Has it gone out of commission? • • Some people spend too much time attending to other people’s business and not enough attending to their own. • • • Dixieland awaits with open arms the coming of the prosperity wave, and most of us believe that it is about due if it expects to come in on schedule time. a • a Spartanburg was recently visited by a Chinese editor name Li Sum. He couldn’t reflect on the reputation of those already living there, espec- cially when it comes to main lines! a a • It may not set well on the stomachs of some of us, but the truth is that there are not so many people in Dixie land disappointed in the outcome of the election as most people might suppose. a a a Some people work too much with their hands and not enough with their heads; while some work too much with their heads and not enough with their hands. It’s hard to get the thing balanced. a a a Tennessee is earning for herself an unenviable reputation for lawless ness. Only a few weeks ago “night riders’’ murdered a prominent law yer, and on Monday the cowardly son of a thin-skinned politician, accompa nied by his father, took the life of one of the South’s most brilliant citi zens, ex-Senator Edward W. Carmack. Mr. Carmack was the editor of The Tennessean, a paper publish at Nash ville, and had incurred the displeasure of this politician because of his utter ances in his paper, and he was shot down in the street like a dog. If young Cooper, the slayer, does not suffer punishment it will not be be cause he does not desreve it. • * • Our neighbor, the Cherokee News, uttered au undeniable truth last week in the paragraph which fol lows: The greatest need of Cherokee county just now is good roads, and the way to have them is to build roads that will be permanent and not require to be worked after every lit tle rain and then be impassable for several days on account of the mud But, somehow or other, it seem» as if our county officials had rather spend what little money they have throwing up dirt roads for the rain to wash away than to invest it in something durable and lasting. For our part we cannot see the wis dom or economy in the system . Another Mad Dog Scare. Last Friday little Verdie Allison, five years old, and her sister. Miss Bertha, daughters of Mr. S. A. Alli son, of the Grassy Pond neighbor hood, and Miss Lucile Daniel, daugh ter of Mr. Joe Daniel, of the same neighborhood, were bitten by a dog supposed to have hydrophobia. The victims were brought to Gaffney and Mr. Brown Lowe’s madstone applied. The stone stuck on little Verdie for eleven hours and twenty-five min utes, on Miss Bertha for eighteen hours, and on Miss Daniel for twelve hours and fifteen minutes and was still adhering when this was writ ten. J. T. Bishop, of Santuc, was bitten by a dog last Saturday. He was brought to Gaffney and the madstone applied. It adhered sixteen hours and thirty-five minutes. Mr. Lowe’s madstone is making quite a reputation for itself and its owner. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Card of Thanks.

It can always be stopped —in the beginning. The trouble is: you don’t know you’ve got it; you don’t believe it; you won’t believe it—till you are forced to. Then it is dangerous. Don’t be afraid; but attend to it guick—you can do it yourself and at home. Take SCOTT’S EMULSION of Cod Liver Oil and live care fully every way. This is sound doctrine, what ever you may think or be told; and, if heeded, will save life. It Will Be Decided at the Court House Next Thursday. Next Thursday should be a memor able day for the farmers of Cherokee county, as that Is the date that has been fixed for the awarding of the prize in the seed contest. On this occas ion the prize of $50, offered by the Merchants and Planters Bank, of this cHy, for the best acre of upland corn in Cherokee county will also be awarded. The meeting will be held In the court house, and every farmer in Cherokee county is Invited to be present. It makes no 'difference whether or not he has entered either of the contests. There will be sev eral good speeches on the subject of corn raising, one by Commissioner of Agriculture Watson, of Columbia, and one by an expert from the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton. In writing about this contest Mr. P. Hartley, of the Bureau of Plant Industry at Washington, says: “Ten seed ears is a good number to require of competitors, especially if it is their first contest. A larger number is better for older corn breed ers. The ten ears should be their own growing and grown in 19TT8. With the ten ears should be furnished a statement of the kind of land upon which they were grown _and the length of time from date of planting required for the corn to ripen.” Commissioner Watson writes: “I expect to use every endeavor to be with you on this occasion, for I am deeply interested in the purpose of the meeting.” If the offering of these prizes by the Merchants and Planters Bank will stimulate the growing of corn in Cherokee county and eventually cause our people to raise all they re quire it will have served a great and useful purpose and conTfibuted much to the prosperity of our county.
