The weather has been remarkably propitious for the past month. Frost has been delayed at least three weo«cs longer than usual, and the cotton crop in this section is practically gathered. While the yield is short the rise >n the prices goes far to wards compensating for the de ficiency. We understand also that cotton seed are bringing twenty cents a bushel. This makes a bale of cot ton with the seed worth somewhere about iJUO—equal to ten cents a pound for cotton in former times when the seed were thrown away. The fine weather has also given op portunity for the proper curing of the fodder and the saving of immense quantities of hay, and it is safe to say that there is a greater abundance of hay and fodder of tine quality in the barns of Cherokee county than has been before within the memory of anybody now living. This will bo an abiding source of help, comfort, satisfaction, and profit, in carrying t he horses, mules, and cows through the winter. With a barn full of sweet-scented hay and fodder and a crib full of sound, well filled corn from his own tieids, the funner may laugh at want and smoke his pipe in peace before a roaring log fire, while the winter winds iiowl thc-ir mournful music around his home. Then the turnip crop has come on magnificently, and many large fields are already green with wheat and oats, a delight to the eye as the leaves of the trees are falling and the Howers of tiie yard and garden are fading. From all that we can learn, we think that the farmers arc waking up to the importance of wheat and are preparing for it on a big scale. This is a movement in the right di rection, too long delayed. A large ''’&CI£‘ , ge well prepared and sown with wheat will cw they will bring pure home-raised bread with independence and luxury. Let the good work go on. The morn ing light is breaking and the outlook is full of promise. the meantime, if they have any now ones to prefer, wo hold ourself in readiness to give them a respectful hearing. ♦ ♦ It seems that we are approaching a period of unusually grand celestial phenomena. Besides the meteoric shower promised about the middle of November, there is to bo a total eclipse of the sun at Athens, (Ja., on the 28th of next May, and astrono mers from all parts of the world are getting ready to be at Athens on that day to take a part in the per formances. Owing to the very small area of country over which the eclipse is total, it is to any one place an exceedingly rare occurrence. Perhaps no one now living in this part of the world lias ever seen a total eclipse of the sun. We think we have seen it stated that there has not been one in the city of London in five hundred years. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg Herald persists in its claim that our remarks im plied that Prof. Johnson did not tell the truth when he reported to Gov ernor McSweeny that he had been compelled to turn away 200 appli cants for entrance into Winthrop College. Now, we do not know what hidden relations the mind of the Herald is accustomed to -trace be tween the expressed and the implied —the seen and the unseen—but we can say in all candor that we never once doubted the accuracy of that report. If wo had entertained a doubt of its truthfulness, we should not-Lave asked for an explanation of subsequent transactions; for that very doubt would fn*YO furnished the explanation. We wonder if the Herald can see through this. A from Air. Mox*. DeakFkiexd:—My mission is to help destroy the works of the devil and get every child to go to Sunday school and learn how to accept Christ and live a Christian life, and all grown people to accept Christ and join some church and live a Christian life so they all can shun hell and gain heaven. If you wish to help me accomplish my mission, you can do so in any way you wish, I will thank you, and and God will bless you. If you can not buy a book or paper or give money give what you can, your prayers and influence. It does seem to me that if men and women can go to a circus which is al ways in a tent or to see a game of baseball, or football, or a bicycle race, or stand on the street to sec a performance or medicine sold, or a street narade and pay for it and spend their mo^ey for tobacco, whiskey, beer and dime novels and worldly newspapers, they might do the same to hear the gospel preached and religious books and papers. J4- JJiere were a hyena in my A HARD WON BET. Cnrrylnir Four Ilrlrk* Ilnlf a Mile !• .Not an F.u«» Tank. “The hardest won bet I ever made,” remarked Uu; traveling man as lie shook the ashes off his cigar, “was to carry four bricks half a mile. That sounds like a simple thing to do, doesn’t it? Well, you try it and you will find out whether It Is or not. Of course the manner of carrying the bricks is important. A man bet mo that I couldn't carry two bricks In each hand from where we were back to the hotel and put them up on the bur. The bricks were to be put side by side and grasped, two in each hand, between the thumb and fingers, the Ungers pointing down. I was not allowed to stop and rest, nor to put the bricks down. “Well, thought I, that’s $2 easily earned, so I took the bet and started. For a quarter of the distance it was easy and I already felt those two sil ver dollars in my pocket. But then my fingers began to grow tired. The mus cles between my forefingers and thumbs were soon aching terribly. My arms began to pain me and to throb like mad. I found myself setting my teeth together and the cords in my neck were in a high state of tension. When I came within a hundred yards * f the hotel there w r as scarcely an inch In my whole body that w r as not aching as if I had been stuck full of pins. “I don’t know how I managed to go that last little distance. I could no longer stand erect, and I was trembling like a leaf, and yet the other fellow was alongside, laughing as If to split his sides. And when I got Into the bar room, it w r ns all I could do to raise first one hand and then the other and put the bricks on the counter. I know that I couldn’t have gone 50 feet farther. I got the $2, but the next day I could scarcely move, and I didn’t get over the soreness for a week. It looks easy, but just you try it.”