To the Editor of the Dispatch: I left White Rock March 16, and made the trip all right and enjoyed it finely. I stopped over in Athene, Ga , one day and visited many parts of the , town. Athens has many of the mod- | ern improvements of a first class city. There are located some of the finest business colleges in the South. It is one of the finest cities that I : ever the pleasure to visit. Well, I have located here in the ' northern part of Georgia and like the j place exceedingly well. This is one j of the finest parts of Georgia. The j people are very modest and indus- j trious. Since I have been among ! them they have been very kind to ! me and remembered me in many j ways with vegetables, for which I | am very thankful. Such thought- j fulness makes me feel that I am I i among friends. This is a grand j farming country. They grow every- j thiDg on the farm from a cow pea to 1 sweet potato. The chief products j are cotton and corn. The corn was ; mostly all planted when X arrived, j Cotton is raised in abundance. The farmers make from sixty to eighty bales a piece. This is a fine small grain country, ; but they do not pay much attention to sowing it. The wheat is about ready to head now and is looking j very fine. The soil is very easily ! cultivated. It is a dark sandy one j and has but very few rocks. There have been some gold mines discovered lately, but they have not worked them to any extent yet. Land sells very high (from $75 to j $100 per acre) in some places. The | farming here is nearly all done by ! the negroes. There are about six negroes here to one in Lexington coun- | ty, S. C. The late freeze did not damage ! the fruit crop at all. There will be ; peacbe3 in abundance. It, however, damaged the young corn and early gardens to some extent. The little town of S contains five large stores and one grist and fiour mill. The grist mill runs two days in a week, one ginnery that runs four seventy-saw gins and ! ginned 1,670 bales of cotton last season. Two churcheB are hear?a Baptist and Methodist?one school that runs ten months in the year. - " ! chitis and la grippe. At The Kauimann | j DrugCo's., drag store. Price 50c. and j SI.00; guaranteed.

They do not celebrate anything but Monday after Easter, and on that day they have barbecues, picnics and i fishing parties as well as other amusements. They had a grand celebration on Memorial day which was yesterday. All of the graves of the dead Confederate soldiers in the cemeteries were beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens. In conclusion I will say that the members of the family are all well and like the place and the people. Wishing the Dispatch much success, I arm E. K. April 27, 1905. Saved by Dynamite. Sometimes-a filming city is saved by ' dynamiting a space that the fire can't i cross. Sometimes a coaga naags on so j long, yon feel as if nothing but dynamite [ would cure it. Z T.

All Druggist* What Shall We Raise? To the Editor of the Dispatch: The important day has dawned upon us as farmers to resort to other means than raising cotton for 7 cents and live. Most especially those of us who are paying a handsome rent ' MM . a Mi?.. _ mt _ ior sou mat we are tilling. J.ne average farmer who tills his own land, can, by alternating and vacating his crops, afford to raise a few odd bales of this 7 cent staple. But the question confronting us is simply "What shall we raise'?" This problem is quickly and easily solved. First of all the farmer must remove from his upper story the idea that he must raise cotton as a money crop. When he will do this and resort to something else, he will readily find that there is success to crown any honest endeavor a man may choose to pursue. Your scribe has no doubt in his mind that if a man should prepare his lands and go into the peanut, strawberry, pea, sugar cane, or even corn and chicken business, and put his honest labor, skillful management and his full mind and a determination to it, would make a success. And notwithstanding the fact that should he fail in one of these enterprises, why try another. Here is one advantage of raising other crops instead of cotton. Most any crop can be produced with onethird less labor than cotton, considering both the cultivation and gathering of the fleecy Btaple. Take potatoes for instance. A very thin soil with rough barnyard manures together with a high grade acid with only two or three good cultivations is all that is necessary to produce from 80 to 100 bushels per acre. They also at the same time, improve the soil they grow upon at a fast ?a^a TKo fa or fKof. flnlfivatoa labCi xuo miujci tuuv uwhihvuu sandy land has also a grand opportunity at his door. With peas selling all the way from Si to Si 25 per bushel, and just think of the amount of peas can be raised by simply sowing them among corn during lsy-by. Yet many an acre of wheat stubble land lies idle from June till April while a crop of peas could be easily made and at the same time, the viDes left on the land after picking would be worth at least their weight in average commercial fertilizer. I heard a wise old farmer only a few days ago in some farm talk say, that he produce peanuts on a somewhat large scale, that he plants upon shallow soil, uses two hundred pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre, plants very close, sells peanuts cff of seven acres to the amount of 8800. He also cures the vines which bale up at least five Iods of the finest hav, which we will venture to say, is worth at least $15 per ton. And now if one man can do this why can't another do similar. What shall we raise? Why raise plenty of corn and hogs for our own home consumption and experiment with some new crop or crops. I have written this hoping that many of us may go to thinking ere planting time once more arrives. With best wiehe3 to every farmer I am, That's Who. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Eemedy and want to say it is the best cough medicine I have ever taken," says Geo, L. Chubb, a merchant of Harlan, Mich. There is no question about its being the be-t, as it will cure a cough or cold in less time than any other treatment. It should always be kept in the bouse ready for instant use, for a cold can be cured in much less time when promptly treated.
