tc get out in the county or Xew'oerr
among the good people who live here
about. The road to Pomaria diri t
is better than by Prosperity ana is j
few miles nearer. The road Trot !
Pomaria to Little Mountain is in nn j
condition. It has been good sines j
Irvin Feagle 'built it several years ag j
"When he was county supervisor.
mC ft
It was rather quiet at Pomana. in
only busy place seemed to be the Fo j
m&ria Oil mill in charge of Mr. A
K. Shealy. In fact, the only thing ia >
Js doing now is ginning cotton H j?
- said he did jiot know whether he i
woald grind any seed this year or' ;
not, though his mill is ready tbr wor*. .
He was bcsy running his gin and ft# ]
wtgons were in waiting. The mer* i
ch&nts were in good spirit whic 1

Mr. John C. Aull, the cashier of the J

along all right and tfiat means as tho !

is a good section of the county and <
Pomaria has always been a gooff T>us- 1

At Little Mountain it was quiet a! j"
. bo. , This is a section where the wlitta
people do largely all tfteir own woi*,
and the day was too fine for picking (
- cotton for many of them to be around ,
the village. The community is made *
up largely of small farmers and they
have fine crops this year and with
present prices even the farmers 01
this section are going to be in good
circumstances. One reason is they
grow on the farm what they need^Por
i
the farm and owe very little nraey
* and will not have to buy much of the
high price food stuffs. The OH min
is running right along and ih? glna
are busy. Mr. D. O. Prick has opened >
a blacksmith and repair shop an* ,
everything in ,the community is prospering.
From Little Mountain I, drov*
across to St Pauls by Mr. John F. Kiblers
at Kibler's Bridge. I wanted to
come by the old hills near Jolly
Street and to save coming up to Excelsior
school and going back I decided
to come across from Mt. Tabor.
This is a little stretch of road over
which I had not traveled since I was
I
a'boy, and that was a few years ago.
I came by or near where Mr. Geo. A.
Counts once lived. I was sorry I did
not get right by the old p:ace. Ani
sorry alfeo that I did not have som3
ope with me who could tell me who.
lived along the road. I thinJ* they
used to call Mr. Geo. A. Counts "jun-!
iorM and he was more generally
known, as I recall, as "Big George"Counts.
There was another Geo.
Counts who lived out near Mt. Pilgrim
and he was known as "Little George''
Obunts. He was the grandfather of J. M
Counts in Newberry and several o!
t&e Counts toys at Prosperity are his
grandchildren. "Big George" was tn
tether of Walter Counts who live3
near the old home and of Ernest
Counts at Prosperity and Will Counts
a* Little Mountain and then he had
seyerad daughters. All of them Handsome
women. The mental picture l
now have of his home is a two story
house with a long piazza on one sTSe
and in the yard some of the finest
watermeloas you ever La si en. i remember
when I was a little fellow
we us?d to go over there por dinner
after preaching at St. Pauls and after
a 2ne dinner of all the good thlngg
t&ose people knew so well how to
prepare, all the family and the visit*

is entirely too narrow. The country
along the way is not natural looking
to me now after all these years. The
timber has been cut and one sees very
few of the many cedars and big oais
that once stood in the woods along t: 3
roadside. All cleared up and now m
cotton and corn. Mr. John F. Kibler's
place looks very much the sanis
\
as it did in the days gone. Over beyond
Mr. Kibler lived "Big X" Cowers,
Mr. George Feagle, Mr. Wilso

others I do not now recall. As I
have said, Mr. Walter Counts lives
near the old home place or Ms rather,
and I think Dr. J. L. Bowers lives
in the home of his father. But the
country has changed very much. It
is natural that there should be changes,
?nd right I suppose. But a simple
i
change is not always an improvement
Let us all hope that the chang.es nave
fcecn for the better.
? - i
I came in by the old hpme and along
1
the road from St. Pauls by the parsonage
that Supervisor Sample openi
ed for us through there. It needs attention.
I built a couple of "bridges
acro96 the small streams as one ot
the conditions of getting the roaa,
but those hills are still there and
that makes the road one that will not
be traveled a greaf deal. ' Still, I
iame through with III without an j
trouble at all. It shortens the instance
for the people on this side t?
St. Pauls and if they would travel 5t
more it would help it. The road from
Jolly Street out to the Columbia road
is in good condition and now thaf
3ome of tSose farmers dowiTTii the: 3
iave bought real automobiles I hope '.ft
prill be kept in good condition.

We print Mr. Stevenson's speech

cottonseed Mr. Stevenson talks out
in meeting, but~*vhc' ;nod will it do.
The tbing for Oie cotton farmer ?o
do is to hold his cotton and his cotton1
seed and not put a bale on the market.
The banks will let you have
' money on it. And the world needs
'.your cotton. The mills are not goli;*
1 to spin it or grind the seed unless they
| make a profit out of it, then why
j should the farmer sell ai. nelow the
! cost of production, if tte mills ars
selling goods on the basis of 35 cents
cotton why should the farmer sell
for 20 cents. Not a bale should be
, offered below 25 cents ths pound and
j
if none was offered the price would

go up as fast as it went down despite
