to find him much improved and loo2-

his wonted health and active in the
business life of the community.
The crops along the way are look

tain and on down near Columbia there
has been plenty of rain, and there is
IN abundance of fine corn and some
good looking cotton. But cotton does
not need so much rain. There is go
ing to be a big corn crop in this Sec
ton of the world this year unless all
signs fail, that is a big crop for US
as we are not a corn growing section.
No, 1 didn't see the governor while
in Columbia, but I did see my young
friend Major John .. Frost and he is
looking as bright and serene and hap
py as ever. He was busy in his Office
writing war orders and receiving call

say a kind word for old times sake

in the State house together, he in the

and times have changed. The world
moves and we must keep moving to
