We should not let l he I 20 cent cotton keep us from trying to make other things. You see how the ' wheat and small grain has advanced i \ir? ..n i 1 ill Jiiitv. in: ell i nei; liuvv nit' pr'CCS of Hour is advancing. I don't think ! the Viijrh price cotton has helped much 1 when everything else has prone so high. Hadn't we better prepare for these prices and the best way is to make 1 everything we can at home. I was in Cherokee county last week and I was at a prominent farmer's home for a while, Mr. J. 1). Jeffries. He had just finished a new barn for his cattle. This was for his cows. He told me he was proinpr to raise more < cattle and make fruit. He has a very fine orchard. I see he is taking care of his orchard; has raked the dirt from around his peach trees at the root to keep the worms from raising. This is a (rood preventive. The boring worm that does a great deal of damage will freeze out and have no place to live during the winter when this is done. He tells me he is going to spray his trees and that is the thing, for I have tried both these myself. I know one man who is making some money by hog raising. There are a great many other ways to make money besides making it out of cotton. Now, let everyone try and not plant too much cotton another year. You see now how it is that you got so much for your cotton this year. It was ^ 1- 1 i/vtouoc tiacic waa iiuu au uiui'll IUUUC. Well, don't plant every thing in cotton t next year and you will get good prices again. Experience teaches us a whole lot. The boll weevil may reach us before a great while and we had better get ready for the evils that might come. While in Cherokee county I spent the night with two more of Cherokee's progressive farmers, Mr. Both Hughes and Mr. W. G. Fowler. Mr. Fowler moved from near Kelton, known as the Pea Ridge section of Union county, about 20-odd years ago. He takes the Union Times, reads of the happenings of his old county . He and his family are always glad to have their friends visit them and made many inquiries about the^r old friends in this county. I found there were a few fine hogs to die from what was thought to be cholera. Mr. .Jonas Fowler and Mr. Munroe Kirby of the Rehoboth section had lost several hogs and others that I was told of. I was also in the Adamsburg section, stopping at the home of Mr. Ashmore Vanderford, where we enioved his kind hospitality. Well, we are always glad to meet the good people wherever we pro and we find the pood people largely in the majority. One of the Boy Scouts of Jonesville said he read my letters and he wanted me to say something about them, but I never asked him any question to get any information, hut I guess he wanted me to say something in my way. I don't know what to say about these boys, only these boys are to make the men of the future, and now, boys, I will say just now is the time to begin to make your life what it should be in the future. Boy Scouts, you should try and learn to think a great deal of your Boy Scouts, as you call them. He should feel like your brother. You must stand by him, help him if he should get in distress. Everyone should try and make the Scouts a success. You should feel proud of yourfioK'PS Kllf 1?A krt??o?Ufi?

Well, I \\|1 say when I see you in your uniform you look gentlewanly and you must act that way as well as look that way. Well, boys, I have said this to you and T hope it won't be said amiss. I may think of something to tell you next time. There will be an oyster supper at the Gault school l^use next Saturday ni^ht, the 9th. Kveryone come and enjoy the occasion.

