On the other hand, no sadder feeling steals over one than while ga?ing upon a neglect ed grave which perhaps contains the ashes of some one laid there by loving friends, who in the tide of events have moved to distant parts, and thereby deprived a grave of its proper care. There are graves of several Confederate soldiers who died from disease while passing through here, away from home and friends, and sad, sad. to say. their only epitaph, “unknown.” “Sleep on. brave soldiers, un til the resurrection morn; may you rise in immortality in all the grandeur of those entombed in mausoleums* This spot has been rendered notably sacred, as it contained until recently the remains of the gallant Texan.

Long Called "Farming Prince" By J. M. Eleazer, (Clemson Extension Information Specialist) History carries the record of many princes. Political princes those. I know a number of a different sort. Farming princes, large and small! One of the chief of these is Henry O. Long of Newberry Coun ty. He bears down on his rolling red acres and causes them to bring forth a sort of plenty that justifies the slogan of his farm, “Something to sell every day.’’ “Except Sunday,” he might add. One man came for cotton seed then but he didn’t get ’em. Mr. Long thought that w^as understood. County Agent Ezell and I visit ed his place right in the middle of January of the past and bleak est winter we’ve had in a long time. His large herd of cattle were in lush grazing half knee deep, while many farms, who had not mastered pasture manage ment as he had, were having to buy feed for thin cattle. Alfalfa has been a money crop with him for years. Hogs too are a money crop. And they don’t have to root for a living. Self-feeders serve them. Grain is a major crop on his farm, fine grain that’s sold mostly for seed. And cotton? Yes, he grows that great crop too. And his perfect stands of young cot ton in contourned rows, devoid of grass or weeds, was a beauti ful sight when I was there in late May. Last year slips of paper w r ere passed out to the members at a Newberry Rotary Club meeting. They were asked to w r rite down what they thought was Newber ry County’s greatest need. One man w r rote “More Henry Longs’’ on his. And just about all mem bers agreed with that. I could go at length telling about this farming prince. But I won’t. I can say this. When he gets hold of a piece of land you can very soon tell the difference, when you pass that way. Surely, there is more in the man than there is in the land. Princes of the land are these great farmers who stand out. I have seen 'em from small to large, owner and tenant. I might tell you about others of ’em sometime.
