FAIR FOREST CHAPTER, D. A. R. REIDSTOWN. (By Mrs. Mary Murphy Maddox) About the year 1792, perhaps before, Mr. Joe Reid founded a settlement on Broad river 12 miles east of what is now the city of Union. He was an English gentleman of means, or was of English descent. He laid out streets and lots for the town which he called Reidstown. H(> first. Knilt a Vi?i?lr ttni.on near the river on a bluff one hundred feet above the water. The house is situated about a quarter of a mile frem the Piedmont road at the foot of an avenue bordered on either side with large cedar trees, which Mr. Reid planted himself, several of them are still living. This was about the first brick house built in the district and was considered a very fine house at that time. He built several other houses, many of them two stories high, with five and six rooms, besides these were wheelright shops, shoemaker shops, tailor shaps, blacksmith shops and two large stores managed by Mr. Reid and in which he kept a fine stock of goods. The line of stage coaches which ran from New Orleans to Washington stopped at Reidstown and changed horses, passing the mansion, as it was called then, and crossing the river at Reids ferry into Chester district, thence proceeding on the journey to Washington. Mr. Reid was a very enterprising man. Besides buiding a fine flour mill and a saw mill on Fanning's creek, he had a tannery in operation and had shoes made from the leather tanned there. His tenants and employes drank from the same' spring of clear cold water which he enlarged and walled with an arch of rock five feet high. It was near the store and is now in the same state of preservation, as when built, and is still called the "store spring." Mr. Reid owned this place some years after 1822; it then passed into the hands of his brother, Mr. Zack Reid, who did not own it very long; and it was then bought by Col. Daniel Thomas, who sold it to Wm. C. Dunn in 1842. Capt. Dunn died in 1880 and bequeathed it to his only child, Mrs. Sarah V. Murphy, who is still the possessor. All that stands of this once progressive settlement is the brick house and a few large granite blocks, which were the foundations of the several buildings. The house is in a perfect state of preservation; two of the roems have the original plastering. The paneled wainscoating four feet high is put together with wooden pegs, which are invisible. The hand carved mantels show the ingenuity of the workmen of those days. The Massive gtanite steps, leading to the entrance of the narrow hall, were quarried on the place. Many distinguished and prominent men have ascended these steps, among them could be mentioned Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, John C. Calhoun, besides some the .governors of our State, including Seabrook, Johnson, Gist, Jeter and other men of note. TV:- ~i j i. -i -i una uiu nuuac was aiways consiaered haunted; stately ladies in black silk dresses, handsome gentlemen in knee pants and silver buckles have been seen dancing the minuet, laughing and talking and sipping their wine. The different owners of the place, however, never saw or heard anything that they could not account for. Rumblings and tremors were often heard and felt at Reidstown, which terrified some of the people, and which did not originate at the place as some people thought. The view of the river from the bluff, as well as from the house, is beautiful, the river bending at Dunns eddy in the shape of a horse shoe. At this point is the subterranean passage, the bottom of which could never be found and which was ?u ? 1 e .. << i n naut bv uc tut; UUIIIU III <1 ?SUcl IIOTSU, which was sometimes seen by different persons swimming in the river. Years have passed; times have changed; the house stands as of yore and Broad river flows gently on. (The house at Reidstown, the most important building of this settlement, is the girlhood home of Mrs. Maddox and her family have lived there for several generations?Regent.) EVER" SALIVATED BY CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your 1 Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening: you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for r>0 cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. whinh i? on tirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. One hundred and sixty-two out of the f>47 students at the South Carolina university are paying tuition. I IT CAN BE DONE. ' Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he, with a chuckle, replied That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldnt say till he'd t,ried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done and he did it. Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that; At least, no one ever has done it." But he took off his coat and he took ?cr v.:- u.i I vu ma imi, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it; With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit; He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it can not be done, | There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you; But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "can not be done," and you'll do it. ?Selected. PROBLEM OF PRODUCTION. (Greenville News). It is obvious that one of the main reasons for the rising cost of food products is the fact that our agricul ? 