C. deer sir:— i have benn asked by the flat rock farmers to congratulate you and uncle sam in over-coming the suppreme coart by getting something else start ed to help keep the tillers of the soil out of the poor house, ansoforth. holsum moore feels sure that he will land a big lum if he can get the poke roots to align theirselves with the republicans; he is willing to line up with them if it looks like they are going to win out. in other wordfc, whichever way the wind blows, so blows holsum moore. he- wants a chance to make a speech up north on gen. grant’s or gen. sherman’s birth day. if they ever have one. that will fix him strong with the north. some hard words and a few blow s was exchanged enduring this meeting, as there were a few new dealers pres sent who seem to be on the fence be twixt the poke roots and the dimmer- crats. art square lost 2 teeth and tom head is wearing a peace of round stake over his left eye that con tacted the firet of yore corry spondent, mr. mike Clark, rfd, who is still strong for both the direct and indirect relief ansoforth. the poke rootclub wil put out a full local, state and county ticket for thi s summer, including ever offis from the kurrier to the sheriff, a few new planks will be added in their flatform from time to time, and the said plank will be halfway betwixt the liberty leege and' the republicans, iut they hope to be classed as dim ats no matter how far away they wander off fn m the party’s poli cies. they enjoy being called jeffef- sonians ansoforth. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. corry spondent. as soon as checks can be rote and mailed see that the flat rock communi ty gets their’n; most of us missed our parrity onner count of the tripplets ‘a’ being condemned before you coUtfd get to the post offis with same. we notis you will call the new bill the “soil erosion” instead of the trip plets “a.” s o it mought take the sup preme coart sevveral months to study up on whatHhat means, and by that time—you will have paid us for mak ing or plowing up another crop. - it mought be of intrust to you to know that 1 scudd Clark named his lit tle baby boy ‘‘soil erosion” Clark in honor of this new farm aid; he was horned yesterday and both are doing well. dr. hubbert green, our local flssician was on hands, and as he is a farmer hisself, he suggested this name for him. plese take care of the seed loan's as retofoar; we will need them worser in ever, and if you can think of Mike Makes His Third Appeal mr. henry s wallis, seeker-terry of the agger-culture Washington, d. C. deer sir:— please hurry up my first govver ment check on the erosion plan to take the place of the trubble caused by the suppreme coart. i have 4 akers behind the barn and 7 akers below the’ cow pastor that \ want the farm agency to erode for me this year, i will rent them at 7$ per aker. we could use our first eroser check at once, and would be willing to wait a few’ days longer on my par rity check which was hell up by the tripplets “a” decision, do you know whether or not anny of the suppreme coart judges ever farmed to anny ex tent and how’ much cotton, corn, wheat and hogs they growed to the aker ? this d«te the weather has been verry severe on the working classes, allso the pwa. ? it has not put out ag here- tofoar. plese use yore influence to keep the suppreme coart off the pwa and salvation army till further notis, or at least till blackberries and wat- ter-millicns come in. they are all the soarce 8 that we have to lean on at this riting. some pollitidks" is being talked but it will be hard on the dimm^rcrats if they dbn’t commence to pay off in some manner as heretofoar. if the farmers can get checks ever now and then from the govverment, the new deal will remain strong and grow in stature ansoforth, but if the republi cans wtas to start mailing out bonnus and cotton and corn checks, the dim- merefats meught as wel stay away from the poles. don’t let the soil erosion plans slow down or choke up. we are all looking forward to another good! year on the farm, but it won’t be much of a year without govverment aid. * yores trulie, mike Clarke, rfd, dirt farmer. if the eerosion scheme works as well as the tripplets “a” (or the en suing year, the farmers will* be bet ter off than they would of benn with the old plan, as the procesing taxes being took off has cut down their liv- ving expense s a right smart, but it had no affect on the price of gaaso- leen ansoforth, which, as you know, remains the same as it wa s befcar the julges hand;] down anything. -no crop, have benn pitched up to \> Blackville Women Injured.

It Can Be Done The predicts now’ made in the South do not supply the demands of its own people. There i s ample oppertunity for enterprising groups of citizsn to develop small plants to make the things which our people need and want. We need to place more emphasis on ocal .products for local requirements. South Carolina has not made much progress in its production of miscel- aneous manufacturing, or the produc tion and processing of food products. Some of the plants w’hich would be w’ell in South Carolina: —plants producing garments such as shirts and other wearing apparel; —.plant s for the processing and pre serving of foodstuffs, including pack ing plants, vegetable and fruit can ning plants, and dairy products. There is room f:r wood working, metal working and clay working plants; paint and paper products, and numerous other comm dities. It Can Be Done. Last year miscellaneous plants of the following kinds were located 4n an adjoining State: Hosiery Mills. Processing ard production of food 1 products. Textile equipment and supplies. Silk Mills. , • Garment Factories. Furniture Factories. Breweries. Mattresses. » Cosmetics. Luggage. Cigars. Burlap Bags. ^ Gears. Printing Supplies. 15igns. ~ '*4 r ■ *- h Machine Shops.
