Tea Growing in Gaffney.
In the year 1874 Mr. ami Mrs. Til-
man R. (iaines founded their nice
residence on Limestone avenue,
which stands at the spreading oak
just above the Presbyterian church.
That year Mrs. (iaines planted in the
garden a Chinese tea plant, sent to
her from the agricultural department
at Washington, which plant she has
carefully watched all these years
The tea bush grew flourishing in that
garden until last week. J)r. C. M.
Littlejohn having bought this pretty
cottage, moved in last week. Desir
ing to build a small cottage on the
rear of the lot he took the site at the
place where the tea tree grew. The
builders cut down the strange tree,
not knowing its nature and history,
hut they sent word to Mrs. Caines
that she could have the branches ami
«tnmp. The brnnf'hes were pothered
up into a uuudic ut lUO nice twigs,
that grew from the same roots, about
six feet high. The bunch was about
five feet in diameter. The stump
was taken up and it and the roll of
branches were taken to Mrs. Gaines'
new dwelling, where she now lives,
and she has buried the stump in the
yard. This stump weighed about 100
lbs. and the limbs about, as much.
This genuine Chinese tea bush was
twenty years old and it had the
assurance of an ag* of fifty years.
The Lkdgkk has in the office one of
the branches with its leaves on it,
and Mrs. Gaines left a sample of the
cured tea leaves.
This shows what tea raising might
do in our section of the South.
Sports in Blacksburg.
Two baseball teams have already
been organized, with Dr. Thornton
as president, and L. It. Stutts and
Tom Mays as eaptainn. The boys
are practicing daily and before long
they propose to meet any and all
home teams within twenty-five miles
distant. The Gaffney boys should
get to work and ho aide to meet the
boys across the Broad. A series of
gentlemanly games helweeu the
capitol of Cherokee and our sister
city would prove interesting and
serve to strengthen the ties of friend
ship already existing and bring us
closer together. Let us have them
by all means.
Big Guns.
Uig guns continue to pass nearly
every day going South. An tin.
tuerise one passed through Monday.
A bystander remarked that, “Mc
Kinley needen’t back with such tools
as, that."
Improved Farming.
There has been a marked improve
ment in the method of farming in
tins section in the last few years.
The farms in many places are more
productive and are being rapidly
built up to a paying state of fertility.
Much of this improved condition is
due to the farms being terraced. The
first terracing in this section, if we
are not misinformed, was done by .1.
V. Surratt only a few years ago.
Other farmers soon begun to experi
ment with terraces till now an un
terraced farm is not often found.
Many old washed fields have been
restored to their former fertility, and
in many instances are more product
ive than was their virgin soil.
With properly made terraces the
land ceases to wash, thus saving to
the owner eighty per cent of its pro
ducing power* which had formerly
Occii consumed m making one crop.
The results are proving satisfactory
and the longer terracing is done the
better it will be done, and our lands
will increase in value and product
iveness.
