We wero in the town of Cro?s Hill a day or two sincp, for the first time in several years, and were forcibly im pressed by the strides of progress since our last visit. This town is bound to be heard from in the future. Its merchants, (thirteen of them), are wide-awake, progressive men. They have a beautiful new Church, whioh is an ornament to the town. We had the pleasure of shaking hands with our old friend Rev. Jodie Martin, and a chat with ox-Mayor David Barnside, and many other old friend*. Farmers are needing a little rain. Most of them are badly behind in cot ton planting, owing to the wet woather of the past month or two, and for the past week the sun has formed a hard crust on a good deal of the land.

Mr. Arthur Riddle has the contract for re-bulldlng the bridge over Cane Creek, near Harris Spring. This work has boen commonced, and none too soon, for tbo old bridge Is in a very dangerous condition. The town of Waterloo is on the ad St-vance, with several live merchants.

Many a time that roll of honor has boon called, on Holds of earthly glory. Hun dreds of thousands of tho names of heroic men have boon transferred from earth to a fairor country. They fell by our side in tho thick of tho fight, or expired in prisons, camps and hospitals. It is well to honor their memory and celebrate their heroic deeds for tho Lost Cause. But tho ranks grow thinner still, as timo sweeps down those whom God's mercy spared the death of the battlefield. And those which yet remain to answer to tho roll-call of veterans carry with them the marks of their glorious achievements. These badges of earthly honor and glory'aro also evidences of the Divine mercy which has spared and preserved. Let us reflect upon tho goodnoss of God, which has spared us for other service and lot us sanctify our remaining days to tho service of tho Lord of all, that when tho roll is called in heaven, wo shall no longer stand in decimated and ever diminishing ranks; but shall enter a joyful reunion and delight in an oternal comradeship with thoso who fought a good fight and kept tho faith. When the Roll is Call Up Yonder. When tho trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and timo shall bo no moro, And tho morning broaks eternal, bright and fair; When tho saved of earth shall gather over on tho other shore, And tho roll is called up yonder, I'll bo thoro, Chorus.?When tho roll is called up yonder, When tho roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, I'll bo there. On that bright and cloudless morning, when tho dead in Christ shall rise, And the glory of his resurrection share; When his chosen ones shall gather to tholr homo boyond the skies, And the roll is called up yonder, I'll bo there. Lot us labor for tho Master from tho dawn till sotting sun, Lot us talk of all his wondrous lovo and care. Then, when all of lifo is over, and our work on earth is done, And tho roll is callod up yonder, I'll bo thoro. /?s^BUY YOUR^v Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls -.^ZB/W" sFROM/- ??lUim?Elv ?. R.

We realize that this is claiming a groat deal, and we could not afford to mako this assortion unless we knew that we could prove it to bo truo. But it does not take an export to test tho softness of a Mineral Water. When carbonating a minoral wator, if it is a hard water tho gases will not bo absorbed In the water, and when the bottle is oponed, the gases escapo, and tho water is loft fiat and hard, while if it is a soft wator, like WHITE STONE LITHIA, it will retain its gases for hours after being un stopped. Read what somo prominent persons you know have to say of tho merits of tho WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER: Laurons, S. C, Sept. 10th, 1002. J. T. Harris, Esq , V/hlto Stono Spring, S. 0. Dear Sir:?I am using White Stone Lithla Spring's Water and am very muoh pleased with rosults. I think it the best I have used. Yours very respeotfully, O. B. Simmons. Laurens, S.

Very truly, J. O. C. Fleming. Greenville, S. C, Oct. 10, 1002. After a sorvice of ono soason at White Stono Llthiu Springs, as resi dent physician I do not hositate to say that the effect of the wator upon thoso who drink it for any length of timo, has boon perfectly marvelous. Invari ably an increase both in flosh and ap petite was perceptible in ono week, proving it to be a mineral wator of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adaptability to diseases origi nating from disorders of the kidnoy, bladder and liver, such as Dropsy, Bright's disease, Diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms of Dyspepsia, Rheumatism and Gout, is to bo ex Eected from the splendid analysis It as been noted frequently that visi tors before coming hero had to follow every meal with somo form of correc tive, or confine themselves entirely to predlgestcd foods: soon discard these entirely, boing delighted to find that the water alone?nature's own remedy sufficed. Of the many who drank this water this season for ten day consecu tively, not one but experienced decided benefit and a perceptible gain in weight, varying from two to five pounds. U C. Stephens, M.

