TO OUR PATRONS. After January 1st this paper will be au all homo print, sevon-oolumu quarto, with plenty of news, and space for all of our correspondents, We hope they will help us to make the papor interesting, and that our readers will appreciate our efforts enough to stand by us and will pay in advance. Among tlio now features wo will put on, will be a corking good serial story which will please both young and old, and interesting from beginning to end. The title is ''Abner Daniel," und the plot is laid in North Georgia, and depicts "cracker" life toa"T." It is a storj in which wit anil wisdovn play an important part, and the quaint philosophic sayings of "Uncle Abner Daniel'' will bring a snnie, for he never sees the worst side?"with him the darkest cloud lias si silver lining. Through the thread of this romance runs a good love stojy. You should read it. Watch for the opening chapters, and you will net rest until you get the next. - LgJ. 'I - 1 A FLIRTATION. The other day a little girl?she couldn't have boen more than three or four years old?walked along the sidewalk in front of this newspaper office. She was alone, having walked ahead of hor mother, who had stopped to chat with an acquantance. Sho was a beautiful child, with rosy cheoks and laughing eyes, and as she looked in at the window the editor, out of the goodness of his heart ana ins lovo 01 cnuuren, tnrew n kiss. The litlle lady smiled, even coyly, and looked as if nhio might like to throwTss if she dared. As 'bo " .^ftlJteAalong, slowly, she kept looking back and smiling, and the editor threw more kisses. Finally, as sho was about to pass boyoud the range of vision from the window; the little girl threw the editor one kiss and then ran away laughing. Tho editor went back to his work. A minute or two later lie chanced to look up, and the littlo girl had come back and was peeping in at tho window, v%ith mischief scintillating in every glance, waiting for another kiss. It was given with a will. Tho little girl laughed, and then ran away again and did not come back any more. It was a desperate llirtation, although the editor and the little girl had never soen each other before ko far as the editor knows. As the editor finally went hack to his work, lighter in heart than before, he moralized to himself after this fashion: The children of today are bat the parents of the men and women of tomorrow. How earlv in life do wo display the characteristics of our after years. That littlo girl will in the day? to come break the hearts of men, juut for the very love of it, and will then finally make Rome man supremely happy. JSo mote it be. Amen.?Anderson Daily Mail.

Grant?Cateechee Frank Farmer?Pickctis Libraries in Pickens County. 1 am sum the people of Pic ken 8 county nre interested in education n.ul every educational movement; and as Pickens county is my bumo, 1 fee! interested in any movement that will! be for the betterment of its people, j But there is one thing that I wish to| call attention to, in which Pickens is aomowhat behind. This is in regard to libraries for public schools. At the last session the Legislature passed au "Act to Encourage tho Es-j tablishment nf Libraries in tho Pub-j lie School* of tho Rural Districts."] This act '-vas to go into effect aa soon as tho State Board met and adopted regulations, rides, and a list of books Soon aflor the adjournment of the General Assembly, the Skate Board met and adopted a list of 200 ! ooka from which the selections should bo made. This list and the State's up propritfttiiHi ttuuu ui'uumo iiYHimmr, and by tbe first of April the schools began to order librarian. From April j to December, nino months, nearlyI 100 libraries have been established io the schools of South Carolina. Under the provisions of the act, ouch library cost at least $!i0, and ?stiraat i ing an average price for the books, it means that, about ?12,000 have boon ; invested in 80,000 good books, wl.ich have boon pieced in tlio coach o/ thousands, of boys and girls whose! reading matter was very limited and poorly adapted to thoir needs. More libraries will bo established before tho close of tho your. The act provides for 12 libraries in each county. Some counties have ul-, ready their full quota, and have raised their private subscription anticipating next year's appropriation by tho General Assembly. I notice that .six of these libraries httvo been established in Pickens countj. It is allowed six more li braries under tho act, provided they l'u f-Htabliehed before ahe iirstof January. It seems that Pickens county should be iu the lend and have her full quota by that time. We have a number of splendid rural schools in Pif'.kariH nnnnt.v whinli nr? in nnml of libraries. Tlio amount necessary for such, that is the part to bo luiueit by private subscription, could bo mined in (i short while, uod this would out good reading material in thc<<6 schools which is very much needed. It is very evident that a workman can uot do good work without good sharp, tools It is tho same with our school | children; they can not do good work without sharpening their intellect' with good reading, and one of I ho ways to do this in to ^ivo them Homo good book a to real. 1 would like Jo Miugo.st a way in which these libraries might he raised: As it. in only a short tmio until the Christmas holidays, some program might bo arranged for and invito the : patrons in and take up a colletition, i . . . l _ .11 . 1. :ii r . ' or cuargo a snmu aummanco lee, nna tho ten dollars could he i uisod in >1 comparatively Abort timo. Then the County Superintendent would add the $10 from the school funds to that district, and them the $10 from the i ttfato could bo easily )iad, I hope it.at Pickens county will be in thn f - ? . / I SIl^'L'JiUlULJLJ I m bxmh umam /OTE i it Grow! | our coupons, but lyorite and help Vote. h CONTEST. = 79 224 192 1 75 9o j 64 11s charge 47 47 32 32 32 32 r! 1 321 32 15 IP CONTEST. 3,G 224 21 2 192 144 96 32 15 j leiul before tho close of the year. !
