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.

PROFITABLE FARMING.
rbirty Bales of Cotton on Thirty Acres;
-Who Can Beat It?
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.
