DILLON CHURCH BURNED.

Dillon, Jan. 6.-The Dillon Meth
odist church, erected at a cost of
$4,000, was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning. The fire was dis
covered at lis a. M, and rapidly con-
sumed the large building. 1t originated
in the region of the pastors study,
although it's exact origin can not be
ascertained. The building is insured
in the sum Of $1,000. An applica-
tion was forwarded yesterday for $14,-
600 additional insurance.
The Rev. A. J. Cauthen is pastor
of the church.
The parsonage on q lot next to the
church was saved.
The church was very large and was
modern in every particular. 1t was
completed last spring after years
hard work by the members. 1t rep
resents an outlay Of approximately
$4,000, all of which has not been
paid. Much money was borrowed to
build it and notes are maturing over
period Of years. The edifice con-
tanned a pipe organ valued at $4,000.
The fire department, although at
once on the scene, was practically
helpless as only two streams could be
directed on the flames.

That the credit system has been

who has bought land since 1865 two
men who in the trade or have a pro-
fession have bought land. McIver
Williamson in series Of articles in
1912 in the Southern Cultivator
brought out this invasion of the farms
by merchants, doctors, lawyers,
stablemen and railroad men as re-
sponsible for the bumper crop of cot

against this invasion of the farm as

Because when you open an account
you will buy something every time
you come to town. Three or four
times in my life have been refus-
ed credit for something that I need

and like many others can say IF I
had never bought anything except
what I could pay either in cash or

lsi oS WHcu UEeu OHiy OuCo year, Dut
more pigs should be raised in a wear
from each SOW.
1t does not pay to try to raise hogs
ON grain alone. In fact. the profit in
pig raising, especially in the South
depends directly on the amount of
pasture Of some kind used to enable
the pig to make its gain in weight. OF
the southern forage crops peanuts,
SOY beans, rape, and cowpeas are es-
pecially valuable. Now, these are
NOT available all through the year.
therefore we use series of crops.
For example. have some winter oats
on which the sOws can be turned as
soon as the pigs are a week or two old
When these are gone put the pigs on
good Bermuda and lespedeZa pasture
Have a crop Of SOY beans or cowpeas
coming and turn the pigs on this after
weaning. keeping the sOws on the Ber-
muda. When these are gone put the
pigs i'm peanut patch. and finish fat
tening them on rape.
The pigs should be wcaned at 10
weish about 80 pounds. They should
have learned to eat little grain by

giving the farmer 10 pigs to slaugh-
ter. These pigs should weigh, when
slaughtered, 200 pounds each, MAX
ing 1000 pounds of live weight. This
costs about 3 1-2 cents per pound to
make in the South under the sys-
tenn described above, which is an orig
inal cost of $40. Killing will cost not
over Sc. The loss in dressing is about
30 per cent. of the live weight, or 800
pounds on 10 pigs, so that 1,400
pounds of dressed pork is on hand af-
ter slaughtering. If you can get To-
cal ice plant to chill and cure the
meat for you, the manager should
charge not over 4 cents per pound,
which is $56. The meat loses weight
in curing, amounting to about / cent
per pound. or s14. The total cost VI
the meat is about as follows:
Raising 1000 pounds, at IL
cents per pound .. .. .. >. $40
hlllng.. -. 80.
Curing 1,400 pounds, at 4 cts.
per pound. :. .. >. go. 56
Shrinkage on 1.40O pounds, at
1 cent per pound >. .. =. =. II
TOtaI.. .. =. .. ....$146
You have 1,400 pounds Of cured
meat on hand which has cost you only
a fraction over 10 cents per pound,
the surplus of which you can easily
sell for 20 cents per pound. Under
the circumstances, can you afford to
pay 20 cents per pound or more for
side meat and ham Does it not pay
to raise your own pork?
In these suggestions an outline for
pig raising is submitted which will re-
quire the farmer to spend as little
money as possible. The grain and the
pasture are raised on the farm. He
can kill the hogs and cure the meat
himself, and therefore the only direct
money outlay required after the hogs
are bought is for seed and imple-
ments for cultivation and killing, and
possibly small amount needed for
fencing.
For those who desire more infor-
nation on hog raising it is suggested
that they write to the Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., for
the following Farmers Bulletins:
No. All. Hog Raising in the South.
No. 43S. Hog Houses.

No Georgian is surprised at the fact that a
campaign of yillifcation and misrepre-
sentatlon because of the execution of Frank
has been started by the same papers, out OF
the State, that mlsrepresented us before
Frank was sent to the prison farm at Mill
edgeville.

following editorial:
