The thing that goes the farthest to ward making life worth while That costs the least and does the most, is Jue! a pleasant smile The smile that bubbles from tbe heart that loves its fellow men Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again. It's full4of vgprth and goodness, too. with manly kindness blent; It's worth a million dollars and it doesn't cost a cent. There la no room for sadness when t we seo a cherry smile, It always has the same good look lt's never out. of style; It' nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue Such dimples- of encouragement are good for me and you. So smile away; folks understand what by a smile is meant It's worth a million dollars and lt doesn't cost a, cent. -La Junta (Colo.) Republican. 'OOOOOOOOOOOOQOOOOOO m OUR DAILY POEM. o 0 o ooooooooooooooooooo KI SM KT That which I most desired appeared to me As In a vision; and In esctasy 1 stretched impetuous hands to draw it near. And safe Bccure it, lest it disappear, lt was the very Mecca of my soul. And dear as life itself. It was my whole Ambition; and I could not. quiet, wait To Che whats should be given me by Pate. But she, grim goddess, spoke in tones austrere: 'Wherefore sb eager? Not one whit more near Canst thou, by striving, bring the smallest part Of this, thc dream beloved of thy heart." Whereat I mourned my helplessness, and cried: "Can I do nothing? Must I -stand asido, Idle and impotent, while before my eyes. . , But out ot reach, my cherished treas ure Iles?" And Pate replied more gently, "Who can tell? Be comforted; for naught in Heaven or holl. No power' that is on earth, in .land or sea. Can e'er divert what ls thine own from thee. "Thy destiny its changeless course pursues. Thou. hast, or ha?*, not; It ls written. Muse On this-'tia better so-and there fore cease Thy futile struggles, Wait-abd be at peace!" -'Beatrlco 'Barry, in New York Time. A PARALLEL, ^^^HHNa^Sjlsth?'.mrpo pay four-fifths or "lore of the taxes of Richland. Columbia contains a majority of th? white voters of Richland. , country people of snob Muda and Berkeley in WkWHSor reason nf thc fact lies contain no elty^ taffeuaY'~*3b town of so many ari a thousand inhabitants? The rural parts of a county con taining a city of. large population and taxable values are peculiarly fortu nate. Oup-~??? Andrew Carnegie should offer to Saiuda County to pay nine parts cf the annus: interest on a mil Hoc and a quarter dollars to I expended on one hundred and twenty five miles or more of Saluda County wads If the people of the county would pay one part of lt, would any body lo. Saluda County object? The road bond Issue, so far as Col ambla and rural Richland are concerned, ,1s pretty much a parallel O M, Y TWO MORE PAYS. Only two inor??^ day* remain after tili? IK read, before tbc fate of the road bond issue will be lu the banda of the voters.. W> are told thut lt Will be killed! and'rtrfybe'it will. The people have tbe rlf-ht to kill it or to make it ulive. Il would he a miracle if it were to carry, with the Indiffer ent altitude of its friends, und the uciivlly of Hs enemies. Nothing bus been done to create or mould senti ment favorable to the bond issue by its friends and little surprise should be felt, therefore, if it is defeated by a big majority. The Intelligencer would like to see lt carry, and we be lieve it will be a Iii? mistake to kill it. and that to do so will be to set buck the good roads work in the county at least a decade. .'"ut we are not so sure that the bond Issue ia going to lie killed. We have heard of many sections where the good roads sentiment is strong, and where there ure more persons favoring than are opposed to the measure. Likewise we have benni of sections where the .sentiment ls as strong against lt. Those who are to vote for the measure are not doing as much talking ns are those who will oppose lt. and it ls thus hard to find out the-real sentiment of the people. Indifference will be the greatest drawback", and many persons who are interested in good roads will stay away from the polls and will not vote. The Intelligencer would urge all voters to turn out and < it a vote, either for or against the pro posed bond iBsue. Otherwise "you will not count in shaping the policy of the county. South Carolina is watching the re sult of the election Tuesday, and it will speak volumes when the news Is flashed over the State that Anderson County has carried or killed the bond Issue. MUN. LEK'S AHUrMENT. We wish the men of the county who have the. privilege of voting next Tuesday ns to whether or not the cout.'