In the beginning I wish to ask to he
excused by the readers for not explaining
the condition and circumstance
of things in this section in regard
to the crops being ruined by
vain which we have been having for
the last throe months.
f !
For the last week I have heard
>re talk .ffmong the lavmers in 1 errid
to th?ir condition. Several
V;'iners and practically all of them
re up against it this year in this
rection around (iur|?.y and in school
1'i trie! number twenty-five.
The rains nave ruined their crops
; ? d the tobacco which they are now
tcidy tr? m.arke-, and at home, together,
will i?i?t amount to an: th?? e,
in ("act some ;'armer>: planted tobacco
a'.d tl?o rail./ inner! it absolutely, for
instance 1 will mention a few farmers
^ who are losing this time: Mr. W. R.
Tyler planted in the sprint? about
twelve 'tores of tobacco which 'helonged
to himself and hoys, out of fhis
crop of tobacco they lost about eight
jx res by the rains, worth absolutely
nothing, and the balance of the crop
is worthless.
Mr. T\ !cr also had planted six acres
of wax bea?>s and eight acres of lima
beans which were ruined by the rains
also.
Sasser Co., Inc., in the spring had
twelve acres of cabbage which they
were compelled tu cut up owing to
ti e market condition and could not sell
hem and realize expenses justifying
shipment.
Sasser Co., Inc., had twelve acres of
garden poar from which they did not
realize anything, also they had three
teres of Irish potatoes to rot in the
ground, owing to the rains. They also
had eight acres of cantaloupes to
?? ?? to the bad, could not get in field]
to work them, therefore they have
eight ncres of fine hay coming on. |
Practically all the farmers in this
sf ction ami in this district are up
against it, some of them will not
make enough to pay expenses of
working- crops.
I have heard the following farmers
say that thev are up against it:
W. R. Tvier, F. G. Prince, J. M.
and J. C. Dorsey, S. D. Collins, II. H.
Anderson. J. W. Sa. ser, Jr. This is
only a few which 1 have referred to
nnd the balance of the farmers are in
the sv^mc row with the one referred to.
In this section about two-thirds of
the farmers .are members of the Cooperat
ive A.sociation.
The market will soon open and I
hope they will receive good money on
their tobacco through this organization
which I believe is a good thing

Wishing the farmers good returns
on their tobacco this time but under
the circumstances owing to rains they
will not receive anything worth while
owing to the fact they have not got

STl'DY TRUIT GROWING.
Clemson College, July 29.?Half a
hundred farmers from Anderson,
Greenville, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens,
Spartanburg and York spent Thursday
and Friday, July 27 and 28, on an observation
visit to the north Georgia
fruit Section around Cornelia and
feathered information which is sure to
be of great value in the promotion of
fruit growing in the Piedmont section
of this state. They saw orchards big
and little, young: and old, successful
and unsuccessful, and were impressed
with the fact that while it takes nerve,
oaey, and experience to win in the
fruit growing game, there is money
in ii ("or the man who wins.

ROAD SECTIONS
NEED WATCHING
There are two sections of the road
to Myrtle Beach which need constant
attention for a time until a permanent
hard roadbed has been provided.
One is the sections of I'll Is between
Conway and the Rod Hill. Prompt
work saved the embankment near the
Red Hill from destruction last week
following a heavy rain.
The other section is between Stalvey
and Myrtle Beach, r.ot far from
the farm of P. J. Kikes. At places
along there ruts are formed quickly
because the soil gets soft with the
rain and does not si'cm to have the
cl.wy foundation that would make it
right.
The Jordan Music Company of Mnllins,
South Carolina, h;s a <li play advertisement

