??****???**??*?
Such pretty days as these make us
feel that after all, the world is
right good old place. Here's the top
of the morning to each and all of you
dear readers! The song of the birds,
the budding of the trees, the wisteria
vine banging with flowers?isn't it
worth all the dreary, rainy days that
are now gone and almost forgotten
Some of the farmers are now ready
to plant cotton seed. Tbe little lad
at our house began planting the 21st
Some of us attended and greatly en
joyed the School Fair, the 18th. The
immense crowd was exceedingly good
humored and withal most orderly. Of
course, it being our first effort at
anything of tbe kind we can very
readily see where improvements can
be made for the future. Take the
literary contest, for instance, no
child could do his or herself justice,
nor the school whose representative
they were, In such confusion, as neces
sarily existed in the crowded halls
and rooms of the graded school build
ing. Spell In a hub-bub like that?
Read understanding^ with a noise
like unto that of tbe Niagara Cataract
in one's ears? These things however
can be remedied and will bo. The
fair was a success. Those who were
responsible for it feel that it was
an eye opener to many Laurens
county people. Tbe exhibits were n
credit to the schools. To see them to
an advantage, the tour of Inspection
should have boon made Saturday.
What impressed me most forcibly per-|
haps wore the letters to Miss Gra-S
from foreign born children of lho|
Bast Side In New York, where com
pulsory education is in force. They
were written in good English, yet the
writers were all children, and crip
pled ones at that, of foreign parent
ngc and doubtless these parents could
not write a word of English. I thought
what an object lesson! I low many
parents in Laurens county are ns
dersely Ignorant of their mother ton
gue, as are these foreign parents?
How many fathers need must make
the humiliating cross mark Politi
cians yell out when votes are neces
sary for their own well being "Oursl
is the purest blood in America! We
can each and all trace our lineage
back to the days of 177G!" What
booteth this glorious heritafre hound
as we are by the chains of ignorance?
Hut such a fair as was held the 18th
Is like unto a beacon light. There
gleams a brighter day for South
Carolina?"a day that is near at
hand!"

The Hook says: "A good man looks
well after the comfort of his dumb
brutes." Yesterday on my way from
Princeton I saw Dr. It. B. (lllkerson
plowing. I waited for him to drive
out to tbe road for a chat. He told
me to look at his horse, and remark
ed, "This pony Is thirty-three years)
old, and still able to do light work,
like opening cotton bed.', to put in the
seed." I recollect Dr. .lames II. Ware]
had an old riding horse that he prac-|
ticed medicine on for many years. Af
ter he was unfit for service, the Doe
tor still bad him well cared for, and
when old Sam died, he had the horse
hauled off to the old field and burled.
He said Sam had done him too much
work for the buzzards to pick his |
bones. In those dnys, It was no un
common thing to see teams of horses
and mules doing good service, when
twenty to thirty years old, often go
ing on ten da>s* trips to market with
them. When the driver rolled off i
twenty miles, he went into camp. The
reason the teams looked so well, they
were fed and water at regular times,
three times per day, and not over

Engagement Anonunced.
Among the very recent entertain
ments was a six. course luncheon, glv
on by Miss Sadie Sullivan at her
home on West Main street. The color
scheme?yellow?was most effective
ly carried out in the menu, the dainty
hand painted place cards and the
decorations. Chiffon was drawn from
the chandelier to the four corners of
the table and caught with satin bows.
A golden basket hanked with ferns
and marchalnoil roses formed the
body center piece. At each end of
the table were handsome candelabra
in which burned yellow candles. The
place cards were small hand painted
books In which each was asked to
guess the name of the bride to be
and to write a pood wish for her.
After these were rend and enjoyed,
the real secret came with the last
course, minature brides and little
gold rimmed envelopes addressed to
each guest bore the following an
nouncement :

BEEF EXPORTS DECREASED.
Three Times as Much shipped Six
Years Ago.
Washington, April 20.?The Unitod
States was exporting more than three
times as much fresh beef and cattle
six years ago as it .sends abroad to
day, ns shown by statistics made pub
lic today by Secretary Rodfleld of the
department of commerce, in the llrst
nine months of the present llscal year
ending March 31 there was exported
only 5,479,439 pounds of fresh beef
and 13,598 pounds of cattle, as com
pared with 200,069,729 pounds of fresh
beef and 307,726 pounds of cattle In
the same months of 1907. The inter
vening years reveal an uninterrupted
decrease.
Another feature of the report Is the
statement that while the population
of the country has Increased 11 per
cent, since 1907, the number of beef
cattle had decreased 30 per cent.:
furthermore 222,000 head of cattle
came Into the country in the first
eight months this year against only
12,700 in 1907.
In the calendar year past the United
States exported 9.000,000 pounds of
fresh beef; Argentine sent out 756,
000,000 pounds: Australia 109,000,000.
New Zealand 27,50O,O00 pounds and
Uraguay 21,000,000.
loaded, and over-worked.
In the mad rush of today the most
of our animals are worn out before
they are fifteen years old. We have
a large number of mules and horses
brought In every year and our people
buy them at exorbltous prices. I low in
the world do our folks hold up at pay
ing such high prices for stock, and
they lasting such a few years in farm
work?

THE BED ROOM
To have bed-room furniture that you would really like to have your friend to see
is a great pleasure. Styles in Bed-room furniture are a problem with the manu
facturers, they seem to lie awake nights?vying with each other all the time. The
result is that you, the user, benefit.
There are so many bed-room suits here that we hardly know where to begin
when telling you about them, but here is one suit that we want you to be here
to see whether you want to buy or not.
This is without doubt the handsomest suit to be found in any store in the state.
Just now the style, every piece extra large and masive, and the entire suit is
made of the highest grade of real Mahogany, finished in the very latest Dull
Finish; the entire suit of five pieces for only $182, but we can sell you any piece
of this handsome suit separate if you wish, but come in and see for yourself,
no matter what your taste we just know that we can please you and our prices
as you know, will meet with your approval.
