a Self-Supporting Farmer.

From the Greenville Is. c. News.
Greenville county has one farmer fand
doubtless many more) who has never
bought western wheat and western -four
There is little that this farmer and his
family consume that is not raised at home
Not even does his table rice come from
Georgetown Or Beaufort. II is a Green
vile county product and it is said the low
country rice is not superior to it. This gen.
tleman makes his own strip. He makes
his own oats and barley and he produces a
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 il 10
factory, getting part of it back in the
form of furniture. This farmer is not
great politician. He is not even a free
silver man. He reads the newspapers
carefully. He is not poor. He is not de-
pendent. But he is very busy man. He
is so poor that he rarely has a day TO
spend away from his own large plantation
or plantations. He is on his farm with the
regularity that a cashier is at his desk in
a bank and many days in the year and
as many hours in the day. There are
farmers who are able to indulge i'm more
leisure than is this Greenvilie farmer but
in other respects they are poorer than ne
is.

Railroad Ticket Slot Machines.

There is a rcvel little convenience IN

might be adopted by the railways OF the
United States. Passengers for suburban
stations, instead of going to the regular
ticket office and standing i'm line for sew
Ell al minutes sometimes so long that they
miss their train. go to an automatic
box, and by dropping nickel in the slot
or a coin equivalent to the amount of the
fare, can supply themselves with a ticket
in an instant. There are rows of these
boxes erected against the wall in con-
venient locations. The name of the town
is painted IN large letters. and underneath
the price cf the ticket. If il happens to be
a mark, you slip the coin into the slot ana
press the button, and cardboard ticket
falls into the receiver which the passenger
picks up. passing on without the slightest
delay. The whole transaction does ret oc-
cupy half a minute, and the automatic ma
chine never makes a mistake in the ticket
or the change.
There is a similar arrangement for Sc
