Editor Countv Record:? __ Mr William Dennis,who owns and i I operates the jrrist null near the canal, I! in town, requests me to write a few | lines for The Record with regard to i i planting wheat in Williamsburg1 I county. Mr Denuis wants the farm-! iers to plant wheat and promises to' ' put in a Hour bolting outfit if he can ' get a number of farmers to pledge themselves to plant a few acres each. Mr Denuis says that if about 500 acres of wheat be planted he would add the grinding and bolting machinery to his mill. Flour costs now I j about double what it sold for a shoit ? time ago and there is a plenty of rich land in this county that will grow fine wheat. A few acres will produce i enongh to do a large family and it | t takes very little labor to make it, 31 hoincr en a'n m t hp tall when farmers i have plenty of time. Two or three' . davs will be Ion# enough to sow and ; y- plant it and nothing else is to do butj ] mow it in May or June; one man, with a common scythe can cut several' acres in a day. Farmers in the West make 30 g bushels to the acre and the same can be done here, or even 20 bushels ^ would make 4 barrels of nice tlour, j which at present prices would be $36 for about $10 expense. Now, flour r made at home is better than that we 1 have to buy; the bread is sweeter. I cau remember when there was wheat 5 ground and flour made not 20 miles 5 from Kingstree on old Pudding Swamp and 1 have not forgotten ^ how delicious the bread did taste made by the good old mothers in the j away bacK days when neighbors werej like brothers and the wicked were! i not always troubled, and ' Poor Con- | t rati" coold eat as mucn - \iany bread and "shortened" biscuits as any bad boy. I look beck once more s to the happy homes I used to visit? e the Eppses, Burgesses, Smiths uud McFaddins?never more to behold and hear ttteir winning voices. 1 Well, Mr Editor, 1 am afraid this will take more space than you have to spare, but as the season for sowr iug wheat will soon be here, Mr ji Dennis would be glad to bave yon r let the farmers know what he has - to say in regard to planting wheat. ? " PC. Complaint of Bad Roads. e Editor County Itecord:? Does any one in the connty realize what bad roads mean? There are certain portions of the roads in the lower i t part of Anderson township that the people fully realize what it is to try and travel a public road that is , mud and mire for miles. The road a leading from Barton branch to , Harmony church is almost beyond a passable condition and it is time for our road engineer to get busy and n help put these roads in a better condition, so that the people along this e road can get a doctor in time of sickness, if nothing more. 1 Some time ago the road engineer promised to let this road out on contract, but up to the present time we have Dot heard of such being done. It will greatly please the people to know that immediate steps are taken to better the condition of these roads and thereby help the community at large. ) Yours truly, il M M Powell. ?r Harpers, August 17. j. * Seared with a Hat Iron,' ?
