1iN, with few exceptions, as others in
regard to Il stand Of cotton. Some have
good stands of corn and have com
mcnced with one application OF fer
tiliZcr with the second blowing. While
we need rain bring up the cotton, we
find in plOwing the corn that the mois
ture Is not far below the surface. Yet
good season would help the corn
wonderfully. The oat crop is very
much damaged by the dry weather, yet |
the crop is much better than we could |
expect without any rain. The farm
ers are very patient and every day you
can hear them say, eve are oblidged
to wait, as we have no power by which
we could change things, we must trust
to the good Lord the giver Of all
things"
Last Saturday Mr.. Cooper and your
correspondent left Laurens via Whit
mirc for Union. We arrived at Whit
mire at 400 and met good many Of
the mill people. After being there a
few minutes Laurens county man
who was born and raised at Cross Hill
but now lives at Whitmire said to your
correspondent, that he would go
around and get the crowd together and
ask Mr.. Cooper to give talk. III a
few minutes they had Mr. Cooper upon
long table outlining in part his plat
form. He received a good hearing,
and many Of them expressed them
selves of being we'll pleased and as
! sured Mr.. Cooper Of their support in
the coming campaign. After Mr..
Cooper got through with his talk, we
both mixed up with the boys and at
6:30 he cranked his car and we start
cd for Union. We got there late, but
met good many Of the boys. After
chatting them awhile, we were invited
out to Oakland to spend the night with
n friend who had others to meet our
distinguished friend at his home. Next
morning we went back to Union and
from there we headed for Lockhart
Mills. At ten o'clock we landed and
were met by our friends, and among
tIlcSC NcIC IcN. Jollu JOcl SulDcl lSol,

spent very pleasant day at Lockhart.

YOU feel at home, and the good dinner

trips. They have our best wishes. We

farmers have made wonderful strides
since your correspondent left that coun-

pleasure before OF seeing SO many
beautiful homes and up-to-date farms.
We saw 400 acres in one field near
kelton, the prettiest we ever saw at
this season Of the year. This farm
belongs to Mr.. Stokes r. Aycock,
brother OF Prof. Aycock. Of Clinton. We
saw many other farms that we could
mention. Long before we got to I'm
ion we could tell that there was a dis
pcnsary in evidence. We left Union
last Monday at ten o'clock and arrived

Miss Alena CARROTS school closed
