Cement and steel and brick and stone are not yet used in sufficient quantities to encourage lumber users to predict the time when the forests will not be called upon to furnish the principal materials used in build ing operations. Notwithstanding the remarkable increase in the use of cement and other fireproof materials, He Advises Those who Enter To Go In to Win. Every Farmer in Cher- m rX k okee Elligible. Wllklnsville, Feb. 18.—One of our neighbors recommends his wife for a position in the fire department force. He says she can put out the fire by putting wood on it. We are not superstitious, and don’t wish to advocate supersitious ideas, hut we have always heard it said that a man who can’t build a fire and get tt to bum, is sure to get a lazy, no account wife. It’s a poor rule that , won’t work both ways—hence we might conflflude that a woman who can’t build a good fire either has got or will get a husband of the same stripe. Thank you, “Country Lover,” for your information in regard to our ideal young man. We must not lose sight of such, and especially such noble acts. You, to, Mr. Editor, foi: your kind expression in regard to our effort at correspondence for The Led ger. Wte are only sorry we are un able to do more and better for* the paper. Such . commendation from yourself and others is having a serious effect in aggravating the “bighead” with which we have been and still are suffering. We have, however, for a long time, been insisting on the young people especially to take up this “labor of love” which is one of the cases in which it is more blessed to give than to receive. Next Saturday will be General Wlashington’s birthday. Had he lived until now be would have been 176 years old. But had he been horn one week later, how many birthdays would he have seen up to the present time? Some one please tell us. Rev. T. F. Boozer preached at Sa lem last Sabbath from the text Rev. 21:6, “Behold I make all things new." Broad river was very high that day and only a small congregation was present. Most of the congregation that attend Salem live on the York side of the river. Messrs. J. N. and Sam Strain went to Gaffney Thursday and returned Friday. They spent Thursday night with the family of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Sparks. Several people are still sick with the cold. Dr. Fiefleld hag been kept busy since he has located here, but fortu nately has had only a few real bad C&SG9. Miss Bonnie McCluney did not teach last week. She was sick but is now well again. We find several who propose en tering the com raising contest in augurated by the Merchants and Planters Bank of Gaffney. One man said he would enter it hut his land is on the York side of the river. He lives in this county, however, and has part of his farm here. His best up land is on the other side, he says. Truth cannot be killed though you may kill the one who teaches it. The logic of spirit and persecution limps badly and envy is a compliment we pay our superiors. A few old fassilized and billious obstructionists thinb that they know it all and see nothing in the new and progressive systems hut ultimate ruin or failure, at least. For many, many yeavs we (have heard the needs of the farming class discussed—that of raising our home supplies instead of depeding on the foreign markets for them—and now when a practical theory is about to take root some people are ready to kick it all to pieces and discourage the movement. This is all wrong. We feel very much about this as Rev. Sam T. Creech did when he under took to build the Second Methodist church at Gaffney. Some people (some of the members) couldn’t see how it was to be done. But he told them that they could all do something —those who could and would pay any thing must do so and if those who cotfldn’t would only keep their mouths shut and not discourage the willing workers, the house would go up with ease, and so it did. Now let our fanners do the same thing and 1st the corn-growing theory advance. The bank advances no plans or con ditions upon, which the farmers are to work. All the fanner has to do is to "show the goods” and get his money. So far as the bank is con cerned it makes no difference wheth er the contestant has money or de posits there or does like the most of ns—live from hand to month. He will be on the same footing with the rest. In this contest we hope the press will give the very best plans advanced by those who have succeed^ •$, and lot each contestant read and adopt whichever he thinks best. Mr. W. R.

