Auto Trip From Abbeville to
Aiken:

The Medium man went through the
country in an automobile to Aiken
on Tuesday. Farmers in Aiken and
Edgefeld counties are not any ahead
of us; few fields of cotton have been
plowed, and few have been thinned,
but the great majority Of it is small
and hasn't been touched on account
of toe much rain. Between the Edge
field county line and the Court House
the county seems deserted. There is
practically no cotton planted in this
section, and very little Of anything
else. The people are busy hauling
lumber and that seems to be their
chief means Of livelihood. One negro
said he was planting two acres Of.
cotton to the plow. The roads in this.
section remind us of roads in this
county ten years ago, and if anything,
they are little worse, caused by
lumber wagons. It is said the lumber
business brings about $4,000 to-
Edgefeld a month. The road in ques-
tion was built last year at an ex-s
pense of about $4,000 mile. If so.
the 100000 was thrown away. Many.
of the stores i'm Edgefeld are cold;
timey" looking, having the small
front windows, while there are few
with modern fronts. The town, as s.
whole, does not present an appear
ance of progress. 1t has no paved
streets, but has light and water.
1t has one good thing, however,
and that is the Dixie Highway Hotel.
run by Conductor Moore, who owns
the Edgeield branch just as Capt.
Syfan owns the Abbeville branch. He
is genial, good-hearted fellow, and
he certainly knows how to feed you-
His meals are served with prompt
ness, everything is clean, the food is,
we'll cooked and seasoned, and every
thing is nice, clean and fresh. Thes
building is three stories, and modern
in every respect. If you want good
meal and are out automobiling, you
can afford to go out of your way to
get there. He will treat you right and
give you value received. He must.
have the road between Greenwood
and Edgefeld fixed, however, before.
he can expect much business from.

Several of my cousins have passed

back there roaming over thesola red

made many tracks in my q est1ilstaeod lases q
days. :sS.
Readers, excuse me for mentioning
a few of my early recollectso of
those days gone by. l can rsce.lsct
when the mail hack used to rl1n by
where my father lived, en- rouSe from
Edgefeld court house to NinstE3zsSEx. sE
We lived near Dorn's Mil where
there was postoffice and achasing
station. Therefore we got to s1ssaS the
bugle blow for the stable nlensto have
fresh horses ready to hitch to the
hack. I can actually recollect ,rAen

wore women's clothes, and theasexes
could be easily distinguished BY their i
manner of dress. can recollectsWhen
the corn-crib and smoke-house We're
important buildings on the spianta-
ton. / can recollect the old8feld
schoolhouse with part of one log miss
ing on the back, the opening nl;.ll' the
wall serving as window. Fronifhese
places came our leaders forSchurch,
state and nation. SIS
/ will now side track a little and
imagine some one is asking the cues
ton, Do you want to drift backsinto
the practices Of those old daysa l
will answer this only in part. II my
weak judgment many of the old time
customs and practices have never
been improved upon. They may yet
but I don't know. One more item OF
recollection, when people wanted
school house they built it; when a
church they built it; when q bridge
was needed they built it and when
the public road needed repairs; the
road hands were warned out ard the
work soon done. All such, issnoW done
by the bond issue plan, which l
frankly say has we'll nigh got the
the whole country bankrnn
Now / will tell the Caro- fnians a
little about conditions in this section
of Texas. The early part ear
was very dry but sineeS ing
rains setSmi s We have: had faiil "a great
abundance, which is very much out Of
the ordinary here.e Our section has
been badly damaged as we see it from
human standpoint. Our farm work
has been greatly hindered but the
people of this section of the globe
have much to be thankful for. We
have but little trouble with the boil
weevil and have plenty of food stuff.
The fertilizer and boil weevil prob
lens are still unknown to us. We also
have very healthy climate. Our
country is gradually developing into
an oil field. So all things considered
we ought to be quiet for while.

This, a peep into the future. may

John w. Barth, Of Omaha, speaker
at the ninth annual convention of
the National Association Of Mutual
Life Underwriters, held here. Mr..
Barth declared the day when hui.
mans will live to the age Of 300
years or more is very possible.
Never laugh at prophecies" he
said. THE human race has added
ten years to the length Of life Of
the average man in the past fifty
years, and every indication points to
the fact that an equal amount will
be added in the next fifty years.
Take actual cases now. There

who lived to be S25 years old. The
oldest man in the United States
of whom we have record was a man
In Massachusetts who died a few
years ago at the age Of 1876.
"And who can tell what will hap
pen when prohibition becomes an
actual fact7 My experience in deal.

Of not many years ago. Today
there are more than ten more
