Senator Stone also commented on the

the deposit. He referred to the fact
that Mr.. Cummins had produced the de-
post slip In the chamber and that 1t

What An Aiken Young Women Did
With Small Tomato Patch.

The Columbia Record says Editor
Hugh Long. in the Wagennr Edisto
News, wrotes with proper pride con-
cerning the tomato production record
made by Miss Deborah Derrick of
Ridge Spring, who seems to have
passed the mark set last year by an
other Aiken County girl, Miss Katie
Gunter. Miss Derrick had one-tenth
of an acre planted in tomatoes.
From this small plot of ground she
gathered large quantities of tomatoes
for household consumption, either
raw, or in the form of catsup. pickles
and preserves; and, besides this, from
the same ''patch' she garnered choice
tomatoes enough to fill S73 cans.
These cans of tomatoes cost her 7
cents each and sell readily ct Il IL
cents.
She estimates her profit from this
patch" on canned tomatoes alone,
at $4S, which Is at the rate Of $3.50
per acre, very much more than staple
crops ever yield. Miss Gunter's ag-
gregate production Of canned toma-
toes was $50 cans, from one-tenth
