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.
