Kindly advise me how to wash light

when the skin on the hands becomes

Put a handful of salt in the water

Not as much cotton is planted in

bales this year.
The corn crop will average a SO
per cent yield: Some corn in this
county will make as much as l50
bushels to the acre, while some will
not make 10. AS a whole the corn
crop is a good one, and especially
close corn, owing to the wet seasons
will make an excellent yield.
Most peas were late in sowing and

Calhoun County Crops.

The St. Matthews correspondent
Of The State says cotton in Calhoun
county varies with the soil and local
conditions. In some localities the
average is good, while in others, it
is very low. The general average is
from 55 to 65 per cent. Corn will
average about so per cent. The ac-
reage is about the same as last year.
Crops generally appear to be heal
thy, although very small. With fair
seasons, the average will be increas-
ed. Excessive summer and rains the
cause of low percentage.

NEW ROAD PROPOSED.
Mr.. B. f. Folk Writes Interestingly
of New Highway.

The following letter to The Times
and Democrat from Mr.. B. F. Folk,
of Bamberg, will be read interest
ingly by many readers in this coun-
ty living on the part of the county
affected by this road. This seems to
be a good suggestion, and we add our
suggestion to Mr. Folks that the
county authorities look it up, and
see If it can't be arranged. AS he
says this road would open up a fine
farming country.
His letter says "the writer has
just completed survey which Is In
tended for a public road in Orange
burg County, starting from the farm
of MIR. Jake Thomas on the Branch
Vile and Cope public road, passing
through yther farms to Mrs. Ella
Valentines place and across Cooper
Swamp, touching Mr.. Dave Stack 8
farm and Mr., Gray's place and from
there across branch to where Peter
Jacobs, colored, now lives, also by
Calvary colored church and across
the railroad to Mr.. Stephen Hutchius
place on to Cordova, Orangeburg be-
ing the objective point. The survey
being seven miles long. This propo-
sition is referred to the County Off
GERS and candidates who have been
so strenuously advocating good and
convenient roads. The project would
open up one of the most isolated, yet
fine farming lands with fine forests
of good timber as you will find in
the county. BY the way, / will here
state that in the formation of Bam-
berg County it's projectors had in
view to reach for this very section,
but the fear Of their not being will
ing to come in would defeat their
scheme, led them to abandon the
idea. Go to work, gentlemen, and
develop your county"
