Lards of thanks iub lislhed for orte-half etlat a word. Willard seemed to be Jess right. What Moran needed was a meat-axe. Some of our exchanges are referring to him as General Perishing! We have a growing suspicion that General Villa will not die of old age. That Omaha politician who claims; that Mr. Bryan is not a Democratshould read up. The next stop will be All Fool's day. The kiddies will remind you of it at the proper time. 'Twould be a sad day for Villa if our Terrible Teddy lived at El Paso instead of at Oyster Bay. Amundsen is going to make another hunt for the North Pole. What's the use? Didn't Dock Cook find it first? We thought it was getting about time for a Greenville policeman to shoot! .somebody, and sure enough last week one shot a negro man. When legislatorsistep in and say what sort of advertising matter the newspa pers shall carry, it's about time for the newspapers to step o(ut or abolish the legislators. Some writer says: "G1 to a friend for advice, to a stranger for charity, and to a relative for nothing." And ten to one you will be accommodated at all three places. The large number of disastrous fires recently in large cities and small towns calls to mind more forcibly the fact that Pickens needs some protec tion against fire. We received a new exchange last week, The Jeffersonian-not.Tom Wat son'F, but Tom F. McNalley's, who gets out a bright little weekly paper at Jef ferson, Chesterfield county. ."What shall it profit Roosevelt if he wins the nomiation and then loses the nomimation?" asks the Anderson Mail. But think what a "bully" time Teddy will have blackguarding the other can (ldiates! Mr. Bryan, as delegate-at-large from Nebraska to the Democratic national, convention, says heo is for Woodrow Wilson for the nomination, and that there will be no other name before the convention. So it's to be a tame affair, after' all. We do not like to be inquisitive at all, but we would like to know what luck Bob c;onzales had on his recent hunting trip). The Greenville Piedmont .inti mates that craps was the biggest game1 he shot, while others say he killed sev eral quarts. Hardly a day palsses that The Obser ver dloes not get deadhead stuff enough, tunder the guise of "'news,"' to fill his entire p~aper. Tfhe .senders probably think newspaper people live on air and sleep on a clothesline. -Newberry Ob server. What the Observer says could be truthfully said of practically every, weekly newspaper in the state. It I keeps a man busy separating the dead head stuff from news which will be of mnterest to the people. .We've got a grouch on and have a' right to. It ain't been more than six months since Hagood Bruce won two' bits off'n us acet. them last world's series b. b. games, and right here on top of that we have to buy him a choc olate milk acct. that blamed prize fight.' if that ain't aetreak of hard luck and enough to give a iellow a grouch we' $ ' don't know what is and we don't care ,ether this paragrap)h is good English. erli oig home and eat some Rexall Ova WEEKLY RtIDDLE.-Why should women make better firemen than men?I Because they are accustomed to the -ueof longer hose.

We thought that th government belonged to the people, waj run by the people in the interest of al the people. We thought that ever. citizen had a perfect right to run foi any office in the gift of the people if he desires to do so, provided he had the wherewith all to defray his part of the expenses of the campaign? And yet when a gentleman by the name of R,A. Cooper of Laurens County at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of good citizens and voters of the State announced that he will be in the race for Gov. the news papers raise a howl and say he ought not to run against. Gov. Manning, that it had been our custom to give a man a second term. If you strictly ad here to that custom, is it democracy? Why not go to work and make this of fice of Gov 4 years instead of 2 Mr. Cooper has a perfect right to run for the office he is a man of lawful age and under the tongue of good report, and there are thousands of voters in the state who believe that he can, and will be elected and when he is Gov. will be as good a Chief Magistrate as the Old Palmetto state or any other state ever had. If Gov. Manning can make enough voters believe that he ought to have a second term we are democrats and are willing to abide the decision of the people at the ballot, box, but we insist that every citizen who desire to run for office has the right to do so. But in the case of Mr. Cooper he would not' have made this race at this time, but for the urgency of his friends all over the state, he feels like it is in an swer to the call of duty, and to dis charge ones duty is an honor higher than to fill any office. VOTER. Breezy Pumpkintown Notes Rev. Mr. Smith preached at Oolenoy Sunday afternoon, March 19. As is usually the case with farmers, .ve are all behind---the plow. Automobiles are a nuisance to pedes .rians. Not long ago we walking leis irely along the road, when honk! honk! tame from just behind us. Then, after o'e had nearly broken our neck getting aut of the wvay, the bally thing turned aff and sped away in a different direc tion from the one in which we were going. The rascall Kisses are ripe in Oolenoy; or at least those girls we saw kiss each other there didn't make wry faces at 'em. There's a paper published in North Carolina called "The Yellow Jacket." We remember digging up a nest full of them varmints once. Yes, we remem ber it, all right. CDtIC.

John F. Harris and son, Roscoe, wil leave Friday for Plainville, Ga., wher they will make their future home ani where Mr. Harris will enter the mer cantile business. Plainville is fiftee: miles from Rome, Ga. Mr. Harrig came to Pickens from Rutherford cotin ty, N. C., seventeen years ago an since that time has been one of the most prominent citizens of this county. He was in the mercantile business here for eight years, has served as magis trate, alderman and mayor of Pickens, ,has been on the board of stewards of the Pickens Methodist church for the past several years and is treasurer of that church. He is also a prominent Mason of high degree, K. of P. and Red Man and has held offices in all of these organizations. For the past sev eral years he has been interested in the real estate business. He has sold out some of his business interests in Pick ens, but retains some of his valuable real estate holdings. Mr. Harris and his son have many friends in this coun ty who regret their departure from among us and who wish them the test of everything in their new home. The county board of equalization met in the auditor's office Saturday and passed on the work of the township boards of assessors. No change was made in the assessments of- property exdept in the case of the banks whose assessment was reduced from 50 per cent on capital, undivided profits - and surplus to 33 1-3 per cent on the same. If this assessment stands, the cpunty tax on the banks will be the smallest it has been in many years. Year before last the tax was 60 per cent of the cap ital stock of banks, and the surplus was not taxed. You Can't Tell By the Color or Size of a Frog The number of feet he can jump.
