Sale of Lewiston Orchards At
tracing Widespread At
tention

Much interest is being shown
throughout the Lewiston country
IN the Bondholders' Sacrifice
Sale OF Lewiston Orchards, which
takes place October 9, 1920. Ap-
pllcations are pouring in from all
parts Of the country and from
present indications the SO tracts
being offered will not be suffi-
cient to supply the demand.
foHt''"" that is attracting
much attention is the method OF
sale. No land will be sold before
October 8. AT this time the appli-
cations that have been made will
be placed in a hat and line
formed of purchasers in the order
lin which their applications are
drawn from the hat. The pur-
chasers in making application in
dicate their several choices of
tracts and in case tracts they Sc
lected have already been sold
their money is refunded.
The exceptionally low prizes of
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre are respon-
sible for the large number of peo-
|ple interested. The price of $3.50
|per acre for full-bearing orchards
is less than 1s the price the same
kind of. land is bringing in the
other irrigated districts in the
northwest. Some of the tracts III
the district report annual crops
larger than the price being asked
at this sale.
Most of the applications to
date have been from residents of
the outlying districts, and some
of the purchasers will be farmers
who are looking for small tract
near the city, where they can en-
joy Lewiston's fine system of
schools, and other city advant-
ages.
The tracts offered vary from S
to 80 acres in size and consist of
land in orchard, alfalfa, corn and
small produce.
People realize that these are
the last orchard lands that can be
developed in the Lewiston valley
and are fastening to take advan-
tages of their wonderful oppor-
tunity before it is too late.

fair sized audience of local farm
ers and business men at the Tenn
nle hall in this city last night
along political and sociological
lines, and his talk demonstrated
that he had given much thought
to his subject. While some OF his
views might be considered ex-
treme by the conservatives, there
was much real democracv IN his
story and much worthy the care
ful consideration Of those who
heard him.

What d FARMER Says of Senator
Smith and His Candidacy.

Mr.. Editor: Please give me space
to write a few words relative to the
nomination of the successor to Sena-
tor E. D. Smith in the United States
Senate. Without disparaging the
merits of the three good lawyers op
posing Senator Smith--such as may
be found at most any bar in the
state-I wish to urge the importance
of re-electing "Cotton" Smith on his
record.
Impossible for me to enumerate in
this article one one-hundredth of the
things done by him as our senator
for the whole people, and especially
the farmers and other laboring
classes. H F was once president Of
the Cotton JGrowers' Association and
was very active in exerting his every
effort to increase the price of cotton
After becoming our senator, he Sc
cured passage of the cotton futures
act, preventing depression of prices by
the tender of valueless cotton
on contracts; cooperated in the stan
dardization of cotton grades; COM
parison of grades; offered resolution
to ascertain how much American cot
ton is needed abroad and the best
methods of supplying it; secured gov
eminent cotton reports, and the CEN
sus department to furnish number IF
bales spinnable and unspinnable cot
ton on hand; secured appropriation
during the war of fun, III.
lion dollars for the distribution of nj
trate of soda among the farmers at
cost. saving them from s25 to $50 a
ton: favored pushing our cotton goods
to every part of the world; had the

the arrnistice was signed; the erec

has been expended s536.51, leaving a

The above will show where the
money derived from these two town
ships has gone. The vehicle tax for
1920 has not yet been turned in to
the road authorities.
Everyone is familiar with labor con-
ditions that have existed for the past
few years, which probably could have
been obtained by paying exhorbitant
prices, and would have resulted in
drawing the much needed labor from
the farm to the roads. No farmer has
been refused the opportunity of work
ing on the roads with pay for his
services when not needed on his fan

Mr.. Hammett, has been held response

and bridges in this county. would
like the public to understand that ac-
cording to the present law, his duties
are only that of clerk or bookkeeper
to the board of county commissioners.
The money raised in Williamsburg
County for roads in 1920 amounts to
S43,334.s5, or s24.07 per mile. AT
the present prices of labor, lumber
and other material, it will be neces-
sary that our taxes be increased il

might call your attention to the
fact that an adjoining county has let

six miles of concrete road at $4,000

stand as they are, it will take US more
than 1000 years to build the 1.SA
miles of road in Williamsburg County.
So, Mr.. Editor, here's to increased
taxes and good roads.

A rather unusual and painful acci-

Mr.. E. S. David yesterday afternoon
when he had his ear bitten. off by a
horse which belongs to Mr.. l.. 5.
Dennis. 1t seems that ne horse was
drinking at the artesian well ON Mill
and Hampton streets. Mr.. DAVID
went to the well and was drinking
from the spout when the horse, with
out the least warning reached over
and snapped off more than half OF
the mans ear. The part Of the ear
taken off was not found and it is sup
posed that the horse swallowed II.
Mr. David was taken to the Kelley
sanatorium where the injury was
treated at Mr.. Dennis expense.

me space in your valuable columns to
reply to Farmer?

think that some others are reaping
the benefit of it ALL" and has "been
living in Sutton township for twenty
years and there have never been more
than hundred or two dollars put on
the roads since l came down here"
The records on file in the County
Supervisors office will show for the
past ten years what has beep spent on
roads and bridges in Anderson and
Sutton townships, and are open for
public inspection. These records will
show that much more than "a hun
dred or two dollars" has been spent
on these roads since he came there.
It was possible that this money in
question could have been spent else
where until the passage of the pres
ent law, which requires the money to
be spent in the township from which
it was derived.

Just now there is a most luxuriant
growth of weeds on every vacant lot
in town, and many of the side walks
are also supplied with profuse
growth of them as a result of the
very wet season we have just passed
through. These weeds are so thick
that the sun does not penetrate their
density and there is a continued
dampness which accounts largely for
the present abundant crop of mos
quitoes that nightly invade the homes
of Kingstree dwellers. Cut your
weeds, exterminate mosquitoes and
prevent sleepless nights.
