BIG TOBACCO CBOP PREDICTED-BEANS IOYING?LECTURING COTTONTOTS | ?MAGISTRATE'S COURT. Lake City, May 19:?Mrs T S Duffy and son last week joined Dr Duffy here, whe re they have j made their home. Tbey came from Newbern. N C. If one may predicate upon the (JUdUUiy UI lUUdLCU auto uiauu^ ^actured here and hauled away into the country this spring, the crop of tobacco that is now growing breaks all the records i _ of former years. Thirty days from now the weed will begin to go upon the market, and those connected with the business, | growers, warehousemen and others, are fully employed in preparing for the expectant and busy days ol the season that hold out fair promises to each and all. The shipment of beans began about a week ago and the size is now growing rapidly. Last year the crop was about thirty( two thousand hampers. This number will be exceeded this season by more than twenty thousand hampers.

Why is this vegetable called a "cuke?" Is it because the "cuke" is as lacking in nourishment as an average duke in brains'?

How long- will this thing go on Some beans shipped from s here brought $2.50 per basket. < There is something- to be maue at that price. A grower told us yesterday that his tirst pick- ] ing- which made twenty baskets brought him enough to pay for | making his entire crop of two acres, including fertilizers. He will get at least 200 baskets < from the two acres. So that ten per cent of the crop paid for the . entire crop. Do you think this man will ever be so simple as to deyote himself to cotton?

WOULD CUT FOUR COUNTIES WITH OLANM AS THE COUNn SEATPROMOTERS ACTIVE. ' i Editor County Record:? Th? citizens of Olanta and sur,; rounding territory have recently recommenced an active and well directed movement agitating their new county scheme and from what ; we learn their chances seem brighter than ever. Olanta is so situated as 1 to render her peculiarly adapted for 1 a county seat, being surrounded by narffl nf fnnr POOlltieS. viz: Flor ence, Williamsburg, Sumter and ' Clarendon, and as she is a thriving j little town that has made wonderful strides in the past three years, it 1 looks to us that she deserves the , county seat she seeks, and although it does take a slice off our county, , we are generous enough to be willing for it in the interest of our State's welfare. Olanta is destined to be a j city at no long future date and her | people have become aware aware of j her advantages and have taken off | their coats to fight for her rights. A $5,000.00 school building is under construction and we hear of several other very substantial enterprises being on foot Pro Bono Publico. Bethlehem Union Meeting New Zion church. May 28-30, j 1909.
