After we hushed dinner, (cornbread, cabbuge, beets, and onions), Cousin Sam said let's ride around the burg some and I said all right get your car and he said I ain't got none, we'll use yourn, so everybody piled in my eight installment and off we took. Sam let it drop that he was the then Mayor of Hopeville and then I began to call him judge and it took nil?' showed me Hopeville'a 9 filling stations and her 2 smwl! grocery stores and the town well, but the bucket fell in the well last Pall, and it wasnt being used at present, and then >Sam made me drive around by the church, and I asked him how many churches they had and he said that-un, that's all," and I asked him what was its faith and order and he said unknown tongue. I got Sam to talking politics and he told me that he had had a tight race at the last municipal election; he got 9 votes and his opponent got the other 7, and 1 always believed after that if Sam had of voted for his opponent that they would of tied. Sam pointed out the 7 garages that Hopeville (possessed and he told me the school house was halfway betwixt Hopeville and Turkey Creek. I asked Sam if he took much interest in religion ana he said no and I asked him why and he said cause his letter was still in the old home church over the> river in Georgia and 1 suppose he kept his religion over there in the old home church. I picked it out of Sam that he was not only the M^yor, butme was policeman and 2 aldermen and Town Clerk as well. ^ I was struck with Sam's town. There were so few people there they had to get along well together, but Sam was mighty proud of Hopeville, and expects it to double in size in 10 years. Two., or three new filling station's may go up right away, Sam said, and mebbe another garage.

There is so much sunshine we must all have our share."?Myrtle Read. Prosperity of the farmers of : South Carolina, which is chiefly an l agricultural state, means good times | in all lines of business; the railroads I not excepted. This being the case, : the railroads are constantly striving ; to build phoBperity for all?for the railroad along with the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer, the I banker, the doctor, the lawyer and all ! the rest. But, whenever the farmer feels the pinch of poverty, everyone gets pinched, therefore, the struggle to award the good-times prise to th* farmer is well worth striving for. South Carolina farmers have made I tremendous strides in agricultural R reduction, but changed conditions ave made it difAcult for producers ; of staple crops to realize profits sufficient to support present standards of living and to keep the plow of prosperity in a furrow straight ami long, (n some years and at certuiu seasons the furrow is crooked and most uncertain. Having the prosperity of agriculture in mind, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company has joined forces with Clemson Agricultural College in financing the operation of a live stock development train "which has for its objective the rehabilitation of agriculture along lines of soil improvement, and more lasting soil fertility, with livestock. Live stock on the farms in South Carolina, we believe, will result in lessening the cost of production of crops by giving larger yields on smaller acreages, and, will, in addition, provide products such as milk, cream, calves, hogs, lambs, wool, poultry, eggs, and occasionally a milk cow or beef animal for sale, at frequent intervals, throughout the year. Income, larger and better distributed, is one of the great needs of South Carolina farmers?not for their benefit alone; but for the good of business generally. It has been said that "the sole purpose of a railroad is to transport freight and passengers with safety and reasonable dispatch." To the accomplishment of this purpose some of the brightest minds of the nation have divected their energies, and have frequently gone farafield from physical transportation in encouraging production and causing to be produced something to be transported. The railroads are devoting more and more attention to development matters, to highly specialized public service. They are seeking to increase the population of the country and to ! wisely bring into productiveness un' cultivated lands, to enlarge the outi put of established industries, and tP encourage new industrial development. In the early days ?f the .Atlantic, Coast Line, naval stores furnished a considerable part of the wealth of the j people. With the passing of this in; dustry the people were left greatly impoverished and the railroad without profitable tonnage. The men of vision in charge of the destines-of the Atlantic Coast Line system decided that soil and climate with which nature had endowed this section were adapted to growing strawberries and many kinds of vegetables. Therefore, in the late eighties and early nineties a specialist was employed by the railroad to promote the growing of strawberries, beans, cucumbers, lettuce, peas and potatoes. These same railroad officials helped to build the bright-leaf tobacco industry of the eastern Carolinas and the cabbage and potatoe industries of Virginia and the Carolinas and joined forces with other men encouraging fhrm-settlers from the West and North to settle in the South. Several successful colonies were established. Further continuing its long established policy of territory building, the men controlling the affairs of the Atlantic Coast .Line Railroad Company, believing the time has come when South Carolina agriculture must be changed to embrace live stock, in all its phases if we are to enioy a prosperous future, have joined forces with Clemson College and will operate a Live Stock Special Train in order to carry live stock ideas, information, and facts along its lines to farmers and others who should be interested.

Tht work of reclaiming the ! Everglades has i>een undw way for j a number oi years and in the secHon that was fuimer\y covered with water before reclamation there are now prosperous farming communities. The Supreme i ourt of Florida recent-j ly authorised a bond issue of $20,- i 000,000, which will be used to complete the drainage of the Everglades. Originally the only growth in the Everglades other than the trees on j the shore of the lake, was sawgrass. As water was withdrawn from the land the sawgras*. an aquatic growth, died out and other forms of vegetation took its place -maiden cane, ferns, fennel, wild millet, alders and willows. The principal muck soil section of Palm Beach county, that in the western part of the county cast and south of Lake Ocheeehobee, is in what is known as the Everglades. This land has been reclaimed by the digging of main canals, lateral canals, farm ditches and the installation of locks and spillways and other forms of water control. Vegetables are the chief crops in the upper Glades, and of the truck crops the largest acreages are in tomatoes. The ability toj produce tender vegetables in midwinter leads the farmers in the upper; Glades to plant large acreages in tomatoes, green beans, peppers, eggplant and potatoes as well as avacadoes. Farther back from Lake Ochee* i CL I I'LJJ.. 1 1 .11.-L-JK?iULL1 1 AM chobee it is usual to plant English peas and Irish potatoes in mid winter for early spring harvest. Although only about one per cent of tin* land is as yet under cultivation, it produces crops valued at $3,807,000 annually.
