Oakland, Sept. 29.?The farmers were glad to see the rain last week which came in such a calm moderate way?as often quoted, "It was a red land soaker." Some pea vine hay had had been mown and was lying on the ground exposed to the rain, but was not damaged very much; It is an evil wind that doesn't blow good to some one. The ground being thoroughly wet has given the farmers other employment besides picking cotton, which now seems to be a very worthless product, and that is, preparing his land and sowing a very large ac reage in oats and clover, and a few acres prepared and well fertilized to be sown in wheat. The South must raise more food products and less of the fleecy staple which she has so long boosted as being her money crop. The West seems to be the booster this time, even though the corn crop in sections of the West is very short this year. It is demanding a good price just like our cotton would have done if there had been only a ten or eleven million bale crop made. The 1914 corn crop of Missouri alone will bring the farmers one hundred twen ty-two and one-half million dollars? thirty-five million dollars more than it would be under normal conditions. This is quite convincing to us that the price is higher when the demand greatest. The state of Kansas will realize one hundred and sixty-five million dollars for its wheat crop this year. The above is just one corn crib and one wheat bin that is very often illustrated as being the source from which the South feeds its razorbacks and multitudes of people. The cotton crop is being picked and ginned very rapidly?there is not very much being held in the seed as was first suggested as being a good plan to hold cotton. I believe the cotton that has already been ginned and i l ieu back home should be stored under shelters instead of being exposed to the weather as is being done all over the country. Last Sunday was set apart as Orphanage day at our Sunday school. The Connie Maxwell was mentioned and all responded with a willingness as was shown by the nice contribution that was so quickly collected. I must make special mention of our flourishing little Sunday school. The enthusaistic little people of the school have attended regularly all during the hot summer and have done a good work. Five of our little people have been converted to Christ through this little Sabbath school and weekly prayer meetings which we have been holding during the summer. My dear Christian friends of the county, bewi n tne little people while they are easily influenced. We greatly need their cooperation in this great and good work. From the beginning make them feel that their work is just as necessary as ours. Little Dorothy. the fourteenmonths-old child of Mr. and Mrs. J -IHATIOf 'RAYER FOR PE* UNDAY.

Neb. 1 YOUNG WHITE MAN IS BRUTALLY SLAIN IN ROAll Lawton Jackson is Slain by Negroes. ?Accused are Held. North, Sept. 28.?Lawton Jackson, a young white man, was brutally murdered near here yesterday afternoon about one-fourth of a mile from , the Calhoun county line, in Orangeburg county, and Charley Walker and Sam Dooley, both negroes, are in jail charged with the killing. Jackson, it i seems, was driving quietly along the road and met the negroes who appeared to be drinking and proceeded to assault him with the staff of a buggy umbrella, striking him several blows on the head. He was also struck with a pistol. Jackson walked about f>0 yards to , the house of a negro by the name of Burbank where he was cared for. A physician was immediately summoned and everything possible was done but he died about 9 o'clock. Lawton Jackson bears the reputation of being a quiet young man. Charley Walker is considered a dangerous character, he having been in court a number of times for violations of the laws. He was pardoned by the governor in February last, the day after he was convicted in magistrate's court for violation of a labor contract. Sam Dooley's reputation is not good. Sheriff Salley of Orangeburg was notified of the\ killing and he in turn notified Sheriff Hill of Calhoun to go to the scene of the difficulty, the negroes having jfone on in the direction of St. Matthews. Dr. Sturkie and J. M. Amaker had captured one of the po??roes before the arrival of Sheriff Hill and assisted the sheriff in the capture of the other and they were both safely landed behind the bars.
