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. The man who
does not advertise his business does
an injustice to himself and the town.
The life of a town depends upon the
live, wide-awake and liberal advertising
business man," ? American
Banker's Magazine.
Good News
One of the large flour mills of
Anderson is being "swamped" with
wheat and other grain for milling,
according to news stories from that
city. The ^>lant has received for
milling during the past ten days approximately
3,500 bushels of wheat,
an average ol 350 bushels?a?day.
This is a good sign of the times and
produced in the upcountry this season
is being converted fnto bread, the
staff of life. It also indicates the
unusually heavy grain yield this
year compared with former times.
People may not have as much money
to spend on luxuries and extravagances

going to starve; there is going to be
plenty of bread from grain grown
hereabouts.?Spartanburg Journal.

Georgia Farmer Who
Plans Own Relief
(By J. 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.
