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." PICKENS. R. 4. Hello!

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. Statement of thbe Uor,dition '.f thbe Bank of Norris, located at Norris, S.
