Jones Home in Lancaster for Hospi tal StH Although no confirmation has been made directly by the parties who are interested' in the transaction it has been learned from an authoritative source that the home of the late Charles I). Jones has been purchased by Dr. A. F. Mahoney of Mor.roe, who will use the property for a hospital. As this transaction involved a trade of the building formerly used by the Farmers Rank & Trust Co., the household furniture of Mrs. Jones is being moved today to the bank. With spacious grounds surrounding the Jones home the concensus is that this is a very appropriate site for a hospital and th0 business interests of the town warmly welcome Dr. Ma honey here in his venture. For some time a hospital tyas been considered one of the needs of tbis city ami for that reason the people of Lancaster are very much pleased with the selection of Lancaster as tho site for a hospital. Some time a/i'> a deal was made for the purchase of the hank build ing by Dr. Mahoney but when he learned that Mrs. Jones had left Lan caster to make her home in Concord, N. C. he Immediately took steps to purchase that premises. As to the time of the opening of the hospital nothing official could be learned to day hut It is believed that it will be reRdy In the near future. ? Lancaster New*. LIBERTY niLL HAPPEN- \ ?

'24. (AP). General | endorsement of the plnn to erect a memorial on the eapitol grounds to the late Senator Benjamin Tillm&n is noted in messages received by Gover nor John G. Richards. Chairman of committees in charge ( of raising funds for the cause have ^ advised Governor Richards that they , are ?-Jad to aid in the work. A chairman from one of the- coun ties in the lower part of the state wrote: "Our people have been very hard hit th'is year. However, I know that they will do what they can in memory of one who served the neo ple so ably as Senator Tillman did." | A Piedmont county chairman wro'e: "I congratulate you on this movement that you h Jve started an am sure the t>eople of South Carolina recognize the fact that the erection of a memorial to the late Senator Tillman will bp merely a smal nition of his great service t state."

PARMER Look Yourself Square in the Face, and Ask Yourself If You, Too, Can't Make Good. There is still hope for the farmer* of this county. Many of them arc ! complaining1 about the short crop of cotton they are making, and very lit tle else, but the hof?, hen and cow [programme is being gotten into shape, and next year there is going tj be a different feeling, at least among some of the farmers. Even now a ray of hope shines forth, for example: C. V. Galloway, of the Antioch sec tion and a member of the Antioch A gricultural club, several weeks ago had stored in one of his barns 5,000 'pounds of cowpeas which he had pick ed this fall and expected to aid at least one or two thousand pounds more. He has on hand six tons of hay and fodder from his last year' crop which was left over, and this year's crop is to be added. Then h' has a half dozen fine Hampshire hogs which will give him and his familv his meat supply for the cominp year. Bf course the farmer can live at home if he will. But listen to this: Mr. D. L. Sow ell, of the Beulah section about six miles south of Camden, is a good farmer, but is among those v. ho are making a short crop of cotton, but he and his sister, Miss Ethel Sowell, j gave some attention to the raising of i turkeys. They have something over 200, possibly 250. And in the lan | guagc. of the street boy, what we I mean to say they are turkeys. He J let one of his friends have an 1R ( pound turkey recently, and he can easily match that weight with poss ibly upwards of a hundred more. At an average price of $4.00 per head, see how the figures look! Eight hundred dollars. The jientleman whose "name w?*s in the papers" re cently who bought 30 young turkeys and raised twenty-five did well, but ho does not match Mr. Sowell and his sister. Mr. Boll Weevil does not "fool with" turkeys. The farmers have something else to look cheerful over. The Camden Ice Company, which does an extensive ice and coal business, and also has been engaged in the cold storage bus iness, are going to do like the "blue hen," just spread out. They announce that on November 1st they will be prepared to supply the markets of Camden vicinity with properly aged, Kershaw county raised, beef 'of the highest quality, making it unnecess ary to have beef shipped here from other places, and this is expected to give an impetus to the raising of cat tle and hogs on a more extensive scale in Kershaw county, and this county's wide-awake county agent lias a habit of getting right behind eveiy thing that will help the farmers. But very little attention has been given cattle and hog raising in this county for the past few years, but the farm | ers have reached the point that if they wish to continue on their farms they will of necessity have to turn tn something else besides cotton. The all-cotton farmer' is doomed, but the | wise farmer can see the proverbial "day light" when he casts his eyes to dairying, poultry raising, and the hog and cow. When they come to the Kershaw county fair they are going to see many products of the farm that some of them hardly thought it possible to have. FIGHT EACH OTHER, THEN FOK LIVES 'I'. I*.

The friends of Miss Mary Sparrow will regret to learn of her sudden illness caused by a nervous breakdown. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sparrow of Cam den were called by wire.

