OAKLAND
Oakland, Feb. 2.?Very little is to
be said in connection with the present a
condition of affairs that now con- y
fronts the farmers in making pre># n
a rations for planting the new 15)15 f
crop, which is unquestionably must b
begin at an early date. Every year
in February the farmers are begin- tl
nig to place their orders for guano (,
and some even get it hauled home j
in this month, so that when the pretty
spring days come they can start n
putting it in the ground, but now this j a
fertilizer proposition is receiving j j.
very little attention and occupies but | M
a very small space in the minds of i c
some farmers. Now is the time to. a
every farmer to set apart a large
acreage to be planted in corn and b
if this is attended to now 1 am sure ^1
the all-talked-of cotton will not hold
such a permanent part considering g
the amount of land that already is s,
growing some grain crop. The ad- tl
vaneing prices on most all eatables a
and especially flour, is enough to a
make a farmer r?r any* r?rr?fe,sc!/>nal
man stop and think for a while just f;
what the future is sure to bring, if Ii
there isn't more food stuff raised on p
the farm. Just as long as our food
supply continues to be shipped to the a
warring nations who are giving very h
little attention to agriculture, iust
so long will prices advance here. So jr
every farmer should take this into
consideration when he begins plant- it
ing another crop and see that every- ,1;
thing that he needs is raised at home
and it will not be a bad idea to have r<
a surplus to be placed on the market. \V
I do not believe the people, as a <|
whole, would get mad with the com- jj
missioners if they would put forth m
an effort to have the culverts re. t<
paired that crosses the public roads, a:
Sonic of thorn are in a very bad con- n<
dition. which is very dangerous for v.
the traveling public to drive over. Sj
If I give the neighborhood justice tl
T am sure I can't boost it up as far e;
as health is concerned, for at this (M
writing, we have several cases ot h
sickness around Oakland, though not
serious. Perhaps it is due to the h
continuance of the unfavorable
weather. .Ji
For the benefit of the library, :?
ho\ supper will be given at Oakland
hool on Friday, February 12th. ]j
Instead of the customary program tl
ten of the pupils have challenged ten p,
other scholars, (non-attendants of i
Oakland) to an old fashioivd spelling | sj
match, the words to be chosen from in
Progressive Speller for first choice
and Paynes common words com- !( j<
monly misspelled for second choice. I h;
Also to ciphering match i:i rapid cal- I .M
dilations in rules, addition, subtrac-l
tion, multiplication and division, tc
Those wishing to accept the challenge in
will please notify the teacher, Mrs. : a
L. (). Belue, as tlie first ten appli- h?
cations will he accepted. Girls will !
bring boxes and the boys are urgoo ('
to bring their pocket books, not w
empty though.
The next Baptist Sunday School S
convention will be held with Duck
Pond church on May :50th, that being
the fifth Sunday.

SANTUC NEWS
Santuc, S. C., Feb. 1.?I am in i
; hurry, are you?
| If one sits up and takes a survey
of things, he will note that we hav
done very little work the past montli
January had a rainfall of 6.57'
hut about a normal mean tempera
ture of 42.3. February started witl
first days rain of 2.19" in abou
twelve hours and streams were re
ported to he very high. No doub
land has been badly washed, I havi
not yet been out.
Many of the latter fall sowing o
oats was killed by the freezes am
that necessitates much to be sowei
1 over if the weather will permit ii
time, and is so very wet now, tha
it will take a week at least to dr
off sufficient with plenty of sunshine
One of the truest sayings extan
is "idleness is the devil's workshop"
This holds good even with mules an<
; horses, if however, Satan ever tempt:
! a dumb brute to do bad things. The}
are mighty hard to manage after s
few days idleness. But when i
comes to people, especially younj
people, chronic idler or dead beat
the devil has a field rich unto harves
and he certainly runs his mowing
machine. One can see young negroe;
idling around and going from plav
to place, never trying to get a jol

