Agrtcola's Rambles.
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?

dens. The older people of us. remem?

afraid to plant beets and English peas
until spring had thoroughly settled

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

religious papers, and a number of th.
best books, and magazines: these

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,

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

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

Something over a year ago it was

Today it is Mount Aetna. The tur
ulent old cauldron whic h is spread

iles in circumference and from the

It is said that upon the surface of

craters, a startling statement which
bears testimony to the destructive
record in times past of this deadly

COURT IX BIKHOPVILLK.
A Helpful Suggestion.
Civil Term Completed in Four Days.
?Special Judge Presiding.
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.