FARMERS* SEED PLOTS One of the best suggestions I have received in a long time came from a Kershaw County Banker a few days ago when he asked me to encourage our farmers to have definite plots for the production of seed planting use the following year. This would be one of the best practices a farmer could follow. So often we have to buy oat, wheat, rye, and other seeds. Money is usually scarce. Seeds are often high-priced and scarce. But if we had our seed <5ats, seed rye, seed wheat, seed corn, cotton seed, etc. ready, waiting and paid for we would certainly plant more of these valuable and necessary crops. If a farmer would set aside three aeres for seed oats for instance got good seed from Coker or some other reliable seed house, use these in vhe special plot and fertilize this plot highly, he would have fine seed for next year for himself and maybe r few to sell. Indications are that quite a good acreage of wheat will be sown in Kershaw County this year and a much larger acreans of small grains in gen eral than is customary. Let's sow more grains. Make plenty of food for our families and feed for the live stock. Let's follow Mr. Yates' vvise suggestion and really employ this, method of producing our own seed. It will pay us. It is very gratifying to note the sincere interest that all of our bank ers are taking in Kershaw's most im portant enterprise ? agriculture. Co operation is surely taking hold. A ifw agriculture is ahead and pros pects are nood. Respectfully. HENRY I). GREEN. County Agent. Lancaster Wins Several Prizes at State Fair Lancaster county carried off its share of the honors in the Jersey cat tle exhibits at the State Fair on Wednesday notwithstanding the fact that the competition was keener than ever before in the history ofthe fair. From outside the state were some of the best herds ir. the south but Lan caster county took first place in the herd prize for Jersey Bulls of two years old and under three and third prize for junior yearling bulls. Bo sides these prizes individual prizes were won by Zola Starnes and Mar ion Bridges. Zola Starnes won third prize in the Jersey calf club exhibit and Marion Bridges won sixth prize in the junior yearling exhibit. In all eleven head of Lancaster county cattle were shown at the fair.

KERSHAW COUNTY TO PRO DUCE OWN MEAT Cooperation Between Farmers and Business Men Paves Way for New Industry lLere Agriculture in Kershaw County re cently took a big forward step when beef produced in Kershaw County, on Kershaw County pastuers and feeds, by Kershaw County farmers was but chered and dressed in Kershaw Coun ty and refrigerated in the big. cold storage ice plant in Camden and handled by a Camden meat market and was bought and eaten by citizens of Camden and Kershaw County. One of the important points in this trans action is the fact that the money spent for these beef cuts is still in Kershaw County, Not a penny of it has gone from this community or state to states which have been sell ing to us most of our meats. T^iis matter is all the more signifi cant! when we consider that we have a fine country hei\> wonderfully a dapted to livestock production. We have certain definite advantage.; over our sister states which are findinr. livestock production <o profitable ev en under their con li' ions. For in stance, we enjoy a long growing sea son. Our winters are mild and rath er short which enables us to keep our livestock on open pastures a greater part of the year than sections which have colder and longer winters. Miid winters also do not require su h ' ight and expensive barns as more se ven' clima'es. Kershaw County is .'lose to the great consuming centers of population in the Eastern United States. Above all other consider,'!! ions Krr 'haw County should be self-sustain ing and produce all of th >-e Tops which can be economically produced here. Camden and Kershaw C uirty i are annually sending out to, o'.her * tat es hundreds of thousands of dol 'ars for foo is that We c.\n oiwiucc right here at home and at a profit. We need something, to supplement our cotton crop. Cotton alone means disaster. We need a balance .! "a:- n iiig and the production of cur own meats should not be a secondary >n sideration. Fewer acres of cotton well fertilized and looked after will bring us more net profit than skim ming over too large an acreage. Then too livestock will help us make hot ter and more profitable crops bv en riching our soils. Le'.'s get down to business with our agriculture. Let's apply this great md noble teaching of Eive-At-Home not only to our individual farm" and homes but, also to our county and the great state of South Carolina. How ever, before we buy too many 'ows, jhorv, sheep, etc. leVs start producing [home-grown feeds in ahurd"-v<>. ",Vo need to produce feeds, grain and hay with emphasis on legume hays. And [by all means, start a permanent pas ture. If anyone says they .-a n't nro duce pastures on the soils of Ker-h iw County I would like to huv the op portunity to carry tha' person to the Sand Hill Experiment Station at Pon tine between Camden and Columbia. To the farmers of Kershaw Count v I would say: Produce more and bet ter foodstuffs. Tothe consumer of Kershaw County I would say: Patron ize this home industry. liny our far mers' products. This sort of cooper ation means "Farm Relief". This same thought applies to South Car olina a! large as it applies io Ker shaw County. We have the land, climate, potential pastures and feeds. .We have a w.?it ns* market rigir here. We have a fine old storage plant, in Cam irn. Our locally-grown men's and foads, vegetables. eg".:, butler, etc. are )u t. as good as can he bought .any where. In starting to prr luce I >cf I w ,u!d advise our farmer: to observe the one great, caution hoi I down unnecess ary overhead expenses. .Mai,--. ,i ? pas'. ure. Fence it and sow it to pio per grasses an I lovers, liny '- ie good beef type bull then buy-up na tive heifers and in a few years a good beef herd can he built up. P,(. sure to produce your own feed for cattle, Consult your banker. Respectfully submitted, HENRY I). OREEN, County Agent.
