Cook, Gaiivants Ferry, S C., has made quite a good showing as a fanner in Horry County when it is considered that he lives on a rented farm and has to pay rent while many other farmers operate their own land and do not pay anv ? rent. Cook moved* to the place where he now lives in 1917,,carrying nothing to the place except about one hundred bushels of corn; but since that time he has bought and : paid for two mules that cost him about $700.00, a two-horse wagon, one one-horse wagon, a buggy and harness and other farming tools with which ho is now working. He does not owe anybody any debt and is living entirely from his efforts on the. farm. o % BY WHOSE FAULT? Lately the night mail lias not been I distributed in the postoffice boxes in 'time for those who go to work early l ? and wane to got their mail before going on duty. The reason for this was the lack of lights in the postoffice. The room appears to be ; lighted in two ways one of which is , by electricity, the other by means of 'a gas light using mantle lamps. On two mornings of recent date there were no electric lights on and as the gas outfit appears to be out of order 1 in seme wav. there was no mail in ; the boxes rt the usual early hour. It ought to be easy to put the gar j lighting outfit in good order so that I this can be used when there are n? ! electric Igihts. o? SUPERINTENDENT SiCK Superintendent M. J.
