Feels Good To Farmers.

The Farmers Union in this section
is now laying plans to sow the big
gest crop Of wheat and oats this fall
that has been sown in a long time.
The farmers as a general rule are
highly pleased with the returns from
their sowing last year so much SO in
fact that they are determined to go
at it on a more extensive scale this
year. 1t feels good to them to have
their own bread at home and not
have to buy it at the prevailing high
prices. And the fact that Waxhaw
is to have a good roller milling plant
in operation before this time next
year is no small incentive to farmers
in this territory to sow good crop
of wheat this fall and make all their
bread at home. All of this points
plainly to a better day for our far
mers just ahead, and every man who
has the best interests in his commu-
nifty at heart will rejoice to see it
come. Waxhaw Enterprise.

A Dry Military Camp.

Bva telegram from Pine Camp 1t
is learned that the most perfect or
der is preserved under the command
Of General Frederick Dent Grant.
Not one drunken soldier has been
seen during the entire encampment,
nor is there any record of disorderly
conduct. General Grant has taken
a special precaution to warn the
men and protect them against the
poIluting influence Of the liquor
traffic. Two p-pocket vendors OF
whisEley we're doing thriving busl-
ness near the edge of the camp for
a few hours, when word of their ac-
tivity reached headquarters and Cen
eral Grant called upon Sheriff Bogart
to arrest and lock up both OF the
men. General Grant gave out
settlement Of his experience with the
workings of the army canteen law
at the encampment. Among other
things it SAYS: when | say | think
the canteen is better left out Of the
army, | believe | am taking the cor
rect view. Take this camp for ex-
ample. Many persons have the idea
that because there is no way under
the present law for soldier to get
liquor within camp limits, dives and
low saloons about the outskirts OF
the camp must thrive. Such is
not the case, as have taken care to
learn. The other night | made a
round of all the grogshops, and l
found that wherever there were Gus
toners they were generally civilians
Wherever | found a soldier he was
almost always a militiaman, and not
a regular. This may be partly due
to the fact that payday had passed
and most of the troops had spent all
their money; but do not think that
is the whole reason. The fact that
a good many of these places have
gone out of business purely because
they could not get customers enough
shows that my Inference is correct.
General Grant, it will be remember
ed, rode at the head of a procession Of
80, 200 people in Chicago, wearing
ais military uniform, in q demon
stration against the saloons, and has
been one OF the most potential advo-
:ates of temperance reform in the