—Detroit Free Press. tHE DOORBELL. A WAKNINIi. The fire on the morning of the 27th inst., which consumed Mr. B. A. Holmes’ house and furniture and which came very near consuming Mr. R. M. Gaffney’s residence, was but a little foretaste of what will happen some of these days or nights, if the people of the town do not aw-ake to a realization of their danger. Y*’e are told that on this occasion there were absolutely no means at hand with which to combat the fiames. In the excitement and con fusion of the moment, it was natural that the means extemporized should be crude and ill directed. At such times organization and discipline are everything. The wild, misdirected efforts of an excited crowd can ac complish little more than to break up furniture and add to the general confusion. Gaftney needs a fire organization, and there is no reason why she should not have one and that im mediately. There are numbers of active young men in the town who would volunteer to serve in such an organization and who would cheer fully give the time necessary to drill and training. It is true that the waterworks are nearing completion, and when they are put into operation, it is expected that the danger from fire will be greatly diminished. But the water system c&nnot possibly at this time extend to all parts of the town, and even in those parts reached by it, the hydrants will need to be intelli gently and skillfully manipulated in order to avail much in case of a fire. The organization will still be needed. Will not some of the enterprising young men of the town look after this matter. J. N. Lipscomb would be a good man to take hold of it. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Our reply to the Spartanburg Her ald and the ^ orkville Enquirer last week was written and in type before wo hud the privilege of reading the criticisms of The State. As we think, in that reply, we fully antici pated the remarks of The State, we do not deem it necessary to give them further attention. We con sider that we have fully vindicated ourself against the charges made by our honored contemporaries, but in stroyTrfg the peopleMW"the saloons and dispensaries are doing in towns and cities that they are in and a yel low, suck-egg dog was to come and try to run him out I would pat him on the head and bid him God-speed if I did not have a place for him to sleep or a crust of bread or a bone to gnaw.

It Telia What Manner of Man Yon Are by Yonr Rtugr. Doorbells are pretty fair Indicators of character. Probably you have not been conscious of it, but every time you pull a doorbell you register what manner of man you are. Your ring will not tell everything about you, from the color of your eyes to your taste in flowers, but to those who know the signs the doorbell Is as good as a title page. Any one who has had occasion to answer bell pulls knows how much difference there Is in them. One per son’s method varies little from time to time, though the difference between that method and somebody else’s, while slight, will be sufficiently well marked. It is seldom that two rings are exactly alike. The housewife recognizes each, the Impatient man, who pulls the bell twice in quick succession and does not wait long before trying It again; the one of more phlegmatic temperament, whose ring is slower and more sub stantial; the hesitating woman, who draws the knob out in a suceessioq^jf** the east nervous jerks; the seedy ljj(J(^ ua i with matches to sell, the wire carefjj^yfa and G}£lfc- , ‘3l5ows it to „,, u „ ^iJttlf^apologetic tinkle, and the jolly friend, who knows he is welcome, and therefore grasps the knob with a hear ty swing that is fairly eloquent with good nature, and sets the bell to shak ing its sides with such peals of echo ing laughter that It positively cannot stop at once, but subsides gradually with a merry, Irrepressible little titter. A doorbell has as many voices as vis itors.—Berlin (Md.) Herald. Uo stretches Its full length to relax with a A Tough Bantam. A letter in a Glasgow paper records a phenomenon much too remarkable to be reserved for Scottish consump tion. The writer says: “An acquaint ance of mine, who lives up north, has among others of the feathered tribe a little bantam cock. A few weeks ago he noticed that it was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with a canine friend, but did not ex amine it closely till his mother’s and sisters’ vociferations brought him in a hurry. There was the bantam pick ing away at corn, but the corn was dropping from a rent In the bird’s chest Just as fast ns it was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend got a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with the result that the bird now is as good as new.” To Teat Wall Papers. Arsenic Is very often present In the pigment used for wall papers, and ns every one knows, If one covers one’s walls with a paper containing deadly poison one’s health must suffer. It is Important, therefore, to select wall pa pers which do not contain arsenic, and the method of testing them Is simple in the extreme. Take a piece of the paper and light it, and if arsenic be present you will notice an odor like that of garlic. Do not Inhale the smoke. An other way of testing the paper is to pour over it a little diluted hydrochlor ic acid. If the greens In the pattern become blue In this treatment It Is be cause they contain arsenic.—Home Notes.

