GENERAL WADE HAMPTON
(From a Paper Read Before The Fine
Arts Clrib at Conway
'(By Miss Lexie Huntley)
Wade Hampton was born in Charleston,
S. C., March 28th, 1818. He
was educated at the University of
(South 'Carolina.
Hampton opposed * secession, but
when war was declared he entered
the Confederate service as a private.
During the course of the war he
rose to the rank of major general, and
was in command of the cavalry arm,
first in Lee's army arid'later in Johnston's.
Although Hampton ^was admired
greatly for his clear head, courage
and fortitude as a soldier, it was during
the reconstruction period after the
Ci\dl 'War When he 'endeared' himself
so to the people.
After the war the South was overrun
by the vNorthem "Carpet-Baggers/'
'the Southern '"scalawags" and
the negroes. They filled the public
offices of the State and counties and
ran things to suit themselves. The
taxes on property were so high that
the Southern farmers were obliged to
sell tracts of land for a mere song.
Although Hampton was in Mississippi
at this time, he returned to South
Carolina to rescue his people from
this terrible state of affairs.
In 1876 he was elected Governor of
the State. The confidence 6f the people
in Hampton's bravery and judgment
saved South Carblina from further
bloodshed. At this period Chamberlain
was appointed Governor by
the radicals. The State was indeed
torn asunder with two Governors and
two legislatures. The Democrats under
Hampton adobted scarlet blouses
and were thereafter designated as
"The Bed Shirts." The "fight between
the radicals and Democrats was a
close one, but at last Hampton led his
band of worn-out veterans and boys
to victory.
In the latter part of' his second
term as Governor. Hampton was elected
to the United States Senate.
Besides being a good "fighter and^ a
bom 'leader of men, Hampton was' a
great sportsman. Once, while riding
out by the Congeree river, on a hunt,
the steed he was on became alarmed
i and shied so suddenly as to throw the
k Governor from his saddle. He came
out from the accident vdth a broken
leg, whidh later had to be amputated.
Hampton was critically ill for some
time. All the doctors of Columbia
were summonsd to his bedside, but it
germed If was all to no avail.
At this '.time a Methodist conference
WAS in -session -at Newberry.
Someone suggested praying for the
Governor, and immediately the vote
was carried, and the message that
they were doinir so was wired to Columbia.
The physicians debated for

some time as to whether they should
let the dying man hear the telegram
but finally decided in his sinking condition
it could no harm, and would
probably make his last moments on
earth a little pleasanter. When the
message?"The People of South
Carolina are praying for you" was
read to Hampton, he immediately
swooned away and for a few seconds
the physicians thought he was dying.
He was not, however, but was sleeping
the sleep that turned the crisis and
decided for him that he was to live.
When the great old general awoke
from the swoon, he remarked to a
physician standing nearby, "Doctor
I'm going to live!" I dreamed just
now that I ascended a high pinnacle,
where I could see all over the State,
and the people of South Carolina
were praying for me."
In 1893 Hampton was appointed to
the place of Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. He was holding this
office at the time, of his death.

to learn more about the volume
of poultry products that left our State
last season and the prices received.
New York City was our principal
Eastern Market last season, says F.
L. Harkey, Chief of the Division of
Markets and according1 to figures comDiled
by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, United States Department
of Agriculture, New York City received
the following quantities of dressed
noultry from South Carolina:
February, 1922 25 pounds
March 26 pounds
May 2,334 pounds
June 223 pounds
July 304 pounds
August 118 pounds
September 211 pounds
October 468 pounds
November 2,287 pounds
December 723 pounds
Total 6,719 pounds
This was the amount shipped to the
New York market during the year.
Washington, D. C., and Baltimore,
Md., also received shipments of poultry
from South Carolina.
It is interesting to trace the price
of eggs and dressed poultry on the
New York market for the year 1922.
The price of dressed poultry was fairly
uniform throughout the year, varying
from 29 cents per pound in July,
to 35 Vt cents in May. Prices were
generally lowest in February and

ORCHARD PESTS
Clemson College?The program of
summer sprays for controlling worms
and rot in peach fruits calls for the
first spray when about three-fourths
of the shucks have slipped (which is
about 12 days after full bloom.) Spray
with arsenate of lead made as follows:
Arsenate of lead powder .... 1 pound
(If arsenate of lead paste is
used 2 pounds
Quick lime 2 pounds
Water 50 gallons
Dilute the arsenate of lead with
wjater to make a thin paste and
slake the quick lime to whitewash.
Then add the thin arsenate of lead
paste and the whitewash to the barrel
of .water and the spray is ready
to be used. Get enough material to
spray peaches three times and apples
twice.
For Coddling Moth or Pink Worm
in Apple, use the same spray as given
for peach immediately after the petals
have fallen and before the cup
closes.
....For Apple Leaf Lice, which appear
on young buds and as the leaves develop
they curl, spray with the following:
Nicotine solution 40 ner cent 3-4 Dt.
Water 100 gallons
Soap 4 pounds
Do not use tar or naptha soap.
Shave the soap (if you have on hand
fish soap or whale soap or can obtain
it reasonably, we recommend it in
preference to common soap) in a little
hot water to dissolve it and mix.
You can obtain the arsenate of lead
spray as described above with this
louse spray and apply at the same
time. Write to your agricultural college
for the best, nearest markets \o
obtain the various spray materials.

