So many good things have been
coming its way recently it is quite
natural the Florence Daily Times
should fall into the habit of claim
ing everything worth while, but we
must take issue with our contem-
porary when it claims that a Flor.
ence boy broke the State record in
corn production this year. This
honor goes to Claude Mcdonald, 8
Dillon county boy, who produced
210 and four-sevenths bushels
which is conceded to be the States
record-breaking yield for the year
1911.

The announcement that Power w
Bethea succeeds edwin ]. Sherwood
as editor of theField, at Conway, is
of more than passing moment to
the people of Dillon county Mr.
Sherwood is a son of Mr.. T. c.
Sherwood, of Little Rock, and Mr.
Bethea is a son of the late Elisha
Bethea, who lived near Latta. Mr..
Sherwood entered the field of
journalism shortly after leaving
college some or years ago, and
the Field has prospered greatly
under his management and direc-
ton. His successor, Mr.. Betha, is
one of Dillon oounty's brightest
young men, and there is every
reason to believe that The Field
will continue to grow and prospr
under his management. The Her
aid regrets that Mr.. Sherwood is
to retire from newspaper work, but
extends to his able successor a
sincere and cordial welcome.

DILLON, S. c., DEC. II, 1911.

Georgia has the South American
republics beat all round when it
comes to deposing and electing
State rulers. Three years ago Joe
Brown defeated Hoke Smith for
governor. A year later Smith came
back and defeated Brown for gov
ernor. The legislature elected Smith
to the senate and now the people
have elected Brown governor again.
Smith and Brown would make a
great team down in South America.

wi! :. re Guce in truck than it will

. here are farmers in other sec
tiol 8 of the State who have be-
coE:e Independently rich in a few
years at truck growing, after spend
ing life time in the cultivation of
cotton without any success Up in
Robson county a man received this
year $4,000 alone for his crop of
Irish potatoes. A person can grow
from 800 to 500 bushels of sweet
potatoes on an acre for which he
can command 81 per bushel, yet the
potatoe crop in this country is so
small that Scotland is sending
sweet potatoes over here in ship
loads. Just why peopel cling to
cotton as the only money crop in
the South is something that passes
comprehension. There Is less mon
ey in cotton than in any other crop
that can be grown, taking the av-
erage for ten years.
MIR. Moore Is very much interest
ed in the trucking inductry and
authorizes US to say that Mr. Rags
dale will be glad to advise any one
who desires to engage in trucking
Mr.. Moore's purpose is to supply
the local market and then shiI
what cannot be sold locally.
