| ., WltflJ" this morning we will give
| lie lNTELLIGENtER readers few
thoughts and comments from our
wOrnOut pen.
During Tho. past week we had two
light sprinkle's of rain.
On last Wednesday afternoon a
severe wind storm struck our midst,
trees. Although no serious damage
was done, things were looking very
serious for awhile.
Crops i'll this. entire section are very
poor indeed. Farmers will not realize
no more than Il half II crop on an
average.
Cotton is oI ming fast, that which
was planted early, and no doubt it will
all be gathered by Nov lst
Mcssrs j. y, Shirley and B. +. Gass-
away have decided o.uuit pulling
fodder, for they have their corn crop
cut down and shocked in the field
where they will let it remain for
several weeks until it gets thoroughly
dry. Then they will haul it uD and
have it shredded. This shltlding
BUSINESS - something new to our peO-
pie, but these gentlemen are going to
Try 1t this year; 1t is used out West
entirely. We don't see why it will not
prove to be Il good way TO have more
y
feed.

Wednesday after q weeks sojourn
among the good people of old Georgia.
we made the trip over there in. one
day by private conveyance. 1t was a
"dear hot ride,' though, and we were
sOmewhaC fntigued when we reached
our destination, n distance of about
fifty miles. We had most delightful
OCCASION among the pretty girls and
"go9di Il "m,ion looking. p6m boys; ; We We will not
~ itiOi i'c" eio uiu 1OlkS lOukCu.
But Georgia girls, there is none sur
passes; they arc sweeter than sorghum
mOlasses.' The above lines are part
of II song we heard the girls sing while
over there, and think there is some
truth in it. We had .iovial time over
there and i,Opc to meet them again in
the near future, for they shall ever be
remembered by our party.
On our Journey hOmewar1 VIC came
by the way of that thriving and boom
ing city-Anderson-the Electric City
of Carolina" 1t does the writer much
good to visit Anderson and behold her
enterprises. 1t is only
short time and Anderson will not know
those grand mills within her boundary.
Prosperity seems to be dawning on this
historic old town. And we say "let Ter
roll on."
Before these seribbled lines are in
print the primary election will have
been held, the ''taie told" and,the can
didates will know just where they
stand. Some are going to find out that
they did not weigh as heavy as they
expected. But such is life! We have.
no doubt whatever of good many
second races. Hoyt and MoSweeney
will have to run the race over, and we
are looking for McSweeney to walk in
'just rs ensy."
Miss jamie Bigby is visiting friends
and relatives near HOpewell this week.
