" INDEPENDENCE ON THE FARM- t I Much has been said about independence on the farm. Poets have sung of it, dreamers have dreamed of it, the city slave longs for it, writers make IoYisj preaehmonts about it, an<l to all but fanner it is tin* nearest thing on earth to Utopia. Yet the average farm of to-day is the most dependent institution imagionable. c It is helpless, it is iu swadling cloths, it t cannot stand alone. It is pitiable. v Notwithstanding the many preachments b from theoists and skilled agriculturists on a the vital questions of farm improvement j and farm economy the way is still dark, I r and the lesson of how to be independent j a .... f.,..rn >1..c not vet Iippii Iparilfid hv lis o UJI tll?3 laim Uiw MV|> vv ^ _ Our main dejiendence lies in the provi-iii sion of the staff t?f life-bread we must buy. f< Our bread for the table, we must buy food k for our horses, for our cattle, we must buy d food even for our chickens.

A GRAiN INSPECTOR NEEDED. The docters in their meetings nnd medial journals have much to say about perms ho* dangers that lurk in dust, impure later and milk, and they would make us "lieve that death is lying in wait for us t every turn of the pathway of iife. We will call their attention to some real ;ood they might do. At least, Dr. Blake nd the board of health might be the means f having only clean, sound corn sent to narket. We bought some western corn or chickens. It looks as if it had been iln dried. It is not tit to grind up to make og bread, A wise corn inspector should be appoined, or added to the health department. L,very mercnant receiving a cunuuu ui 0111 should be required to inform tlie inpector. If the corn is not perfectly sound eject it. If that is done, merchants would oon buy only No. 1 corn and they would iave 110 more No. 3 shipped to this market. It is bepeved that many animals have jeen killed in this state by this unsound orn. Then it is probable that pellagra is aused by eating the meal made from it A rrain inspector would help matters very nuch?Free Lance. Lei me handle yonr real estate for yon. I ru sell It. Kobt. 8.

Z. FAIR] I Grain Inspector. Somo tlmo ago we spoke of the necessity of having a Grain Inspector. We have meat inspectors, why is it not just as important to have grain inspectors? Some people do not know the danger in using damaged corn and sincc damaged corn or meal conies so much cheaper than the other kind they buy it in preference. Such people should be looked after by the law, they do not know how to take care of themselves. Rotten coi n ought not to be allowed on the market any more than is rotten meat. Should our butchers sell meat that is a little bit tainted wo would hear a howl from the meadows, but car loads of spoiled corn is chopped and sold here each ! year. The corn spoils in transit, on arrival it is refused by the consignee and some merchant buys it at a great discount and chops it and retails the damaged stuff. We do not mean to say that they claim it to be first class, not at all, they acknowledge that it is damaged and sell it cheap and we buy it because it is so cheap, not realizing the danger in using such corn lor any purpusu. Not long ago a large quantity of meat was submerged in Greenville. The in- i speetors ordered that the meat should not J be sold to consumers, and in consequence though the meat was not spoiled, yet the packers had to use it for soap grease in order to utilize it at all. It would be much better to have used this meat than to use a car load of rotton corn. The corn " is the more dangerous of the two. We should have a grain inspector and ] those of us who buy our grain from the West should pay the inspector. No man who raisies his own grain should be burdened with such a tax. Let the state charge 5 cents per bushel on all corn brought into the state and in this way the man who will not raise hisown corn will have to pay to have his corn inspected. The merchant will not lose any m thing, he will only put the price 5 cents per bushel higher. In this way those who m must buv corn will be protected against J damaged corn. Damaged com kills at least 50 mules I per year in Abbeville County. The value ii'i Ho of lpAsf. 'ssfirin. I ill bllUOU UIU1VO numu vv Mv v How many people are made ill by using damaged meal will never be known. We need to be protected from our own ignorance. Some people know the danger of rotton corn but most people act as m if there was absolutely no danger. Put the tax on com?charge 5 cents per * bushel on every bushel that crosses the state lino coming this way and pay honest inspectors to see to it that we are not led into the tomptation t>f purchasing rotton corn at a discount or reduced to the necessity <jf eating meal which may produce pellagra. " t Conference Coming. The Conference of the Methodist Church " is soon to meet at this place, by invitation of the people of Abbeville, in and out of the Methodist Church. This means that some 400 delegates will have to be entertained. " Abbeville is noted for its open-armed hospitality, and it goes without saying that she will extend such a cordial recep- < tion to our Methodist brethren, as- will accentuate this hospitable characteristic. t rT'u~ VTn+U/^riiof ?V,iir/>h ie rlninc a crnat lilC iUCUivmipu VUU4VM 0 work. Its mission lies nearer the people * as a whole, perhaps, than any evangelical church. This church in a striking manner founds its religious work in business prin- j ciplcs, and every necessity must be an active force or he must pay the penalty of slothfulness. Abbeville can not do herself greater | honor, and incidentally greater good, than to extend a cordial welcome to the conference. ] The homes of all denominations should ( be thrown open; for if a man ifi entertain- , ing strangers, "may entertain angels unawares", how much greater the oppor- 1 tunity, when that stranger is known to be j a worker in the Master's vineyard. j , WANTS SAMUELS OUSTED. 1 . 1 Mass Meeting to be Held at Chester ] to Consider Means for Securing ' New Mayor.
