forced to harvest the crops for the
live stock. One of the big factors
in securing profits from live stock
is saving the cost of harvesting. This
amounts to quite a big item. For
example, take the velvet bean which
is chief hog crop for Sumter coun-
ty. The cost CT harvesting a ton
Of beans amounts to one-half of the
market value of the bean or about
So per ton. By fencing the farm
the hog or COW can save this eight
dollars per ton on beans. The same
is true of any other crop the I've
stock can harvest.
Picking and selling beans or any
other food crop that live stock can
consume is ordinarily unwise. In
selling such crops from the farm
vast amount of fertilizer is CARED
from the farm every year when it
should stay on the farm to build the
soil. At present prices of fertilizer

as a fertilizer than as feed. The live

PRESTON SCHOOL
IN new HOME
Magnificent Struct ure
Erected For Consoli-
dated District

PRESTON, Jan. 2O.-The Pres,
ton Consolidated school moved into
its new $500 building Monday. Az
4 consequence, teachers and pupils
alike are happy. The new building
Is one of the best equipped in this
section.
The building is Of brick. The lum-
Der forming the framing is of heart
lumber sawed from timber in the Vi
cin.ty Of the school building. J. 0.
Reese, chairman Of the board Of
Atrustees, says: 1T is a truly home
product, cut from home timber, built
ky the hands of home labor" And
when he says it he looks proud and
well pleased.
The building is heated by the
Smith Heating system, which Chair
man Reese says is giving full salts
faction.
The district which composos this
consolidated school at Preston is
very large one. 1t is seven miles
wide and IS miles long, consisting of
all that part of Webster county east
of the Kinchafoonee creek to the
Sumter county line. Chairman Reese
says that the district contains ap-
proximately 40 per cent of the school
population Of Webster county.
The school has now 5 teachers, be-
sides Supt. R. w. James, and N.Y.
sic department. The pupils are
brought to the school in three trucks.
Judge J. R. Stapleton, one Of
Webster's oldest citizens, when
speaking Of the handsome new build
ing, was reminded of the old ~ days
when he started to school on the
same spot in 1854, along with j. A.
H. Hawkins, who was also standing
near. They spoke remin,scently of
the old days as compared with the
modern ideas Of educational work
with the new equipment and build
ings built for comfort and beauty.
From among those vino started to
school with Judge Stapleton, only
two others and himself are left.
These are Mr.. Hawkins and Mrs. S.
p. Smith, both Of whom are still in
Preston.
Judge Stapleton in discussing the
old days, asked the writer if he
knew that the present s. A. L. rails
way had its birth in Preston He
said that Judge D. 3. Harrell came
to his store one morning and sug-
gcstcd that he and Judge Stapleton
build q railroad. And as a result OF
this conversation the road was built
from Preston to Lumpkin in 1884.
Later the road was extended and
with Col. Sam Hawkins, Of Americas,
as president t became the Americus,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad. With
this as a nucleus. the road was
built on to Savannah and west to
Montgomery and Columbus. Judge
Staplcton said that he and his friend
lost the money they invested but got
The road which has done more to
build M this section than any other
agency.
Judge StapIeton, as well as all Of
the citizens of Preston and the school
district may well be proud of the
magnificent building which now
stands where the old school building
stood.
