MR.. B. HARRIS RAISES BeETs.
Will Make Twenty Tons on one Acre of
Land.

A special to the Augusta Chronicle
from Anderson tells of Pendleton
farmers success with beets this year.
The farmer referred to is known in
Laurens, having recently visited the
city in connection with the Farmers
Union of which organization he is a
prominent member. The special about
his beets follows
Mr.. b. Harris, one of Anderson coun-
tvs progressive farmers and also the
president of the county fair association,
was in the city today from Pendleton. He
brought with him three beets of the
golden tankard, white sugar and long
red varieties. He brought them along
to exhitit at the meeting of the Farm
ers' Union. In speaking of them to
your correspondent, Mr.. Harris said
that the three he had with him weighed
IL pounds. He planted an acre of them
and will harvest between 20 and 25
tons. These beets he feeds to hogs and
cattle. He says the beets are the best
kind of feed for rich milk and butter
and that breeding sows are kept in ex-
cellent trim if beets are fed to them.
He is very enthusiastic over beets as
feed and his talk before the union to-
day will probably result in the plant
ing of many acres in the county next
year. Mr.. Harris also said that the
board of directors of the county fair
were completing arrangements for a
bigger fair this year than usual The
premium lists will be off the press
within few days. The fair will be
held Oct. Is, l6 and II

LESS ILLICIT LIQUOR.
Express Company Reports Decrease in
Number of Shipments.
Charleston Evening Post.

Mayor Rhett has received a state
ment from the Southern Express com
pany to the effect that for the past
week or two there had been almost no
illegal shipments of whiskey made into
Charleston through the local express
Office.
1t would appear that the vigilant
watch maintained by the police on the
movements of the express wagons has
resulted in decided decrease in the
importation through the express compa-
ny of Illicit booze.
There is also the effect on the who'll
salers who are afraid that their custo-
mers here will not receive the liquor
shipped them. However it is, tn c
mayor is gratified with the report of
the express company, but will keep up
the police surveillance.
