Yesterday Mlrundy voted. But so fur I haven't noted Thnt she'? sprouted any whiskers or adopted trouBcrcttes; And she hasn't Indlcnted Since she got emancipated That she means to start out raiding with a bunch of suffragettes. Took her half an hour to do lt, And as soon au she was through lt, Sho weut hustling homo without n stop to scrub the pantry floor; Cooked the dinner, did aomo baking, Trimmed a drcsB that BIH: was mak ing. Mended socks and got the Ironing all dono by hair-past four. She appears to bc ns able To keep victuals on tho table And to keef tho moths from feeding on my go-to-meeting coat Just as handy with the b.iby (Or a little moro so. maybe) - As bho wan before they told her wo man ought to have thc vote. Fur as I've observed Mlrandy. Shn is JiiHt as fond ot cundy And as keen to read the faahlonn ?nd the dally household hints As before she was my "equal." And-however strange fhn sequel I've been Just a trifle prouder of Ml randy ever Hinco! -W. Keo Maxwell, In Judge. THEY AHE GOING AHEAD. Greenville County ls going ahead with plane for taking up thc matter of paved roads. Richland County is doing the same. -Union and Ander son Counties are not going to have much belter roads next winter than they havo been having for (he past decade or tho past ten decades. The delegations In Richland and Crcin ville Counties onacted Into luw bond issues for road work. Union and An den m Counties left thc matter to a vote of the people. We have always ntood for the people and for their having a voice In such affairs, but If thia kind of contrast ls going to be kesjt up, tl n there will soon be a demand for legislation which will give Union and Anderson Counties just aa good roads aa Richland and Grocn 'vllle Countlca are to have. If tho popular form ?>r government ls to laet in this country, the people munt inf orr* themselves and be prepared to take advanced steps and perform progressive!work. Of course they are waking opwH^Qbre'wlii soon ho a demand for^?ood roads In Anderson and Union Counties, but In tho me?n Umo Richland and Greenville Coun ties will be ton years ahead.' Thc elections were' lost and now it the popular form of submitting such mat ters to the people la. to live, thon it were well that those who are Demo cratic, or In favor ot-this volee of the fJeople. and wo all are, to bestir themselves and become aa progressive as the few who are responsible for the good roads to be built la Rich land and Greenville Counties. Whore are the good roads advo cates ia Andereon County, and what do they propose to do to gtvo the people of this county aa good roads as neighboring counties have? A Bl'HBENEII PEOPLE. According to a count mudo in thu library of congress recently our fed cral and state legislatures paused 62,? 014 statutes during Ibo liv? years from 1909 to 19l;i Inclusive. Even greater than HIIH multiplicity of laws was th? vust mass of decisions of court of last assort, federal and State, which during lite same live ye irs reached tho enormoiiH total of ti.r>,?~9 and now lill 630 volumes. Anti yet ignorance of the law-in a thousand voltintcH-docs not excuse, lu our day of statute muklng by thc rupid-llrc process, Thomas Joffurson would have found greater season than ever for delating that thc country ls governed best that ls governed least, and for opposing a multiplicity of laws. Not ttu> least discouraging feat ure of lt all is that our states men of the "ultra-progressive" va riety have countless invasions nf th?' citizens' rights. If our laws arc legion nov/, what ls to bc expected when, in times tn come, women uro sent to legislative bodies hy their balloting shiers ami < u thusiasllcally apply themselves lo lite fuHcnalitig business of piling up the statutes. Their efforts to make mm over and thrust Into him a thousand virtues hy means of the policeman's Inh, seem to he ominously fore shadowed by Mrs. Pankhurst's con fession that women want the ballot in I order lo "make men chaste." lt may he confidently expected that women, moro than men. will become addicted j to (he habit of making new laws aimed nt every evil or Inconvciolfce ?in sight, thus lidding enormously to the great mass of statutOH which without, previous discussion and ? ril i ' cisni of the proper kind-have boon enacted in huste, only to lie repealed or forgotten as dead let tem. MANNISH RI?HT A?'\l... i Governor Manning Is eminently cor rect in his advice to Ute county dis pensers to allow their HtockH of liquors to run low, on account of tho election to ho held in the fall on tho matter of Slate wide prohibition. lt is n practical suggestion, and one which will save tho counties many thousands of dollars, for the Slate is as ?ure to go dry as the election is held. The sentiment of South Curo IImi is overwhelmingly for prohibi tion, and the suggestion hy tho gov ernor is timely and show:; his ( lear ?md thoughtful grasp of local condi tions. A FINE EOITION.

The Progressive Farmer has a very timely and thoughtful editorial in this week's paper on the subject of tho at mospheric fertilizers which aro avail able to tho progressive farmer. If those who grow things on farms were to utilize all thiH available fertilizer from thu sir there would not be the necessity for buying BO much of tho expensive commercial brands: Thu Progressive Fnruior says: Scientists toll us that above ovary acre of land there is, reckoned at present prices, $11,000,000 worth of atmospheric nitrogen. At this rate the man with a hundred-acre farm has $1,100,000,000 worth, or enough to build two Panama Canals and have enough left to build a dozen modern huit lesli ids; enough to supply every man. woman and child In the United States with $11 each; or enough to a little more than half pay for our an nual whiskey and tobacco bill. Aro you uping this, wealth? Are you changing lt from an inert, unused possibility into a liquid aaset? Are you turning Into real money a goodly share or these potential millions? Both foreign and' American manu facturers aro how, by the uso of pow erful electric currents, combining this tree atmospheric h.'Vngen with cer tain materials sad t\us rendering lt avallr-Me as a plant food. This is a great discovery; but for plain Farmer Jones wo dont see anything as yet to compare with Nature's way. which la through the bacterio that live In the little knots or nodules on the roots of peas, beans and the various clovers. From Soptembor to April ls a period when our landa are usually Idle; moreover, lt ls a period when they aro too often washing away. But these busy HtUo bacteria, working on the roots of bur and crimson clover and the vetches, are putting a new face op. the soil fertility problem. No longer have ire any business buying nitrogen in bags, when wo can get lt tree with a lot ot humus to boot. If yon doubt this, turn under a crop of clover 'er vetch this spring and follow it with corn. It we're not mis taken you'll be surprised at the yield HiHt com will muk?'. and thc way lt will stand drouth will bring Joy to your heart in these days of high-pric ed feed. Hut clovera and vetches arc not lin1 only plants whose roots furnish hontes for our bacterial h< ncfactoru. ('owpcus, peanuts, soy beans, velvet beuna and lespcde&a likewise are nitrogen gatherers, and no Southern farm that ru i summer does not util ize those to tho utmost will be living up to Its opportunities.

Knell of those lynchers ls not less deserving of death than is Leo Frank, the convicted Atlanta murderer. The supremo court of the United States has decided that Kr mk was not tho victim of unjust treatment by thc (jeorgia courts. Thc highest court in tho land now stands between the Georgia courts and the efforts of a number of newspapers to mob them, so to say. with abuse. The supreme court of thc United States hus declined to permit the group of New York newspapers to usurp the province of the Atlanta jury. The vindication of Georgia Justice ls in this ease complete.
