Friday, July 10, 10$!> The editor of thi* paper hoard a member of the grand jury pay a high compliment to Sheriff J. H. Mcl-eod, hie deputy and rural officers at the close of the recent term. He said that when cases were brought before them on almost any charge, the evidence was so clear against the defendants that nearly always true bills were fo^nd. And that, by the way, is the chief reason for so many pleas of guilty at most every session of court, iiis fair and honest dealing has won him friendi* among all cla&aes. The term of court just closed saw the first absence of Clerk of Court James H. iClyburn, caused by his recent severe illness. He has held this position for the past seventeen years and during all of this time with very few exceptions, Jim <Hyburn could be found in his office. His many friends throughout the county will be glad to learn that he is at home from the hospital gradually recuperating. The affairs of the eJ^iVs office have been well-cared for under the management of Miss Iiena Lineberger, his able assistant. Democrats in public life should all follow .Senator Pat Harrison's example and uphold President Hoovey in- his effort to stabilize wprld economic conditions and put business back on its feet, so long as they feel assured that the President is proceeding upon correct premises, and is playing fair. For the country to suddenly develop a boom and business to start up in full blast might, and no doubt would, throw a monkeyWrench into Democratic campaign plans, but we believe would meet with general welcome, unless, perhaps, from a few Presidential possibilities hero and yonder.?Chester Reporter. Life of a Town "No business in uny town should allow a newspaper published in his town to go without his name and business being mentionad somewhere in its columns.

H. Bailey, Jr., in Bouthem Cultivator) Recently the writer, accompanied by J. E. Brooke, president of the Bank of Camilla, Ga? took dinner with J. T. Gray, who live# seven miles south of end is a farmer who liven at h^me and staya at the. saqie place. W^,,were ushered inte the dining room, where wo, found enough food to have fed 20 people. This was no surprise to us, aa we had dined with our old friend befwfy but Jthe articles of food were move than a revelation, being composed of home products, such as okra, boet^, peas, beans, corn, potatoear -froiled meat, fried hum, fried chicken? milk and butter, besides several kinds of home preserves. We forgot to mention some of the best coriitbread this writer has had for many a day. After dinner we wepttf>n a kotir of inspection of the fapm,..(JWe found eight acres of tobacco averaging ftve feet tall with leaves large enough for saddle blankets. Spanish peanuts were meeting in 18-inch rows. Cotton about knee high and so heavily fruited that the stalk could hardly hold it up. His corn was in full silk and I counted as many as six shoots to the stalk. There was an acre' of cane for syrup. From this acre Mr. Gray produces about ten barrels of the best syrup that we have ever had the privilege of tasting. An acre of sorghum in full head is about ready for the live stock and ^o^keeo the milk flowing. Fou? sweet potatoes will furnish all family needs and fatten several liQgfh. Mrs. Gray looks after the orchard^ and we found peaches, pears, pecans, plums and grapes ull doing nicely with a promise of an abundant^#eld.f Mrs. Gray had 100 frying size chick-s ens in this orchard which were just about ready for market. Mr. Gray took us to his smokehouse which we found filled with meat, lard, sausage and all kinds of canned edibles. His cornorip is filled with enough corn and hay to run the place another year if this crop were a complete failure. When ksaed why he did not seU some of his corn and meat, Mr. Gray replied that he tried to stay one year ahead of his business rather than let the business get one year ahead of him. There is a fine herd of Jersey cowts on this place which were developed from ordinary stock by the use of a purebred sire. Hogs are plentiful, I as is always the case where there is an abundance of feed. -Mr. Gray ? has graduated all his older children from high school and] has two daughters teaching. Our trip would convince anyone that all the relief the farmer needs c&ATie had by the mixing of .bfaw^amd 'M*-1 telligence and making a heavy application to the soil. What Mi^. Gray has done others can do.. A way n n in Iowa, over 1,000 miles northwest of here, there has been heavy mortality among farm.hor&o?. because of the hot spell. In Scoffc county 16 horses died in one week. In an adjoining county in the northern part of the state, 26 horses over seven tons of hogs died in a few days, ten horses in one day. A-' . cross the state, 200 miles from these fatalities, over fifty horses died iromi sunstroke in less than a week, and' in other places similar deaths among horses worked on farms occurred. There are no mules there. Also, in the Iowa state house, the mortar between floor tiles swelled in the heat until the tiles buckled with explosive force and flew all over the place, narrowly missing the state treasurer.
