A COUNTRY TRIP.
Condition of Panning Lands Kneouraglng
to a lielioUler.
A short trip to the upper purt of
the county b few days ago was en
couraging to a man who seldom sees
the fields. We saw that the fields
where wheat and oats had been
planted showed that the land had
been thoroughly prepared with im
proved implements and that the grain
had been put in with drills. The
farms have all been terraced, the
terraces are in good shape and the
improved conditions of the farms were
apparent on all sides. On many
farms repairs are being made on
buildings and new ones being built.
On account of the severe weather
but little plowing has been done for
the next crop, but what has been
done was with big turn plows, and the
unplowed fields show that the last
crops were carefully and thoroughly
cultivated.
Wnat we saw impressed us with the
great progress that is being made in
the method? of the farmers in the
section we were in, and the improve
ments that have been and are being
made in the lands and the great pos
sibilities which these improvements
made manifest. They showed that
the soil of Cherokee lands cun be
made to produce a good crop every
year, and its fertility so increased
that it wili make a better one th ? next.
When our farmers find out that the
improvement of their lands is one of
their most important jobs, and that
their lands and this climate will not
make eight cent cotton for them at a
profit, then they will take to the ce
reals forage crops and stock raising,
conditionsjwhich make lands grow rich
places an abundance of home raised
food in [the country, fill homes with
comforts and happiness and evince
an intelligence that the country
should be proud of. Then will Cher
okee begin to attain what slu ce capa
ble of being and be in the h ,;a nich
where her natural resource! her lo
cation and surroundings indi Lte she
should be
The Editor’** Jot>.
Editing a paper is a nice job. If
we publish jokes, people will say we
are rattled brained; if we don’t we
are an old fossil. If we publish origi
nal matter, they say we don’t give
enough selection; if we give selec
tions, they say we are too busy to
write. If we do not go to church we
are gheathane; if we do we are hypo
crites. If we remain in the office, we
ought to get out snd hustle for locals;
if we go out, we are not attending to
our business. If we wear old clothes
they laugh at us; if we wear good
clothes they say we have a pull.

The Southern Manufacturing and

its plant now and will soon be in full
operation. Gaffney ought to be
proud of this new enterprise as it is
the only one in the south. In a few
more years Gaffney will be one of the
leading manufacturing towns in the
south. If Gaffney's business men
would go to work and erect a street

What is the difference between
selling whiskey and cigarettes? It is
just as much sin to sell cigarettes as
it is to sell whiskey, for the cigarette
smoker is taking his’own life every
time he smokes, and the tobacco
manufacturers are getting rich sell
ing them. It is just as much sin to
smoke a cigarette as it is to take a
drink of whiskey. Young men and
boys should take warning before it is
too late. Beware of cigarettes.

Retailers do not have the chance to urge forethoughful women to buy wash
goods in January for June. Every impulse of practical economy suggests the
course. The holiday tumult has quieted, the winter wardrobe is complete, home-
sewers know the comfort of plying the needle when the weather is cool, and mo-
dists, during the dull season’s lull are more than willing to scale their charges
comparatively low in order to keep busy.
Bui if no other reason existed the beauty of the fabrics, their crisp freshness
and delightful newness would incline you to make selections now.
January Sale at WHITE GOODS.
We bought a large quantity of beautiful laces and embroideries from an im
porter who was anxious to get rid of them before taking inventory. We paid a
remarkably low price for them, so low that we are able to sell them to you at
prices that will surprise you.
Our stock has been added to in many departments since January 1 st. Come
to see us, we will make it to your interest to buy. Glad to show you through.

To be plain with you, our fall purchases were larger than they should have been. We anticipated

with more goods on hand than we ever had.
