Mr. Editor: Tour readers, doubtless, have all heard in fable, of the man who could make two blades of grass grow where only ore had grown, and was called a benefactor. Tnere is a preacher living in the Brogdon community who is planting two rows of corn where ene ought to be. We d> not know whether some future writer will hold up this minister in allegory as a great benefactor or not. There, however, la another man in the same neigh? borhood, who expects to gather a thousand hush* Is of corn from ten acres of land, with only one row in a place, and far between each other at that. Now If this man's aspirations are realised. I suppose we may ex? pect the parson 10 harvest two thou? sand bushels from the same amount of land. There seem to be no Impos? sibilities in farming these days, for this same divine is expecting to raise enough wheat on one acre to furnish a large family with flour for twelve montha 8elah. One cltisen of this vicinity has changed his tactics and gone largely Into the chicken business. He owns a ni ? in ubator and brooder, and has demonsgMfttd M UM PttbtM that in.-at can be raised at home. What does It ?satter to him, if the price of Western fat hacks do soar, so long as he can produce nice Juky. tender, fowl meat at home. This Rambler has noticed improve? ment along other lines also; every? where Is to be seen the growing gar? dens. The older people of us. remem? ber when we used to sow early cab? bage seed on good Friday, and were afraid to plant beets and English peas until spring had thoroughly settled over the land. This scribe, in his rambling ,-.-n permitted to see into the hom??* of some of our farm? ers?there he has found the spirit of real l mtentment prevailing, which would be hard to rind elsewhere. There he has found the parents and children, around the family tlreslde reading the county papers, a few religious papers, and a number of th. best books, and magazines: these creating a moral atm-sph^re which Is the bulwark of true civilization, and human happiness. No trashy literature, or cheap novels are found there to poison the bright minds of our youth. Here we can see the forces of evolution at work, bringing Into our . ountrv, with each su< ceed Ing K? n. ration. | gobler type of men and women. This scribe does not, howcv.T, mean to reflect by any means upon the present or any of the past generations, for we can only look Into the future and exclaim! Oraat sons of noble sires! We have very little sickness in our community. The farmers are pretty well through plantln," corn. The small grain crop Is \erv prom? ising at this ttniM.

THE MAN WHO SAVF.k MONEY. \\uilnble Cash Is the Greatest Force In All the World. Heady cash is the greatest movln.M f<>rc?> in the business world. Many a man can date the beginning of his life's failure from the day he tlrst felt the dire need of a litle ready cash, and was forced to borrow it. Others, who could not borrow, missed the great opportunity of their lives to get a start on the road to independence and wealth. Commodore Vanderbilt worked night and day, saving every penny until he had $3,000, then, with this amount in cash, he was enabled to buy the business that was to be the cornerstone of his immense fortune. When the children of today are being regaled with the time-worn story of Oeorge Washington's little hatchet it would be a splendid plan to vary the theme by telling them of Oeorge Washington's little account book. From boyhood he kept the strictest account of his exepnditures, being careful each week to show an increase in the "cash on hand." The boy or man with some ready money has a feeling of healthy in? dependence to be secured In no other way. How many are there who can not recall the time when we have been forcd to say, "Oh, if I only had a little money to start with, I could make a fortune?" "There Is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Ask the great finan? ciers of today whether they doubt the truth of the statement. Our mer? chant princes, our mine owners, our land holders, any and all of the men who have accumulated great wealth will tfll you that the first change in the tide of their affairs was due to the careful investment of a little money. How would the late Marshal Field have bought an interest in the firm by whom he was employed if he had not saved and accumulated" a few thousand dollars of available cash? John Wanamaker is another man who from a salary of $1.50 a week. sa\. d ten cents a day car fare by walking four miles to and from work, laying the ten cents away, hoping some day to have enough money to buy himself a business that would al? low him to ride in his own carriage. Not all can be Vanderbilts, Wana makers or Marshall Fields, but the experience of these great money kings points out the way to money making and money-keeping, and most people can, If they will, go to a reasonable length in that direction. There are philosophers that con? tend that are greatest curse in the world today is debt, and this debt Is fed and nourished by the great army of spenders, who prefer to be con? stantly harassed by debt than to lay up for the future by paying and sav? ing, with cash. Such a course al? ways spells failure. How New Comets Are Discovered. New comets are usually discovered by an astronomer after careful and diligent search