The editor of an obscure Dakota paper says: "A certain fastidious woman in this town kneads bread with her gloves on. That's nothing. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on.

FAMILY KILLING.
Grandfather and Grandson Engage i'm
Mortal Combat Near Gaffney.

Gaffney, Nov. 22.-I. p. Sarratt and
Revis Dawson killed each other at
Sarratt's home just across the line of
Cherokee county yesterday afternoon
at six o'clock. Dawson was Sarratt' S
grandson, and was about rs years of
age. Sarratt was 67. 1t is said that
Dawson met his father yesterday
morning and made threats against
his grandfather. Going to the house,
he sat down and talked quietly with
the old man, showing copy of the
divorce which he had recently obtain
ed from his wife in North Carolina.
Dawson suggested that they walk out
to the hogpen, according to the state
ment Of Mrs. Sarratt, and that her
husband reached to the mantel and
took down his revolver, which was in
a scabbard, and that Dawson saw him
do this. Then, Mrs. Sarratt contin-
ued, she heard her husband say If
you do I will and then the shooting
commenced. Dawson emptied his pis-
tol and Sarratt shot twice. Only one
ball took effect in Sarratt, he being
shot through the right breast. Both
men died Immediately after being
shot, neither of them speaking. 1t is
said that it was Mr.. Sarratt's custom
to carry his pistol whenever he left
the house at night.
Dawson's father lives within a
few miles of Gaffney, and it is said
that young Dawson has been in trou-
bic before. The Sarratt home is with
in eight miles of Gaffney, and the ira
gedy coming. so soon after the brutal
killing Of the two Kirby boys last
Saturday has created much discus

Home Service.

The home service section of the
Bamberg Red Cross chapter is still
quite busy. Many new problems are
daily developing in connection with
eX-service men, some which cases
have been recently closed, while a
number of others are still pending.
Quite an extensive correspondence
is being carried on and the demand
for Red Cross service steadily in
creases. The kind of service render
ed is innumerable, ranging from the
seemingly insignificant things as buy
ing a primer for a school lad to the
all important purchase Of a house
and lot.
The following comment throws an
interesting light on the attitude of
the public towards the Red Cross. AT
ter numbers had failed in getting
something done for disabled soldier
and the Red Cross had succeeded, the
director said: 1T looks so easy for
the Red Cross to do things" But as
someone has said, This apparent cas-
mess is simply the public's way of
paying a tribute to a record of real
service. Julien c. Easterling, Sec.

INCREASE OF FARMS.
Nearly 10000 More Individual Farms
in State Than 20 Years Ago.

The number of farms in South Car
olina has shown remarkable in
crease since 1910, according to tg-
ures compiled by Prof. Wilson Gee,
of the University of South Carolina.
The total number Of farms in the
state in 1920 as shown in the census
report is 1864, an increase of 16,-
23O, or approximately nine per cent.
over the number in 1910. The in
crease, however, Prof. Gee points out,
is not so marked as between 1900 and
1910, when it was 1876 per cent.
The inference is," Prof. Gee says,
that the average size farm in the
state has decreased in proportion to
the increase in number of farms, al
though this is modified in some mea-
ure by the fact that some Of the idle
land in the state has been opened up
for cultivation.
1T is interesting to note in this
connection that there has been a
marked continuous decrease in the
average size of farm in South Carroll
ma every decade since 1850. In that
year the average size of farm was
541.2 acres; in 1850, 1882 acres; in
1870, 1882 acres; in 1880, 1874 ac-
res; in 1890, 114.6 acres; in 1900,
80 acres, and in 1910, 1876 acres.
The larger size farm in 1850 is
due to slavery and the plantation sys-
tenn. The average size of the tenant
farm in 1910 was 44.2 acres, inclus-
i've of untitled land, indicating dis
tinct tendency towards the one horse
farm as the typical unit of South Car
olina farming. 1t is doubtful whether
this tendency is on the whole a good
one. Certainly the white tenant far
mer is unable to make enough on
such a small farming area to provide
for the standard of living which he
should maintain.
"It is we'll to bear in mind in a
consideration of these data that a
farm for census purposes is all the
land, which is directly farmed by one
person, either by his own labor
or with the assistance Of members OF
his household or hired employees.
When a land owner has one or more
tenants, renters, troopers or mana
gers. the land operated by each is
considered 'fam.'"
