on how productive it was and how
We! farmed. l have had the pleas
ure OF mee>iEg the owner several
times and recently he gave me the
following history Of the farm, few
years ago this piece Of land was
farmed by ne&rG renters and was
very unpl3ductive. The year before
1 took it fifteen acres were planted
in cctton aid produced three bales. I
took it; began to break it deep, cul-
tivate shallow and to frequently SOW
rye, in the fall to turn under in the
spring. Last year I made fourteen
bales of cotton on the same fifteen
acres.
"1'his is as fine an example of soil
building as I have seen anywhere and
illustrates what may be done by the
Use of common sense methods. 1t
has cost the man less to cultivate this
land than it had the negro tenants,
because he used harrows and weed
ers when the crop was small, going
over about fifteen acres day in
stead of four.
''The principle thing I wish to call
attention to, however, is the use OF
winter cover crop. 1t is now rec
ognized that nothing will build up a
run down farm as quickly as turn
ing under crop of rye, or rye mix
ed with vetch or clover, in the
spring. The cost Of growing such
crop is very small compared to the
cost of making crop on worn out
lands by using commercial fertiliz-
ers in large amounts. The follow
ing figures as to the cost of a cover
crop are taken from the May num-
Der of the Clemson Agricultural Jour-
1el:
1 1-2 bushels of rye seed at 81 S1.5O
Labor for planting. -. ...S2.5O
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-06-06

Total COST. go. -. -. ...S4.OO
These are very liberal estimates
and should be considerably lower
where farmer has his own work.
The good to be obtained cannot be
compared with the cost since the
land will yield bigger crops for sew
eral years as a result of the cover
crop alone.
ga great deal of trouble has been
experienced during the spring just
passed in breaking land. In pass
ing along the road, half the lands
seem to have been broken up cloddy.
Much of the available plant food IS
locked up in these clods. All OF this
could have been avoided if the land
had been well filed with humus or
decaying vegetable matter. The
cheapest and best way to obtain this
is by growing winter cover crops.

Broad Tires Save The Roads.

This paper has over and over
again advocated the necessity
Of broad tires for the wagons of
the county, if the roads are to
be kept up. Marrow tires do
more damage to roads than
water, or as much at least, and
both are fatal and ruinous.
A 1000 pound load on q narrow
tired wagon will destroy ten
thousand dollars worth of road
within twelve months. Load a
team with two tons and
haul one load every day for II
months, and it can be guaran-
teed that at least ten thousand
dollars worth of road will be
ruined if no repairing is done.
A broad tire likewise used
would improve the road instead
of injuring it, and broad tire
will cost but Il dollar or 80 more
than a narrow one. A law
should be passed, compelling
owners of wagons to substitute
broad tires and exempting such
wagons from taxation and at
the same time putting a double
tax on the narrow tire. This
would do more to help the road
question along than any mainte-
nance law which could be franz
ed leaving narrow tires on the
wagons.
Automobiles do much harm to
roads by gathering up the fine
macadam and causing it to be
blown away, and should pay a
good tax for the maintenance of
the roads. To issue bonds, in
crease taxes and then destroy
the roads is a wilful, woeful,
foolish waste of money.

Linen Shower For Miss Hankins.

Foremost among the social
events of the week was mis-
cellaneous shower given by Mrs.
M. j. Hankins on Tuesday to
the bride of the week, Miss
Myrtle Hankins.
Mrs. Hankins was assisted in
receiving the guests by Miss
Hankins, Miss Saunders, of
Williamson, and Miss Bishop, of
Bristol. Little Miss Dorothy
Hankins, appropriately dressed,
presented Miss Hankins with a
pink covered basket, in which
she found a note in verse telling
her if she were to look around
she would find hidden treasures.
The search proved very success
full, as the gifts were so dainty
and useful. A profusion of pink
roses and laurel decorated the
hall and living rooms, while the
color scheme was artistically
carried out in red, in the dining
room. Each guest was presented
with a book Of questions on
matrimony, the BRIDES book
having different questions and
they caused a great deal of
merriment when the answers
were read out.
Being invited to the dining
room. each found her place by a
hand-painted place card. A toast,
especially written for the occa-
sion, was given by Miss Ella
Bowen, when all drank to the
brides health. A delicious salad
course was served, followed by
a rose ice course.

