MR. HASRLDEN COMPLAINS jfj
Of the Method of Distributing Seed and ]
Working the Roads. I
Editor County Record:?
Will you please publish a few ^
rambling remarks on different subjects
that I think might be for the ^
good of the country.
In the first place I want to thank
the government for the supply of
seed distributed in our storm strick- J ^
en county, which, had it been prop-!
erlv handled, would have been a;w
great blessing to our community, i b<
But it was poorly shared out. In ty
/nwilo rrr\t %
some cases iwu iu uuc lanmj ^
two shares?father and son. I know : <,
this to be the case in two instances.
In another, an old blacksmith received
one bushel corn, one bushel> M
peas and one-half bushel velvet beans fr
and he never plants any outside of a tr
garden. But that is not the worst, ac
One man received seed?one bushel ial
corn, one bushel peas and one-half |ac
bushel beans. This man, I think, is th
worth $15,000.00. In a mile of j b;
this man is a widow who farms for of
a living and who did not receive a
seed. Was this the *vay the gov- j st
ernment intended these seed should tli
be distributed? I say, No! 1 hi
I don't know who is to blame. I to
suppose the government employed a
man to attend to this business and : la
he might have done the best he could, m
If he did, put him out and get a bet- sj
tea man, for at this time we cannot si
afford to have any makeshifts in the tli
government's employ. si:
I fully endorse President Wilson's n<
- - t liL
plaD for raising an army ana am j u
ready to serve in any place that 1 a]
can to make food crops go to the te
front. Why, I would do the hum- m
blest duty, if it was oDly to hold a ar
private's horse. If it broke the m
bridle I would grab him by the tail ic
if so commanded by my country.
I also want to say something about so
working our roads. I live on the tr
road leading from Hemingway to vi
Kingstree. My proposition is this: I w
will fix and keep in good condition a n;
short section of road near mv house
if the neighbors in Hemingway will
bring it to my house and the next
nearest resident on the road will
join in and continue the work to
Kingstree. If any and everybody
along the road will join me in the ft
movement, let us meet and divide ^
the roads and we will have good
roads and we can do it before breakfast.
Pi
Have patience, Mr Editor, just a of
few more words and I am tbrough pi
for the present.
I see in the News and Courier and
The County Record complaints from *
farmers all over the country about tx
larks pulling their corn. Well, I th
? "?* Oftii a marrnntoH npo. L.
WCUJW W JVM ? VTWIIMMWV y,
ventative. When you plant your Q|
corn, about the time you think it is
peeping through watch the field.
"Get up before the lark." If you tc
see the birds have pulled one hill in
shell down some corn and when he aj
comes back for more he will eat the
corn on top of the ground and will
not pull a bite. Pulling corn is work
and Mr Lark has been associated ai
with the white folks so long that he lo
will not work if he can make a liv- p
ing without it.
Well, I will close. I am a poor
speller and a bad writer, but I am a
good mathematician. I know that tl
two and two make four and one and It
one make two. Respctfully, t|

"These spells of stomach trouble '
arted like an attack of colic, and j
