' * p It turns up now that somebf V a Isp renort on the sons f I of preachers, and that the report ^ has been believed all these years when, in fact, there never was any foundation for it. The people have . believed it, we presume, from the 7 perversity of human nature. We have 0 - all heard from the time we were e able to hear anything that the n preacher's boys were the bad boys a in every community. All the good s' women in Abbeville, .and other places, have taken pains to see that Tommie and Willie and Sammie ,did 11 not play with the tfad-boys the s' preachers were rearing. d; And now comes "Life" with the ^ rv figures to show ihat, we have been n gy accusing the preachers wrongfully ir all these >years. The figures show ^ that in proportion to* their numbers 01 about three times the number of Cl P'/ preachers' sons make good to every ^ jvr one of the man of the next nearest ^ Is?, callinc. which is that of the lawver. 01 I In the proportion of numbers about b eighteen sons of preachers have ^ naade good to every five sons of c< lawyers and every three of physi- ^ cians, which palling rank in the or-. ** ?der Btated, I " ' There his never been any good ' reason why the preacher's boys should be bad. Too much, perhaps, has been expected of them on ac- j? count of the position of the father, 0 and then again sometimes, maybe, j, the old gentleman has held the f, reins so tightly at home that when ^ abroad the boys have been forced to relieve the pressure foj a little n while. But when you come to think p of it, there are not many 20ns of 3 preachers whom you are able to g name who have proved unworthy or j undesirable citizens. 1 g worth while to know that an untruth has bean exposed, and that the assertion that righteousness begets > unrighteousness has been proved to be a fabrication. It should not be to 'the discredit of a boy that his 1 father is a preacher. He should not be discounted in the community when the figures place him above par. jpfcji, , ? And there are good reasons why j, ? the sons of preachers should sue- a ip ceed, the reasons applying in lesser a degree perhaps to the other two of a i v; learned professions. The boys are a p always reared by men of education I and refinement. The preacher must u f; be above the level of-^he congrega- p >:> tion or he will not long * be the j, jj?l;' preacher. Hence it is that the 'p preacher's boys have educated men & to train them, fben again the eduI'v cated man knows full well the ad% vantages and necessities of a train- j ed mind. He desires this above all r f 'yr things for the son. While he does j. not receive and never has received :>i a salary commensurate with his j ?i': ' ? u. l _ l j . learning, ne nas mwaya mcivcu j enough to enable him to educate his r children. Then again he is at home i with the family. The sons are more ^ directly under his tutelage than j K are the sons of other fathers. He z ;l has more time to give to the train- f .' ing of the boys, or he is able to { give more than other parents. j Again we might say that the ? J, preachers, on account of their not & . receiving as much salary as some { professions, are themselves school- ,t ed in economy and need also to ] school their sons in the same prin- ] ciples. The result is that these ; ;V boys are reared to know the worth ( of every dollar they handle, and ^ that each dollar is supposed to do a dollar's duty. But whatever the reasons it is GROWING WHEAT. The yield of wheat in Abbeville 2oun,ty this year is so satisfactorj hat we feel sure another wintei rill see a much greater acreag< (lanted in this eread crop. Yean igo the people of the county gre\* nost of the wheat used . In those lays there was plenty of fertile and, and when one field would nol \ rield wheat, another one was clear sd up and planted. But with the >assing years most of the arable and has been cleared and the con/ tant growing of crops thereon withut a corresponding contribution tc he fertility has robbed the ground >f the wheat-growing properties. The past season has shown the armers that in order to grow the i>heat they must restore to the land if K o a Vioor* IIUSC blllllgO VI nuivu 1?M0 vw*. hus robbed, and when this is done airly satisfactory crops may be exiected, barring of course damage rom a severe winter, something rtiich was always to be reckoned .ith. With , the prevailing price of ower, and the scarcity of it in th^ ountry, and, therefore, the inbility of the people to have flour i the homes in war times, it beojnes every farmer to grow at least nough wheat for his own use, if ofc some for sale. The wheat, we re told by those who should know, hould be planted in September af?r the land has been properly ferilized, and properly * prepared, and 1 the spring the proper fertili^r hould be again applied. ] While the harvest season is OHj lans for the new crop should be * * ' l ..mmaUh lade, a wneac growing cjuupai^n i Abbeville ounty would be a good ling for the summer. We 'might all a mass meeting -and select th aunty officers, get rid of politics 5r a season, and give the valuable me which will otherwise be wasted 11 the office-seekers to plaflf for 4 etter crop of whaet next J"dne? here are farmers in AbbeviHl Dunty who are versed in whsftt rowing, and one of them ike the lead in this campaign.
