SOUTH CAROLINA'S BUSY FARMER

Greenville county has one farmer (and
doubtless many moro) who has never
bought Western wheat and Western flour.
There is little that this farmer and his
family consume that is not raised at
home. Net oven does his table rice come
from Georgetown or Beaufort. IL is a
Greenville county product and il is said
that the low country rice is not superior
TO IL.
This gentleman makes his own sirup.
He makes his own oats and barley, and
he produces large number Of bales OF
cotton. The horses and mules that he
works are native to his farm. He has
been known to saw timber from his own
forest and send it to n factory, getting a
part of it back in the form Of furniture.
This farmer Is not great politician. He
Is not even free silver man. He reads
the newspapers carefully. He is not de-
pendent, but he is very busy man. He
is so poor that hs rarely has day to spend
away from his own large plantation or
plantations. He Is on his farm with tho
regularity that cashier is at his desk
In bank and as many days in the year
and as many hours in the day. There are
farmers who are able to indulge in more
leisure than is this Greenville farmer,
but in other respects they are poorer than
he iS-Green sille Is. q. } News.

OLD LONDON WATERMEN.

Ferryiug people across the river had
always been the most lucrative part of
the watermen's trade, and down to 1910
only three Observation-Disclosures, Black
friare and London bridge-existed to in
terfere with it, nut by 1919 three more
bridges-Vauxhall, Waterloo and South
wark--had sprung into existence. People
could walk across quicker than they
could be rowed, and the end of Mr.. Water
man began to be visible. The long and
laborious rows to Greenwich or Chelsea
remained but the fares did not compen-
safe for the length 0f time occupied, ana
the "short stages" and buses out into
the profits increasingly. Theu came the
steamers by way of final catastrophe.
The Waterman hated this innovation with
bitter hatred Everything they could
do to prejudice people against it was
done. every trumpery accident magnified;
many even refused to row passengers out
TO them. When the steamer Queen Ade-
laide was burning oil Greenwich in
April, 1885, they not only absolutely de-
clned to help but actually shouted for
JOY at the event.
At the beginning of the century no
fewer than ~, coo watermen had licenses
in London and within few miles above
Dnd below 1t.
Even In 1Si7 there were couple of
thousand. but folks were afraid Of the
wash of the steamers ana the Increased
rush Of the tide owing to the removal of
old London bridge. and, as factor in
the conveyance Of metropolitan passenger
traffic tho watermen quite disappeared
before the forties were out.
