Your humble scribe has been OD the siok list or rather indisposed for some time and the pross of the farm has delayed this letter. We are wanting rain to bring up the crops. Here is it the 25th of May and not half a stand of cotton up. The outlook is a little gloomy, yet with all the drought our farmers appear to be hopeful and contented about the outcome. The drought bas damaged the oat crop at least half of what it promised the first of May. The acreage in corn is much more than last year and from what we can learn the farmers of the south are realizing the necessity of planting more corn and others snough at least for home use. Some of us have learned by experience that we can make more clear mon 3y by sowing oats and following the oats with peas. For last years ex perience I planted on a one horse Farm 8 acres to cotton on good land md calculated getting 8 good bales of cotton. The excessive rains in lune and July made rapid growth. Then the dry spell followed which jaused the dropping ol? of the Forms and thc result was that I got i light bales of cotton. The fall of 1911 I sowed t? acres in oats in jame field the same quality of land iv i th less than half the fertilizers that was used on the cotton. I made over 200 bushels of oats. I followed with peas and cut over two hund.ed dollars' worth cf good pea vine hay, iot only made more money on the ?x acres I had in oats but improved the land and now I have on a por tion of that six acres a fair crop of" volunteer oats that are about as ?ood as the oats I sowed last fall. [ guess I have written enough on' the farm subject ae I can get in this week. Our little town is still on the Tiove more people moving in and ithers wanting houses and if the ngns are not deceptive we will have ?orne new buildings erected this mmmer and fall. Our high school ilosed with a good entertainment tvhich gave entire satisfaction to the patrons and the public general y. Prof. Fowler and his two as <?8tants merited much praiee for .he management of the school through the en'.ire term and par .icularly the closing exercises. We are looking forward to thc some coming of the young girls ind young men that are off at ?chool. Miss Essie Collier from Virginia, Miss Dorothy Miller From Charlotte, N. C., where she is engaged in the millinery business. Miss Lucile Sturkey from Lander ?ollege. Felder Miller from the Dsborne's business college in Au gusta, and Messrs. Milledge and Ralph Sturkey from Drr.ughns business college in Columbia. 1 ?ro. Minis, you can imagine the joy of ill, both children and parent alike jlad to be home in the family cir cle. Mr. C. L. Wideman's little son hester met with an accident that ;aused the amputation of a portion )f his foot. He was driving a pair of mules hitched to a cutaway har row when , the mules took freight md ran away throwing him off on .he tongue to which the little fel ow held until the team stopped md only his feet caught in the aarrow. TJhe horseless carriages are get ting to be a regular craze in our Lown. We have to be on the look out when we turn the corners or (vhen crossing the street, for you ire in danger of being run down by one of those lightning Btrikers lad the life crushed out of you. There are four of them in town ible to split the wind and a fifth one, a small one, on the sick or di lapidated list. Well, Bro. Minis, we ire living too fast and I fear many of us are out living our means. Wc were very anxious to go to the re-union but alas for us we have our oat crop on hand, and a new McCormick binder slaying the oats right and left wherever we strike them. Don Carlos.

Other men make good farmers be cause of the simple reaoon that thsy never knew when they are beaten always working, plowing, hoeing or harvesting in season. These latter kind of fellows have not time to become discouraged nor sour upon their calline in life. Industry breeds happiness; loose application fosters discouragement. A man may be buffetted about by adverse fates, his morrow looked upon to bring noth ing good; and be he a farmer, me chanic or a laborer, he can search the universe and he will find only one rule tu help bira. That rule says that whatever his trade or calling be, he must keep ever at it, because perseverance is the only hope that any man can have if he would gain '"uccejs.-Farm Journal. .