The recent cold weather has
been unprecedented for June
over wide stretch of country.
In Pennsylvania, New York,
Canada, Virginia and in nearly
every State east of the Miss
issippi, there has been frost. In
Tazewell and adjoining coun-
ties there was frost two morn

was done. The cold weather has
been decidedly adverse to the

except grass, which seems to be
fine all over this county.
With the return of warm
weather and sunshine growing
crops will boom, also the weeds.

The election of the city coun-

summated without bloodshed,
notwithstanding the unpre-
cedented interest taken there
being al votes cast in Tazewell
and a similar proportion of vot-
ing at North Tazewell-ab about 25
per cent of the citizens partic-
ipating. Lack of interest in
affairs municipal was not the
sole reason for so small a vote.
A great number had failed to
pay their poll taxes in time,
several Of this number being
candidates for council in the
two towns. The following vote
was cast in Tazewell:

NO PROVISION FOR
KEEPING UP ROADS
Throwing Away Money To Let High
ways Wear Out After Heavy
Expense of Construction.

Some one asks: "What ar
rangement, if any, has been
made to keep up the new roads
built and being built, in the
county" The question is impor-
tant as well as proper. To spend
large sums of money to build
roads and then leave them to be
cut up, washed away, is the
height of business folly. And
this is just what is being done
in a number of instances in this
county right now. There was
quite q lot of money spent
few years ago on Tazewell
avenue and the streets leading
out of town east and the one
around by the Baptist church.
The streets were left to go to
pieces. Now there are holes and
gullies washed in each of these
streets which will cost money
to repair. Maintenance of the
roads is more important than the
building in the first place. If
the road authorities are good
business men they will see to it
that the new roads are not
allowed to go to rack.
Speaking OF roads: 1t is a
standing shame that the short
piece of road this side of MIR.
G. A. Martins, a short gap, re-
quiring not over $1,000 to COM
plete, should have been left in
its present rough condition. The
machinery and men were right
on the ground, and after build
ing a fine road all along the line
ON both sides or ends, pulled up
and moved to other sections,
leaving the road really worse
than it was at first. Money ran
out" was the cause of this road
being left unfinished, so the
authorities said. Surely so small
a sum as 81, GOO could have been
borrowed from some other fund
in the hands of the Treasurer,
and used on this gap. Now, or
when this road is finished, it
will cost nearly twice a thous-
and dollars. Somebody blunder-
ed and busted" and clearly
showed lack of business interest
or ability or BOTH This is what
the people are saying, and there
seems to be good ground for
complaint and criticism. This
rough stretch and gap between
the two good ends of road is Il
standing comment upon some
body's judgment or lack Of
Judgment. One good citizen,
discussing the matter the other
day said that the moving of the
plant from this road over on the
Wittens Mills road and moving
it back again, cost at least half
enough money and fully enough
time to have finished this short
quarter mile Of road.
NORTH TAzEWELL ROAD
AND CHINA. +
Did anybody ever see per-
fectly or even a decently good
road on lower Railroad avenue
between Tazewell and North
Tazewell? Let him speak up!
There is short stretch of coun-
ty road between the two corpor-
ations that has cost this county
enough money to build four
times as much road and build it
right, too. Even inside the
North Tazewell corporation the
street is in a shameful condi-
ton. Enough stone has been
placed on this stretch of road, if
it had been properly placed, to
build a splendid road. But there
it is, and seems likely to remain.
Yes, sir, we need some definite,
scientific road maintenance
arrangements for this county.
