The Idler stated in last Tuesday's herald and News that the rain would ;ease for a while now, but Tuesday massed off for another rainy day down lere in No. 10. Well, any of us are iable to miss when w-e predict how J he weather will be. We will get a late start to plowing .his spring, but let's not get scared ret a while. "All is well that ends I veil," the old saying goes, and this :ontinu'cd wet weather may be for the >est. The idea is to be ready to "stir ' md keep stirring" when it is so we :an. j You remember how scared we got ast spring about the time we couldn't rpt a stand of cotton and how the r? >u!t was. This wet weather may help >ut the "Roc^ Hill plan" of reducing he acreage and also in the use 9f so nuch fertilizer. [ uon't see how any >rte could haul any guano now, the condition that the roads are in. The 'ground hog" prediction worked nicey this time. The time is about up for lim to come out again now. Hope he vill get to see the sun shine for severU weeks as he puts in his appearance igain. Wheat is looking well. The severe vinter wasn't so bad on it, but oats ire injured considerably in places. Spring oats sowing we suppose will aave to be left off this spring. Thptv* vrill be all-day services at Sachman Chapel on the second Sunlay in April with preaching in the norning and exercises in behalf of nissions in the afternoon. There will be dinner on the ground and the public is cordially invited to attend. Mrs. .Jno. P. Kinard is suffering from something like an attack of ?rippe. Mrs. E. S. Franklin and daughter, Miss Corrie, visited relatives in the Beth Eden section a part of last week. Last Sunday was such a pretty day. It reminded us of last year when we hud so many of ih- m.

Mr. Editor, I am not in the political arena and it is not my intention to ever join as a contestant, but there is no young man on earth who loves to see good government any better than I do. The time is drawing near when the voters of South Carolina will have the opportunity of making their choice again. Only one name has been put forth as a candidate for Newberry county and that is W. A. Hill for supervisor. *r ' " ?r j * Mr. Hill has only been announced I j.1 1.

I have no intention to reflect upon any one who has ever served in the capacity of this office, but if there ever was a man fitted for a position it is W. A. Hill for supervisor's office, I and it is hoped by his many friends that he will consent to make the race. The supervisor's office is one of the most responsible offices in the county.' Tlvere is no axe to grind in connection with this statement. ... . i f Mrs. Dora Watts and Miss Leslie j Dominick, of Xewberry, spent a portion of last week with their sister, Mrs. J. M. Wilson. We ought not to be surprised if. we have a windy day occasionally during this month. The weather report has been very near as predicted through the telephone system recently.

I Silverstreet, March 14.?The inclem! ?nt weather has prevented farmers from hauling their guano from this point as heavily as hereofore. It is I the general opinion that there will not i I be as much used for the coming crop as before. Mr. H. C. Lake, one of our leading merchants, is building a beautiful six ; room house. As soon as this dwelling | is completed Mr. W. A. Asbill, cashier ; of The Farmers Bank of Silverstreet, ! will move in. Mrs. J. P. Blair has just returned from a trip to Mr. Mark Nichols. Measles in and around here have about died out. The membership of Mount Zion church regret very much to learn of the resignation of their much beloved pastor, E. C. Watson, who has resignnoc,+rkra+o nf Mount Zion and t?U cixc wuv w Bush River chui^-ies to accept the work at Simpsonville. Woronoka Tribe, No. 14, I. 0. R. M., meets every Tuesday night at eight o'clock in the beautiful new hall over the bank. Dr. Henry has opened up a nice line J of drugs and notions in the new brick I building by the bank. Mrs. W. P. Blair spent the week-end with Mrs. Blair's sister, Mrs. Nichols. Our' new intendant and councilmen have surveyed off the town of Silverstreet and have begun work on the streets, but on account of the batl j Weather they have been unable so far to finish the work. When this work is completed it will add greatly to the appearance of the town. Mrs. Matt Berry is improving very fast since she returned from the Columbia hospital where she was operated on for appendicitis. . Another feature of the building up of our little town is the new millinery business now being opened up in the store of E. J. Long. Mesdames John P. Long and H. P. Stephens are open ing up this new business with an upto-date line of goods with Miss Kate Porter, of Atlanta, as milliner. Miss Porter comes next Monday, March 18, to take charge. j OLD VETERANS REMEMBERED. I Clothes Donated to Veterans of Confederate Home?The Correspondence. I Columbia, S. C., March 11, '12. Commander Confederate Home, Columbia, S. C. | Dear Sir: The children of our Com rade, G. Fred Long, who died not quite a year ago, has turned his clothing over to this camp to be sent to you for the-use of the veterans under your charge. The clothing is in good condition and is of very neat and substantial quality. During his lifetime it was the delight of our deceased comrade to be of service to the veterans, and he was willing to spend and h? spent in their interest. His children, knowing his love for his comrades, feel that if he could speak he would direct them to | give his clothing to his comrades. ^1- '"Viirnr wVlAri to I riease uncut mc a.llu .. ? ? forward the box to you.

Because the fairest prospecfc are often spoiled by th-e insects above the ground, and under the ground which swarm onto your plants or cut them up by the roots. So for my part I welcome some little workers in my garden, which have helped me a great deal. / First then, in my winter and early spring garden, I have a pair of robins who, during the day, live in my gar| den and clean up a great quantity of ! insects. They run around among the plants looking under the leaves and kill every insect that can be found, and thus live fine and help me. Also when the dirt is turned up or raked over they are "right on the job" looking carefully for the worms and borers which have been turned up and consume them. Occasionally, or course, they will bite the young plants just to vary a little diet, but no harm is done by them; on the contrary they are one of my most active and best helps. I also have a pair of red birds \ and a couple of thrush which help some, but they are so wild that they only work very early in the morning or late in the evening when no one . much is stirring around. Robin red breast, however, is quite gentle, ana is often busy on oij? square while I * *-- * am working on another. Another good helper is a fine active mole, ground-mole we call him, who is as active under ground as the birds are above. He lives on grubs, cutworms and other destructive underground plant eaters. If you open a hole down to his little tunnel where her travels and drop in a dead or live n-r a hn2- in a few hours he is b1 ux ? ? ? eaten up and Mr. Mole is off hunting for other worms and insects. A very important service he render;; is to hunt up the nests of eggs deposited by insects or the larvi before they can go and eat them up by the thousand. To a garden he is a great help. /. At times, to be sure, he eats a few nr a ?rain of corn, or nib UUdli CVwuw ? 0- - bles a potato, but nothing to speak of, and the good he does is worth a hundred times the few seeds he Sats. % A word of counsel: Don't kill or drive away the birds, such as those spoken of, you may find in your garden, and don't hurt' the under-ground '' i 1 uttio mnlp. worKer, trie uiiimicco uvuv 1 The Leap lTear Girl's Pfoem. Tell us not in idle jingle, "Marriage is an idle dream;" For the girl is dead that's single, And things are not what they seem.

Not enjoyment and not sorrowIs our destined end or way, But ^ta act that each tomorrow Finds us nearer marriage day. * Life is long and youth is fleeting, And our hearts though ligjit and gay, Still life's pleasant drums are beating Wedding marches all the day.
