Mob Hh Mb* Kbmarkable K?wd on Form If a family, the father and mother of which are both totally blind, can make a good living on a North Oarolina farm, why ahould those seeing find cau?e to complain? Mr. and Mr*. W. L. Hushing, of Unionville, Route No. 2, both of whom have been blind since childhood, auy that by diversification, growing home sup* plies and finding profitable employment during the leisure seasons on the farm, they are able to have plenty and live well. They have reared a family of four boys. The oldest is now 18. He is now following the trade taught him by bis blind father on the Hushing farm, and is receiving u good salary as a mattress maker in a Charlotte plant. The three younger boys, who are yet small, are with their parents. This year Mr. Hushing produced four hales of cotton, plenty of grain to supply his farm, meat for his table, and excelled in the quality, quantity and variety of vegetable! grown in his garden. He keeps cattle for his milk supply, has a flock of 140 hens, and on the whole is practicing the program laid out for Carolina farmers to follow as a mt-pns of overcoming the cotton situation. In the Hushing homd ark; books, musical instruments, and a radio of the best make. Mr. Hushing keeps an automobile for riding, and he and his wife e if joy the highways seemingly more than those who are blessed with seeing. For hauling about the farm and to go to market he does not depend op the horse. He gets in a hurry as well as other business men, and keeps a truck as a time saver. The blind farmer states that he and his wife enjoy immensely the musical f programs and lectures which come in over the radio each night, and that he sometimes fears that they take too much valuable time to listen in. He is generous in his praise of this instrument as a means of bringing about better farming, and says that two lectures heard recently, one on feeding dairy cattle and one on feeding and care of poultry, will be worth to him more than'the cost of his machine. He is a scientific feeder. ami delights in learning of new discoveries in agriculture. This accounts largely for his success. His fio.-k of hens are among the best pr.du.ers in his county. Since her marriage Mrs. Hushing has done her own house work, cooking and laundering. Neighbors say that she is as near perfect in the performance of these duties as it is possible to be, and that the Rushing home alwnys presents a clean, neat appearance. It is hard to understand how these people farm. Certain ta-ks, *ueh plowing, preparing fuel. ? ;< ., they hired others l.? do before their children were large enough to assist them. Hut feeding animals, gathering Vegetables, picking cotton tint! similar duties seem as easy for t'nesblind people as it is for those who can see. 1 hey hoed their crops and garden to keep them d an before their boys were large em.ugh to plo.v, and at using the hue they exorcised great skill.

It is rare that he does not have from two to three nu n from this department of the government, who are Meased wuh sight, studying under the blind the trade at which they hon to make a livelihood. Hock Hill (Mti/.en Dies Uran St?dnmn S- , op, known as one of Ruck Hill's m wt successful business men and holder of large tarming interests, died early Saturday morning. Death occurred shortly after 4 a.m., in a hospital air Rutherford ton, N. O:, where he had been under treatment for several weeks when he suffered an attack of appcndicitis. He had apparently rallied after an operation, but his condition took a turn for the worse aiu| hope for his recovery was virtually abandoned. * - : - Bright WiUUmm titmd Darlington Fab. 6.?Bright Williamson, one of the beat known agricultural leaders of South * Carolina, died suddenly at his home here today.
