ED. JOURNAL:-Your valuabk
paper has been a regular visitoi
bis year. I have missed but
one copy, and am always glad
tq get it. I find in its columnE
news of interest and some that
is sad. I see now and ther
that some of my old acuaint
5nc'es have ceased to walk th(
old paths of the country I loved
so well, which I suppose wa
equally loved by them.
My friend, W. Henry Hester,
lorinerly of Central, S. C., now
:>f Spartanburg, visited his sis.
ber, Mrs. R. A. McMurray, of
fhe city (Lee street), recently,
Rjeniy is looking well, and his
wordupois is up several notch
s; that pleasant voice rings as
,lear as of yore.
The city of Atlanta is making
apid strides toward. the million
,ity. Any direction you may
ro you will see improve
nents going on-factories, etc.,
eing built. Go from Fort Mc
'herson Barracks, at Atlanta's
ity limits, thence north to
3rookwood, and you have trav
led elkht miles through the in
orporated limits, and from east
o west it is the same distance.
n twenty years Atlanta will be
tearly 1,000,000.
Wishing you and your many
eaders much success and happi
iess, I am yours truly,
LEMUEL C. REm.
ri the Pickens County Farmers Union.
A special call is issued to send
lelegates to the April meeting.
Let us line up at Pickens,
April 3l, at 11 a. i., and start
mew at the beginning of the
irst quarter and make a deter.
nined stand for the principles
if the great farmer organiza
ion, determined that it shall
tot be our fault if the Union
ianner is alloiWed to trail in
lust.
Come, Mr. Farmer, wake up
o your interest and fall into
in and look after your afiairs.
f you do not the other fellow
vill do the job for you and levy
in you for his pay. And why
iot, if you are too indifferent

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.

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.
