The old proverb or ax iom: ‘Tig a very bad thing that has mo good at all in it.” This cap he re versed with the same amount of rea eon. It must be a very good thing tluU hag no evil in it. . In many cases high price cotton has made common laborers, who have no other capital UMn their labor, so independent that tbmv don’t feel like working as long aa they can keep trom it. And in an! a few cases can we cite Instances where the tenant is more irdepend- eal than the landlord, for the time being at lost, and in the majority of •aeet the present is all such people think of. A few years ago seven or eight aellars per month, with board, was eeosidered a good price for labor the vear round. Now it is fu.ly fifty per eent higher and the cost of living hasn't materially increased. So here in where the laborer has the advant age over his employer. But notwith standing it ail we are in favor of farmers getting good prices for their cetkon. if it works a hardship it is oa themselves. Airs. C. A. Sparks, of Pacolet Mills, writing from her home at that place, says they are a.l well pleased wita their new home. Their chi.dren are in school and they have a good HChool. too. This is encouraging news. Mr. and Mrs. Sparks are de voted parents and the raising and '•'acating of their children is what they are living for. We wish we oould trutbfu.ly say as much for some others that we know of. The rain came Monday morning and put a stop to outdoor work. Report comes trom Patierson 8»rings, N.

Christmas will be here in two weeks from today, and people will fijend it according to their several tastes and inclinations. It’s a most opportune time to make /•ar less fortunate neighbor feel hap py by sonu* act of kindness or hospi tality. If the money spent for 11- qaor and ammunition was used to laed and dotho the orphans and help less ones whose only dependence Is apon public charity, the donors weuld fee] happy, not only for the 4ay but for the whole of the coming vaar. If they shoqld live through it. Bat oven if Bphrlam is Joined to his idols, the orphans and dependent ones will be taken care of and the world will wag in the even tenor of its way, while some of us will neither be missed nor remembered, only for our ingratitude and selfishness. Would that the following lines were the sentiments of every reader: Help me to feel another’s woe; To hide the faults I see; What mercy I to others show That mercy show to me. Messrs. P. S. and Lowry Webber are laying in their tricks for the Christmas trade. Mr. Webber has a full stock of rough jokes on hand, that he dispen ses of when occasion requires. Some tidies ho shoots them off and makes neople feel cheap. If he doesn’t mind he will be lynched some of these times. We would hate for such a fate to befall him for such a trivial offense. Watch out, Bro Webber. Some cruel poet has got off this couplet: Whistling girls and crowing hens Always come to some bad ends. Mr. Alecb Parker has a set of bright little boys. They are breaking an oxen. They ride, drive and lead it about as though it was a veteran in the business. The other day Sam Strain 'saw ihem working with it when he re membered that he used to be similar ly engaged. It brought to his mind the Hues and sentiment of the poet: Backward, turn backward, 0 time in your flight. Make me a child again just for tonight. A merry Christmas and happy New Year to each and every one of our readers. J. L. S. Resolutions of Respect.
