From Texas.

Mr.. EDITOR: After a very pleasant
visit to my old native home In your
County, where I spent several weeks with
relatives and old friends, am at home
again, having had safe and comfortable
Journey. AS did not get to talk to you
much, will attempt 70 give you few
points about our country, and you can
publish %Aem if you choose.
In the first place, want to say that out
here don't smell the ''Palmetto Tree on
the breaths of our people like I did while
In Anderson. It made me feel sad to see
nv old schoolmates and some of my kin
dred on the downward road to destruc-
ton. was offered several drinks Of The
vile stuff, but thank God have always
done better to let it alone.
Our soil here Is Of a black, sticky nature,
with no rocks, stumps, steep hills, brier
patches, crab grass, and very few negroes.
We don't use any fertilizers-note even the
stable composition our land. We count
on getting from one-half to three-quarters
of bale Of cotton from the acre, thirty to
sixty bushels of corn, and from fifty to
ninety bushels of oats. Wheat is uncer-
tain, but last year over twenty bushels to
the acre. Millet grows fne here. The
alfalfa clover is the best feed have ever
seen. It makes over ton to the acre,
and we NOW 1t three or four times year.
We don't pull much fodder.
We use machinery end sulky plows in
nearly all our work on the farm. My ten
year old boy can plow over seven acres Of
cotton in day, or cut, bind and pile ten
acres Of oats ia the same time with three
mules to my binder. This looks like work
when I compare 1t with the old oradleand
muscle power IL takes to run 1t.
We have another advantage. Our farms
are fenced with barbed wire, and We turn
in our horses and cattle whenever We want
to. We have hog law, and we keep the
best breeds in the world. suppose some
of your readers saw the sample 14O0
FOUNDER that was sent to the Worlds Fair
from Texas. We are also raising as fine
mules as any other country, and sell them
one-third cheaper.
We still offer inducements to good, So
Der people to settle among us In the way
of good land to work and good wages.
We have special Inducements to old maids,
for they generally find suitor the first
year. We pay from SIS to $l8 for good
hands on tho farm until cotton picking
time. when we pay from As to 80 cents per
hundred. It is poor hand that can't
pick 800 pounds every day. We have
some hands who can pick 600 pounds
day. Corn is cheap early in the fall, and
every body can raise their own meat, if
they want to. Land is priced according to
locality and Improvements. 1t ranges
from $40 to $1G0 an acre. The soil ranges
from one to fifteen feet deep. We have
plenty of good water and wood. Some Of
our farmers haul wood fifteen miles, but
they keep larger pile than those who
live right at it. Some burn coal, as 1t Is
cheaper-$4.50 and SIS per ton.

EDITORS INTELL1aENcER: Your call
for the oldest man in Anderson County
induces me to name Mr., Jonathan Pick
erell, Of Fork Township, who was born
in December, 1898, and Is therefore In his
96th year. He is native OF Greenville
County, but has lived In the Fork sixty
five or seventy years, and has been a re-
markable man in many respects.
Richly endowed with inventive and
mechanical capacity, he could make al
most anything he took fancy for
Small of stature and willowy OF frame, he
was in his prime remarkable for agility
and endurance. No less conspicuous has
been his intellectually, and be always
thought and acted for himself He was
strongly opposed to Secession, but his sons
promptly volunteered for the service of
the Southern Confederacy, and one Of
them was killed In battle.
In his early life his religious views were
somewhat at variance with the prevailing
dogmas, but III mature years be attached
himself to thu Methodist Church.
Until few years ago he never took any
doctors medicine" and wss probably
eighty-five before he swallowed his first
dose of castor oil. He has always had the
fullest confidence Of his neighbors, and In
the old regime he was one of the magis-
trstes for Anderson District.

The recent rains have stopped the agri-
