Local N«wa and Personals of General Interest. Draytonville, June 24.—Rev. E. G. Ross, of Greer, filled his regular ap pointment here Saturday and Sunday. He delivered two strong and enthu siastic sermons to which the congre gation listened to attentively. Mr. Ross also filled his appointment at Ross Grove Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. We were visited by a heavy rain Sunday afternoon which washed the land very badly. Messrs. John Rains, Roland Par ker and little son, Horace, of Gaffney, attended religious services and visit ed relatives at this place last Sun day. Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Phillips are rejoicing over the arrival of a bounc ing boy. We were in error in saying there would be two sermons at Mr. Ararat next Sunday. Mr. Hoke will only preach his usual sermon and will preach at Ross Grove in the afternoon at three o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Parris, of Gaffney, attended religious services here last Sunday. It seems that politics is very dull this year. We presume it is because it is not the year for all of the officers to run. We notice that there are only two candidates out for superintendent of education and some other candi dates have no opponents. We have no part in the election only we trust that the right men will be elected to All he various - offices. Those men who are running for superintendent of education are men that can fill the office with the proper attention, but we would like to see more out for that office. Mr. J. L. S., let us see you out for this office as we think you have the ability to fill the office. Messrs. George McCraw and 0. H. Whelchel attended religious services at Ross Grove last Sunday afternoon. The prayer meeting was not largely attended Saturday night on account of the inclement weather. The writer did not attend but was informed that Mr. Huskey and our pastor made good talks. The crops are looking fine in this section. The cut worms are cutting the corn and cotton very badly. Some are beginning to lay by their corn. Mr. D. C. Phillips has the finest piece of corn that we have seen any where. Cleve is a hustler, and if any one gets a head of him they will have to get up early and work late, and then we do not think they could get ahead of him. Several of the young people of Wllblnsvllle section were -visitors here last Sunday. Come again, we are always glad to see you. Mr. L. J. Parker is all smiles these days. He has a new comer at his hoa^e—it's a boy. I The biggest majority of the farm- j ers of this section went to Gaffney Monday while the ground was loo | wet to work. Mr. Ray Huskey spent Sunday with your scribe. Ray is jolly good fellow. The Sunday school at this p'ace met Monday night and practiced tin !r Childrens' Hay exercises. They will meet Friday night and practice. Every pupil that has a part in the exercises is requested to be present so the pro gram can be fully arranged for the occasion on Sunday. We were visited by another heavy rain Monday night which washed the land very badly. Bottom land corn was overflowed and washed up by the streams. Mr. W. F. Huskey aud family came down in our section Monday. Messrs. O. H- Whelchel and Stain- ly Wilson went fishing on Broad river yesterday. They did not have much i luck. Messrs. Willie Huskey and Stainly Wilson were elected delegates to re present Draytonville Sunday school in the Sunday School convention which meets next Sunday at Mesopo tamia church. The people of Draytonville will meet Friday morning and clean off the cemetery. Those who are inter ested in cleaning off same are re quested to bring tools. Mr. A. J. Parker. Jr., who is work ing on the railroad at Lancaster, came home Saturday night and re turned to his work Monday morning. The proverb, “That laziness be gins in spider webs and ends in iron chains” is old and of good wit. We do not think it is very becom ing for people to make you think they are your best friend when in your presence and when they get be hind your bacb or in the presence of a large crowd throw slurs at you. Mr. and Mrs. Smith Rains, of near Gaffney, visited relatives in. this sec tion yesterday. We- are expecting a large crowd at Draytonville on Childrens’ Day which takes place Sunday. We hope to meet a number of the correspondents of The Ledger there. We hear a great deal about “the coming Southern farmer” and some things that he will have to io. This is a subject that we can not explain fully, all the details pertaining to “the farmer.’’ and will only pen a few lines on the subject. The first thought that comes into our mind is “Boys, did you ever think who the coming farmer of the South will be?” Our answer is you, boys, yourself. The farm is the best place that a boy could think about starting out into life to make a life worth living. Not a boy should turn away from the farm to be a doctor, lawyer, city merchant, or anything else that is not a farmer. I Farming is just as profitable for you as anything. Some of the farmers boys get it into their heads to live in town, but what real farmer boy wants to live on a half acre plot of poor land, having to buy everything he eats and wears? Who wants to live out of tin cans and cracker boxes all his life? Farmer boy. is that the kind of life you are planning? While on the farm where we have all the pure air we want, we can raise nearly every thing we eat. and some of the things we wear, by raising sheep for the wool, and cotton and sending it to the mills to be returned to us made into cloth. When our time conies in farming will not be such hard work as it has been. By improved methods and farm machinery, one hand can do much more and better work than has been done in years gone by. This is not the only convenience for our homes. The government is establishing rnrab mail routes all over the Southland. The country schools are rapidly improving. The telephone is making its way among the South ern farmers. These will be a help an<i nieans something to the coming | farmers of the South. Now, boys and ! girls, If we are to live the happiest I and healthiest life in the world, let : us prepare for it by striving for a | good education, by studying the farm | ! books, reading the farm papers and | by having a little experiment station ! of our own at home. This will show | the coming farmer what varieties of I different crops will be suited to his | climate. L»t us raise everything we j eat and use at home so thac we shall j not have to buy so much. Then we j j know where our food comes from and : | that it is pure and -wholesome. In ! rhese and many more details lie the i i success of the coming Southern farm- i er. You see, dear readers, from this 1 j poor composition that the writer is a j i Southern farmer boy. We are con- j i ndent that we nave not given this j great and important subject justice \ j and we nope that some writer will' j write it up. Let us hear from you. ; ! dear correspondents of The Ledger. We will give the readers a write-up I or Childrens’ Day at Draytonville in i our aext letter. School Boy. i weekly weather Bulletin.
