BE MADE sls6 ON MEAT AND BUTTER.
The Profit Which a Good Farmer Of
AbbeviIle County Realized This
Winter From u Good Pasture.

MIR ROBERT A. HADDoN Of Antreville Is
the right kind OF Il farmer. In the Spring
and Summer and Fall, when he Is busy with
planting. cultlvating and gathering his cot.
ton and corn crops, he turns his cattle and
hogs into the pastures. Without expense OF
labor or money on his part, the cattle and
hogs gather the grasses ard turn them into
flesh and milk. The milk is utilized IN It's
season, and when the corn and cotton have
been gathered and stored away, Mr.. Haddon
then has time to give attention to his cattle
and hos. From we'll filled barns he takes the
necessary food for his stock, and even at
this time he has not yet exhausted the crop
OF 1889. He has old corn yet.
Since last October Mr.. Haddon has sold of
OF his place Sl85 worth OF meat and butter
beef pork. lsausage, butter-the latter he
has sold lS0 pounds.
Nearly all of the slS5 was brought In this
winter without other expense than the
trouble Of looking after the stock while fat
tening and growing. There was perhaps
more clear profit on that $lS5 worth OF butter
and meat than there would be $500 worth OF
cotton.
AS no farmer in this country can succeed
without:planting, 30 no farmer can accom-
plish the best results without pastures aud
cattle to gather the grass which would other
wise 60 TO waste.

all Seasons.

Mr.. ]. f. Taggart, Of the Savannah side Of
the county Is one OF the prosperous farmers
OF Abbeville county. He Is man OF some
twenty eight years, who commenced life with
no other capital than health and a determi-
nation to succeed. He bought u small farm
several years ago, but since then he has found
that place too small, and now he is the owner
OF several hunIred acres OF land, a part Of
which he fences with barbed wire. Instead
OF buying mules and hiring hands TO work
the whole place, he divides his energy, and
puts n reasonable number Of cattle on his en-
closed lands to gather the grass which they
convert In to meat and milk without cost to
him. He doesn't have to QUARREL with them
about going to work early on Monday morn
ipg, and he never has an argument with
them about the necessity OF going TO town on
Saturdays or the importance OF attending
picnics In May, or religious rows in July. He
buys the Industrious kind Of cattle that
works six days In the week and Sunday too
In the Fall they turn In all the profit 10 their
owner
SO Mr.. Taggart like Mr.. r. A. Haddon
makes money III both summer and winter
and both are on the highway TO fortune. bul
MIR. Taggart lacks one thing-a wife. He
should seek out some good woman who
would be willing to help him.

The Columbia Canal and COlumbia'S
Big Boom.

q AS the Press and Banner in times past has
not favored the building Of the Columbia
canal, we desire now to say that no one re-
joices more than we do at Columbias good
fortune in selling out to rich syndicate who
5expsct at an early day to put up large cotton
mills.
Wheu we opposed the canal, 1t was the
property OF the State, and we lacked conn
depce In the fnal success OF the enterprise
It was solely because of our lack OF conn
dence In 1t that We opposed the spending OF
money on 1t by the State, but now since the
( city has proven that we were wrong and thaI
they were right, 1T are hoped that the city
folk and the Press and Banner may get to-
gether.
8 We congratulate Columbia for gettingrid OF
a great debt and we congratulate that city on
the prospect OF great growth In population
and q notable increase in business.

GROUND PLAN OF TOWER.

The tank tower possesses many adVan-
tages over the old method. II larger tanks
be used it saves the expense Of lead lining,
which Is absolutely necessary when the
tank Is placed in the house. A cedar or
cypress tank can be made which Is not only
cheaper, but does not contaminate the wa
ter rs lead always does. The principal
tank can be placed high enough in the
tower to be thoroughly efficient IS
fire extinguisher. II desired two tanks
can be used; one, the most important, to be
placed in the top of the tower, the other
below, at height where 1t can receive the
overflow from the upper tank. and from
them pipes are laid to supply the various
buildings In case Of a leak In the house
the water can be shut of instantly where
the pipes enter the buildings by stop COCK
placed there for that purpose.
The water tower here illustrated Is 25
feet in diameter and SO feet in height, is
securely braced and bolted together, and is
yheathed with one inch lumber on the out
side and shingled, with lookout on the
top which affords q fine view OF the spr-
rounding landscape. It Is f1nished inside
with yellow pine, and has a stairway lead

Try It.

