'22.?There was a IT" Rood shower of rain fell here Wed1 nesday evening and it put the ground ^ ^ I in good oiaier for sowing turnip seed, /rl Last Thursday Mr. C. N. Alexander j and I spent a pleasant day together i out at Mr. John Shell Pickens. Mr. ! Pickens had bought a cider mill from J Mr. Alexander at the hardware store ! and we were invited by Mr. Pickens J to take dinner with him and drink [ cider. Well, Mrs. Pickens had one of J th good country dinners, such as J tow. folks don't often have at home. J Mr. Pickens said not a thing on his J table was bought except the sugar, J coffee, salt and pepper. Mr. Pickens ; has a good apple orchard and up to ; this time he has made 300 gallons of J cider. He will make vinegar out of ' most of the cider. Mr. Pickens has a ; good corn and cotton crop and will J make corn enough to do him next year. J He says he owes no money and has ? some money on hand. His farming ? is composed of his wife and four chil! dren, two girls and two boys, all I grown, and they are a happy family, i Mr. Pickens has hogs to make his meat and good cows for milk and butter. [ lie has no automobile but has a nice S top buggy and a rural mail box nea 5 his home. There are many other such ! homes in the country but not near so J many as there should be. J This world is made up of all sorts J of folks and will be so to the end. | | I saw a young man the other day I j who works in the cotton mill. He was I 3 passing my home and he had a sack I 9 under his arm. I said, "John, where I 3 are you going?" "Moving to Trough J 3 Shoals." Got all your things in that sack?" "Yes, sir." "Got any money?" "No, sir." And this poor fel_____ low was happy. Since then I saw another fellow passing by with a bundle pkjfk under his arm. I inquired: "Where w are you going, Henry?" "Moving to )the Union cotton mill." "Got any ?* money?" "No." "All your stuff in that sack?" "Yes." This fellow was as happy as mortal man can possibly ^ be. The third man I met up with was *5^ a man of means,, lands stock, crops ?d and riding around in an automobile. This fellow was very much troubled ? and dissatisfied, complaining and sweltering in the heat and jill about Jthe condition of his crops vfed lands and losses by the floods. No pleasure lor satisfaction for him in this old X world. Now, Mr. Editor, who is the fiappy man in this world? Those ' with their broad acres, bank stock, merchandise stocks and bonds or the X farmer with his nice little country home out of debt and a bank account or "Rowd" Addis wi?h all his belonged ings in a croker sack swung across his arm moving from Jonesville to X the Union cotton mills? ^ Mr. J.

Telepnon4 KELTON Kelton, Aug. 19.?We are having hot and dry weather just now. We are needing rain very much. Late corn will be a failure as well as late cotton if it does not rain soon. I attended the campaign meeting today at Lockhart. Some of the candidates seem to be warming up considerably. The candidates for the legislature, Messrs. Hamblin and Hamilton, declare on the stump they will not support any bill for bonds for good roads. Mr. Duncan will not go with his hands tied, but he can say whether he is for or against any law that the people have voted down. Messrs. Butler and Cunningham have not expressed any way on the stump that I have heard of. There is one piece of legislation that will, in all probability, come before the next legislature, namely, whether they will pass a commission law or a law to appoint a commission accepting the proposition to duplicate our pro rata share of the $ 75,000,000 appropriated by congress for national highways. I never have seen the bill and the newspapers are silent on this law, so we do not know how to cast a vote for or against the men who are to represent us in the legislature. Is it possible the shrewd politicians are trying to run a blind calf over the people. It looks that way, as they have failed in their bond issue efforts. The people should always be informed on all questions. Our candidates for the house should state whether they are ! for or against this national highway proposition. This is a national highway and we may pass the law giving to the commission hundreds of thousands of dollars and not a foot of it be built in South Carolina or a few miles in the upper part of the State and wouldn't be worth a cent to the most of the State. This is a demo crane adminytration and I have always been taught that democracy was equal rights to all and specil privileges to none. What sort of legislation is that? How many miles of road will $150,000,000 build? Will it build one from New York to San Francisco? In my opinion it is a waste of money. What think ye? Mr. Candidate, let the voters of Union county and the State hear from you. Mrs. G. T. G.'s birthday was today. I came home Friday evening; told Mrs. G. T. G. that I had invited some relatives to her birthday dinner. She looked me in the face and said, "George, you know there is not a bit of meat on the place." I said, "Season the beans with lard." Fearing we might have some work I put on nay Sunday shirt and left immediately for Lockhart, but one of her sons and family had come and she tiad already cut that ham. [ Mrs. Joe Aycock, who has been visting on the ftidge, returned to her ^iome in Spartanburg last Friday. ^ Mrs. Thomas Vinson is somewhat iiiproved. Mrs. Henry Gault has not improved and they will carry her tomorrow to her brother's in Cherokee county. Mrs. Mary Page, who has been confined to her bed for months, is not expected to live many days. Rev. J. R. Copeland held his special meeting at Bethlehem, assisted by Rev. Mr. Kelly of Spartanburg. G. T. G. (I.eft over from last week) Oakland, Aug. 1?>.?For the past few days weather conditions have been ploughed since the wet season.
