Not so now. The fartner today is living on a cash ba sis and the progressive farmer has a money crop coming in at all sea sons. , He has recently gathered and sold his bean crop, he is now har vesting and marketing his Irish pota to crop, in a few weeks more he will be selling tobacco, followed by cot ton' and hogs. Money is coming his way all the time. He has shaken off jbe shackles of the one crop and lein system that bound him in abso lutb slavery and abject poverty for so long. He has not only added ma terially to his own independence but to the independence and prosperity of this entire section. * TODAY'S EVENTS. - 4 4.4 4 4 4 ♦ 4.4 4.4 4 4 4 4 4 4 St. Vincent’s Academy, one of the pioneer Catholic educational insti tutes in Kentucky, celebrates its cen tennial today.

Tve been asked,’’ said Billy Bugler, the Boston Bull dog, “to tell you about the ride I had the other day. In the automobile. “I don’t know why I should speak of It as the nutombile, for of course there are other automobiles In the world, though that day I hardly felt as though there were. It Just seemed as If we were In the only automobile and as though I were the only lucky dog tn the world. Of course I .know that Isn’t so. “How we dogs do like an automobile ride. My missy used to own a little one and we used to ride about all the time, but she hasn't had one lately, though wltlilu the last week or so I’ve heard a good deal of automobile talk going on in our house and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised If B!l|^ Bugler own ed an automobile before long. Of course It really wouldn't be mine, but It would be almost the same. “My missy and I share efbrythlng together. And I’ve heard talk about which sorts of horns were the best, or which horn made the loudest and at the same time the most pleasant noise of all. “It strikes me that when they begin to talk of horns there must be some thing goln^to happen in the way of getting an automobile. Now I heard them speak of which engine was bet ter than another and of which make required least repairs. Repairs, you know, are things being mended. Auto mobiles have to be mended just like ladies’ dresses and little dog's jackets and blankets. “And there was talk about which one went more smoothly than anoth er. But I was going to tell of the ride I had the other day. I sat up In the front seat very proud nn<f feeling very tine. I sniffed the air and thought It was delicious air. One goes through the air in such a fascinating way in an automobile. One just sniffs in lots of It—wind and little breezes and all. “Even if one sniffs in a little of the gasoline which helps to run the auto mobile—or whatever it does do—It has V SWEET,POTATO CONFERENCE When asked today what he thought of.

Clemson College, June 10—Appre ciating the fact that the sweet po tato" will 'play an important part in th^ agriculture of South Carolina in •neeting boll weevil conditions, says W. W. Long, Director, the Extension service of Clemson College and the United States Department of Agri culture have thought it wise to call the growers, storage house owners, and other interested parties to meet In Columb'a on June 2fl at the offices of' the South Carolina Development Board, Liberty- Bank building, at 12 Vclock. The following problems are o be discussed. .he proper harvesting, grading and packing of- the sweet potato crop 2, TJie proper 'storing and curing •>f the crop. Arrangements for marketing tjhe 1920.crop and for securing and listrlbution of disease-free seed of standard varieties for the crop of 1921. When It is understood that thin rheeflrig Is for the purpose of making the sweet potato crop one of great ‘ommerclal value to the people of >ur state, Us importance must 1m press itself upon all. South Carolina s going to make a success of sweet potato growing, it is absolutely nec essary that all these problems be sol ved and the industry placed on firm foundation. This can be. done brtly by perfecting a working organ! ration. Otherwise, there may be se rious loss growing out of the fact that a great majority of the people are ignorabt of the handling of po tatoes through storage warehouses Let m> beg of you not to fail to come tnd attend Jhls meeting. Mr. Tenney of the North American Fruit Exchange, who has handled so mccessfully for the last live years he asparagus drop of the South Card Ijna Asparagus Growers’ Association wlVl be present and will discuss the subject of marketing sweet potatoes The North American Fruit Exchange has 120 sales offices throughout the United States and is one of the most reliable concerns in the country.

In fact, I like it. “I know when I've been riding In an automobile we’ve stopped for gasoline. Fve always been glad of that, for that has meant that we were going on rid ing and we wouldn’t stop In a hurry. ‘On this ride of Ihe other day I sat np and looked^about me nnd my missy talked to me, too. “ ‘Billy Bugler,’ she said, ‘do you see kitten? I pricked up my ears, and there, true enough war. a kitten walk ing along the side of the road.' “Then she said, ‘Billy Bugler, do you see a bossy cow?’ And I looked and there was a bossty cow. “ ‘Billy Bugler.’ she said, after a moment, ‘do you see a little chicken?’ “I looked where she pointed nnd I put up my ears to let her know I hfld beard and to let her know too, I had Seen what she was pointing out to me. “ ‘Billy Bugler.’ she said, ‘do you see another little dog?’ And true enough I did. “Oh, It was a fine ride, simply fine. And It was so nice to have one's missy point out all the things of Interest to see along the road. “Yon know how folks will talk to each other about the scenery and, such things. They will say, ‘My dear, do look at that old-fa»hioned rosebush Isn't It glorious?’ “Bpt my missy knows just what Is the sort of talk I like to bear. I love to see the animals In the fields nnd along the roads and the little birds on the telegraph wires. It Is great fnu to see the sights when riding! And It makes n dog feel of a good deal of Im portanee, too, when someone talks to him like that and speaks of the things that will iqterest a dog most. “And,” endtd Billy Bugler, “this is almost a never-failing rule— “fhe more you love your little’ dog the more he will love you!” I FLORENCE DAILY TIMES ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦> <♦ ♦> <♦ *> ♦> * ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦♦♦ i V #. • * ff-t i : j ' v« .St* ■ Right off the bat!
