OA Iv WA Y AND SOUTH INION. Mr. Wright Finds "Tho Garden of Eden*1 Of Oconoe County. Editor Keowee Courier: ll was my intention to write a long letter this week about the good people, tho Que crops and the beautiful Howers In this beautiful section; bul I am reminded of the fact that 1 must make it very brief for lack of spa ?e. From Thomas Bibb's to South l'n ion, on the Fair Play road, corn and cotton are tine. Mr. Bibb thinkb he Will make a halo of cotton to the acre. His acre of prize corn ls good. The man who beats Tom will he the winner. We spent Monday night with Berry Moore, Tuesday night with John R. Zachary, Wednesday night with Joe McJunkln, Thursday night with J. A. Eu bunks, and Friday night with the Duke of Oakway, An drew Bearden. We took dinner with W. W. Bearden. He has one of the be;-.t houses in Oakway. H. H. King was fifty years old last week, and we were honored as one of his guests on that occasion, and oh, what a good dinner they had, and how e ery one enjoyed himself. This ls the firth time that I have been in Oakway. I have been there In mid-winter, spring, summer and fall. I have always found the peo ple of Oakway kind-hearted and true. They live on what they make, and there never was a more hospita ble people. ] wish 1 had space to tell just how kindly 1 was treated at each place 1 stopped. But 1 will say that there are a lot of good farmers In Oakway and South Union, and I was glad to note that almost every house had an Instrument of music, and a lot of beautiful hot-house flowers. Mrs. McJunkln has the fin est assortment of ferns that I ever saw. It has been said hy one of the great poets that where music and (lowers had and bloom, peace reigns in tin* home. Passing through South Union I came to the river hill. John W. She lor's home Is on the top of one of those hills. Here one has a beautiful view of both South Carolina and Georgia, and can behold the king doms of the world In a moment of time. The people of Oakway and South Union, 1 found, live on what they produce at home. They don't live in tin cans and paper bags. But let me tell how Andrew Bear den farms. (He told me a lot that I would like to write, but we are limited.) He has in his individual farm from three to four acres that he plants In corn and gathers each year from 70 to 80 bushels. He has been selling on an average euch year .sim e he has been farming (since tho I war) one hundred bushels of corn. He has never bought a pound of bacon for his own use; he now re quires all of his renters to pl mt enough corn and oats, potatoes, etc., for their own use. Mr. Bearden is one of the most industrious, practi cal farmers I know of. He has a place for everything, and everything is at its place; hence we call him the Duke of Oakway. We found only one "snake-hunter" in all our trip. Ile could not see good In anybody or anything; could not even hear the hum of the bees or smell the honey. .lames Brown has a nb c home add a splendid farm, and he is a fine fanner. We walked over a part of his ot ton crop. Il any man makes a bate of cotton to Ibo acre he will. He ls a hustler. Ho and his good wife know just how to make a Stranger feel free and at. home. I met Grundy Hill, of Horse Cove, at Oakway. He ls Mrs. W. W. Bearden's father. He was with us In the 00's. He carries a lotter of nobility upon his person. It was written there with a grape shot. Truly, the farmers of Oakway can afford to say We envy not the princely man, In city or in town, Who wonders whether pumpkin v I rt es Bun tip Hie hill or down. We are the favored ones of earth; We breathe pure air each morn; We ?ow, wo reap the golden grain, We gather in the corn. We toll; wo live on what wo earn, And more than that we do Wo hear of starving millions 'round, And gladly feed them, too. We sing tho honor to tho plow, And honor to the press Two noble Instruments of toll, With each a power to bless-? The bono and nerve of this fast age, Truo woalth of humankind One tills tho over-generous earth, The other tills the mind. -J. Russell Wright. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
