ONG DISTANCE HIKER, SPNDS - SOME TIME III MANNING -bas. 'L. Greenleaf, .long distance :hiker from Los Angeles, made a stop over in Manning Friday .December .22nd. He started from tiue southern city,- in California March 1st. His hike consisted in the following route: A geles, San Franciseo, Reno, lko, rovo,' Pueblo, Denver, Opaha, * hago, St. J oseph, Muskegon, LwJ ington, Walhalla, zig-zag acro s to SAginaw, up to Bay City and back down to Detroit, through Flint and ' ontiac to Detroit. Across to Winad " r and over the Canadian peninsula to Bu4Yalq, east to Batavia, north to aoehester back to Oayhuenga east to Albany, to New York, south through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Bal timore, whence he stalked into Wash 3 gton.- Tile walker then strode t k $h Virginia by way of Richmond, south thrqugh Raleigh to Florence to Kingstree, and' west to Manning. The objects of his hike are to study economic conditions, to analyze hu man nature in it's various complex phases .for a book, the name of which he is not sure of, to scout for movie actors, of whom he has found but five so far with the necessary poten tialities to qualify them to become thoroughly satisfactory portrayors of human nature. "The people who make real actors are usually born not made. Give me a person without any know ledge of the screen, but with tte in lying talent there,-it just suen peo ple that I sun looking for, they are similar to a garden, with seeds already planted, all one has to do is to cultivate, sprinkle and weed to make it grow. Thus it is with a hu man being,- one must first possess the soil of soul, the seeds of mentality, to be cultivated by proper direction and sprinkled with encouragement. The easiest ones to do this with are those who are willing to obey combined with proper inside materal." In general his book will deal with adventure told most likely in fiction form,.combined with narrative and ex position, to make it more interests g. It will deal with 'the various phases of hardship, perplexities, and un necessary worries and cares of hu manity, in an endeavor to alleviate these conditions as much as possible. "Most all of the anxiety among peo ple has been with little cause, at least, of temporary nature-especial ly is this true of u- athern economic tonditions. I believe .I have found a cure for the boll weevil worm-if that is all there is to worry about. There are several methods, never before tried with which I intend to experi ment, and when I find the one most economical I shall certainly, let the people know about it. I am going to make a careful study of this pest, of which I knew nothing before my walk South. I think I have a solution already at hand which will cost the -farmer but little and save him much. My analysis will probably come out in a small pamphlet, or may be I will tell you folks about it in a different way." "The aim in my hike is to study for the help of my fellow being, anything, therefor that I can do, in that direc r tion, will be my aim." Greenleaf has had contact with ad ventures of various kinds. Such things as rattlesnakes, toads, bear, lions'and wolves were of not uncom mon occurrence. "Of these the toad was most annoying-peculiar as this may sound. A rattlesnake is man enough to let you alone provided he is not molested which is fair enough it seems to me, a bear will not annoy you if let alone, a lion will at least fight on common grounds, wolves are treacherous yet cowards, but deliver me from the toad. He is too friendly. He will hop right upon your face when you are sleeping, if cannot wak en you by this he starts a "cheerful" melody, to help matters along. I'll CYPRESS ~ SASH DOORS BLINDS pMOULDINGS AND ' MILL WORI~ Peas! Pe II am in the market for as heretofore, and will p for them. See me about delling. I buy them in a lety, and am ready to buy to sell. Write me what B. C. Wi/ SUMTEJ give him credit for one thing though, viz: a fine alarm clock which goes on, however at all hours of the night." Mr. Greenleaf, took a .great fancy to Manning. "I was treated Eith the utmost of cordiality. The second pisce I went to, to which) was direct ed by the first- place was the hotel. owned by Mrs. Janie Horton at which I was received with -the greatest warmth. I was here provided for in every way. Little Warren' - Horton made himself very serviceable, and although I had a wonderful time of it. I have taken particular note of the 'hospitality of tho, South :and in Manning I found it exemplified in a form most agreeably pleasing." Greeiilea left here at noon in his journey south, to Flo ida whereno rntonds to spend the winter afnd then may Stretch his hike to distances as yet undecided. HOME DEMONSTRATION MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING Poultry work in South Carolina has never had a brighter future. The increase in production and the im provement in breeding has never been greater in any one year than in 1922. Under the supervision of the Home Demonstration Department, 49 Wo men's Clubs with 608 members, 30 Community akd 3 County Poultry As poeiations with a membership of 629 igen and women, and 56 Boys' and Girls' Clubs with 639 members, have had instruction and individual help in poultry culture. The number of pure bred fowls raised last year was,,29, 876 as compared with 117,756 this year. The' total value of poultry pro ducts sold and used at home amoqnts to $135,668.26. - Reports from the county agents show that more than 364 meetings have been held with Boys' and Girls' clubs and equally as many with adults. Much marketing of poultry has been done by the agents, and all found ready sale on the South Caro lina markets. ' Of the $66,930.48 brought from the poultry sold a great part of it found sale through the help and suggestions of the Home Demon stration Agents. Several large poultry farms have been established this year. One is keeping this winter 3,000 layers, and a number have as many as 1,00d hens. Numbers of large incubators have been installed and baby chicks by the thousands will be turned out next spring. - No state is better suited for the pro duction of poultry' than South Caro lina and with a little more time, our farmers and breeders will keep pace ,yith the best of poultry producing states. From an account of what Judge Card, Connecticut, had to say about the quality of the Reds at the South Carolina Rhode Island Show at Ches terfield: "In variety, South Carolina ,R. I. Reds of single comb variety are on par with any exhibit ever staged in an Eastern Show, including the biggest city and hub of the universe. As a Northern and Eastern Judge who has handled the world's best, I am stating without equivocation or mental reservation that this grand class of Reds at Chesterfield was far superior to any exhibit I have judg ed this season, and would compare favorably with the best winter shows North, East, and West."