KELTON Kel ton, Doc .4.?Wo thank the weather man for the continued beautiful weather that we are having*. Urn. Croft, the Mt. Joy pastor, carried Miss Leathia Kelly, Mrs. Sumter Sanders and the writer to Union in his car today. Mr. Croft is a careful and safe driver and we enjoyed the trip. I can truly say that I enjoyed week before last issue of The Union Times. It was full of interesting reading matter. It carried my mind back to the trying times of the sixties and seventies when the souls of true men and women were tested and weighed in the halo/ es and found not wanting. I searched carefully and looked at the nictures of those patriotic men and true women, some of the faces of the men never to he looked upon in this world again. The issue was not altogether complete, as I failed to see mine and brother comrade, W. II. S. Harris' picture there, hut we do not feel like the old darkey did. Their members decided to build a new church, so they all went to work and soon had a church and their pastor came to preach in it and had many good words to say of the brothers, calling them by name. One old brother who had helped from the beginning to the finish, was left out. After ser, vices he said to some of the brethren, "I helped build this house and helped drive the last nails and I never heard f mv name mentioned." Surely he felt slighted. As to the Civil war it would ' have been a great blessing if it had never been. Thousands of our best men never would have fallen in battle or died of disease. T had one uncle . who had four sons in service. Three r were killed in battle; one died of dis? 'nt xr . i i nu iNonn was not all to Maine. ' We had men in the South who were to blame. If we had had enough such men living then as Woodrow Wilson I ' believe the war would have been averted. There was Ex-Judpre Rob> ert Monroe and Ex-Gov. Perry, who fought secession but when our State seceded they fell in line with their people. Monroe too old to pro to the , front, but was represented by five or six sons as I have been informed. Of course if we had had no Civil war we would never have had any Ku-Klux war. If there ever was any just cause for mob law it was when the Ku-Klux were taking the law in their own hands. Carpetbaprprers came from the North, came South, organized the ;gnorant neprroes who had the votes and t elected provernors and all State and national officers, collected taxes, put it in their pockets, run the States in 1 debt; not that taxes were so high but " they pocketed the tax money. We appealed to the Federal provernment for relief, but we pcot none. What else could we do to protect our women and children and our God-given liberty? j Mr. Daniel Garner, an old Confederate Veteran, has been quite "siek. -?I am glad to report him better. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Gault and little daughter visited relatives in Charlotte, j N. C., last week. They report a very pleasant and enjoyable trip. t Rev. J. R. Copeland of the Kelton circuit has moved with his family to Cowpens, where he will serve the Cherokee circuit. Rev. Mr. Kelly has moved in the Kelton parsonage and will serve the Kelton charge this year. 9 G. T. G. 1 N KW*HOPR e New Hope, Dec. 4.?Our holiday, Thanksgiving, passed off very quietly in our community. Very little hunting was done. Most everybody enjoyed their dinner at home I guess the new 1 law on hunting was why hunting was 1 so quiet this time. Christmas is now nearly with us. i We can't realize how near it is. The oyster supper at Mr. B. W , Whitlock's store realized a good sum - of $13.00, which will go to paying foi s the piano at the church. The regular service was held at New Hope Sunday with our same pastor back, Mr. Justus. We were glad to have him hack with us. Mrs. J. (I. Bishop spent Thanksgiving in Spartanburg with her brother Mr. Joe Scott. Other brothers and k sisters attended the dinner at Mr Scott's. A regular family reunion was helded and a fine time reported. 1 Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Whitlock of Boham community visited parents, Mr and Mrs. B. W. Whitlock Sunday. Rev. M.

SUFFERED 15 YEARS Doctors Had Told Her That No Medicine Would Do Her Any Good. "I have trained twenty pounds since taking Tanlac and my improvement in every way has been so jrreat that when I stand before the looking-glass I am actually amazed and hardly know myself," was the remarkable statement made by Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings, of Hephzibah, Ga., to the Tanlac representative at Howard's Drug Store, at Augusta, Ga., a few days ago. "Fifteen years ago." continued Mrv Jenninps, "my health bepan to fail and I bepan to take medicine, and the more I took the faster I seemed to po down hill. My troubles multiplied until they were many, and my condition became complicated and very serious and no one seemed to understand it. My stomach was in such bad shape I could not dipest anything, and what I would eat seemed to poison my system. "My blood was thin and my arms were covered with spots. My back about mv kidnevs ached and hurt me dreadfully, and I was told I had spinal affection. The rheumatic pains all over my body were so awful they were hard to bear, and my head ached me constantly. T lost flesh and strength until 1 pot so weak T could not walk to my parden without help and 1 kept, poinp down until T was simply a physical and nervous wreck, and T b??lieve I was all but dead. My condition was too awful to even describe and I cannot tell you half of my sufferinp. "When a day would close on my miserable existence I could think of nothinp but another day of sufferinp tomorrow, and I was so nervous and racked with pain T could not sleen. "I wanted to live, and my husband spent thousands of dollars tryine to pet me well, but nothinp did me any pood. The doctors said there was no medicine that would help me. Finally, I became so weak and out of heart I prayed to die. "When I read about the wonderful help other people were pettinp from Tanlac I boupht a bottle and bepan takinp it. and I bepan to improve at once. I have taken four bottles now and honestly I would not take ten thousand dollars for the difference in the way 1 feel now and the way 1 felt the day I boupht my first bottk of Tanlac. ' ""f can eat now and enjoy my meals and when nipht comes I can lie dowr and sleep like a child. I do not have any more trouble with my kidney; and the hurtinp I used to have in m> back has left me and all the rheu matic pains have pone. My blood haf thickened up and seems to be in pooc 1 condition and those utrlv snots have left my arms and my head does nol ache me any more. I do not know what all was the matter with me, hut I have been relieved of all my sufferinp and, as I have already said, 1 pained twenty pounds in weipht he, sides.
