Farm and Fireside. Intensive Farming. Some farmers arc like Ike Pai ting ton when he put a hundred egg3 under one hen. His mother reprimanded him for it, and wanted to know what he did it for. "Why, 1 just wanted to see the old oittcr spread herself," replied Ike. Many farmers cultivate too much ground, and do it badly. Intensive farming is not only more pleasant, but in many instances more profitable. Thorough cultivation will always pay liest. * ? * Every farmer in Laurcns county should he a reader of the Farmers' Union Sun, published in Columbia.

After the stand the Union has taken on the lien law it will he hard for a Union man to vote for a man for the house or the senate who will not pledge himself to vote for the repeal of that iniquitous law. When the farmer calls for the repeal of the lien law he also calls for the repeal of the crop mort gage. He does not care to have one killed without the other. With the crop mortgage left the politician hopes to he able to satisfy the farmer who demands the repeal of the lien law. He will tell him that he has worked for the repeal of that law, while he tells the merchant that he stood by him in keeping the crop mortgage. Both must go. If a candidate does not care to vote for the repeal of these laws, that is his privilege. The Union members have some privileges. 'NutT Bed. Farmers' Union Sun. ft 9 9 What is Best for Indigestion ?

Country people have always been neg ligent about sending to the post oflice for their mail, and now the rural routes are bringing the mail right to their doors, which stimulates them to take more papers for the use of their fami lies and to keep up their routes to the average number of mail pieces per month. Our post oflice inspectors in locating these mail routes looked for ward to getting the mail to and from the railroad and made no provision for these routes to exchange mail one with the other. Many of them run within a fourth of a mile to one mile of each other and don't exchange mails. Coun try people wish to write to each other and have quick delivery of their letters to their kindred and friends, which is impossible under the present system. Take, for instance, Mr. Moore at Princeton has important business with Dr. Gilkerson, one mile distant. Mr. Simpson's route stops at Gilkorson's. Mr. Woods has to mail his letter at Princeton, the rural carries it to llonoa Path, the railroad carries it to Wart Shoals, Simpson takes it up there and brings it around to Cilkerson. Suppose Mr. Woods writes to Sullivan at Tum bling Shoals four miles -he has to mail his letter at Princeton, it gcx s to I Honea Path, Greenwood, Laurens G. H. 1 and Gray Court then by rural route to Tumbling Shoals. Simpson and Aber crombie routes run in three-fourths of a mile of each other, no exchange of mails, so it runs all over Laurens county. If we wish to communicate with Laurens C. H. we write today, Abcrcrornhie takes it. tomorrow he de livers to the Gray Court rider, who takes it to the railroad. It takes just about a week to write to Laurens ('. II. and get an answer, thirteen miles dis tant. Under our old system you knew exactly where u man lived by his post oflice; now you know where he lives but don't know his post office. 1 wish to write to Will Harris at Young's Store. I don't know whether to write him at Laurens C. IL, Woodruff. Cray Court or Fountain Inn, When I get the oflice then the number of the route must be sent also. These are some of the faults of our inspectors in locating our routes. There should be a perfect linking together of #11 the routes in the county and ex chMrge boxes put where these routes meet ettgh other.
