Iggested by Mr J G Anderson, the
Resident of the Rock Hill Buggy

to a large extent all over the

could take his corn and have it shelled
and sacked. His corn put up in
that condition makes it immediately
marketable, and it becomes at
i once a money crop. The banks of
South Carolina and of the Southern
States would as readily loan money
on corn, properly sacked and warehoused,
as they would on cotton.
The merchants and brokers would
as readily buy it as the cotton
buyers buy cotton. The only things
we need in order to make the corn
crop as much of a money crop as the
cotton crop are corn shellers and
aackers.
After looking into the matter, it
strikes me as a very singular thing
that our people have not long ago
established in every one of our
towns and cities corn shellers and j
sackers- The outlay necessary for J
this business is practically irsignifi
cant, and the good that it will do
can hardly be approximated at this
time. 1
If the farmers over the cotton- ]
i
growing States will take this matter 1
in hand and try to have some one in {
each town establish a corn sheller ]
and sacker, they will have immedi:
ately created a market for their (
corn. If they will go farther and j
demonstrate, by actual figures, j
which they can do, that a farmer
; with one plow who will plant 25 i
acres of corn, and will use 500 i
; pounds of fertilizer, and make 30
bushels per acre, and follow that |
crop with peas and make no more
than one-half a ton per acre, will
1 make more out of this crop, selling *
i his corn at 70c per bushel, than he t
will make out of cotton, making 10 ]
bales to the plow and selling it at i
12c per pound. This will immedi- J
ately do more towards aiding the J
curtailing of the cotton crop than ,
almost any other plan. There is no ]
crop grown in the South that re- 1
quires more time and trouble than
the cotton crop. There is hardly
any crop that we grrow that requires
less labor, less expense and less ]
trouble than the corn crop and peavine
hay. One plow worked for 1
wages raising corn and peavine hay, J
exclusively, on the present price of (
corn at 95c per bushel, allowing 10c i
per bushel for shelling and sacking,
and granting that the farmer will
work 25 acres, and that he will raise (
1 30 bushels per acre, could easily
feed his mule, pay for the labor and
clear $425 per year.
Can this be done by raising cotton
i at 12c per pound and raising 10
: bales to the plow? ,
To put in a corn sheller and sack- '
' er, on a small scale, the outlay of :
. money would amount to very little,
f A two-hole corn sheller and sacker
' would cost about $100, and a gaso- ;
i line engine to do the work would
' cost not over $150. Every town in
; South Carolina,however small,ought
I to be able to induce some one to put
. up an outfit like the above, and in i
; larger markets we ought to have a
; thoroughly equipped granary,ho that
they would be in a position not only 1
i to shell and sack all the corn proi
duced in the neighborhood, but to
store it,insure it and issue warehouse
i reeeipts for the same, so that the
I farmer would be able to use his
warehouse receipts for the purpose
> of borrowing money. With u little

BOSTON PREACHER CONFESSES.
I
ro Murder of Former Sweet- j
heart?Sentenced to Die. j
Boston, January 4:?Rev C V T I
Richeson, formerly pastor of the
[mmanuel Baptist church, of Cam- I
made a written confession C
Saturday that he poisoned his for- E
mer sweetheart, Avis Linnell.
The statement was given to his! E
counsel who made the confession J A
jublic at one o'clock Saturday after- J p
noon. | ft
The confession bearing Richeson's' E
signature reads, "I hereby confess E
;hat I am guilty of the offense of j
which I stand indicted." S
It gives no details. h
Mi3S Linnell died suddenly in the ! ?
iT M C A building in Boston and the ^
lircumstances surrounding her death
were so suspicious that an investigation
was made. Inquiry led to the G
DelieJ: that she had been poisoned i
and suspicion pointed strongly to j ^
Rev. Mr. Richeson. He was arrest-' p
?d ar.d lodged in jail. A few weeks
ago he mutilated himself horribly:
with a piece of tin and is just now . >
recovering from it. The trial was ! p
to have begun next week. i p
The full text of the confession i
follows: *
"Boston, Januarv 3, 1912. L
"John LLee, Esq., William Morse J R
Esq., Philip R. Dunbar, Esq: Ip
"Gentlemen: Deeply penitent for p
ray sin and earnestly desiring as far
is in my power lies to make atone- ?
ment, I hereby confess I am guilty N
)f the offense of which I stand indicted.
j
"I am moved tff this course by
no inducement of self benefit or
leniency. Heinous a3 is my crime. F
God has not wholly abandoned me, I
and my conscience and manhood,
however depiaved and blighted, ^
will not admit of still further
wronging by public trial her, whose
pure young life I have destroyed. \
Under lashings of remorse I have j
suffered and am suffering the tor- f
tures of the damned. In this I
find a measure of comfort; in my ^
mental anguish I recognize there is
still, by mercy or tne Master, Bome j
remnant of the Divine spark of Rood- _
neas still lingering with me. I could
wish to live only l>ecause within
some prison's walls 1 might in some
small measure redeem my sinful f
past, help some other despairing
soul and at last find favor with my e
God.
"You are instructed to deliver t
this to the district attorney or the B
judge of the court. j,
"Sincerely yours,
Clarence V T Richeson." v
