to show what can be done
here by selection of first
class land, economy, good
judgment, close application
to business.
This property has been
placed with the firm of w,
S. & G. w. Andrews for

have made quite a record
in the sale of farm property
in this section, having sold
over a million dollars worth
of farm lands during the
year 1912.

about 1000 pounds of fine
cured hams for sale, to say
nothing of what he has al
ready sold this season. His
net profits are from S1O,-
900 to $4,000 annually
on his farm. He only uses
a moderate amount OF fer
tilizer each year. After
careful consideration he
has decided to sell his farm
and take life easy, which he
richly deserves.
In placing this farm on
the market he has made the
price as attractive as the
farm is itself. Read the de-
scription and look over
the farm and you will be
convinced. Being in a very
healthy locality and so we'll
improved in addition to the
fertility of the soil, only
one and one-half miles from

the most desirable farms in
this section.

Abbeville.-An important matter
that will come before the Baptist
state convention, which will meet in
Abbeville, December Sc, will be the
question of removing the headquar-
ters of the state mission board from
Greenville to Columbia. For half a
century Greenville has been the mec-
ca for South Carolina Baptists, not
withstanding its geographical place in
a corner of the state. For several
years there has been growing de-
sire on the part of those Baptists who
live in the lower part Of the state to
have the Baptist headquarters loca-
ted in the capital
