doubt brought discour agemeit to somo of the people who p sullered most from its effects, but a little time will show the recupora Live qualityof the injured crops and 1) probably the had effects will not t be apparent a fow veeks hence. d d COtton factories are foctors in the development of the south and the wholo Union looks this way for great things with expectancy. e E"I'ery good town in tho south can have a mill provided the people go I to work to got it in the proper spi rit. In this matter, Pickens town ought not to b3 laggard or indifTerent. If there are not sufli- I Cient funds available at home, I there is capital offering from abroad . And a cotton mill in Pickens would ieatin growth assur ed. Every subscriber to "Ths Jour nal" should feel at liberty to offor suggestions and to contribute such articles as are calculated to be of benefit to the reading public. We only regret we have is that limited space does not alwvays allow a prompt and full presentations of all the worthy contributions we would like to give. But better facilities will be at our disposal shortly by which it shall ho our purpose to make this newspaper a better and more acceptable medium for publishing the knews and~ the interchange of ideas calculated to help the people. And in this movemrent for the general good,I we wvant the support of every cor Srespondent along with the always appreciated assistance of every Sthoughtful reader who appreciates the special effort. 'It is evident that ClemsonCollege a needs some kind of overhauliog. *Whather the boys, constituting the e late sophomore class in that in Sstitution, are altogether right or b not, one cannot readl the story of Sthe late trouble at Clemson with it out being impressed with the idea e tha something it radically wrong e with the Clemson faculty. Tio e some extent, andl perhaps entirely, 0 the boys are justifible ini their ui '8 ted action,but it cannot be said~ that ze their action was wholly for their -~ own 1,est interest or that, without dl qua~lification, theih course was en~ ni- tirely free from all blame. There is something wrong in this instit ution wvhen, with all the d1iscipline orary goverinont can provide, a aclass of about seventy stud1ents with practical unanmmity march m" out in open defiance of supposed iauthority, yet with perfect order tand with no demonstrations cal 'oulated to mark then as a mob turned loose, exhibiting only tbat Sdetermination which ha. shown Ythat their purposes wore to act so as to vindicate the stanid they had taken and that a reasonably just 'stand. It is altogether an uin fortunate ocurrence, and slack dis ciphnue seems to have brought this unexpected result, but as to this the Clemson authorities have had ~ample warnings from former exper ieeu. The boys cannot be expect. ed to stand just any kmnd of treati ment. Theoy deserve to be treated as g entlemen.~ -Wheni the vast timber interests 'in Piocens county are developed a and more lands are opened up for Clltaio anid move poople come county will be about the boet coun ty in upper South Carolina.

It gets the famer into dairying which practically takes no fertility fronm the~ farm, but will always im prove it.