1 ?t > * VUIU1 ^lUUUUUUII IlillS flUt Kept pace with the increase in population. This, in turn, is due to the fact that a larger proportion of our people are becoming consumers, while a constantly smaller proportion are becoming producers. Joseph Chapman, Jr., chairman of the committee of northwestern State agricultural colleges, said not long ago before the senate committee on agriculture that one-third of the pop ulation of Minnesota lives in three cities; that the boys and girls flock from the farms to the cities; that in the cheap and unhealthy lodging houses of Chicago there were found 20,000 young men under 25 from the farms who were looking out for jobs in that city; that the conclusion was reached that the problem of this 1 rural drift to the urban centres was ! an educational one; that in Minnesota < it was learned that there were 435,- i 000 children ib the schools at an expense of $14,000,000 to the State, 1 yet but 1,832 of these pupils were in agricultural schools and collecea r?r that the State was educating 99.6 per i cent of them to be consumers and i but four-tenths of 1 per cent to be producers; that this condition, in greater or less degree, exists in every i State. To remedy this problem, Minne- ' sota has established 80 high schools 1 for teaching agriculture, vocational i training and domestic science. The great need for agricultural 1 education is attested by a comparison 1 of our country with Germany, making < it clear that we do not get anywhere I as much production from our farms 1 as we should. For a thirty-year pe- 1 riod. Germany increased her produc- . ton of rye 87 per cent., the United States only 10 per cent; Germany increased her production of wheat 58 < per cent, the United States only 14 1 per cent; Germany increased her pro- i duction of barley f>0 per cent, the < United States only 1 per cent. Germany increased her production of oats 85 per cent, the United States only 6 per cent; Germany increased her production of potatoes 80 per m,, me vjiuivu ouiii's oniy i nor cent. In 191.1, Germany, with an area equal to Minnesota, Iowa and Mis- , souri, produced more barley, almost i 12 times as much rye, three-fourths as much oats, and more than six 1 times as many' potatoes, as we do in the whole United States. In 1913 Germany had 44,213,000 , acres sowed to wheat, barley, rye, oats and potatoes and harvested therefrom 3,493,775,000 bushels, while ( from 102,307,000 acres sowed to the same crops in the United States, our i xarmers Harvested only 2,340,243,000 bushels. From considerably less than ' one-half of our area. German farmers , harvested more than 1,000,000 000 j more bushels. Obviously what the United States needs to meet the problem of the < high cost of living is more and more 1 farmers and more progressive farmers at that. Vocational education in agriculture is indispensable. This is the solution that the federal government and the States propose to ap- i ply, and, because it has produced wonderful results in other countries, \ we can reasonably expect similar do- , velopment in the United States. Whatever we may feel about Germany as ( a belligerent, the fact remains that | there are many things that we could f learn from Germany with tremen- j dous profit to this nation. , Ed. II.

SENATOR TILLMAN'S TRIBUTE TO LATE ROBERT GONZALES The following letter of sympathy was written by Senator Tillman to Wm. E. Gonzales: "Sympathy prompts me to write you ?and as I bear you no malice and never did, I yield to impulse. We have no cause to love each other and there has been no love lost between us, but my heart goes out to you in this time of your great sorrow and I know you have too much sense to misunderstand. "I never saw your boy after he grew up, but I remember well the timid, 3hy child who played with my little laughter and John Lynch McQueen in and out of the three houses in l890-'94. I learned to "love him then and it wan n ttroot aknnV v" * e ??? ? ? JH-OWT, two days ago that he was dead. The Gonzales name is well known in South Carolina, and is well loved and well hated, but this boy's yrondrous humor, wit and brilliancy, in which there was never gall or bitterness mingled, caused men and women both to love him. He had just entered upon newspaper work and imagination only can grasp the possibilities of his future fame, but there was certainly promise of a great future for him; and I, along with other citizens of the State, mourn his untimely departure. My sadness is increased by the consciousness that this brilliant boy is the last of his name. To conjecture why, which we all will do when we think of one so young passing, while the old and worn out and more or less worthless are left behind, is not lacking in this case. My wife and myself extend to you and your wife deepest sympathy." NEW HOPE New Hope, Jan. 1).?We are having! some beautiful weather now for January, as it seems like springtime.

JONESVILLE Jonesville, Jan. 9.?The eclipse of the moon was shut out Sunday night i by the clouds. I like to look upon , the eclipses and the constellations of ( the heavens as they are the handiwork of the great creator. The weather was rather warm and ' murKy all last week and good to Ken- 1 erate colds and pneumonia, but 1 don't t hear qJT much pneumonia. < I had a communication with a blind ) tiger or rather throuKh the medium of one of the monsters and I learn ( by the medium that they did a flour- j ishinK business last year and had easy . sailinK in Jonesville and their business ' was especially fine durinK the holidays and they expect another good year * under present conditions. Talk about < the hiRh cost of living Let's see something about the hiKh cost of drinking. | The blind tigers get their liquor by express under the gallon-a-month law for $2.00 per gallon, then they add a . half gallon of water to each gallon of whiskey, then add red peeper tea to bring it up to the same tempera- i ture and then sell it for $1.00 a pint, 1 which brings it 'p to $12.00 per gal- i Ion. Take $"2.0i >ff for cost and they < made a net protu, of $10.00 per gallon. So you see the high cost of living is t eclipsed by the high cost of drinking.
