No, but we know a rich one who has a nice, big, juicy pile of rocks. Next Tuesday is the anniversary of the destruction of the battleshiplMaine in Havana. harbor, February 15, 1898, and which precipitated the Spanish American war. Someone is eternally working agin us men. Now the General Federation of Women's Clubs of America has decreed that the girls shall wear them there split waists no more! Anderson Mail says Carranza and Villa have not been using aeroplanes and submarines, and that is to their credit. But they have been "getting there" just the same. The fact that Wall Street and Big Business generally is opposed to having Mr. Brandies a member of the supreme court is in itself the best reason on earth why he should be there. Trhe page in Torn Watson's Jeff'er sonian on which comment appears of the appointment of a Jew 'to the su preme court bench is said to have been printedl on asbestos last week. Did it ever occur to you that there are more automobiles in the county to (lay than there wvere buggies fifty years ago?---Anderson Daily Mail. Y'ep; more unp~aid dlebts and mortgages, too.

They destroy the, boll weevil and the boll weevil destroys the cotton plant. The pest is on its way to South Caro lina nowv. The boll weevil is a slow traveler, hut it arrives all too soon. Of course we greatly appreciate being. nominated by Booker of the Spartan burg Journal for a place on the tariff commission at $12,000 a year. .But to accepit the pilace just at this time would be too much of a sacrifice' for us to make and feel right about it. Mr. Groundhog didnl't see his shadow on the second instunt in these parts. Therefore, according to groundhog lore, winter is over and those who believe in the critter as a weather prophet can pr-epare for an early spring. But do not Diace too much confidence in hinm, as he has often fooled us. A young New York man says it's all wrong, doctors-that you can't catch the grip by kissing the girls. And to back up his assertion he says he will kiss .11 the pretty girls that may come his wAy without fear of getting inioculated with the grip germ.

An article that yousee adverIsed continuously appeals to you. Your' food sense tells you that it must be tiilit, else it could not remain on the nark4f. And. What advertising is ton Indid'Ial article it is to a business in stitution. Advertising draws 'trade to a stor4. If that store continues to ad vertise, it is satisfying its customnere. No business cap 4mount to much with aut advertising, ~nor ipdanavertising do business any good unless that business lives up to its advertis'ementi. Here, then, is plainly s'en.

We could not enjoy riding around a seeing hard-working and honest n t whom we owed money, having to waik . vhen we were riding at their expense.,. We fall to see what good it would do for the legislature to pass a law making the legal rate of interest in this state 6 per cent. unless the law would be en forced. We believe the legal rate in this state now is 8 per cent., but some of the banks do not seem to pay any attention to it and the law is daily vio lated. By the way, why doesn't Gov ernor Manning ask the legislature for $50,000 or so to enforce the usury law? Fat chance he would have of getting it, tho. We know one member of the leg islature who is a director of a bank which charges 10 per cent. interest reg ularly and sometimes 13 and 15 per cent.
