Laui'ens County Boy Spending the Summer Selling Books In Missouri. Among quite a number of South Carolina boys who are spending the summer in the west this year selling books and working in the harvest fields are several Laurens county boys. One of them, Laurence Taylor, who lives near Ware Shoals, has writ ten a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Taylor, which will doubt less be read with interest by Adver User readers. Withi a few sentences of a personal nature taken out, the letter follows: Maysville, Mo., Aug. 1, 1915. Dear Mallimma an1id Papa: We are now in our headquarters. Seems to be a very nice little town, but not quite so large as Albany. The people seem to be more kindly than they did when we first went to Al bany, but we made some mighty good friends there. .\lrs. B3orst, the lady we roomed with, was so good to us, and tihen there was a lady who lived right near who was awfully good to us too. She was Mrs. Gillispie and she has one of the nicebst little girls you ever saw. Oh! they just treated us royally. Sev eral t'mes they madle ice cream and invited us out, and she would give us sweet milk night and morning when we were in. She was almost like a mother to us. She said that she had a son away from home, and she hoped some one would do him a favor once In a while. Mamma, don't ever turn down a man that looks decent. As< him in and treat him icind. Of course you don't have to buy from hiin unless you see it would be a benefit to you. But it doesn't cost anything to 1) kiind, and it sure does make anyone feel good to be out among strangers and mneet with kind people. There is a big tent meeting going on here and has been ever since the -Ith of July, but it will close tonight. We went last night and today. 'I'hey gave a testimony meeting this afternoon and I never saw the beat, the people were lip two and three at a time for more than thirty minutes. I-low are those Watermelons and peaclies? I sure would like to be there and help eat them, but you can just think of me when you cut one. * Well, perhaps you would like to know how we boys are faring in the far west and something about the customs of the people. We have been having a right rough time of it for the last two weeks. It has been rain ing so much. There were two weeks that we couldn't get out in the coun try at all. But this week is just fine and, believe me, we are making use of it. We are now eighteen miles from headquarters. We came this far in two days. You don't have any idea what this work is lke. I get so tired sometime tallcing, that I can hardly speak another word, hut I really 111c the work and especially when I run up my reports. I have made an av erage of over $5.00 per (lay this week. I think that beats the harvest field1 at $2.00. Tlhe other boys are making good too. Two of thenm are a little ahead of me, but I mean to makce themi hus ic to kceepi aheadl. We certainly do0 have lots of fun when we all get to gether. You can imagIne how glad we arie to see each ofther on Sautuirday evening when we have been out all weekc. We v'ery often stay up until1 twelve o'clockc talkcing and laughing over' our ex periences. You kcnow we are keepIng bachelor''s hall, a m e mec tell you, we have some f'um. have gottIen to be a first class etook. I cooked somie beaniis and potadoes Cfr (lared they were( thle best t hey lM( ever ea ten. We are( goinhg to get a kodak a nd make somec pictu res of or room, so yOu enni see wha kind 01 house keepers we arec. Now, I imst tell you Soiic h about thme iustomus of the .\l issoiuriansie. Oh, they are so di fferen t from)) wh at our pecopIle are, butC romnehow I II Ike them. It may be a force of hait y know I just have to like t hem any way, hut the strcangest t hing about thec honme, is lbheir( og. 1 h aven't seen~ hisen ' mo)re t han five or sixI imes sdnce I cam), here. Thiy mnake lo:,f bread ali Ithe time0. And the farmiaug is so di fferent from what iIt is aI hme You) never see a man plowlng onec horse in cumltCIvatI ig. They use from two to four' great big horses t hat weigh from-fourteen to cighte en Ihun dred0( each. Wha~it wold ( ) yo hink I to seec such a team in)I a cor field(. Thei harvest Is oni now. It certaInly Is a bumsy timie, It has been so raIny th!ut a large part of the griln is badly' damiuaged, and especially the oats, they have fallen dlowni so badly. Tfhey say the hay (1rop Is the flunt It has been Isaw a man flhe other daiy that had lfi y acres of t imothy andl he was ex pecting sleventy-tive t)Tns trom it. That will mean somie money to himn.

You see that Is certainly a saving of labor. Three men can do the work. The nights are real cool. There hasn't been a single night that one did not need cover. You just ought to see some of the fine cattle and hogs. The cattle are the most beautiful 1 ever saw. They don't have Jerseys, but have a big red short horn cattle and the black cat tIe. They raise fine hogs too. It is a very common thing to see a mran with two or three hundred head. Well, Mamma, I meant to have writ ten you Sunday, but Wilbert and I were invited out to dinnlier and of coarse we had to aceept. \e sure did -have a line time. That ii igh t we carried our girls to chuIrch Let mite til you, we eltk a itrough 'with the girls Iere.
