Some ot the farmers are Introducing the Elberta. and It is a ' Peach," a thing of beauty. Train load after train load have pushed through Abbeville from Georgia, going to the northern market. As high as six trains, 90 car loads have passed in one days time, '.his industry has sprung up In the last lew years and U growing to be an Immense business. Georgia SjII is no better for peaches than South Carolina grit. Mr, R. L. Winn pre I sented ub with some peaches last week, grown on hla farm, that were magnificent. Huoh peaches would make a down East Yankee's mouth run water for days. Attention, Democrat*. i The rules of the primary require that the qualified voters must enroll his Dame on one of the club rolls of the county at least five days before the election.

' Tbe branches are all up, and tbat means .Long Cane and Little River are taking a I ( summer outing in tbe bills, and tbat down about Augusta and Savannah Georgia I . negroes are risfclng their lives a'ter watermelons, grown on Long Cine, It means that the otters and muskrats are out in tbe tall timber, waiting for the waters to go down. It means tbat what oatfish are left don't know i ome from a hillside. And , it means tbat many a poor man has lost all p bis corn . They are standing along tbe river banks now gazing at tbeir erst while promising fields, like Aeheus over the ashes of Troy. ' Tbe low lands a week ago exuberant with tha promise of fruit now lie a tangled mass of mud and quagmire. Occasionally we have advice to farmees from tbe Editor's easy chair. Advice on farming from tbe average editor is about as 1 well worth consideration as a root doctors on the germ theory. Of course there Is no harm done for no one knows better than the farmer bow innocent tbe editor Is of the subject. Without venturing, then, into the details of farming, we do presume to offer some suggestions based on common sense, touching our methods in corn raising. We so frequently hear people t>ay that the farmers are foolish to plant their bottoms In corn; th>\t corn can be raised on up land and should be planted there and not where It will be annually 6?ept by the floods. Under existing oondltlons thl.> would appear to be a reasonable view to take of the matter, but why not remedy the evil. The oorn ordinarily raised on an acre of upland Is usually worth little more than the cotton seed that might be produced from the I* same grade of land. Up land oorn Is too uncertain. The soil may beof the highest grade and every attention may be given to its cultivation aud yet the entire crop may be " cut off by a drouth at a critical period of Its growth. Then why not turn to our low grounds that are so well adopted to corn growing, except for the choked condition of our streams. Our state is literally threaded with water ways, which If well cleared, would give us a oorn area more than sufllclent to raise our supply of that cereal. There Is a law requlrlne every man to keep the itreams clear, on his land. Why not en force It? Why not use the convicts, two months In the year, say July and August, in clearing rafts from the main water ways, such as Long Cane Little River and similar streams. It may be urged that the measure Is local in its operation, and would not be for the benefit of the whole people. This however is not the case. There is scarcely a neighborhood In our county that hasn't a small stream ruunlug through It, and these mall streams can not be properly drained without first draining the main water ways. Might we not even dispense with the mud filled dams which aie choking the streams to so little purpose? The few corn mills that are left are on streams, grind little more corn than a hungry mule can eat In the run ot a year, and with little more speed, while they damage the lands of the mill owners themselves, thousands of dollars. Attending agricultural lectures Is all well enough to aid lu Intelligent farming, but the farmer knows that without moisture, the diphosphates and dl-somethlngelse can make a crop of corn only on paper; they know as well that the low grounds alone may be depended upon uniformly for>moisture. Will notour canbldates for the legislature take up the question of opening our main water ways, to discuBS with the people the advisability of It.