with a telescope of low pet - r. Such a quest demands an al? most infinite amount of patience in nightly scanning the heavens up and down In the hope of detecting a stranger in our midst. So close a wat' h is kept that seldom does an Intruder escape the eager eyes of the sentries and attack the citadel as happened with the first comet of the year 1910. Comet A, 1910. eluded all ?yea till it became very bright and quite close to the sun, and an astron? omer was not the first to see it. Sometimes a comet is accidentally found <>n a photographic plate expos? ed for some other purpose, such a one being the Morehouse comet of 1908. If the comet is not a new one, but the return of one already known, it In possible to direct the telescope to the point in the sky where it is ex? pected, and a long exposure photo? graph may dotoet It. Halley's comet discovered on September 11, 1909, on a photograph taken for the purpose by Prof. Max Wolf, of Ger Diany. At the time the comet was \erv faint, and looked exactly like a very small star.?From "The Return of Halley'a Comet.*1 by s. a. Mitchell, In the American Review of Uevlews for April.

MARRYING EASY FOR THEM. Sioux (ili-ls Own Farms And Their Children Bring 160 Acres Apiece. In Gregoryi B, D., I saw a bright eyed, hard-muscled, clean-looking young fellow from Iowa who had just returned from a honey-moon trip to Sioux Falls with as neat a piece of red calico as you would tlnd in a long day's journey. The girl was sus? piciously close to the age limit fixed by the government, but intelligence, good humor and true womanly na? ture beamed from her button-bright eyes. I happened to follow this couple into a restaurant, and T took a seat near them. The girl was plainly dressed in a neat plum-colored trav? eling suit, and the only thing about her make-up that suggested the In? dian was a pair of wide-beaded bracelets of striking color and de? sign. The honeymoon pair talked low over the table, the girl looking proudly at her new husband while he ordered dinner, and when he laid down the bill of fare her hand stole under it and pressed tightly upon his. She blushed a little, just as a white girl would have done, when a ranch man came in, slapped her husband on the back and congratulated them both in the crude, prairie folk way. When the meal was served she ate with her fork. And mind you, she was a full blooded Sioux whose people were carving white men only a few years ago and didn't know a fork from a French horn. After they had gone out, the man who had congratulated them told me all about it. She's got as pretty a piece of gov? ernment land as there is on White River," said he, "good rich gumbo. She's a nice girl?been to school six or seven years, and sho'll make Char? ley a good wife. If they have as many as three children heil get a Whole section, counting hers, and that's going to be worth $16,000 or $20,000 in 10 years, the way land'*: going up now." No great wonder, is it, that so many young men of the Prairies, who know pretty girls and good land when they see them, are fascinated by the black eyed Sioux maidens? How England Got In Debt. The Lloyd-George programme of public finance, whose promulgation a year ago precipitated the most re? markable fiscal controversy in the history of modern England, was the logical outcome of a situation which has long been in process of develop? ment. Speaking broadly, it was dur? ing England's twenty-two-year con? test with republican France and with Xapolean that the nation was? started upon the career of indebtedness, pub? lic expenditure, and augmented taxa? tion which has led straight to the fis? cal complications of the present day. The struggle with the French was easily the i oiliest of all modern wars. Upon it Great Britain expend? ed the sum of ?831,500,000 ($4,157, 500,000),?very much more than the aggregate outlay of the nation upon all other wars in which it has had a part since the times of Oliver Crom? well. The consequence was threefold. In the first place, the national debt, which in 1792 stood at ?237,000,000, was augmented by upwards of ?622, 000,000. In the second place, there was a great leap upward on the part of ordinary, recurring expenditures. After 1815 the army and navy called for an outlay of from three to four times the amounts allocated to these services in Pitt's frugal budgets prior to the war; while the annual interest charge upon the debt had come to be no less than f:',2,000,000, or upwards of twice the total public expenditure for all purposes in 1702. A third con? sequence of the war outlay was the piling up of taxation beyond all pre? cedent, so that a yield of ?19,260,000 In 17!?2 had been raised, by 1815, to ?74,500,000. And although after the restoration of peace there was some remission of taxation, so that by 1818 the yield had been reduced to ?59, r 00,000, far the larger part of the l luden Imposed by the costs of the French wars has been carried by the taxpayers of the realm from that day to this. But for Interest charges lm posed by Camperdown and Trafalgar and Waterloo, Mr. Lloyd-George would have had ample means a year ago tor the paying of pensions to the aged and the building of new Dread? noughts without the necessity of ad? ditional taxation at all.?From "The Public Finances of Qreal Britain," by Frederic Austin (>gkr.