I of the law, that ought to be doinj.
I service on the gang. But the worsi
thing of all is for the young whit?
people to become trifling that thej
will not do a lick of work and who trj
to be too genteel to turn tramps oi
who wear out their welcome as deaf
beats, and when one can no longei
furnish money and food to supporJ

JONESVILLE
Jonesville, Feb. 1.?The wind blew
stiff and cold gale from the north
unday up to bed time, but Monday
lorning it was blowing soft and hot
rom the southwest, which soon
rought thi> usual downpour of rain.
There is a report about Jonesville
hat the Southern Railway is going
a run their train through from
.ockhart to Jonesvile.
The streets and roads are getting
luch better, Monday morning one
utomobile came in from the country
ist week, the only one I have seen
loving for several days. The motors
ycles and horsepower vehicles have
hard time to get about.
Our cotton weighed up about 100
ales last week, the price being for
he best 8 cents.
Some of the curious say today is
round hog day, but I never could
ee any thing in it. I don't suppose
here is a ground hog in the country
nd if there is he knows nothing
bout the weather.
Mrs. J. H. Templeton and her

Our people are discussinp the pood
jads problem just now, which is no
onder for the roads are in bad conition,
but they will always be bad
i the winter time when we have so
luch rain as we have had this win- i
>r. The roads were almost as pood j
5 plank roads last summer and fall, ]
a trouble to pet about then, and they
'ill be in pood condition apain in the
irinp when the rains hold up and
le winds blow. No amount of mon0
can keep all our roads in poo<\
ondition such winters as we have

There is an outbreak of cholera
in this section now and is assuvnii
quite a formidable aspect, .lust af
tor Christmas Mr. Travers Jeter had
a young Berkshire sow to get sic!
and lie tried to get the State vetinary
hero to diagnose the case but
ho would not come. A short while
after another one was taken sick,
no one thought it was cholera. Saturday
morning a 500 pounder and a
fine specimen of the Berkshire hog
died. And the fact that Mr. Stark
Austin had several sick in town, they
got busy to get the veterinary here,
they had to ask the governor for
him, but the county Demonstration
Agent, Mr. F. W. Carnell, came down.
The dead hog was cut up and examined
and the case was pronounced
cholera. Then it seemed that some
ining was providential, for the porter
of the special Xo. 27, got a passenger
off here for Union through some mistake,
a Mr. Goodwin, a graduate of
Flemsnn and who had studied vetcrnarv
science and he visited the Austin
herd of hogs and pronounced the
affection cholera. We can hear of
more hogs sick and dying all around
us. Some have heen thrown to the
dogs and buzzards and this malady
may clean up the hog business in ;nis
section. People are preparing to
inoculate, but many hogs already
have the germs in them. There are
some fine hogs in our country. My
next door neighbor, Dr. Jeter, has
a line sow with kix as pretty three
weeks old pigs as one need wish to
see and they are on the adjoining
lot to where the other Mr. Jeter's
hog died and in easy reach by the
germ carrier, the english sparrow,
an easy medium to spread the disease
to every pen in the community.
Since writing the above, Mr. Davis,
Mr. Allan Nicholson's farm manager
came down with Mr. Carnell and is
inoculating hogs and there may be
about a bundled that will receive
the treatment, but as has been said
many may already have the germs
in their systems and will die.

SEDALIA
Sedalia, S. Feb. 1.?As the
weather is so bad and so much rain
I'm compelled to say something about
it. The farmers are getting out of
heart about their grain crop, a it
is getting so late and no prospects
foon of the land getting in plowing
order. There are some few farmers
in this community that have not got
their wheat in and also other grains
as well.
The relatives and friends regret
very much to hear of Mr. Brooks
Hobo's sickness.
Misses Flossie Wilburn and Mollis
Fincher are the quests of Missed
Initio and l.iz/.ie Hollis today.
Mr. Claude Sparks and James I'.en^
nett, Jr., went "bike riding yesterday
afternoon a little while.
The residence of Mr. W. N. liobo
came very near getting burned up
recently; the house caught fire near
the chimney and the fire was thought
to have been from it. The house was
damaged very little, and nothing destroyed.
