Asked to tell the aecrete of hoyr He
, managed, even In bad year*, to ipik?
ateady progress, a successful
farmer ??id: "I don't know that the'*
ia any secret about It, except t^ai,*.
keep busy. My idea I* that tOo many
farmers waste valuable e*~
pecially in winter, when there arcno
tcrops to be tended. Instead of
loafing between seasons, I try to do
something every day, even in bad
weather, to improve my home or farm
buildings. 1 keep a little lumber,
some nails, some paint and a few
tools on hand and make It a point to
make little Improvements and. repairs
during the winter season, either
indoors or out. ' I build cinder paths,
fix, fences, look after my machinery,
clean up rubbish and do a lot of
things like that, which helps the looks
of the place and saves me money in
the long run. Then when the busy
season comes in the spring, I can devote
all of my attention to putting in
und tending my. crops. A farrier
cannot afford to loaf too much, even
in winter." This farmer is in only
a, moderate circumstances, but he has a
comfortable home, with many conveniences
not usually found on a
small farm. He takes care of his
machinery, houses his stock properly,
keeps his yard, barnyard and orchard
in good shape and sees that nothing
goes to waste. If his example were
followed by all farmers, there Is no
doubt but that they would profit by
it, both in satisfaction and in money
returns.?Fort Mill Times.
A few years ago Breathitt county,
Kentucky, was famous throughout
the land for the feud that divided almost
the entire population into two
armed camps and claimed * u new
victim every few days. Pitched battles
in which numbers were engaged
/ on both sides, duels between two
belligerents of the opposite factions,
murders from ambush?-all of thes*
went to make up Breathitt county s
bloody record. It was one of those
mountain feuds that dated babk for
many years, and which probably grew
out of some trifling incident as many
of the feuds did among the primitive
mountain folk*; but before churches
and schools penetrated into the mountain
fastnesses and began to play
the part they do today in the lives
of backward folks scores, and, perhaps,
hundreds of human victims had
been offered up as a sacrifice to? the
hatred and bitterness that ran riot in
- - the hearts of the mountain people.
Now down in Dorchester county, as
the result of factional politics, a
parallel condition seems to be faat
coming about. A deputy sheriff, described
as a brave and conscientious
officer, has been shot down by a
member of the oppoaing faction, who
fired from cover and gave the dead
man absolutely no.chance; dirty, obscene
letters f\av^.jb^ST'Se111 prominent
leaders of thejJCat.' L. faction;
threats to kill have been made openly
and publicly. It seems like a nightmare
to think that such a situation
could exist in South -tiarolinn, yet it
does, over factional politics, and unless
authorities intervene and take a
hand, South Carolina may soon have
her Breathitt county? Chester Reporter.
22,207 schools children are transported
daily to and from schools in
S(mth Carolina by buses. At least
this was the number according to
figures of James H. Hope, state superintendent
of education for _the
years 1927-1928. Charleston county
leads in number of buses. Several
of the counties did not report. No
figures are shown in the state compilation
from Marlboro county. York
county leads in number of childran
carried and Darlington county is
second in number of children transported.
Darlington with only 26
buses shows the largest number of
passengers far the number of vehicles
used, viz., 1112. York used 41
vehicles to transport 1232 childran
ami Charleston employed 48 vehicles
to carry 1101. Charleston's expense
was the heaviest viz., $119,473. York
paid $19,902 and Darlington's expenditure
was $19,0-45.
