Soliloquies of Old J. 0. Moore.
Well, I think we will get'our
street fixed at last. The con
tractors gave it u6 and the city
has taken it in charge and I DO
believe they will finish it yet.
Being torn up all. sumrmer has
cut off our country trade but we
are still living and looking for
better times this fall. Green
ville is a good town and I haye
some fun here to mix with my
trouble.
There was a widow woman
passed here the other day and
said-to me, "You ought to mar
ry." I told her that I did not
know, that my maiden name
was J. D. Moore and that it had
stuck to me through my first
wife's lifetime. She asked me
how old I was. I told her that
I was getting well up in years,
but that if she had a kiss for me
she would find me young again.
Well. we have a few thieves
over her6 for a negro stole five
dollars out of my drawer. I
soon found out and sent for him
and he acknowledged and prom
ised to pay me back, but the
man he worked for told him not
to pay it, that I could not prove
he got it. I told him that he
had oetter pay me, for I was
long-headed and hardl-headed,
too. So the negro- employed a
lawyer; paid him S5 and then
had to pay a fine of $5. I told
theni then if they would return
my money I would let them off.
They said they had done paid
the fine, and it was settled. I
told thei only in one deree;
that I would try him in the state
Court. So I liave got, it fixed,
and will try him again. He'
h ad a lawyer and a cobbler. but
"Old J, 1). was smart enough
for both. The man the darkey
worked for was the cobbler, a
next-door neighbor, or sonmIe
thing in place of a neighbor.
This may not sound good to
him, but "Old J. )." don't
care.
Well, I was well pleased to
see the well-known face of
Miles Allgood, who called to see
me one day last week. The
genial Miles is always welcome
to the board of "Old J. D."

M. W. Hester Converted.
Well, I haven't written for
;he P. S.-J. for some time, so I
riad better begin and let it know
what I have been doing.
I have been fencing, taking
xdvantage of the prohibition
aw, and I find not many laws
:an be made that a man can't
bake advantage of and be bene
ited.
Five years ago I took the
stump and fought prohibition;
told the people that I knew of
Dne distillery that put over 1,000
oattle.and hogs on the market
of our little towns annually,
and I wanted a still just like it
on every branch in Pickens
county;- that if prohibition
came in vogue we would have
no less whisky but much less
pieat and lard, and that some of
us will not be able to butter
both sides of our bread.
Oriir a short while and I be
gan to understand the great cry
of the high cost of living.
Why, it wasn't surprising to
me, counting the freights and a
half score of men handling it,
from producer to consumer.
So I went to work to make
what 1 could out of the prohi
bition law. I put about 70 acres
under hog wire fence, sowed
most of it down to small grain,
grazed it with my hogs until
late in . the spring. and then
turned them back for a short
time and let them eat a portion
of the grain. Then I turned
the stubble and sowed 40 acres
to peas, both early and late
varieties. and iiow the peas are
nearly ready to turn back, and
I aim' to get ISe a pound for
the) this time: trot 15c last year.
The people tell me to plant
root crops for my hogs, and I
tell them that I don't want my
land rooted up: besides, I have
bred my hogs to graze, and I
don't know whether they would
root after pinders or potatoes,
should I plant them, and then
there's the work. I am really
not afraid of any competition.
Some of our people are too
rich, some too poor, some too
old and some too lazy. Hogs,
you know, require personal at
tention. Ah, unless thie distil
le. ies come back, anid I think
the preachers, the blind tigers
and myself c:an keep them
voted out.
The demonstration man at
Clemson said to feed a hog one
half pound cotton meal a day,
and kill him in ten wveeks; one
fourth pound a day, and kill
him in twenty weeks. I didn't
ask him how long it took cotton
seed compound to kill a man.
Respectfully, M. W. H.
