But some one may sa, I have no money to inyest. y There are more things than ] noney to be invested. in btiild ing a town. Perhaps you have talent to ir lay. plans for the permanent di improvement of the town. Some have the talent to lay the plans; f others can carry the plans into effect. It was said of one of our leading men not long ago w that he was the greatest man i among us to devise great enter- bi prises for the benefit of our t, country, but that he could not put any of the plans into effect. w Now, perhaps we have some p one among us who can blan to st build up our town. If so, get li to work and give us the plan, tj and we will go on the hunt for some one to put it into effect. Here is one plan we suggest: P You all have interest. Tnvest your interest and influence in a building up the town. Talk it up. Speak well of the town an&.. what nature has done for . Us, acing us here at the foot li of the Blue Ridge. w Standing on Main street on a bi clear day and looking west- ft ward, you have one of the - grandest and most inspiring hi views that one can have in this sE country. No artist could paint v a picture half so beautiful as the mountains in the winter covered with snow, ledge or range after range rising one above the other, until snow and g: sky seems to come together. In w ser we have fine invig- a: ~tiair, We have buildings ~that wo d look well in any city. A court house far superior to ol many of our larger towns. One V of the most handsome church hi buildings in the up-country; ~ educated consecrated men ofh God as our pastors; among the largest and best equipped n stores, splendid physicians, one u of the strongest banks in the T state; as good hotel and private i boarding house as can be found anywhere.

Our banks are among the best. ti Our citizenship large. wholesoul,h generous. Among them cul tur- hi ed, refined, talen.ed. In fact our town is entitled to be known by the name giyen to it by the a brilliant orator. Hon. J. E. 01 Boggs, in a speech some years a ago-"The Pearl of the Pied- tc mont." Let us all go to talking up our town, don't talk it down. T The citizen who can't see any in good in his town ought to move tt out, and give room for someonem who does love his town. Our d observation has been that a fel- d Iow who is always finding fault et A~Wth liis church or town is not tt worthy of a place in eithcr.

One of the best definitions we ive seen of a "progressie" is tat recently given by Life, to e effect that a progressive is ie who is farther advanced this lemnly. After being polled ar than he was last year. So e would say that a progressive rmer is one who is' oing better farm gthis vear than he did last ar or year before. The Dro essive farmer is the farmer ho is making progress-learn g more about his work and ing it better. We know men who haye good xrms, good livest ock, big barns. os, improved machinery and ho raise good crops, who are )t progressive farmeis simply Tcause they are actually re oressive-are going back ard, letting their soil get less -oductive, allowinig their live ock to run down, giving such 3tle thought and judgment to eir busines ; that with all their vantages they do not make it ty. We know farmers, too who e comparatively poor men, hose farms are not in good ape or well equipped, whose estock are not of the best, hose methods are often faulty it who are really progressive rmers because they are learn )w to do better farming and to cure more of the things for hich men labor. It is in farmers of this class tat we pla e our faith, and it r them that we edit The Pro ~essive Farmer. The farmer o believes he can do better id is willing to try-he is the an upon whom the progress agriculture depends. rhether rich or poor, whether .s farm is a model or just be nning to 'look up," whether i goes steadily on to success or akes many blunders and fail es, he is a man 'who counts. here is hope for him, almost te assurance of a biight future. .e is the sort of man we want our Family and the sort of an the country needs. For the man who thinks he ows all there is to know about .rming, or who does not believe Lat he can do any better than Shas been doing, there is little pe of better things. He will backward instead of forward id, whatever advantages and )portunities he may have, be hindrance rather than a help the cause of farming. Be a progressive farmer. hiat is the only kind worth be g, and every farmer can be at kind. No matter how uch you may fall short of )ing wxhat you would like, you .n at least do a little better an you have been doing. nd as long as one is iearning ore and doing better, it is well ith him.-The Progressive fer to the tradiug public i ig ) advan'itages.

Wilkins. appeared in the Baptist Courier of two weeks ago. Mr. Taylor has visited his son in Pickens many times and was well known here. We are indebted -to the Bap tist Courier for the picture here with shown.-Ed.) Here is a remarkable picture be cause of what it represents. See an aged gentlcman sitting be fore nine boys, about eight to ten years old. He is the Sunday school teacher sitting with the boys under the trees near Tay lors Baptist church. The full class is fourteen. This vener able in in of God has been teach ing a similar class at this place every Sunday for more than thirty years. He is now in his his ninetieth year, born June, 1823. What a beautiful, signi ficant, thrilling sight is he in the presence of the boys sitting on a long bench! And this for nearly a third of a century, every L-)rd's day when the weather permits Hundreds of boys have thus through the years come under his elevating, nspiring influence and instruec tion. From these sonme eight young men have gone into the Baptist ministry. The wvriter, who has been preacingw for the hurch more thani a year. close ly associated with Brother Tay lor, has heard him say of one or another of these men: "IIe went from my bench." Yet one should never imagine there was any spirit of egotism or boasting. Not at all, for he is an earnest, humble, faithful. yet cheerful, child of God, settingA before the worli an example of faith and love worthy of imita tion. On Sunday, the 29th of Sep tember, 1912, while confined to the room unable to go to his class, the old gentleman sent for them to come to his room that e might talk to and pray with them. As his custom was he asked them to repeat with him his word of prayer. At the close he saw tears in the ey es of some. Speaking of -it to his pastor he said:" When I see this. I kno w something good is going on." The earlier part of Brother laylor's life was spent at Chick Springs. a mile from the village of Talors. At the age of twen tv-seven or twenty-eight h e joined the Baptist church, and at once put his active, egergetic broghout the PIED)MONS elarge andl var.iedl, which .posdl of the leading mnerch ivoring to conlvince the trad( its namfedl below, and on pm S~ within a radius'of forty in =====FIR Royal.

Throughout his long life he has been a man of great activity. equally interested in secular af fairs, education, and religion. For years he was half owner of Ihe Chick Springs hotel; he owned a nd managed a saw-mill; gave men employment in cut ting wood and crossties for the railroad, especially during the leisure months; practiced dent istry for some years, going from home two weeks at a time; be. sides he was always interested in farming. His religious life was always earnest and con stant. He was ready to advance money when a house of worship was to be built, and he gave lib er 1ly himself. His interest in Sunday school work has been deep. In the sixties and seven ties he often went to Sunday school "celebrations," taking a load of persons in his stage-like vehicle, sometimes beyond the county line. His uniform inter est in public improvements has been unabated. tRecenty he gave the right of way through his land to the Greenville, Spar tanburg & Anderson Railway Compiany. Thus he spent most of his long, eventful life in useful ways of various kinds, both privaite and public. It was he-who gave name to the station and village where he lives. He wvas twice m'arried and is the father of eiht children. four by each marriage His second wife died some y-ears ago, andl one of his sons and family are making a (ielihtful home for him. It is al ways a pleasure to me to meet him in the hospitable home and' at the church. I have found him excellent company, ever kindly thoughtful and encour agingly cheerful. I count it a fortunate thing that I have known him so well and inti mately. He is esteemed highly as a good, useful man by all the community. May the rich grace of God be with him to the end. A. C.