Horace Lorimer Now, I want to give you that tip on the inurket. There are several reasons why It Isn't snfo for you to trade on 'change Just now, but the particular one is that Graham St Co. will Are you if you do. Trading on margin is a good deal like paddling around tho edge of the old swimming hole?It seems safe and ensy at first, Mat before a follow knows it he bos stepped off tho edge Into deep water. The wheat pit Is ouly thirty feet across, but it reaches clear down to holl. And trading on margins means trading on the ragged edge of nothing. When a man buys, he's bay ing something that the other fellow hasn't got. When a man soils, he's sell ing something that ho hasn't got And ifs been my experience that tho net profit on nothing is nit. When a specu lator wins, bo don't stop till he loses, and when he loses ho can't stop till ho wins. You hnvo been in the packing busi ness long enough now to know that It takes a bull thirty seconds to lose bit hide; and if you'll believe me when I tell you that they can skin a bear just as quick on 'change, you won't have a board of trade Indian using your pelt for a rug during tho long winter months. Because you are the son of a pork packer you may think that you know a little more Ihnn the next fellow about paper pork. There's nothing In It. The poorest men on earth arc the relations of millionaires. When I sell futures on 'change they're against bogs that are traveling Into dry salt at the rate of one a second, and if the market goes up on me I've got the solid meat to de liver. Hut, If you lose, the only pnrt of tho bog which you can deliver Is the squeal. I wouldn't bear down so bard on this matter If money was tho only thing that a follow could lose on 'change. But if a clerk sells pork and the mar ket goes down he's mighty apt to get a lot of Ideas with holes in them and bad habits as the small change of his profits. And if tho market goes up bo's likely to go short his self respect to win back his monoy. I dwell a little on this matter of spec ulation because you've got to live next door to tho hoard of trade oil your life, and it's a safe thing to know something about a neighbor's dogs before you try to pat them. Sure Things, Straight Tips and Dead Cinches will come run ning out to meet you, wagging their tails and looking as Innocent as if they hadn't just killed a lamb, but they'll bite. The only safe road to follow in speculation leads straight away from the board of trade on tho dead run. Of course the board of trade and ev ery other commercial exchange have their legitimate uses, but all you need to know just now Is that speculation by a fellow who never owns moro pork at a time than ho sees on his breakfast plate isn't ono of them. When you be come a packer you may go on 'change as a trader; until then you can go there only as a sucker. <$>--??? BOYS AND PUPS Sometime* the Likely One? Turn Out Disappointingly -$> Boys are a good deal llko the pups that fellows soli on street corners they don't always turn out as repre sented. You buy n likely setter pup and raise a spotted coach dog from it, and tho promising son of an honest butcher is Just ns like os not to turn out a poet or a professor. I want to say in passing that I have no real prejudice against poets, but I believe that If you're going to be a Milton there's nothing like being a mute, In glorious one, as some follow who was a little sore on tho poetry business once put it. Of course a packer who understands something about the ver satility of cottonseed oil need novor turn down orders for lard becauso the run of hogs Is light, and a father who understands human naturo can turn out an Imitation parson from a boy whom tho Lord Intended to go on the board of trade. But on general prin ciples It's best to give your cottonseed oll n Latin namo and to market It on Its merits and to let your boy follow bis bent, even If It loads him Into tho wheat pit.?From "Letters From a Self Made Merchant to His Son," by George Horace Lorimer. PLAIN PROOF. wiint This Gentleman Says is a Mere State ment of Facts. No one can havo any reason for dis senting from the particulars and proofs which follow, for verification of the same is within easy reach of evory resident of this vicinity.

"Towards tho clo3e of the seven teenth century Mr. Lucas, a wealthy English plantor, residing at the time on Bermuda Island, sent to his niece, Miss Eliza I/ioas, of Georgetown, io the colony of South Carolina, a small quanity of Indigo seed, accompanying his gift with full instructions as to the cultivation of tho plant and the pre paration of the seed for use as a dye and for export. Shortly after Mr. Lucas sent a servant who wus regarded as an expert in tho matter to supervise the planting of this small indigo farm. For Homo reason this person turned re* orcant, to the task confided to Ulm? Miss Lucas, becoming aware of bis in difference and assurca that ho was nob following thu instructions ol bor unole, as contained In his letter to her, dis missed the export and undertook her self the. management. She was a wo man of remarkable energy and Eound judgment, noted even In that day for her fondness for agriculture and domes tic virtues. Under hor skillful super vision the first crop of indigo cultivated in tho colonies of America was grown and prepared for market, much to the satisfaction of her lordly uncle, who shortly afterwards left the Bermudas and established tho Lucas family of South Carolina, a representative peo ple who to this day maintain the fond ness of their ancestors for agricultural pursuits.
