Oakway, March 16.-Special: Our
little town and community are in
pretty good health at present. rs
Rev. J. B. Heron filled his regu-
lar appointment Saturday and Sun
day, 7th and Sth, and preached two
good sermons.
We would Ike 70 make mention Of
our visit to w. T. Bearden's yester-
day, where we enjoyed ourselves very
much. Mr.. Bearien sold 64 bushels
of bunch yam sweet potatoes last
week at 81 per bushel. He said he
cotnu have gotten more, but that
was all he would want to pay, so he
sold at chat price. Mr.. Bearden is
one OF Oconee's best farmers and
raises his hog and hominy at home
Besides this he has one of the best
nurseries in the State. Any one
would do we'll to get some of his Ben
Tillman apple trees. The following
took dinner with Mr.. and Mrs. Bear
den: Mr.. and Mrs. s. F. Taylor and
Ave children, Mrs. Queen, Mrs. Brown,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Fl. Cole and Ave
children. The dinner was most ex-
cellent one. M
Neal Jaynes. of Anderson, has
moved up here with his grandfather,
w. r. Bearden.
Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. A. Bearden's
mother, had the misfortune Of being
bitten by cat few days ago, and it
has caused her great suffering.
w. N. Bruce was elected to repre-
sent Bethel Sunday school at Union
April La.
Burt Simpson has mysteriously dis
appeared. He went off about four
weeks ago, taking his clothes and
leaving his wife and child about
eighteen months old. While his wife
led the COW to the pasture he packed
his clothes and left, and has not been
heard from since. His wife would
be glad to have any information con-
cerning him. Any one who knows
of him would do her a favor to write

WORE FORTUNE AROUND WAIST.
How the Late Rev. w. w. Jones Kept
Large Amount of Money.
(From The state. J

Relatives of the late Rev. William
W. Jones. whose death occurred on
March 7th at his home at Waterloo,
Laurens county, have applied for let
ters of administration on the estate
and effects Of the deceased. The es-
tate consists chiefly of snug sum Of
cold cash, portion of which was
taken to Laurens and deposited in
one Of the banks by the administra-
tor.
or the amount placed on deposit
$1,S00 of it was in $40 gold pieces.
Part of this coin was in a waist belt
and the balance in bag, the weight
OF the entire amount being five and a
half pounds.
Mr.. Jones was very old man and
his treasure was kept in safe place
in his house and it was not probably
known to many that he possessed
such sum. He belonged to the
South Carolina Methodist Conference
for many years and had, since being
superanuated. lived at Waterloo.
1t is said that years ago Mr.. Jones
had money in a bank that failed, al
though he drew out his holdings be-
fore the doors were closed. Ever
after this escape, however, as tho
story goes, Mr.. Jones trusted no one
but himself to take care of his money
He lived comfortably all the while
and his savings doubtless run back
through long series of years.

CHICKS DEAD IT! SHELL.
The Incubator as Sure of Its Hatch as
Is the Hen.

Chicks dying is the only thing that
prevents 100 per cent. matches. / can
remember back to 40 years ago. when
hens made about the same average as
they do now. I can remember a Ger
tain gate post that I had for mark
when disposing of the eggs that the
hens failed 70 hatch. Breaking the
eggs TO see what was in them was
never thought OF then. and il is not
yet. but when IL comes TO running in
cubators IL is a different thing.
I have seen people hatch so per
cent and 30 per cent. of the fertile
eggs and worry over ten TO 20 per
cent. dying in the shell. yet the same
party would perhaps innocentiy admit
that the incubator did better average
work on all the eggs than the hens
had.
There is just this about IL, says the
Farmers Review. when so per cent.
Of the fertile eggs hatch and 20 per
cent do not hatch. It is evidence in It
self that something was wrong with
the 20 per cent or they would have
also Matched Why not mix in a little
cool reasoning in comparing incuba-
tors with hens and do away with the
unjustihed preiudices. Good incuba-
tors equal good hens, but neither can
hatch unhatchable eggs. If all fertile
eggs were hatchable then We would
simply waste time in selecting strong.
vigorous cockrels and hens. There
would be no use nor sense in select
ing fresh eggs, neither would freezing
or overheating them. before they were
put in the machine affect them.
These are stubborn. serious facts.
and not a single reader Of this paper
will dispute them. yet many will con
tinue 20 throw the eggs that hens
can't hatch az the gate post and make

Don't Overcrowd.

Overcrowding the chicks. either In

In as cioeely packed quarters as the
little birds are expected TO occupy dur

pie have the right to do as they please

quarters except from choice. With the
birds it is different. They are COM
PEELED TO stay in the foul air and in
