Benson, July 26:?Our boys who are in the county contest for the j largest yield of corn per acre are keeping very quiet. We believe each 1 one thinks he is going to win and 1 and wants to surprise the other fellow when the result is announced. Your scribe has seen the boys' prize 1 acres and considers them an excel- < lent effort on the part of each of these young tillers of the soil. The /wrn is r?l?ntj?d on five-foot rows. twelve inches apart on the bed, ex-1 cej t one piece which is planle 1 on , f ji r-foot rows. It is now tasseling [ om with one to two ear shoots to J' the stalk; the stalks are perfectly. green from the bottom blades to the ! top. Suppose the acre averages one ear to each stalk?we can count on I 8,800 stalks in the field?now, let's take 100 ears for the bushel (from 75 to 100 are said to shell one bushel): and dividing the number of stalks by 100,we have a calculated yield of 88 bushels to one acre, if this estimate be any ways near correct, this corn of the young farmers will increase, very much the yield per acre produced on -their parents' farms. The amount on one acre will be enough to feed one mule for one year. Crops generally in this section are j better than some we have heard of elsewhere, yet the rains have been pretty equally distributed. Some sections may have had theirs first, but, after all, the clouds continued U lioat around from place to place, precipitating the moisture on the just and the unjust alike. However, | for the past several days we have, had fair weather,allowing the farmers to do some much needed work. The tobacco men at Kingstree say 1 that our Cedar Swamp lands are su- , i perior to the famous "Pudding Swamp" section for the production of a fine grade of tobacco. While the weed this year is not so good as it might have been, yet the crop shows up fairly well. Mr Walter Phillips left last wetk for the "wild and woolly West".! He will cast his lot in Frederick City, Oklahoma. We wish the young man | God-speed on his journey and success in his far-away home. Mr Nabor D Lesesne, the courte- 1 ous assistant cashier of the Bank of Kingstree, with his wife and chil- ' dren, are spending a few days at Mr 1 John McGill's. This is Nabor's old ] home,where he has a host of friends made during his boyhood days. Miss Julia Phillips of Charleston is visiting relatives in this eommunity. Mr Henry Harper of Lowndesville < \isited friends (a friend, perhaps,) ( last week, remaining several days ' where abides a fair young damsel. , O, ye lass and lad! j] Rev W A Fairy of Kingstree will j preach at Cedar Swamp Methodist ' church next Sunday.

Citizen of Rome Appeals to Road Engineer for Better Service. Editor County Record:? Can you tell what has become of our Supervisor? The sight of him would be good down here. Our roads are in such a fix that in places; they are almost impassable. The people living between Indiantown and Union can scarcely get to church on Sundays. < > Last week Judge Wilson visited relatives in this section and while! * * - - * * : driving to see one 01 tnem one 01 his horses got caught in a bridge bruising it very much; had it not been for the Judge's good horsemanship it might have caused the loss of a very fine horse, for which the county would have been liable. Some good Samaritan subsequently cut a pole and put in place of the broken board. Now, your writer hates to complain. but there has not been a thing done to our roads in over a year; nor do I want a job of fixing roads as 1 could not take time to do it at any price. It is purely from a philanthropic standpoint that I write and I feel that that we are entitled to better to better service than this at the hands of our Supervisor. With the very kindest feeling towards him and best wishes to you and the good old Record. A Roman. Rome, July 23. Suttons Sittings. I Suttons.July 26:?MrsM S Ogburn visited her sister.
