NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Every young man should start out j
in !ifo with two purposes in view: j
One the building of an honorable char-:
acter, and the other the successful
prosecution of some business.

The way to do a thing is to get at
it. All the theorizing in the world
will not accomplish anything. Action
is the only thing that accomplishes
results. So if you expect to do any
thing don't lose time talking about it.

.Mr. “K.”, 1 noticed in the Ledger
where you stated you would refrain
from saying anything further on the
acrer.ge reduction subject. Well, it
is ail right. When 1 began writing
it was not my intention to get into a
controversy with any one. But as
you began it 1 could not afford to
draw out and play shut-mouth. I do
not have any idea but that you were
tel i g l it' truth about the reduction
over there, and so was I telling the
truth. ! have stated that there would
be no reduction, but by the will of
God there will be. But it is contrary
to the will of the farmers. But they
cannot help themselves. Mr. “K.,” we
must come together on this subject,
as you st ited in your first letter, for
now we are all going to have to reduce.

Good Health
to the
Children
Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

New Trial Refused.
Tuesday morning in Columbia a
n otion *o v a. new trial in the suit of
Farrington against Gideon, was re
fused by Judge Carey. This was a suit
brought by a negro, London Ha'-ting-
ton. against M. B. Gideon, a consta
ble, on the ground of assault during
a seizure made by the constables
some time last year. The suit was
for So'io, the amount of the constable’s
bond, and the jury brought in a ver
dict in favor of the constable. Tues
day morning the motion was made for
the new trial and in the course of
his argument, Mr. Hunter Gibbes,
counsel for the plaintiff, read a para-
graph from a morning newspaper com-
menting upon the verdict. Judge Ca-
rey at once ruled this out and refused
the motion.

(Yorkville Enquirer.)
Worlf, on the big hotel at Piedmont
Springs is being pushed as rapidly as
possible, and the building will prob
ably be ready for the public by the
~ f . July. The contractor says he
will be ready by the first of June;
but people of the neighborhood think
ho b- a little too sanguine. The hotel
is to have forty rooms, and there is
reason to believe that., it will be filled
within a very short time alter the

A test is being made of sprinkling

Blood poison creeps up towards the

poison, healed the wound, and saved
