i NEWS LETTER FROM HARPERS- 1 Tribote to Geo. Butler?School Bends j' Voted-Improvements Noted. Harpers, April ly:?People here have read the announce* t / ment of the death of Gen M C : Butler with deep regret. Sev- 1 eral of the Confederate soldiers who were in his command are living here now, viz, R S Tis- < dale, W S Camlin, Sr, and others, i Those who were with him in j those trying days speak of his i noble service rendered the Con- ; federate States and his unspeak- i able bravery. The writer has < been informed by one of the j General's comrades that on one ; nr<*a?inn when Gen Butler and his command were seeking the enemy, the General was leaning i forward in his saddle looking through a telescope and while in this position he was fired on ' twice by two Union scouts. It is said that General Butler did not even straighten in his saddle or take the glass from his eye. At this juncture one of the General's body-guards fired < on those two Union scouts, killing one while the other fled 1 for his life. This is only one instance of his bravery under tire. 1 His comrades are deeply affected by his death and all the people in South Carolina feel the loss of one of her greatest sons, both in war and, peace. The people* of Harpers and Rosemary took the second ballot on Saturday evening, the 17th inst, on the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $5,000 for building and equipping a school building in our special school district. The election was carried by a safe majority for the issuing of bonds; so we now hope to have our 1 building ready for next fall's term of the school. I hope to , see in a short time a graded school at this place second to none in the State. We intend to work without ceasing until we do succeed. A "stranger" appeared at the ? home of Mr L A Kogerson on last Saturday morning. It is a girl, but not yet of school age. They < say "L A K" is all smiles. Mr E W Hendisee of Rosemary bas moved to town and cast bis lot with us. We have room for hundreds of others and welcome all good people. The Dr C Lee property, I have been informed, will be cut into lots and sold at auction. We hope to see home seekers purchase those lots and build, for this is a very desirable piece of property. The wheels of progress are now turning here. There are j to-day 100-acre farms under , full cultivation that one year ago were forest. You can see ( the opening for miles of farms now going under cultivation. , We hope to see this good work go on until this section will be , known as a banner farming , community. Truck is progressing nicely and we hope to see see this industry tiourisb here. , There have been strawberries and cabbages sold here for the ; past two weeks. This shows 1 what can be done with truck here in the low country. Subscriber, BAD LONGEST NAME IN WORLD. a > > * n t n r I UD D. 1. 1. U. I. D. C- lm A. L. m. u. S. J. P. R. W Chiles Dravoed.

The past year alrnoat everyone j telle you was an unprofitable year for farming. Yet there are some | farmers right hire in Williamsburg who made good money. The secret is < judicions use of fertilizers, diversification of crops and close, economical management. Gradually our farmers are having it hammered into their tninds that the day of big acreage and poorly tended crops is past, and the man who as a rule succeeds best on a farm nowadays is he who runs ? small farm, gives it close attention *? i J -1.. i_ : _ r ana raises nis ioo?-stuns on nis iumi. As an example of the small, independent farmer, we have in mind a mau whom we have known from boyhood. We know that everything he owns he earned himself?dng it out of the soil?and scarcely a year passes that he does not lay aside a nice little sum above iiving expense " We refer to our friend, Mr W Strong, or "Buck", as we al him?who lives about ten miles of Kingstree in the Central church neighborhood, and who at our request has furnished an itemized statement of the cost of his cotton crop for last year and the price he received for the same, showing the profit to be derived from a thirty acre field of cotton in Williamsburg county. We have no doubt that there are others in the county who can compare tayorably with Mr Strong in their successful farming and we 9nall be pleased to hear from any one on the subject. Such concrete examples are encouragiag and inspiring to others and bear indisputable testimony to the claim we have all along made, that our county in natural resources is second to none in the finest State in the Union?South Carolina.
