FARMERS AGED TO PLANT WHEAT.
II Enough be Planted Local Mil VIII
Put In Boiling Machinery.

Editor County Record
MIR William Dennis, who owns and
operates the grist mill near the canal
in town, requests ME to write few
lines for The Record with regard to
planting wheat in Williamsburg
county. Mr. Dennis wants the farm
ers to plant wheat and promises to
put in "a flour boiling outfit if he can
get i number of farmers to pledge
themselves to plant few acres each.
Mr Dennis says that if about 500
acres of wheat be planted he would
add the grinding and boltlng ma
chluery to his mill. Flour costs now
about double what it sold for short
time ago and there is plenty of rich
land in this county that will grow
fine wheat. A few acres will produce
enongh to do large family and it
takes very little labor to make 1t,
being sown in the tall when farmers
have plenty of time. Two or three
davs will be long enough to SOW and
plant it and nothing else Is to do but
NOW it in May or June; one man
with common scythe can cut several
acres in day.
Farmers in the West make 30
bushels to the acre and the same can
be done here, or even 20 bushels
would make 4 barrels of nice flour,
which at present prices would be $36
for about $40 expense. Now, flour
made at home is better than that we
have to buy; the bread is sweeter. l
eau remember when there was wheat
ground and flour made not 20 miles
from klngstree on old fuaolhg
Swamp and l have not forgotten
how delicious the bread did taste
made by the good old mothers in the
away back days when neighbors were
| like brothers aud the wicked were
not always troubled, and Poor Con-
rad" could eat as much ''fatty'
bread and "sbortened' biscuits as
any bad boy. I look back once more
to the happy homes ! used to visit
the Eppses, Bargesses, Smiths aud
McFaddins-never more to behold
and hear their winning voices.
Well, Mr. Editor, am afraid this
will take more space than you have
to spare, but as the season for SOW
ing wheat will soon be here, Mr.
Dennis would be glad to have you
let the farmers know what he has
to say in regard to planting wheat.

ODD RACE ACROSS AFRICA,

German Officer Suggests a Co as you :

Lieutenant Paul Graetz of the Ger
man army, who recently crossed At
RIGA in an automobile, has launched a
novel project for a go-as-you-please
race across Africa Competitors will
be allowed to walk or use any other
means of locomotion known to man
except railway.
Graetz, who will enter the contest
himself, agrees not to employ his auto
mobile, with which it took him 63O days
to bisect the dark continent, but he
may resort to flying machine, bal
loon, dirigible airship; motorcycle, BIZ
cycle, horse. donkey, zebra, jinrikisha
or native drawn cart. For the pres
ent he is not saying which. He plans
that the race shall start on March l.
1910, at some point on the east coast
not farther south than the twentieth
degree of north latitude
The lieutenant thinks that the con
test, apart from it's sporting aspect.
ought to produce valuable scientific
and economic results. He hopes that

An lbsen Memorial.

The admirers Of Ibsen have a prof.

Grimstadt where 1bsen was appren-
ticed from 1874 to 1850 and restore it
to its appearance at that period as a
memorial of the author Of "Hedda
Gabler." The appeal sent out states
that the old house Of the apothecary
Reimann still exists, and it is almost
in the same state as when Ibsen dwelt
there. Almost all the fittings still ex-
list and can be purchased. The whole
place, the shop, the laboratory and the
rooms, will certainly prove of the
greatest interest, and the committee
expresses the opinion that future gen.
erations will be grateful to those who
have prevented the house and it's sur

and where they had acquired consid-
cradle wealth and property When
last saw Mr.. Cannon, in the end Of
October. he had just returned from
his plantation at San Carlos, part Of
which had been destrc. ed by agents
Of Zelaya. He was gong to join Cen
eral Estrada. his personal friend. and
he told me he had been appointed to a
post on the generals staff.
Mr.. Groce, too, had very valuable
property in Nicaragua. valued approx
imately at $5OO,OOO, with about as
much more distributed in Honduras,
San Salvador and other republics. He
was an expert mining engineer and
used his technical knowledge to the
advantage of General Estrada.
Both Groce and Cannon were cap.
tured after a decisive encounter be.
tween Estrada's forces and those of
Zelaya near the San Juan river. Ze-
laya's force. contrary to the treaty pro.
vision. deliberately crossed the river
into Costa Rica, recrossed it at an un.
expected point, and. appearing in the
vanguard of General Estrada's force,
put it to fight.
Eager to Be Rid Of Cannon"
Personally have no doubt that
both Cannon and Groce were taken in
the act Of laying mines under the river
and adjacent roads. But as they were
recognized officers Of the revolutionary
party it was utterly unwarranted to
lead them to execution l never be-
lieved they had a fair court martial,
but that they were killed on the per-.

Mr.. Holland declared that most of
the American residents in Nicaragua
had either left the country as unsafe

Most of them, he said, were hoping
that the United States would take

the situation of foreign residents not

Both in the capture of the two Amer
