Remarkable Decrease.
Mr. Editor:-Ten years ago the
statistics showed an unusual sacri
fice of one hundred thousand souls
to the god of Bacchus. ', .
Kecently the claim, I notice, is sixty
thousand. Has the number been re
duced (40 per cent.) forty per cent
within the last ten years? If so,that
is a very strong argument in favor
of National prohibition. Could we
not get at the facts? Yours,
Tncxo. ..

Wheat Followed by Fine Corn.
We have been informed that Hon.
W. R. Parks has a crop of except
ionally fine corn growing upon the
land from which he harvested the
large yield of wheat this year.
There is no reason why the farmers
pf this county should buy western
flour, corn and meat when our soil
will produce a crop of wheat and
corn in one year. Let every farmer
manage as well as Mr. Parks does
and our old county in a few years
will prosper as never before.

Your Obituary Some Day.
A couple of years ago a cranky
sort of an old man came into this
office and stopped his paper because
something in it did not just suit his
fancy. We have frequently met him
on the street since that time and it is
amusing to note the look of surprise
on the old fellow's face that we are
still in existence regardless of the
fact that he stepped his paper.
Some day-and it won't be long
either-that old gentleman will turn
up his toes. His heart will be still
ed forever. Neighbors and friends
will follow his lifeless clay to the
silent city and lay it to rest among
the flowers. An obituary will be
published in these columns telling
what: a kind father, a good neighbor
and beloved citizen he was-which
the recording angel will overlook
for charity's sake, and in a short
time he will be forgotten. As he
lies out there in the cold, cold grave
yard, wrapped in the silent slumber
of death, he will never know that
the last kind word spoken of him
was by the editor of that paper
which he so spitefully "stopped."
Did you ever pause just a moment
to think that your editor, whoever
he may be, will write your obituary
some day?-King's Mountain Her
ald.

tion.
,Fall has returned an cr farmers are
being rewarded for their hard work

The B. Y. P. U. was postponed
the weather being too bad to hold
a meeting. We will have the same
subject for next meeting, "Looking
Forward."
We have at last had the rain
which has been needed so long but
most too much of it. Mr. J. D
Quailes and a few other successful
farmers have'Jost their corn crops
. on the creeks.
Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, who has
been in the hospital in Augusta for
a week is doing as well as could be
expected.
Mrs. W. E. Prescott who is quite
sick does not improve fa3t.
Mr. George Quarles who was very
sick is in bed again.
Miss America Quarles, of Anti
och, is visiting relatives and friends
