Every day is a new chance
given you by God. A new
chance, a new loaf, a new life.
This is the golden, the unspeak
able gift which each new day
offers you.-Farrar.
Pickens County Ahead.
Is it true .that according to
population Pickons c o u ii t y
stands ahead of all other coun
ties of the state in enrollment in
our schools? If so, should we
not be proud of the fact, and
should we not bend every energy
of our being to keel) ahea(t and
to distance all others? If the
statement is true, why is it true?
Many other counties are much
more able in a financial way;
many other counties have wetter
school buildings than we have;
other counties have as good
teachers as we have. Why
then, we ask again, are we
leading? We suggest that it
must be because we have the
most wide awake superinten
dent of education. There is no
question but what that has a
good deal to do with the wonder
fuil progress we have made and
are still making.
Prof. R. T. Halluni is a live
man. lie believes in whatever
your hands find to do, (o it with
your might.
Our public schools must be
better supported, They must
have better houses. better equip
ments, more money, etc. If
the appropriations to state
schools have to he cut we must
have more money for our com
mon schools. There is no jus
tice in the world in taxing our
people to make large appropria
tions to state schools and leave
our common schools to starve,
We must educate the masse:
and the masses will never go t(
college. WT therefore owe it t<
the masses of the country t<
give thenm the very best schooL
possible.
Let us look after the conmmon
schools.
That Tr'i-County Fair.
What about that tri-county
fair the Keowee Courier men
tioned last fall? It looks like
Pickens county will have a fair
at Easloy next fall. Why not
Anderson andl Oconee counnties
join us at Easley this year and
start the tri-county fair? These
three counties can have a fair
which could not be surpassed by
any other three counties in the
South.
For Home and Nation.
(By S. L. Gibson.)
If some unkind word or feeling
Overtakes you through the day,
Do not bear it home at evening,
Leave it someOwhere on the way.
Little chii ldren)'s ears mnight hear
you,
Trender eyes mlight see you
frown,
Home is built for love and
laughter,
'Tis noe place to be cast down.
Hearthstones are the nation's
forges,
Characters are moulded there
To lift or' raze the civic standard;
Do your best to for'm with care
Hearts wvhich God has to you
given;
.Put no faulty metals in,
And give the world souls to be
honored,
God-like models, free from sin;
Bo, brother, when you start at
-evening
* ~ Toward~s the ones who love you
best,
Leave your troubles far behind
God and home will bring you
rest.

in torrents, and the 01(d log be

he could not get out. All his

him. Suddenly he remembered

"Make the South a Land of
Painted Farm Houses."
The Progressive Farmer, one
of our best farm papers, says:
We haven't lost one bit of in
terest in our campaign to "make
the South a land of painted
farmhouses." We must come
to it. If paint didn't help the
wood at all, but only made the
buildings look brighter, cheer
fuller, happier, more progres
sive, thifty, "more as if real
folks li ed there," it would even
then pay, and pay handsomely,
to paint eyery farm building.
In fact, we have- an idea that
the increased good cheer, enter
prise, and self confidence that a
family will get from living in a
painted house will alone pay
for the cost of painting in a
single ear's time. But more
than tp, the paint adds to the
life of the lumber so greatly,
and lumber is now so costly,
that it is a genuine economy to
use paint-not only on the home
itself, but also on the outbuild
ings!and on all the farm tools and
machinery. In a recent notable
book, "New Lives for Old,"
William Carleton gives this
story of how he painted an old
farmhouse-and it is an exper
ience many a Progressive Farm
or reader could duplicate. Says
Mr. Catleton:
"The very first- coat brought
the old house to life. It's won
derful what paint will do. It
didn't make the house look new
in the sense of making it appear
like a house of today, but rath
er carried it back to its youth.
It was like making an old man
young again. We could hardly
wait for the paint to dry before
starting the second coat, and
that carried us back another
twenty-five years. Even Seth,
who at the start had allowed
that the old shack wasn't worth
repairing, admitted n'ow that it
began to look real nifty.
"And the inside looked as fine
as the outside. When we be
g n, the woodwork was dis
colored both oy age and dirt,
This made the whole Interior
look worse than a cheap tene
ment, Twenty dollars worth of
white lead and oil changed this
as tho by magic into a clear
white, as fresh as when thc
house was first built. There i;
nothing which shows age more
than paint, and there's nothing
so easily remedied. If the own
ers had done what I had alreada
done, they would have madi
almost 300 per cent. intercst o
their investment. In thre<
weeks, at a cost of $400, I hat
added $1,500 in value to th<
place. And it was a legitimate
value. Myr paint hadn't cover.
ed up defects; it had siniply
brought out the honest worth of
the structure."
A Pup and a Child.
If a man had a fifty dollar
ipup he would look after it care
fully and not let it have the
run of the town dlay and night.
But if he has a child it is differ
ent. They are turned loose at
a tender age to go where they
will and do what they please.
People wonder where the great
army of tramps, dead heats,
gamblers and disreputable wo
men come from. They are ger
minated from the seed gathered
in countless homes and sown
broadcast upon the streets of
the cities and towns. There are
thousands of children who are
heading In that direction, who,
as far as care is concerned, are
not given eqal sho wing with a
valuable pup.-Exchange.
Death of Mr. W. M. Hester.
After an illness of several
months Mr. WV. M. Hester died
at his home on Buncomb~e road1
near the American Spinning
Co., Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock. -He had been in ill
health for over a year and his
(loath was not unexpected.
His death brings sorrow to a
large number of friends and
relatives and neighbors for he
was loved and respected by all
who knew him.

Pickens county near Dacusvllle

Missa Elizabeth Rackley. With
her he is survived by ten chil

F. H. Dominick for Congress.
The Anderson Intelligencer
announces with glowing head
lines that "Col. Fred H. Domi
nick," will be a candidate for
Oongress to succeed "Wyatt
Aiken."
This is not the first glowing
headline candidate that the
Iutelligencer has placed on the
turf as a sure winner, and with
what success, the public have
each time had a say. Somehow
Wyatt Aiken is still at his post,
doing his duty in the same old
way, looking after the humblest
of his constituents, with that
same fidelity that has marked
his course in Congress since the
first day he took the oath of
office.
Of course there are those who
want his place, as there have
been, each succeeding two years
since his election, but there al
ways seem to have been a good
wholesome majority willing to
continue in office the man who
has neglected no duty, and who
has stood for the interests of
the people against corporate
.greed. He is just the same
plain Wyatt Aiken, honest,
straight, uncompromising in
party principle and thoughtful
of his constituents, whether for
or against him. He 'knows the
people and the people know
him; at any rate, they don't
appear, in the past, to have
taken their lesson from the per
sonal prejudice of any man or
set of men. (Adv.)