Near Love’s Spring, Oct. 29, 1899. Mr. Editor;—As I have a few mo ments to spare this tyeautiful evening I will write you a few lines. Sick ness in this section seems now to be abating; it claimed, however, before abating, Mrs. Julia J. Smith, a most estimable lady, as its victim. She died on the 10th ult. after several days of most painful suffering. We are sorry to learn that Aunt Cassie Wilkins is still in feeble health; others of her family are doing well. The crop gathering season with most farmers here is nearly over and wheat sowing is beginning in earnest. The outlook is that a larger amount will be sown in this community than has been in several seasons. Corn in one respect is much better than it was last year; it is much sounder and of finer quality. A good quan tity of pea vine hay and corn fodder has been saved, so in many respects we consider the farmers in this com munity better prepared for fhe winter and another crop year than they have been for several years. The painful intelligence has just reached mo by letter that my young est brother, B. F. Davis, was brutally murdered on the IGth inst. I have no particulars of the sad affair so far, but will give them to you when I re ceive them. His home was in Elgin, Texas. All people here are nearly ready for the opening of the public schools of the county, and some of our friends seem to under estimate the office or duty of county trustees in selecting teachers for the schools, and blame attaches perhaps to these officers when it should not; because these officers are selected by the county superintendent with groat care, and then their names are submitted by him to the board whose duty it is to examine all applicants for schools, as teachers, and to pass upon ail names submitted to them by him for the office of trustee. No doubt but that our superintendent uses his best judg ment based upon the best informa tion he can obtain as to the fitness of every appointee as trustee in the county. In view of these facts it seems to me that patrons make great mistakes in hesitating to give any teacher a fair trial who may have been placed, by authority of trus tees, in charge of their schools, al though as a matter of choice they may prefer some other. A lady teacher from Sumter, I understand, will begin teaching the 80th inst. at Love’s Spring school house. This does not mean that there was any unkind feeling or treatment of my self as a teacher over there by pa trons or trustees. On the contrary all their dealings with me and treat ment of me were of the warmest and most generous kind, and I assure them all that it is with feelings of consideejiLle regret that I move to a ^Tfield. I shall open up school on side of Broad river, near Blacksburg, in school district No. 8, local name “Oak Grove.” The secret of my going over there from Love’s Spring is that the trustees over there kindly i%ide some better provision for me in salary than was offered me elsewhere. Perhaps I may find something to write you from Oak Grove when 1 have looked around awhile. L. B. D. Wasliiui; Woolen ItlankeU. The theory now is that blankets must be washed instead of dry cleaned to be healthy. To have your blankets soft as new, make a soapy suds in a half-tub of warm water by using one-half cup of Gold Dust Washing Powder, and soak a blanket in it for half an hour; then simply move it around, and rub soiled spots; rinse in warm water, same tempera ture as the one in which you wash it, and hang up in a warm place or sun shiny out-door air, unci see what a soft white blanket you will have.
