The waters still be a little mud

The Democrats rolled up a major

rather than decrease this major
lty, and Tuning in theDemocrat-

Ploughed With Dynamite and
Epects to Make ESQ Bushels
of Corn to Acre.

Spartanburg Dispatch S. c., 25th
J.HenryCaldwell, the only farm
er in the country who ploughs
his fields by using dynamite, has
the best corn in Spartanburg
county. And this corn crop was
grown on the land that was
ploughed by placing charges of
dynamite five or six feet under
ground and about eight feet
apart and discharging them.
The earth was literally blown
to pieces and it was not necessary
to do any further ploughing pre-.
paratory to planting the corn.
There are fifty rows Of corn
planted in the field that was
ploughed by dynamite and it is
as pretty corn as the oldest In
habitant ever saw.
The corn has just begun tt
mature at present and the esti.
mates of the yield have been made
by experts, all of whom say thai
J.. Mr.. Caldwell has the best corr
in the country and will carry of

Came Reasons Why the County
should be Divided.
~ Nv Friends of the Lower End:

To My Friends of the Lower End:
There are some questions that
.re never settled until they are
sSsttled right. and among those
Questions comes up the question
If a division of this county. This
"a T. one of those demands of a
n,orticn of our people that will

mo no off and on for the last so
, Years and is getting more persist
ant every year. I wish to lay
before my fellow citizens of the
lower end of the county some of
mr. reasons, for such a division
of the county-some reasons why
thew should be willing to agree
with us for such a division.
In the first place, you must adj
init that the county is too large
TO be properly administered by
o,r present form of government.
The distance from the seat of
government creates a lack Of a
due execution of the laws in GER
tain sections, where the expense

often ends in releasing them on

Of time and money in the execu.
ton of their office. Then there
is the hardship of poor men who
are often obliged to leave their
families unprotected while at.
tending court, and living at long
distances from the court house
Small counties are better govern
ed. and are not so liable to get il
debt as larger ones. Compare
the debt of the small and com
pact county of Scotland with tina
of our county. 1t is only a ques
ton of time when the county will
be disrupted from the very ne
cessities of the case. Sometime
sentimental reasons are brough
forward why we should remain
intact. This might effect som