.y shall have good roads, made by wholesale i v ni eu us of a bond Is sue, could get the viewpoint of Mrs. Rebecca R. Leo, when she pleads for tho bond Issue ns a woman, and as a woman suggests a means for paying for the bond issue. She Bhows how vory easy it would bc to pay the nec essary extra tax by allotting that privilege to thc''old Heh bn the place. An egg a day for a year would be 30 dosen, which at 20 cents a dozen would pay the extra tax for a farmer who returns for taxation property to tho value of $2,000.. And this is a high valuation for the property own ers of thc county. Another good point'by Mrs. Lee, is that when the renter, tiring ot for ever paying rent and never owning MB home, buys some land on a credit, and while enjoying it pays for it, even though it takes a series of years. This Is Just what the man who wants good roads now, w?H be doing. He will be enjoying them while paying for them. Thia ls good business too, for there aro many farmers who own their own homes, who, if they had had to walt till they got together all tho money for buying their land and building their homes, would never have known the pleasure of owning a home of their own. Many a county afraid to vote the necessary money to build a good road, will never have tho pleasure of owning a'good road To'en joy driving or hauling over. This, la one time we. wish we had woman's suffrage, for Mrs;T<ce says the women are tho greatest suffer ers from poor roads. They not only are tho physic?! sufferers but they are also mental sufferers by being shut up nnd .having thus to lead lone ly and unsocial lives. If the women could vote, wo feel sure they would put the old dominick hens in Ander son County to Work paying the taxes on the bond issue, and they would have good roads tq haul the eggs to town to sell.

AND KANSAS. - Kansas . IH held up as a model for prohlbithm, and Just now mindi thought is being given to the results as announced from this Stat?'. Col liers fiuotes from a writer who is giving Iiis experience as a travelling man in the State of Kansas. It is woriii thinking about, and will tend to show the value of State-wide pro hibition, und letter of nation-wide prohibition. This is surely coming und soon, or the sign? of the times are wrong and meaningless. The quotation ls: There isn't much poverty In Kan sas, and the, kfnd ot* misery that the liquor States abound In is un known from Newton to Hutchinson, dlucusstng lt. "Since Kunsas went dry," one said, "I make thes% little towns and sell a lot of stuff. Couldn't touch 'em before. And If towns that size were In a wet State. I'd lose my job for stopping off at 'em." "Same willi me," the other sold, who "represented" an adding-machlnc house. "These dry State beef mighty little when business is bad in other parts of the country. I'll bet New York'll go dry before long." And Collier's comments: All the wails of the booze angels who howl about blind pig?, wood al cohol, and allied topics can not alter the main fucts. The saloon does not get the money under prohibition. In time the liquor habit ls broken, and as tiiat happens booze ceases to be an issue and people turn to better ways o? living. MKS. STONEWALL JACKSON'S DEATH. That the widow of Stonewall Jack- \ son has gone to join her husband "across the river in the shade of the trees" seems not so Impressive, though death is always impressive to ns who still live, as that here lu 1915 there still lived the woman whose ' young life was wedded to that of the 1 great ? ?nfederate commander. Yt/ a few dayc and she would have seen i he fifty-second anniversary of that day in May when the real victor of Chancellorsville submitted patiently to the soldier's fate and died a victim- ? bf bullets-not fired by an enemy. Thomas Jonathan Jackson married Mary Morrison in July. 1857. For three und a half years they were per mitted the normal quiet domestic life, while he was occupied af a teacher at the Virginia Military institute. On April 21, 1861, however. Jackson was ordered to report at Richmond with his corps ot cadets and soon he was a division commander, causing con sternation to the Invaders of Virginia whenever ne moved with Iiis "foot cavalry." , JHIs extraordinary career was destined to last only two years, and on May 10, 1863. one week after being mortally wounded by tho fire of his own pickets, be passed ff-u amid the full tide of war. Thus nt thirty-two Mary Morrison Jackson, after leas than six years companion - 'ship with him us his loyal and well [ beloved wife, found herself widowed In the coBtlioat single sacrifice of life suffered by the Confederacy. Tbat month of May, 1863, seems far away. In a distant past ot terrible but fading memories. Yet the wife of St on J wall Jackson was still with her people till yesterday. Almost lt seems startling. Death that demand ed him untimely seemed reluctant t?? summon her till tho uttermost span permitted to mortality had been granted her. And now at last the years that" -parted th fin are ended. May the great soldier and she whom he loved join hands once more In tho country where there .ia no war. Spartanburg Journal. ? CROSS, FEVERISH CHILD IS BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED Look?
