In response to an invitation from .Mr. L. It. Thonipnon, a progres sive fanner of that section, a number of residentB of the community gath ered at lils homo.recently for tho pur pose of organizing BUCll a club and agreeing upon a plan of action. Twenty-five milos of roadway were apportioned for systematic dragging, by way of a starter. Thia will be over tho upper highway from Ander son to Pendleton, and it will receive regular dragging over its entire course. We ure further Informed that this meeting marks but the beginning, that soon another will be held, ut which time lt is expected every road of the community will bo udded to the hst that will receive treatment. Drags are now being mude, and as soon as thu timo is propitious the work viii begin. A more wholesome piece of news han nut been printed in a local paper during tlie year. Such a spirit among tho people of n section in most com mendable. It shows that thoy are alive to the beat interests of tho com munity, unselfish, generous and pub lic spirited. Such an organization in every section of Anderson would work wonders for tho Improvement of the rondwaya throughout the county, giving the banner county of the Pied mont a systom of highways second to nono in tho state. The value of good roads to a community ia a truth so well known und a subjoct so often discussed that we need not touch on that point at all In this connection. Tho success of the Lebanon club and all other clubs, for that matter, dopend upoii tho active cooperation of all the people of the commu 'ty. Un less this active cooperntlon exists from tho very start the club might as weli disband. We hopo the Lebanon club will not turn back after setting Its hand to tho plow, and that Its ex ample will be fi Vowed by others throughout. tho c* ral y i . . THE HAPPY PLANTER N. L. Willet, agricultural writer for the Augusta Chronicle, tells a story of a farmer In hlB vicinity who "af ier iiatonmg to the various preach ments on crop diversity, this year tried lt out." He had nover before grown anything but cotton, and had learned nothing about transforming end converting the crops, so he ?nd? himself with produce on his hands which he may not be able to sell. "Tlie man "who has not learned tb .transform farm cropB into beef, ?p'areV ribs and chicleen has not gone far In utfHculture," snys Mr; Willet. Tho man, however, is happy. He says ho "feels this year a thousand times better than last year.". "I had then no food In tlie barn or cellar, but today i httve enough food In some lines to last my plantation for two years if I could only keep lt.- Cer tainly I have on my place sufficient farm food for a wholo year's wants. You have no Idea," ho continued, "what a burden and load has been lifted from my mind this year-a bur den that weighed exceedingly heavily and sorely a year ago. I have peaco of mind now, where I bad wretched ness a year ago. My eight cr nine bales of cotton represent, to me clear prout, and I can go into the work of the new year unafraid and independ ent, and. with absolute assurwice." The inability to get rid ot cotton tn 1914 was a blessing in disguise to many a southern farmer. He had been hearing "various preachments on crop diversity" ' for years but so long as be Could move his cot toa, they fell on deaf . ears. Brought right up. against want by last year's financial difficulties, he bas begun to take.the road which leads to real prosperity.