Like NunnaUy't" Something over a year ago it was ount Vesuvlous that occupied the ntre of the world's tragic stage. Today it is Mount Aetna. The tur ulent old cauldron whic h is spread g terror throughout the whole is nd of Sicily is the largest active vol ano in Europe. At the base it is 90 iles in circumference and from the ue Mediterranean, which at this dnt is 6,000 feet deep, it rises to an ltitude of 10,738 feet above the level the sea. It is said that upon the surface of e mountain there are 200 subsidiary craters, a startling statement which bears testimony to the destructive record in times past of this deadly fire trap. Within the limits of authentic his? tory the first eruption of Mount Aet? na occurred in 476 B. C, but it was followed in c'ose succession by at least ten others. One of the greatest disasters ever wrought by the old volcano occurred in 1169, when 15,000 persons living in the towns and villages at the base of the mountain were buried under-', notes In the sum of $2'200- Th* found for the plaintiff in the sum of $750.

Bishopville, April 1.?The March term of common pleas court conven? ed last Monday with Special Judge Henry Mullins of Marion presiding. The first case taken up was O. W. Weatherly vs. E. B. Du Rant, suit on neath the lava. Another frightful visitation occur? red in 1668, when 20,000 lives were lost. Recently the volcano has been on good behavior. But in 1862 it wove for the surrounding atmosphere veil of ashes which extended for miles and completely obscured the sun. It also opened a fissure two miles in length on the east side of the mountain and for days the flow of lava is said to have been phenomenal. Scientists are still puzzled over the queer volcanic riddles. Says a writer in The Chicago Even? ing Post: "Voltaire explained the fossil shells found in the Alps by saying that they had been dropped there by the cru? saders returning from Palestine. We have gained a clearer insight into the earth's structure than this, but we can not yet pretend to interpret or predict outbursts of volcanic action. Whether Aetna will provide in this instance merely a mighty spectacle or whether it will overwhelm towns and cities as of old, seems to be, also as of old, upon the knees of the gods." W. W. DesChamps & Co. vs. W. F. Outlaw, a suit for the recovery of certain personal property or its value in the sum of $150. The jury render? ed a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $50. Plaintiff noted a motion for a new trial, which was afterwards argued and granted. In the case of T. C. Parham vs. G. O. Rogers, a non-suit was granted for the reason that plaintiff was not ready for trial. In the case of R. M. Jenkins vs. Tarl Teerling, a suit on contract for $400, the jury found for plaintiff $314. In the suit of the Clinton Cotton Mills vs. Robert M. Cooper for the price of a carload of cottonseed meal, asking $503, the jury found for plain? tiff the sum of $228. The last case disposed ~>f. was J. L. Stokes vs. William Murrt y, suit for the possession of real e&tate. The court granted a non-suit kI^t the plaintiff had closed his case. "I tried to get a chance to speak to you at church Sunday," said Mrs Oldcastle, "but the crush was so great that I couldn't push through to where you were."
