The Way Things Were Done In
the Old Times.

The very smart young people
of this day, when everything to
wear may be bought ready made
and much of the food, cooked AMI
ready for ir mediate use, may be
handed down from the store
shelves, and transportation to,
market is as easy 1000 miles as it
is 1O0,may be interested in some
of the primitive methods of their
ancestors rs to 100 years ago,
Even as late as 1880 to 1910,
Christmas turkeys were driven
from the upper counties to Columbia,
Angnsta and Charleston. Tobacco
was rolled in hogsheads to market,
an axle going through the hogshead
and shafts attached to the ends of
axle. A horse or mule was the
motive mower.
All plow stocks were made at
home. Even the drawing chains
and all irons for farm use were
made by the ueighboring black.
smith. The uails that were used
in building houses we're hand
made. Hinges, latches and pot
hooks, pot-racks and many kitchen
conyenienesss were made in the
shops at home. Seventy-fve years
ago there was hardly q ready
made suit of clothing or pair of
shoes or boots in a store for sale.
Home made clothing was worn by
women and men. They slept under
home made quilts and blankets.
The table linen or cotton was spun
and woven by the women. Goods
were hanled from Columbia in
wagons up as late as 1850. The
price for hauling to this county
was rs cents to $1.00 q hundred
pounds. There were men in those
davs who did nothing but drive
wagons the year round. Some of
them were tramp wagons, like the
tramp steamers we have now on the
high seas. If WAGNER could get
a load to any market he would
carry it, and if he found freight
there for a distant place he would
load up and start. Just SO he was
loaded and getting a fair price, he
did not care where he was going.
All cooking was done in open fire
places in ovens and skillets. 1t was
expected that every family that
had anything would have two pots
a small and large one.
Hence came the saying 'to put
the little pot in the big
one" when family was cooking
q large dinner for visitors. In the
early years of the century and even
up to 1S4O all travelling was done
on horseback, OF in wagons. Even
in the thirties buggy or carriage
was considered a curiosity at a
church IN theup country. All
writing was done with goose
quills and most of the ink was
made at home. Lead pencils
were made by pouring melted lead
in the joint of cane. The
plumbago lead pencil was
unknown. The shoemaker wonld
come around in the fall and make
the family shoes, as soon as the
leather was taken from the watts.
There was not much choice as to
style then. Socks and stockings
and supenders, or "galluses, were
all knit at home. The average
boy got only one pair of shoes a
year. They were handed out to
him in December. About March
they would be worn out and then
he would 60 barefooted. Sheep
and cow bells, hats rides and all
edged tools were made by the
experts of the county.-spartarn-

A colored preacher in Edgefeld
was recently asked to pray for
sour white brother" He offered
a most fervent prayer, concluding
as follows: "Put his hands to the
gospel plow, tie up his tongue with
the plow lines of truth, noint him
with the kerosene lie of dy saliva
tion and sot him on fire." Some
say this prayer was offered by the
Rev. Paul Holloway, colored, but
as to that this deponent sayeth not.

the scenes of my childhood. also de-
termined, after my arrival, to begin a
thorough investigation of the robbery
on my own hook. The reason ! had
not done this before will be stated later.
The solitude of Sidington, the lack
of welcoming hand, the knowledge
that l had outgrown all boyish esti-
mates and would therefore find the old
homestead no longer encor!passed
about by the romantic interest which
youngsters mind was able to conjure
up-all this did not tend to raise my de-
pressed spirits, and my heart was heavy
within me as | plodded up the long,
dusty hill toward the home of Mr.. Hun
sicker.
A delicious breeze was blowing at the
top of the hill, and paused a moment
under the shade of the naples, to bare
my perspiring brow to the cool in
iiuence.
Then ! slowly walked up the shady
path leading to the porch, keeping my
hat in my hand. Ihoped Mr.. Hunsicker
would be at the house for dinner, for
l determined not to go out into the hot
fields to search for him.
A knock at the open front door caused
