Sumter Tour
Sumter county had a memorable
farm tour back in the summer. It
was a • Better Farm Living Tour.”
Over 300 folks joined County Agent
Bowen and those who made the
rounds to their four families who re
ceived Clemson’s “Better Farm Liv-
*ng” awards for the year. Those
were the families of W. T. Atkin
son, J. M. Edens, John Pate and Ed
Gulledge. On each of these farms
they saw improved farm and home
practices on every side. I was coun^
ty agent there a long time and know
those folks intimately. They are
masters of the art of bearing down
on the land and- making it fruit with
'’he satisfaction of good living. And
all of them have built what they
nave. They dug it out of the ground.

Boys Are That Way
The first woman tether we had
at oiir old one-room school away
back in the Stone Hills was when I
was about 8 and had been in school ’
2 years. I thought she was the pret-!
tiest and nicest thing I had ever 1
seen. Her gentle nature was dif-j
ferent to' the stern, rod-wielding
men we had before that it stood out
like pleasant sunshine. '
She boarded near our house, so |
walked our path home. I was a bit:
bashful, but used to walk along near;
her a lot. She was friendly, and!
would talk and laugh with us. Shei
was the first teacher the older stu
dents cocld remember that they
were not afraid of. And she had no
problems of discipline, for we liked
her.
One day, late in the school year,
I was walking with her, and the
other kids had fallen behind. Her
slipper string became untied. Hav
ing an arm full of books and papers
she put her foot on a rock and asked
me to tie it (or her!

to do bits of shopping. Friends}
1 thought them reckless to let, a coun- j
i try kid go to the city alone. I would j
, often take my bicycle along in the
baggage car so I could ride on the
few blocks of paved street that Co
lumbia had. And, man, that was
a thrill, after coming from rough
I and rocky hills of the Fork.
I had a regular routine. I’d get :
me the best hamburger I ever ate;
after I got there and had climb
ed up Gervais street hill to Main
street. The stand was in a vacant
lot there beyond where the Wade
I Hampton hotel now stands. It cost
a nickel. Then I did my shopping
and dropped by Nick Xepappa’s
fruit stand, up Main street there
and got a vanilla milkshak^for an
other nickel. Those two 1 nickels
took the dime they gave me for my
dinner.
By mid-afternoon I was through
and the train did not leave until 5
■ there at the foot of Gervais street
I near the river. After riding my bike
all I wanted to on those few- paved
blocks, I would drift down on As
sembly street for an hour or so for
entertainment. I won’t hive space
in this column to ell you all about
that; so I will hold that until next
week.
