Kditor Lancaster News:
Our city has had a number of
Lu religious revivals recently aud
as a result numbers of new mem.
bers have been received iuto the
different churches and great good
has been accomplished. The
' First Methodist church was the
first to hold a revival this year
and the regular pastor, who is
. one of the ablest preachers we
have ever heard, did all the
preaching. They had a very line
meetiug. The meeting at the
^ Fir^t Baptist church closed only
fa few days ago. Dr. Truitt, of
Texas, who is sometimes called
the "Spurgeon of the South,"
did most of the preaching. His
l ? sermons were very fine. Nothl
ing sensational or amusing
J throughout his eutire series of
| * -crmoug, but plain gospel preachI
1 ing in au,earnest, graceful man. I
r ner.
Intjompany with three gentlemen
of this city, we had the
pleasure of an automobile trip to
Fort Valley recently, a distance
\ of ahout thirty 'miles from here.
It was an ideal afternoon for
such a trip. The roads were in
fine oondition, and traveling
j through an agricultural aud
peach section which is tamed tor
^ its abundaut crops, aud with a
very congenial party, the trip
was very pleasant indeed. Farm
lands along the way range in
price from ten dollars to twenty^five
dollars per aare. Of course
the high priced farms, some cf
them, are made more valuable
by reason ol the large numbers
. of peach trees growing on them,
hut there are many valuable
iarm6, Irom an agricultural
>4 Vf ,:.4f standpoint alone. We noticed
many beautiful fields of small
< grain, both wheat and oats.
Many of the farmers attribute
the fine condition of the grain
largely to the late application ot
f nitrate of soda, which is now
used a great deal as a late fertilizer
for grain. Our attention
was also attracted to the very
large, level fields, beiug prepared
)' for corn and cotton. Don't think
we ever saw farm lands in better
condition, having been prepared
with the latest improved
implements. The farmers have
about finished planting corn, at
f this writing, and are taking ad'
4 f vantage of the line weather this
week, plauting cotton.
The recent advance in the
price of cotton to 10 cents caused I
thousands ot bales to be thrown1
on the market and we have expected
a sharp decline as a result,
but the price holds up well.
Maiiy farmers are anxious to sell
at this price for delivery next
fall, but New York contracts
have not reached a price that
will warrant 10 cents for good
middling cotton next tall, yet
I, * The party who tried okra
growing as an experiment last
