South Almost Got West Point 0 (Special to The Charlotte Observer) Sumter, Dec. 8.?Comparatively few South Carolinians, *nd probably fewer Southerners, know that the great military academy of the United States, known as Westjfoint, missed being located in South Carolina by j only one vote. However., recent in- j vestigntions by Clerk of Court H. L. j Scarborough, following the finding of a deed fi-om Gen. Thomas Sum-! I ^er l>to Thomas Jefferson, president have shown such to be the fact. The deed conveys 500 acres of land from General Sumter to President Jefferson{ supposedly for purpose of the United- States, on the site of what is now Great Falls, one of the important power plants of the state, which was then a fort, or trading post. The deed is /dated in 1802 The compensation for the 500 acres of land was $200. After com-^ ing across the deed, Mr. Scar borough investigated and congressional records show that this site was one of the proposed sites for the United States Military academy, hut whep the vote came in congress West Point won by a majority of one vote. After the Revolutionary war, the statd of South Carolina- had no funds on handtfwith which to repay General Sumter for/his services during the war and in remuneration it gave him several large tracts of land. It? is supposed that the tract of Great Falls was one of" those given the Gamecock chief tan by the state. personal Mention XT8*.; and Mrs. f. V. Walsh and daughter, Mary Walsh, and Mrs. C.

CHARLES W. GODFREY, Administrator. ? Camden, S. C., Decn2tK, IR2P 3tp X Vj''X -t 11.1?w???? meg Cannery Must Know By January First January 1st has be<?n set as the date before which the farmers of Kershaw County must indicate what they intend to do in the way of planting beans and tomxtoea for the cannery contemplating moving to Camden. All farmers who intend te take this op portunity should indicate their inten tiou before that date either to H. p. Green, County Agent or te the Cham '? ' of Commerce office. As a result of the meeting: of the farmers held on last Saturday something over half of the total acreage required was subscribed. 300 acres more of beans and tomatoes will have to be promised before * the cannery will set up in Camden. Definite prices will not be set until after the canners association meeting in January but the officials of the cannery are guaranteeing that th<t_ prices to b?> paid will at least equal those paid last year by them, vis: j $15 per ton for tomatoes and $^5' per ton for beans. These prices compare very favorably with those .paid throughout the country and at' which farmers of other sections have been able to grow these product* profitably. Last year the average prices paid, throughout the United States was $13.98 per ton while the prices paid for beans in South Carolina last year averaged $45 per ton. The average yield of tomatoes throughout the United States last ycjn* was 3.8 tons per acre and in 1927 was 4.5 tons per acre. The average yield of beans per acre in South Carolina last ycur was 2.2 tops per acre which gave the farmers a gross income of $100 por acre. When it is realized that it is to the advantage of the cannery to have the farmers realize from their produce a good profit because otherwise they would not he willing to continue to plant for it, it is likewise realized that the minimum price named above will be raised before the signing of the contracts in January if possible. It is understood that such a raise is quite probable. Farm Flock Nets Her $4.29 Per Hen Mrs C. L. Wells, of Greenwood County, received $440.86, or $4.29 per hen from her 102 Rhode Island Red hens from November 1, 1928 to October -31, 1929, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. "Mrs. Wells kept complete cost account of all' transactions made in connection with her flock," explains Mr. Gooding. "Her hens averaged 144 eggs each during the year. Egg sales amounted to $473.27 and meat sales to $623.81, making a gross income of $1,097.08. The total expense was $664.85 of which $552.41 was spent for feed. This left a net income of- $440.86 for the year. "Mrs. Wells' feed cost per 100 ppunds was $3.90. She lost 6.$ birds out of each hundred during the year, which is a very low mortality." Kershaw County is developing her valuable (poultry enterprise. Let's study and apply the best known methods. Order chicks from reliable hatcheries. Let "Sanitation" be the watchword.

Query, chairman of the state tax commission, was quoted this week as say rMfs,,^rrpnn, Farmers Must Take To New Paths ? ? *he other day your county agent was talking to a man who U considering the development of a flock of chickens, In the course of the convernation, the man said, "Seem* odd my going into the raising of chicken*. 1 used to think it waa a womail's job and not worth the attention of a ?;cd-blooded man. To tell the truth, the only reason. I'm considering it, is because it pays better than growing the fteld crops I've ^al: ways hnd on> the farm.'1 That made me remember that the men have taken over tlpjpilking of cows, the churning of butter, and the making of cheese from the farmer'* wife who had done this work for ever so many years. The men learned that these things paid well. These thoughts made your county .agent ripe and ready for a thoughtful article by Dr. Gus W. Dypr in the December issue of the Southern Agrk ulturist. Your agent can not give it all here, but he is quoting a bit to interest the reader^ of this column enough for them to read the entire article: There is a big future for the veg- i atable business, the milk business, the poultry business, the fruit busi- I ness, the berry business, in the South, i Our climate and soil are wonderfully, adapted to production in this field,! and We will have little trouble in [ passing many competitors from the, outside if we will give the-time and i thought and energy to the production of the-e commodities that- we can j give, it' we really want to succeedJn this inviting field "No one can succeed in this field: of pro-Hi t ion that is largely new to i Souther-, farmers who is not willing tq use ills brain in solving the prob-1 lems that such production involves.! Ifc'is an interesting field of activity,! and any one of average intelligence ' can b< "ne efficient if he is willing ! 9 1 to pay the price in industry and! thought. Hut the work here can not be standardized and simplified as has been done in the production of the major, farm commodities "Such adjustments as here suggested for the present day farmer are made in every other successful business today. No business can follow the beaten paths now and succeed. Radical changes in demand are taking place in practically every sphere of business as never before, and success in any business depends on the intelligence and the industry displayed in following demand wherever it leads. The man who refuses to use his brain in adjusting his production. to the changing demands - must take his place with the brainless crowd, and be contented with the meager rewards that go to those who toil without intelligent direction." J. \. Creation of a state highway patrol will be sought again at the coming session of the general assembly, Attorney General John Mi Daniel, who has recommended the fclll, announced Tuesday. A similar measure, introduced at the last session, failed to pass. Under the recommendation of the bill the patrol would be operated with funds supplied by the state highway* department but the force . would be on a > non-political basis. The number of fatalities on state highways during the last year proves the need of such a patrol, the attorney general said, and expressed the opinion, that legislators'will at the ' next session look with favor on the measure.? .. ~ "Arnett Garlington came to his death from drinking four pints of corn whiskey within a short time," WAS the verdict of the -coroner's jury investigating the death of Garlington in Greenville Wednesday.
