THE SPRING OF PERPETUAL YOUTH

To the Editor Of the Dispatch;

hiWogo WV SiSS'" ~
To the Editor Of the Dispatch;
Leaving the cool shades Of Green
vile on Monday morning, proceeded
via Laurens and Spartanburg to the
long famous Glenn Springs. Here |
stopped to rest in the shades OF the
gigantic oaks that have so long de-
fed summers storm and winters
blasts, and to drink at the fountain
that renews life in both young and
old.
1t was lucky for me that I reached
here lust ahead of the excursions
and secured boarding place, for 80
many came in that they seemed to
find it difficult to get boarding places.
Our whole Southern country is
well represented here. The old and
the young, the sick and the we'll and
the middle aged are here. Many for
their health and some for pleasure
The sick drink water, eat all they can
and swap grievances. Those who
are here for pleasure eat, drink, crack
iokes and take hand in about every
thing that comes along. The young
make 1900 goo eyes" and ''bill and
COO" and parade and epgagage in all
the arts of Cupid. Widows and gay
giggling girls are plentiful and many
acquaintance are formed here that
end in matrimony.
Sunday, the 25th, we attended SER
vices at the Presbyterian church, and
listened to a most excellent sermon
by the Rev. MIR. Beckworth, a Meth
odist minister from Barnwell, S. Q.
It has rained every day since I
have been ereexcept Sunday, and all
crops are spreading themselves. ]
don't think I ever saw finer crops OF
cotton and corn than are now be-
tween Laurens and Spartanburg.
People from different portions of the
State report excellent crops, with few
exceptions. A farmer from Colleton
county said he has fifty acres of cot
ton in which man can hide COM
pletely, and one hundred acres OF
corn that he is sure will make him
thirty bushels per acre. 1t costs him
about twenty-seVen cents per bushel
till he gets it housed. He says his
cotton costs him fully five cents per
pound. It pays him better to raise
corn than cotton, and tits his opinion
that if our farmers would pay more
attention to corn and hay culture,
they would soon recover from their
present financial embarrassment.
Now, on his cotton he realizes but q
small profit, while on his corn he GER
tainly will realize seventy-fVe per cent.
I have heard of similar instances in
different portions of the State. Now,
while all our farmers cannot do what
this man does, cannot they do so
proportionately? Pay more attention
to corn and hay culture, and it seems
they could soon better their condi-
tions.
This morning I leave for Asheville,
N. G, to spend few days before 60
ing home, and if I see anything that
I think would be of interest to your
readers, I will give it to you for next
week. b.

CANAVARRO IS
FETED AT LISBON

Senior Canavarro. Portuguese Consul

absence. viii leave Lisbon for this city
next month, and expects To arrive here
during January. Senior Canavarro.
who left here in i'll health is now in
excellent physical condition, and will
come back to his labors equipped for
another long stay and much hard work.
The reception of Consul Canavarro by
his government has been most Halter
ing. Upon his arrival he was given Il
most cordial reception by the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, and had long
consultation. during the course of which
he made IA report upon the condition of
matters here. The consul told of the
success which has attended the immi-
grafton of Portuguese and was COM
plimented at length and with cordiality
upon his administration of affairs.
When his leave of absence expired he
was at once given such additional time
as he desired for the completion of his
visit and has been much feted and gen
orally received at his old home. In
every way his government has tried to
show its appreciation of his work here.
and although he was willing to take
another assignment to duty, such In
sistencc upon his return was made that
he consented to come back here instead
of taking another post, which would
have been a material promotion in his
service.
Consul Canavarro will come to Homo
lulu with the fullest confidence of his
government and will in all probability
make this his future home. II is be-
lieved by friends here that he will be
decorated for distinguished services.
