Though we are not an advocate of mud-slinging or any of the coarser mfethods of campaigning we belhieve that a man should be prepared to 5'how a clean state. It is riht andl essential that the -private life of a public servanlt shlouldl be known to thle people. His is as much of a trust as is thlat of anl omfier in a business coil cernI and te primel contidleraition in businesst affairs is hlonesty, uptight ness aind integrity. IfI a mian is dis honest, ~ilstuoral, vacillating or faulty in any manner ill -private life he is just as ap1t and possibly more so to haveI the same characteristics in publ)ic life.

If you are calling for someone else and a strange voice answers at the other end of the line, do not ask who it is, but inquire first if you have gotten the right number. If so, then ask for the person to whom you wish to speak. Further than that, you have no right to go, for sometimes it is rather em barrassing for the one who has vol unteered to answer your call to give his or her nanne. For Instance, a young 'bride has a little hesitancy about giving her - new entitlements, or a budding young lady knows that in speaking to other than intimate friends, she ought te,put the "Miss" before her name and, in the case of a man, he knows the correct form is to put the "Mr." in front of his name, yet aunny people have a hesitancy about doing these things. Of course, at times it is necessary to find out who the stranger is at the other end of the line, but not often. i)1t. HUGHES iL-ELE-0TED.

Midwinter as it was, we were enabled to make a twenty-five mile ride in a few minutes over an hotr. Laurens has quite a number of interesting pub 119 'buildings. The best is the newly improved county courthouse for try ing people and sending them to jail; then there is a magnificent graded school building, worthy of a city of ten times the population of Laurens. Several of its churches are up-to-date in finest architectural style and beau tiful to look at. On our way back home, and about four miles out of Laurons, we passed another of our county's public buildings. It was a grpup of about 20 little cabins. This constitutes the generous provision that Laurens imakes for its poor. If the Lord Jesus had been along lie would have probably thought he made a mis take when he said "the poor ye have always with you" or else that the peo ple of Laurens county "did not hear Him".-Our Monthly. Soliitor Cooper has never descend ed to the role of persecutor, as has not infrequently occurred in the con doet of certain other solicitors. Ile has always maintained a very lofty conception of his position as State's representative in the Court. ''Ie so licitorship i.; a quasi-judicial oflice, which Solicitor Cooper recognizes; and his conduct towards men charged with crime has always appeared to us to be as a seeker after justice, nothing more. nothing less.--Abbeville Medium. The Lover Ilia]. It is curious that so mucl of the comment, in Nu ;hern and Western newspapers, on the iLever measure for agricultural extension work, has in-iiicated a lack of understanding of the attitudes of the different sections toward better agriculture. It is true that agriculture in some parts of the North is more progressive than in the South. But the decadence of farm it, , in many sections of the North, particularly in New York and New England, has been such as to make very plain that other sections of the country have their troubles in this re gard. The Lever measure looks to co operation between the States and the nation, in the great work of car rying better farming methods direct ly to the farm. That there may he no unjust imposition on the Federal lovern:nent, it provides that every dol lar of Federal money provided for this purpose shall be matehed by an other appropriated by the State. More over, tihe muoney thus provided is to be handled in each State, through the ag ricultural colleges, which are main tain ed, jointly by State and national funds. No State will be able to draw its allotment of the national money until it shall have mamde provision for its own share. This plan will make available a fund wtth which to put demonstrators of modern and scientific farm methods into the field, to go to the farms and help the farmers improve their meth ods. The whole fund of immensely valuable information about good farm ing-prop~er management of soils, crop) rotation, handling of stock, u'sp of fertilizers, andl the thousands of other intensely piractictal subijects on which scientific and practical experi men tation have gathered in formation -will be carriedl right out to the farm er on his farm. It has been found that neither the publication of bulle tina nor the work of the farmers' in ititutes reaches quite thme right spot. Personal touch and contact is requir ed. An export farm demonstration mgent to every rural county, and as nany more of them as county needs nay indicate, is .the ultimate aspira ion. Under the leadership of the late ])r. Searman A. Knapp, the real begin lings of this work were undertaken, ntn the greatest success was met in lhe F-nouth Indeed, thus far the South' ais been vastly tihe most appreciative ollower of the Department of Agricul urec's program for improvement of arming. Perhaps agriculture in the west has becen so firmly estalished tnd prosperous that it has becen a lilt of ty in its attitude toward "book arming," while the South has been rilling to recognize frankly that it ieeds to learn much. At any rate the south has absorbed more than its hare of the benefits of department Letivities. There is no section that cannot rieatly benefit by adopting the south's attitude of ,open-mindedness n these subjects. Especially is this rue of the region east of the Aile hlanies and north of the Potorniac; le country where, despite proxim ty to the best markets and surest emand, agriculture has 'made the >oorcst showing in the last half ceni ury. The Lever program offers lore to tisl netin. if the people will but recognize its possibilities for them. than to any other.-Tho Washington Times. Negro Shoots Another. Yesterday afternoon near the Lau rens Oil Mill, Jonas Young shot and Oangerousy wotndead 'Albert Mere dith, both parties being negroes. An artery in the Meredith negro's leg was severed by the shot and last night there was some danger of his bleeding to death. Soon after the shooting oc cured Officer Jim Powers, on duty at the Laurens Mills, got wind of it and hit the trail of Jonas Young. He found him very shortly afterwards and landed him in the county jail where he now is. The shooting was done with a shot gun. The Forty Year Test. An article must have exceptional merit to survive for a period of forty years. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was first offered to the public in 1872.
