It etxends to the distinct ive classes of the two separate races, each of whom has, and always will have, its own well defined boundaries. We allude to the social gtherings so common at this day.

Take for instance the following, which is as true as gospel: “Bills have been introduced in the South Carolina legislature to abolish the dispensary. This will hardly be done now, but the great moral institu tion is doomed—that seems certain, and the sooner South Carolina repu diates it the better it will be for the State.” * * * Senator Latimer made a speech be fore the National Good Roads Asso ciation at Jacksonville, Fla., last Fri day, and was given an ovation. Mr. Latimer has not been able to accom plish a great deal towards having good roads built but we trust he will not tire of talking along that line until he has enlisted the support of others and does accomplish something. We know that some know-alls will dispute the claim, but we have no hesitency In saying that should Mr. Latimer suc ceed in securing governmental aid to good roads he will have done more for the people than all other states men this country ever produced. He will not have set the world afire with his oratory but he will have done something practicable that is something practical that is home. He says Dr. Crawford’s son William was a powerful hunter, and one time he had six dogs. He had one named “Drive” that was the lead dog. Then there were Muse and Lead and Fife and Rattler and Streak. “Them hounds were good for anything in the! world you sot them after. They were! good for a squirrel, good for a fox. | good for a possum, and a coon! Don’t talk! All a coon had to do was to jist set his foot on the ground one time, j He mout then take a tree jist as soon as he got ready. He was theirn. | They’d run a nigger yit. They was good as bloodhounds after a nigger. | Folks used to, when their niggers would run away, come for miles to get Marse William to take them dogs and run them in for ’em. And they cotch three or four. Every time Marse Wil liam went a huntin’ he all’us took a whole crowd of us darkies long with him. There was some mighty big trees down there, and me and Joe al iens took two axes and both chopped. Doctor had a young nigger fellow named Charles. He was sorter yaller. He was the beatenest nigger to run a- way I ever seed. Jist as soon as warm weather come, Charles was in the woods, and there he’d stay, some times till most frost. Marse William would want to git the dogs after him, hut the Doctor wouldn’t let him. One lime Marse Williams called us all out on' night and said, ‘Let’s go a coon hum in.’ We struck out down towards the creek. Wo didn’t go mighty fur from the house when we heard old Drive bawl, most like a horn blowin’. Next we heard Muse give a yelp, and then Lead, and on that way till all got there .and they all split out, and us a hollerin’. Down i that hill, ’cross the branch, up the. holler, into the piney old fields, ’cross | the c<-tton patch, into the big woods, | and on towards the canebrakes. ’Round and ’round, through the swamp I for about two hours, and us after them. Rob was totin’ the light and fell into the creek and put every bit of the light out. ’Way afterwhile we heard the dogs tree. We went to them. They had him up a limby sane desire to do something that will. sweetgum, the dogs jist rearin’ all attract attention that makes them as around it. Old Drive would take a dangerous in the halls of legislation as nmnin go and climb a way up the ,, , , . ix. tree, high as your head, like a cat. ■would be a monkey in a powder house < * j Hicks says he broadcasted all of ins manure last year, that it will pay to broadcast even if you have but little. He is a great believer in peas as a fertilizer, and also as a forage crop, mixed with sorghum. He says it pays to use improved machinery on the farm and keeps your plows mov ing. He sells ins cotton as fast as attend a social gathering at her home at a certain time. She puts herself to the trouble and expenses of prepar ing for them in order to give her guests a nice time. Everything goes well until the last hour, when she finds that she has overdone her work. Through some agency for which she is not responsible the word gets out it is picked. He thinks he clears. ,nd the house is crowded wdh a bone- ben e- Citizon Josh Ashley, of Anderson, has introduced a bill to demolish the department of agriculture and immi gration, and the bill has been reported favorably by the committee on agri culture. Confound these political far mers! Some of them sense enough to know what is for the country, or if they have sense enough they haven’t patriotism enough to act according to their sense. It’s the in- more money by selling then than he would by holding for better prices, as he gets green weight. He got 9% to 10 cents for his cotton this year. Mr. Hicks raises cattle and hogs. He thinks it pays better to have improved stock, even if they are higher priced, than it does to have scrub stock. Mrs. Hicks raises a great many chick ens and turkeys for the market. She says she makes more from her eggs than anything else, usually selling from 150 to 200 dozen a year, rarely getting below 12)2 cents. She keeps only one breed of chickens so as to be sure she keeps them pure bred. She can command the highest prices for her chickens. She says she sells five to ten pounds of butter per week. She says she can furnish her table and clothe her family with her butter and eggs and then have some to spare . How many more of the good wives will help the farmers by look ing after the poultry, cows or pigs, as the case may be? Another one of our successful corn farmers is Mr. George Spake, of Ezell. Mr. Spake does not live on a water course and his farm is all on upland. We do not know the num ber of bushels of corn he made, hut we know he made his crib full and always has corn to sell, if anyone has. In speaking of his corn, Mr. Spake said: “I always thought it took rain to make corn, but this year I found out corn would make without rain. (It was very dry through this sec tion.) Just fix your land well and crowd of uninvited, if not objection- able, guests. Her sense of propriety and ladylike gentility prompts her to extend to these, also, an apparent welcome which is all that they want. She can’t afford to be rude in her own house towards them, however chagrined at her disappointment: and the result is her specially in vited guests are the victims of this unsolicited intrusion. The games, plays, pleasures or pastimes set for the evening are now in order, and before one 'can realize the true situation of affairs a dudish, drunken rough, with perhaps a bottle of whiskey, a deck of cards or a pis tol (if not all these) in his pocket, springs to his feet and asks Miss Smith, who is, perhaps, the central figure of the occassion, to join him in the play. No one can realize the em barrassment of the young lady. She must either reject his offer with a firmness of resolution that will sub ject her to an unfriendly and unjust criticism or accept it with a grace un becoming her dignity and self-respect, and, in less time than it takes to tell i , she is whirling through the mazy ( tnce on the arm of a man whom she would be ashamed to even speak to o 1 the streets of Gaffney or else- vliere. The situation of the other girls is not immune to the same hu miliation. Miss Jones is paralyzed with disappointment. How is she to relieve the situation? She cannot afford to be rude in her own house, or even seem to be. She remembrs with a red hot poker . Why Mr. Ash ley or anyone else should desire to abolish an office that has done more within the eight months of its exist ence to advertise and develop the State than any other office in the gov ernment, is difficult to understand. If Mr. Ashley will kill the whiskey traffic and bring worthy citizens to re side in our midst he will have per formed a service to his State and re flected credit upon himself and his constituents. We are inclined to think that some one ought to introduce a bill to prohibit a notoriety-seeker taking his seat in the legislature or re duce the representation of a county that persists in electing one to that body. We trust no one will construe this paragraph as a reflection upon the farmer in politics. We didn’t mean that when we said political farmers, but we meant the fellow that never did work on a farm who would play to the galleries by voting for a bill which he c’aims to be in the interest of the farmer, when, in truth, he knows It is directly against him.

