PICKENS COUNTY DEPARTMENT
By F. H. WILLIAMS.

During the past week rains have
fallen in many sections Of the coun-
IN. which give the crops, especially
tile corn crop, more prosperous APP
pcarance. We have rambled around
considerably during the past week in
Pickena, Lamar, and Fayette coun-
ties. and in each county have found a
large acreage planted in corn, and up
ia Lamar county the crop is exceed
inely promising. All that is needed
now for an abundant corn yield in
these counties is plenty Of moisture
and an enormous crop will be gath
cred in the harvest time.
Considerable excitement was Great
ed at Lathrop, one mile east of Re-
form last Friday morning when two
or three negro workmen at the saw
min plant of the Lathrop Lumber
Company assaulted the foreman, Mr..
A. X. Davis. From accounts reaching
as Mr.. Davis gave some of the ne
qroes a reprimand for coming onto
the mill shed smoking, which was
resented by one of their number, and
in the course of his insulting re-
marks to a white man was shot by the
foreman. This enraged the others,
who sprang upon Mr.. Davis and
slashed him two or three times be-
fore help reached the scene The me-
rroes mnde their escape into the
woods, but two have been captured
lodged in the Jail at CarrolHon. Ano-
ther one who is charged with using
the knife is still at large, but every |
effort is being used for his appre-
hension and it is hoped he will be
caught and the right punishment
meted oul to him. Mr.. Davis is
resting comfortably and it is believed
be will recover from the wdlnds in
flieted, provided no complications set
in. He is very popular among
large number Of friends who win re-
gret to hear of the unfortunate oc-
curence.

RumbIings Round
Rural Hill

On last Saturday afternoon a little
cloud made its appearance over ool
community and gave US nice local
rain, but later there came dark an
cry looking cloud on the Southern
horizon which soon came up and with
it came good rain that lasted on in
to the night and how we Rural Hill
folks did appreciate. this great bless
ing that means bread and meat for
another year. The dry hot winds from
the north, the thermometer at 100 and
more, our crops were just burning up
and we were feeling mighty blue, but
we are thankful and if nothing serious
happens we will make plenty of corn
for home use and maybe we can divide
with out town folks. am going to
try and sport Mr.. lines bushel or
two to- help pay my subscription to
the dear old Dispatch. Now folks
since we have had good rain do
not forget your gardens and truck
patches. If you will begin you can
have a good garden in six weeks that
will last you all fall and winter Mrs.
Ruralite has her Irish potatoes al
ready planted and says she is going
to have lot Of other things planted
in the next few days, so old Ruralite
is going to be busy for awhile.
Last Sunday was regular preaching
day out at Pleasant Hill church and
as the church has given Brother New
ton vacation the church asked Prof.
Whitfield to fill his place, which he
did. On account of it not being gen
orally known that there was to be
services our crowd was small, but
those Of us who had the pleasure of
hearing this good man felt amply paid
for one time. Prof. Whitfield's sub
ject was Gods Love for Us" and /
think he proved to his audience that
God loves us all the time even when
we are inclined to be bad. 1t is a
great thing for a community to have
a man in it like Prof. Whitfield and
believe our people appreciated him.
want to say right now Mr. Editor
that | most heartily endorse what
you had to say about this man for
Governor, | think you can count Rural
Hill solid for him and if he decides to
