late the hours at least, OF some OF the Ia
borers within its sound.
During the past week, raining some, cloudy
weather more and desire upon the part OF
the planters for fair weather most, that they
might gather their rapidly opening cotton.
Pretty often in the night and early In the
morning the bark fthe fox hounds and hun
ter's horns are heard upon the hills and In
the hollows In pursuit of Reynard, that willy
foe to geese and young pigs.
Last Monday and Tuesday this writer had
occasion to take trip into Anderson county
about n iftocn miles, He went one road and
returned another, and he was forcibly struck
with the very small urea planted in upland
corn. There were nothing but patches Of 1t, |
and they were few and far between, Ander.
son. like Abbevile, cannot boast of Its large |
number of acres of bottom land. A great |
deal OF such land has been turned into pas.
ture because Of Its uncertainty for a corn |
CROP If this loss Is not met by more than |
corresponding average of upland, there will |
be q very serious falling off IN the production |
OF this very important and indispensable |
serial. ! am forced TO conclude that the |
planters being 10 blame themselves for their |
present depressed condition, They alone
can get themselves out ofit, Neither the AL |
lance farmers movement, nor even Tillman |
as some seem to think, can do them any good |
whilst they fall TO rulse oil needed supplies.