MORE ABOUT ROTATIONS
Clemson College.?That rotations
are important factors from the standpoint
of soil improvement ,and economic
production of crops is clearly
proved by the fact that a rotation
series conducted by the Agronomy
Division of the South Carolina Experiment
Station was yielding at the
end of six years approximately twice
as muck as the continuous cotton
series, according to the Thirty-fifth
Annual Report of the Experiment
Station. The following statement
taken from the Report gives briefly
the facts brought put by the tests.
"Rotations are important from the
standpoint of soil improvement and
vvvuviiiiv |?uuuvviviii x ma is cspc"
clplly true where legumes are used in
the rotation. Some of our experiments
show that a good rotation increases
the yield of cotton and com
as much as does 1,000 pounds of an
8-4-4 fertilizer per acre. In a threeyear
rotation at the Pee Dee Station
we have maintained the fertility of
the soil for eight years now withou'
adding one pound of fertilizer. The
rotation?cotton followed by small
grain, followed by cowpeas for ha v.
fol'owed by corn with cowpeas broadcast
in the corn and turned under ?
is one of the best rotations for our
conditions. We have made careful
comparisons of plots which were
planted continuously to cotton, some
plots in each series receiving various
amounts of different kinds of fertilizers.
At the end of six years the rotation
series was yielding approximately
twice as much as the continuous
cotton series and was gaining rapidly
even where the complete fertilizer was1
used each year at the rate of 1,000 (
pounds per acre. Numerous other experiments
of a similar nature bear out
these conclusions and show that a
good rotation is of utmost importance
in building up our soil to where we
can produce cotton profitably under

DUSTING MACHINES FOR 1923
Clemson College.?The different
kinds of dusting machines available
for 1923 will be the same as those for
1922, viz: the two-mule three-row
duster, the one-mule two-row duster,
the saddle-hack duster, and the hand
duster. In 1923 there will he improve- (
ments made in a number of machines
that did not give entirely satisfactory
services in 1922, and all these models i
will soon be available, says Prof. A.'
F. Conradi, Entomogolist, who advises 1
that farmers secure the most reliable
information before purchasing. In
1923 there will be numerous make
shifts for dusting and spraying, as
well as many difTcrent kinds of maferi,al

SMALLSTORE
GOES UNDER
Edwards Was Not Being Pushed
Very Hard At The
Time
A. T. COLLINS AGENT
Had Conducted Small Business
at The Edwards Old
Stand
The first meeting of the creditors of
J. W. Edwards was held last week at
the office of S. C. Dusenbury, the assignee.
The meeting had been fixed for one
of the days of court week, but on that
occasion the creditors were busy in
their business affairs owing to the extra
crovAs of court week, and for that
reason they were not in position to attend
the meeting and it was postponed
until after court.
The principal creditors are: A. T.
Collins, A. T. Collins Co., Horry Hardware
Company, Farm Implement Co..
and two or three other wholesale
firms of Georgetown.
It was found at the meeting that
the total indebtedness of Mr. Edwards
does not exceed two thousand dollars;
that none of his creditors were pushing
him very hard for their claims at
this time; that most of them who attended
the meeting were surprised
wrhen he made this assignment in
view of the property that he owns and
which he had turned over to his creditors
by his deed of assignment.
The creditors examined Mr. Edwards
at the meeting concerning the
uilil'ifmnc nln/'Qfl nti liic nvnnovtir mrl I
? V?I v.tt V1V1IU I 1?WV4 VMI IUO |iiv?pv? VtT
other matters connected with his estate.
He said that he had determined cn
his present course because he did not
believe that he could do enough business
at his store to keep up the stock
and pay off those debts.
It was shown that he owns the
stock of merchandise now in the store,
the same stand occupied by his father,
the late James W. Edwards,
amounting in the whole to about $700;
that there is due to him in book accounts
and bills receivable seven or
eight hundred dollars; that he owns
an interest in a twenty-acre tract of
land near the public road leading from
Conway to Pauley Swamp, known as
the old Thad Davis place: and that he
is the owner of the new bungalow recently
erected on four lots which he
purchased from A. T. Collins in Collins
Terrace, and located near the
home of Mr. EM L. Smith; that this
#?ost him. counting the lots)
and building on it, a total of about |
$1,300, and that the cottage is fitted
. ith electric lights but has no connection
with the water system of
Conway. Besides the property alresdv
mentioned he owns household'
and kitchen furniture, an automobile,
"mrl nerhaps some other articles not
<?nrmfienlly mentioned in the deed
which he made to convey this property
for his creditors.
There is a mortgage for $300
against the home in Collins Terrace,
he'd hv A. T. Collins, who sold him
the lots. He also owes a mortgage
on the automobile for $150 00
At t^e meeting of creditors last
week A. T. Collins was elected as
agent of creditors under the assignment
laws of South Carolina: but the
creditors reserved the right to reject
the terms of the .assignment.
There was a proposition made to
consider paying him the sum of $1,500
as his homestead exemptions in
real and personal estate, and take
over the property as it stands and pay
his debts. It was stated that three
days would be taken to consider this
plan of adjustment.
It is not known at this writing what
disposition his creditors will finally
decide to make of the matter.
J. W. Edwards had been in the mercantile
business on the Race Path in
Conway for the past several years following
the death of his father a number
of years ago. A business at that
location near the corporate limits of
the town has to depend upon the small
cash sales of mill workers and farmers,
and the usual weekly or monthly
credit among the colored people. At
no time has he had a large business
operation.
So far he has shown a disposition
