We arc pleased to state that the Hon. A. J. Smith is on the improve, and wc hope to bo able to state in our next letter that he will soon be his usual self again. The farm work is at a stand still yet, and wo see no chance of doing much for several days yet. The rain came in groat torrents last night, and continued up to noon today. The public roads are getting to be impas sable, and we can't see how the farm ers can got In the fertilizers before tho first of April, after which we may have time to get in some early planting of cotton, and nine times] out of ten it Is the cotton that pays. Thfs date last year your correspond ent had one of his bottom land in ap ple order ready to plant corn, with very near all his cotton land broke with two horse Chattanooga 43 plows, up to dato wc have not run a furrow. We are glad to state that some of our farmers arc going to cut the for tlii/er bills in half, while others will use from one-fourth to one-third less. Wc feel that providence plays the most important part in what we make on the farm, though some farmers think that fertilizer will save labor and make more, but our experience about using groat quantities of fertilizers is that it takes more hands and that takes more money. These guano peo ple are getting about one-half of what the farmers arc making. I venture the assertion that if we would give them our lands, and let them keep the re pairs, pay tho tax, they would refuse to take us up. In the first place why should they, when we keep up the repairs, pay the tax. and then oversee and turn in all the cash that is avail able, in the fall for nothing. In other words our guano bills foot up mon than all the rest of our bills. We inclined to think like our friend Watt? we will have to turn our attention to other things outside of cotton. Wo your humble correspondent is planting less cotton this time, have the oats up from last October, sowing nisi wheat, now preparing to sow bean less barley to help tho rye patch that is looking lino right at this time Xo\ we ate going oCCOl'd other people what we hope that tiny will accord us: do as you please farmers as we see no Other help for it. We see the fruit trees budding, but they better he careful about coining out any time soon. We see thai our county police arc tho busiest ofllcors these days. You sec how quick such countic;; as Spar tnnburg and Union fell In lino, after seeing what the county police of I.au rons county were (hung, we have but one objection, we need more of them, We have a COUrt house that is a credit to the county. HOW TO QUICKLY STOP RHEUMATISM Former Sufferers Tell of Astonishing Results Fol lowing Use of New Juice Treatment. There In no longer need for people to suffer for years from chronic, stub born, rheumatism, lumbago lame hack, stiff and swollen joints and muscles. The pain can bo slopped very quickly, tho soreness relloved, and tho swelling reduced by n short treatment with the new Hoot .luice compound. Mr. c. Hortstnnn, 1311 \V. .Tofforson St., Fori Wayne, Ind who made test of tho new treatment says: "The ligaments in my hands were so badly crippled I could not open them. In fact I was crippled I could scarcely walk. The benefit I derived from the juice treatment seems almost like a| miracle." Mr. .lames Fletcher, Onlns-I vlllo, On., suffered cloven years. At times he could not get out of the house, and spent several hundred dol lars seeking a cure. He says "Root ?TuICO worked like magic. Two bot tles put mo on my feet. Tho pr/olllng has almost gone. 1 eat well and sleep line." The juice seems to exert its strange curative Influence in severe, stubborn and long standing eases as quickly and surely as in the mildest ones for many who report complete cures have Buffered for years and tried every thing else Without results. Hoot .luice can now be obtained at any good drug store. Those who de cide to try it. however, are warned against tricky ami dishonest drug gists who are offering worthless imi tations. Asthma!

Mr. Gaarden, a geodedlc observer and coast surveyor of the United States government, spent last week in town. On the school grounds about 200 feet north of the building, he sank a granite post with a brass plate in the top of it, to mark the spot from which he took his observations. On the hill across the valley directly north was another rock post set up, thus establishing the first true merid ian for the County of Laurens. Fri day morning Mr. Gaarden made a talk to the high school pupils. He told the nature of his work and explained the mechanism of the instruments that he used. These men are not allowed to give out tho result of their work until their calculations have been properly verified- at the home office, but from his talk we learned that the magnetic needle points almost direct ly north, the line of zero declination passing about through Laurens; that the dip of the needle is about 66 de grees; that the latitude of Laurens is nmout 2:> Vi degrees. I A very interesting debate by four pupils of the ninth grade, took place in the school auditorium last Friday morning. The subject was: "Resolved, that man has more influence on na ture, than nature has on man." Caro line Roper and .lames Milam were on the affirmative side, while Wales Wat son and Hayno Taylor took the nega tive side. The judges, selected from the tenth grade decided in favor of the negative. The game on Friday afternoon, the Kith was won by the high school boys. They played against (he town hoys. The final scoro was 10-1. Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is only a lew miles from Buffalo. The Niagara is one of the most wonderful rivers in the world Some of its water.; come from Lake Superior. 'I he mighty waters are poured from the Erie Basin into that; Of Lake Ontario, which is three lain died and thirty feet below. The volume of water which flows be tween the banks of the Niagara is so great that every minute more than half a million tons of water are drop ped over the falls. As tho water moves slowly on until it conies with in a mile of the falls, the river be comes narrower, the rapids begin, and you see the waters boiling as they sweep among rocks and about islands. They foam as they dash about Coat Is land, which lies on the edge of the falls, and then take their hundred and sixty foot leap downward into the great abyss below. For the next seven miles the river flows through a ravine, the banks of Which rise almost straight upward foi two or three hundred feet above the water, until they pass Lewiston at the I end of the gorge, when they suddenly become rjulef and How peacefully on into Lake Ontario. On our right are the American Palls, as high hut not so wide as the Horseshoe Falls, which extends, in the shape of a great orescent, to the shore of Canada, on our left. The water thunders as it goes over the rock. Tile noise is so great that it is said it can be heard forty miles away. Tho cave of the winds is rlghl un der the falls. You must have a cos tume and guide if you undertake the trip. There are great whirlpools and rapids above it, and a great steel arch brldgo which crosses the Niagara, con necting Canada with the United States, from which you can get a fine view of the falls. The bridge is a great wonder itself. It crosses right over the raging tor rent. It is a mighty arch of steel, with a span of five hundred and fifty feet, which Is said to be the largest In the world. It Is two and ninety feet long, and the bridge weight sev en million pounds. Another great piece of engineering connected with Niagara Falls Is the tunnel which has been built to harness a part of this Immense water power and make it work for man. In the tunnel, pits havo been sunk for the Insertion of Immense turbine wheels which are driven round and round by the water as it falls upon them. Dyna mos are attached to each wheel for the generation of electricity. The elec tricity Is used to run many factories near the falls, and nearby cities.

A striking illustration of this fact was evidenced in a test made by the gov ernment of France in December, 1910, when they pitted the materials of the Ford car against those of the best, highest priced car made in France, The test was for "traction and shock." Ford Model T was 30 per cent, greater in elasticity, 50 per cent, stronger and 25 per cent, better under shock. The very fact that there are now over ioo,ouo Foul ears in Operation is the v< ry best evidence of the quality of materials used in its construction. Co where you will, you will find more than ten Pord cars to one of any other make, and this could not be so if the quality was not in the materials used in Pord Model T. We have the demand; we have the factory facilities and capacity; we have Ihe money; we have the selling organization, and we are going to make and sell 75,000 Pord Model '1 cars for the year 1912.
