Personal Paragraphs Concernln| Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkinsville, Oct. 2.—Only a few counties in South Carolina can claim the honor of being the birthplace of a United States senator. This Chero kee county can do. Senator Bank- head, of Alabama, was born on Mr. W. R. Walker’s Sunnyside farm. The old Bankhead house Is still standing —we saw it last week. It is In a fair state of preservation. When the Bankheads moved away, or died out, Capt. S. S. Walker bought the land, and now bis son, W. R., owns It. It Is just below the mouth of Thlckety creek on Broad river. The Bank- head family were connected with the early history of Salem church. What a woman can’t accomplish with her tongue she can with her tears. Wlhen put together the two are irresistible, especially if accompa nied with a kind of a howl. Mr. Charley Foster went ’possum hunting last Thursday night and caught one. but turned it loose again. County Supervisor Lipscomb was In this section week before last look ing over the roads and bridges. "Most of the cotton is now open and pickers are getting fifty cents per hundred, and eoia>' getting more Mr. James G. Garner’s pumpkins are all right. He will have a lot of them If no freshet destroys them. The use of cotton and cotton goods dates hack eight centuries before the beginning of the Christian era. How much oarHe r It may have been used we are unable to say. It will grow only 36 degrees north or south of the equator, but the peculiarities of the soils are such that only a very small area of the land will produce a marketable staple. Only the coast region of South Carolina and Geor gia and their adjacent islands can raise the long staple at all. It was Introduced there from the Bohamas in 1785. PHng, the historian, says it gre w in ‘‘Upper Egypt on the side of Arabia’’ where robes for the Egyptian priests were made of the cotton. With these facts before them the cotton growers will not be "bam boozled” by the argument that other countries can and will raise it in competition with our American cot ton which now does, and will con tinue to supply the world’s demand. . If In 3.000 years these countries have khoen unable to make it pay It’s time to unit talking about it. As the world advances and as the demand for cotton increases the Southern States will continue to be the only place upon which it can draw for the additional supply. There are now about twelve ’phones on the line running from this side of the river to Hickory Grove. With the ’phone has come the post card and the (?) Is much more fn use now than ever in writing. One of our best farmers savs that a "buster” plow should be run under the sugar cane roots as soon as the cane Is taken off the ground, for the stumps exhaust and impoverish the land. . At the picnic at Wilkinsville ton Woodman’s day) some one of the speakers suggested the Idea of plant- ng out trees of different kinds—those, of course, most adapted to the soil— In order to renew the forests. It wouldn’t be a great many years un til there would be a lot of timber in the land again. In Mr. W. R. Wal ker’s bottom on Broad river there is a cottonwood nearly two feet through and he sayg it came up after the freshet in 1886. ft’s wonderful how quickly a sprout will become a tree. In France a great many years ago thousands and thousands of acres of waste land werere claimed in this way; and it put an end to droughts In th?it country. The government took the matte r in hand and the same should be done in this country. In 1874 Nebraska adopted an Arbor day. It was for the voluntary plant ing of tree* by the people and school children. Since then about forty- four States and territories have adopt ed Arbor day. But, like many other good laws, it Is a nullity so far as we are generally concerned. Trees, like men, get their growth—and they never get any larger though they may stand a hundred years. In front of Mr. S F. Estes’ house stands a red oak that will make 30 rails to the cut. During the great sleet of February. 1858, it was a mere sap- ling—bent to the ground by the sleet. His father cut the top off and It’s now a giant tree. It doesn’t take trees always to grow to their full stature. We have a tree—an elm— In our yard set out thirty-one years ago when It wasn’t as large as a ‘man’s wrist. Now It Is larger than one’s body. We have also a walnut which came from the seed less than fifteen years ago from which we gathered four bushels of walnuts last year. The present tree from which ours came grew from a walnut which Rev. A. A. James brought from Indiana about 1858. So, in about fifty years two generations of walnut trees can he grown, on the same lam, if neces sary. Forestry should be added to the list of American industries, especially In the gonthern States. People never get too old or wise tp learn Tour correspondent thought he was very smart and knew It all until he found he was mistaken. The other night he wanted to lock the cotton house, but couldn’t find a chain sufficient to fasten the door. Mrs. J. L. S. came to the rescue about that time with a cotton poke. She put the strap through a hole in the door anj around the facing and locked the door. We remonstrated with her say ing the strop could be easily cut or broken. To this she replied: "Locks are not to keep rogues out— they only tell when they come—and this will answer for that as well as a chain.” She Is about right while your correspondent is a less self con ceited man than he was. The ‘‘Old Man” of The Ledger is not so old after all—only forty-two. You’re only in the prime of life, “Bud.” When you pass two score years more, then you will be entitled to‘the soubriquet—"Old tyan.” If the sales of post cards continue to Increase for the next year as they have during the past few months, the volume of mall matter will he In creased so that the officials will have something to do In dlstrubutlng it. Some of these cards are very sig nificant In themselves and for love- making they can’t be beat. But some of them are of doubtful propriety. A responsible man who hap good reasons to think so, says that within a fc w miles of us there must be a lot of gold burled—anywhere from one to twenty thousand dollars. The par tv sold a big lot of cotton just after the wa r at about 30 cents per pound, in gold. He owed nobody and dln’t spend the money that any one knows of and (says our Informant) “What became of it?” in those days people did not have banks In which to de posit money—they got used to biding it during the war and he thinks this party did this. The man died soon after the war and If he ever disposed of the money no one knows It. Two streets—one 30 feet and the other 10 feet wide cross each other at right angles. How far from one corner diagonally across both stree 4 s to the other? The election of Rev. Robert Adams, D. D.. to the presidency of the Pres byterian College of South Carolina, at Clinton, to fill the vacancy occas ioned hy the death of Rev. William Oordan Neville, D. D-, is a most ex cellent selection. Dr. Adams is in his fifty-sixth year. Some tourists who have been spending the summer in the moun tains of North Carolina, passed here last Saturday on their way home wards. * As outlined In last Friday’s issue of The Ledger Senator Otts’ position on the liquor question is very satis factory to us. We would, however, suggest an amendment that would make the buying of liquor a crime as well as the selling of it—especially in such counties as Cherokee where it has been voted out and no one al lowed to sell It. If there were no buyers there would be no sellers— we have never yet thought that “old Mother Eve” was any worse than the devil who beguiled her. Miss Minnie Fowler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Fowler, Is very unwell. She Is suffering with a rheu-1 matlc affection.
