THE NEW AWAKENING.


That a new day is come to the
farmers Of the South we all see'
Nothing is doing more to help along
matters than the interest of the gov.
ernment in improved methods OF
farming. The hundreds Of demon
stration agents, located in the sever.
al counties and political divisions OF
the South, are doing good work.
But we believe great deal more
could be done with fewer agents,
better equipped for the work, than
with agents in every county as we
now have them. Without undertak.
ing to discount the work done by
any particular employee of the gov
ernment, we make the statement that
the success of a farmer like Bob
Hodges, of Hodges, who has con-
verted the sandy waste lands around
Hodges into the most fertile acres in
all this section, is worth more'to the
county than all the book-farmers in
the state. .. .... ,
And we do not mean to say that
Bob Hodges has not the theory, and
that he does not read and study. his
subject as much as does Secretary
Houston. What we do say is that he
not only does this, but he has put
his knowledge to a practical test, and
he has made good. He has taught
the farmers in his section that the
fertilizers which they have been buy
ing are indigenous to the soil which
they work, and if only they will use
their thinking apparatus to turn tho
fertilizers loose, they may be made
available. With crimson clover he
is doing the work, which the high
grade fertilizers, imported for the
most part from abroad, formerly
did for all the farmers. And there
are other men who are doing the
same. There is Major W. H. Long,
who in three years has converted q
rocky hillside, abandoned lands, in
to cotton lands producing 3 bale of
cotton to the acre. And there is s.
]. Wakefield, of Antreville, who has
done and who is doing the same
thing. ..'. ..@.L,- ~ .
The one day Of investigation made
by the farmers of Abbeville and
Greenwood counties, and adjoining
counties, on the farm Of II Z. Hodges
during this summer, has been worth
more, we believe, in practical results
than has the work of all the demon
stration agents in this congressional
district. It made men see the posG!

A MANS A MAN.

The report of the Baptist Hospital
TO, the year just ending is Of inter
est - the people Of Abbeville chief
" because the manager is one of the
most beloved men and preachers
whs ever lived in our midst. He took
charge Of the Hospital when it was
an bat q failure, and he has brought
erdsy out of confusion, and made
several blades of grass to grow
whore before there was only waste
land g..
But We are not surprised, We are
only delighted that Mr.. Bristsw was
given an opportunity to show what
man can do after he has been an
AbAsvills citizen. He came here and
founl . handful of members, none
Of whom had ever taken much exer-
else IN the art Of giving, he built
the handsome new Baptist church,
whish i an ornament to the city, and
the pride of all the Baptists here
abosA Ee built a handsome par
sonaxs, and he had just gotten to
the place where he might enjoy the
results Of his own work, when the
can came to take up the work else
whore on which others had failed.
He did not falter, he went at it with
a via, and we are glad for the
Gauss, for the great denomination
and for MI. Bristow that he has
again shown us the results Of his

BACK UP AND COUPLE.

y
The daily papers printed in the
Georgia capital tell US that applica-
ton has been made to the Secretary
Of State of Georgia for. a charter
for the trolley line to be built from
Anderson to Atlanta. The road will
cross the Savannah at Browns Ferry,
eight miles beyond Antreville.
Now Abbeville county has been cut
to the minimum. The whole of the
lowe, part Of the county has gone
from us, but we have been left the
fertile farming lands Of the upper
part Of the county, which under the
constitution cannot be taken from
But these lands are worth nothing
to the city Of Abbeville if the pro-
duce Of these farms is not exposed
for sale on our market, and if the
people Of this section do their bank
ing and, trading in Anderson and
Greenville and Greenwood.
And, Abbeville is connected with
none of these sections. Lowndes-

vile is Joined to Anderson Sy rail.
road, and Due West and Donalds
are in easy reach of Anderson and
Greenwood, and the people Of these
places more often visit these cities
than they do Abbeville.
But Antreville is Joined to no place
as yet. And it has been the dream
of the Antreville people to get better
connections with some railway town.
and they will get it sooner or later,
do not forget that fact. A commun-
ity whose farming lands now sell fol
one hundred dollars per acre, and
whose crops are worth so many
thousands of dollars annually, will
not always be left out in the cold.
Therefore, we believe that the
people of this city should undertake
to build some kind of highway,
either trolley line, or steam rail-
road, or a forty-foot public highway,
so as to connect with the trolley
line at the nearest point beyond An
treville, and thus bring the Antre-
vile people in close touch with us
and with the great Seaboard system
of railways, and at the same time
connect ourselves with the fine farm
ing lands and the good people on
both sides of the river.
We are firm believers in the mo-
tor driven vehicles now growing in
use 50 fast. We shall have ten and
twenty ton trucks on our public
roads very soon, just as soon as the
roads will furnish them the means
Of doing the work for which they are
designed. And for that reason We
should prefer a forty foot road to
and beyond Antreville to either a
steam road or a trolley system.
A forty foot road with twenty feet
of cement in the middle for the
heavy traffic and with space for
lighter vehicles ON either side would
Be the greatest feeder we have ever
aad. It might be kept up in many
ways. Of course it would cost some
hing to build it and it would cost
something to maintain it, but it
Sould be worth the price.
The members of the General As
sembly from Abbeville County if they
want to do something worth while
for this section, might put their
heads together and seek to. put some
plan in operation whereby this great
boon might be brought to Abbeville
and Antreyille and way stations,

TH1 sELL-A-BALE MOVEMENT.

We endorse every word Of the wise
susssstion Of the Anderson Daily
Nail that it is now up to the farmers
to hslp out the towns by selling to,
every salaried man in the towns a
bale Of cotton for ten cents per
pouAA. Two yearssago the salaried
mea q town, m order to help the
far-slfs out of the difficulties under
whi.A they .labored or thought they
labessd and to keep many Of them
from bankruptcy, as it was stated,
joined the movement to buy a bale
Of cotton at ten cents per pound,
when it was worth only about seven.
he tables have now turned, and
the salaried man is pressed to the
wall, and his wife and children are
jusa where the farmers wife and
childhsn were two years ago. They
nesa help. In this crisis the Daily
Nail suggests that the farmers sell
ono la}s Of cotton to each Of these
salazisd men who helped them in
thss. iihiculties at ten cents per
pound so that the salaried men may
sell As same for a good profit and

We learned today from Ella
0hristiansen, son Of Peter Chris
Hansen, in the country, the con-
tents Of the note which was writ
ten by Paul Larson to Peter Chris
|tiansen q few hours before he
committed suicide. y
It was written in old style Dam
ish language and was somewhat
difficult to read, but we were told
that the substance Of the note
was, he couldn't stand II any
longer. Mr.. Christiansen did not
know what it was Mr.. Larson
could not stand. whether it was
poor health or money affairs.
He also told Mr.. Christiansei
about the condition Of his prop
erty and affairs and what he
wanted done with what he had
left, and thanked Mr.. Christiansen
for all favors and ended by bid
ding him goodby, thus leaving the
cause Of his death as much Of q
mystery as it was before.