Columbia, Feb. 20.—With only three days of the session left, tto house and senate have both eliminated all except the most important matters from their calendars and eacli house is now to consider the measures which the other house has already passed upon. This is the final analy sis of legislative judgement. Within the last few days many matters have been decided definitely. It may be now. if not before, safely asserted that there will he no rate legislation this year nor will the lien law be repealed. The senate, having at different times assumed different positions on these questions, the final determination was in doubt but it is now settled. Neither will the department of im migration lie abolished, although the house by a vote of 08 to 51 passed tbe bill of Mr. D. L. Smith to abolish that department. The senate lias gone on record as not in favor of its abolition and the Smith bill is hardly likely to get through. The bill establishing the depart ment of insurance, which has passed the house, is now before the senate. The senate has not yet passed it. but has evidenced a disposition to do so, and it has been amended in the sen ate so as to provide that the insur ance commissioner shall be elected by the general assembly instead of ap pointed by the governor, as in the original bill. If the bouse does not agree to this amendment the bill will go to free sonference. Senator Bhase led the fight for election by the general assembly, and th“ sen ate. at no time appearing friendly to Gov. Ansel, consented to the amend ment. The appropriation bill is also now befflre the senate with suggested amendments which may bring about some disagreement. The bill as usu al will go to free conference. The contract labor bills are now in free conference, the senate and house not being in agreement. This com mittee consists of Messrs. Graydon, Bates and Sullivan from the senate and Messrs. Cothran, Johnstone and Carey on the part of the house. These gentleipen will virtually write the farm labor law of the State, as the committee of free conference has absolute power and unless their re port is agreed to the bill falls entire ly. The various insurance bills, besides that establishing the department of insurance, are now before the sen ate, having been passed by the house. The matter of insurance has been much discussed at this session, not only on the floor of each house but in the lobbies and the strongest lobby-1 ing of the session has been done by the insurance interests of the State. The hill to increase the pay of legis lators, or rather to pay a salary of $200 instead of $4 per day, has pass ed the senate and is now before tne house. • The joint resolution to relieve Messrs. Bates, Timmerman and Jen nings. State treasurers, from all lia bility as to the theft of State bonds from the office of the State treasurer during their incumbency has passed both houses. It was debated at length and with spirit in the house last night and passed by a vote of 78 to 38. The house has passed the bill to amend the Mgh school act of 1907, with amendments confining the es tablishment of high schools under the act to towns containing not over 1,* 000 inhabitants or to school districts containing no town of above that number. This afternoon at four o’clock the two houses will meet In joint assemb ly to elect judges of the two new cir cuits, the eleventh and the twelfth. The eleventh circuit embraces the counties of Lexington, Saluda and Edgefield and the candidates are C. M. Eflrd, of Lexington, and J. W. De vore, of Edgefield. The twelfth cir cuit embraces the counties of Flor ence, Georgetown, Marion and Horry and the candidates are s* W. G. Shipp, of Florence, W. J. Montgom ery. of Mlarion, and C. P. Quattle- baum, of Horry. The bill as it origi- lally passed the house provided for ily oue new circuit but the senate ed another and the houe after a agreed to the amendment, the being 49 to 42.

Washington, Feb. 14.—The scien tific study of the merits of many species of trees against the use of which there has been a prejudice tor one reason or the other is one of the most Important phases of the forest work of the government, from an economic standpoint, and the investi gations which have already been made have provided the lumber in dustry with much valuable informa tion. The latest discoveries of valuable qualities in a former neglected spe cies resulted after an investigation of the tupelo gum which finds its home in the Southern swamps. Ex perts say that the study has brought out as important data as the studies made on the loblolly pine, another species which was neglected tor many years, but which is now put to valuable use for many purposes. Tupelo, two years ago, at the time the study was begun, was little known and seldom used even in the sections of the country where it is most plen tiful. In the logging off of Qypress in the Gulf States where tupelo is found in large quantities, the trees were entirely disregarded. It was found that the prejudice then existing against the wood was caused by a lack of knowledge of its properties and lack of care in handling the ma terial. The investigations have been carried on by the United States For est Service and have proved the value, of the wood for a number of uses. The result of these studies, removed, very largely, the existing prejudices against this girni, and in a short time the demand for tupelo rapidly In creased. This wood is now widely used, not only in the State where it grows but also in different sections of the coun try, in the manufacture of wooden pumps, sounding boards for violins and organs, mantles, and interior finishing, such as moulding, door and window frames and door jams. It is manufactured also into all kinds of lumber, including a good grade of edge grain flooring. Tupelo gum, In the form of flooring, was recently found competing successfully witb Douglas fir in the Los Angeles mark et, even though bearing a freight rate of eighty-five cents per hundred weight from its source of production in Louisiana. This is only one example of the studies carried on by the government for the purpose of creating markets and establishing uses for the kinds of wood whose properties are not un derstood. The reason for making these studies is that by finding sub stitutes for woods now in use which have grown by a lack scarce In con sequence of an excessive demand, the timber supply of the country) Is in ef fect increased, the most economical use of wood is promoted, and the evils of a general shortage in wood supply are to that degree lessened.

There is hardly a family In Gaffney where there are not one or more members who suffer at times from the effects of a weak stomach. It may be that this occurs only af ter eating some food that does not agree, 07 because of a supper late at night; or it may be that fhe stomach Is so weak that scarcely any food can be eaten without pain and distress. The only way to treat a condition of this kind successfully is with Mi* o-na. It removes the cause of indi gestion, weakness of the muscles of the stomach and bowels, and restores the whole digestive system to health and strength so that it takes care of all the food that is eaten. Get well and strong by nslng Ml-o- na tablets. Take the remedy at the first symptom of indigestion, whett you can be cured easily with a few doses. However, no case of stomaefc trouble is too aevere or chronic for Mi-o-na to overcome. The Gaffney Drug Co. sells it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A 6O0 box lasts for a couple of wedks. and will do more real good than a dozen boxes of the ordinary digestive tablets. —One 90c bottle Nature’s Cough Remedy will put an end to that cough; no cure, no pay.