When 8. T. Coleridge was asked,
"Can YOU prove the truth of Christi
anity 2" he answered, "Yes, try It,"
We do not underrate the other evil
dences of Christianity. To many they
are altogether convincing. But the
evidence which is always convincing
Is simple experiment. Let man
honestly try the power of religion In
his own life, and the result will al
ways be satisfactory. Did any man
ever live truly religious life, and az
terward regret 1t, or doubt the power
and truth of religion? There is no
such case on record. Men often have
doubts about the truth of religion be-
cause they do not fairly weigh the evi-
dence. Bishop Butler we'll said: IF
there are any persons who never set
themselves heartily and In earnest to
be informed in religion If there are
any who secretly wish it may not
prove true; and are less attentive to
evidence than to difficulties, and more
to objections than to what Is said In
answer to them, these persons will
scarce be thought in a likely way 0
seeing the evidence of religion though
it were most certainly true and capa-
BILE of being ever so fully proved. 1t
may be just as true that certain med
icine will cure q certain disease, as
that the three angles of triangle are
together equal to two right angles
but 1t cannot be proved In the same
way. TO know that the medicine will
cure the disease, you must try 1t. So
q man may satisfy himself of the pow
er and truth of religion. Let him try
it. Christianity Is the cure for sin.
The man that fairly tries it will be sat-
isfied. The evidences Of religion are
many, and when taken together are
conclusive; yet the truth of religion
cannot be demonstrated by the mathe-
matical process. The subject does not
admit of this kind of proof, but 1t does
admit of proof quite as satisfactory;
proof as convincing as that food will
satisfy hunger and sustain strength
and life. "If any man will do. His
will, he shall know of the doctrine
whether it be of God"
When q man has honestly and thor.
oughly tried religion, and found 1t
worthless, let him discard 1t. Such
man has nowhere been found.

The Peoples Journal.

It is so seldom that one editor speaks good
naturedly TO another, that we lift our hat 10
the Pickens Journal, and express the wish
that that paper may live forever.
The Journal, however, seems to have taken
too much to heart our recent remarks about
new papers.
We look at the newspaper business as le-
Ultimate and proper one for anybody, who
chooses 70 engage in it, and what we said was
meant in no unkindness to anybody or any
new paper.
Ordinarily, any property can be bought al
fair valuation, and in fields which are fully
served with newspapers, 1t would generaliy
be cheaper to buy out the old paper, even at
large advance on its actual value, than TO en-
cage In the effort to establish another paper
which would take the field from the old one.
Suppose, for instance, any number OF our
own citizen in Abbeville county should de-
sire TO 60 into the oil mill business. We think
1t would then be advisable for them to buy
. stock In the no ill already built, rather than
try to establish new one, to break down the
old company which now fully serves this per-
pie.
Would not the same rule apply to the print
ing business The public are conservative In
the natter Of newspapers, and when people
have taken paper for a long time, they will
not always lay 1t down for even better one
For this reason, we believe 1t Is generally
cheaper to buy out the established paper, than
1t is to kin the old one, even If it were an as
sured fact that the old ono could be killed.
That is all that we meant to say, namely !:
That the new papers might have found IT
cheaper to buy the old one, than 1t Is to es-
tablish new papers.
SAnybody can start newspaper, and
when excited almost anybody is willing
to pay something for the pleasure Of printing
it. but the time will surely come when the
owners OF non-paying newspapers Will get
tired, and will find various good and sufficient
reasons to assign to the public for turning
IL over to some one else.
Our new contemporary was so good natured
that. we hope TO say nothing at all to which he
may take exception. We always try to be
more polite than 1.-THE other fellow"
:. In conclusion. neighbor, we hope that we
may always be good friends and that you and
! your paper may live long and prosper all the
time.
