ter county is great county and will continue to be
even greater; and why the eyes of the remainder of

In the larger cities of the South who make bust
of locating farmers in new homes. We are con-
vinced as others have been who have come here
and seen, that new blood and new money will flow
into Sumter county and her untitled lands will be
put under the pillow just asrapidly the people on
the outside grasp the truths about her. 1t our pur-
pose, therefore, tc attempt to set before these peo-
pie as truthfully and convincngly as possible
these facts We want to tell these people something
OF our great grain crop this year. of the growing and
profitable peach industry, of our stately pecan
groves growing yearly into fabulous values; of the
fancy cattle now being bred here, of the pre-en1i~
nent position the hog industry is taking in Sumter
of our ability to grow we'll every kind of vegetation
known except the sub-tropical; of our corn fields
which surpass in productiveness those Of he corn
belt (ths is written by native of the corn belt who
knows what he is talking about), of our cotton
fields which, thanks to diversified farming, now
yield excellent profits instead of bare living or an
actual loss in former days. of our mineral beds,
which include the greatest kaoEn deposits in the
United States; and of numerous other natural re-
sources.

DID YOU KNOW THAT

The South produces 90 per cent of the
country's sweet potato crop and 80 per cent
of the country's rice? Sumter county is not a
rice growing county, but its yams are not ex-
celIed, and one of the richest of its possibilities
lies in development of this industry for the
northern and western market.

Juan Fernandez.

For many years Juan Fernandez, q
Chilean Island on the eastern coast Of
South America. was known as Cru
soe's island, because another adven-
turer had spent FIVE years there In
solitude. and II was thought for some
time that Defoe had recorded this
hermits experience. But following
Crusoe's directions that he landed on
an island In a latitude Of IL degrees
nearer the mouth Of the Orinoco river,
and in sight Of the Island Of Trinidad.
one comes upon the Island Of Tobago.
the only one answering the descrip-
ton.
An interesting discovery which
gave prominence TO Tobago as the
real Crusoe's island occurred some
years ago. when the skeleton Of a
goat was unearthed In 4 cave on the
island. This conceded remarkably
with Crusoes statement that he
found a dying goat In a hillside cave
and later buried 1t there. "Crusoe's
goat" became for a time an object OF
great popular interest and figured as
q prominent exhibit at the Chicago
Worlds fair.
Tobagos failure to obtain greater
recognition Of Its Importance as the
"only authentic Robinson Crusoe
island" is doubtless due to the fact
that II is retiring little island, con-
cerned chiefly with its plantations and
trade. Leaving Crusoe out altogether.
Tobago has had an eventful history,
from the time IL was discovered by Co
lumbus, on his third voyage. until Eng