REPLY TO RUFUS
JENRETTE'S LETTER
First our friend Jenretto said Maple
Literary society was the best thing
over established in this community.
1 think that our religious meet
ings the best, as this society was instituted
!>y the people and religion by
vJod which is the greatest.
And the reason this society is being
fought is because of so many frivolous
jokes that are being spit out
there among the people and they are
not worth the time it takes to tell
them.
And not only the jokes but I think
that if tho nice and intelligent men
who are the Editors of our papers
would stop so much uncalled for bosh
about the society being printed that
some folks would like the papers better
and I am sine they would like the
society better.
/\n<i as ior the jokes 111 tne society
I am the man who put in the amendment
against thorn and hope that God
Almighty will bless me to fight the
authorizing of lies what time here I
live.
And I an. gVid that tlie Pastor who
whs referred to is a man with enough
of Jesus Christ about him to speak
against such hellish stuff as making
'ies, th:ink Ciort for him, may he
speak again.
\ nd a?5 for being tender hearted I
am glad I am, how would you like
to live in this county if no tender
hearted people were here. 1 count
people who fight, curse, rob God and
man as hard hearted people. 1 hope
that not many such people belong to
this county, if they do 1 want the secretary
to erase my name. I guess
people are tired of hearing so much
about Maple Literary Society for T
am sure 1 am so. 1 will close by saying
that I hope that the dear editors of
<?ur county papers will discontinue so
much bosh being published about the
Society unless it was needful. And
also that Gcd will bless my friend
Jenrette with a happy life and most
of all a tender heart, a heart that will
compel him to rise against the .authorizing
of lies called joke? in our
society language.
W. T. Smith
Each re.al home should be an institution
of society so managed that the
oe;;t and most efficient citizens may
be given to the community.
Just whistle a bit if the day is dark,
And the sky be overcast;
If mute be the voice of the piping lark,
Whw, pipe vour own small blast.
May we have the wit to discover
what is true and the fortitude to prae
tice what is good.

FEW CASES
FOLLOW RAIN
9
This season has brought to this section
of the state a number of cases
of continued malarial fevers and some
cases of typhoid.
The cases were first developed
about the time of the first heavy rains
which injured the crops of the farmers
in Sorastee township and portions
of lower Bucks township.
It is now conceded thai the malarvil
type of fever is scattered by the everlasting
mosquito. While no way lias
been found to exterminate this pest,
vet there are many pood ways of preventing
him from doing any damage.
By spreading oil on the surface of
the stagnant waters that nv\y accumulate
in the ditches and drains, mo:
?|Uoties are prevented from breed irrl
in those places. Bv overturning all of J
i no owi tin pans, barrels and o1h*?'
places rain water catches and stays,
the number of mosquitoes is greatly
reduced. Host of all is the careful
screening of I bo windows and door* P
the dwelling's to prevent the insects
entering the home and biting while
the inmates sleep.
A study of tho fever situation, however,
would indicate that Horry has
had less of the continued cases of maaria
and typhoid than other nearby
sections of tho state. Tho number of
now cases no w developing is negligible.
Regarding these conditions in Flor-1
once county tho Florence Times says, j
"An unusually l.arro number of i
cases of typhoid and malarial fevers!
are following the present excessive
rains over the towns and rural communities
of this sectioi., according lo
health reports. I>r. C. C. Craft, citv
health officer, said that he is not
alarmed over tho situation as there
.are probably no more cases than conditions
warrant, but he advises every
precaution during tho present wot
weather. Keen all of the tin cans
picked up and drained, cut weeds and
grass around tho premises, oil ditches
or other places where water stands so
that it cannot be drained, or. best of
all, take tho typhoid vaccine treatment,
says Dr. Craft.
Reports from outlying sections indicate
that typhoid is very prevalent
iust now. Health authorities know
and say that there is just one preventive?that
is, kill the mosquito. This
can be done by destroying his breeding
places, which anyone may recognize.
Unless the mosquito is killed
by the destruction of his breeding
places, typhoid remains .a terrible
menace to tho community and to

Physicians in Timmonsville are reported
to have issued special warning
to all their people because of the pres ent
conditions.- They are advising
vaccine treatment as the one certain
immunity for the disease.
Reports are coming from other 5?ec
tions of South Carolina that typhoid
and malarial fevers are very prevalent
gen civilly at this time. Inasmuch
as the rains which have fallen
in this section have been quite general,
especially in the coastal regions,
no doubt the same conditions found
here exist in common through the
state.
