The New York Herald asks: “What Is a Democrat?” Certain it is that the Herald is not a Democrat. still we see no reason why anyone should take the movement too serious ly. • • • Jim Doll is about as lazy as the editor of The Ledger. We asked him to pen a few lines of excuse for this column yetserday and he said all riiitfit. but the last time we saw him he was on the shady side of Limestone street iroing toward .he Cherokee Drug company with the speed of a snale’s "allop. so we were compelled write this nonsense in order to All up the paper. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. • • • The editor of the Spartanburg Jour nal says horses do not shy at automo biles. If we owned an auto we rnig'ht agree with him. « • • South Carolina’s governor made an impression at Jamestown. They do say. however, that bis better half is responsible for it. because she is such a fine looking woman that she attract ed the attention of everybody. * * » The Columbia State’s cartoonists displayed a good deal of humor b.v his work in Sunday’s issue of that pa per. He represented the Columbia Record as a baby crying oyer spilt milk, the spilt milk being the defunct dispensary. * • • Spartanburg streets are an inspira- t ! «n. They make a man think and say good things about a mighty good town. We wish our city fathers could see them. Maybe they wpuld he inspired to follow the example set by the Spartan city fathers. * * * We certainly feel sorry for the readers of the daily papers who find no pleasure in reading the baseball news. Gee! The whole epuptry seems to he “daffy” about the gamje. Well, its fine sport, and we onjy wish Gaffney could get into the State league. * * • Without any purpose of “ailing” the esteemed Fort Mill Times we rise to remark that the Charleston Evening Post is a mighty good u&Ber, By the way. the Times itself has im- -'roved somewhat lately. It has add- e-’ four more columns and in other respects is doing quite well. • * • The Darlington Press is calling for an inmproved cotton market. Just think of it! Gaffney has been at the top of the market all this season. In fact cotton is so high now that it looks like we’ll be compelled to stay awav from the Isle of Palms this year because we can’t get hold yf enough money to buy a short or two. * » * There is considerable talk about the carousals of some young white men in this city: about the frequency with which they ftll up. and it is evQh hinted that they have gone so far as to insult some ladies while in that condition. Now this is pretty tuff and unless some change takes place somebody is liable to acquire §. good deal of unpleasant notoriety. * • • fWe note with pleasure that the Southern press didn’t throw fits over the Ogden movement at Pinehurst a short while back. We are in sym pathy with Mr. Ogden’s ideas to edu cate and advance the po’ whites and niggers of the South—although .jye would rejoice to see them educated / C. E.

Thomas. Gaffney. S. C. Dear Sir: “It costs as much to put- on poor paint as good”—a common saying and true—it costs much more to put-on poor paint: more gallons. Poor paint is paint and barytes or paint and sand or paint and lime or paint chalk or paint and benzine or paint and water: these are the usual cheats: there are others. It. tak- s more gallons of painLand- a-cheat than of honest paint: and the costs for this year, but how about next year? Paint Devoe. and next year costs nothing: year after next the much as another, for labor. This is the wav to reckon your costs nothing: year after next the same: the same for several years. Paint anything else, and your costs recur according to what you paint- with. Some of the mixtures wear one year: some two: some three. It costs twice, three times, four times, five times, as much to paint with a cheat as to paint with Devoe. Yours truly 8 F W DEVOE & CO P. S. Wilkins-Watson Hardware sell our paint.

Far famed Grand Rapids lettuce has been improved by Dr. Beverly T. Gal loway, chief of the bureau of plant Industry, department of agriculture, Washington. This achievement places Dr. Galloway in the wizard class, say? the Detroit Free Press. • Tiie Grand Rapids lettuce, such as has been grown under glass in the fur niture city for many years, is very hardy, not at nil subject to disease, beautiful crimped leaves, and does not grow in tho form of a head. This is demanded by the western market, which objects to head lettuce. But in the east the head lettuce is ft favorite. The Golden Queen, as it is commonly called, is notable for the whiteness of its inner leaves and for its tenderness. To improve these two varieties Dr. Galloway startl'd to crossbreed and to select tho best seeds. This is the fourth year of his work, and he has now j reached the point where he can see I that his ideal has been practically at ! tained. The new Grand Rapids lettuce will j be one-third larger than the old vari- I ety. Its inner leaves will be whiter, j and the entire plant will be more ten- ■ dor. It will still remain an open leaf | plant, but will h ive Just the slightest tendency to form a tiny head at the center. The demauds of the east for a head lettuce will he met in a successor to the Golden Queen. This has inherited from the old Grand Rapfds strain a better constitution, so that it will not be susceptible to <lisea.se. Moreover, it will also inherit from the same source the crimped leaves which are the pride of the Michigan lettuce. Cross Scarred Forehead. After burning into his forehead with ucU a erois one and one-half inches long Dr. Paul Bettlx, professor of Greek lu the Central Holiness univer sity at Oskaloosa, la., has dei..-ed himself at the head of "Christ’s O vn Volunteers” for the crusade of me twentieth century, says an Oskaloosa dispatch. Because of his act and dec laration he has Lmsui dismissed from the university, ouowt whose chief sup porters In the state is Mrs. Bcott M. Ladd, wife of a Justice of the state su preme court. Bettlx Intends to go to Kansas to organize hls work. He asks for 144,000 followers, each to have the cross burned Into his forehead and to go and preach without scrip or purse. • Good to Eat That’s why everyone likes JeU-O THE DAINTY DESSERT (Approved by Pure Food Commissioners.)

Table Delicacy Used by Postmaster to Make His Office Shine. Postmaster George \Y. Bryan of Ro- waytou, Conn., uocided the other day that his postollice furnishings needed a coat of varnish, says a South Nor walk* (Conn.) di ; atch. He didn't think a regular painter was needed and en gaged E. II. Hall, a village bandy man, to do the jol). .'Ir. Bryan had a two quart can of varnish at home, and, desire is of saving the government as much expense a ' lie coni I, he brought the varnish over and set Hall to work. Recently at breakfast time Mrs. Postmaster 1 try an hunted in vain for, 4 her can of maple sirup, while her hus band waited for Ids pancakes. Finally she asked the postmaster if he had seen it.
