A dollar means a dollar now
saved till the first Of May it will
mean nearly dollar and a quarter
to tho poor man and it will no
havo to bo borrowed.
Grecnvillc has been trying hard
enough to get q cigar factory loca-
ted thereabouts. 1t looks like
this corporation expects Green
vile people to beg it and pay it
too to locate amongst them. II
GreenvilIe is desirable place for
such an institution, will it not
come as a matter Of course?
The farmers of Pickons county
arc tho frccst people to DO found.
Their freedom could be broadeneJ
by tho practice of moro economy
with added industry for season.
To bo out OF debt means "to bo III
the saddle', to use we'll under
stood phrase, and PiclIons county
farmers are beginning to mount.
WhcD the Oconoo county Grand
Jury got through with the County
Officers at the lat term of Court in
that county thore must havo been
a feeling Of lonesomness amongst
them. Tho Grand Jury seemed to
give most of their time to tho Off.
GERS though a good batch Of indict'
ments was handad up also. Tho
Grand Jury Of Oconee seemed de-
tormined that their recommenda-
tons he carried out.
In the Way of Small Industries.
The Easlcy Creamery Company
at Easley some eight
ago, and operated for sev-
eral months gives some indication
Of what is possible for small indus
tries in this section Of South Caro-
lima. This concern has succeeded
in producing quality Of cheese,
along with the usual by-products
Of creamery, that measures up to
the full expectations Of ell people
at all familiar with the workings
and requirements Of such an insti.
tuition. In fact at the late State
Fair where tho products Of cream.
cries were displayed aud thorough
tests given, the Easley Creamery
Company won a prize on tho merit
of it's product. The trouble ct
present, and the only trouble in
the way of making such enterprise
in this country profitable invest
ment is that it is q real advance
ment on the customs of the people1
We are too content to let our pro-
ducts be subject to variations Of O
very variable market, and there.
fore fail to SEQ wherein a creamer
which sends to our doors and takes
our surplus milk at a constant
price and withal q reasonable
price, though it may be little
lower than the prices received ktor
u few quarts in Greenville for in~
stance, is directly q benefit to the
cattle raisers and milk producers.
The Creamery gives living prices--
good prices and that without fail
urc at any time. 1t needs and can
use constant supply all the time
and pays for it according to true
measure when delivered or as the
man who supplies it wants the pay.
This clement Of regularity removes
all doubt as to the disposition Of
all the milk farmer can produce,
and loaves him free to ralee all he
can without the trouble Of finding O.
market. 1t ought also to encour-
age tho raising Of cattle---a better
quality Of cattle-and every COW
that is raised and kept at homo
means, over and above the revenue
from her. milk, a betterment of
the land on which she is kept.
Those who figure closely are al
most prepared to say that the fer.
tilization of tho soil derived from
a batch of COWS properly cared for
is equivalent III value to the cost
Of keeping those COWS saying moth
ing about the money received for
the milk.
