We are glad to see that Pick ens county lastsweek received $1400 from stat e for rural graded shools in this county, to be dis tributed among the schools as follows: Zion, $200; Farr's, $200; Dacusville, $300; Gates, $200; Oolenoy, $300; Montvale, $200. There are at least twelve other districts in Pickens county which should be on this list at the be ginning of the next scholastic year. The state has adopted the prin ciple of helping those who try to heptemselves, and the last legslaureprovided ample funds for helping those rural school districts which vote a special levy of four mills to establish rural graded schools. The Pick ens county delegation worked faithfully for rural schools and were successful in their efforts. With the county and state now helping to build suitable houses every'district should take advantage of their opoortunity. Hats| ustseceiv- a l6te line of a styles inll ~s.

A great many people are com plaining about the increasing number of whiskey letters or cir culars going through the mails and are wondering where the dealers get so many names,savs the Anderson Daily Mail. Not infrequently, wd are informed, as many as three or four letters from as many different houses are received by some people in. one day. Becoming disgusted with them, a little girl of this city, little Miss Ruth Bouchillon, a few days ago wrote the follow ing letter to a certain house who, it seems, persisted in sending her father a great many letters. The letter is as follows: "Dear Sir:-I am a little girl just ten years old and T want you to stop sending my papa liquor letters, because I want im to go to heaven, and von. o; buf ygighve sold so much trf"ondannot get there. Now. I want you to quit it. If you want to go to the bad place you nee& not try to -csarrd I 1f one else with you. I want you to quit writing to us, for papa is not going to order it and ou are wasting your stamps and time, for we put your letters in the fire as soon as we get them. You know the Bible says no drunkard shall enter heaven That means no seller can enter there, either. The devil prom ses you big money if you will sell the' people whiskey. The Lord says what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul. "I hope and trust ,the Lord when you get this letter you will chance your way of living. "RUTH BoucmLLoN, "704 Tribble street, "Anderson, S. C." Visiting in Oconee County. Messrs. J. E. Medlin and AlIon zo Edens have recently returned from Oconee county, where they went to survey a tract ,of landi in which Mr. Medlin is in terested. While away Mr. Med lin visited his father, Mr. S.

Mr. Murphy is a good farmer and states that he has a fine small grain crop and expects to get two bales of cotton per acre this year. Mr. Medlin says Mr. Murphy has not forgotten how to sing, and when e met him he was leading a class in singing at a neigh bor's home. Mr. Medlin also visited his. brother, V. S. Medlin, who is now living in the Ebenezer sec-= tion of Oconee county. He states that he is doing well and has one of the finest cabbage crops e has ever seen.

Silage made of corn and soy beans 1s more digestible than that made from corn alone. In hot weather, renew the water for poultry two or three times a day and keep it in shade. Onions make a good tonic for poul try of all ages. Cut them up In the mash occasionally. Cows have peculiarities that should be studied, and met as nearly as pos sible by the feeder. If the geese are, hiding their eggs, watch them early in the forenoon, the time of day they lay. Be careful with the mares in foal, and don't let them slip down nor hold heavy loads down hill Wire strainers get only part of the dirt out of milk. Several thicknesses of cheesecloth are better. The Dumber of chicks brought to the frying stage is what really counts -not the number hatched. Don't keep unsightly or crippled chickens, even though- they have been valuable birds in their day. The Ayrshire and Guernsey types of dairy cattle are increasing'in favor in the middle western states. Dry mash, charcoal and grit can be fed in a box covered with balf-Inch poultry netting, without waste. Use insect powder freely on the sit ting'hen and her nest. Nothing wor ries a sitting hen more than lice. Cream should have a uniform con sistency as well as being of uniformn ripeness when it goes into the churn. As soon as it can be had give the hens some good fresh loam. If the sods are with the earth so much the better. Properly conducted the poultry busi ness will give a fair profit, steady work and a good living for the aver age man. The silo today furnishes the most economical, the safest and the best means of storing the corn crop for edin puan .e The Piedmont Magazine for April The April number of The Pied mont Magazine will soon be is sued and should ppove doubly interesting to people of fickens county.

He was eight years sodipftor of the Tenth circuit and acieved quite a reputation, not only'sx . lawyer, but as an orator.
