It does seem -he farmers have had a tough old :ime of it this year. Once so dry and :hen again so wet, but it seems that they have been so patient in looking to the greatest powers of the world to make a chance, so as the old saying goes, "The darkest hour is just before day." and every cloud has its silver lining. There have been many happenings and calamities this year; all for the hest we hope. The Bible tells us that we will be beaten with many stripes, so some of us have been beaten already^ don't you think? So f-.'s a father chastises "his children God may be chastising us. Life is a school. Events are teachers. Are we not learning? As this writer sits in the lonely cottaere todav. that stands bv the rnnd Iiis thoughts go back to bygone days. And it does seem to me there is an inspiration comes to me as I write and my thoughts are many and too numerous to write, but this makes us think of life and how we have lived that life and how we should live the life in the future. Have you thought af neglected opportunities? Have you ever thought about the good deeds you have done and those we have neglected to do. We go along in a sort : af haphazard way, not stopping to think about this old self of ours. We are sometimes so selfish that we never "are or think of the other fellow's :roubles until it comes to our own loor. I think sometime how weak and "oolish we poor mortals are. We should all live to be a' better people. Rev. J. H. Steen of Columbia, renn., is preaching at Jonesville, helpng Rev. Porter in a protracted meetng held in the Presbyterian church, areaching about three sermons a day, wo at the church and one on the pub- | ic streets near the depot. I listened ;o his sermon at the depot today. This preacher means something. Those who don't go to hear him at the hurch will hear him on the street. He is going after them. I heard a nan say he knew a fellow that hadn't )een to church in a' good long time, ,vas going down on the street to lis.en to him, and he believed the preachng had made some good impression >11 him. I met Miss Carrie Going of Kelton ind Miss Willie Levister of Carlisle it the Junction today. Miss Levister spent the week-end with Miss Going ind now Miss Going goes home with ler to tea'ch school near Carlisle. \ Mr. B. F.

TRAXLER WILL GARRY GREENVILLE COUNTY BY TWO THOUSAND Made Wonderful Campaign in Home County. (Political Advertisement). The official congressional campaign in Greenville county is ?nded, and it is evident to even I he most superficial observer lhat Dave Traxler will carry the county by the biggest majority uriven a congressional candidate in twenty years. He has surprised even his closest friends, for even these lid not know his skill as a getter jf votes. Traxler had all the winning :ards when he first entered the race. He had the moral endorsement of the administration in Washington; he had letters from the highest officials in the postoffice department to the efEoot Umi. dllVITiK Kin a?o postmaster of Greenville, he had 3een one of the most effective ' ind efficient postmasters in the ? United States; he had the assurance that Blease and anti-Blease ines would be drawn by the /oters, and that the Blease voters were outnumbered; and finally he had the race to make against a man who has done absolutely nothing while congressnan. Mr. Traxler believes that imnediately after the close of the var in Europe untold thousands >f Europe's lowest classes will ush to this country to escape aurdfensome taxes, and that vages will drop to the ground is a result. He will, if elected ;o Congress, introduce a bill to . ceep out all immigrants for a )eriod of ten years, following he war. He believes in federal aid for ichools. He believes that all text jooks should be furnished free, ind that the government should iupport in each small district literary and industrial schools o the colleges of today, in order hat the poorest citizen might educate his children. The people know that he has ;erved his party well. They know hat he has succeeded in every iob he has ever undertaken. They believe he is clean; that he s dependable, and that he is a gentleman in private as well as n public. . If he keeps up his present gait intil the close of the campaign, ^ ...ill ? * " a it; win win in tne nrst primary. But if he should split the vote 'airlv even with his opponents, n the other counties, his majority in Greenville county will probably insure his election. WHY SHE OBJECTED. "I hear (hat Florrie has broken off ler en^a^ement with you, old chap," said one man to another. "Yes," replied the second. ^ "I say, I'm awfully sorry to hear t. Whatever did she quit for?" "Just because I stole a kiss," said * he disconsolate one, sadly. ~ "(beat Scott!" exclaimed his 'riend. "Surely she must be crazy c f she objects to her (iance stealing J i kiss from hei." The abandoned one sighed deeply. "But that's just the trouble," he r (aid. "I didn't steal it from her!"? P \nswers, London.
