It will ruin our entire county if thepeopletio not in 1910 plant a plenty of food-stuffs to supply their homes and raise more liveIt is utterly impossible for farmers to make cotton and buy corn,hay, bacon and flour at fancy prices. * The subject of paramount interest in our little town is how to encourage our farmers to go forward, improve their farms, raise a plenty of grain, hogs, cattle, horses and mules,as well as truck and tobacco.

Hunting In Berkeley. Messrs ii G' McElveen, H J Burgess and H A Kennedy, of the Hebron section, were over in Berkeley county, nearCordesville, last week chaperoning a party of sportsmen from "'way down East," who make annual pilgrimages to this part of the State for the hunting privileges afforded. The party from the effete East more specifically their home is New Canaan. Connecticut comprised the following members: Messrs Allen Patterson, William Patterson, F Wolfel, Vincent Bossa and Guy Orr. The expedition was well equipped with guns and ammunition and well-trained dogs. Fine sport was enjoyed, partridges, wild turkeys and other small game being abundant in t Vn + coi-tirtn WilUb tJVVkiVMt The best hour is"Town Talk" at Farmers Supply Co. =New ( auALm >e of Shoes99 OR MEN It *1 factort in the shoe oimtioo lily.

In the Hearing Before Supreme Court the Case Takes a Peculiar Turn. The hearing- in the Rutledge county election contest was held before the supreme court in Columbia last Monday. Attorney Welch represented tbe petitioners, (that is, the new county advocates,)while Messrs LeRoy Lee and J Harry Lesesne of Williamsburg and Clarendon, respectively, appeared on behalf of the State Board of Can __ I vassers, whose decision that the election on the ne* bounty question was valid an < legal had been protested by th petitioners. In his argument, Mr Welch frankly stated that he would not attack the legality of the election in Williamsburg, but would base his argument to nullify the election upon the alleged irregularities in Clarendon county. Whereupon Associate Justice Wood asked Mr Welch what he had to gain if he succeeded in convincing the court that the election was illegal in Clarendon, when he conceded it to be legal in Williamchnrrr Mr UVlrll took the ground that if he could show the Clarendon election to be illegal, then the whole election was null and void, and along this line proceeded with his argument. When the attorneys for the opposing side were ready to make their reply they were told joods for T The Old Reliable Brand . 20 Per Cent.

We take this to mean that the supreme court had already decided to sustain the finding of the State T\ * * a < J i 1 A Doara 01 uanvassers ana xoai any argument from the attorneys representing that side of the question would be supererogatory. If this be the correct view, the question of creating the county of liutledge, as contemplated in the election last August, is settled for four years at least. PROGRAMME OF BETHLEHEM UNION.
