Hey Denver Attends Sunday

Visits the Dam.
The temperature lias driven tho
mercury in the tubes of the thermometers
away yonder from towards zero.
We are hating a foretaste of March
winds, weeds are showing up, pond
frogs are rattling away at their jarring,
grating songs, but that does not
signify that we are to havo no more
cold weather. As the little boy told
his grandmother to "stand up" when
the gun kicked her over, "there is
eleven more loads yet." I am going
to stay close to my coat until the
middle of April.
I have hunted news for nearly two
weeks, and only have a poor budget
as yet.
Mr. Kemp Thomas, of Union, was
in Santuc Sunday.
Miss Julia Thomas went to Union

Mr. J. D. Stokes, of Whitmire,
visited at his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Stokes, Sunday.
Mr. C, W. T. Willard, of the
Black Rock section, was in Santuc
Monday and called at our place of
business to see us.
Mr. Smith Wood, of Spartanburg,
representing a monument firm, was
' here Monday on business.
J Mr. Walker Johns, State constable,
is here visiting his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. S. K. Johns, and incidentally
casting his eye around for "conI
traband."
Mr. S. K. Johns had the mis-*
fortune to lose his inilch cow this
week. She had only been pining a
few days.
That was a dark cloud, 6ure. that
we had Sunday, and one that naturally
fills one with ave, and some
probably with abject fear. The rain
fall was not heavy, but the wind for
a few minutes was severe. Gardens,
and fencing were blown down, and
so far, I have heard of two houses,
a crib and a well house on the Sims
place being blown down. Thunder
pealed almost like summer time.
Any one who wishes can now haul
to the dam and the money to be
spent can be distributed among the
many. This is right, let there be
free trade, legitimate competition.
Work to be done on ones merit for
that work. I have had it in me to
bo oppoood to all trusts or combines,
unless it is a trust to fight a worse
trust. There are a good many now
doing work picking up some of the
change that is being spent for hauling.
I attended the Sunday School
Convention at Beulah Saturday before
and 5th Sunday. The weather
was cold, but Saturday was bright
and Sunday cloudy, but none of us
were frozen nor did we get wet. The
attendance by school delegates and
visitors was small, but there was a
convention, as sure as you live, and
those who labored to make it a meeting
are satisfied that they succeeded
in making it "meeting." I enjoyed
myself hugely, taking a social view,
especially so. I always do at Beulah.
It had been several months

I was going to take in a big treat,
and I did. Thoso Bculah people
are very social and I never fail to
enjoy myself when with them.
I went over to the dam last week,
the first time since it was started. I
never did lose my head over the
thing nor lose much time, but really
I wanted to go long ago but always
found myself pressed with work.
There is much to be seen and it is
impossible to grasp the enormity of
the business there where they are
fixing up the set of harness for old
Broad, while it is gliding by in the
same old manner that it has done for
centuries seemingly unconserned that
it will soon have to be broken to
the harness. I am going back again
soon and wish to tike a note book.
If one can it will do good to go and
see it.
I mupt e that I am glad cotton
prices have fallen. It was not
a healthy price and ane that I cannot
believe was actuated by supply
and demand, and very few producers
were being benefitted, and on the
other hand consumers will have to
pay much higher prices to satisfy the
speculators. i Delieve in a fair stiff
price, but not an abnormal one fixed
by gamblers ' and for them only.
Now perhaps this feeling will have a
tendency to cure a certain kind of
foolishness and people may take it
into their noggins to plant more food
crops. Guano is just pouring in?
for mere cotton I guess. I believe
in manuring, but judiciously. I believe
it will pay but not if it is to
torn your mind from a home supply
orop. We all had better try to raise
enough for home use. Then we will
be "healed." Het Denver.

Funny But True.
Sell a man at a fair profit and treat
him right and he is your friend. Sell
him at a loss and he ever has a contempt
for yon. Now dou't you appreciate
this trait in man? But you

Chicken Thief Caught.
Last Saturday night Will Hunter,
hungry for chickens, made a trip to
the home of Halam Abrams, where
he found several chickens roosting in
an apple tree, ho helped himself to
one or more; just then some watchful
dogs disputed Will's right to the
fowls and gave chase. Will ran and,
it being quite dark, fell into the railroad
cut, holding on to the chicken.

badly bruised and leg bo badly sprained

Hi Henry's Minstrels.
Hi Henry's Famous Minstrels
played here Monday night to the
largest audience that ever assembled
in the opera house to witness the perlurinanoo
of a mioairal troupe.
The scenery of the occasion represented
an ideal conception of Rome's
glory, "the Court of Nero." The
latest popular ballads and operatic
selections were sung.
Mr. Geo. S. Van, the master of
ceremonies, is still with Hi Henry,
and it will bo pleasantly remembered
when he was here before tnade such
a "hit" with the play going public.
"Arthur Deming'' and "Johnny
Dove" were the premiers and their
jokes and songs were good. The acrobats
deserve special mention for
their good performances.
The matinee .was a repetition of
the performance Monday night.
Is it a Sin to Dance?
This question has been asked and
I answer it positively?Yes, the dancing
of the sexes together is a sin.
1st. It is a sin because it allows
our girls to be embraced by men in
dancing, and that opens the way for
such privileges in secret. It is much
hnrrlAr fnr u mt./> V.???. ??
???... ?v. w gift* it uw iinn uccu cm braced
by a man in the dance, to resist
his offers in private, than if she
had never been embraced by him.
The first kiss and hug are the only
hard ones to get and the danco prepares
the way,
2nd. It is a sin, because maguetic,
designing men take advantages'of
the positions allowed by the dance
to stir the passions of innocent, bat
amorous girls and lead them to ruin.
I do not say that all who dajpce are
impure in thought, or have their
sexual natures aroused, but I know
that many do, and are lead to ruin.
Therefore I say that the dance, having
been the cause of such evil in
some cases, is sin in itself.
If it is wrong for our girls to be
embraced and carrcssed by men, then
the danoe is a sin. Anything that
' has led any one to sin is wrong in itself.
But for the sexual animation
produced by physical contact in the
dance, but few would danoe,
I can't tell all I know on this ooint.
but I know enough to say positively
that there Is evil in the embraces of
the dance to our girls, and right
there Is our greatest danger Just now.
What thinking mother will say it is
right for her daughter to be held in
the embrace of wicked men? And
we know that almost nil wicked mon
are leaders in the dance?men whose
lives are nothing but lust, embrace
girls who go from mother's arms puro
and Innocent. Yes, It Is a sin and a
shame. 0. F.
