Mr.. S. P. Younginer has returned
from business trip to Florida and
Georgia.
If every farmer in South Carolina,
would emulate the example of Mr..
Joseph Huffman, ST., it would make
but little difference about the low
price of cotton. He has corn two or
three years old and will make enough
meat this year to do him two years.
He does not believe in having his
corn crib and meat house in the West.
His idea is to raise his own meat and
bread and make cotton a surplus
crop. The result is he has plenty of
the necessaries of life for himself and
his fat and sleek mules, horses and
COWS.
Mr. J. ". Younginer will move
his saw mill in a few days from
Richland county over in the Dutch
Fork where he will saw for the pub
lie.
The half dozen or more Dutch
dirt ovens" in this section are curios-
tiles to your correspondent, who never
saw anything of the kind before. I
am told that whole weeks cooking
can be done in one of these ovens at
one time.
Mr.. Joe Meetze has recently bought
land near the State farm aad has
already moved to it.
MIR. Haltiwanger has rented the
house recently occupied by Mr.. W.
". Spence who has moved to New
berry. Mr.. Dock Ellison has moved
to the John Lorick place.
Messrs. Thos. A Chafin and J. R..
Robinson, spent Sunday in Colum-
bia. There is evidently some special
attraction over on that side of the
river.
