WILLIAMSON, r. f. ID. 1. Feb.
On account of the pretty weather
we have been having for the last three
or four days many of our people are
believing that the backbone OF winter
mas been broken and that we can soon
begin our preparations for another
crop. There has hardly been q day
IN the last three months in which
farmers could do any farm work of
any KIND, many yet have a consid-
erable amorut of cotton I'm the fields.
and with this TO pick and hauling fer
hi,Zer and preparing fer another crop,
we VIII certainly have all that we can
10 Tor several weeks to come. Many
had good amount of fall plowing
lone and this is going t3 be a big
help on both man and work animal.
Is. r. Whitaker recently killed the
champion hog for this section. 1t
netted him COZ pounds and was of the
Duroc strain. Mr.. Whitaker makes
a specially of this breed of hogs and
they are certainly beauties.
we would like to see at least a half
dozen boys from this section enter the
corn club contest this year and think
II 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-
Venience and see what can be done.
X. l.. Elrod of Princctown was a
visitor to the Melton section Saturday
night.
A. M. Martin was a business visitor
TO Pelzcr recently.
Owing to the large amount OF wheat
and oats sown. in this section there is
gong to be tremendous demand for
peas of all kinds the coming spring
ana any one having them to sell
would make money by advertising
them in the columns of The Intel
ligencer.
j. w. Fowler and JEFF Kay have each
lost q COW recently. Mr.. Fowler's
from eating some poison vegetation in
his pasture and Mr.. Kay's from being
yored TO death by another COW.
Ed. Wilson of Hopewell spent Mon
day night with his brother, r. C. Will
son.
j. A. Martin and C. N. Murphy were
visitors to the Five Forks section last
Tuesday.
We hope that the senate and house
OF representative during the present
session will see fit to give us a COM
puisory education law that will be
state wide, without the local option
feature. We are of the opinion that IL
the local option feature was nassed
with the law that it would fail to
beneht the communities that need the
law most. Some oppose the law be-
cause they claim that Ii will force the
negro to send his children to school.
We need have no fear from that, for
the negro Is NOT one half as carless
about schooling his children as the
white people. You don't have to COM
pei him to send his children to school.
he Is doing that anyway.
We think the present legislature
has done the wrong thing in repeating
the acreage reduction law passed at
the extra session of the last Iegisla-
ture. II the law was not constitu--
t1onal, and nearly every one claims
that 1t was not, instead OF repealing
1t they should have went about some
plan to make II 30, and placed some
Kind of safe Guards around il that
would have made 1t as binding as any
law how On the statute books. By
repeating this law they have repealed
the only law that has ever been pas
sed that would directly benefit the
tenant class of farmers for conditions
do exist just as ". B. Cheshire said
they did in his article in The Daily
Intelligencer a few days ago, and. no
man dare deny, that such conditions
do not exist.
We venture the assertion that nine-
tenths OF the land awners in-Anderson
County would mot rent an. acre of
land to o tenant unless he would
agree.to plant at, least three-fourths
OF his crop in cotton and In nitity-nine
out of o hundred cases the Slandlord
would want the tenant to. plant corn
on some old red hillside with gullies
knee deep and so poor that you could
not even raise a fussten it. oE. course,
there are few exceptions to the rule
but they are scarce and far between.
We have been asked by some of our
citizens to reqpest the management of
The Inteiligencsr to publish the law
as to the cleaning out of distractions
In running streams IL there be such a
law In this State. We think il would
be u, good idea and great help for the
papers of ties State; to publish from
time to time such laws ae they wouid
be benefit to rural communities.
