ELLIOTT.) I can well remember when the soldiers who were ready to go to war would pile their baggage, nap sacks etc on the floor of the old Thespian hall to wait for the train. The old hall stood just where the present building stands. My mother would often 1 send me to the post office in thisi I building and generally gave me instructions to come right back home at once. But, bov like, I I wanted to see the soldiers. While I playing around amongst them one of them hid my cap amongst the baggage *and kept it a long time. Finally I plead with him and told him I'd get a whipping if I did not -go hon4e and he said, that wouldn't. hurt. me in any way. After teasiog me for quite a while he finallk^ gave me the I cap and~when I home I laid all the blame on "the mean old1 soldier." He just kept my cap and would not let me come home. The trains going to Virginial with soldiers froi the lower,, country would -always stop at the, Thespian hall, which was' the passenger station and the Winns boro ladies were- generally on hand to give themreod and coffee. Mrs. Sarah DuBie, deceased, told me within the last five years that she owed het. life to my father. I asked herin what way and she saiK.on an occasion when the Winnsboro women were feed ing the soldiers at the .station I, boarded the train with a large 1 waiter of sandwi6es, pies and coffee and. remaining too long on the train I found that it was in motion. In my excitement I ran to the door and trieli to ascend I ~ss irt andfa Ae ward the platform. Your father was standing on the platform 1 and realizing I was. about to be dashed to death sprang toward me and.dai?ght-.ue endtifted me~ clear from the contidi: of.thetrain setting me righY ifown on my feet. She remarkjed,''"but for! his coolness I- would not be here to telthe story." The soldiers ofter' r'ode in box oars-they were sitting in the door with theirfeettanging out,. some on top, some&between the1 boxes on the bumpers. ~'The old hall was burnt about 1872 and nearly every man in town stayed up alf night. Glenn McCants was sitting on a bucket in front of the live .~table-across the street and a sun arose, Jack Frazier said, git back there 1 boys and let Glenn; see the sun1 rise for I know its; been a long , time since he saw itrise, to which1 Glenn assented. 'The present hall was built in 1873 as the date1 on the building shows. . After Sherman burnt Winns boro the people were reduced al- 1 most to want. But when his< marauders entered Fairfield coun ty, in the fall, the St.ate of Southi Carolina they found a garden 4 spot Planting cotton was al most suspended during the war i and hog and hominy was pursued most assidously. Bartering corn, and hogs was commorn. My father quit building cotton gins, sand made spinning wheels and reels exclusively. I remember I Mr. John Simonton coming in to pay for some spinning wheels. and reels with corn and flour,1 and on being askeed what pricei he wanted, replied. oh whatever is market price. So a runner was sent to Jno. 15. Cathcart's store and the pride was fixed there and each party was satis led. We had home made candles,! made of fatten from home raised beef cattle. I thought it a great privilege to be allowed to run the candles. One kind of a light, a rather poor one, was made by; dipping a large cotton cord in hot bees wax and coiling it around a corn cob. Our shoe, blacking was made of boiled China berries, Soot from the chimney and a: itl hot tallow. The shoe look ed like.it .had been treated to a dressing of inferior stove -polish.. We dug up the dirt in the smoke house of an- old home in Winns boro to get what salt was in the earth. Our coffee was made of wheat and rye. Rye made the best coffee. We . were playing town ball in Mrs. -Oxner's vard soon after Sherman's raid and Ed. Gerig threw the ball into a' box of parched rye which was set out to cool after being parch-, ed. We had to get to work and gather the scattered coffee grains, for they were very precious. RGAIN ( i can get Tb riptions taken Another Whiskey Tragedy. (From The Savannah Press.) Some people have been known to say that "if you let liquor alone it will let you alone," and I that it is an invasion of personal -ights to stop the sale of intox icants on the ground that if a nan does not want liquor he does iot have to get it. As a matter of fact, though, time after time it has been clear y demonstrated that liquor will ot let those alone who do not ise.it. The greatest victims of liguor are too often those who 1ave never tasted it. The Macon tragedy of yester lay was another clear instance f the danger that lies in whiskey :o those who do not use it. A ;weet young woman, on the way ome, was slain in the street by i builet fired recklessly by a man nflamed with liquor. It mat :ered nothing to the rum-soaked, alf-crazed young man where the >ullets from his pistol went Rum does not let the innocent lone, and because of that fact nd the general injury it does to ;ociety it must eventually go as ther curse? go. The girl lying lead in Macon, the broken-heart d parents, the distressed riends, will be added to those vho have decreed that the end )f the reign of "King Rum" nust draw to a close. It is quite probable that the ,haJme that has been brought to .eorgia by recent wild lynching rusades had its origin more in he whiskey that distorted and nflamed the brains of the lynch rs than in any offense that had een committed by -negroes. 'hese and other incidents will ncourage those who are deter nined to enforce the new laws nd will strengthen the public ~pinia~.-tat-s developing to sus-4 C ~PR1NG ONION .POINTERSI ~oye Practical Suggestions .About How and Whee--.to Plant Seeds, and Sets to Best Onions. Onions may be grown in spring from eed or from sets. However, spring a )lanting of seed is not generally so f atisactory and sets are recommend- I 4 for the man who neglected to plant fall and who wants early onion. or best results with seed, plant 13 hem in October, in order that the I lants .may become established before aU evere winter weather begins and that s he onions may grow off rapidly in t pring and mature early in June. t Stil, if seed are planted very early I spring and 'conditions are favor Lble, they will make good onions, al- a ough they will be smaller and later fa han those from fall-sown, seed. Onions should be planted on very andy loam. After the land has been oroughly prepared by deep plowing d repeated harrowing, apply ferti izer and manure broadcast and lhar ow Into the first three or four inches f soil very'thoroughly. Lay off rowsj Ifteen inches apart, plant the seed i he drill, and cover the seed to a depth f one-half to three-fourths of an nch. When the young seedlings ap ear, cultivate frequently in order to estroy weeds end maintain moisture. hin out the onions so as to leave hem standing three or four inches part i,n the row'. To grow onions from sets, prepare d fertilize the land as when plant g the seed and plant the sets just as1 oon in spring as soil conditionis willJ ermt. Plant them three to four nches apart in rows fifteen inches .part. White Pearl and Prizetaker are the wo most reliable varieties for 'this -egion. - Sets are more convenient for the ome-gardener,, but for a commercial )nion planter, seed-planting is to be ( ,referred, becadse onions grown from 3eed keep better than those grown rom sets and because seed cost less han sets.
