of mules brought into Anderson

sold to the farmers. Now what be-
comes OF these mules? Certainly hun
drcds Of them do not die annually,
and 1t is equally true that hundreds
OF them are not sold to people ut
side the county: then what becomes
Of them? The mules that are brought
into this market by the dealers are
from three to six years old. They are
never over nine years, no mule for
trading purposes ever exceeded nine
years. Now it is a we'll known fact
that mules live to be twenty or ven
thirty years old; and the problem
has worried us to an extent that we
are faint to call upon some Of the
men who should be well informed on
mythology" Over half of the mules
that are brought to this State fall
into the hands Of negro liencrS and
many OF them are practically starved
