Editor County Record:?After
a pleasant outing for two
weeks up in the hills of Virginia
and three days at the Jamestown
exposition, I thought I
would let you arid the public
know that I am back at the old
stand, eating three meals a day
and sleeping well at night.
Well, what I have seen is
more than I can tell. One thing
I am more thourgbly convinced
of than ever before. That is
hat Eastern South Carolina is
the best place I have ever found
for the farmer, and when the
farmer is prosperous, you know
the rest. Well, I found the
crops in Virginia not half so
good as in South Carolina?that
is, corn and tobacco. That's
about all I saw. Crops there
6eem to have 6ufered for rain,
al60 the fruit crop is very poor,
on account of the late, cool
spring, and I tind the labor
question much more serious
there than here, the lady folks
doing all their domestic work
themselves and the men theirs.
Well, after a week's stay in
the Piedmont eating light-bread,
butter- milk, etc., I began to feel
like starting out for the James
XOWn exposition, <tnu iu cuuijjany
with a few of those beautiful
Virginia girls, we boarded the
train at News ferry, a few miles
e?st of Danville, and found a
train of eigh fc coaches tilled to
its fullest seating capacity, all
bound for Norfolk and the Ex/
position. Oh! how I wished I
could have called back about 25
years. So .far as my looks I
could have passed off all o. k.,
but alas! I had my daughter
along and, she would call me
papa. But on we went winding
around those hills at a lively
rate, and while in conversation
with a gentleman on board about
those hills, he said, "Why
these are no hills, you just ought i
? to be up where I live. Why
when we get after a squirrel up
there he never runs up a tree to
get away from you, but always
runs down the tree/' I said,
"Well, a new idea for me should
I ever go to the mountains
squirrel hunting." After six
hours run we came in sight of
the famous old city of Richmond (
and soon we were safely landed
at the Southern depot, but
quickly transferred to the Chesapeake
& Ohio and sent on our
way rejoicing at the rate of a- j
bout 60 miles an hour,and at 7:30
rearhed Newnnrt News. SteD
ping off the cars right on to the
ferry boat, one of the most
beautiful I have ever seen, tive
minutes after getting off the
cars we were steaming along
on the waters of Chesapeake
bay. Our first stop was at the
Exposition grounds for about
30 minutes, thence around to
Norfolk and our host was there
waiting on the wharf to take us
to our resting place. Well, after
a good night's rest and plenty
of refreshments, I felt like
taking in the sights of the exposition.
So by hanging to the
side of a street car I was soon
landed at the gate of entrance
got my pass and entered and I
was only on the grounds a short
while before I began to realize
that the admission fee was not
all it cost a man to see the
sights. Let me say right here,
I think every thing unreasonably
high on the lair grounds and
also in Norfolk, 25 cents for a
shave, 25 cents for a boy to carry
your grip down to the boat,
and a fellow that is as timid
and has as poor an appetite as
I do, it will take $1.50 to give
him a square meal, and what
about such men as John T. and
J J Eaddy and W H Harmon?
Oh my) $5 at least. Well, the
exposi|nai^^^ good, 1 think
worth.^^^^^IRried to take in
all I could in the limited time I j
; had and am pleased with all 11
saw, and now to you young men !
of Williamsburg let me say I
was very much pleased with the
Snnth Carolina exhibit. There
is none better and everywhere I
went in the State of Virginia 1
heard,"don't fail to see the South
Carolinae xhibit; it's the best of
all.*' Now, what I want to impress
upon you is that there is
i do place in these United States ,
better than South Carolina. ''
Content yourselves, get an edu-1
cation, settle down and apply it
to the development of the various
industries and be happy and
wealthy.
And, now Mr Editor, but for
one thing I would stop right
here; for 1 hav'nt got all the
1 cinders out of my eyes yet:
Your Lake City correspondent
made mention of my old friend,
H .1 Williamson's 5 1-2 acres of
tobacco weighing 1400 lbs per
acre and bringing a net average
of $140 per acre. I can't yield
the cake to my old friend Williamson.
1 sold 17,000 lbs from
12 acres, a clear check for $143.78
per acre.
With be6t wishes to you, Mr |
Editor and all the readers of I
The Record, I am
Very respectfully,
J Davis Carter,

j Those who desire to pay their taxes
! through the mail, would expedite matI
ters by dropping the Treasurer a postal
asking for the amount of their tax so as
; to avoid sending the wrong amount,
| also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
ana if possible give school district where
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both are wanted.
After paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered, if not, see about itat once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.

There are a great many people who
have slight attacks of indigestion
j and dyspepsia nearly all the time.
Their food may satisfy the appetite
but it fails to nourish the body simply
because the stomach is not in fit
: condition to do the work it is sup1
posed to do. It can't digest the food
you eat. The stomach should be
given help. You ought take something
that will do the work your
stomach can't do. Kodol For Inj
digestion and Dyspepsia, a combinaj
tion of natural digestants and vegej
table acids, digests the food itself

The Married Women1! Sympathy.
When a married woman meets a particularly
attractive, busy, contented
spinster, she says plaintively: "Poor
Ada, or Virginia. or Euinieline! What
a pity that she never married!" She
cannot help it ant more than she can
help the color of ber ha!r. When
Frederick? fumbling Ureadruli.v, uy lue i

he endowed her not only with nil hi*

"He who Judges people by their
money." said a clergyman, "Is apt to ,|

" 'No, sir,' said John, sadly. T have

" "Wretched boy,' the father exclaimed.
How did you lose It?

Fond of Crab.
A jolly old boy from the Midlands
entered Into one of the howls at: the
seaside and, seeing on the Blab on the
right a crab dressed on the shell with
legs, claws and parsley ranged round,
aaid to the landlord:
"What d'ye call that?"
"Crab," was the answer.

An Epitaph of Pope's.
The following epitaph written by
Pope was highly commended by Johnson.
It was written to keep alive the
memory of Elizabeth Corbett, who i
sleeps now In St Margaret's, Westminster:
Here rests a woman, good without pretense.
Blest with plain reason an 1 with sober
sense;
No conquest the but o'er herself d'wired; !
No arts essayed, but not to be admired.
Passion and pride were to her soul unknown,
<
Convinced that virtue only In our own;
Bo unaffected, so composed u mind,
Bo firm, yet soft; so strong yet so refined.
Heaven, as Its purest gold, by tortures
tried;
The saint sustained It, but the woman
died.
Von. j
In Germany "von" Implies nobility,
and all persons who belong to the nobility
prefix "von" to their names without
any exception. Persons who-do I
not belong to the nobility cannot have
the right to put "von" before their
names. A man who In knighted for <
some reason, however, tias the same
right to put "von" before his family
name as a person of ancient nobility.
For Instance, when Alexander Humboldt
was knlgbted he became Alexander
von Hnmboldt. All bin descendants,
male and female, take the prefix.
Haven of Rest.
It Is desirable that each sex shoold
occasionally escape from the other. It 1
Is restful to the nerves to do so; It Is 1
good for men to be with imen only and <
for women to be alone with women
now and then, and the clnb Is essentlally
the place for each sex to find
vast from the other an&enjoj ja own
society.?London LaitOnf'Pictorial.
