Old Cannon
Found Buried
Relic of American Revolution
Dug Up Near Harleyyille

Har!eyville. June IA large
TITS, was found in Four Holes
Swamp near Harleyville. a few days
ago By workmen engaged in making
excavation for road building.
The cannon with several balls Of
two different sizes was buried be-
meath an embankment near an old
bridge on the road from Charleston to
Columbia Via Harleyville and was
pointed in the direction of the bridge.
The year, ITS. is inscribed on the
cannon-also other figures, etc. which
are not clearly visible owing to the
fact that il is very rusty having been
buried so long.
Citizens Of the community are very
much interested in the discovery and
would like to know just why it was
left there. but have not succeeded in
gaining the particulars.
1t is interesting to note that this
cannon was found not far distant
from historic Eutaw Springs where
an important battle of the Rcvolu-
ton was fought in 1871.
The citizens of Harleyville intend
having this famous old gun cleaned
and placed IN position near their rail
road depot or on the new concrete
bridge which Will span Four Holes in
this section. and which Will be part
Of the national highway now being
built.
The cannon is at present in the
yard of Hon. H. II. Gross of Harley
vile. State senator from Dorchester
county.

state department of agriculture. COM
merce and industries has about con-
cluded arrangements for the use of
quarters in the Liberty Trust build

Liberty National bank building. These
quarters will be used. unless it is
found that the University can extend
the time for use of the laboratory
space on the campus.
Both the department of agriculture
and the state board Of health have
been notified to vacate the labora-
tory rooms in LaConte College. The
board of health will consider this
matter at meeting TO be held in Co
lunIbia at an early date. DR.. j. A.
Hayne. state health officer, stated
yesterday that it would mean a large
outlay Of money to move the health
department laboratories. as their
equipment is large. 1t is said that
suitable quarters will not be available.
and if they should be. there would be
no funds to cover the rental. The
health department keeps large
stock of rabbits and guinea piss. for
use in making experiments. and these
are necessary in connection with the

that it would pay him to stay here
rather than move back to the old

South Carolina Dairy Products

Clemson College, June 1.-The aw-
full slump in cotton prices has caused
many cotton growers to look for other
types of agriculture to take the place
partly of cotton, and a number OF
these farmers have turned to dairy
ing. There is probably no other line
Of farming which will fit in so Well
with cotton growing says NJ. Il. Iol-
strup, associate professor of dallylnG.
In fact, many people contend that 1t
would be possible to replace one-thlrd
of the cotton acreage with dairy farnl-
ing and still produce practically as
much cotton as formerly, since the
dairy industry would improve the ply
sical and chemical condition Of the
soil to such an extent that the IN
creased yield would cOunter-balance
the reduction in acreage.
South Carolina does not produce
dairy products in sufficient quantity
to take care of its own needs. yet
there are certain times of the year,
when there is considerable surplus
of milk especially, which cannot be
disposed of. The conditions really
need not exist and could easily be
overcome if everybody would adopt
the slogan: Use South Carolina
dairy products in South Carolina.
Some people have the erroneous
idea that they must "cross the river
to get water and some people think
they can get better and cheaper
dairy products outside of their own
state. Such reasoning is wrong. In
the first place South Carolina can
and does produce as good quality OF
milk as any other state in the Union.
although at present she can not pro-
duce it in quite as large quantities.
In the second place although some
other states may produce milk little
cheaper than we can, when transpor-
tation charges and the profits of the
several middlemen are AIDED to the
price of the out-of-state products, we
can get our own dairy products as
cheap as those from other states.
and the home product is in fresher
condition.
We should therefore improve our
opportunities IN prOQucllOn IL u
manufacturing. so that we may COM
pete favorably with other states.
with rapid strides in that respect.
Our next step is to improve the mar
keting conditions for the home pro-
ducts of the dairy farm. In this
matter we have been behind but
there are signs Of Improvement.
Dairymen are getting together slowly
but surely, and will see to it that
through cooperation their products
Will be assem- bled in large enough
quantities TO insure economic manu-
featuring Of the highest quality pro-
duct Then will come proper and
efficient facilities for distribution.
Meanwhile let US boost for our
South Carolina dairy products, use
them in greater quantities. and buy
from the outside only when we can
not get enough at home. When all of
this is done. we shall have added to
the health. wealth, and happiness Of
the population of South Carolina.
