A Story from the West.

Two or three years ago there was
man living on farm in Anderson
county. He did not own his farm,
but was a renter. But he was a
hard worker and a good manager
and was in good circumstances, own
ing his horses, COWS, hogs, etc., and
made some clear money nearly every
year. But he became dissatisfied.
He decided to move to Texas, where,
he was told, land was cheaper than
here and there were better opportu-
mites for poor man to get start
in life. So he turned all his property
into cash and left. He had some
5000 or $500 when he moved after
paying all his debts.
This was two years ago. Last
week a letter was received from him,
and it was pitiful letter. He
writes that his cotton crop has been
destroyed both years by the boil
weevil, freshets have destroyed his
corn crop, nearly all the members of
his family have been sick ever since
reaching Texas, and doctors bills
have piled up. And all his money
is gone, he is in despair and
he longs to come back to South
Carolina. More than likely some
of his friends will send him money
to come back and he will go to work
and pay it back, and then have to
start all over again to accumulate
a little property.
This is pitiful story, but it is the
same one that has been told over and
over again, with but slight variations.
How often have we known men to
leave their home in Anderson county,
where they were getting along very
well indeed, and go west, only to
find the bitterest disappointment. In
stead of money in abundance they
have found obstacles and drawbacks
and discouragements of every kind.
Some men better their conditions
when they leave old Anderson, but
such cases are extremely rare. The
opposite is the general rule. The
truth is that there is no better Sec
tion OF the country anywhere in tho
world than Anderson county. Peo-
pie who will work and manage well
can get along here. Those who do
not do these things cannot get along
anywhere.--Anderso Mail, Septem-
ber 13.

Gain for the Maine Democrats.

Portland, Me-, September 13.-The
Republicans of Maine were success.
full in the State election, their candi-
date for Governor, William T. Cobb,
of Rockland, being elected by a
plurality which probably will be as
high as 10000. This probable plu-
rality is $500 smaller than that by
which the Republican ticket was
successful in Maine four years ago.
The Democratic leaders are claim
ing that the vote indicates an in
crease in party strength in the State.
On the other hand the. Republican
leaders had declared that they
expected only from $4,000 to $4,000.
The complete returns indicate that
the Democrats will have several
State Senators, whereas they now
have only one, and that they will
make slight gain over their present
membership in the State House of
Representatives.

Cotton Crop Badly injured.

Jackson, Miss, September IA
Reports continue to pour in from the
delta of widespread damage to the
cotton crop on account of worms
and rust. Ex-Governor Longino,
who has just returned from an in
spection of his plantation interests in
that part of the State, says that the
damage is more general than indi-
Gated by the government reports,
and many Of the planters will not
have over so per cent of their usual
crop.

Two years ago very rational and
well-considered project was launched
at Easley, s. G., which contemplated
the establishment, in a small way, of
oreameries for the manufacture of
cheese. It was realized that, while
that section of the South is admir-
ably adapted to stock raising and
dairy pursuits, the single crop prac-
tice had been persisted in so long
that restoration of the focks and
herds which formerly abounded there
must necessarily be slow process.
Accordingly it was decided to estab-
lish creameries on q scale which
would not involve large outlay of
capital and locate them at points
which offered the greatest promise
of interesting the neighboring
farmers. The creameries established
through this arrangement included
that of the Tabor Cheese Co., ca
pacity 176 pounds of cheese per day;
Walhalla Cheese Co., capacity 200
pounds per day; Tokeena Cheese
Co., capacity 176 pounds per day
and the Rush Creek Cheese Co.,
with a, capacity of 200 pounds per
day.
These creameries were established
with the idea that they were large
enough for experimental purposes,
and would not involve heavy finan-
cial loss in case the farming oommu-
mites in which they were located
should fail to respond to their sup
port. That the results achieved
through these experiments have
been successful may be inferred from
the fact that the parties instrumental
in establishing them have embarked
in larger project of the same kind,
at Union, employing more capital in
its operation than the several smaller
establishments, as originally started.
The establishment will be located
on 500-acre farm, three miles east
of Union, and will be equipped with
all necessary apparatus for cheese
making. The farm is splendidly
watered and will be planted in grasses
and forage crops. The company has
already commenced to place its pro-
duct upon the market and will keep
large herd of COWS of it's own, be-
sides buying the milk offered by the
surrounding country. 1t makes IL
pounds of cheese to every 100
pounds of milk. The whey is fed to
hogs, and the company exhibits some
very fine specimens of Berkshire and
Poland China hogs, fed on this waste
product. The cheese is readily sold
in the Union market at II cents per
pound, wholesale.
1t is asserted that in Wisconsin
and other parts of the West the aver
age production of cheese runs about
nine pounds TO one hundred pounds
of milk, or three pounds less than is
shown by the South Carolina estab-
lishment; and it is claimed, also,
that the Carolina cheese will uni
formly command higher price, by
cents, than the Western product.
This creamery company desires to
encourage the settlement of German
farmers in the neighborhood of
Union.--The Southern Field.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
