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 on a visit this week. 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 CtinPA T Viorl Kaon * 1"1 W.UVW ? UUVU UICICUIIU lb ldb 11KC 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. BtWmfcO Salve HrWaanMlie. Coanty Pension Board. By order of the Secretary, N. B Eison, the County Pension Board will meet Saturday, 13th inst. A full board is urgently requested to assemble, as there will be .much business of importance to come before the board. 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 must not charge too much?wo don't. G. E. Clazon, tomb-stones and monuments, Spartanburg. Wm. P. Shakp, Salesman, State Press Association. At the meeting of the executive committeo of the State Press Association in Colombia on the night of the 4th, it was decided that the Association accept the invitation to visit St. Louis in May.

Returning, the party will ceme home via Nashville and Chattanooga. The annual meeting will be held at Whitestone Springs, on July G. A fine programme has been arranged. 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. Whpn fnnnH r\ovf rr.r>rnlnir f Vio oVtiolr. en had a broken neck and Will so badly bruised and leg bo badly sprained that he could not move, he had to stay where he fell till help came. 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.