Holding Cotton. Cherokee R. F. D. xNo. 3.—The farm ers in this part of the county have not burned any cotton yet, nor do we think they will resort to such ex treme measures. Still (here is a good deal of cotton yet unsold. Farmers are more stirred up about, the low price of cotton than we have ever seen them. Some advocate one thing and some another. The majority say, “Hold your cotton and reduce the acreage.” That is all right if a man is out of debt, but what is a poor fel low to do who has not yet paid for his lien or guano, and his merchant is needing his money? What can he do but sacrifice his hard earnings? We do not believe in trusts or monop olies, but we do believe that in sea sons like this farmers ought to unite and help each other. For instance, let those who have the means advance a certain per cent, and take the cotton for security, and when the prices reach a certain point agreed upon sell and deduct the sum advanced with a low rate of interest, nay the remainder to the farmer, who ing this country together; it is the old-time people who are life to the youth of today. This holds good with the whites and the blacks of this Southland. It is indeed very fitting at this point to say that the branch never runs higher than the spring. The old people are the springs and the young people are indeed the branches, and the reader may here read between the lines. Every man’s examples should he so as to be wor thy of being copied by all those who may follow him, and especially is this true when it pertains to the moral and religious welfare of the whole peo ple and the uplifting of humanity and civilization. The above characteris tics all focalize themselves in the per son of Mr. E. M. Ellison and make him stand head and shoulders above bis modern brethren, for which we, the colored people of Blacksburg and of the Cherokee township .cannot find language to thank him and all of those who contributed to the match less ex-slave dinner, and which was so greatly enjoyed by all. F. imagines that at this very moment some Christian fathers or mothers are on their knees, with clasped hands and faces turned heavenward, asking God to ludp them to bring their children up “in His nurture and admonition.” For the first time in life she feels the chalice of “social equality” press ed to her lips. It’s filled with a mix ture of morals rather than a mixture of human races. No, “social equality” is not con fined alone to the amalgamation of the races—“nigger” and white man. It scoops in with its poisonous fangs the pure and the impure of both races whenever and wherever his Satanic majesty has the opportunity to carry out his schemes. Whenever a person enters the so cial circle he is neither above the highest nor beneath the lowest. Con structively he is on the same plane "ith the fraternity, let its caste be what it may. His opinion of himself rroes for naught with his confeder ates, except to bring him into con tempt. That “birds of a feather flock together” is an axiom none can suc cessfully deny.

If you reprimand me for extravagance, my impulse is to fuss with the first person i meet. If I have been out calling an ! return home late to dinner. I feel very much inclined to rate you for coming home so early. I’ve watch ed this same trait in the children. When I scold Alice, she always finds occasion to shake Maud on the sly.
