Santuc Wht>n the gathering crop-timed come "business'' keeps crowding on a fellow whom people call a clodboppe# or hayseed, and so much so ob this "scribe" that he has scarcely had time to even scribble. Hie rains put me back several days, too, and 1 have been so held down trying to cut and *hock my bottom corn ahead of the frost. The cold nights with graces of < f"ost, kept me scared, end I cut some too green. But then you know thai no real late com will dry out with-* out shriveling. I had six acres to one plow, with a quantity of stalks to the land, and a good little crop t made, too, and I am proud of it. But the good Lord did it. He made me to work mighty hard at it, until it grew, and then the frost stayed off, and 1 am very thankful. ' You see, none of us can do one thing ourselves. . The weather went to the other ex* tree (from the drought) and got wet, so wet that very little of small grain has been sown, and farmers were thrown back in the gathering of crops. I do not know what the boll weevils ' are doing for a square meal now, as S green boll now would appear as a stranger. If there had been reason, able weather in September there would have been a rank seqond growth of cotton, and a good pasture for weevils. Now as cotton gathering is being finished, it shows up very short. Ws made the plant, all right, but the boH weevils beat us to the fruit. I have heard of one small section as making the best crop they ever made. Well, the boll weevils are helping them, bjr taking every other section's cotton, and if shortage put up price those few will coin money, and we lose. The Presbytery met here at the Presbyterian church last Thursday, the 19th. Your correspondent was not able to attend that meeting btft the report is that it was a gqod meeting. There were some of the best addresses and, withal, the meeting was profitable from the several angle that these meetings work from or to. Mrs. M. L. Fairey of Orangeburg spent last week with relatives her*. Your correspondent enjoyed her visit very much, as it was at his home she visited. She bears the relationship of niece to him. W. D. Lancaster and Hayne Smith of the West Springs section attended services a the Baptist church here : last Sunday. We were glad to have | you gentlemen; come again. The community fair came and went 1 and I will try tc say something next i time. Some we wanted to see there 1 were not present. It was said to have been good. The four minute speakers appoint* ed to speak at the Baptist church here ' AtAvufer I&th, on the 75 Million Cam- " paign, Messrs. A. G. Kennedy and J. A. Crosby, were here as appointed. Mr. Crosby made a very short talk, only a few remarks, saying that he did not think Salem needed to be 1 talked to, as it was so near paid up 1 (both said this), but he said it was 1 well to get every one to give some. 1 thing. His remarks were well taken. ' Mr. Kennedy made a most excellent < U. I- - ? 4 vwu. MV ID a UIIIU OjnMIBVl f yw very impressive. He related the story ' of ) .ie widow sacrificing to feed ' Elisha, and that it was good to have 1 that spirit in the churches today. We enjoyed these services. With them ' were Mr. and Mrs. Crocker and Mr. 1 Crosby and Mrs. Crocker (who was (' Miss Annie Shirley) both of. MonAetna's choir, sank two duets and Mr. Crosby a solo, and this alone wae a treat. We are glad that they came F." down. Very few people were present. I am sorry that Santuc is showing up so badly of late. It may not impress strangers very favorably. Last Sunday (fourth Sunday) was the regular preaching day at the Baptist church here and Dr. Lee Davis Lodge of Limestone College preached. > There was a large congregation pres- 1 enl and was well pleased with the sermon. It was fine. This was the day appointed to ordain two additional deacons, R. E. Moss and L. B.

The day was a beautiful one, and though the services were Somewhat more lengthy than usual, the people did net. seem to get tired. I believe they would be delighted to hear Dr. Lodge-againHis stay here was too short.

The Lowly Peanut in frouble The |>eanttt war Ss gone into court, thanks to the Sherman act, according to The Nation's Business. If international unpleaaantagSBpa would follow the example of the improglso over peanuts and resort to the tribunal of justice, it would be a happier world. The affair of the peanuts has not been without its bitter feelings, and has not involved natters of small consequence. When peanuts come from the ground, they nead cleaning and shelling. In course oi time the growers have organized a cooperative association. The concerns making a bus. iness of cleaning sad shelling peanuts have formed a trade association. Between the two organizations there has been something of a feud. The growers alleged that the cleaners and shellers dtpressed prices, to the loss of the former and the gain of the latter. The growers even undertook to have their peanuts cleaned and shelled by a concern which was not in the membership of the trade association. A " ? - * * - a query utat dobb up in ttie mind of the casual observer is, where did the cleaners and shelters' association expect their members to get business when the growers had been reduced to bankruptcy, and twitched to some other crop like Bathrooms or chickens, upon which peandt machines can. not be profitably need, so far as yet known in these parts? In the peanut case, the grocers' organization takes the initiative. In Wisconsin, however, a milk-producers' cooperative marketing company has been summoned by state officials to show why it shoald not discontinue practices that are onfair. The practiea chiefly in qusptipn is a "service" ehasge exacted by. the association of dealers. The atiegation is that through this device members obtain a higher price tat their milk than fatness who are BOtaidc the association. .

