Ashleigh, Nov. 2.—Due to the fine weather of the past several weeks, the farmers of this section are almost through gathering. Some have their fall grain planted and up to a good stand, while others are still breaking land and planting. There seems to be a splendid crop of corn, peas, po tatoes and sugar cane made in this section. Moat everybody will say, “I have made the best crop of every thing in years, but haven’t a dollar.

The interest in hog production in Barnwell County has increased a great deal within the past year. This in terest was probably due in part to the very interesting work done in dem onstration feeding of a carload of hogs by farmers around Dunbarton. These men were well pleased with the results obtained because they were able to sell corn through the hogs at a very profitable price. Then the unusually fine ton-litter recoid of Bryan Powell stimulated interest in better care, feeding and attention of hogs as well as using better foun dation breeding stock. Within the past three months there has been hi ought into the county with the assistance of the county agent at least two good spotted Poland China bbais and five bred gilts and sows. There are still several other farm ers planning to buy some' bred sows and gilts within the next sixty days. In addition to these pure bred pig-* are being placed now with farmers from the supply we have in the coun ty. There is already arranged for four or five carloads of hogs to be fed out and sold in the early spring market. One farmer is planning to feed two cars and two other farmers one each. In addition to these there will be many farmers feeding smarter lots. It appears that there is a fine opportunity for farmers to feed the surplus corn to hogs furnishing them for eaily spring market. It is well to have some fish meal as well as green grazing of cats or rye' to go along with a generous supply of corn. The prospects are that Barnwell County will find itself fairly well cov ered with nice spotted Poland Chinas within the next few year s if interest continues and plans of the County Agent are carried out. Farmers will be assisted by Harry Boylston in se curing good breeding stock at a reasonable price. Those interested should get in touch with him,in thb near future.—Prepared by H. G. Boylston, County Agent. a band, which in turn, carried a num ber. Mr. Fickling did not state the manner in which the chimney swift met death. The number on the band was pass ed on to Paul G. Redington, director of tKe bureau of biological survey of the bureau of agriculture, who said the bird had been banded May 16, at St. George School, Pa., by John Bar- tram. The United States bureau of biolo gical survey is in the habit of band ing birds of passage, especially game birds and waterfowls, and the combi nation of the two, such as ducks, in order to ascertain various data con cerning their flights and fancies. A number of banded birds have been picked up in South Carolina, many coming from points in the far north. Mr. Richardson has written Mr. Bartram, the Pennsylvanian, who numbered the swift or swallow, for \ further information in the history of the case.—The State.

" Some of the leading business men are hopeful and believe this section has just about struck bottom and that, therefore, it^will begin to re bound shortly. Other s are more pes simistic and believe that the worst has not yet come. B. C. Pendarvis, local banker, says conditions are not very encouraging, but he thinks the worst of it ig the fact that the people have no money. He does not believe there is any actual need in the county and doesn’t anti cipate any. He says it is his opinion that there is plenty to eat in the county and that there will not be any suffering. He thinks the condition is due to the fact that the cotton and lumber markets are down. Practical ly all the farmers in this section have been acustomed to making their living on cotton and now that it is bringing so little, they are hard put to it. Next to cotton, the lumber business in this county has been the most lucrative. There are perhaps 10 v or 12 fairly large mills in this section, none of them doing very much now. Mr. Pendarvis believes the situation will not improve until there is a de mand for cotton and lumber. Oswald Optimistic. J. L. Oswald, prominent business man, is more optimistic. He says there is plenty to eat in this county and it is his opinion that people will not suffer so long a B they can eat. He said he was told the other day by a stranger in town that there is more to eat in Allendale County than in the entire State of Virginia. Mr. Oswald says the people who have been used to spending a lot of money are hard hit, because they can’t ride so much now. He says buying automobiles and planting cot ton have brought this country to the condition it is in now. He thinks, have plant Local Voters Favor Biennial Sessions Amendments Carries at Barnwell Pre cinct by Majority of 4 to 1.— Only 45 Votes Cast. go with the Ainsworth Company, as financial campaign director.

On the face of early returns, the Democrats appear to have made im pressive gains in Tuesday’s general election, on the strength of which Jouett ShoiL'e, chairman of the Democratic national executive com mittee, claims control of the house of representatives, with a possibility of also controlling the senate. James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, was overwhelmingly elected United States Senator from Illinois; John HL Bankhead, Democrat, decisively de feated United States Senator Thos. J. Heflin in Alabama; Governor Frank lin J. Roosevelt won an overwhelming vietcry in.New York; North Carolina and Texas returned to the Democratic fold; Oscar DePriest, the only negro in Congress, was defeated for re- election by a white Democrat; Massa chusetts has apparently elected a Democrat, Marcus A. Coolidge, a rela tive of the former President, to the United States Senate; Connecticut and Ohio have apparently elected Democratic governors; the Democrats have made good gains in Congres sional seats in the West; and so it goes. In South Carolina, the Democratic ticket was elected without opposition, of course, and most of the constitu tional amendments have apparently received majorities. seems to be able to say with author ity.
