I ti. - Editor Keowee Courier: Find en closed one dollar lu pay my subscrip tion from now until August. 1910. i have received your paper every week since I was ?it your office last Aug ust, and I am always glad when Fri da) conies. W hen 1 get through with the paper I feel as though 1 had talked with some ol" the old folks at home. I intended wilting up my trip for your paper when 1 got home, bul I was so long getting there and had so much lo talk about that I failed lo do so: but I must confess that my trip to the old home county was the grandest of my life. To see my old home county getting along so well Wils a pleasure indeed. Place's that were considered worthless a few years back are coining forward, and things then thought of no use are in great demand, and the people ?ire as a rub. doing well. All that was a great pleasure, and I was so glad to see it. lt caused me no little sorrow, of course, to note the absence of many of the old friends whom I had known in my younger days, many of them having crossed over to the great beyond-yet that is the com mon fate of all, and sooner or later each one of us must answer the final summons, and the pi: ces and people who knew us once shall know us no more. 1 note by the paper and i i private letters that the crops with you are not so good as last year. V e are In the same condition in Texas, only we have had no rain. We did not have a good season from October, 19 08, until April, 1000, so our fnrmers are gathering very short crops of cotton, corn and oats; wheat none. I was south of Round Rock Saturday last, and saw some cottou that looks good for a half bale to the acre, and corn about 30 bushels to the acre that was planted early. All corn and cotton that was planted late is no good. We have bad and are having some of the hottest and driest weather I have ever seen In Texas. Our gins in town have ginned about fifty bales of this year's crop, and they are now In tho cotton yard, sold for from 12 to 1 2 Ms cents per pound. Tho first bale eld brought $7">.0o and a premium of $10, so that the owner did well. We need min badly, and our crops are getting wofully short. Still, while this is all true, we are expecting to pull through this gloomy time for another year. To-day one year ago my wife and I left M. C. I'odd's home and your town for Round Rock, but we were on the road until the Otb day of Sep tember. We enjoyed the trip and our visit immensely.