KEl A^A A^A Survey's Motor Guide Shows Nation's Beauties Washington, Oct. 27.?Although it is not generally known that Uncle Sam is in the buide book business, one of the most interesting guides to motorist routes throughout the ' Golden West," is that recently published by the U. S- Geological Survey. The great variety of mountain scenery to be found in Colorado and the panoramas of the plateaus and deserts of Utah, i> the theme of the latest addition to the series which the Geological Survey has been publish, ing at intervals since 1915. Specifically, the route described follows that of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad from Denver to Salt Lake City. The guide book, which may be obtained at the department for one dollar, not only treats of the scenery, resources and the human activities of the region traversed, but explains tht forms of the mountain plains and canyons along the route, how they hav< been developed by the ancient terrestrial forces. It describes the rocl strata which undcrly the country anc which have controlled the forms ol the landscape. Many of the beds of these rocks are most interesting, foi they contain the remains of strang< animals, now extinct, that roamed th< country ages ago. The skeletons of great monstert have been unearthed in many placet olong the route, and even their tracks preserved in sandstone, have beer found. ' The rocks also contain the metal liferous ores that have made CoIorad< and Utah famous the world over ant have added untold millions of dollari to the country's wealth. The guide, book gives Interesting expositions 01 these rocks and precious minerals, de scribed by mineralogists and geolo gists. The history of the mining dis tricts passed along the route formi one of the most fascinating and ad venturous chapters in the country'i own history. The most interesting o: the old damps described is possibly Leadvilie> where great wealth in lead silver, gold and sine was produced.

I " r | . News and Courier. ^ I Congressman James F. Byrnes, who i f made a short speech at the annual < P meeting of the South Carolina Aspar- ' p r.gus Growers association in Ridge ] i Springs recently, said that this orp gahization was "the greatost forward i step in agriculture in the lower part < i ?of the state within his recollection." i i The Williston Way believes that in j , this judgment Mr. Byrnes is probably 1 i well within the mark; not because this; association has promoted good feeling 1 - among its members and not because > it to novr nearlng the million dollar I mark in the value of its annual outi put, but because "it is demonstrating . that cooperative marketing, properly f manager, is not only practicable but i . the only feasible thing for the farm- ( - er." It is only latterly that the aspara- , I gus growers have gotten their asso- ( - ciation on a sound basis., For a long 1 > time, says tbe Williston Way, it was , P an association in name only so far ua 7 the actual selling of the crop was , I, coitecnted. But about a year ago it , set up a real organization "and tor day," says the Way, "after having e sold its product through its own ap pointed representatives in the large hifrilir ,,4# r I 30 A.M. | CONSIGNED TO I ?n I Ml Y n riace i ) A NUMBER OF | ICATED ON THE | !S FROM UNION. | HOUSES, 2 BARNS, | f ID ORCHARD. | AND DATE I n Place | 30 A.M. | MS-"ALL STAR" ?

During the past season tt was statd by General Manager ,1 \V. .Tones, f Ridge Springs, 116 refrigerated ars of asparagus were shipped out y the association members and with xpress shipments nearly 60,000 rates of Dixie asparagus wen: to tinonsumer. Mr. Jones believe> that he South Carolina growers are goinv o secure a reduction in refrigeration harges, for which they have been ontending, and after a thorough sur ey of the markets he declares that te does not think the asparagus grow rs have anything to fear from in reased acreage if they will organize ind work together. One of the most, valuabi U ? ... he m? rnb? rs of the South vir ilji.a Vsparugus Growers a^soc,..,! has earned is in grading and packing heir crop. Chief Inspector \V. 11. iVooley stated at the recent annual neeting that fully two-thirds of tin nembers are now putting out prnctirally perfect asparagus and told of >ne grower who offered him a dollar if a single sprig of the wrong size rould be found in one of his packages. The inspector, much to his surprise, Tailed to earn the dollar. With such a spirit it is not surprising that the Williston Way should ionfidently predict that the asparagus industry in South Carolina is only in Its infancy and that it has a bright future before it. Improved Methods Increase Rice Production Tokio, Oct. 24.?While Japan does not produce sufficient rice for the needs of her people, who, even after sn elaborate banquet require a bowl or more of their staple food, production has kept pace with the increase of the population. In the early days nf the Meill mien wk?n Hi ?MV f?vpM?ntion was 36,000,000, there was 35,000,. D00 koku of rice produced. This year, with a population of 70,000,000, the crop is estimated at an equal number of ktku. The increase in production is due more to improved methods than greater actusge under cultivation. .JS'Ui LL. 1 It pays to advertise in The Timea. r
