DAIAELL NEWS "DOPE." - Crops Heilig Gathered?Preparations lUduu Made for Planting Oats and Vetch. Daltelli Oct. 11.?The weatiicr has cleared off and everybody is busy gathering cotton and other crops, so as to got through in time to sow oats. Boms of our farmers are going to plant vetch as an experiment and if they are successful With it this time, there will he a good deal of it put in next season. Services were held Sunday night at the Methodist church, conducted by the Presiding Elder, Uev. W. 1. Her? bert, who held the fourth quarterly conference of this .marge at the Church on Monday at 11 o'clock. The comer stone o:f the new school building will be laid Friday, the 17th by the Masonic fraternity of Sumter. Our people aie anticipating a nice time on that occasion. The public is invited to attend. Wo had the rain and wind last Week because of Which there was very little work .done on the farm and a good deal of cotton was scattered on the ground. Somebody said it was the West Indian storm. I do wish those West Indians would keep their storms over there among themselves. We have not the tinu to be bothered with themi we have our crops to gath? er. I believe though, they are rather a boisterojs set When they arc not having trouble among them? selves, they are disturbing other peo? ple. I saw in the New Yon: cotton re? port the other day, a private estimate from Georgia, of a 11,750,000 bale cotton crop for this year. I would Just like to know how that fellow enn tell how much cotton we are going to make. I have not se?n him around Dattel) estimating the crop, nor do 1 believe he can. I am glad he didn't come, for if he had I expect he would have wanted to take dinner with me, and I tell you it is a problem just now to get up something to eat. The green pea season is about over and the turnips are not fur enough ad? vanced and, yo\ know, I wrote you that the hens hum gone on a strike. It is true I have a pretty good sweet potato crop coming on, but they arc all yams and I don't reckon he loves anything but Georgia bucks. Well, I have heard it said that trouble never comes single. The pic? ture man was here a few days ago to enlarge me. I met him at the front door and told him 1 was large enough. Well, he says, I want to make you life-size. 1 told him I had been UCp size ever since I could remember and tried to bow and good day him off. 1 ut he would not bow and food day off worth a cent. He said lie wanted to see the lady of the house and I retty soon she was on the porch. Then I began to wink and make fac< at blm to leave, but he was so thick headed and Stupid, he never could take a hint until ho got that picttye. The last J saw of him he was going down the road grinning and 1 felt like setting the dogs on him, but 1 didn't want to disturb th<> coroner. Speaking of the coroner, makes me think of it. I hear that h<i says nobody wanted that office until he got it and worked Up and now Iber?' are other aspir? ants for it. Well, I And that prominence, like other things bring Its annoyances. Just let a fellow begin to rise In the World and everybody tix their eyes on him. They all get right polite then and begin to want business with him. I suppose they think he has plenty of money and its no trouble at all to help others. Why, 1 have gotten notice from two banks and let t< rs from two or three mroehants within the last few days stating that they wanted some money. MERCHANT HELD UP. J. 1*.
