iiv" E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday. November !, 1!'U8. 11 was a pleasure lo see so tuauy of our Saluda friends in Newberry the past several days. The steel bridge as again in service. We missed them while the bridge was out of eoininis,-iun. Tliis is their natural trade centre and we are always glad to see them and hope they will come often to make up for the time they .vere cut off from us. A small farmer in Newberry county told 11- the other day thai lie planted lo make nine bales yf cotton and would gather eight. lie makes >il I lie needs l<? eat on the I arm and 3ias paid the bank, the merchant, the preacher and the editor, lie did not need I lie serv ices of the lawyer or the doctor the past year, lie is the kind of farmer of whom we need more in this country. He lives in the .lolly Street section?a mighty good count rv. A small farmer from Saluda told ^i- hist week licit he planted only six acres in cotton but would gather five heavv bales. That is not bad, is it ? And then he was selling chickens at thirty cents a piece and eggs at Iwentv-fivc cents ;i dozen and could have sold inauv more than he had right here in Newberry for the cash. We in'i'tl to r;ii-e more things to eat in tliis section. We can grow almost anything that is good in this coiint rv. Mr. S. M. Ihiucau raised corn at "J I I 'J cents a bushel and I lie yield was -mail not more than hall what ,-an be raised per acre anywhere ir Newberry county. And' yet then are people who will say it does not pa v to grow corn in this county I'oVu has been selling all the year ai a dollar and above per bushel. Thei since we have discovered the new disease pellagra, it is not safe to ea bread from western corn, and goo* corn bread is mighty healths. The rains on Wednesday :l,u Thursday last week kept many peopl away from the Shite l'air. I ho* who attended say tin' exhibits thi year were better than usual. l-'very Democrat should go to th polls today and vote. It is iniportaii to cast a full vote even though th epposition in this State does m amount to anything. The farmers this year above ^ a others should sow small grain. Ih is one way and the only way to g< ahead and be independent. 'flie citizens meeting will be he tonight in council chambers to d cidc upon the rules and regulatio * governing the city primary. The should be a full meeting. Of cur the primary for the nomination mayor and' aldermen will be adoj ed. At presenl there is no oppositi to Mayor I .aimford and as The ll< aid and News stated sometime ago is not probable that there will be a opposition. lie has no doubt m;i .some mistakes but upon the wh has made a good mayor, lie is p gressive and enterprising and ? vear is scarcely long enough to g opportunity to do inuc.li. The tc should be two years and there sho be two aldermen from each ward a term of two years each. The following from the News ; Courier is the same creed The llei and News has been trying to prod for many years: ' A n intelligent and indust ri man who owns a well stocked I; of average fertility in South ('; liua can earn a livelihood and money without planting an acre cotton if he >o wish. We do not visi- that cotton planting he ahaiu ed, that would not be a wise de| ture, because cotton is and will i tinue to be a paying crop, but man who does not diversify opp the laws of nature that have I decreed for this land ot hills and leys, of diversified climate and s? The farmer in this section sh diversify to the extent of groi what is needed for the farm on farm. Then grow all the col Ion sihle regardless of the prico-. ('< is our only money crop or rather onlv crop from which we can re 1 he cash at any time. And is crop from which we should expe< get our money but it does us 1 ^ood when that money has to go iiwjiy from us for those tliinyx we v< should raise on lite J'anii. it RECEIVED APPOINTMENT. t. , S( Mr. 0. 0.
