Lonely Sweetheart. Dillard, Get, ED. JoutNAL!--A few stray copies of your valuable paper still find their way to your appreciative friend, and finds him doing business at the old stand. I am glad always to get your paper, for it reminds me of the friends and acquaintances of old Pickens. I am glad, too, to note their progress and well-being. However, I must say that if my friends would know an easy livelihood, and to make money easy, they must come to the mountains. I was a citizen of Pickens county, and must say that the good ladies in that part have more work and burdens of prog ress than do our most busy men in these parts. I have been away from my Anative county for five years past save a visit or two induced by. the enchanting attractions of the fairer sex, and was glad to see the progress made )y my native people. There is a lot of thrif t here, and money is a secondary ques tion, the main thing is how to have the best time in spend ing it. Some wear fine duds and sail high as modern contrivances will allow, while others, not quite so softy-minded, but desire to feel rich, "Encircle a quart or so of moun tain dow, And feel lofty, and rich, too." But laying jest aside, I must say that the upper Tennessee valley here is the garden spot of the mountains. Very fertile lands and broad bottoms, and produces great crops of corn and other grain. I desire to know what has happened to old "Bachelor Ca teechee"? Is he still marrying the folks and other dluties of like nature? I would be glad to hear from those simon-pure corresponidenits of past (lays and1 to know of the later maneuvers. W?. .J. HIoLIXx. South Carolina's Corn Crop, The United States l)epart ment of Agriculture ini a recent bulletin estimates the crop of South Caroline at 49,740,000 bushels. A pleasing featurie of the report was the announce ment that the acreage had ini creased duiring the year and ful' ther that the average production incr'eased from 16;.7 b~ushels an acre to 21 bushels. This tremen (ious Cr01) means that the farm ers of the state will have a sur plus of corn and will be able to sell to other states. Tihe in crae in the total crop for the year ov r)0 a 8,000,0Q0 bushels. T1he agitation foI\cornl pro. duction commenced in this State several years ago and there has been a steady increase. No lon.. ger is the farmer of South Caro lina contented with 20 bushels to the acre, The 100-bushel to the acre farmers in South Caro lina are numerous. To stimu late the interest in corn produc - tion over $35,000 in prizes wil: 1be given this year. T1he clima> a swill b he hnouth Atlantic mtati corn exposition which is to be held in Columbia from Decem ber 5 to 8.- Over $10,000 In pri zes will be given at the exposi tion. There was over 3,000 boys on the farms of South Carolina who planted an acre of corn last year Several hundreds of these boys produced over 75 bushels of corn on one acre and have been awar ded certificates of merit by the State Superintendent of educa tion and Gov. Ansel. More than 100 of the boys have produced over 100 bushels on one acre, and several produced 150 bus helis. These boys will be the farmers of the future and the indications point to South Caro lina becoming one of the leading corn States in the United States The work of the 3,000 boys has been under the direction of the U. S. farm demonstration workers, of which Ira W. Wil lianis is at the head in this State. The champion boy corn grow er of the world lives in South Carolina, and he has produced 228 bushels on one acre of land. The boy is 15 years of age, his name is unknown. He lives in the Pee Dee section of this State and is a soi of a minister. T'he marvelous Yield was secured on the )parsoiage land. The re cords of the boy are in Wash ington and are being considered by the national department of agriculture, and his name will be announced from there. "People Need Dose Of Chlorotorm" Unless some effectual method 6f slowing up is discovered, the entire country will go to the hos -ital with neurasthenia. John Cavanagh, president of the No tre Dame University, lecturing - before the Catholic Writers' G'uild at the Great Northern Hotel, Chicago, suggested that a good (lose of chloroform or a siege of locomotar ataxia might put a check to the nation-wide hysteria an( bring people to their senses. He said that within his life time he had seen three passions amazingly developed in the American people--the passion for traveling froim place to place, the passion for nublic spectacles and entertainments ad the pas sion for mingling with other people against home life. "I1 find the railroad trains - crowdled, the theatres packed, a horrible form of entertain ment -the five-cenit theatre-and p)opuilar and mnodernl methods heating, driving ont the fal health."'____________ Improve The Conditions, Every town needs organiza tion looking forward to the im provement of conditions.
