W ilk es & Co. , o ? *> "AN INDEPENDENT KINODOM" T i z In response to a letter sent out by tin' Columbia Stale to tanners asking them to tell why they are such, Mr. Jnred I) Sullivan writes from Lauren* as follows: "In reply to yours of recent date I would Bay that I certainly admire and appreeinte the advance you are en deavoring to make along agricultural lmprov< ments, it will make your valued paper more valuable to the rending public and especially to the farmers, who teed mid clothe the world and who are a very conservative people. p.nd who. until recent years, have received very I'.ltle attention from the legislation of the government, both State and National. You ask me why I am a fanner. Because l learned to love the farm when I was a hoy. as many of my ancestors had done before me, and they met with success, and be lieved in their sons belli . taught to work to be industrious ami thrifty as the best means to prevent the sowing of wild oats and reaping what they sow. Farming ts tiie first calling ever had. It was a necessity ami always will be. To drink the water of gurgling springs and not out of creeks and rivers often diluted with alum, which in many ways is injurlouh to man. to look at nature ;:s it goes through its many changes, as the seasons come and go; to live in your little kingdom inde pendent, to look at the trees as the gentle south wind blows them into hods, opening them and the singing Of the nine which is so soothing and delightful, to see nature in all its va ried forms and hues as the year ad-| vi nces with its golden harvest, of ce reals, cotton und fruits: to be removed from the troubles ami Ills or other peo ple, the professional man and mer chant are hourly ami daily brought in contact with: to bo free from the evils and vices which are always more prev. nlant in more congested centres; to he aide to develop man. both physical and mental, "pari pnssu," and make a perfect being along those lines: to see "the bare foot_boy with his cheeks oi tan" wading the branches candling the tirst minnow with a brass pin for a hook and riding and driving the noats anil calves. Farming has fewer fail ures; in fact, none where the farmer is practical and full of energy. "Farming in this county is undergo ing a great revolution. There is more corn planted ami heilig planted than there has been in 30 years, better ma nured and better prepared, regardless of the price of cotton, hut will make more cotton per acre, more horsepow er, more improved tools used, consid ered the cheapest labor. There i- a new era for the fanners of this State. We have es good land as any section in the I'lllted States. We know we :< i e in the corn belt, also the hog and live stock bell; in fact, we can make everything and increase the produc tion of our lands by diversifying and rotation. Dairies in I.aureus. We have in this county at 1? nsl eight daries nnd thousands upon thousands of pounds of hotter is shipped out ol this county yearly. Tin- town of Cray Court alone is shipping S.500 yearly. Chickens and eggs and turkeys are shipped. Fine herds of jerseys and other liest breeds of cattle are seen all over the county, also the best breeds of hogs. One fanner netted $300 on a 20-acre Rermuda tarm; another $30 per acre with Herd's grass. Others are making Irish potatoes from the second crop to sell and feed them all the spring. Immense rpinntltlos of fruits ami vegetables arc canned nnd to get a good meal all you have to do is to go to the country. You know of the manufactories we have and of our line rock quarries ami other industries. We are getting a better citizenship ev ery year. The people are being edu cated along all lines. enthusiastic for bettet schools and longer terms and better teachers. Truly, we have a great country am) a grand people. .hired I). Sullivan.
