trade limits of Augusta can be and
ought to be expanded considerably.

THE FAIRIES AND THE DANDE
LION.
The fairies say that a long time
flgn thi* dandelion did not have a yel
low blossom or tho fluffy white cap it
wears after the yellow lias hern taken
Off.
They tell the story that one night a
long time ago, while they were holding
one of their revels in a field, sounds
oi weeping and moaning were heard
Th fairy queen stopped the dance
nnd listened. “It comes from the
ground,'* she said, “down among the
grasses. Hurry, all of you, find out
who is In trouble and come back and
tell me."
Away went the fairies Into the fields
nnd gardens nnd lanes. Darting In
and out among the blades of grass,
they found queer-looking weeds with
leaves resembling a lion's tooth. They
were crying and chanting a singsong
time:
Here we grow so bright nnd green.
The color of grass and can't be seen,
oh, bitter woe. but wo'll not stop
Till the fairies give us a yellow top.
Hack flew' the fairies to their queen
and told her what they had heard.
‘No,’*'**." thfty cried .
"If only they had asked for some
other color," she said; "there are so
many yellow blossoms now. The but
tercup, the golden glow, nnd the gold
enrod, will all ho jealous If another
yellow flower enters their bright cir
cle. do buck and ask them If they
will be quiet If we gl\> them a w hite
top." »
The fairies danced away to the cry
ing dandelions with the queen's mu
sage.
"The queen will give you a whit#
top!" they cried.
No. no!" tlicr cried. "Yellow Is the
color wo should wear with our green
leaves; it Is the color of the sun and
we wish to he us near like him as we
sun." and they ail began to cry:
Oh, bitter woe. we will not stop.
Till the fairies give us a yellow top.
They made such a noise that the
fairies put their fingers In their ears
as they flew hack to the queen.
The glass blades stood up higher
and looked about. “Do quiet those
noisy weeds," they said to the queen:
give them the yellow top for which
they arc crying and let us go to sleep.
We have been kept awake since sun
set. and It will soon he sunrise,”
"W hat shall we do?" said the queen.
"I do not know where to get the yel
low they want."
’lf we could get some sunbeams,"
said one fairy, "we should have Just
the color they are crying for. Of
course, we cannot venture Into such a
strong light, tmt the Elves might
gather them for us."
twj they went to the Elves and asked
them to gather the sunbeams for the
next day. and bring them to the valley
the next night.
The Elves were very willing to help
them, but the sun shone very tittle
the next day, and they Were able to
gather only a few bucketsful of the
bright golden color
When the queen saw the quantity,
she was In des|>air. "This will never
go around," she said, "and those that
sre left without a yellow top will cry
louder than ever."
"Why not divide It among them,"
said one fairy. "It will last for a little
while, and we can give them our fluf
fy w* ite caps when that is gone. We
shall lake them off soon, and the dan
delions can wear them the rest of the
season.”
Tho face of the queen brightened.
"The very thing,” she said, “if only
the noisy little weeds will agree. Go
to them and say they can wear yellow
of the very shade they most desire,
half the season if they are willing to
accept our fluffy white caps for the
other half.”
Tho fairies hurried to the dandeli
ons and told them what the queen had
said. The dandelions stopped crying
and said they would be satisfied, and
tho queen rode through the meadows,
fields, gnrdens. nnd lanes, dropping
gold upon each weed as she passed
along.
In tile morning when the sun beheld
his own bright color looking up at him.
he was so surprised that he almost
stood still.
The fairies kept their promise, and
when It was time to tske off their
fluffy white caps, they went among
the dandelions and hung a cap on each
stem.
The dandelions did not cry again,
nnd the grass sleeps on from sunrise
to sunset, undisturbed.

said: “jimmy take this basket
and go the store and net a diren
flies and one beetle. I just heard

took the basket and hopped away
down the the cart path. He got
the flies and the big beetle and
tucked them into the basket and
started for home.
An he hopped along he thought
how good those flies would taste.
AH at once he looked up and saw

Just time to hop one side when a
big black thing with smoke coin

Goodness, w hat if he hadn't hop

As Toni was leaving the hospital,
after visiting Jennie, and being as
sured everything was all right, he
met the man who had been waiting
in the recepMon room. The man was
all smiles, but his happiness was not
any greater than Tom's. As thev rode
downtown together they talked of
many things. Tom told him lie was
working with one idea foremost al
ways. which was to have eventually a
business of his own. “1 did that
very thing myself, about five years
ago.” hald the man, “I got awfully
tired of working for other people,
saved all the money I could and start
ed In business (or myself, until now
1 have things running pretty well. In
fact, it has grown to such an extent

“ARRANT ROT”
(Florence Times.)
One often hears the remark that
the opposition of "the press” was re
al onsiblo for the nomination of
Bleaae two years ago. That Is arrant
rot, of course. The man who hadn't
a better reason than that is nothing
more than an idiot of a knave. As
A matter of fact such a reason Is
rot'nlng more than a very lame ex
cuse. The man who makes it slntplv
hasn't the courage to give the right
reason which is that he really cast
his vote for the man of his prefer
ence.
MONEY FOR THE FARMERS
(Charlotte Observer 1
Mr. John Skelton Williams has
made the statement that under the
new hanking law the sum of $500,000,-
000 is now in national hanks available
for loans on Improved farm lands. The
system by which these loans are made
possible is one of the best features of
the democratic currency law and has
been explained in detail In this paper
The financial facilities for the farm
era have been considerably improved
by it. In fact, banking opportunities
are now open to them in a way which
places them mote on a level with oth
er business men than they have ever
been, though not on more of a level
than they have deserved to be placed.
At last Tom was beginning to see “the way out.”
won't take any capital on your part.
Maybe we could arange that you could
start in on a salary and buy into the
business by degrees. However, you
can think it over and we can meet
again.”
The man, whose name was Wilson,
w-as in the contracting business, and
if there w r as ever a chance for a hust
ler that was hone3t it was this. Tom
thought it all over, and at last was
beginning to see “the way out” where
the baby, Jennie and he could have a.
comfortable little home and happi
ness.
As Tom thought and thought about
it all a little pink (ace constantly ap
peared in front of him.
"Gee. she looked funny,” thought
Tom, "with that little pug nose. Now,
if she nad been a boy we could 'have
called him Mike, but since she’s a
girl, I don’t know what to call her —
maybe Jennie does, though."—H. C.
To Be Continued.
This provision of the reserve hanking
act ought to result in a material and
immediate Improvement in rural con
ditions.
NEVER™ AGAIN
(Newberry Observer.)
The Charleston Post, speaking of
the defeat of the bill permitting
horse-racing by the Louisiana legisla
ture, says that It is "almost inclined
to regret.” It for had the bill passed
tile racing gang would have gone to
New Orleans instead of Charleston.
There is no cause for regret; for
South Carolina already has a law for
oidding horse-racing, and it would be
a safe bet that the aggregtion that
has defied the laws of South Carolina
for two years at "Palmetto Pari;,”
near Charleston, will come no more
to South Carolina. %
