WILLIAMSTON, II. F.. ID. I. Feb.
On account OF the pretty weather
wo have been having for the last three
or .our days many of our people are
believing that the backbone OF winter
has been broken and that we can soon
Degin our preparations for another
crop. There has hardly been u day
III the last three months in which,
farmers could do any farm work of
eny H!nd, many yet have consid-
eraoic amount Of cotton In the fields.
ana with this 10 picl1 and hauling fer
tiiizer and preparing for another crop.
we Will certainly have all that we can
40 Tor several weeks to- come. MANY
had good amount OF fall plowing
done and this Is going TO be q big
help Oh both man and work animal.
~. r. Whitaker recently killed tho
champion hog for this section. II
netteu him 6O2 pounds ana was of the
Dur0c strain. Mr.. Whitaker makes
speciality oe this breed of logs and
they arc certainly beauties.
We would like to see at least q half
dozen boys from this section enter the
corn club contest this year and think
IL the proper steps are taken several
can be induced to enter. We would
ike to have Demonstration Garrison
visit this section at his earliest con-
vcnience and see what can be done.
X. L.. Eirod of Princetown was a
visitor to the Melton section Saturday
night.
A. NJ. Martin was business visitor
to Pclzcr recently.
Owing to the large amount Of wheat
anu oats sown In this section there is
aoing to be tremendous demand for
peas of all kinds the coming sprinp
and any one having them to sell
YOU'D make money by advertising
them in the columns of Tho Intel.

J. W. Fowler and JEFF Kay have each
lost COW recently. Mr.. FowIcr's
from eating some poison vegetation in
his pasture and Mr. Kay's from bciny
Sored to death by another COW.
Ell. Wilson OF IIopcwell spent Mon-
day night with his brother, T. C.. VIII
son. ut- ~,
u. A. Martin and c. N Murphy were
visitors to the Five Forks section last
Tuesday.
We hope that the seuate aid house
or representatives during the present
session will see fit to give us a com
pulsory education law TINT viii hc
state wide. without the local option
feature. We are Of the opinion that if
the locnI option feature was pnssod
with the law .tbati:it would fail to
nenciit the, communities that need the
law most. Some oppose the law bo-
cause they claim that 1t Will force the
negro to send his children to school
we need haHet no. fear. from that for
Ithe negro is not one half as car!ess
about schooling his children as the
iwhito people. Y0u don't have 10 com:
pei him to'send His children to school.
honis doing that. anyway. e....t.
:, we think the,.; present legislature
mas done the wrong thigg, in repeating
tne ecrease reduction law. pRssed nj |
the extra session OF tho last iesisfal
.ure. = n the law was not constitu-:
tionaiy and nearly every one Claims
tliat It was not. instead of repca,;ng
It they should have went about gomr
plan to make it so. and placed some
Kind Of SAFE 'guaryiB around 1T that
would have made itias binding as any
Jaw now on tho sEatute books. By
repeating thiJ law they have repealed
the only law that has ever been pas
'ch that 'wonld directly benefit the
enant class Of farmers, for conditions
10 exist just as v. Il. Cheshire said
they did In his article in The Daily
lnteliigencet a few days ago, and no
man dare deny that such conditions
do not exist, s.,l.N
We venture the assertion That nine
tcnths OF the land owners in Anderson
'ounty would not rent nm acre OF
land to a tenant unless he would
agree to- plant at least three -fourths
OF his crop. In cotton and in ninty-nine
out OF a hundred cases the landlord
would want the tenant to plant corn
on come old red hillside with gullics
knee deep and so poor that you could
not even raise a fuss on. It. OF course,
there are q few exceptions to the rule
but thcy are scarce and far between.
We have been asked by some of our
citizens to oircquest the management ,os
The Intelligencer to publish. the law
as to toe cleaning out of distractions
IN running streams II there be such a
law In tlls' State. We think II would
be good idea and great help for the
papers OF the, State TO. publish from
time itQ. time such laws as they would
be a bcnGft.tp rural Communities.
