LAD MAKES GOOD
WITH OWN DAIRY

Yeargin Poole, Beginning on a Small
| Scale, Has Large Dairy in Laurens
| County.
Gray Court, Dec. 90 What young
man can accomplish by staying on
the farm, applying himself earnest
ly to the tasks at hand and being
eternally ambitious is shown by a
visit to the dairy Of Yeargin Poole,
three miles from Barksdalc and twice
that distance from Gray Court.
This young man, who returned
from the navy three years ago, has
shown that brains and pluck will Off
set experience in managing dairy.
He was student at Clemson before
entering the navy and after tossing
about ON one OF Uncle Sans foaters
for 10 months was eager to return
to the farm.
AS many persons know (and some
have experfenced) the farm has a
dark side as well as a bright one. The
liberty, the freedom from alarm
clock and hourly bell are offset by
the heat of summer, the cold of win
ter and the uncertainty as to mar
ket for farm products.
Young Poole decided to launch in
to the dairy business for two rea-
sons. The first Of these, ho said, was
because ho wanted to stay at homo
and quit travelling over the country.
The second was because d man from
Spartanburg who visited the place,
suggested a dairy, offering to buy all
! OF the milk young Poole would ship
there
Beginning on small scale the
former sailor has expanded until he
has II cows, many Of them registered
Jerseys and Guernseys, and many
other head OF cattle The adjoining
helds, where is grown most OF the
forage necessary to sustain the cattle,
show benefits Of fertilization and are
a keen contrast to the red hills where
many farmers still persist in placing
only fertilizer that Is sold in sacks.
]
ress) young Poole has systematized
his marketing and ships cream each
morning to Greenville, having aban-
doned Spartanburg as market.
He Is yet young man, being only
well started In his twenties, but un-
less there Is change he says he
probably will keep at the dairylng in
dustry. He has learned much about
1t. he says, although modestly admit
ting that what he doesn't know
would fill a book. But the farm, the
large milk cans which each morning
are carried by trucks to the railroad
station and the fine herd Of cattle
speak success for the led more plain
ly than do any OF his own words.

Taxes Being Paid Slowly

Taxes are coming in slowly, said
County Treasurer Young, yesterday.
With only this week left during which
county taxes may be paid without pen
atty, he said, a very small proportion
OF the taxes had been paid. People
have a tendency, however, to put off
tho tax paying question until the last
minute and the treasurer Is looking
for heavy receipts this week.

The orphan children of Hosea Mar

Visit from Santa Claus like other
children as result Of the open-heart-
ed response to the appeal for that

last week. The mail of The Adyer

low, and personal canvas by Mr.. r.
q. Rolf, a member Of The Advertiser
force, brought still other contribu
tions. The total sum thus far real
lZed amounts to $106.35.
The editor Of The Advertiser. after
conferring with friends, decided that
II would not be wise to cxpend this
large sum for Christmas presents
alone, especially since it had been
round that few gifts had already
neen sent the children. 1t was there
ore decided to exfpend reasonable
sum, about $40, for toys and trinkets

$4.4o, to buy a case Of condensed milk
lor little Lois, the infant child.
The Advertiser is Informed that the
fve older children are to be taken
into an orphanage. The orphanages
at this time have moro applications
than they can possibly comply with,
we are told. To accept go many chill
drcn from one family under the pres
ent conditions is readily seen to be
out OF the ordinary and for that rea-
son The Advertiser is goinng to place
itself at the service Of a sympathetic
public in helping to give reasonable
assistance to the orphanage in caring
for these children
Therefore, unless objection is raised
by the donors to the fund to date. the
balance Of the fund, amounting to
9'I.fo, VIII be made q nucleus to be
enlarged into a substantial fund to
be presented to the orphanage as an
endowment fund, known as the Hosea

we hope to make at least $1,000. The

commence to pay the expenses OF these
