Last Monday and Tuesday the 1 liter drove about seventy milei to \ isit three local unions in Williams hurg County. It was quite a "swing around the circle" in a small way, leaving the following places all to my left: Turheville 4 miles; Olanta, 8 miles; Lake City, 7 miles; Cades 6 miles; Kingstree, 8 miles; Greeley vllle, 8 miles; Foreston, 5 miles; Manning, 7 miles; Sumter, 10 miles and Mayesvllle, 7 miles. Dozens of fields of cotton and to? bacco can not make more than half a crop under the most fa\orahle con? ditions from now on?too late. Cot? ton with not one-tenth of a stand was painfully in evidence on each side of the road along almost the en? tire route. Generally right along side of a Meld that has a good stand and Is very promising, for where an early stand was secured it will make a full crop. Except for the hare Heids without a stand of cotton, or the poorly developed1 tobacco there were evidences along every mile of the way of some wood farming. Hain is needed along the entire route for Monday night's storm was only a drizzle along 40 miles traveled, a barely good ram heeribouts, and good showers toward * Lakt City and near Mouzon's bridge. Hut in spite of the dry spring, or rather by ? n of it. there is promise of a fine corn crop, if good rains will but fall at proper Intervals for the next few weeks. 4 set Hlaek river Is about as low as it has tvof been known to be. the entire swamp at the two-mil- orOMlUg he low Mnuzon'.* bridge is absolutely dry, except the main run which is so low It will not run ovel the shoe tops it many places. e o s At each place the 'old guard' turned out and gave the organiser a r. ?-HaT erelcome sud these three onions will shown i clean balance -he*', with .ii the weak !? m uceded out, at th< count) union meeting ?. grand ? ii\ at K ^ tree when the county campaign is finished in July.

And they are going. The man who goes without his hoy or girl or wife, ought to he put on the outside right off. E. W. I). It takes a good deal of a man to he j a bread-winner these days. Those who have competition don't consider it the life of trade. More people lay up on a rainy day than lay up for a rainy day. A good deal of our so-called prog? ress Is of the circular variety. The surest way to get rich quick is to learn to labor and to wait. A city-bred education inevitably be? comes a city-feeding education. What the farmer wants now is hon? est hearts and willing farm hands. Faith without knowledge is like a pair of suspenders without buttons. He who most profitably employs hll time has the most time to spare. Eat, drink and he merry for to? morrow it will cost a darn sight more. , There is always a bumper crop of ' Use and the harvesters are plenty enough.
