P' ness men of the town wno nave money; ~ are on the right track and pursuing/*5 the proper course. Let us sound one j ^ note of warning. Don't pursue too ^ many objects at the same time.

But just as The Herald and Newsjw said some time ago that the only thing.', to do was to establish a real market and instal a warehouse and be pre- ai +0 TianHlp for the cash all the farm products that the farmer of this \ ^ section had to sell, and to give him \ ? the market price for it in cash, just J 0 as he has been getting for his cot- J v A ton. One reason the farmer of this i section has devoted ail nis energies 10 cotton is that it is about the only * thing he could grow and feel that he ni could haul it to market and get the a] tc cash for it whether it was much or little. As a rule if he had butter or t|" eggs or anything else to offer, about the only thing he could do was to take * it out in trade, and, therefore, he had ^ no encouragement to grow it. ,a' The creamery is a fine thing and the ^ plan to go around and gather up the 15 milk and cream gives the small pro- ^ ducer ar equal showing withe -the big ^ one. If he has only one or two gallons of milk a day you will take it jusi; the ?l same as you would from the man who happened to have thirty or even fif- a* ty gallons. And we hope to see the thing going at once. Some years ago a similar proposi- ^ tion was talked about, but that was Pc - ... ., fii before the days of the 't>oii weevu, -and the people did not give it the encouragement they should, or the tr creamery would have been in opera- lr tion now. We hope the plan may lead to the este-blishment of that warehouse and CO cold storage plant for the handling of all sorts of farm produce and in 1 ca <111 U UcWi U UCd umi vt?v ^ ~ may knew at all times he can get the ^ cash at market price for whatever he ^ has to sell, or if he can not he can be told so before he leaves home by simply calling the phone. This is a great section of the world f lp in which we live and there are not many so favored. We can make al- * most anything we need right here, and then it is a pleasant place in which to live, but don' forget that it is the 8 duty and the privilege of this section nc to grow cotton, because the world j needs the cotton and it must be our. main money crop. ;on ? i? In the days when Mr. Hutchinson WJ went to mill with the two ^bushel sack tu of corn across the back of the mule ^ there were many others who did the same thing, but in these days the boys 01 would not be willing to ride a mule on a sack of corn, but they go in automabiles. Well, it is possibly all 011 right, 'because they can save time -and aI1 ?v?ry one is in a hurry to go seme-1 to ccsne back. The world ?? -wiHrit and is a. Smiry. WWther ancfc arvore it accomplished vn very & umch. doubt. v? ? is THERE WERE TWO Si Mr. Y. M. Hutchinson of Wilming- ov ton, Deleware, has a revival of m -m- or: ories about the days of h's childhood pi in old Newberry county upon reading ar a little reminiscence which I \vror.e ar a few issues back, and his thoughts a naturally turn -to those scenes, and wi no doubt his heart yearns and longs co to return to the old home, even if in only to pay homage to the trees and ai the rivers and the rivulets, and then of go iback to his new home in the far pu north. I I just want to tell him there were tr two Aull wheat mills in the county in se the days when he went to that one ca near Newberry, and that the one near to the town was operated by Captain th John P. Aull who was a brother and nc an older brother of the other Aull dr who owned and operated the mill near ot Prosperity and the one about which to I wrote, and the one where Mr. he Geo. P. Griffin worked. That one was pe Jacob Luther Aull who now lives in so Greenwood county not so far from m Ninety Six. The old mill house of pc Captain John Aull still stands. It ar was a brick house and is now owned ?C by Mrs. Rawl or Mrs. Boozer, I be- di lieve, but no longer used as a mill, m the roller mills taking the place of the al old burr stones of the days of which I Mr. Hutchinson speaks. The old co wooden building down at the old w: place owned by Luther Aull was ut burned a good many years ago. ar I am pleased that Mr. Hutchinson te enjoyed the reading: of that story ann^tu hat it revived pleasant memories c he days that are no more, and rould .be glad to have him come dow nd visit some of these scenes. I ai ure he would enjoy the trip. Xc lany of the boys would he find bi here are some of them still hale an igrorous and I know he would enjo visit to them. 2VIy friend Joh rooks down on Broad river would >b lad to see him. E. H. A. That was a fine snow but th mnnrl wcs too daniD and not froze nough for it to remain, and so th eautiful snow disappeared from th round almost as fast as it fell. An ie Dutch Weather prophet is happ ecause he had predicted this ver low at any time from the 19th to th 6th and it came along about hal ay. Now we would not care if h ould give us a little warmer we? ler.

The weather was bad and s< decided to go on the train and wi id not reach the state house unti >out 12:30, but found iboth branche session and arranged with Mr lease and Mr. KObler to meet then ist after the adjournment. Mr ounts was not present and Senato >hnstone who is president of the sen ,e in the absence of the lieutanan jvernor was presiding over the sen e, so we could meet with Mr. Bleas* id Mr. Kibler onlv. There was i le representation present, owing t< e bad weather. It was not the pur >se of the committee to do anything irther than let our representative, iow from the statements of th< ustees themselves of the various dis icts in question just the conditior the finances in these disricts, am at the trustees had made contract: 4-"Uy-? 4-a a/-tK -fr\ r* + VPfl T wVilC1} I til l/Iit?

The district; id complied with the conditions anc ey simply asked that appropriate r the common schools be made as re tested by the state superinendent cJ lucation. Messrs. Blease and Kib r gave us a patient and pleasan laring and I am sure the trustee.' bo went to Columbia enjoyed th< ip even though the weather was ,d and the snow came in the after I spent the night and came bac* t the early train Wednesday morn, g and was disappointed that then as no night session of the legislare, as I was anxious to look in or at body in action. I hope to gel .ck some time before the final daj adjournment, but I can not tell, snow came in the afternoon anc 11 thick and fast, but did not remair i the ground, and we could not dc ly snow balling. I reached hocne Wednesday orninff in conpsny -with Mr. J. ? saner w? drove over to VjHgjbnHe to locite the nerw ixxilding' tbafi to be tip in that district. i?r, Lmmer kindly consented to drive me er and help in locating the ibuilding t the beautifu! lot that we have irchased over that side. And we e going to put up a model school id community house and try to havt model school the coming sessior th all the community activities ir nnection with the school. With the ^urance and t'^e state and count} d and the cooperation of the peoplf the community we will be aOle tc it up the .building we desire. Anc might say need, and I want the paons cf other schools to go over anc e it when we get it completed, beuse I feel if they do we will be able build several more just, like it -ir p oountv where they are greatlj eded. I was talking: about it in the ug store of Gilder and Weeks the her evening: and showed the plar Dr. Weeks and he voluntarily saic 1 would <rive the library an encyclo dia and a Webster's dictionary as on as The building is completed. ] ention this simply to show that the 'ople who are alive, are interestec td willing: to help in the building oi lod community centers in the rura strict?, and in order to do so wt ust have the community building or.?r with the school -building, anc am sure a? soon as we get this on moleted there will be others whe il! esteem it a privilege to contrib e such things as books and plants ul flowers, because the plan con nmlates the planting of a mode nver yard or garden and trees aiK ;j JLi J 1 The Batt I in our store t 10 o'clock an l- !l Mon'c Wnmp IiTJLVH T V i ii mm. mm COME ON COME AL * I , ! r ' also to have an athletic ground and | 1 plavgiound for the smaller children.1.

William Courtwright is shown in one of :he character, roles for which his iame has become famous in screen :ircles.
